The Prosperous Era of Longwan

"this"

Soon, Zhang Juzheng watched Feng Bao's chanting, and his brows frowned.

"This matter has reached the degree after being elected. At this time, it is the case for Shan Lo?"

As Zhang Juzheng didn't think much, in recent days, he was used to the coldness of the world, and he was very sensitive to everything.

Emperor Wanli after choosing a big marriage is the most important thing in the court in the next year.

But all the progress is the last step, but Wei Guangde said that the emperor was young and was not suitable for big marriage. This was obviously to give him the first auxiliary eye medicine, saying that he considered it.

"Uncle Mo is anxious."

Feng Bao first saw the idea of ​​playing Shu Shu, but when he heard that Wei Guangde said, he didn't realize the problem at the beginning.

"This play is to be sent to the palace, and the two queen queen immediately summoned a good loan."

"What did he say?"

Hearing Feng Bao's words, Zhang Juzheng asked immediately.

"Good loan did not expect this festival at the beginning, but it was only discovered yesterday.

His son was a little smaller than the emperor. At that time, he was still considering that he also told his son and said that he was affinity, but he suddenly discovered the matter. "

Feng Bao laughed bitterly, and then looked at Zhang Juzheng, "There is no son in the miscellaneous family, you don't need to consider family affairs, how can you forget this stubble."

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and played Schili List the previous generation of emperors.

And the Emperor Wanli who planned the wedding of the Emperor Wanli, even if the time was postponed to the end of next year, the emperor was only fifteen years old, and the queen was getting old.

"Her Majesty has been selected?"

Zhang Juzheng did not take this stubble. He still thought about Wei Guangde's intentions and current solutions in his mind, but just acted casually.

"Sister Wang Xixi, both of them have recognized."

Feng Bao said, then remembered what, and added: "She is the daughter of Wang Wei, the deputy envoy of Wen Siyuan."

"Wen Siyuan Wang Wei?"

Zhang Juzheng heard that he would only frown slightly, and he had no impression of this Jiu Pin official.

After all, the grade is too far away.

Wen Siyuan was a production agency set up in the late Tang Dynasty and was set up during the Five Dynasties.

In the long -term historical evolution, the nature, functions, and official settings of Wensiyuan have undergone great changes. However, because the literature records are very small, few people have conducted in -depth research on it.

Wensiyuan was originally noticed, or because of the "Famen Temple Palace" incident that was extremely sensational in later generations. Among them, the inscriptions of "Wen Siyuan" were engraved from many gold and silver appliances in the Tang Dynasty. Not many research results.

Regarding the start time of the Wenzyuan, the historical records are very clear. In this way, look at Xiandai for eight years.

Books and other books such as "Tang Hui Yao" and "Chang'an Zhi" also have the same records. It can be seen that Tang Xuanzong's eight years of the construction time of Wenshiyuan should not have doubts.

In the Tang Dynasty, Wen Siyuan was a gold and silver inner court in the palace. The gold and silver wares created were also used back to the inner court. In the Song Dynasty in the Wen Siyuan in the Song Dynasty, it was a balance of weighing.

Before the Song Dynasty, Wen Siyuan was a department of the inner court, located in the Daming Palace, and the personnel were mainly charged with eunuchs.

After that, Wen Si Yuan also briefly renamed the "Culture Academy".

After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Gao Zong urged Nandu to create Caochuang. In the three years of Shaoxing, Wen Siyuan was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry by Shaofu. In the four years of Song Shenzong Xining, he merged the original return to Taifu Temple in Taifu Temple. Wen Siyuan.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Siyuan was extremely huge, but it was very different in Daming.

In the Ming Dynasty, the ambassadors and deputy ambassadors in the Ming Dynasty were low, and they were Zheng Jiu and Congjiu Pin. Its status was not the same as the Siwen Institute in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the official was used as a place of storage, and its grade depends on the sending officials. Ren Manchai supplement can be the Zhizhou or Miscellaneous Division, and the internal supplement is the monitor of the temple, or the secretary of the provincial official.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Siyuan lowered its status, and even used the craftsman as the deputy ambassador.

In addition, it is also explained that due to the fraud in the Ming Dynasty, due to the fraud in the Central officials, they extended their hands to the Wen Siyuan to interfere with their affairs, which caused a lot of reserved staff in the Wen Siyuan, the wealth of money, the corruption and theft, which caused great dissatisfaction in the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor ordered the elimination of redundant staff several times and rectified the hospital's affairs, but it could not fundamentally solve the problem.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it imitated the Ming system in many systems, but did not set up Wen Siyuan again.

