Chapter 158

Li Dongyang was suddenly stunned by Yang Ling’s words. At this moment, even he, even in front of his colleagues, did not dare to evaluate Bahu and Jiaofang so brazenly. Yangling, as a party of Bahu and Jiaofang, dare So blunt in front of him, can he be crazy?

Li Dongyang’s face was uncertain, and for a while Fang chuckled a little: “Master Yang speaks like this, aren’t you afraid that the people in the inner court and Jiao University will turn against you?”

Yang Ling smiled and said, “Master Li is not afraid of being treated as a villain or a provocative villain, even if he knows it with them.”

Li Dongyang was stunned and suddenly laughed. Yang Ling smiled at each other: Since the two were talking in the darkroom, no matter what the heart was, it was impossible for these words to be passed as evidence to affect their reputation and official authority. Yang Ling can be honest and open, and Li Dongyang naturally no longer has to worry about it.

Sure enough, Li Dongyang laughed smoothly and stroked his hand: “To this day, I can still hear such free and easy words, especially from the mouth of Master Yang, which actually surprised the old man. What purpose did Master Yang visit today? Tell me. “

Yang Ling smiled and said, “Righteous justice, in the final analysis, is only for the benefit. This benefit is divided into the benefits of the mountains, the people, and the individual. The Xiaguan came to see the adults today, just to make money for the court, The people make a profit. “

Li Dongyang’s eyes narrowed, and he stared at him: “How do you say this, Master Yang?”

Yang Ling took a long breath and said, “Xiaguan returned from Jiangnan. He felt that Jiangnan has been rich and prosperous since ancient times. There can be no progress in the fields alone. Although there are many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many exquisite things, but only gentry and wealthy people everywhere can afford it. Constrained by this, the common people have limited benefits.

Furthermore. The Japanese pirates were raging along the coast. Although they did not suffer from it, the Ming people were often disturbed by them. The court stationed heavily on the coast and passively defended everywhere. However, the defense was unpredictable. The army was very expensive, but it could not save the coastal people from fire and water. All kinds of ills are caused by the sea ban.

Xiaguan thought that if the ban on trade was opened, the roots of the pirates could be eliminated, the illegal private traders would no longer have any place, the imperial court could increase a large amount of taxes, and the people of Li Min could benefit from it. Why not do it? “

Li Dongyang was shocked. He only said that Yang Ling is now in power and wants to achieve some political achievements to establish prestige, but he did not expect him to choose such a difficult path.

Lifting trade bans may not be a flawless medicine, but it has many advantages over sea bans. He presided over North Korea for many years and stood at the highest position. The joints were clearly understood, but he wanted to implement this policy. But it is the resistance of the government and the opposition.

Even when he and Liu Xie presided over the dynasty, they won the trust of Emperor Hongzhi, and they knew that if they tried hard to persuade the emperor to lift the ban on business, it would be difficult to set off.

Li Dongyang and Liu Xie talked privately about the politics of the DPRK, thinking about the intricate joints in the sea ban, and couldn’t help shaking their heads, thinking that lifting the sea ban was far away.

Although they are hardworking and capable men, they can’t think of them more than fifty years later. It has become a matter of urgency to completely lift the sea ban, and with the unanimous support of the parties and the government, it was successfully implemented in the Ming court. It was only a matter of state governance. The effect of taking one step before the other is really a world of difference.

Li Dongyang lowered his eyes and gently raised his cup to close his lips, pondering silently.

Yang Ling knew he had to digest his own words. It is also necessary to speculate on their true intentions. It is to wait quietly without urging. After a while. Li Dongyang took a sip of the tea lightly, put down the cup, and smiled: “Master Yang thought that it would be a good medicine to lift the ban on the sea and strengthen the country and the people.”

Yang Ling sincerely said: “Adults, there are more than one way to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but it is a good way to lift the ban on commerce and trade. The sea is there and the sea line stretches for thousands of miles. Sino-foreign trade has always been difficult to ban.

Those who build the brig can only cut my Daming people, and the sea ban can only ban me Daming people. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, the ocean is like a cornucopia. Because the Japanese pirates caused chaos and abandoned the cash cow, the business was unreasonable and the merchants lost their physiology, so they turned into thieves.

How are the signs of pirate rampage now compared to the beginning of the sea ban? It’s getting stronger. The interests of various industries are therefore stolen, and the interests of the good people are also stolen. The adults have been in the cabinet for many years, so they are all over the world. They are very familiar with the eyes and eyes. They should know that most of the so-called pirates are my ordinary people.

It is a sin to force the good to steal, and to defeat the enemy is a merit. It takes the coastal officials to deer as horses and cover up the facts. Both Kou and Shang are human beings, and they all come for profit. Shitong then turns Kou into a business, and the city ban turns it into a Kou. The sea ban is not lifted for one day, and the scourge always exists.

