I am the king of the dead

Just in the memorial, if it can be completed, it will be exciting.

But what if it doesn't work out?

Wang Wen stood up, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think that this matter must be dealt with slowly. Every three months, we will discuss hydrological matters. Which river section and how much labor is needed? Silt or hidden reef, how to do it needs to be discussed carefully.”

There is really no rush for this matter, Zhu Qiyu didn't plan to call it out today, and build it tomorrow.

The matter of dismantling Nanzhili is already very urgent. If the [-]-mile waterway is completed within three years, then the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty will be the uprising of the people across the country.

This thing comes slowly.

Zhu Qiyu had a clear understanding of this, and even Yu Qian, who proposed this opinion, did not intend to live to see the dredging of the [-]-mile waterway completed.

Honglu Temple Minister Yang Shan took a deep breath, stood up, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese state paid tribute to the court, traveled to Linqing, and plundered the residents' property. There are many crimes. I was commanded by Linqing to question and was beaten to death. !"

Zhu Qiyu was very annoyed when he heard this, and said sharply: "The slaves are so daring! You dare to rob the property of the residents of Daming, and you go to question me, but you dare to beat my officials of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Immediately go to the Siyi Pavilion in Jinkou and arrest all the criminals and bring them back to Beijing! If they are all accomplices, arrest them all!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't like the pirates themselves.

In addition, the previous case of the Confucian Mansion still has a tail, although the Confucian family has been neatly learning about the Yuanyuan, but after all, the residual poison is clean!

Now dare to rob the people of Ming Dynasty in the realm of Ming Dynasty!

They also beat Ming Dynasty officials!

Yang Shan didn't expect His Majesty to be so angry at all, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "All of them have been arrested and brought to justice, and now they have been sent to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen."

Zhu Qiyu lost his temper, nodded and said: "After the trial, send it directly to Jieyuan Court."

Yu Shiyue hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "Your Majesty, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the crime does not warrant death."

Robbing property without killing anyone, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, is a crime not punishable by death.

Zhu Qiyu asked back: "Are they from Daming?"

"Ah? This..." Yu Shiyue bowed his head and said, "No."

Your majesty's rhetorical question made Yu Shiyue confused for a while. It is true that the Japanese envoy is not from the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that there is no problem with your majesty's decision.

But something seems wrong.

Yu Shiyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are laws to follow, and we will act according to the law. Your Majesty, if this is sent directly to Jieyuan, what will happen if the vassal states no longer pay tribute?"

"Whether love comes or they don't come, I'll let someone take it for me!" Zhu Qiyu was still relentless.

Yu Shiyue's worries were in vain. The vassal state paid tribute once a year, even if they were all killed, they would have to come next time.

Yu Qian thought about it seriously, Tongwa was a serious crime in Ming Dynasty, and the biggest crime in the Confucian government was Tongwo.

He stood up and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the country's system is governed by the rules and regulations. If the court cannot abide by the power struggle, who else in the world will abide by it?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots. It's okay to do what you want, but I think it's better to be convicted of the crime."

From the perspective of the system of the country, Yu Qian told His Majesty the result of doing so, and what Yu Qian said was very clever, and he was charged with the crime.

This can be done more beautifully.

Hu Wei hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, in the second year of Yongle, the Emperor of Japan was in decline, and General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu condemned his envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Wen canonized the Muromachi Shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as the king of Japan."

"Since then, the Wa Kingdom has bowed its head to Ming Dynasty and presented nearly [-] Japanese pirate leaders in Tsushima and Iki."

"Your Majesty, is this a long-term plan?"

There is an emperor in the Wa country, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the general of the Muromachi shogunate, and this also involves some methods of the Ming Dynasty to divide the Japanese pirates. Hu Wei did not go into details here, but talked about the long-term plan.

After Hu Yi took out the dragging formula, it's not too late to discuss it after the dynasty is over.

Your Majesty said, if you are really convicted, if you regret it in the future, wouldn't it be too late?

Zhu Qiyu knew Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the Ashikaga general in the cartoon "Ikkyu".

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and asked, "Why are the Japanese pirates so daring? In our Daming territory, Linqing plundered people's wealth? And beat our Daming officials?"

"In the seventh year of orthodoxy, nine tribute ships entered the tribute, with more than a thousand people. They seriously violated the system and acted recklessly along the way, but there was no punishment."

