Number of romantic figures

Chapter 518 The T-shaped scroll is deep in it, mixed joy and sorrow

Emperor Yonglong was in a complicated mood, Feng Ziying's frankness satisfied him, but Feng Ziying wanted to marry Lin Ruhai's daughter, which made him a little shy.

He didn't believe that Feng Ziying didn't know who Lin Ruhai was, even if Lin Ruhai died of a serious illness soon.

However, he had to admit that if Feng Ziying came forward to lobby the salt merchants in the name of Lin Ruhai's prospective son-in-law, the salt merchants would definitely give them some face.

The transfer of salt made the Si Yamen's deterrence to the salt merchants no better than normal, and over the years, the nasty things between the salt merchants and the salt lords, as well as the complicated relationship with his father who went to the south of the Yangtze River six times. There are no secrets in the Transshipment Salt Envoy.

These relationships are not only their umbrella, but they may also become their guillotine. Salt merchants should also be aware of this, and even feel uneasy.

If Feng Ziying can go to Yangzhou with a special identity, then this identity accepted by all parties may really play an unexpected role.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonglong felt that Feng Ziying's whimsical idea was really subtle, but...

Seeing Emperor Yonglong's eyebrows stretching and retracting, he was obviously thinking about something, Feng Ziying couldn't figure it out for a while, but he felt that his hint should be obvious, and Emperor Yonglong should understand.

But understanding is one thing, how to cut into the reconciliation, so that all parties can accept it logically, this is the test of people's ability.

"Your Majesty, the wealthy salt merchants used to be able to donate to the Supreme Emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River. I think they are still somewhat loyal. If they can explain the truth to him, I believe they should support them. What's more, this is a shareholding, and dividends can be paid in the future." , I even intend to pre-set a rule, such as ten years after the shareholding, the shares can be transferred, so as to appease their hearts,..."

Feng Ziying's words made Emperor Yonglong laugh, "Feng Qing, how can these salt merchants feel at ease because of your illusory ten-year agreement? How about this, I also use the silver from the internal treasury to invest in shares, but I am very poor. I can't help salt merchants like them, so I can only think about it..."

Feng Ziying was overjoyed, what he was waiting for was Emperor Yonglong's words, but then he realized that Emperor Yonglong didn't mention anyone else. Was my reminder and hint that the other party didn't understand, or was he pretending not to understand?Or the other party didn't intend to let these people enter the game?

This made him a little uncertain.

In Feng Ziying's view, since Emperor Yonglong was so tolerant to the Supreme Emperor and the martial arts, he naturally felt that a little intolerance would lead to chaos and big plans. Then such a way that can bind interests should be the best way to deal with it. A rigid relationship can also win over these warriors, so why not do it?
But it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined. Since Emperor Yonglong didn't mention it, Feng Ziying needs to think about it.

Feng Ziying couldn't figure it out for a while whether he felt that the possibility of this Yinzhuang losing money was too great, that pulling other people into the game might cheat the other party and deteriorate the relationship, or for some other reason, but he couldn't ask.

"Feng Qing, in addition to the shipbuilding industry, Cui Jingrong mentioned in the memorial that this Yinzhuang should also be able to support the Linqing tribute bricks, the silk industry in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinling, as well as the tea in Fujian and Zhejiang, and Jiangxi and Fujian. China's porcelain industry, what does this mean?"

Emperor Yonglong's question obviously didn't understand much about this, and Feng Ziying patiently explained to him that the opening of sea trade may bring about an increase in demand for these goods, such as Linqing tribute bricks, which are needed by the huge domestic market. This kind of support and development will not only enable Yinzhuang to have a relatively stable profit channel within two or three years, but also ease the financial pressure that the shipbuilding industry may face in lending, and give hope to Yinzhuang shareholders.

"Your Majesty should know the truth that those who have permanent property have perseverance. The meaning of 'property' should not be limited to property or industry. It should be any channel that can provide a stable source of life for their livelihood. As long as they can have a bowl of food, I won't think about doing some criminal things, and I won't have the idea of ​​taking risks,..."

For the king, there are internal and external troubles, and the number one internal worry is naturally the rebellion of the people. If this problem is solved, the dynasty will be able to enjoy long-term stability in many cases.

And Feng Ziying made it clear that as long as the government can guarantee the path of giving the common people a bowl of food, no matter whether it is through work for relief, renting land for recruitment, or serving as a servant, if they can afford to eat and wear, they will Few people are willing to take the road of confronting the government. Those who are born with the desire to rebel and become princes and generals are hard to find.

Emperor Yonglong also agreed with this truth.

Before he inherited Dabao, he was more of an ordinary prince and knew a lot about civil affairs, so he praised Feng Ziying's many ways that fit the folk atmosphere.

