I am the king of the dead

Tang Yunyan carefully prepared the sword dance, mainly because Wen Po counted the days. Tang Yunyan was very likely to conceive these two days. She specially asked Xing'an to mention it before His Majesty. This also took a lot of effort, but His Majesty went Elena's Calyx House.

Fortunately, Tang Yunyan is now teaching in the Hall of Women, and is responsible for teaching long and short weapons, bow and archery, etc. Tang Yunyan's little grievance has not been further escalated into a palace fight.

Zhu Qiyu went to the lecture hall to meet Yu Qian on duty. This rehearsal will involve the great cause of the Ming Dynasty for decades, or even a century.

Regarding the issue of slaves, Zhu Qiyu will have an in-depth exchange of opinions with Yu Qian. After the two of them reach an agreement, a court meeting will be held to further discuss the issue of the status of slaves.

Zhu Qiyu gave Yu Qian the memorials from various places in advance.

When it comes to the moral high ground, Yu Qian of the entire Ming Dynasty considers himself second to the gentleman, and no one dares to be the first gentleman. The commanding height of the high moral disadvantage is naturally Yu Shaobao's own morality.

"The Ming Dynasty had an ancestral system, and no slaves were allowed. The Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, Dongluo, and Xiluo all died of slaves." Zhu Qiyu first talked about his attitude.

He himself is more opposed to the ethos of wanton slavery, which is based on demographic considerations.

Population structure is Zhu Qiyu's biggest concern about the slave issue. This concern comes from a basket of lessons from Rome, and even some lessons from later generations.

For example, in the United States on the other side of the ocean, when Zhu Qiyu traveled through it, racial conflicts had become one of the main contradictions that threatened social stability and disrupted social order in the United States.

Yu Qian sat upright, and said seriously: "Your Majesty can ban it, or not. Your Majesty is too worried."

The moral lowland of Daming is not Hu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Rites without virtue, but His Majesty in front of him. Because His Majesty doesn't care about fame at all, that's why Yu Qian said so.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's still somewhat puzzled expression, Yu Qian said in a low voice, "I can't help it, at most it is to use people to go forward, not to go back. If your majesty is worried that there will be too many slaves, which will cause something similar to Hu Yuan's Yisibaxi war in Quanzhou, When they are used up, they will all be repatriated."

The Persians rebelled in Quanzhou, which was also one of the reasons for the sea ban. After all, groups of Arabs, Persians, Jews, Indians, Kunlun slaves, and the rebellion in Wanguo City in nearly a hundred languages ​​are indeed historical lessons, but they can’t be eaten because of choking. Pick.

As for the repatriation mentioned by Yu Qian, it is basically impossible to realize, because the cost of repatriation is too high.

Then the final destination of these slaves who contributed to Ming Dynasty is a handful of loess. If they are worried about killing too many people, they can just burn them to the ground.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "Jin, the people of Ming Dynasty are the most industrious people. Your Majesty's construction goals are to recruit civilians."

Yu Qian's meaning is very clear, his attitude towards slavery tends to be involuntary.

Zhu Qiyu understood Yu Qian's words, and fell into silence. He thought for a long time and said: "When Zhang Feng, the left servant of the household department, was at odds with me, he also talked about the issue of the contract of selling one's life. It has been separated from the slave who signed the bond of sale, but the bond of sale."

"At present, many people in Ming Dynasty are involved in the sale of the contract of sale. Zhang Feng asked me how to deal with it. I can only prohibit the sale of the Tatars. It will take at least five years before the contract of sale expires. Even so, many small merchants The peddlers are all ruined, their families are ruined."

Zhu Qiyu talked about the issue of selling contracts in Liaodong, Beipingdusi, Jingji, Shaanxi Xingdusi, Jing'an and other places.

Zhang Feng said that this was Lei that endangered the social problems of Ming Dynasty. Thanks to Zhu Qiyu's early layout of Tatars, this Lei did not get to the point where he, the emperor, could not do anything.

Zhu Qiyu said worriedly: "If I can't help slaves at this time, this business of buying and selling slaves will inevitably affect the entire Ming Dynasty, and it will intensify. At that time, it will not be a problem that can be solved by my imperial decree."

Yu Qian disagreed very much and said: "Your Majesty is too worried. No matter when, Your Majesty is the heaven of Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty's imperial decree can solve it."