"Today's looting of property and beating of court officials is the result of yesterday's karma. If there is no severe punishment today, I will suffer from it in the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"Advancing every inch, insatiable greed! If there is no strict punishment, he will become even crazier in the future."

"When we reach the boundary of Daming, if there is any lawlessness in the future, we will send them all to Jieyuan!"

"If one person breaks the law, send one person away! If ten people break the law, send ten people away! If they all break the law, send them all away!"

"I've made up my mind."

Yu Qian and Hu Wei looked at each other, bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Isn't it just to kill a few Japanese pirates?How big is it?

Since His Majesty wants to kill, the courtiers are responsible for killing people without leaving any future troubles.

Yu Qian stood up and said that he would be punished after being convicted of the crime, which is justified, and Hu Wei did not intercede for the Japanese pirates. Which courtier in Ming Dynasty would intercede for the Japanese pirates?

Yang Shan of Honglu Temple continued to bow his head and said: "In addition to the tribute, the private belongings carried by the Japanese envoys have increased by more than ten times!"

"During the Xuande period, all the private belongings brought by the envoys were given money at the current price, or discounted cloth and silk. There were not many of them, but they made a lot of money!"

"If the system is still used today, 5000 million yuan should be given! If the price of silver is like this, its value should be greatly reduced."

The money here is big money, copper coins, about seven hundred cash for one tael of silver for one silver coin.

It's not Jingtai Tongbao made by Zhu Qiyu, it's a small coin, Jingtai Tongbao can only be exchanged for a silver coin for about [-] Wen.

Yang Shan continued: "Your Majesty, the minister said [-] silver coins, but the Japanese envoys still refused and wanted to add another [-]."

It was a private product of [-] silver coins, but it was given [-] silver coins.

Knowing that Yang Shan is the Minister of Honghe Temple, those who don't know think Yang Shan is from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Jin Lian immediately said loudly: "No, absolutely not!"

"An additional [-]?"

"Giving him [-] yuan is already the most benevolent and righteous. They have violated the rules by coercing them into the Ming Dynasty. Although the past generations have forgiven them and followed the rules! But adding more is absolutely impossible."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously and asked, "Is it okay to give Daming the treasure?"

"What I mean is that the Ming Dynasty's new banknotes set by the Ministry of Households before, the ones with small denominations."

"Ah?" Yang Shan looked at His Majesty dully, he didn't know that there were new banknotes in the household department.

Jin Lian blinked, he was already very stingy for not allowing the addition, and His Majesty wanted to give the treasure?

Your Majesty is indeed His Majesty!

Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to bring those small banknotes, which were beautifully printed and gravure, and the paper was also very delicate. The face value of these precious banknotes was not high.

Is it possible to let the Japanese country serve as a test field for treasure banknotes?

Anyway, the Japanese country can't print it.

Yang Shan looked at it for a long time and said, "I'm going to ask you?"

Jin Lian thought for a long time and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay!"

Hu Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Mingzu said: Horses and cattle, military supplies, iron goods, copper coins, satin horses, silk, silk floss and other goods are not allowed to enter the sea."

This is the ancestral precept set by Emperor Taizu Gao!

Anyway, let Daming tell you all the good words, and His Majesty can do it boldly, and the Ministry of Rites can clean up the ground at any time.

Yu Shiyue stood up and said: "The law of the Ming Dynasty says: Anyone who smuggles horses and cattle, military supplies, iron goods, copper coins and other goods to overseas sales and seas will be charged a hundred rods."

Yu Shiyue found legal support for His Majesty's decision.

"Then try it." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Don't give silver coins, but add more, right?Then give the money.

The censor Cai Yuji said worriedly: "Your Majesty, will the Wa Council embarrass our Ming merchants?"

Yang Shan asked back: "Do you think that if the Japanese envoys were treated leniently by the Ming Dynasty, they would not embarrass our merchants of the Ming Dynasty?"

Chapter 387 Afraid of authority but not of virtue

What Yang Shan said was not nonsense. Daming was tolerant enough to the guests from afar, but what did he get in exchange?

In the tenth year of Xuande, the root hall of Mt. Hiei in the Wa Kingdom was burned, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who were doing business in the Kingdom of Wa, but because the so-called merchants spread rumors, Ashikaga Yoshinaka killed several merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

The Muromachi shogunate of the Japanese country still imitated the banknotes established by the Ming Dynasty in Kyoto, and collected taxes from the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. Who in the court knows about these things except him, Honglu Temple?

Few people care.