Nowadays, the tributary trade is limited to the court, which is why private trade is prevalent. The smuggling of the merchants and gentry families along the coast is very rampant. If the sea ban is lifted, the stubborn pirates will be removed and used to allow the people to go to the sea and trade in the west and east. Not only can accidents vanish, but as an opportunity, it can also prosper the people and prosper the country. Why not do it? “

Li Dongyang looked at Yang Ling and listened to his talk. He showed a sense of regret and anxiety. He felt a little touch in his heart. The person in front of him may be good at tricks or flattering the king, but it may not necessarily serve the court and benefit the people. .

If he is really greedy for power, now he should put his heart on the court, and use the turmoil in the DPRK to continue to place cronies, conquer the hearts of people, and consolidate his own power, so why bother to do anything to lift the ban on trade?

He is now in power, and he is in charge of the tax supervisor and controls the financial resources in Ming, but there is no need to take this risk. Liu Gong, Xie Gong, are you all wrong about him? It is only because he has no choice but to make up for the emperor’s honor and to allow the emperor to have fun?

Li Dongyang sighed softly and pondered: “Forbidden sea, naturally there are many ills, strong man, prosperous Tang, rich Song …. Since the ancient times, there has been no act of forbidden sea, only me. …… “.

Yang Ling listened to his loose tone and ecstatic in his heart. He stood up and said: “Masters, junior officials know that adults and hundreds of officials of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China are rapidly climbing because of their talents in the next referral, and they are too close to the **** of the **** and Quite a lot of misunderstandings. Zhou Gong feared the rumor day, when Wang Mangqiangong did not tamper with it, Rijiu felt uncomfortable and did not make much confession now.

But the lifting of the embargo is unselfish. If the matter is true, it will benefit the country and the people, and if the customs and the government have a bureaucracy, the official will also admonish the emperor. Deliver to local officials for management.

Adults, since the ancient aliens were difficult to come from the sea, now that the shipbuilding ability of foreign countries has been enhanced, and there have been Folang robots visiting from thousands of miles away. How about another hundred years? Anzhi, this oceanic sky ca n’t be a smooth road at that time?

Daming built a great wall in the north. Wasn’t there a great wall built on the seaside at that time? The grand Chinese and Yanhuang descendants would build walls everywhere. Do you want to be beaten everywhere in the morning? The sea is also my territory. You shouldn’t give it up if you are only responsible for it! “

Li Dongyang Huo Ran moved, and after a long thought, he said slowly: “Removal of the sea ban …… Difficult!”

Yang Ling said: “Adults are gentle and modest gentlemen, so it’s difficult to say that the junior officials make friends with the eunuchs. Why are you here? If the lord is allowed, other things will be done by the junior officials.”

Li Dongyang glanced at him and suddenly stood up. Slowly pacing in the room, Yang Ling saw him contemplating for a long while, and stopped: “The world is based on agriculture, free to trade, and if rice grains are outflowed, why? Even if the government prohibits it, it is difficult to defend everywhere.”

Yang Ling let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: “Like today. Who can get rich and beautiful things like me? Silk, tea, porcelain and other things float across the ocean, and a boat makes dozens of profits. Is it necessary to transport ordinary supplies with the benefit of goods?

Daming originally didn’t allow the people to use silver as the currency, but the credit of the treasure notes was insufficient, and the copper money was not enough. The people have already widely used silver for trading. Nowadays, the goods in the production area exceed the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and silver is no longer sufficient. As a result, prices have risen. People live in poverty.

If Liuyi flows into a large amount of silver, it can be delivered to domestic circulation. You can also buy horses, cattle and sheep from nearby barbarians. The people can eat meat in addition to rice, but how many people can afford meat now? In addition, when the sea was banned, the fishermen only had small boats fishing in the offshore without the wind and waves, and opened the sea banned giant ship to the sea. That is the inexhaustible fish and rice granary.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the people of the four seas were in business, the people were wealthy, and the imperial courts had sufficient taxes. However, in the Song Dynasty, the land was not as big as my Ming, and the yield per mu was not as good as my Ming. The people ate more than my Ming. “

Li Dongyang smiled and said: “The field of the Song Dynasty is not as good as my Daming, but the population is far less than my Daming. What you said is also reasonable. The people may not be very big in the output of rice grains, but the purchase of cattle and sheep is subject to foreigners. Fishing is difficult to cope with the survival of the people. Isn’t it dangerous when dealing with foreigners?

Jiangnan is a granary in the world, Su Lake is cooked, and the world is full. After the trade is established, the profit of silk is dozens of times that of the farmland. The people are greedy and profitable. The landlord must abandon the grain and plant mulberry. The rest of the provinces are not good farming areas. If there is insufficient grain storage, natural disasters and man-made disasters will provoke popular upheaval. One hundred years later, the officials do not know, but there may be great chaos in front of them, but it is inevitable. “

Yang Ling was full of blood, thinking about the important opportunities related to the historical turning point of the country, but he did not think about the current situation of Daming. Although Li Dongyang listened to the prospects he portrayed, he could not be a food for the first assistant university. God’s first priority.

