Ye Chunqiu has been more diligent in the palace these days.
Since it has been guessed that there may be a big operation overseas, then Jinyiwei's secret music has to be watched.
Although the brocade guards are bloated, they are not completely without merit, at least the ears and eyes they sprinkle all over the world are very useful Liu Jin, the eunuch of the palm seal of the expert factory, knew that Zhu Houzhao was interested in this, so he naturally did not dare to come nonsense, so he had already issued a secret order and began to collect news from all over the world Once this institution began to move, then on the southeast coast, even Liaodong and Korea, the fine work did not dare to wait, and countless news were sent to the palace like snowflakes No matter how big or small the news, which ones are useful and which ones are useless, but Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu need to personally investigate and sort out, after all, this matter can only be kept secret, and some potentially useful news may be useless in the eyes of others Today is a court meeting, Zhu Houzhao did not participate, but he and Ye Chunqiu hid in the warm pavilion and watched the secret music one by one In the southeast, the prices of porcelain and silk have dropped a little, and Zhu Houzhao will say far-fetchedly: "Sure enough, Spring and Autumn, you come, come quickly."
Ye Chunqiu stretched out his head, and saw Zhu Houzhao holding a report in his hand, saying that these days, the price of porcelain and silk has fallen, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be stunned by the efficiency of Jinyiwei, these people are really pervasive, but are these things useful Of course it works, but for no reason there are ups and downs, indicating that there is a problem with the needs of a certain part.
Ye Chunqiu said: "It should be that the smuggling of private ships has been suspended now, but it may not be the result of Wei Guogong's crackdown, it was also cracked down a few days ago, but I didn't see such a big drop, the only possibility is that all private ships have suspended the transportation of goods, or" Before Ye Chunqiu finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Or maybe they put down everything and are determined to assemble, like me, maybe they want to do a big one." ” Ye Chunqiu nodded cautiously this time: "The only possibility that can cause the price to plummet is a large backlog of goods, in this way, it can roughly calculate the transportation volume of their ships, of course, it can only be an approximate value, through the transportation volume of the ships, you can calculate the number and size of private ships, but these are only private ships, they may not have other strength."
Zhu Houzhao was shocked, and said with great interest: "Then let's calculate." ” Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty will count?"
"Uh" Zhu Houzhao was suddenly a little dumbfounded, half of his enthusiasm was extinguished at once, and finally looked at Ye Chunqiu, and said helplessly: "Then you will count." ” Ye Chunqiu roughly weighed it in his heart, and then asked Zhu Houzhao to take a pen and paper, and suddenly said, "What kind of ship is the private ship?"
"What" Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu puzzled.
Ye Chunqiu frowned and said: "Since it is a private ship, what kind of ship will it be in my estimation, maybe" He snorted for a moment before continuing: "Maybe these ships are related to Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean, maybe the materials of Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean were not burned by Liu Daxia at all, but were secretly kept by him, and then he took these materials to learn from overseas shipbuilding, thinking about it, the younger brother understood that Zheng He's ships had treasure ships, grain ships, horse ships, and boats, and the draft and carrying capacity were not the same, Your Majesty and so on. ” Ye Chunqiu unceremoniously grabbed the red pen on the imperial case, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write and draw on the paper.
Calculation is a headache, but according to these, it is very important to get accurate information, although Ye Chunqiu's final calculation results may be greatly deviated, but there must be an approximate number, through this, a lot of useful information can be obtained.
This kind of calculation, both to consider variables and increments, for example, they may not be just simple cargo ships, this sea is dangerous, there must be a large number of warships, since they colluded with the Japanese state, and in the Korean report, all the time, there are Japanese and even Ming private ships to attack their coast, the Korean state is not very disturbed, repeatedly written, of course, these letters to the imperial court generally ignored, to put it bluntly, there is no fleet.
The Koreans also knew that they would not pay attention, and the reason why they came to howl was not necessarily because they hoped that the imperial court could help them expel the Japanese invaders.
Therefore, the Koreans always exaggerate that they have been attacked by huge ships, and there are more than 100 large and small ships, four or five thousand thieves and private businessmen, and so on.
This is simply special nonsense, Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh when he saw this kind of music, North Korea is very poor, thousands of people went to rob you of a port, are you sure that people can survive However, there is also some information that can be roughly obtained from this, which is nothing more than to reduce and shrink the size of this group of pirates, and judge the size and size of the Japanese ships according to their frequency and the location of their attacks, as well as their combat methods, their organizational structure, and so on.
Ye Chunqiu took the pen to write and draw, the Arabic numerals on the paper, Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand it, but Ye Chunqiu didn't care if he could understand it, this kind of number, and some multiplication and division, Ye Chunqiu had already compiled a book and sent it to the research institute, which was the treasure of all researchers.
It took an hour, but there was still no result, after all, there were too many factors to consider, Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient, but he still obediently brought tea to Ye Chunqiu and put it in Ye Chunqiu's hand, Ye Chunqiu waved his hand, staring at the countless data on the paper, and said, "Father-in-law Liu, thank you." ” Zhu Houzhao couldn't help glaring at Ye Chunqiu, wanting to open his mouth to argue, but seeing that Ye Chunqiu's eyes were only on the data on the table, and finally he didn't say a word in frustration, he knew that Ye Chunqiu's mind had entered the realm of selflessness, so he simply sat aside, supported his head with his hands, and took a nap without a match.
I don't know how long it took, the Zhu pen was gently thrown into the sandalwood pen holder, Ye Chunqiu stretched his waist, and Zhu Houzhao on the side opened his eyes violently as if he had been pricked by a bee, stretched out his head to look at the data, but unfortunately he still couldn't understand it, so he looked at Ye Chunqiu and waited for Ye Chunqiu's explanation.
Ye Chunqiu put his finger on the case, and then said slowly: "There is some trouble, if the result here is not wrong, maybe we still underestimated these private businessmen before." ” Zhu Houzhao said anxiously: "What do you mean Spring and Autumn, you quickly explain to me, I'm in a hurry." ” aa2705221:
