To implement the New Deal, there are so many facts that need to be dealt with.
Reports from all over the country came like snowflakes.
Prince Zhu Gaochi is at his busiest at this time, and all the princes of Wenyuan Pavilion have their feet on the ground.
Fortunately, the prince is assisted by a great scholar, and the great scholar is assisted by many others, so everything is in good order.
At this time, a group of new people were welcomed into Wenyuan Pavilion. Most of these people were outstanding graduates from various universities. They were later assigned to serve as civil servants in various prefectures and counties. After hard training, they entered Wenyuan
Pavilion.
They have the status of a layman, and their nature is still that of a civil servant. Their responsibilities include contacting various ministries, conveying decrees, and assisting the university in drafting votes. Of course, more often than not, they still make suggestions and prepare for inquiries.
This is also what Zhu Gaochi meant.
The New Deal is being implemented all over the country. Most of the memorials from all over the world are related to the New Deal. Some are about railways, some are about commercial taxation, and some are related to workshops, postal services, etc.
In fact, not only the original scholars did not understand these reports, but they were also very blind. Even the academicians were completely blind.
Therefore, after careful selection, a full 112 civil servants from various prefectures and counties directly under the Central Government, as well as from the Railway Department, Postal Department, or the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of Railways entered the center and became Shiren.
One of them, Zhang Anshi, felt familiar, so he called him over and said, "What's your name?"
"Your Highness, student Xia Xuan."
Hearing this name, Zhang Anshi suddenly thought of it and couldn't help but say: "Look at my memory, I am the son of Duke Xia, and he made military exploits last time. I didn't expect you to come to Wenyuan Pavilion. How is it? Are you used to it?
?”
Xia Xuan said: "Your Highness, I'm quite used to it."
Zhang Anshi then said: "Your father is old, and now he has made a comeback and became the Minister of Education. Don't let him down."
Xia Xuan said: "Yes."
Zhang Anshi said: "By the way, draft a report to this king."
Xia Xuan nodded, immediately took out the motherboard and started recording.
Zhang Anshi clasped his hands behind his back, thought for a while and then said: "My minister Zhang Anshi said... The king of Japan and the king of Korea are the vassal screen of our Ming Dynasty. It is called a foreign country, but it is actually the country of father and son. Now that our Ming Dynasty is in peace, it is necessary to summon the two kings to Beijing for an audience.
All expenses along the way will be paid by the court..."
Xia Xuan wrote it down and then said: "Then the student went to draft it."
Zhang Anshi nodded and said, "Go ahead. After you finish writing it, give it to me to take a look."
Xia Xuan left in a hurry.
This memorial was quickly delivered to the prince's hands.
But when Prince Zhu Gaochi saw it, he frowned with a thoughtful look on his face.
The last conversation was still vivid in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, I never thought that Zhang Anshi had changed from his previous appearance and was actually very friendly to Korea and Japan, and he praised Japan and Korea fiercely.
Speaking of which, it is fair to say that the Korean state was submissive, but the Japanese state... was not entirely the case.
If the two kings are summoned to the capital again, and these two kings actually come to meet him and show great respect, then...the imperial court will have no way to put forward harsh conditions.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. You can't be so cruel as to imitate King Qin and deceive the King of Chu into Xianyang, put him under house arrest, and then attack Chu.
If we continue to be so friendly and the relationship becomes even closer, then... we had previously planned to make the fiefdoms of Japan and Korea...
After careful consideration, Prince Zhu Gaochi still raised his pen without hesitation and approved the proposal.
So the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple got busy, quickly sending out envoys to read out the Ming Dynasty's decree, and making preparations for the possible arrival of the two kings in Beijing.
Zhang Anshi seemed to have forgotten all about it very quickly and never mentioned it again.
There are too many memorials to deal with these days.
Every now and then, new memorials arrive. Today, a certain official is pleading to clean up the silt in the river in the west of the city, thinking it is an eyesore.
A few days later, someone came forward again, saying that the illegal harvesting of trees in the west of the city was too serious and needed to be severely punished.
It seems that Yulinwei in the west of the city has suddenly become a very popular place, and it can always attract the attention of these courtiers and princes.
Even those who have never experienced this kind of practice probably know that the west part of the city is a geomantic treasure.
Therefore, many merchants began to improvise and wanted to do some 'business' near the west of the city.
But before the deal was done, they soon came back frustrated, because... then they realized that this deal... was no longer theirs.
Most of the land in the west of the city, surrounding the mansions built there, is in the hands of Qixia Trading Company.
At the end of the year, someone came to play again.
The king of Korea and the king of Japan all set off, and the Ming Dynasty's fleet went to greet him in person. After crossing the ocean, they would soon set foot in China.
This news came out, which is actually not surprising.
The King of Korea has always been relatively submissive, but since the Ming Dynasty has summoned him, he dare not not come.
But the Japanese kings canonized by the imperial court were different.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates had begun to appear in the southeast, robbing and killing wantonly.
Emperor Taizu Gao was furious, so he planned to join forces with the Japanese king and launch a flanking offensive against the Japanese pirates.
So in the second year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao sent envoys to Japan.
The reigning Japanese king at that time was named Huai Liang. When the Ming Dynasty envoys arrived in Japan, Huai Liang refused to recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty. He imprisoned seven envoys and later executed five of them, leaving only two envoys, Yang Zai and Wu Wenhua.
.
Later, when he learned that the Ming Dynasty had completely wiped out the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and shocked the world, the Japanese king immediately sent envoys to return the imprisoned Ming envoys, and in order to express his apology, he also returned some of the things that had been plundered by the Japanese pirates.
People of the Ming Dynasty.
But he showed no cooperation in the extermination of Japanese pirates.
Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the small vassal state dared to disobey his superiors, so he sent envoys to confront Huai Liang and threatened that the Ming army was ready to cross the sea to attack at any time.
The Japanese king was unmoved and wrote a letter of submission to the envoy to take back to Nanjing.
His original words are: The Japanese who live far away and are weak... still have a heart of contentment... Your Majesty, as the master of China... always wants to exterminate. Even though the Ming Dynasty has elite soldiers and generals, I have Confucius and Mencius in my essays, and Sun Yat-sen in my essays on martial arts.
Wu, your majesty has raised up an elite army to invade the territory of the vassal state. As far as the Japanese country is concerned, obeying the Japanese will not necessarily lead to their survival, and going against the Japanese will not mean their death...
In fact, even the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were a little confused after reading this letter.
The weapons used by the Japanese country to resist the Ming Dynasty were actually based on the learning of Confucius and Mencius in literature and the military techniques of Sun Tzu and Wu Qi in military affairs.
But at this time, when the certificate of credence was sent back to Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had already dissipated. He was not very interested in conquering the far away Japanese country. In the end, he chose Huairou, re-canonized the Japanese king, and transferred the Japanese country to the throne.
Listed as a country without conquest.
This was not because he thought it would be troublesome to cross the sea, which caused Emperor Taizu Gao to have doubts. But judging from the various words and deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao during his lifetime, in his opinion, the most serious troubles of the Ming Dynasty were always in the north, and no matter the rest, they were in the north.
Japanese pirates, or chieftains in the southwestern frontier, will always be plagued by ringworm and scabies. Even when they were about to die, they reiterated this point again and again in their edicts, teaching their descendants to remember that they should not waste national resources easily, but should focus their energy on
On the surveillance and division of the alien races in the north.
The current king of Japan is actually Ashikaga Yoshitaka.
Of course, this king's statement is actually not accurate. In terms of his true identity, Ashikaga Yoshitsune should be the sixth-generation shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate of Japan.
But this general controlled almost all the power in the Japanese country.
After the shogun took control of Japan, he monopolized diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty and claimed to be the master of Japan.
As for Ming Dynasty, he actually didn't bother to pay attention to the reputation here. It didn't belong to his own family anyway. He just had to have someone who made the decision. He just issued the Japanese King's gold seal as usual.
In total, Ashikaga Yoshitsune should be the leader of the resurgence of the shogunate. After he succeeded his brother and became the General of the Conquest of the Barbarians, he immediately began to strictly order other daimyo not to interact with the Ming Dynasty in private and monopolize trade power.
At the same time, the power of the shogunate was continuously strengthened and the monks were attacked!
In just ten years, the power of the Muromachi shogunate has reached unprecedented levels.
As an insightful leader, Ashikaga Yoshitsune is by no means ignorant of the changes taking place outside. In fact, he knows better than anyone else that huge changes have taken place overseas. The Ming Dynasty merchant ships entering and leaving Kyoto waters have become larger and larger in size.
It is getting bigger and bigger, and the styles are getting more and more novel, which has already aroused the vigilance of Ashikaga Yoshitaka.
