Chapter 1039 Moisturize things silently

"Do you still dare to go back?"

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Bai Wu's heart suddenly burst out with a fire. He kowtowed heavily to the ground. After just kowtow, bleeding from his forehead was already oozing. He answered firmly:

"Master, the villain wants to go back all the time, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Wang Tong nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice:

"This is Shi Qi, a hundred households of Songjiang Jinyiwei. He wants to tell you something."

Shi Qi, who was standing behind Wang Tong, nodded to Bai Wu, and Wang Tong spoke again:

"Ten thousand lives cannot be killed in vain. Under this sun, anyone who kills the people of the Ming Dynasty will have to pay a price. However, after you return to Luzon, you must keep your breath. It is impossible to be so fast a month or two, do you understand?"

During this period in Songjiang Mansion, Bai Wu learned about Wang Tong’s deeds from all aspects. If someone said this to him, he would feel that it was a slander. Wang Tong said this, but he felt that he had a little more confidence in his heart and quickly replied:

"Please don't worry, the villain is waiting!"

It sounds ridiculous. The bodies of Han people killed a few months ago have not yet turned into bone dust. The Spanish in Luzon have begun to recruit Han people to go to farming and trade. What’s even more ridiculous is that a large number of Han people have traveled from Fujian and Guangdong.

"Write a letter to the capital. The Jinyiwei sent people in Fujian and Guangdong to rotate and ask them to check the local local officials. How far they forced the people to? The people would rather risk being killed than go there."

Wang Tong said this to Yang Sichen in his study. Yang Sichen could hear it. Wang Tong was angry. Yang Sichen shook his head and said:

"Mr., the area of ​​Fujian and Zhejiang is not what the master thought. There are few lands and many people. The local gentry and tribes are extremely powerful, and there is no power in the government. Moreover, the language customs in Fujian and Zhejiang are quite different from those in other provinces. Even if you want to go north to survive, there will be inconvenience. Fujian and Zhejiang are also in the sea. The people are not very resistant to taking a boat to a foreign land. This is the case of immigration."

Speaking of this, Yang Sichen smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Master, what do the people think? They think others have suffered disasters, but the disaster will not fall on their heads. The ghost said that the Han people in Luzon were wiped out, and they felt that they could be at peace with themselves."

"It's really strange. According to the maritime merchants, the clans in Nanyang are very powerful. If the government was wronged by such a clan, it would definitely make a big fuss. Why did they become honest in Nanyang?"

Wang Tong asked casually, Yang Sichen's wry smile became even stronger, and he said:

"This student doesn't know."

This question is indeed not easy to answer, and Wang Tong did not ask in depth either.

"What do you think?"

Emperor Wanli laid the memorial on the table with a leisurely expression and asked the ministers inside and outside the house. Wang Tong's memorial was delivered to the capital in June, saying that the officers and soldiers of various regiments of the Huwei Army system promised to serve for ten years at that time, and the generals were fine, but the veterans and soldiers below should also let them get married and establish a career, otherwise the morale of the military is not a good thing, and the veterans cannot be collected among the people, but at critical moments, they are also combat power. Let them retire from the army without having to bear military pay. Recruiting new soldiers is to replenish new blood. Overall, it is to expand the scale of the Huwei Army.

Now, no matter from which perspective, the memorials like Wang Tong are all from public opinion. Emperor Wanli also treats them the same as ordinary memorials.

"The Duke of Liao is a saying that he is loyal to the country. However, this retired veteran tried to place him outside the Ming Dynasty and in the open land, but I don't understand it very well."

Xu Guo, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, said carefully that Emperor Wanli is now completely controlling the situation in all aspects. The Prime Minister of the Cabinet Shen Shixing's qi cultivation skills are becoming more and more advanced, and he almost doesn't speak at the court meeting. Emperor Wanli sometimes doubts whether he fell asleep with his eyes open, and asked Zhao Jinliang to try twice. Of course, the answer is no.

The six ministers of the Ministry of Justice were either suppressed by Wang Tong or newly formed, and were purely powerless in the court, such as Wang Xijue and Xu Guo. One of them has made great contributions and the other has never made any mistakes, but they can say a few words.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Liao once told me that these veterans of war are His Majesty's wealth and His Majesty's trouble. They say that it is wealth. They have fought old wars and can be used in wartime. But these people are also troublesome. They know how to kill people, and they have arrogance in the army for a long time. If they change to the people, they may not be able to adapt. They will inevitably cause trouble. If they really make trouble, the local garrison will not be able to suppress them. Therefore, they have to send them to various farms and reclamation places outside the walls. The people there are tough people. They act as guardians. They are the duty of warriors and add vitality to those border areas. Furthermore, they can settle down in various opening places. There are many locations, many work, and many places to use them. They can also settle down."