"The price." Zhu Qiyu said quite seriously: "The price is too great. These slaves are the private property of the people of Ming Dynasty. With a few strokes of my imperial decree, thousands of families will be destroyed."

Zhu Qiyu, who loves the people like his son, can certainly afford this price, but the people of Ming Dynasty cannot afford it.

Yu Qian understood Zhu Qiyu's thoughts and worries.

In fact, this matter is very simple. Officials from all over the country turn a blind eye to it, and His Majesty can completely ignore it.

When the issue of slavery gradually came to light, the emperor was furious and issued an imperial decree, but the bureaucrats who deceived the top and bottom were the ones who bore the infamy, and the emperor was also the one who was deceived.

The emperor's victimization theory, which is taboo for the venerable, has always been a political logic.

For example, the winter sacrifice made by Song Zhang, Fujian's chief envoy, forced the rebellion of the five provinces near Fujian. The emperor executed Song Zhang and others, and sent troops to suppress and appease them. Is a traitor.

For example, the logic of the first case is the same.

Good and bad things, regardless of whether His Majesty knows it or not, can actually apply this basic political logic and game rules.

This is undoubtedly an act of negligence.

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty in front of him. His Majesty is known all over the world to be diligent in government. Although he is not as good as Emperor Taizu Gao, he can afford to be diligent in government.

There are all kinds of disadvantages in neglecting the government, but there is only one advantage, that is, the emperor will be much more relaxed.

Diligence has all kinds of advantages, but only one disadvantage, that is, the emperor's desk work.

The emperor has been firmly established. As the most honorable person in the world, few emperors toss themselves so tired.

Yu Qian insisted: "I understand your Majesty's thoughts and concerns, but I still insist on my thoughts. This trend of slavery cannot be restrained."

"What does Your Majesty think of Sui Yangdi?"

Zhu Qiyu said without hesitation: "It's a great achievement."

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was definitely not a stupid person. On the contrary, he was very smart. Yang Guang was able to make the eldest son Yang Yong, the prince, and finally ascended the throne. He was not smart enough and absolutely impossible.

Yang Guanghui was ruined on top of this great feat, such as conquering Goguryeo three times, building Luoyang, opening a canal, visiting Yangzhou three times, visiting the northern part of the Great Wall twice, and so on.

For example, for the construction of Luoyang, nearly 200 million civilian husbands were recruited.

And the Guangkai Canal has nearly a million people. The military failure of three conquests of Goguryeo and three conquests and three defeats completely brought the entire Sui Dynasty into the order of winter. In the end, Emperor Sui Yang lost his way and lost the world.

These things are indeed to be done, so impatient, Yang Guang's death in the Sui Dynasty was worse than a great success.

"Your Majesty, you are right." Yu Qian bowed his head and said.

This is Yu Qian's remonstrance, and his remonstrance is gentle, just like the matter of persuading Zhu Qiyu to like salted fish.

Yu Qian asked very solemnly: "Your Majesty, the 40 miles of roads are hardened, and the 20 miles of waterways are dredged. How much manpower will it take for government factories in various places, especially kiln workers?"

"Your Majesty, this price is much heavier than the cost of the destruction of tens of thousands of families that His Majesty said."

"Your Majesty, it's like the current sea merchants are acquiescing to carry firecrackers, crossbows, and armor."

The reason is indeed the same. There are social reasons for the rise of slavery. If Zhu Qiyu intervenes, he will have to pay more.

Yu Qian continued: "And what your Majesty is thinking about, I don't think this is a problem. In the final analysis, it is a matter of financial affairs. Your Majesty is especially good at this and has his own solution."

"Raising slaves is no easier than raising cows and horses. After all, cows and horses are at most kicked. This slave is human and can kill."

The people of Ming Dynasty did not keep slaves, and it was not easy to keep slaves, much more difficult than raising livestock. For ordinary people, they would at most participate in the sale of the contract instead of directly keeping slaves.

What His Majesty is worried about is the harm that ordinary people will encounter during policy adjustments, so this issue will turn into a financial affairs issue in the final analysis.

For His Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty and No. 1 in financial affairs, this is not difficult to solve.

"Yu Shaobao has a lot of confidence in me!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile. He had doubts in his heart when he played against Yu Qian, and he stripped away the problem and sorted out all the context.

Regarding the management of slavery, Zhu Qiyu finally perfected his mind.

