Chapter 685 Sincerity: "Let's move!"
”Quan Xu looked at Zhu Weiyuan and said, "Move to the Wuwei Hou Mansion!"
”"Why?"
Zhu Weiyuan said a little nervously: "Why do you want to move back?"
After entering the capital, we are like entering a cage ......"
Without waiting for Zhu Weiyuan to finish speaking, Quan Xu explained lightly: "There are three reasons, first, I want to use my own actions to tell them that I have the sincerity of peace talks!"
”Entering the capital, the first thing is security.Of course, this problem is not a problem at all for Quan Xu.The main entrance of the Wuwei Hou Mansion is about 68 steps long and about 8 steps wide, and the eight courtyards and 24 small courtyards are separated from each other from south to north, and the blue brick thick walls that are nearly three zhang high surround the entire mansion into a castle-like building complex.In addition to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, left and right, more than 20 courtyards of blue bricks and gray tiles are stacked on top of each other, row upon row, these houses belong to each family in name, in fact, the people stationed here are all Quan Xu's people, and they are also his secret guards.When he first entered Beijing, he was worried, and sent officers and soldiers to block the three front and back doors of the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and he could not escape.After four years of operation, there are four secret passages in the Wuwei Hou Mansion, which can appear from the underground near the city gate, which means that even if the imperial court wants to play black for Quan Xu, it can only be imagined.Quan Xu's Wuwei Hou Mansion is not something that anyone can break in if they want to, even if they have a weapon like artillery, they can only compete for one courtyard after another.Even if they fought for countless casualties and took the mansion, Quan Xu could already leave the Wuwei Hou Mansion through the secret passages, in fact, even Zhu Weiyuan only knew the three secret passages in the mansion, and only Quan Xu alone knew all the secret passages and mechanisms.Quan Xu used this way to show his sincerity to the joint talks, and he also wanted to give Chongzhen another chance, and in the end, Quan Xu really didn't want to clean up the mess at this time.In front of the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent, Quan Xu is still in Liaodong University, and the newly trained students are not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of governing the world, and the result of his forcible pulling out of seedlings is to destroy those seedlings, such as Li Xin in Luzon, there was a problem some time ago.The port of Toyosu in Luzon, like the port of Shengzhou, became a trading area, and within the living quarters, Xie Lin, a Chinese living in Nanyang, who is now a councillor in Toyosu City and the owner of a trading company.Xie Lin organized a Western-style banquet, which was originally intended to curry favor with those Westerners.In order to entertain and curry favor with these Westerners, Xie Lin hired more than a dozen Japanese and Korean women to come over as attendants, these Westerners were all pirates, and at the beginning of the banquet, they put on a lively performance.As a result, the Westerners who played to the scene found that these maids were too few and not enough, so they stared at Xie Lin's wife and daughter.When this kind of thing happened, Xie Lin was naturally anxious, fortunately, he was still a little bloody, and he fought with Westerners with guns, and the Westerners were outnumbered, and Xie Lin was outnumbered, not only was the villa in the Fengzhou port living area burned down, but the wife and daughter at home were also ruined......
It is said that this is self-inflicted, and even if it is handled impartially, it will not be made public, and the news will be held down to avoid excessive impact.As a result, Li Xin held a public trial meeting in Toyozhou, and when the case was decided, someone led the rhythm, which triggered the Toyozhou incident.You must know that the people of Fengzhou have guys in their hands, and the proportion of muskets is very high, even if the Westerners' musket team is pulled out, the militia will not scare them.At that time, more than 1,300 people were killed, more than 6,000 people were injured, 21 Western cargo ships in the port of Fengzhou were burned, including three 10,000-stone cargo ships were also affected, and the entire port was full of chicken feathers, and the economic loss alone was as high as 1.5 million taels of silver.Li Xin's shortcomings in governing ability were vividly displayed, and to say that the mistake made by Li Xin was only mismanagement, and it was not a big deal, after all, the Westerners could not defeat the Luzon side, and the Luzon side was not afraid that the Westerners would cause a new war, and this matter was finally over.But Zhou Junze of Qiongzhou Mansion made a big problem, he was dragged into the water by his brother-in-law and became a big corrupt official, embezzling more than 200,000 taels of silver in less than two years.Although Zhou Hongru is one of Quan Xu's veteran team, but Quan Xu is also going to tear up the horse, once this opening is opened, what will the whole family army do to govern the world?
