The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The Japanese bear corvée? !

This seems to be a good choice.

Zhu Houzhao and Yang Tinghe looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

These Japanese are not human beings. For the Ming Dynasty, to use an appropriate word, they are "criminals"!

Because they are guilty, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to attack and completely destroy their ruling center, directly turning them into a colony of the Ming Dynasty!

Since they are criminals, they are equivalent to slaves, similar to the lowly people in the Ming Dynasty. Using them to bear corvée is undoubtedly an excellent choice!

Moreover, the Japanese slaves bear corvée and hard labor, which will liberate the people who are forced to bear corvée. They can farm at home peacefully. The people do not have to bear the hardship of corvée, and naturally they will not be dissatisfied with the court. This is a good thing for the court to win the hearts of the people!

Only Zhu Youlang's face changed slightly. He looked at Yang Tinghe tentatively and found that the chief minister of the cabinet did not oppose the practice of Zhongshan Hou.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Tang, such an act will probably cause an uproar in the world!"

"Plundering people as slaves is inconsistent with Confucianism and violates the way of saints. Once it is publicized, it will probably cause an uproar!"

Zhu Youyu was not speaking for the Japanese. In fact, the life and death of the Japanese had nothing to do with Zhu Youyu.

On the contrary, Zhu Youyu was reminding Tang Hao and Zhu Houzhao that doing so could easily damage their reputation.

Well, Marquis Zhongshan is notorious and notorious, there is nothing to say.

But His Majesty is different. Tang Hao's proposal is undoubtedly a colonialist idea, which is very different from Confucianism. If those gentry and gentry seize this matter to make trouble, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble at that time.

But Tang Hao smiled indifferently when he heard it.

"Is it wrong if it is not in line with Confucianism?"

"Besides, it is against the way of the saints. Haven't the gentry always been doing this kind of thing?"

Tang Hao sneered: "All the nobles in the court, all the nobles, who doesn't have a large number of servants and maids who have become slaves?"

"Are these servants and maids not Han people, not the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Since slaves can be bought and sold, and the gentry are accustomed to it, why can't these Japanese criminals be bought and sold, and can't they be used to perform corvée labor?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Tinghe's face also sank, and he had no way to refute it.

How to refute it?

He has several servants and maids in his family!

This has long been a common thing in the Ming Dynasty.

The problem lies here.

The way of the saints is to promote benevolence and forgiveness, and to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, in the matter of buying and selling slaves, Confucianism has already lost. No matter how good the gentry is to the servants in the mansion, it cannot change the nature of these servants and maids as slaves. From the moment they put their fingerprints on the contract of sale, they are already slaves.

Since even the people of the Ming Dynasty can be bought and sold and can be regarded as slaves, why can't the Japanese criminals be treated the same way?

Could it be that these Japanese criminals are more noble than the people of the Ming Dynasty?

If anyone dares to say so, then this person will instantly lose his reputation and become notorious, and he will be drowned by spit when he goes out!

In addition, most slaves and maids actually live worse than the pets of rich families, that is, "the rich have wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road", this phenomenon has always existed.

You can't buy and sell people just for your own enjoyment, but it's not the court's turn. Moreover, the court is not selling people, but forcing some Japanese criminals to bear hard labor. They are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, so why is it not okay?

If this logic doesn't make sense, then unless there is no slavery in the Ming Dynasty, the court will announce the direct abolition of slavery, liberate this miserable group, and all people in the world will be equal.

But how is this possible?

If all people are equal, who will serve these gentry masters who only know how to read and write?

They have always believed in "gentlemen stay away from the kitchen", and they can't even cook, are they going to starve to death?

So, this is the essence of decadent Confucianism. On the surface, it advocates benevolence and righteousness and promotes morality and etiquette, but in reality it hides the flies and dogs. It's just a bright and beautiful coat. Once this coat is torn off, you can't see it inside.

These great principles of Confucianism, these ways of sages, in fact, no one can do them. If they can't do them, they can't say they can't do them. They can only slowly become hypocrites who say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. The ways of sages they talk about have become the best weapon for these people to restrain the emperor and attack others!

This is the decadent Confucianism!

This is the children of the orthodox teachings!

Yang Tinghe didn't say anything and chose to remain silent.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "That's really the case!"

"Since you're a whore, why do you want to set up a memorial archway?"

"If anyone dares to object, I will order the servants and maids in his house to be dismissed. I want to see how these officials and gentlemen can continue to clamor for "the way of sages" without these servants to serve them!"

This time, Yang Tinghe finally reacted.

Because he felt that His Majesty the Emperor had learned bad things from the Marquis of Zhongshan, saying all kinds of dirty words and vulgar words, without any imperial majesty.

"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

"For the people, they don't have to bear the suffering of corvée anymore, and they wish it was so."

"As far as the country is concerned, the corvee has not been reduced. On the contrary, if all these young laborers are released, the Ming Dynasty will have more people, and then the grain output will naturally be greatly increased, which will be of great benefit to the national strength... …”

The benefits of this strategy can be understood by everyone present.

The only difficulty is that if the court does this, some gentry and gentry will definitely clamor, but as long as Yang Tinghe has no objection, their clamor will be of no use.

After all, Yang Tinghe, the leader of the Jin gentry, is not just a decoration, not to mention that Tang Hao also gave him a Shijian silver mine to establish his prestige. I think with Yang Tinghe's ability and means, he will not be able to solve such a small problem.

After this strategy was adopted, the four people continued to discuss some national policies and confirmed some details. Today's discussion ended here.