Therefore, in the future, many people do not know that the court still has such a department.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng just nodded slightly, and he had a care in his heart.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to say.

"Since good loans have found a problem, how did you say that he entered the palace today in the palace, he should always have a way to turn it."

Zhang Juzheng thought that Wei Guangde was human and was anxious. Many times he could think of some ways, and often he could see blood, which was quite effective.

During this time, Zhang Ju didn't expect any good way.

In his opinion, although Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has formulated men and women for marriage and appropriate age, after all, it is aimed at the subjects and does not involve the heavenly family. It will be explained on the grounds of this reason.

It was just that after the wedding of the Emperor Wanli, the emperor and the queen had to ask the two maids of the harem to restrict them a little.

Now that I want to come, the little emperor is indeed younger.

Waiting for another two years, it is actually more appropriate.

"The proposal of good loan to this is that Najib and Na Zhengyi can continue, but after a short period of time, it is best to wait for the emperor to be at the age of sixteen."

"No, too long, I am afraid that it will be criticized."

When Feng Baogang started, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly stopped.

"Uncle, you listen to me, there are more big things to do in the past two years."

Feng Bao just glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and then said positive.

After Zhang Juzheng frowned, Feng Bao continued slowly: "The proposal of good loan is to let the Nanhai Marine Division go down to the West and invite the Lord of the Fan and State to participate in the emperor's wedding.

Since Yongle, how long has Daming have not appeared in the event of all the come from the DPRK. "

"The country is coming to the DPRK?"

Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth a little surprised. He had already understood the reason for the period when the emperor's wedding was delayed.

For the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether the Western countries are still submitting to Daming, at least they have come to the Daming Dynasty, even if they are the country of vanity of Daming.

Now it is appropriate to catch up with Emperor Daming's marriage.

However, Zhang Juzheng needs to consider whether the gang of vanity will come as appointment.

You know, Daming's national strength is not as good as in the past. Although his new policy is to recover the scenery of Yongle, he also knows that after all, the national strength is still much weaker than.

Feng Bao seemed to see Zhang Juzheng's hesitation, and continued: "At the very at least, I just destroyed Myanmar, and the Nanyang nations should understand how to do it."

On the way, Feng Bao also thought about this problem. The Western countries did not say that at least the Nanyang nations would not be absent.

The army is still in Myanmar, and does not want to be the second Burmese king, so it is the right way to come to the Daming Dynasty.

In this way, with the Nanyang and other vassal states, although the momentum is not as powerful as the western and Nanyang nations and messengers gathered in the moment of Yongle, at least it will not look ashamed.

Moreover, the Nanyang Marine Division of Daming today has a well -deserved power travel at the current situation.

If the South China Sea Marine Division is elite and inspected the Western in the Western, the powerful martial arts should let the Western countries see that Daming's strength is no less than that year, and they should understand what they do.

Thinking of this, Feng Bao immediately said he judged: "If I guess well, good loan returns to send me the strongest sea bear market in Daming to inspect the western countries. You should know that you have the benefit of my Ming. "

"Brother Shuanglin, I don't worry about the western countries that will not come, but they are troublesome when they are all coming."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng said so.

"Today, my Ming court has insufficient financial resources, and it is difficult to cope with so much tribute.

At that time, Xia Yuanjiagong and others opposed the west, because they saw the great pressure of seeing the tribute trade in the court's finances. "

At this time, Zhang Juzheng began to complain.

Now Daming's fiscal situation is really unwilling to open this mouth.

The method is good, but it costs too much.

unless

Zhang Juzheng was in his heart, but after Feng Bao away, he still had to write a strip to Wei Guangde to explain the most important point.

"In this matter, good loans have an idea. His method is to transport the storage of things accumulated in Jiangnan Mansion to the West to sell it. The money obtained is used to pay for this tribute."

Just didn't wait for Zhang Juzheng to act, Feng Bao said that Wei Guangde's approach came.

"If so, it is a good thing."

Zhang Juzheng became happy right away, and there was no concern at all.

In fact, there was a reason for the court of the early Ming Dynasty to work together to oppose the west, that is, the court lost money and lost very much.

But please note that this loss is "court", not "Daming".

