What is a literati A literati is a literate person, a person who is knowledgeable and has a level much higher than the average person.
And what about the officials?
Officials are the best among these literati.
Even if something is impossible or difficult to explain, in their hands, these officials can cite the classics and find refuting reasons, and they can also convince you.
Therefore, Jiajing could only abolish the maritime ban.
As a result, Yang Ming, who had walked to Dali Temple, was recalled to the Jinluan Palace to discuss shipping matters.
Because of the entanglement of interests, the princes of the court soon discussed and decided to add a shipping department.
The full name was the Ming Overseas Trade and Transportation Management Department.
Although the name was not great, it had considerable power.
First of all, it is a newly established department, and because of the huge amount of transactions, it is established as a department.
The chief officer is Yang Ming, who is the doctor of the Shipping Department and of course also serves as the prefect of Huizhou.
With two kinds, there are three principals, namely Yang Shen and Liu Yi.
The last one is Zhang Wencai and Zhang Fatty, who rose to a high position as a scholar.
There was no way, Yang Ming strongly recommended him, and he had experience in handling related matters in various places.
Although he was not from a major, the title of the sixth grade would definitely make the old Zhang family shine.
In addition, the two brothers of the Zhang family were also brought over by Yang Ming, and they were able to count two hundred households, so they were considered to be eating from the public family.
After staying in the palace for three days, Yang Ming returned to Huizhou with eighteen large ships, but Jiajing did not take the money inside, nor did it enter the national treasury as funds for Yang Mingqi's team.
With money and an official position, things become more efficient.
Because Yang Ming had agreed when he was in the capital that he had eighty slips for selecting officials, so he became even more popular after he had mastered the appointment of minor officials.
As a result, Huizhou suddenly became more popular than ever before.
Gentlemen and officials from all over the country came to Huizhou to meet with Yang Ming after hearing about the establishment of the Maritime Department in Huizhou.
They all seemed to be making a fortune by taking advantage of this east wind, and of course they wanted to inquire about the news.
In less than three months, Huizhou Prefecture built a huge port, and the surrounding areas also began to prepare for the establishment of trading companies and shipbuilding workshops.
And Yang Shen, Liu Yi and Zhang Wencai are not idle either.
They need to travel to various places to purchase necessities that will be shipped by sea.
Almost at this time, the Japanese pirates in Fujian and Guangzhou were also wiped out by navies from various places, so businessmen from various countries also began to contact the Shipping Department.
On April 3, the second year of Jiajing, the preparations for the first shipment of the Shipping Department were completed. 70% of the Guangdong Naval Dispatch Station accompanied Zhang Wencai, the head of the Shipping Department, to visit various countries and convey business matters of the Ming Dynasty.
On the 18th day of the sixth lunar month in Jiajing, Zhang Wencai led a fleet of ships and returned home with a warehouse full of gold and silver, gems, pearls and countless other rare treasures.
This marked the beginning of the Age of Navigation.
In the same year, the number of handicraft workshops in various states in the Ming Dynasty increased exponentially.
In the same year, the commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty exceeded the agricultural tax by four times.
In the same year, the Ming Navy announced an expansion of 200,000 troops.
In October of the same year, Yang Ming, Marquis of Shu Guang, married his common wife Xia Yurou, and took in concubines Miaoyun, Miaoyin, and Li Xiaocui.
In just one year, the small countries surrounding the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty were all annexed.
In February of the third year of Jiajing's reign, the eldest son of the Li family of the Yang family was born, so he sent him to the capital Jiajing to give him the name Yang Hai and the title of Zhaowu school captain.
In November of the third year of Jiajing's reign, Princess Hongxiu of the Yang family's Zhu family gave birth to a son named Yang Yang.
Jiajing granted her the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan.
"Yang Ming, what do you think about the recent war?"
It was Liu Yi who spoke.
His hair is now more than half gray.
In the past two years, this Qingliu official who was born as a loyal minister finally found his own value and was happy and miserable all day long.
With.
Yang Ming walked around the study room, and finally thought for a long time before saying to Liu Yi, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea beside him: "It seems it's time for me to return to Beijing."
"What, you want to go back to Beijing?"
The teacup in Liu Yi's hand almost fell to the ground.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty has become a semi-industrial country. 70% of the goods produced by you are shipped from Huizhou Port, and wealth is continuously transported back from the outside.
It can be said that the value generated by Huizhou Prefecture is now much higher than other Anywhere.
"Well, I have to go back.
In the first half of the year, the Japanese army mobilized and fought in various places.
After they are finished, I estimate that there will not be many people left.