Zhu Qiyu said conclusively: "The trend of slavery can't be controlled. Within five years, the Great Ming will benefit from it. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Then I will be the king who unifies the world and the lord of all nations. The trend of slavery will be reduced within five years." Can't help."

"I can't help it but I can't help it. It's like the flowers and trees in the imperial garden. If they grow wantonly, they will be barren and it will be even more difficult to manage."

"I'm going to draw up the slave law, so I'll have to pay less for it."

Can't help but benefit the Ming Dynasty in the short term, but it is unacceptable for the imperial system not to be controlled by the court.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to control the number of slaves and strictly manage the trading of slaves and the sale of slaves. He must not allow them to grow. He was not worried about being too big to fail.

Zhu Qiyu was mainly worried that the slaves would have an impact on Ming's population structure, which would eventually lead to a problem similar to the racial conflict in the United States as the main conflict.

"Your Majesty is wise. I will discuss this matter with the courtiers when I get back. I will give Your Majesty a first draft in a month or so, and it can be tried out in Jingtai eight years at the latest." Yu Qian made a promise.

Zhu Qiyu put down the memorabilia about slaves, and took out a memoir of Li Xian and Li Binyan. Shuang Li was notorious in Nanya, and the reputation of cruel officials was spread all over the world.

What this letter said is what Zhu Qiyu is more worried about.

Yu Qian took the memorabilia from Xing'an's hand, his brows furrowed more and more as he looked at it, and he closed the memorandum worriedly, and said rather worriedly: "Your Majesty was worried when he practiced the money law, I thought it was because of His Majesty's worrying too much, now it seems , His Majesty still underestimated their shamelessness."

Li Xian and Li Binyan talked about a flourishing social atmosphere in the memorial.

Back then, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, was in Lin'an, that is, Hangzhou and other places, engaged in the business of dung tyrants. With the emperor taking the lead in leading the Song Dynasty, this kind of thing was repeatedly prohibited.

Recently, an industrial chain similar to dung tyrants has also appeared in Nanya Zhufu.

Caiba, Shaba, Youba, Roadba, Meatba and so on.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a business called collapsed house business. After the house collapsed, it was even more difficult to rebuild it. There was no earth, wood and stone in the city, and it was impossible to build a house if you wanted to.

Zhu Qiyu solved the dereliction of duty of the soldiers and horses in the five cities of Nanjing, and solved the business of collapsed houses, but similar businesses have been banned repeatedly.

Yu Qian held the memorial tightly, with a solemn face, and said in a serious tone: "Qingdao money has revived, and the profit is rolling, the donkey is rolling, and if you can't pay off the debt, you will still be bankrupted. This kind of green rice money violates the law of the Ming Dynasty. appearing again."

"Bullying and dominating the market, various gangs and halls, taking advantage of the large number of people, make trouble for the market, buy and sell by force, and exploit the common people."

"The case of the abnormal female household is still in sight, and the clans all over the country are ready to move, and this female household is sold again. Not to mention, there are more than [-] people in the Tianbao Chen family alone, who participated in the sand mining of the collapsed houses of the store. Dozens of fires made a profit. More than one million silver coins."

"Tianmu's disciples dare to intercept and kill the escorting silver boat on the canal, it is simply lawless!"

"There are countless such things!"

"Your Majesty, the sharp sword should be lifted high, to cleanse the dust and clean the dirt! Let the people of Ming Dynasty have a brighter future!"

Yu Qian's meaning is very clear, these food tyrants, sand tyrants, oil tyrants, road tyrants, and meat tyrants have seriously affected the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty. The basic necessities of life are monopolized by these people, and they set prices at will, and the people suffer unspeakably.

You have to punch hard.

These sins fall into several categories.

The first ones are still the collective crimes committed by the clan forces. Just like the old man of the Li family in Boai Township in the case of the abnormal female household, the sages of these clans are still the subject of the crime.

The second category is similar to churches and gangs. They gather together with various evil religions, with a large number of people, a huge range of activities, and a clear division of labor.

The third category is the wandering people. These people have lost their land and homeless, like duckweed, wandering around, attached to major religious gangs and clan forces, and become thugs and direct criminals.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the contents of the memorial, and said: "This trend cannot grow, the first offender must be punished, and the accomplice must be strict."

"It happened that there were more than 25 rebels in Nanya, and tens of thousands of them had already completed their service and were returning home. These major cases started with a minimum of seven years of hard labor."

