Seeing that His Majesty was still a little puzzled, Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Since the defeat of Oala, the side has practiced many farm methods, and later established the Xuanfu Gongshi. The Tatar king only asked for silver coins. The targets of these past smuggling stalls are A lot has changed."

"In the past, they traded with the Tatar kings. Later, the Tatar kings only asked for silver coins. The silver coins of the Ming Dynasty were not enough. These merchants, brokers, and compradors could not supply silver coins. The trading partners became ordinary Tatar people."

"The Tatar people have little personal wealth, and they want to live, so they can only sell themselves to merchants."

"These merchants brought these Tatars back to Daming, treated them as refugees, and returned them to farms in various places. After farming, they paid back the money to redeem themselves."

Zhu Qiyu nodded solemnly. It turned out that he issued silver coins to the Tatars in the Xuanfu, and some people cooperated with his policy, because it made more profits.

Seeing that His Majesty was still quite curious about this matter, Yu Qian continued: "The debts of these refugees are scattered all over the place, and these merchants are not doing business at a loss. They usually resell their debts to local merchants. In this way, It’s guaranteed to get the money.”

"The merchants in Jing'an, Shanxi Xingdusi and other places are in charge of mediating this matter. The first batch of people have been invited back."

Zhu Qiyu has a familiar sense of déjà vu, thinking a little bit, isn't this the Ming version of the slave trade?

It's just because the Ming court is a big government that takes care of everything, and it also prohibits slavery, so it can only be a compromise.

The reason why Yu Qian didn't talk about it was because he didn't want to make a statement about this matter, and he took a multi-pronged approach to facilitate Tuotuobuhua's entry into Beijing to present the letter of alliance.

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "If there is such a thing in the north, it should also be in the south. Is there someone in Champa, Jiaozhi, Srivijaya, Java, Borneo, Japan, Korea, who also specialize in this business?"

Yu Qian really knew about this, nodded and said: "Yes, Gao Liji, Japanese slaves, and Kunlun slaves all came here. There are men and women."

"Among them, Gao Liji is the most expensive, ranging from [-] silver coins to [-] silver coins. They are bought back as concubines, not as slaves."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Zhu Qiyu fully understand Yu Qian's thoughts.

Daming Maritime Trade is entering a new stage. Daming's production and sales are integrated, and you can get what you want. Overseas countries are too barren, and the goods are not enough. Using people as numbers is also a common form of trading in the current Maritime Trade.

Zhu Qiyu reserved his own opinion on this matter. Since Yu Qian knew these things in detail and didn't write a memorial, it means that Yu Qian knew this matter well.

Yu Qian didn't say anything, it doesn't mean he didn't do anything, it's all within the controllable range.

Gao Liji, a specialty of North Korea, is similar to the thin horse of the Ming Dynasty. It is a place in North Korea that specializes in cultivating women who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are sent to the Ming Dynasty for sale. It is a high-end product.

"Your Majesty, I will leave." After Yu Qian saw that His Majesty's doubts were all cleared up, he was ready to go to work.

What Yu Qian harbored in his heart was Daren, not a woman's benevolence, Zhu Qiyu soon saw Yu Qian's thunderous means.

All the voodoo and Gu techniques that peddled Shen Fusan were jointly wiped out by Yu Qian and Zhu Yi.

The three government orders continued, urging them to stop beguiling the people immediately, and all those who refused to close their doors were arrested and sent to various government factories for labor reform, and anyone who resisted would be shot to death.

Master Yu, who was full of murderous looks, later showed his vigorous and resolute style of doing things. A large number of bandits and bandits disappeared along with the scattered talismans.

On the third day, Yu Qian made a memorial together to impeach a total of 32 Beijing officials headed by the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and Yang Shan, the minister of Honglu Temple.

Among them, 13 were dismissed from office and exiled to the smoky land, [-] were dismissed from office and sent to Shijingchang, and two others were to be executed according to the law.

Yang Shan, as the chief culprit, has already been involved in heinous crimes and should be sent to Jieyuan.

Zhu Qiyu only waited for one day, and the impeachment of Yang Shan and others floated into the Imperial Study Room of Tai'an Palace like snowflakes.

