Four hundred and seventieth chapters finally out of the sea
Tianjin Wei?"
Even Shen Shixing, who was gentle in character, was furious when he saw Zhang Chengtian saying this shamelessly. He immediately sneered: "Inner Prime Minister, since that's the case, why not let King Lu be a vassal in the capital? He also ran to Tianjin Wei Zuoshi, so he saved these steps."
Tianjin Wei is a famous three-chakou, a transit place for the canal transportation, and is very prosperous. Are you going to punish King Lu or reward King Lu?
And it is at the foot of Beijing, and it is under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili, and there has never been a vassal king in Northern Zhili.
The other officials couldn't help but look angry, feeling that Zhang Cheng was insulting them. If Shen Shixing hadn't spoken first, they would have started to squirt.
This is simply too much.
"Everyone, please be careful, don't be anxious."
Zhang Cheng was also trembling and quickly explained: "You misunderstood what our family means. Our family did not mean building a Lu Wang Mansion in Tianjin Acropolis, but building a Lu Wang Mansion in a desolate land in Weilinhai, Tianjin. Our family has brought you this map, right here in Yuyang Port."
As he said that, he really took a map on the table.
Yuyang Port?
Is there such a place?
Everyone looked over and saw that this place was a bay near the sea from the easternmost point of Tianjin Wei.
Due to the maritime ban policy, Tianjin Wei's prosperity does not rely on bays, but on canals. There are really no people there, at most they are some sparse fishermen.
The ancients never thought that the sea was a good place. The sea was so terrible. If you think the sea was very free and you could take a boat to walk, then you can just walk away, and no one would stop you.
This made Shen Shixing and others unexpected.
Zhang Cheng explained again: "I'm going to hide it from you. In fact, Your Majesty also thinks that Guo Dan's suggestion makes sense. In recent years, due to natural disasters, the treasury has allocated grain to help the princes of the vassal states several times. Your Majesty also wants to solve this problem. But as a son of man, you have to consider the Queen Mother! Lu Wang is still young and immature. Let him go to Lingnan to take the vassal states, so how can the Queen Mother feel at ease! The palms and backs of your hands are flesh, and it's not easy for Your Majesty to do it!"
Wang Jiaping said: "But Northern Zhili has never allowed the vassal kings to be vassal."
"It's not possible to follow the ancestral system!"
Zhang Cheng sighed: "Everyone really doesn't know. Your Majesty has been very worried about this recently and can't even sleep well. After thinking about it, he thought about it and placed the Lu Wang Mansion in Yuyang Port. There is no one living there, no arable land, and there is no desert.
Your Majesty means that you will allocate a piece of land for Lu Wang here and build a Lu Wang Mansion. All the expenses will not be borne by the court or Tianjin Wei. All the expenses will be borne by Wei Hui Mansion, and the Lu Wu Mansion will not be borne by Tianjin Wei. You do not need to pay a grain of rice or an inch of land in the local people. All the funds will be allocated to purchase food."
Guo Dan added: "Everyone knows that the population of Weihui Mansion has grown a lot, and we have to buy food from outside. The taxes given to the court are all silver. In this way, the court does not need to make any adjustments."
A very attractive reason for his suggestion is to use food from remote areas to support the princes, and transport them to the capital nearby, so that a lot of losses can be avoided.
Wei Hui Mansion can directly pay off money, which can also avoid a lot of losses. Even if it is lost, it will consume private individuals and has nothing to do with the country.
Zhang Cheng then said: "Your Majesty also wants to take this as an attempt. Although Tianjin Wei is at the foot of Beijing, there has never been a prince in such a desolate place. If this is successful, then some changes will be made in the future."
this.....!
Shen Shixing and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
If the Lu King is in such a place, then other vassal kings...
This is really a try.
Seeing that they were a little moved, Zhang Cheng quickly hit the railway while it was hot: "Everyone, this is the greatest compromise, and the Empress Dowager has agreed. Although it is desolate, it is close to Beijing after all, so you can take care of anything. If you go to Lingnan, you have to have a few shortcomings. If you want to take care of it, it will be beyond your reach. Your Majesty has already said that if you don't agree, then don't talk."
Shen Shixing said: "If this piece of land is truly as the inner world says, it is not impossible."
"Is it necessary for our family to lie to you?"
Zhang Cheng snorted, but he knew in his heart that Shen Shixing was just a delaying strategy, so they could not agree to this matter immediately, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and inquire, it's true."
After the meeting ended and after Zhang Cheng left, Shen Shixing suddenly stopped and prepared to leave Guo Dan, and asked, "Guo Dan, is this your idea?"
Guo Dan said dejectedly: "Yes, I did give this compromise idea, but I didn't decide where it is. I don't even know where Yuyang Port is."
As he said that, he smiled bitterly: "I don't want to come up with this idea. I did nothing, but you all think it's my fault, and Your Majesty also think it's my fault. I haven't slept well for a few days, and I really don't know who is asking whom I'm so prosperous, but no one praises me. Who made me a businessman, I can't get anything except money. If the Prime Minister has nothing else, Caomin will say goodbye first."
Shen Shixing nodded slightly.
"Grassip people said goodbye."