Yang Shan said almost angrily: "The Japanese king and shogun Ashikaga Yoshinaka detained dozens of my Ming fishermen, merchant ships, and merchants for his own self-interest. Why?"

"Japanese pirates, barbarians and di ye, are fearful of prestige but not virtuous!"

"Why didn't they do this during the Yongle period?! Did they dare? Isn't it because Daming lost his navy!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the court were silent, and everyone knew about it.

Daming's lenient benevolence did not bring any good rewards. On the contrary, because of the decline of the Daming Navy, the merchants of Daming had no force to rely on, and instead were unable to do business.

This thing is psychedelic.Fei should also hold a similar view.

Zhengtong destroyed the Armada of the Daming official camp in three years, and it was the joint efforts of countless people.

They felt that the Emperor Ming was overwhelmed by the pressure on their heads.

During the Xuande period, it was Xia Yuanji who had always opposed maritime trade, but Emperor Zhu Zhanji of Xuande continued to travel south to the West.

After Emperor Xuande died of illness, Ming Yingzong succeeded Shaoguoyi, and Sanyang assisted the government. Finally, the opportunity to ban the sea was ushered in. Finally, all the official ships of Ming Dynasty were destroyed, and those treasure ships that they hated were gnashing their teeth.

The results of it?

After losing Daming's Armada, it became even more difficult to do business. During the Yongle and Xuande years, those very polite and respectful Fanren immediately began to turn their faces and deny anyone.

Why didn't you dare during the Yongle period?

Because of doing this during the Yongle period, the Emperor Ming would send a fleet to break into their palace, kill their guards, escort them to the capital, cut off their heads, and tell them how serious the consequences of doing this would be.

But during the orthodox years, the merchants of Ming Dynasty who lost the Armada were bullied everywhere like a chick that lost its mother.

Even so, there were still some people in the Ming Dynasty who were unwilling to restore the government-operated sea ships.

Because in comparison, the trade volume of the official fleet of the Ming Dynasty is too large, and their trade volume is taken up. How can they make money?

This kind of thing also happened during the Kangxi period.

Kangxi was worse than Emperor Longqing of the Ming Dynasty. At least during the Longqing period, he said that he would switch it on and off. No matter how much opposition there was, it was still switched on in Yuegang.

During the reign of Kangxi, Kangxi died several confidantes in succession, and finally nothing happened.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yang Shan's ferocious face, sat up straight and said, "That's why I sent those Japanese slaves who broke the law to Jiejie Yuan."

"Yi and Di, like beasts, are fearful of power but not virtuous."

Yang Shan said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Yang Shan still has many cases of being bullied, such as the Xuanwei Department in the old port of Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, where the second sister Shi, the Xuanwei envoy, was bullied by Manja Boyi and was eventually annexed.

There are a lot of these things. Da Ming lost the Armada, and lost too many things.

So Zhu Qiyu said that the Japanese envoys should be punished, and Yang Shan agreed. The current navy of the Ming Dynasty is slowly recovering. Although the construction of treasure ships has not yet started, it has already begun to manufacture warships on a large scale.

The three major cities of Mizhou, Ningbo, and Yuegang all have shipyards, and all of them build battleships, which are responsible for defending the Daming sea area.

From Mizhou to Jeju Island, then from Jeju Island to Tsushima Island, and from Tsushima Island to Japan, this route is also a military route. If there is any rebellious behavior in Japan, the army will attack it!

"If there is something to do, go to work and play early, and if there is nothing to do, roll the curtain and retreat." Xing'an said loudly.

"Your Majesty is waiting to see you off!" All the ministers bowed their heads.

Zhu Qiyu stayed in Fengtian Hall with Yuqian, Hu Wei, and Yang Shan, and discussed what happened just now.

He Zhu Qiyu was refreshed for a while, don't make it too difficult for the courtiers.

Yang Shan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third general of the Muromachi Shogunate, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty. In order to divide the Japanese kingdom, Emperor Taizong Wen canonized him as the king of Japan during the Yongle period."

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu first became a minister of state affairs and took control of the political power. Then he became a monk under the name of morality. Under his influence, a large group of public officials, samurai families, and royal families were forced to become monks to show respect."

"Originally, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was going to be called the emperor, so the emperor of Wa Kingdom is my vassal of Ming Dynasty."

"Unfortunately, before ascending to the pole, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died, and Emperor Taizongwen was given the posthumous title: Luyuanyuan Taishang Emperor."