Zhou Junze's problem is that he lacks practical experience in governing and is not resolute enough, and because his mother Zhou Hongru is Quan Xu's account office, he can directly meet Quan Xu or Zhu Weiyuan every month, according to the words of the imperial court, this belongs to the close ministers of the Son of Heaven.Even if Zhou Jun has a problem, the person in charge of supervision does not dare to take care of it.If it weren't for Huang Gang reporting to the Soldiers' Committee, I'm afraid Quan Xu wouldn't know about Zhou Junze's problem.Of course, this is also a wake-up call to Quan Xu, Li Xin's problem is not big, but Zhou Junze's problem also makes Quan Xu worried, although Zhou Junze was not directly shot, but he must be tried publicly, he is currently the only prefecture-level senior official in the upper Liaodong system.It is no exaggeration to say that the government of the Liaodong system is equivalent to the province of later generations, and Quanxu has occupied the entire territory of the four eastern provinces, more than half of Mongolia, as long as the Sixth Division works hard, the Sixth Division is no longer an enclave, and can directly border Liaodong.For the time being, Quan Xu still wants to hold on, not because of insufficient military strength, but because of insufficient internal strength.Quan Xuman had only been in business for more than eight years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it would take at least a generation's effort, that is, 20 years, to complete his control of the country.Zhu Weiyuan saw Quan Xu's resolute attitude and did not persuade again: "Donkey, think about how to tell Lord Shen!"
”At this time, the Liaodong system had lost trust in the imperial court.It's a pity that Shen Mingze is very supportive of Quan Xu's decision: "It's okay to go to the capital to live!"
”In Shen Mingze's heart, now that Quan Xu has made a sword to Da Mingming, at this time, it is not good to hide his head and show his tail, he really dares to enter the capital, so who dares to deal with him?
What makes the court desperate is that it has been more than a month since the whole family army appeared outside the Dongzhi Gate, more than six years ago, Jiannu also hit the capital, at that time, the military department Shangshu Wang Qia issued the edict of King Qin, far away in Zhejiang, Shaanxi, including Sichuan soldiers and horses all coincidentally went to the capital King Qin.But right now, let alone moving, the Changping army that was close at hand did not move, and the Zunhua army did not move, including the soldiers and horses of Yitongzhou, as if they didn't know what was going on, they all sat on the wall and watched.This in itself illustrates a serious problem.These Wenchen bullied the Wuchen miserably, and the Wuren were eager to change the court and change someone to govern, they are bad enough now, how bad can they be?
This is the incomparable disappointment of the Daming Wenchen group, and they are also resisting.The news that Quan Xu was about to enter the capital to recuperate quickly was sent to Wen Tiren in the form of an official document.Wen Tiren looked at this official document and didn't say anything for a long time."
How dare he ......"
"Why doesn't he dare?"
Wen Tiren looked at the cabinet ministers: "Which of you dares to do it?"
”Without waiting for the cabinet's restoration, Quanxu's personal guard regiment and guard regiment, nearly 2,000 soldiers of the two regiments began to enter the capital from Dongzhimen.Jeon Wook sat in the carriage and looked at the streets of the capital.Now the whole city is dilapidated and desolate, many houses still retain traces of being burned by fire, the streets are full of garbage, and occasionally you can see people shuttling large bags and small bags through the deserted streets, which is unique to abandoned cities.Since Dongzhimen became the camp of the whole family army, a large number of people left the capital every day, either to live in the county seat of Gyeonggi or to join relatives and friends.Zhu Weiyuan looked at the desolate and uninhabited capital, and sighed with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that this is actually the capital!"
”"Come back, you're in this position, watch out for the Dark Arrow!""
You don't have to worry about me.I'm not helpless!
”All the way to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, and there is no army, the whole capital seems to be empty, they can only hear the sound of the whole family army soldiers walking, not a single street shop is open, no one is walking on the street.This made Quan Xu a little emotional: "I don't even pay attention to it!"
”"Welcome back home!"
Niu Jinxing stood at the door with dozens of servants, lining up to greet Quan Xu, Zhu Weiyuan, and Sanniang.The moment the door of the Wuwei Hou's Mansion was reborn and closed, the entire dead and silent city seemed to come to life again, and the sound of adults screaming and children crying began to appear.There were also some people who began to come out to forage for food, and when they returned to their former rooms, Sanniang's suppressed emotions began to explode, and it was the first time that Quan Xu felt Sanniang's fierce feelings.That kind, like a hungry beast, wanted to eat Jeon Wook, Quan Wook cooperated a little, and then lay on the bed......
