Zhu Youxiao looked at these ministers of his cronies, and just wanted to despise them fiercely.Because he has to admit that none of these guys are good in nature!
On the surface, it seems that only he is the emperor's order.It seems that the emperor himself is fragrant when he farts.But in fact, they all want the emperor to sing black faces, carry black pots, and lose the reputation of a tyrannical king, and they follow their tyrant to get rich while saying that they can't do anything, they are just acting on orders.Zhu Youxiao can only accept this.After all, who made him emperor?
The role of the emperor is to take the blame.The country is prosperous because the emperor is good.The country died only because the emperor was not good.Just like in history, when the Ming Dynasty fell, Chongzhen had to take the blame, even if he wanted to escape from this pot by hanging himself, he was still detained by later generations.As a result, a high-ranking civil official like Xie Sheng, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, hurriedly threw the pot of the collapse of the world to Chongzhen as soon as he surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, saying that he had caused the death of Jiangshan Sheji because he became a single husband.Chongzhen naturally has to bear a lot of responsibility, after all, he is the emperor.But fundamentally, the defeat of Sheji was not caused by the emperor alone, otherwise, if the fall of the Ming Dynasty was really only the personal reason of the emperor Chongzhen, then after Chongzhen hanged himself in history, the Southern Ming Dynasty should not have fallen so quickly.The conversation turned back.Anyway, Zhu Youxiao knew that since he had achieved the position of emperor and become the helmsman of the big ship of the Ming Empire, he must be ready to take the blame at any time.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao then added: "According to Chen Xinzhi's proposal, it seems that if the coastal defense risk system is really established, it will not drag down the imperial court, but will help the imperial court increase its income.
In addition, every year, the imperial court uses this money to bring profits, whether it is sending sailors out to fight pirates and regain property, or the imperial court uses this money to organize caravans to trade and make profits, all according to the profits brought back in the imperial court, all according to the amount of insurance paid, I as the emperor, pay 100,000 silver coins directly from the treasury to the insurance bureau every year, I also participate in the insurance!
”And Fang Congzhe, Bi Ziyan and the others became even more excited after hearing this.Chen Ce and other generals were also a little helpless.Where is this to pay coastal defense insurance to buy peace, this is simply, pay money into shares, fortunately, in the future, the imperial court will send troops out to plunder a lot of wealth and come back, participate in dividends, this is an opportunity to make a fortune!
Therefore, these ministers looked at Zhu Youxiao with burning eyes like cats that smelled fish.Fang Congzhe couldn't help but say at this time: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the minister, this insurance policy is conducive to the restoration of the family business of the people, which is the favor of the country, but this favor can not only benefit the people of the south, but also the people of the north should have an insurance, after all, the people of the north are often harmed by foreign captives, especially the people of the nine borders, the cruelty of the Tatars is not inferior to that of the Haikou, so the minister believes that when the border insurance is also set up in the north, the minister believes that the northern gentry are also willing to pay this insurance, and the money paid can also be taken by the court to make profits, and feed back to the people." ”"Exactly!
Aiqing and the Ministry of Household Affairs drew up detailed rules to immediately call on the people of the world to pay coastal defense and border defense insurance, and the payment of insurance money is not the payment of taxes, and there is no need to call for payment in the West Factory, all by voluntary registration!
In addition, there is another thing, although it has been agreed to use coastal defense to solve the problem of coastal defense in view of the coastal raiding by Haikou and Koukou, it cannot be said that we do not really pay attention to coastal defense, and it is proposed to establish the post of economic strategy of the five southeastern provinces, abolish the economic strategy of the five southwestern provinces, and put Zhu Xieyuan in charge, so that they can prepare for the defense of the Japanese!
