I am the king of the dead

Teng Zhao is not talking nonsense, he gave a clear time, when His Majesty returns to court, the construction of the Carpenter City on the ground in Fujian will start, and even be completed, for His Majesty to inspect again.

You must know that Fujian is one of the sixteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, an active province, how can it be left behind?

Zhu Qiyu continued: "It is human nature to pursue profit. Based on this, we can infer that meat eaters naturally have strong motivations to do something."

"For example, to reduce the labor wages of workers. The labor disputes handled by the Labor Insurance Bureau every year are empirical evidence."

"For example, prolong the working hours and intensity of laborers as much as possible. On this point, there is also a saying in the Han Dynasty: Farmers and their sons are exposed to the middle and wild, and they do not avoid the cold and heat. Taxes are privately demanded by the township department, and cannot be paid for, so the people abandon their basics and chase after the waste, and the tillers cannot half."

"For example, try to make workers obedient and follow the rules. For example, the two elder brothers of Yang Tie in Gaochang were sold to the workshop by Master Yang and Young Master Yang to work as bonded labor in the workshop, so that they can be physically attached to prevent them from running away or being disobedient. "

"For example, let the laborers bear the cost of reproduction as much as possible. Farmers often wonder, obviously they planted the land themselves, but they have to borrow money to buy grain every year? The craftsmen are also thinking, obviously they made the iron tools themselves. , but also to spend time, energy or money to obtain ironware, porcelain and so on.”

"Based on this strong motivation, we can get a ground truth."

"That is, the meat-eaters have more and more liquid assets, fixed assets, and reserved assets, so much that they don't know how much they have. Their lives are extremely extravagant, and they spend money like running water. They even spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a broken sack. And enjoy it, but, instead of decreasing, the silver in the treasury is still increasing, and piled up like a mountain."

"However, the peasants and craftsmen of the working class are getting poorer and poorer, and they still have to be grateful for the charity of the meat eaters. The court and the emperor can't hear their voices, even if the wealth is created by them."

"The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. What is the long-term result?"

Teng Zhao said subconsciously: "What is it?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I lost my way and died in the world. Everything was completely destroyed by the boundless anger, and I started all over again."

"how so?"

"It's very simple. The consumers who buy workshop goods and food are still the majority of people."

"The meat eaters occupy all the profits, but the laborers get meager labor remuneration, or even can't get the due remuneration, then the world's total demand for commodities will fall again and again."

"Most people, like the monks in the temple, have no desires or desires. Who will buy the things produced by workshops and land?"

"Demand decreases, workshops reduce production, and laborers' wages are even less guaranteed. This further reduces demand, and this has fallen into an endless loop. It cannot be extricated, and winter is approaching."

"The existence of the Craftsman City can reduce the cost of reproduction that the craftsmen bear on themselves. This is another important significance of the Craftsman City."

Zhu Qiyu's so many words are actually a process of argumentation.

What he wants to express is: the existence of the craftsman city, in addition to ensuring the bargaining power of the laborers to form a joint force and ensure the influence on decision-making, has another important role: that is to reduce the reproduction cost of the laborers and ensure domestic demand.

What the workshop produces are commodities, not luxury goods, not broken sacks of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the commodities are paid for by most people.

And Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven and the largest consumer market, endless stripping, and the final result is that no one pays for the products produced.

Zhu Qiyu, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could not talk about stabilizing and expanding domestic demand on the one hand, but on the other hand he was unwilling to exercise public power, intervene in the systematic exploitation of workers by meat-eaters, and even guarantee the rights of meat-eaters to the exploitation of subordinates. .

As the poor get poorer, who will sell the commodities produced?

How to stabilize and expand domestic demand?

"The official residence is the home of the bureaucrats, and the artisan city is the home of the craftsmen." Zhu Qiyu put one foot on the big jade leg and said conclusively.

Teng Zhao has fully understood why His Majesty asked about Jiangcheng. Fujian's farms are doing very well. Jiangcheng is a shortcoming on the ground in Fujian. His Majesty pointed out the way for him in the future. !"