However, when Yang Ling heard “Suhu is cooked, the world is full of feet”, he was a little bit strange. Isn’t the saying in the later generations often saying “Huguang is cooked, the world is full of feet”? Could it be that the world’s granaries gradually moved from the offshore to the inland?

Yang Ling suddenly remembered that during Zheng’s pro-government, he had approved a fold of a trial of high-yield rice in Annan, and had eaten sweet potatoes as a fruit when he was in Jimingyi. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and greeted Li Dongyang: “Master Li, If the underdogs solve the food problem and turn the poor inland into a sufficient granary, can adults support the lower officials? “

Li Dongyang looked at him, his eyes flashed, and said with a smile: “The success of Annan’s rice trial planting has been sent back to Beijing. This rice seed is drought-tolerant and insect-repellent, and can increase production by 10%. The land is widely planted, but the land suitable for rice cultivation is limited, and an increase of 10% can not make up for the loss of rice in Jiangnan. “

Yang Ling was pleased that corn and sweet potatoes are very good for planting. Any sandland wetland and hillside grass can grow. If farmers practise a little more, the increase in grain income in various places is not 10%, but more than doubled. How has this major event been forgotten all along?

Now he just wants to go back and tell his subordinates to search for the place where the sweet potato corn is planted. Since the court has not widely planted this crop, it is obvious that most of the people don’t know its important value. He has promoted it first, and what he said It was a little more emboldened.

Thinking of this, he smiled easily: “Master Li does not have to worry, Xiaguan has a way to solve the problem of insufficient grain storage in Daming, can the adult support it then? Xiaguan is not talented. Emperor Meng Xian, the emperor of today, but no help Yu Jiangshan She Ji, if this event can benefit the country and the people, I would like to suffice. “

Li Dongyang gave him a startled look: “It’s a terrible tone, the grain cultivation depends on the ground and the sky. The existing rice millet is in any way impossible to increase production in a land-poor ridge and unsuitable climate environment. This is also Yang Ling’s tone. Is that right? “

He restrained his curiosity and calmly smiled, “Okay. If Master Yang could accomplish this great event, he would be the first hero of Daming. Compared with the expansion of the territory and the achievements of a hundred battles, the old man was naturally To give full support, just … “

He sighed. Said: “The old man is old, not as strong as the young and powerful. Recently, I have been feeling tired, and it has been very difficult to read and review. The Jiao University graduate is much older than the old man. Too much work, too many daily affairs in the cabinet, no one is worried, but is willing to help adults to eliminate obstructions, I am afraid they can’t catch it. “

Yang Ling was stunned. Li Dongyang’s remarks were not like escaping, but also escaping. What medicine did he sell in the gourd? Yang Ling looked closely. Seeing Li Dongyang clenching his fist and coughing lightly on his mouth, but a pair of old eyes flashed a hint of cunning, he couldn’t help but realize.

He secretly scolded the “old fox”, but he said with a chuckle: “Adult Jiao just entered the cabinet, and the government is very dependent on adults. No wonder adults can’t be thorough, I heard that adults recommended the scholars of James Mansion Yang Ting and Master Yang to enter the cabinet. Xiaguan also I feel that Master Yang’s talents and political knowledge are outstanding. It is a suitable candidate for university graduates. I think the emperor will definitely agree to Master Yang’s entry into the cabinet.

Master Yang will share your worries for you. At that time, major events such as opening bans on the coast, receiving embassies, enacting laws, using troops to lay down Japanese wars, supervising the construction of ships, and setting up customs, etc., will surely be taken care of by adults. “

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said, “I wish he could rest assured as old man Yang said.”

The two looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile at each other.

“Sweet potato, haven’t heard of it? Hmm … also called sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato …. Still haven’t heard of it?”

Yang Ling sighed and turned to go. The owner of the chunky rice grain shop scratched his head and suddenly shouted, “Are you talking about this son?”

“Taro? What is Taro? Maybe it’s a name,” Yang Ling thought to himself, and turned back hurriedly, smiling happily: “It may be possible, take it out and show it to me, as long as I look at it Know if it is anymore. “

He came to visit Li Dongyang and wore a casual dress, but the high-grade clothes can’t be concealed, plus the eight sturdy and vigorous men around him, the leader is not visible everywhere in the capital, and the owner of the rice grain store can’t look down Got him.

