Chapter 11 Fishery resources have great potential

Zhu Chunchen, the twelfth generation Duke Cheng, was descended from the famous general Zhu Neng of Jingnan.

As early as the Wanli period, he had already ascended the throne and married Wanli's daughter.

His status is so high that he is undoubtedly well-known in the capital.

By the time the grain merchant with his broken leg was dragged in, he had already fainted from the pain.

Li Yunze asked Wang Chengen on the side to "call Zhu Shiguo in."

Zhu Shiguo, son of Zhu Chunchen.

When Li Yunze left the capital, all the distinguished nobles sent their children to accompany him, and he was one of them.

When Zhu Shiguo entered the lobby and saluted, Li Yunze gestured to the grain merchant, "Do you know him?"

Zhu Shiguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, this is the son of the chief steward of the house."

"There is no need to interrogate it again, I know everything that needs to be known."

Li Yunze fiddled with the riding crop in his hand, "Take him back and tell Duke Cheng. Spit out all the money your family has made from reselling grains over the years, and pay double the fine. This is just for Zhu Neng's sake."

past."

Without giving Zhu Shiguo a chance to speak, Li Yunze greeted outside, "Cao Bianjiao."

The heroic Cao Bianjiao came in immediately and saluted, "Long live!"

"You take the imperial edict and the troops of your headquarters, and then select two thousand people from the warrior camp, and then go back to the capital to find Li Guopu to help with the matter. If you are short of one or two pieces of silver, you will directly lead the troops to seal the door and confiscate the house, and accuse Wei Ni of it.

,Remove the title!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire lobby was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

That was Duke Cheng Guo, and the emperor actually said he wanted to remove him from the title!

"Also." Li Yunze hadn't finished his words yet, "If my aunt comes to stop you, don't say anything and just come back to me. I will personally go back to Beijing and seize the Chengguo Duke's mansion!"

"According to the order!"

Li Yunze, who was not interested, stood up and said, "Those outside, whose families are involved in this matter, will also go with them and handle it in the same way."

His eyes swept over the granary supervisors, "No matter who is involved in this matter, we must get to the bottom of it. The nobles will pay fines, and all the officials in the court will regard Wei Ni as Wei Ni, and they will be sent to prison for strict investigation!"

Wei Ni is a basket that anyone can fit into.

At this time, everyone who was shocked by the emperor's power did not dare to speak. Only Wen Tiren actually kowtowed and said, "Long live. There are too many people in the court involved, and I'm afraid the government will be unstable."

Li Yunze raised his hand and gave a loud whip.

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are many scholars who want to be officials!"

Those who are not involved will naturally be fine. Those who are involved, Li Yunze has long been disgusted with.

Get rid of them when you get the chance, there are always people waiting to take their place.

Eunuch Cao's workload will increase significantly again.

After Cao Bianjiao returned to Beijing with the imperial edict, he undoubtedly caused a major earthquake.

At this time, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty still existed for two hundred years, and no one dared to jump over the wall.

After the nobles learned about Li Yunze's attitude towards Duke Cheng's wife, they all tried their best to raise money. For this purpose, they sold off countless antique jewelry, fields and shops, which even caused the prices of these items to fall rapidly in a short period of time.

You can still make money after the money is gone, but if you are really expelled from the title, you will not be able to enter the ancestral hall even if you die.

Li Yunze stayed in Tongzhou for five days.

Under strict investigation, the entire Tongzhou government office, from the governor Wang Wenhua to the third class of officials, was wiped out.

After learning from Jin Yiwei that the capital city was stable and that no one dared to jump over the wall in a hurry, he ordered Cao Bianjiao to lead troops to garrison the capital, and then set off straight to Tianjin Guards.

Tianjin Wei in the Ming Dynasty was far from the super city of later generations.

This is just an ordinary Linhai Guardhouse, very desolate.

"What a wonderful place." Li Yunze rode to the beach and looked at the simple pier not far away. "If you want to live a good life, you have to fish from the sea."

In the next two hundred years, the entire world will be in the Age of Discovery.

But the former overlord of the ocean, the giant dragon of the East, curled up and didn't even look at the sea.

Now Li Yunze wants to change all this.