Yu Qian turned his head to Xing'an and asked in a low voice: "Da Dang, have you written down what your majesty said just now? Send it back to the capital, let the Yantie conference study your majesty's words carefully, and write them into "Jingtai Yantie New Theory" "In."

Xing'an said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shaoan, our family has made a note of it."

For Xing'an, every word His Majesty said is very important, and this is also the reason for his existence as a big peng.

Zhu Qiyu returned to Bieyuan and began to deal with the memorials sent by the capital. At dusk, Zhu Qiyu received a pond newspaper, his complexion suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "Li Yimin, what a daring dog!"

Chapter 745 Quickly send three thousand maidservants to appease His Majesty's anger!

Can Daming's production capacity meet the domestic market demand of Daming, and can there be excess production capacity for foreign trade?

The current Daming has a population of less than [-] million. The productivity of Daming can fully meet the market demand of Daming, and it is exported overseas, and harvests the world with its trade surplus.

For example, after a clearing of Ming's armaments, the disposal and maintenance of a large amount of second-hand armaments is a huge expense. If they can be sold, both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Qiyu sold a large amount of armaments to Li Yimin and Li Sicheng, and when Li Sicheng's armaments went halfway, Li Yimin snatched a boat.

And this batch of armaments is escorted by the Daming Navy, which is equivalent to slapping the Emperor Daming hard on the face. Li Yimin is telling the Emperor Daming with practical actions: Inquire carefully, who is in Tokyo Bay? Lord.

(Tokyo Bay here refers to the estuary of the Red River, which is the semi-enclosed bay in the northwest of the South China Sea, Beibu Gulf.)

"When we met in Songjiang Mansion before, I bowed my knees, hoping to get Daming's support, so that he could be canonized as the King of Annan, but now that I have failed, I showed my minions." Zhu Qiyu pointed at the pond newspaper on the table, annoyed Said.

Xing'an found another copy of memorials and said: "Li Yimin said that it was the military of the Qianhu Office in Yuntun, Annan, but he didn't know that it was a ship of Ming Dynasty. hijacked the ship."

Zhu Qiyu picked up Li Yimin's memorabilia, sneered and said: "Li Yimin is fooling a three-year-old child! Every ship of the Ming Dynasty is hung with the Big Dipper flag, can't he see it with blind eyes?"

"He wants to fool me, right? Very good, kind!"

"There are more than a dozen ships for Li Yimin's armaments in Xingang, Songjiang Prefecture. Flying pigeons are passing letters to Xingang. First, they will be given to the Hosokawa and Shanming clans of the Wa Kingdom. I am afraid that there will be no place to sell my armaments?"

"It's against him!"

Zhu Qiyu was quite angry, as if he had a dog and barked at him.

But at this time in the Forbidden City of Shenglong City, Li Yimin was breaking everything he could see in a crazy manner. With disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, Li Yimin suddenly stretched out a finger, and pointed at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, hissing his lungs. shouted: "Who is so courageous! Dare to rob Daming's ship!"

Li Yimin didn't have the guts to do anything to Daming's ship, especially His Majesty's ship.

Li Yimin felt that his greatest advantage was that His Majesty cared more about him.

After all, Yuan Bin, who was in the emperor's heart, was the envoy to Shenglong City, and the envoy to Qinghua City was a little-known official.

He didn't dare to complain to the angel Yuan Bin, and he didn't even dare to summon Yuan Bin to express his dissatisfaction with His Majesty's canonization of Li Sicheng as King Annan.

How dare he hijack the ship?

Li Sicheng robbed the ship, Li Yimin didn't even dare to rob the ship!

Li Yimin turned around twice anxiously, and said to Fan Wenqiao: "Go and chop off the head of the person who hijacked the ship and send it to Daming!"

Liu Pu hesitated for a while, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I just chopped off my head. I'm afraid it won't appease Your Majesty's anger. I thought it would be appropriate to send three thousand maidservants as soon as possible to express my sincerity in apologizing."

Li Yimin is panicking like an ant on a hot pot now. What he fears most is that the Emperor of Ming no longer cares about him. Hearing Liu Pu's remonstrance, Li Yimin is overjoyed and said: "It should be so, it should be so, Mrs. Liu Lieutenant is right."