In fact, according to the calculations of later generations, Zheng He's fleet of the West, during the seven voyages activities, brought back a total of more than 727,400 gold and more than 1,276,4400 silver Essence

This number is not Hu Yan, but the number clearly recorded in the Mingxianzong Record.

"Lin Xiuzhan, the eunuch of the inheritance of the Library, has collected more than 727,400 gold and more than 7.44 million silver. , But more than 2.4 million and more than two hundred and nine hundred. "

In fact, the emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua had no money, so that the inner court collected the number calculated by the Western harvest search.

This is just the gold and silver income of the inner library. It does not include valuables such as strange treasures and spices.

This is also Zhu Jian Shen, as his son, and always thinking about why his old father, the Emperor Yingzong, persistently wanted to go to the West.

Of course, the Daming court also needed huge sums of money to build a ship for the fleet, and this expenditure was as high as millions.

In the later generations, some people felt that going to the West was to preach the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty gave a lot of money jewelry to Western countries, and the Western Messenger followed the fleet to China. property.

Not only that, the court had to spend a lot of money to maintain Zheng He's fleet, so Zheng He's voyages to the West were purely a loss-making business to earn a reputation, and the ministers were certainly not happy.

However, this statement is only half right. In fact, Zheng He's voyages to the West made money.

During the Yongle period, five expeditions to the north of the desert, the relocation of the capital to Beijing and the repair of the Forbidden City, the compilation of the "Yongle Encyclopedia", the six voyages to the West by Zheng He, the dredging of the North-South Canal, the southern expedition to Annan, the management of Hami, and the establishment of Guizhou Province all cost money, but Zhu Di did all these things during the 22 years he was emperor, which shows that he had enough money.

As for where the money came from, it was naturally the huge profits made by Zheng He's fleet every time it went to sea.

However, this income did not go into the court, but went directly into the emperor's private treasury.

After all, Zheng He was a eunuch, he worked for his own master, and the profits naturally belonged to the emperor.

So there was such a scene. The court spent a huge amount of money on Zheng He's fleet, but did not earn much. On the contrary, because of the foreigners he brought back, the court suffered huge losses in the tribute trade, but only earned enough face.

The income went into the inner treasury, and the court officials could not see it at all, let alone replenish blood.

This is why the Ming court officials opposed the voyage to the West. The tribute trade was a blood loss.

Before, eunuchs represented the Ming Dynasty on diplomatic missions, and the income went into the inner court.

This time, Wei Guangde seemed to plan to let the South China Sea Navy be the main force, and the income would all go to the court. There was a lot of interest involved.

Although the income from this mission is likely to fall mostly to the Ministry of War, the six ministries will have some share of the spoils, the only difference is the amount.

At least, the Ministry of Revenue should not lose money, but will make a lot of money.

At the same time, there is a sufficient reason to postpone the time of the emperor's wedding, which is really a good situation.

"Brother Shuanglin, I am still in mourning, so I will not submit a memorial. Please go back to the palace to report to the two Empress Dowagers and His Majesty. I fully support this matter.

It should be fine if Shandai presides over it, so you can do it with confidence."

Zhang Juzheng immediately expressed his opinion.

"Is there no problem with this?"

Feng Bao also read books, but after all, it was more than a hundred years ago, so how could he know the huge economic benefits contained in it.

It was just instinctive that Feng Bao noticed that Zhang Juzheng's attitude had changed, but he couldn't figure it out.

But no matter what, Wei Guangde's method had been supported by Zhang Juzheng, so he could go back to the palace to report.

After sending Feng Bao away, Zhang Juzheng also received a note from the Ministry of Revenue, which was written by Li Youzi, the Minister.

His performance in this "love-stealing" incident has won Zhang Juzheng's trust, and he is planning a position of Shangshu for him.

And the content of the note, if it had been before, Zhang Juzheng would have been puzzled.

But now after Feng Bao's explanation, Zhang Juzheng understood what it meant to ask the Ministry of Revenue to check the account books, which was to prepare the goods for the voyage to the West.

There is no doubt that Zhang Juzheng's reply to Li Youzi asked him to fully support Wei Guangde's decision and to inform Wang Guoguang and others.

On the way back, Feng Bao was still frowning and thinking about why Zhang and Wei reached a consensus again. It was really strange.

These two people, to the outside world, acted as if they had different political views, but they often had the same views in their hearts.

Their performance could fool others, but not Feng Bao. (End of this chapter)