He smiled slightly and said with a waist: “Son, the potato is cheap and cheap, and the profit is very small, and there are few people buying it, so the small shop does not sell that thing, but the grain and oil shops in the north of the city may sell it. Ground. “

North of the city? Yang Ling knows that most of the people living in that area are poor people. Sweet potatoes are indeed cheap in later generations. Could it be that they are still rare and worthless? He immediately gratefully said: “Thank you boss, I will go and see.”

Yang Ling went out of the shop, and the four bearers carried the Lunyi sedan. Yang Ling got into the sedan and said, “Go, go to the east of the city, and go to the rice shop.”

The bearer did not know what the old man came out of the university mansion. What did it mean to visit the grain shop in the city?

Could it be that the scholar’s family broke the grain? It may not be possible. I heard that Li Xueshi was a clean official. There were hundreds of people in the family. The court ’s salaries were low. His eyes were cold, and it would be bad enough to break the grain. But our lord has taken the door a little bit, and we ca n’t give others taro. Can that thing endure all winter?

They thought about it, but dare not say it, lifted Yang Ling and strode toward Beicheng District. The sedan arrived at Beicheng squeakyly, turned into the dilapidated ghetto, and finally found a rice grain shop. A fan dressed in a house waved his hand, and the sedan stopped.

He looked around cautiously, beckoning the brothers to disperse. Then walked to the car and whispered: “Adult, the grain and oil shop is here.”

Yang Ling fell asleep on the cushion. Last night, he stayed in the Xuelimei room. This little girl had the most tricks in her boudoir, and she always had the courage to do it. Yesterday she did not know how to be courageous. She couldn’t bear to ask herself.

It seems that Xue Limei has also made preparations and has learned the recipes heard in the Shihuaguan. Washed and lubricated with essential oil refined with lard and almonds, in the seductive gully like peach-like volcanic water, a watery daisy is scented, soft and greasy, with golden needles and spit .

Yang Ling is the best. Holding the peach-like tender buttocks, I felt soft and oily, and Zhang Chi was right, and then listened to Xue Limei’s whimpering tenderness, and this night was crazy and cruel. Yang Ling also knew in his heart that this little Nizi was so pleased, she was worried about something.

Women, sometimes it ’s not enough to have a heart. It ’s actually necessary to say a little nonsense to them. Yang Ling naturally knows this reason, and after hurrying, she hugged the timid body and talked to her in the middle of the night. , Coaxing Xiao Nizi’s heart bursting into joy, she cried when she was happy. It was a bit tired to sleep, so the little car fanned on the road, but it was sleepy.

Fan Zi called a few times, but without seeing the consent of the adults, he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Yang Ling leaning on the car cushion to sleep Zheng Xiang, Fan Zi hurriedly lowered the curtain. Instruct everyone to wait carefully. Mo Yao woke up the lord.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement here, but there was a noise in the grain and oil shop. Only a man ’s voice shouted: “Go and go, you beggars, if you want to stutter, and gave you brown rice, how can you still be noisy here again? You are sent to the government to investigate. “

Along with the sound, a little boss in a cotton robe led two men out of the shop. The two were wearing tattered black robes. Seeing that the dirt had n’t changed for some time, the weather was getting colder, It’s really pitiful.

These two beggars are all thin and tall, and from the back, their hair is red, yellow and yellow, unlike the Central Plains. Just listen to a beggar with a weird tone: “Boss, we are not beggars, we are messengers of God, you are spreading the gospel, your mother believes in God, you can be redeemed, and get peace of mind … “.

Before he finished, the little boss glared and scolded: “Fuck, what God? Is there Emperor Jade Emperor? You dear ghosts, hurry and leave me, and then influence me to do business here, don’t blame me for not You’re welcome”.

Another blond man in black robe was pushed down the steps and said, “Don’t abuse God. God tells us that we are all brothers and sisters who love each other, and stray lambs ……… oh … … “.

He was about to sigh with emotion. I didn’t know what the little boss hit him with. He covered his head and called a pain. Another person with red hair and yellow hair couldn’t help but argue with a loud voice.

The classmate called the two groups to make their voices louder and louder, and was about to step forward to drive them away so as not to wake Yang Ling. Yang Ling had heard the sound and woke up, and he opened the car curtain and frowned, “What is it, who is there quarrel?”

Without saying a word, the red-haired man turned around to help another blonde man. Yang Ling looked at the two and could n’t help but stay. Such a strange-looking man had only seen him in Daming Temple since he came to Daming. Is n’t that the group of Western missionaries?

Yang Ling quickly got up and got out of the sedan chair, and said with a smile: “The two priests have been away for a long time.”

When I walked in and saw the appearance of these two Western missionaries, I saw that the black robe became more and more worn out. Both of them were full of food, and it seemed that the days were very miserable. Yang Ling couldn’t help but be surprised: “The two, you This is ……, haven’t you always lived in Huguo Temple? The emperor ………… Uh … The good old man donated 3,200 silver sesame oil to the temple Here, how did you …… drive you out? “