After Guo Dan left, Wang Jiaping sighed: "He is indeed innocent in this matter."
Li Zhi snorted: "He is innocent? If he hadn't contracted the place and there, there would have been so many things."
Wang Jiaping waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. If there were no other people, I don't know how many people died, let alone the Weihui Mansion has paid enough taxes to the court now."
Li Zhi didn't dare to argue with Wang Jiaping. After all, Wang Jiaping has now become the eldest son of the emperor and has a very high prestige, so he asked Shen Shixing: "What do you think Shen Shun think?"
Shen Shixing said: "I think I can consider it. Although I am in Northern Zhili, I don't have to divide the land and people to the Lu Wang Mansion. The money is allocated from Weihui Mansion, so it will not cause any trouble. The main reason is that this is a precedent. If it is successful, it can be arranged in the future to give the vassal kings the treatment they should have, but at the same time, avoid disturbing the people because of the vassal. There will be no situation like the Weihui Mansion. The court has allocated a lot of money, which has also caused turmoil in Weihui Mansion."
Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue and the others nodded one after another.
Li Zhi said: "The Chief Auxiliary reminded Xiaguan that because Wei Hui Mansion had a crisis before, Xiaguan privately thought that the risk of changing the vassal state was very high. Now the people think that the Lu Wang Mansion has been settled, and now the sudden change of the vassal state is suddenly caused by the public. After all, this will cause panic among the people. If something similar happens again, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Shen Shixing nodded and said, "You have made sense, but Your Majesty's attitude is already very clear and has made great compromises. If we do not agree, we may get nothing and will anger Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."
The key is Empress Dowager Li. Although this woman has not appeared for a long time, the ministers all know that she cannot offend her.
Although Empress Dowager Li did not say a word about the establishment of a crown prince, she played a great role. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Li, Wanli might have been betting this.
Li Zhi also understood in his heart that he was actually drunk, and said, "Since the expenses used to change the vassal states are all expenses from Weihui Mansion, why not let Guo Dan take responsibility? You must never let the people from the Lu Wang Mansion participate. If there is any problem, let us settle the score with Guo Dan."
Shen Shixing suddenly realized, but he thought this was right. The reason why it happened like that last time was because the people from Lu Wang Mansion took the opportunity to extort and extort. If Guo Danlai was given full responsibility, this problem could be avoided.
If the people in the Luwang Mansion want to benefit from it, they will seek blackmail Guo Dan and not harm the people. We cannot punish Lu Wang, but can we still punish him Guo Dan?
After some discussion, although they did not achieve the expected target, it was not completely unacceptable. After all, this set a precedent. The vassal states were far away from the people. It would be not to say that the court gave the primordial rice, and they had to make another profit from the people and the government, or even cooperate with the landlords to make a profit together.
They didn't expect it. Guo Dan disdained to ask the people for money. Nowadays, people have nothing to do with money. There are so many mine owners overseas, so it's enough to cheat one.
Just one day later, they brought Zhang Cheng and Guo Dan again.
"Everything, the people are fully responsible."
Before they finished speaking, Guo Dan raised his hands and said, "The adults thought that the money should be paid, and the grass people would spend half of the money. The grass people just wanted to settle the matter quickly. Dissatisfied with all the adults, the grass people are now unpleasant from all sides, and I don't know who released the news. The merchants who were doing business in the Luwang Mansion also came to find the grass people, saying that the grass people had deceived them... Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it anymore. The grass people are willing to pay for the money. The grass people don't want the local people's penny, the grass people give them money, and the grass people provide them with it. This is OK."
Speaking of the latter, he was about to collapse while covering his face.
"All right."
Shen Shixing felt a little guilty when he looked at it, so he stopped talking, but he didn't know that Guo Dan was already happy and if he didn't let him take responsibility, he would be anxious with you.
Here the Wang family began to discuss with Zhang Cheng how to strictly restrict Lu Wang's actions. Although Lu Wang's Mansion was built in a desolate place, if Lu Wang ran to Tianjin Wei every day, there would be a ball for it.
Zhang Cheng also agreed one by one that if King Lu wanted to go out, he had to go through the emperor's permission. Anyway, he was just around the side and reported it back and forth, and it would not take long.
These are all planned.
And then, it will be even more powerful than they asked, because Guo Dan wanted to secretly build a port and a cargo ship inside. Without the emperor's permission, no one is allowed to enter and exit. This kind of thing must be hidden in the early stage. If it is leaked, it may fail.
Shen Shixing and others thought they thought they were very thorough and basically no problems, so they finally agreed to let King Lu change to Tianjin Wei.
Little did they know that they were already accomplices of One Piece Wanli.
ps: In the previous chapter, there seemed to be some arguments, but it was just a small misunderstanding. Maybe it was because I wrote it a bit superficially.
In fact, this is how Wanli restricted in history. Matteo Ricci came to preach in the Ming Dynasty. He first learned Chinese, first the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty, and then wore the clothes of Buddhist monks, and combined with some ideas from Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism to promote doctrines.
This was a very normal phenomenon at that time, and it had little to do with the sect itself, mainly politics and rule.
This is true in both the East and the West.