The tree fell and scattered.

"Old Wang Ge." Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved the memorial. The death penalty needs to be reviewed three times. This list will be checked and supplemented. The one who sent the memorial is Wang Wen, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wang Wen has been in office for 19 years. He once served as the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is now a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu is quite satisfied with Wang Wen's work in the past few years.

Wang Wen bowed his head and said, "The minister is here."

"Yang Shan once went out under the command of King Jili. After the Tumu Fortress changed, he disguised himself and went back to Daming with hunger and hunger all the way. At that time, Li Xian came back together. The hands of the two were as skinny as chicken feet. head."

"Because of Shaobao's recommendation, both Yang Shan and Li Xian became Shu Jishi, and were then sent to Honglu Temple." Zhu Qiyu talked about Yang Shan's resume.

This Yang Shan should be regarded as Yu Qian's man.

Yang Shan was not a little-known person like Li Xian during the Zhengtong period. When Yang Shanhu went to war with King Jili, he was already the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

As a member of the second rank, if Yang Shan was willing to surrender back then, Yang Shan's position in Oala would be no less than Wang Fu's position in Oirat now. Although this person is a little impatient, he can still be regarded as a person who knows people and makes good use of them. .

But Yang Shan would rather put aside all his decency, pretend to be a prisoner in a disgraceful manner, mix with the lower Liba people, and return to Daming with his chest stuck to his back in hunger.

You must know that in these days, it is a degrading expression for scholars to stand and drink while wearing long gowns.

"Whether it is Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites, Yang Shan has done a good job, and I appreciate him very much."

"Sending him to Jieyuan is not enough, let's behead him." Zhu Qiyu thought about Yang Shan's refusal to surrender, and finally decided not to let Yang Shan go to Jiejieyuan, but beheaded to show the public.

Back then, Yang Shan left the last decency for himself, and when he returned to Daming, Zhu Qiyu also left Yang Shan the last decency by beheading him for public display instead of sending him to Jiejie Yuan, which is half human and half ghost.

Whether it is the scattered divine talismans, the edged sword that fell out of Fengtian Temple, or the marching path of the Daming Mission, it is all controlled by Yang Shan behind the scenes.

"Bring Yang Shan here, I want to meet him." Zhu Qiyu said wearily.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has certain psychological expectations about who is behind the scenes. There are not many people who can do these things, and the scope is so large.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair without saying a word, and there was a little silence in the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion.

Yang Shan was quickly taken to Juxian Pavilion and escorted by two Tiqi.

"The sinful minister pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Yang Shan bowed his head in a respectful manner and shouted loudly.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, just looked at Yang Shan for a long time.

"Xu Youzhen recently gave a Taoist memorial, saying that the Wujiang River is about to be connected. The coal from the Liuzhi Factory sells well in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. It only takes more than a month." Zhu Qiyu continued: "I still have to prepare a miracle card for him."

The reason why he mentioned Xu Youzhen was because Xu Youzhen and Yang Shan were the same type of people, they both liked political opportunism very much, and Xu Youzhen and Yang Shan were the representatives of the civil servants who initiated the change of seizing the door.

But Xu Youzhen walked on a completely different path from Yang Shan, whether it was because she was afraid of death or because she suddenly realized it.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like Xu Youzhen, everyone in the civil and military court knew that Xu Youzhen was really annoying, King Jili took his wife to the north, and the whole square heard Xu Youzhen crying.

Who are you crying for?

But Xu Youzhen continued to take away from Zhu Qiyu the miracle cards that symbolized the highest honor.

Zhu Qiyu felt very sorry for Yang Shan. If he behaved well, wouldn't he be the only one who has the final say on the Ministry of Rites when Hu Wei is old? !

However, Yang Shan still went astray after missing this critical step.

"I am ashamed of your grace." Yang Shan knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said: "Life is full of divergences. Now it's too late for me to tell you anything, so I won't send you to Jieyuan. In the last few days, eat and drink well. Get ready to go on the road."

Chapter 583 The birth of a powerful minister is a two-way rush

Yang Shan suddenly raised his head and said sharply: "You are noble! You are noble! Only I am the most despicable!"