Tang Hao was the last to leave, and Zhu Houzhao deliberately kept him.

"Savage, can Yang Tinghe really believe this?"

Zhu Houzhao asked with suspicion: "Are you sure he won't backstab me again?"

"Probably not, because it makes no sense!"

Tang Hao explained patiently: "The last time Yang Tinghe stabbed us in the back, the purpose was to prevent the clan kings from entering the dynasty and taking power. In Yang Tinghe's view, this would create hidden dangers for future generations. After all, no one can guarantee that they will sit on the dragon throne." The Ming emperor above has always been very wise. If there is a foolish emperor, the clan princes will most likely take the opportunity to cause chaos. "

"After all, these clan kings also have the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, and they can also sit on the throne, so Yang Tinghe's concern is not unreasonable!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and reluctantly agreed with this statement.

"I have reached a cooperation with him and given him an Iwami Silver Mine to integrate the power of civil servants and gentry, and then use Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao to eliminate those corrupt and bribery dogs in the court. Then we can deal with the officials Let’s start clarifying the officialdom!”

Zhu Houzhao smiled happily after hearing this.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"How is the situation in the Fifth Mansion? Has Yang Yiqing made a statement?"

"Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe are the same. They are both loyal and virtuous people with public intentions greater than selfishness."

Tang Hao sincerely praised: "Although this old guy Yang Yiqing is unpleasant to speak and has a stubborn personality, after I talked with him, this old guy still understands the righteousness and chooses to fully cooperate in the reconstruction of the Five Prefectures, even if his military department will lose a person as a result. Even Yang Yiqing doesn’t care about most of the power.”

"On the contrary, what Yang Yiqing really cares about is whether I can stabilize the situation or whether it will cause chaos in the world!"

Zhu Houzhao was silent after hearing this, and then sighed heavily.

"It seems that the court is not full of civil servants and gentry who are bent on personal gain. Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing are very good!"

"Of course, there have been virtuous and loyal people throughout the dynasties, but the biggest problem actually lies with the emperor!"

Tang Hao said this sentence expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately yelled angrily: "Damn savage, shut up!"

As soon as Tang Hao opened his mouth, Zhu Houzhao knew that this bastard wanted to ridicule his own father, Emperor Hongzhi again.

"Get out of here and go about your business!"

Tang Hao chuckled and nodded, then turned and left.

Returning to the Dongguanting Camp, Tang Hao fell into deep thought slightly tiredly.

At this time, Zuo Yidao brought good news.

"Master Marquis, Jin Yiwei reported secretly that North Korea has agreed to trade in the East China Sea!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao smiled.

I don't think it's too surprising.

This is a secret letter from Tang Mu, which records in detail this Korean "disaster".

After Cui Tan returned to Beijing, he immediately went to visit the speculator Shen Zhen, and then led by Shen Zhen to the palace overnight to meet with the North Korean King Li Yi. After some persuasion, Li Yi found it difficult to give up the huge profits from trade with the Ming Dynasty. , so that night Cui Tan was appointed to lead the palace imperial army to take action!

Cui Tan used Zhao Guangzu and others to "make friends with each other, join those who are attached to oneself, reject those who are not the same, rely on each other's power, seize power, make false accusations for personal gain, show no scruples, seduce those who are behind, provoke others into a habit, and use petty insults." On the grounds that "the lowly is hindering the noble, causing the country's power to be reversed and the government to be deteriorating", he arrested counselor Li Cui, Xingcao Jin Jing, Chief Xian Zhao Guangzu, Chief Cheng Jinshi, Deputy Tixue Jin Ye, and Du Cheng overnight. Leaders of the Shilin sect include Yoo In-sook, deputy chief minister Park Se-hee on the left, Hong Yeon-pil, deputy chief minister right, and Park Hoon, deputy chief minister.

Li Yi even directly prepared to execute Zhao Guangzu and others, but was opposed by Li Changkun, An Tang, and Zheng Guangbi. Thousands of Confucian scholars from Sungkyunkwan also complained for Zhao Guangzu and others at Gwanghwamun. Li Yi had to temporarily exile Zhao Guangzu to Lingzhou to wait for him. Immediately after leaving Beijing, they were sentenced to death on the way; in addition, Jin Jing, Qi Zun, Han Zhong, and Jin Shi were also exiled and were sentenced to death or committed suicide soon after; Jin Zhen, Park Shixi, Park Xun, Hong Yanbi, Li Tao, and Liu Insook Dozens of others were exiled, and An Tang, Jin Anguo, and Jin Zhengguo, who had protected them, were dismissed from office.

Since then, Li Yi has bloodbathed the Shilin sect above the court, and the old forces have once again been in power.

And because Cui Tan personally led the army to massacre the entire Shilin sect, and because Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao promised to only recognize him, this famous Goryeo official who had been marginalized finally officially entered the center of power in North Korea and became the leader of North Korea. The leader of the old Xun forces suppressed Nangun, Shen Zhen, Hong Jingzhou and others.

After the internal problems were completely solved, Cui Tan did not forget how he got his power today, so he immediately reported to Li Yi and requested to conduct East China Sea trade with the Ming Dynasty. Li Yi ordered Cui Tan to be fully responsible for this matter.

Cui Tan then visited Jeju Island again and determined the trade process and specific matters with Tang Mu who was in charge there. Since then, the East China Sea trade has officially started.

After reading the secret letter, Tang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

It's worth his planning for so long!

East China Sea trade will become a carriage to drive the development and transformation of the Ming Dynasty!

As for the Japanese criminals, they are another carriage to change the Ming Dynasty!