After more than an hour, Sanniang calmed down.Quan Xu hugged Sanniang and went to take a bath together.At this time, Zhu Weiyuan instructed his subordinates to prepare a table of rich dishes.Quan Xu was a little embarrassed, like a child stealing candy, and some didn't dare to look at Zhu Weiyuan's eyes.It's just that Zhu Weiyuan, as usual, warmly greeted Quan Xu for dinner.It's just that Quan Xu seemed to remember something: "Add a pair of dishes and chopsticks!"
”"Why?
Did Xiang Gong invite any other guests?
”Quan Xu said lightly: "Wait a little longer, the distinguished guest will come to the door!"
”At this moment, Li Yanqing's voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, Your Majesty asks to see you!"
”"Let him in!"
It is said that in normal times, Quan Xu must go out to greet Emperor Chongzhen.At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was just a white dragon fish suit, with only Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun by his side, and he was wearing the black robe that Zhu Weiyuan gave to Chongzhen when he was in Liaodong.It seems that Chongzhen is still quite smart, and he is ready to play the emotional card."
The minister greets His Majesty......"
Without waiting for Quan Xu to give a salute, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand: "There is no emperor today, and there is no minister, it's just that the eldest brother sees his sister-in-law, and the family eats a light meal together!"
”Zhu Weiyuan gave Sanniang a look, and the two retreated.Ruoda's Wuwei Houfu Restaurant, at this time, only Emperor Chongzhen and Quan Xu were left.Chongzhen sat down with a big release, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes, and began to gobble up, as if he had been hungry for three days, eating very fiercely.Whew, swoop, there was only the sound of Emperor Chongzhen eating and drinking in the whole restaurant.After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen put down his chopsticks very skillfully, took the spoon, and began to stir the coffee in the coffee cup: "What do you want?"
”Quan Xu smiled: "Your Majesty......"
"Don't, call me big brother today!"
”Chongzhen's fierce eyes stared at Quan Xu: "I'm asking you, what do you really want?"
”"Last year's Toyoshu, there was a thing!"
Jeon Wook got up, picked up a map, pointed to the map of Toyosu and said: "This is Toyosu, on this port, 8,000 to 10,000 natives work here every day, and one day, they held a strike to demand reduced working hours, increased salaries and paid holidays, and at the same time improve the working and living conditions of dock workers." ”Chongzhen was stunned.I asked what you wanted, what dock did you pull for me, what indigenous workers?
Quan Xu said very seriously: "These indigenous workers require four hours, four days off per month, no less than two months of paid vacation per year, and also ask for a single dormitory and free working meals, oh, the most important thing is the salary, they ask for at least five taels of silver per month, just like the workers of Daming!"
”The current minimum wage for Luzon workers is indeed five taels of silver, but the value they create is much higher than five taels of silver, but the porters at the wharf are only low-value-added jobs, how can it be raised to five taels of silver a month?
It takes a year or more for a factory to train a skilled worker, and there is a healthy competition among peers, and if you don't raise wages, workers will move to other factories and get higher wages.But the porters at the dock have learned the art of strike, and there is no need to ask if someone behind them must be guiding and creating contradictions.Li Xin's method of handling the situation was quite simple and crude, directly dismissing all the nearly 10,000 workers and using sea ships to transport them back to their hometowns.The workers were carried away by a dozen dilapidated and broken ships, encountered wind and waves at sea, and all of them were missing......
Chongzhen asked, "What do you want to say?"
”"You only have a salary that matches your strength, don't be whimsical!"
Chongzhen seemed to understand what Jeon Wook meant.The Ming court is now like the so-called porter of Fengzhou Port in Quan Xu's mouth, and he used this way to show his demands."
Liaodong can keep the status quo unchanged!"
Chongzhen looked at Quan Xu and continued: "When you and the eighth sister's child is born, I will decree that he will be named the prince of Yingguo, and the hereditary replacement ......"

Quan Xu smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I can also ignore Liaodong, are you sure that Daming can hold it?"
”Chongzhen sighed: "What is the face of the imperial court?
”"There must be face!"
Quan Xu looked at Chongzhen and said: "First, Liaodong, Liaoxi, outside the mouth, are not self-reliant, maintain the status quo!"