These industries introduced by Feng Ziying, especially the Linqing tribute brick industry, can largely relieve the pressure of refugees from southern Shandong. Even if they can absorb 1 million, it will be a relief for Shandong. Tea, silk weaving, and porcelain production are typical industries that require a large number of people. As long as every 1 people are recruited, it is almost equivalent to [-] families can have a stable livelihood. Said, is also a big help.

And if these industries have stable sea trade channels for export, what is lacking is money investment to expand the scale and new establishments, then Yinzhuang can play a stable role.

Feng Ziying discussed this issue with Emperor Yonglong for a long time, and it didn't end until Chuanshan.

Dining with the emperor is really not something to look forward to. Ever since she experienced it once, Feng Ziying has given up hope.

The food is always warm, but it lacks the freshness. It is probably due to various tests and preparations in the imperial dining room, and then when it is delivered, there are various ways to keep warm in this winter, but it is not allowed to leave the eyes of the servants. It's really boring to send it up step by step.

Moreover, Emperor Yonglong is not the kind of person who likes to talk and talk. At his age, it is estimated that what he desires most is to make his name leave a strong mark in the history of the Great Zhou and even in the history books. This is his biggest target.

That's why he was so enthusiastic about entering Shazhou and Hami, even if he paid some fame and price for it.

On the way home, Feng Ziying's thoughts were very confused.

He had expected today's court meeting, but he was a little caught off guard by making such a big topic all of a sudden.

However, it is estimated that this unprepared sense of confusion is not only for me, but also for many people, including the cabinet and the six princes, um, including Emperor Yonglong, otherwise he would not be eager to keep himself.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that it has finally been picked up, there is no need to cover it up, everything is revealed, then the pressure is released, and everyone from all parties can bear it and think about it, and you don't need to worry about it all day by yourself.

The bad thing is that you are getting deeper and deeper.

From the bottom of my heart, Feng Ziying prefers to hide in the Imperial Academy and compile a series of "Internal Reference" and write signed comments or anonymous articles. I either enter the Sixth Ministry or the Metropolitan Procuratorate to polish and exercise, or go directly to the local government, and there is a great possibility of directly getting a fifth-rank official. Of course, staying in Beijing or going to the local government depends on the situation.

According to the practice of following the former Ming Dynasty, Da Zhou treated Jinshi generously. The practice of conferring officials after three years of second-class Jinshi will not be lower than the original Pin Yi (from the seventh rank) to the third or even fourth rank. To be a state magistrate (from the fifth rank), if you stay in Beijing, you will generally be in charge (the sixth rank), and the top three Jinshi will generally be awarded an official no lower than the original Pinyi (the eighth rank) after three years. Or recommend officials, if you stay in Beijing, most of them are judges and passers-by, and occasionally there are doctors and Zhongshu.

From this point of view, even the ordinary second-class Jinshi is treated much better than the third-class Jinshi, and it is not even much inferior to those second-class Jinshi selected by the museum, but the biggest advantage of the Shuji is that it improves Jinshi's upper limit.

Because according to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, without the qualifications of a concubine, you basically have no chance of entering the Imperial Academy. .

At the same time, he does not have the qualifications of the Shujishi, and even the possibility of serving as the Six Ministers, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple Minister, and Tongzhengsi Tongzhengshi, the nine ministers, is much less likely than the Shujishi.

It's just that I have taken a different path from the ordinary Shujishi or even the second-class Jinshi. After one year, Shujishi has been dismissed from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy. With this Imperial Academy edited Seniority has cleared the obstacles to joining the cabinet in the future. In fact, whether he stays in the Imperial Academy is of little significance, and it depends on the situation.

And according to the usual practice, after three years, the second-class jinshi will be promoted to the third rank after being removed from the official position. I am now from the sixth rank, and the third rank is the fifth rank. In Tianfu Zhizhong, the prime ministers of Dali Temple are all officials of the fifth rank, and they are the magistrates of the local government.

From Feng Ziying's personal point of view, he actually hopes to go to the local government to polish it, and Fu Tongzhi is a very suitable position, because this position is not the chief official, but to assist the magistrate in handling many daily affairs, so this is very good for the local government. For myself, who is still a little unclear about affairs, it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to make up and exercise.

However, he also felt that this possibility was relatively small. Judging from his current situation in the court, the chance of letting himself out of Beijing was not high, unless there were some special circumstances.

Especially now, opening the sea and opening up the Liaonan-Denglai route, setting up Yinzhuang and encouraging the establishment of shipyards are all quite cumbersome and specific tasks, and they are completely different from the previous ideas, so I estimate that I will be deeply involved in it for a long time. in.