”Zhu Youxiao immediately replied at this time.He naturally didn't mind that the northern gentry were also involved in the colonial plunder, after all, the Ming Dynasty was not only half of the country.And letting Zhu Xieyuan serve as the governor of the five southeastern provinces was something he had already thought about.In Zhu Youxiao's view, the main people who can command the troops in the Ming Dynasty now are Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, plus one Zhu Xieyuan.In this, Zhu Xieyuan is a native of Suzhou, and Xu Guangqi's grandmother is the same clan, and therefore, the Zhu family behind it is also involved in the official textile industry, so Zhu Xieyuan did not stand on the opposite side of Zhu Youxiao because of Zhu Youxiao's new policy reform that infringed on the interests of the gentry, and now Zhu Youxiao asked him to be transferred to the five southeastern provinces, as a southern gentry, he naturally knows how to mobilize the coastal gentry to defend against the sea bandits, and is more motivated to do this, after all, his family interests are the same as the Xu family, and they are all related to maritime trade.
And it is also tied to the official trade."
Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied, and his heart was full of joy.Chen Ce couldn't help but touch his nose because of this, secretly thinking that this Shoufu was a northerner, and even this kind of good thing, which was originally only related to southerners, actually pulled the northerners in.Chen Xin couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Old guy, even if there is a side trouble, what are you afraid of in Beijing!"
If you want to get a piece of the pie, just say it!
”......
"Guangzhou Prefecture, Dongguan County, Guancheng Chen Jia's coastal defense insurance principal of 50,000 silver dollars!"
”On the first day of the establishment of the Insurance Bureau in the capital, Chen Ce, the former military governor's right governor, asked his family to carry 50,000 yuan of silver coins here and pay the insurance money.Not only that, but Zhu Youxiang, the king of Pingdo, also took 10,000 yuan of silver coins: "This Langzhong, this king is Zhu Youxiang, the king of Pingdo, and this king also pays 10,000 silver dollars as the insurance principal, and please log in." ”The insurance bureau's Tobe Langzhong couldn't help but ask, "No, Your Highness, you are also worried that your family business will be taken away by pirates or Tatars?"
”"Isn't it, the domain that Your Majesty gave to this king is in Hirado, and I heard that overseas, if it is stolen by the pirates, it will naturally be the loss of this king, and this king will naturally have to pay a guarantee to keep this king's domain."
Zhu Youxiang replied."
And me, Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Palace, pay the guarantee of five hundred yuan of silver!"
And at this time, another great disciple of the Ming Sect, that is, Zhu Yujian, walked in.When Zhu Youxiang saw him, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Are you from Tang Wangfu?"
”"Yes, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Hirado", Zhu Yujian also bowed his hand."
If it weren't for His Majesty's decree to let all the vassal kings and adult descendants enter Beijing, this king wouldn't have had a chance to see you people, let's go, let's go and drink together, how about it?
This king is in for a treat!
”Zhu Youxiang took the initiative to suggest as he spoke."
His Royal Highness is gracious, and the younger generation does not dare to push back."
Zhu Yujian hurriedly replied."
Then let's go, when did you enter Beijing?
The clansmen should have arrived, right?
”"It's almost there."…… After Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to let the vassal kings and adult descendants enter Beijing, now, these vassal kings have indeed entered Beijing.Because of this, Zhu Youxiao began to carry out the reform of the clan.On this day, after Zhu Youxiao had agreed on military training and coastal defense, he specially summoned the vassal clans who had been summoned to Beijing to Damingyuan to summon them.In addition, Zhu Youxiao also asked Zhu Youzhen to accompany him.Zhu Youxiao has decreed that Zhu Youzhen will be the king of letters, but he has not yet become a vassal and still remains in the palace to be taught by him personally.And now Zhu Youxiao asked Zhu Youzhen to accompany him to meet the feudal clans who entered Beijing, because he planned to let Zhu Youzhen, the feudal king closest to him, participate in the affairs of the clan in the future.Today's Zhu Youzhen is 14 years old, but he can also participate in certain affairs.As soon as he saw these clans, Zhu Youxiao said straight to the point: "You already know the purpose of my summoning you to Beijing, and I won't say much, just let you see the statistics of the lawless affairs of the vassal kings in the past 30 years summarized by my imperial brother Zhu Youzhen, and you will know that why I want to discuss the reform of the clan is not that I want to change it, but for the sake of our Zhu family's society, and it has come time to have to change." ”As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he ordered: "By the inspection, read out the illegal vassal kings you counted in advance and listen to them all." ”"Yes!"
Zhu Youzhen immediately replied.