"There is a shortage of hard labor in the coal fields of the two major official factories of the Ma'an Factory and the Jianghuai Factory. If they come to your door, I will be disrespectful."

The reason why Li Binyan and Li Xian made this memorandum is that the matter is so big that it is impossible to conduct a thorough investigation with only the soldiers, magistrates and yamen servants in the five cities of each prefecture, and the Beijing army in Nanjing City and Songjiang Mansion must be mobilized. .

Yu Qian, a pigeon breeder in Ming Dynasty, kept his pigeons very well. It only took two days for this memorial to arrive in Beijing.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Qian bowed his head and said, such cases must not be indulged, and must be punished severely, with severe punishment and punishment, to learn from the past and learn from the future.

Zhu Qiyu hesitated and said, "I plan to visit Nanya next year, what does Yu Shaobao think?"

"South tour?" Yu Qian was taken aback, His Majesty really wanted to go out.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made a tour to the south and destroyed the Sui Dynasty. Could it be possible that His Majesty will really be the king of subjugation?

Chapter 589 is taken from Minyi and used in Minnan

"What's wrong, must His Majesty go there to solve it?" Yu Qian knew Zhu Qiyu too well.

The emperor's grandfather also left the capital once, and stayed in the capital for the rest of the time.

This was caused by the political system of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu did not have a qualified heir to supervise the country, so he had to be in the capital, just like when a large army conquered, Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing could not charge forward, and had to sit in the town for a reason.

If His Majesty wants to move, it proves that something happened in Nan Ya that worries His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to fetch a thick account book, which was completed by Sun Bingfu.

Sun Bingfu was a talent that Zhu Qiyu discovered when he was inspecting the Baoyuan Bureau. If you have passed the silver, you can understand the cadres of the weight, fineness and silver road.

This official, who lives in Nanjing, is the head of Yingtian Baoyuan Bureau and is now the doctor of the Bank.

Yu Qian opened the account book, looked at it for about half an hour, finally put down the account book, and understood His Majesty's concerns.

Be it clans or heretical religions, these are all problems that have existed in all dynasties, and there are rules to follow in dealing with them, but the set that Sun Bingfu created is indeed an unprecedented new problem.

"Sometimes I wonder whether it is right or wrong for me to practice money." Zhu Qiyu put away the account book, fiddled with the tilted globe on the table, and said with a sigh: "Archimedes once said, give me With one fulcrum, I can pry up the whole earth."

"Sun Bingfu did nothing wrong, but I am very worried."

Archimedes probably never said this proverb, because the proof is indeed a ball. Even in Daming, it is the latest achievement of degree bypassing. It takes a long way.

But Sun Bingfu found that fulcrum. The Baoyuan bureaus of Yingtianfu, Songjiangfu, Mizhou Shipping Department, Ningbo Shipping Department, Quanzhou Shipping Department, and Guangzhou Shipping Department have been engaged in lending and investment recently.

That's right, it's an investment in the literal sense.

The Baoyuan Bureau has an interest of 250% per year. This part of the interest was initially paid out of [-]% of the seigniorage. However, under the leadership of Sun Bingfu, these Baoyuan Bureaus began to be self-financed in the fourth year of Jingtai. In the seventh year of Jingtai, Sun Bingfu handed over Jingtai's six-year profit, a total of [-] million silver coins.

What is the concept of 250 million silver coins?

The profits handed in alone can be raised in Shaobao’s Jiuzhong Hall for more than 4235 years, and can be raised until [-] AD.

All the water conservancy projects in Jing'an Province can be completed without recruiting civilians, and seven to eight official factories can be established.

Yu Qian was quite surprised and said: "Sun Bingfu is indeed a master at making money. Have these silver coins and silver coins entered Beijing?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, Shen Yi, the left servant of the household department, had already entered the warehouse, and Zhu Qiyu only talked about it to Qian after the Ministry of Finance had undergone a comprehensive review.

Isn't it a good thing that Baoyuan Bureau makes money by itself?

Zhu Qiyu said rather distressed: "Yu Shaobao, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou was looking for money, and the court of the Southern Song Dynasty favored luxury and competed for luxury. The court used more than [-] kinds of firewood, rice, oil, salt, alum and other things that are closely related to people's livelihood. In the end, there was a big joke of two hundred renminbi a catty of coal."