The Patriarch of the Mo family, the admiral of the palace, the governor of the central army and the governor of the central army, Mo Zhi, the minister of the dragon, stood up and said with a flushed face: "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible!"

"If it's such a trivial matter, to kill our soldiers in a hurry and sacrifice their heads to the Ming Emperor's tent will really lose the dignity of our country!"

"I have to send the woman to apologize, it is really embarrassing to my sergeant!"

"If it gets out, won't your majesty get a reputation of being afraid of Daming?!"

"And it's me, Da Yue, who suffers!"

Mo Zhi did not agree to kill the sergeant who boarded the ship to loot, let alone send the woman to apologize, it was really embarrassing.

It is tantamount to bowing down to Daming, which is a great humiliation.

Why is it a humiliation to apologize to Daming to clear up the misunderstanding?

The Li Dynasty was called Dayue internally, and Annan externally, because the Ming Dynasty disagreed with the Li Dynasty calling it Yue. The word Daming Yue included Guangdong, Guangxi and part of Yunnan and Guizhou.

The king of the Li Dynasty was called the emperor internally, and the king of Annan externally, because the three generations from Li Li, Li Yuanlong to Li Bangji, Li Yimin, and Li Sicheng all knew clearly that if they told the Ming emperor that they were also emperors, then the Ming dynasty would use all of its national power. It is necessary to sweep the holes of Li Chao Li Ting.

The rulers of the Li Dynasty would choose a refined name in the past to obtain the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and internally use another name to be the emperor of the Dayue Kingdom.

This kind of contradictory behavior of both being and standing keeps Annan in a state of divided politics and culture. He is not only a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, but also deceives himself that Dai Viet is not a vassal state.

In An Nanguo, there has long been a voice that is completely divorced from Ming Dynasty, and this trend is so strong that it has even become the mainstream of Shilin.

That's why Mo Zhi thought it a shame to make an apology and resolve the misunderstanding.

And Mo Zhi took it for granted.

Li Yimin said a little irritably: "If His Majesty is furious and sends troops to attack, what should we do?"

Mo Zhi straightened his body, and said loudly with force and force, "Soldiers come to cover you with water and soil! The Ming army is coming, and we soldiers will fight against the enemy with all our strength, and fight until the last soldier!"

"I, Mozhi and Dai Viet 20 soldiers, vow to live and die with Dai Viet!"

The corners of Li Yimin's mouth twitched. Although he is moody, cruel and tyrannical, he is an innocent murderer, but he is not stupid. He has seen the navy of Daming in Daming, and he has even seen the brutality of the sergeants of the Beijing camp of Daming.

That's a heavenly soldier and general!

When the Heavenly Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty invaded, the 20 soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom, even if they lived and died together with the Dayue Kingdom as Mo Zhi said, would be nothing more than targets for the Musketeers of the Ming Dynasty.

beat?

How can you make money after working hard?

Moreover, Li Yimin knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for these 20 soldiers to live and die with him. When the heavenly soldiers arrived, they would surely disperse like birds and beasts, because of the lax military discipline.Li Yimin ordered many times not to loot the Ming ships flying the Beidou flag, but the looting still happened.

Li Yimin looked at Mo Zhi, thought for a while and said: "Mo Aiqing is loyal to the monarch and the heart of the country, I know it well, but this matter is all caused by me, Da Yue, so, let's hand over the sergeant who committed the crime to Daming, and Daming will decide how?"

"If you do something wrong, you should always have the attitude of doing something wrong."

Mo Zhi still refused to let go and said: "I still think that it is enough to just submit a letter of credence to explain the situation. Daming is not dead, and the ship is not lost! Only we have more than [-] soldiers dead!"

"I can't swallow this breath!"

After the Tokyo Bay robbery incident, the thirteen sergeants on the Daming ship faced an enemy several times larger than themselves, played steadily, destroyed two Annan ships, and killed 30 Annan sergeants.

In the final boarding battle, the outnumbered men tried their best to fight, and more than [-] crew members of the Ming Dynasty in the cabin were hijacked, so they had to be captured without a fight.