When the time comes, you can let General Tong Tietong lead his troops to directly kill the victors.
Then Just transport the people and officials of Ming Dynasty from various places.
It doesn't matter whether I am there or not.
What I want most now is We are going to Oara.
I think we should not just guard the country gate in the north.
Now that we have grenades, cannons, and muskets, I think it is time to get rid of it once and for all.
Moreover, I heard that the barbarians over there in Turpan are not honest, so I decided to go there and take care of them.
They solved it."
At this point, Yang Ming's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said lightly: "Eternal solution."
"You have to kill them all."
Liu Yi's hands began to tremble, and the tiles were not small, and most of the barbarians who lived in the black mountains and bad waters were very good at fighting.
Although he thought that Yang Ming would have no problem defeating Wala, it would be difficult to kill them all.
The most important thing was that there were hundreds of thousands of people in Wala.
If they were all killed, Yang Ming would certainly have merit, but the reputation of a god of death would make him He was despised by future generations.
"Well, kill them all and leave no one behind."
Yang Ming explained: "I still say the same old saying, our ancestors were eradicated because of their kindness.
Every time after defeating those alien races, we would let them continue to thrive with the compassion of the upper body and heavenly heart, but When they survive, we, the Han people, will experience tragedies again and again, so I would rather be this villain."
"But don't we already have a reform-through-labour policy?"
Liu Yi also wanted to persuade Yang Ming.
If Yang Ming killed all the Wala people, the best outcome for Yang Ming would be to return to Shu to retire.
He was not willing to do such a thing.
Seen.
After all, such a thing is too big and inconsistent with the ideals of Neo-Confucianism.
"The Ming Dynasty doesn't need any more slaves."
After saying this, Yang Ming left the study, leaving Liu Yi in a daze.
Immediately Yang Ming went to Beijing to ask for a fight.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had actually sharpened their swords for a long time.
It's just that the generals who will go on the expedition have not been decided yet.
After the cabinet deliberations, under pressure from the Coal Group Memory Business Association, Yang Ming was agreed to go on the expedition.
In March of the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, Yang Ming led 200,000 troops to fight against Wala.
In just one battle, Wala's 100,000-strong army was wiped out.
On March 18 of the same year, Yang Ming issued a reward order in the Western Regions.
One piece of human head was exchanged for 10 taels of silver.
Those who killed ten people were rewarded with 100 acres of fertile land in Japan.
For a time, the whole north was in commotion, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and the court was shocked.
No one doubted Yang Ming's ability to pay the reward, and no one doubted Yang Ming's determination.
However, the imperial court was speechless about the issue of Yang Ming's return to the court.
Countless heroes and rogues are marching towards the north.
Then, the real massacre began.
Throughout the north, from officers and soldiers to common people, countless people rushed to the Wala people for money and the one hundred acres of land in the Japanese country.

Even those Wala people who are hiding in various places will be caught and beheaded by those who have already been dazzled by the benefits.
March in the Western Regions Shocked the Ming Dynasty, shocked all countries As a result, more countries once again launched a wave of internal attachments.
April Yang Ming conquered Turpan and was completely destroyed in three days.
Yang Ming once again issued a reward in his own name The northern expedition lasted less than three months, including the rush, the annihilation of Oara, and the annihilation of the Turpan tribe.
I thought I would be deprived of my official position and return to Shuzhong to farm.
However, what Yang Ming never expected was that the court's decision once again exceeded his expectations.
Although Yang Ming killed more people during the Northern Expedition, some people believed that Yang Ming had made an immortal contribution.
The most important thing is that Yang Ming's so-called benevolence theory has already had a market, and almost all civil servants have I feel that it is right to treat the people of Ming Dynasty kindly, but if you continue to treat those foreigners, you will be massacring your own compatriots.
Therefore, the answer Yang Ming received after returning to the capital was to continue returning to Huizhou as a doctor in the shipping department.
However, because of this massacre, Yang Ming had no hope of joining the cabinet.
It's just that Yang Ming is a restless master.
As soon as he returned to Huizhou Prefecture, Yang Ming persuaded the Guangdong Navy to use Ryukyu as a supply point to move closer to the west.
Because in June, Yang Ming's old friend Zhao Changsheng, the Southwest Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect, brought him a letter.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Navy, Yang Wanli did not have the courage.
After discussing with Yang Ming for three days and three nights, he finally did not send troops.
However, within the next half month, countless retired sailors spontaneously prepared to build 80 sea-going ships, and together with countless brave men of the Ming Dynasty, they went to sea in a mighty manner.