This time he came across the sea not only to test the depth of the Ming Dynasty, but also to personally explore the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the Ming court had summoned him, so he had to come at this time. Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshitaka was of course convinced that the Ming Dynasty would definitely not kill the envoys and take any measures against him, the general who conquered the barbarians.
This time, the Japanese envoy was particularly large, probably because the general went there in person.
What they boarded was the Ming Dynasty's fleet that met them.
As soon as he saw this ship, Ashikaga Yoshitsune was shocked. Such a large-scale ship gave him a huge impact.
Immediately afterwards, the journey across the sea was uneventful, except that his mood could not calm down for a long time.
When he was about to enter Songjiangkou Port, he was almost dazzled and started a new round of shock.
You know, on this route, every now and then, you can see ships flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty coming in and out. The cargoes loaded with them are countless. The huge Huating Port is full of people, connecting to the ships entering the inland river.
Start leading them up the river.
In the past few decades, the entire Japanese envoy had almost no time to see the scenery and customs.
Because what they saw and heard exceeded their knowledge.
What was even more terrifying was that when they arrived in Zhili and saw with their own eyes the steel monsters roaring and running on the railway tracks, one can imagine the shock.
The nobles and warriors who came with them had always considered themselves to be of noble status. Seeing these things that they had never seen before, they, who were previously proud, fell silent.
At this time, Zhang Anshi, the king of the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty, was ordered to personally welcome Ashikaga Yoshitaka and others into the city.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune met Zhang Anshi.
When they greeted each other, Zhang Anshi was particularly enthusiastic and exchanged greetings.
Although Ashikaga Yoshitaka is not a Chinese, he is very proficient in Chinese. To be precise, everyone has almost the same educational background. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshitsune, or the nobles and samurai of the Japanese country, everyone came from Yaya.
As soon as I started learning Chinese, I started to learn Chinese, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and studied Confucius and Mencius. However, Ashikaga Gi taught better, and Zhang Anshi was known to be a scumbag and a dabbler.
After some polite greetings, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has been looking forward to your coming..."
Just after he said these words, Zuoli Yijiao said: "His Royal Highness the King of Song, I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor... is physically ill?"
Ashikaga Yoshitsune was smiling brightly, but he directly raised a very sensitive question.
He originally thought that calling him here was the intention of the Ming Emperor, but now he vaguely felt that it might be related to the Ming Prince.
Of course, the current prince is already the prince of the state, and he also holds huge power, and is not much different from the Ming emperor.
It's just that... at this juncture, the sensitive Ashikaga Yoshitsune thought that Nanjing City might become a place of right and wrong, so he couldn't help but be a little cautious.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in good health, but he rarely interferes with secular affairs recently."
Ashikaga Yoshitsune saw that Zhang Anshi's expression didn't look fake, but it was obvious that he would not believe this argument easily, but he did not raise any more questions.
Ashikaga Yoshitsune said with a smile: "This visit to China has opened my eyes. Only then did I realize that the prosperity of China's products is definitely not comparable to that of our country."
Zhang Anshi said politely: "Your Highness Ashikaga is serious. Actually... what does this have to do with the prosperity of products? In the final analysis... it is just the result of the New Deal."
Ashikaga Yoshitsune was not surprised by these words. He had heard a lot about the New Deal along the way.
Now that Zhang Anshi took the initiative to mention it, he gradually became more interested.
He was the leader of the Zhongxing Dynasty, and he was by no means a mediocre person. After ascending to the position of general, he spent almost ten years trying to strengthen the authority of the shogunate in the Japanese country.
But now, he suddenly realized that compared with this Ming Dynasty, it really pales into insignificance.
Now that I think about it more carefully, what I have done with so much thought is actually quite ridiculous.
It's like you learned to drive from someone else, and worked hard to buy a Charade. You thought that as long as you practiced hard, you could become a driving expert. After ten years of hard work, you finally managed to beat the opponent.
Through study, I have developed a whole set of skills.
So I really wanted to test the teacher's proficiency, just like you excitedly driving the seven-hand Xiali onto the track. Although the performance of the other party may be better than yours, I learned from Ming Dynasty's "Confucius and Mencius" and "Sun Wu".
If you work harder, you may not lose much.
As a result, just when you were complacent and thought you were about to achieve success, the other party... just pressed a button, and his car... flew up.
Yes, it has taken off because... their version... has been updated again.
…
Recently, because I was too busy and tired, Tiger's toothache recurred and his face became swollen. This kind of pain can only be felt by those who have experienced it. Therefore, the recent updates are occasionally unsatisfactory. I hope everyone can understand me. Thank you.