Sergeant Annan knew what he was doing, and he didn't dare to retaliate. He robbed the armaments and fled.

This low-intensity conflict ended with Annan killing [-] sergeants of the Yuntun Garrison, and Daming had zero casualties and his armaments were taken away.

Li Yimin frowned and said, "What does Mo Aiqing mean, Daming is to blame for this?"

Mo Zhi was a little embarrassed by this question, he shook his head and said, "No, it's actually because of the lax control of the Yuntun Guard."

The ships of the Ming Dynasty showed the Beidou flag and hung the navy flag, and waved the flag many times to show their identity. Before the battle, the ship of the Ming Dynasty even fired three warning shots.

Yuntun Thousand Households felt that the Daming ship had placed an order, and only then did they see Cai's intentions.

There are more than [-] ocean-covering ships in the Ming Dynasty to escort the armaments. The reason why this one was alone was because the trade wind changed at night, so it went to the vicinity of the Yuntun Supervision Department.

From beginning to end, Da Ming's ships were right.

When Li Yimin heard that Mo Zhi also admitted that it was not Daming's fault, he asked helplessly: "Mo Aiqing wants to lose the national honor, and the friends are shocked."

"Let all the countries say that I, Da Yue, really don't know how to be polite and rude, am I a real foreign barbarian?"

"I don't dare!" Mo Zhi's complexion changed drastically, he immediately fell to his knees and shouted loudly: "I have absolutely no such intention, Your Majesty."

Once things like national instrument, national character, and friendly nations are involved, it is a big deal for the twisted Dayue Kingdom.

The more you have nothing, the more you care about something.

Li Yimin waved his hand and said, "Then send 300 people from Yuntun Garrison to Daming, and hand them over to the Ming Army."

"Minister... obey the order." Mo Zhi was still not reconciled, but he still complied.

Tang Xing stood at the end of the hall, looking at this scene cheerfully. He had bought an official before and became a guard. He was a serious Li Dynasty military officer, the kind who could go to the hall.

Liu Pu looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, like an old monk in sedation, watching this scene without saying a word. Li Yimin defeated Mo Zhi with Guoyi and Guoge, which Mo Zhi cared about the most. The face you care about the most.

Li Yimin was able to secure his throne on the platform, he still had a good hand at fooling people, he kept the army firmly in his hands, so that he would not lose his throne.

"The armaments of this ship, together with the [-] troops of the Yuntun Garrison, will be escorted to Zhennan Pass and handed over to Daming." Li Yimin announced the result of the disposal. It is impossible to return it to Li Sicheng, so it is better to hand it over to Daming disposal.

"How is the formation of the Rising Dragon Army?" Li Yimin began to ask every day, asking about the progress of the Rising Dragon Army.

Liu Pu replied very positively: "Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned."

"Very good!" Li Yimin announced the dismissal of the court, and left the hall with disheveled hair.

Tang Xing said happily: "This boss has never thought about the arrival of the Great Tomorrow Army, what should he do? It seems that he cares about the Dragon Army, and he just asks casually every day."

"I've thought about it." Liu Pu said with certainty.

"How to do?"

Liu Pu looked around mysteriously, and then said in a low voice, "Surrender when your majesty comes down, you can't fight again."

"He's trying to make money now, that's the reason. If Daming doesn't come, the fourth brother may not be able to fight him. If Daming comes, he will directly open the city gate and surrender, and go to Daming to become a rich man."

"The palace servants in the Forbidden City said that Li Yimin had even practiced surrender a few days ago."

Tang Xing stared, and said in a daze: "Even the surrender was rehearsed in advance?"

Liu Pu shook his head and said: "He thought he would understand Daming after he went to Daming, and His Majesty after seeing His Majesty for the first time. He doesn't understand Daming, let alone Your Majesty. If you don't punish crimes, how can you appease the people? "

"Then what exactly is your Rising Dragon Army planning?" Tang Xing asked pretending not to care.

Liu Pu flicked his sleeves and said with a snort, "Ask knowingly."

Tang Xing is a serious commander of Jinyiwei, and he doesn't care about things in Daming, but in Jiaozhi, Tang Xing is in charge of the marquis of more than [-] people. Be clear!