As a result, a group of pirate organizations called Dragon God Warriors appeared on the waters leading to Europe from the Ming Dynasty.
These Dragon God warriors have yellow skin and dark eyes, and they specialize in looting property wherever they go.
As time slowly flew by, finally in the eighth year of Jiajing, Jiajing's first son was born, named Hongguang, and was granted the title of King of Qin.
In the fifteenth year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing's second son was born, named Hongdao, and granted the title of King of Han At the same time, Yang Ming was promoted to the governor of the South China Sea, taking charge of all matters in the South China Sea.
The town of Nangong was sealed.
His eldest son Yang Hai was sent back to the South China Sea to assist Yang Ming in handling related affairs.
Because now, the Ming Dynasty's territory has almost doubled without any sound.
The so-called South China Sea actually includes various small countries and sea areas in the South China Sea, and Yang Ming's fiefdom is Ryukyu Island.
In the 23rd year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing canonized Zhu Hongguang as the prince and sent him to the South China Sea to study maritime affairs with Yang Ming.
At this time, Yang Ming was already over fifty.
In these years, Daming's science and technology, culture, industry, agriculture, and animal husbandry have all achieved unprecedented development.
In particular, industry has occupied a considerable proportion.
With the continuous development of science and technology, and with the dedicated support of the Coal Group It is developing rapidly.
Electricity and electric lights have appeared, and agriculture has also begun to undergo mechanized operations.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing was critically ill, and Xuan Yangming went to Beijing to meet the saint.
"Yang Ming" Jiajing was lying on the hospital bed.
When he saw the tired Yang Ming approaching, his eyes gradually gained color.
"Your Majesty, I'm here."
Yang Ming knelt in front of Jiajing's bed.
Jiajing didn't want to lie on the bed, and then slowly sat up under Huang Jin's care.
Then he let Yang Ming lie down and said, "It seems that I won't be able to survive this time.
Do you know why I want you to come to Beijing?"
Jiajing's face was very pale, but now he may have regained his luster and turned a little rosy.
"I know you want me to protect the crown prince's accession to the throne," Yang Ming said word by word while looking at Jiajing on the bed.
"Well, that's what I mean.
I guess it's only been the past few days."
Jiajing spoke very slowly and intermittently.
After a while, he said: "Actually, since the first time I saw you at the inn, I felt that you were a very important person in my life.
Important person, as expected, I was right.

Did you already have the intention to quit when you were slaying Wala?
If not for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty interceding for you, would you have planned to retire in Shu?"
"I'm actually not like being an official.
I wasn't afraid of your jokes when I was studying.
I just wanted to eat meat."
Yang Ming smiled helplessly and explained the reason why he became an official in the first place.
He couldn't help it, Jiajing was also laughing: "It's so simple just to eat meat."
Jiajing laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath.
After resting for a while, he suddenly turned away everyone except Yang Ming with a straight face, including Huang Jin.
Jiajing asked: "We are not outsiders.
You are Hongxiu's consort and my brother-in-law.
In fact, it is really thanks to you that I have been able to rule for twenty-five years over the years.
You are now considered a high-ranking official guarding our side.
I I plan to give Hainan to you and let you help me guard the south gate."
"You know I won't agree."
Yang Ming's face became casual, and he looked at Jiajing and said, "You don't need to test me.
In fact, you know very well in your heart that if I really wanted to rebel, I would not come to the capital.
The reason why I came to the capital to tell you a secret so that you can leave with peace of mind."
Hearing Yang Ming say "Mimi", Jiajing suddenly became energetic again.
He looked at Yang Ming with two eyes and uttered two words: "You say" "Actually, I come from hundreds of years later.
Do you believe it?"
Yang Ming looked at Jiajing with a smile and said, "The reason why I hate foreigners so much is because those people deserve to be killed, and it's not just the Japanese and Jurchen people, but also those from the Japanese and Jurchen countries.
Some other countries, why do you think I have trained so many people to go to the West for so many years?
In fact, it was for this purpose that I deceived Zhao Changsheng into going to Europe to harm the natives.
There is only one reason why I am willing to be your minister, and that is that I do not want the Miao descendants of the Han family to be here.
Decades later, he was killed by those barbarians and his blood flowed like a river, and he was forcefully forced into servility."
"You" Jiajing was startled and murmured: "You are truly a god."
"no" No one knows what the two talked about in the palace, but the second time Yang Ming accepted the defense of the capital, the Forbidden Army, and the Firearms Camp On May 13th of the same year, Jiajing died, and Prince Zhu Hongguang ascended the throne.
The country was named Shunqing.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty entered a great era.