Jin means ferry, and Tianjin means the ferry where the emperor passed.

During the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di went south to conquer the world here, and later changed its name to Tianjin.

There are three health centers here, namely Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Zuowei and Tianjin Right Wei.

The Ming Dynasty guard station had a quota of 5,600 people, with a total of 16,800 soldiers in the three guard stations.

When Li Yunze entered the Tianjin Zuowei and went to the school field to beat the drums, half an hour passed before hundreds of people gathered sparsely below.

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the chair, closed the military book in his hand and asked Cao Wenzhao behind him, "Are all the guards in the Ming Dynasty like this?"

Cao Wenzhao smiled bitterly, "The guard posts on the nine sides are still in good condition, but the guard posts in the interior have been in peace for a long time."

After all, he was in the military system, so it was really difficult to say some things clearly.

Pointing at the bewildered sergeants in the school yard, Li Yunze chuckled, "Do you think they can still hold swords and guns, and wear armor?"

The condition of the hundreds of soldiers gathered at the school grounds was much worse than that of the common people in Tongzhou City.

His clothes were full of patches, his face was discolored, and his figure was skinny.

If you have this kind of quality on the battlefield, let alone being killed by the enemy, you will be exhausted if you run for a while.

Cao Wenzhao shook his head, not daring to answer this question.

"What do you think?" Li Yunze threw the topic to the side of Mangui, Zhao Zhijiao, Lu Xiangsheng and others.

These Ming Dynasty generals also shook their heads.

"It's an empty salary. The Tianjin Zuowei quota is 5,600, and it would be good if we can actually get half of it."

Li Yunze casually threw the military register to Cao Wenzhao, "You also have a look at the roster. Some of the people on it have been dead for hundreds of years, but they are still registered to receive military pay!"

Cao Wenzhao and others were all born in the military, and these matters had long been cleared up.

Li Yunze stood up and pointed at the people on the school field, "Look carefully, can the rest of them be called sergeants?! When they are really needed, who can they beat? The eunuchs in the Forbidden City can beat them! Even if

It’s a leg missing!”

He turned around and looked at the commanders who were kneeling on the ground, thousands and hundreds of households, "Tell me, how many days do you have to do this?"

The generals of Tianjin Zuowei were trembling and did not dare to say a word.

"Tell me, do they usually carry hoes or weapons?"

The generals put their heads directly on the wooden board.

In addition to receiving empty pay, the sergeants in various guard posts have long been reduced to slaves of the generals, farming and making money for the generals.

From this aspect, it is almost the same as, or even worse than, the Imperial Guards in the late Northern Song Dynasty who were proficient in various arts but could not fight.

At least the Imperial Guards can still have enough to eat and have some strength.

The soldiers at the guard station didn't have enough to eat and they didn't even have the strength.

"Huh~~~"

Li Yunze, who was feeling depressed, waved his hand and said, "Cao Wenzhao."

"I'm here!"

"Re-recruit sergeants and organize the military roster. The fields in the guard station will be redistributed among all the sergeants. Anyone with more than 100 households in the guard station will be killed."

The generals at the guard station who had been too frightened to speak before finally spoke.

"Long live, spare my life, spare my life~~~"

Li Yunze waved his hand vigorously, and Cao Wenzhao immediately swarmed forward with his own soldiers and escorted these generals to the school grounds. In front of hundreds of numb-faced sergeants, they all raised their swords and dropped their swords.

When Cao Wenzhao came back, Li Yunze told him, "The three guards in Tianjin should be treated accordingly."

"According to the order!"

After cleaning up the sores in the guardhouse, Li Yunze turned his attention to the dock.

Pay money to recruit local people to drain swamps, level the land, build embankments, build trestles, and expand piers.

Not only did it expand the area and scale of the port, but it also upgraded the previous wooden trestle to stone.

Not only to dock fishing boats, but also to change water transportation from the Grand Canal to sea transportation.

There is a shortage of food in the north, so large quantities of food materials have to be transported northward from the south through the Grand Canal every year. This is the famous water transport.

Compared with water transportation, sea transportation is larger in scale, less expensive and more efficient.

The ancients were not stupid, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the benefits of shipping.

But the sea transport was always unable to pass through the court.