Tiqi pressed Yang Shan's head forcefully, and pushed him to the ground. This kind of scolding with his head held up was obviously an act of stabbing someone in the face, and it was disrespectful.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Let him finish."

Yang Shan raised his head to look at Zhu Qiyu again, his eyes were still fierce, his wolfish ambition was obvious, the reason why Yang Shan straightened his back and raised his head so majestically was because he thought he was not wrong.

"What's the use of killing me? There are countless people like me in the world, like crucian carp crossing the river!"

"Your Majesty's world is public, it's all lies to deceive people!"

"The world is like this. Your Majesty, the world is public today, but can your majesty guarantee that the world will be public forever?"

"Your Majesty can make the world a public, and can you guarantee that the world will be a public for future generations?"

"Once you lose your sense of publicity, don't you rely on bureaucratic officials to manage the world?"

"Your Majesty negotiated peace with Tatar today and brought Tatar into Ming Dynasty. Some businesses cannot be done today, so why not do the same in the future?"

"Your Majesty must have learned that the Tatar was forced to sign a deed of selling himself and came to Daming. Does Your Majesty know how this business is profitable?"

"The deeds of sale are also divided into grades. Different people have different redemption money. This debt goes around and around. In the end, the merchant will make money not by redemption, but by buying and selling debts!"

Yang Shan suddenly talked about the debt transaction, which belongs to the category of financial affairs, and Zhu Qiyu said with interest: "I would like to hear the details."

The corner of Yang Shan's mouth twitched, and he continued: "At present, in Liaodong, Beizhili, Shanxi Xingdusi, Jing'an, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places in Kyushu outside the mountains, an unknown amount of debts have been formed due to the trading of Tatars."

"The deed of prostitution for males over the age of 15 who can read and write is grade A, the deed of prostitution for female relatives over the age of 15 who can read and write is grade B, the deed of prostitution for males over the age of 30 is grade C, and the deed of female relatives over the age of 25 is grade D. By analogy, the child who has not grown a wheel is the last class."

"These deeds of sale are divided into categories and sold according to class, and the people who buy them are not only merchants, but also countless small merchants with surplus money."

"Your Majesty, this debt affects the whole body. It's not just about the power and authority. It's not just about the wealthy businessmen. Small businessmen and peddlers are also involved."

"The minister said this, meaning that human nature is greedy! As long as human nature is like this, the world is like this!"

"With your majesty's merits, you are willing to compromise with the world and reconcile with the world. No matter how extravagant your majesty is, even if your majesty wants the Lizhu in the deep sea, he is the hero of the world!"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Yang Shan also knows about Cangminghai and Cangmingliu? I thought you would be dismissive of the things I did."

Dongyang and Cangminghai are both Ming's names for the Pacific Ocean. Zhu Qiyu was quite surprised that Yang Shan actually knew Cangminghai, which proved that he was not a stubborn conservative who refused to keep pace with the times.

Yang Shan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I know that Yu Shaobao's Great Harmony World does not exist at all. As long as people's hearts have five poisons, this road will not work, so why bother? If you go any further, Great Ming will be in danger!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and suspicion, the five poisonous hearts, Yang Shan, what you said makes sense. The world of great harmony that Yu Qian said, everyone in the world is the same, does not exist at all."

"I know so."

Yang Shan's face was full of doubts. Since His Majesty had the same thoughts as him, and they both firmly believed that the Datong world would not be possible, then what's the point of doing these things?

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yang Shan, picked up the teacup with a sneer, and said: "What I want is not to make Da Ming into a world of Datong. Those nobles in the Imperial Academy are dreaming. Dreams are stupid and stupid."

"What I want is that after I leave, there will be more schools in Daming, more pharmacies that will benefit the people, and the common people will get something for their work. Daming will sail thousands of miles to ride the wind and waves. This is not a charity discovered by you people with conscience, but because I have been here."

"What I want is that Daming will become better, to prove that I once existed, to prove that we once existed."

"Da Ming Erlang in the future will shine a little when he is hot."

"do you understand?"