Compared to Xu Guo’s simple doubts, Wang Xijue’s talk was more convincing. Emperor Wanli nodded and turned his head and said:

"I will be approved later and I will come out."

Tian Yi quickly agreed, and Emperor Wanli picked up another document and asked:

"I have heard people talk about the benefits of the Southeast Asian countries these days, saying that there are gold, silver, copper and iron that are rich, and there are various goods, and the land is fertile. This?"

When he heard this, the big guys from the cabinet to the six ministries and censors were all nervous. Since the Xuande year, this matter in Southeast Asia has been a taboo. It is not for anything else, and it is really a waste of money.

"Your Majesty, this is just a false statement. It is nothing more than a delusional thought of the common people. When the eunuch of the Three Treasures went abroad, he had brought anything besides spices. It can be seen that this rich saying is false. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is a country with all things and everything. What your Majesty wants is everything. Why do you have to travel across the ocean to seek far away?"

Speaking of this, Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites who had been silent, made a report with great sincerity. Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Emperor Wanli knew what they were going to say next. He was very excited, but suddenly felt bored and said:

"Please discuss next one!"

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Chahar's troops sent a prince to the capital to cry and complain, saying that the bandits and robberies and killing were done all kinds of evil."

The court meeting dispersed, as usual, it was a soft sedan chair to send Emperor Wanli back to the Qianqing Palace. However, Emperor Wanli often used to walking back by himself, which was to move his legs and feet.

When he walked, Tian Yi, Zou Yi and others naturally had to follow him. Fortunately, the oldest person in Silijian is in his forties and can still follow him.

Emperor Wanli was obviously a little distracted when walking, and everyone also found it strange that almost all the people of Silijian passed the things they had discussed at the meeting in their minds, and the memorials they had not said, and there seemed to be nothing worth distracting. They thought about it again, but when they walked quietly, they heard a cough. Everyone immediately realized that it was Emperor Wanli's voice, and several eunuchs looked over.

"Come here!"

Zou Yi quickly approached, and the others walked a few steps out. Tian Yi glanced over there and walked away with a blank expression.

"This report says that although the skin of a native woman is not white, she is as smooth as silk, and her body is weak and boneless, with a unique charm. Is this true or false?"

Emperor Wanli's expression was still quite serious, but the questions asked made Zou Yi stunned. Zou Yi reacted quickly, his face was serious, and he replied in a low voice:

"I don't know this. It is said that Chen Sibao, the Warrior Camp, has two women under him who bought them from Nanyang, but they are hidden in the inner house. This is all rumor, and I can't explain it clearly."

He was a eunuch, and he couldn't explain this, but Emperor Wanli coughed again and said:

"You write a letter to Wang Tong and ask him to help me find a few. Remember to keep it confidential and not be known by those Taoist scholars outside."

"Long live, please don't worry, I will do it now."

Being able to do such private affairs for Emperor Wanli is naturally a manifestation of trust, and Zou Yi also needs to show his diligence.

Although Emperor Wanli was in love with Empress Zheng, this does not mean that he did not like to play. Foreign things from Tianjin Weicheng were specially placed in the Qianqing Palace. The Imperial Horse Prison and the Imperial Bureau now have dedicated people to buy such things.

And Zou Yi also knew that it was said that someone went to Japan to buy women, and some other people were preparing to bring white women. It was okay for the one in Japan to say that white women would have to be more than a year. I really don’t know what chaos will happen at that time. Queen Zheng should know these things, but the smartest way in the palace is to pretend not to know.

It was also strange that a maritime merchant suddenly began to talk about the benefits of Southeast Asia, and a literati who made good things wrote notes to describe the situation there.

Not to mention anything else, Zou Yi dares to conclude that the person who wrote this article must be morally corrupt. He wrote notes here and there, and he was writing Fengyue novels at first glance, and there were those who were ashamed and did not wear clothes all day long. Besides, how could the skin be as smooth as silk without clothes? It must be extremely rough.

This kind of thing is most suitable for the rich and wealthy people in Beijing and Tianjin. A note-taking article with rough literature and science and despicable works actually sells well in the capital, and there are also bookshops that specialize in woodblock printing. It is really strange and morally degraded.
