"In fact, there is no third option. Should we choose someone like Oda Nobunaga to cooperate? If he really unifies Japan, wouldn't it be another disaster?"
"Although there is no third option, Three, but the method can be adjusted, that is, to send envoys to the Japanese king and the Ashikaga shogunate, Mori, and Nizi to demand war compensation for Iwami and other Japanese pirates in the southwest area of Honshu Island who have harassed the border for hundreds of years. Who is willing to bear this war? To pay compensation, Daming will cooperate with whomever. You can use minerals as collateral to repay in installments, that is, a mortgage."
"Let the three compete, whoever is willing to mortgage more ores and pays higher interest, I am Daming Just support whoever is responsible for the war reparations. We, the Ming Dynasty, will not sit idly by and ignore their demise until the reparations are completed. Unless the successor can come up with better terms."
"Eunuch Zhong, what do you think? "
"In addition, our Ming Dynasty will station troops in the mines to inspect and hire local people at high prices. Just like these Thai and Western businessmen come to the Ming Dynasty now, the Japanese can only squeeze the people at low prices because of the compensation, and our Ming Dynasty will have a great tomorrow. If the soldiers are willing to hire people at a fair price, then sooner or later the local Japanese will turn to the Ming Dynasty. Decades later, when peace breaks out, my father-in-law will be included in the history books."
Gao Hanwen couldn't help but continue to add fuel to the fire.
"Okay, okay, okay. The installment payment of the mortgage can be calculated according to the nine out and thirteen returns. But it will be exempted if it is entered in the history books. The history books will not say a word to our family if the eunuch is entered in the history books. Good words." After Eunuch Zhong finished speaking with a smile, he turned to Gao Yuewei and said, "Teacher Gao is really smart and discerning. Before, I was worried that it would be difficult to live up to his reputation, but I didn't expect that he is more than worthy of his reputation."
"Sir Gao, to tell you the truth, the emperor is probably still angry recently, so those of us who are on duty below should be more diligent. Although our family still needs to ask for instructions from the emperor for this mission to Japan, we also ask Mr. Gao to recruit some from Hangzhou. It will not be easy for a truly young man to succeed on a mission. I will ask the clerk who was promised by the governor to work overtime tonight to calculate the losses."
"In addition, Mr. Gao said I don't know. The teacher strongly recommended that our family will come to you directly. Now it seems that you, my teacher, and the senior minister in the cabinet are all good talents selected by the emperor to do things efficiently. Isn't he also offering a clever plan to block the news and monopolize the supply of goods? My teacher took the initiative to cooperate and planned to lead Dongchang and Jinyiwei Yamen to Jilong Mountain across the sea to take charge of this matter. Jilong Mountain is surrounded by the sea, and the island is full of savages. It is a great contribution to controlling the channels for entering and exiting goods and preventing the occurrence of Japanese pirates. But that place is even more remote than Qiongzhou. No matter what merits we have as ministers, as long as we cannot show up in front of the emperor, it is already political suicide. Teacher Gao thinks he can't make changes, so he just supports you in this way."
"Godfather"
Eunuch Zhong originally wanted to pull Gao Yue. Wei Lai wanted to increase her favor, but when Gao Yue Wei reminded her, she realized that her favor was indeed too obvious. The eunuchs like to do this openly, but civil servants want to be embarrassed after all.It's not good to have too many traces, so I continued to ask more serious questions.
"After talking about some miscellaneous things, I actually want to say that those who inherited Wang Zhen and Liu Jin's reform ideas have always existed in the inner court, such as me, Teacher Gao. Now I want to ask about the location of the chicken coop. Gao "What do you think, sir?"
"Chicken Coop" Gao Hanwen thought a little awkwardly at first. After all, it was called Taiwan in later generations. Remember, it shouldn't be called Ryukyu in the Ming Dynasty? But since eunuchs call chicken coops, it's chicken coops.
"The problem is not to isolate the mainland from traffic, but to sell it. As long as Fushou opium is available, even though it can be strictly prohibited, it will spread to the mainland sooner or later. And the taxes of the Ming Dynasty are all on the tenants and farmers. The key is What kind of sales method will weaken its impact on the bottom level? Therefore, Xiaguan believes that it is still necessary to increase pricing and take the luxury membership consumption route."
"What is membership consumption?" Yue Wei asked puzzledly. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