"You do not understand."

Yang Shan's complexion changed several times, and he roared loudly: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! Ah!"

Yang Shan slammed into the wooden pillar of the imperial study with all his strength, but the professional Tiqi had already stepped on the ankle chain when he was roaring. on the ground.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yang Shan with disdain, and asked with a sneer: "Why do you want to learn from others and dig out your heart? You think I will give you this chance?"

"Or are you afraid of the torment of waiting for death before the beheading?"

"This is you, despicable, shameless, immoral, a group of thugs who dare not even face death. When you flaunt yourself, you use all the compliments, but what you do is extremely obscene."

"Drag it down." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, signaling Tiqi to drag Yang Shan down.

Zhu Qiyu is such a person, he never let his courtiers guess his thoughts, he told Yang Shan plainly that he did not intend to build Daming into an ideal world of Datong where all the world is the same, he Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, they did it , is the pathfinder, the forerunner.

Yang Shan has never realized this, so he is just a servant, not a minister.

Xing'an hurriedly brewed a pot of tea, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty calm down, it's not worthwhile to be angry with this kind of person."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "I'm not angry, I just feel a little pity, this Yang Shan is very talented and capable, unfortunately, I use it in the wrong place, I feel sorry for it."

"Did Li Bing participate in this incident?"

Xing'an seriously recalled Yu Shaobao's impeachment list, shook his head and said: "Li Bing did not participate in it, and Yu Shaobao has always done everything carefully."

Zhu Qiyu held the teacup and said: "Well, I got it, I have to announce Ji Duo, I have something to say, he should go to the country of Japan, and the Hino Tomiko from Baiyi nunnery, just call him."

"Yes." Xing'an bowed his head and led the way.

Zhu Qiyu had arrangements for Ji Duo, as the envoy of Ming Dynasty, he acted as a bridge between Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, and Yuan Bin and others were working in the Japanese country, Zhu Qiyu had to give them titles, otherwise the nature of Yuan Bin and others would always be dependent on others. Relying on the breath of the Muromachi shogunate.

"I see Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?" Ji Duo came faster, he was on duty in the martial arts hall, and Hino Tomiko came a bit late.

"Zhen'an, sit down." Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to hand over the imperial decree and envoys to Ji Duo, and began to instruct him on many precautions for this mission to Japan, as well as the arrangements for Tomiko Hino.

Hino Tomiko chose to become a nun in Baiyi'an, firstly to stay in Daming, and secondly to refer to the old events of the Tang Dynasty and climb up the emperor's couch.

At the beginning, Wu Zetian was Li Shimin's talented person. After Li Shimin was a guest, Wu Zetian became a nun, and was finally brought into the harem by Li Zhi, and finally became the emperor.

Concubine Yang Guifei, as the concubine of Shouwang, her first step was to become a nun, and then she was sent to the palace, becoming a noble concubine who was loved by thousands of people.

Hino Tomiko still wants to climb the dragon couch.

It's a pity that Zhu Qiyu was too impressed with Tomiko Hino's black teeth and ghostly makeup when he met the saint for the first time.

Zhu Qiyu handed over the last imperial decree to Ji Duo and said: "The Hino family is intertwined in the Japanese country, and all the famous masters have the power of the Hino family, or marry, or serve as staff, which is originally an extremely important political strength."

"Fuko Hino wants to save the seed. Of course I know they want to replace the Muromachi shogunate. It's a pity that King Xiang refuses to save the seed for her, and I can't help it."

King Xiang is the emperor's uncle, logically speaking, if King Xiang is willing, Zhu Qiyu will naturally fulfill Fuko Hino's wish, and if the Hino family can really make things happen, then they can be regarded as the sons and grandsons of Daming.

It's a pity that King Xiang is not sensitive to Du Zhong's respect and thanks. Although King Xiang has been spending a lot of time, but his three heirs are all descendants, so it is known that King Xiang's spending time is just to make the emperor feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, Tomiko Hino is here." Xing'an said in a low voice.

After three years of precipitation, Tomiko Hino has become more like a Daming person rather than a Japanese. At least the etiquette and makeup are not so scary.
