"Last year, from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Huguang, 120,000 stones of grain were distributed, and 70,000 stones of grain were transported to Jimo, Shandong by sea. It encountered a hurricane, and nine ships were covered, losing 8,700 stones of grain, and 54 dead soldiers."

"The servants and officials of the households, the inspectors and the Shandong Fuzundu wrote a letter to Chen, the sea transport is inconvenient, and the sea transport should be abolished and the river transport should be redirected."

Zhang Juzheng said as he turned his eyes to Zhang Han, Minister of Personnel, with a smile on his face: "Shuai Chen from Nanyang firmly opposed the canal transport of rivers and believed that the shipping cannot be stopped."

"If it is just a censor or a censor, it doesn't matter if the servants don't go and see it. Their words may not be of any insight. But Shandong Fuzhang also opposed shipping. He had done military preparations in Huaiyanghai, and in terms of military affairs and losses, he sincerely believed that the state and the dynasty could not use shipping in favor of shipping. In particular, when it comes to Chen Shuai, Shandong Fuzhang was dissatisfied with Chen Shuai."

Mr. Zhang Han himself did not have the qualifications to be the Minister of Personnel, so he was careful in his duties. At this time, he saw Zhang Juzheng mentioning Chen Mu and mentioned that Shandong Fu Shu Fu was dissatisfied with him. Although he didn't know why he was dissatisfied, he said: "Mr. Houchuan has a reputation, and students must have his opinion when they come."

Zhang Han is 65 years old this year. His beard is white and his waist is barely hunched. He has aged spots on his face. He is the Minister of Personnel and the No. 1 chief of the Sixth Ministry of the Court. In this way, Zhang Juzheng has to call himself a student in person.

Have you seen that even the Minister of Gu Ming Gao Gong was excluded from the cabinet and was still giving favors to the court from far away to Nanyang. Although it would be more comfortable for Zhang Han to go to Nanyang if he was not old, going to Nanyang might be more comfortable than being in the capital. After all, Chen Nanyang was polite to his old man, but it depends on whether the court will send him there at that time.

If someone can go to Southeast Asia to exile, is it because they are Gao Gong, and others can be the same?

"Ziwen doesn't have to be so careful." Zhang Juzheng said this, but he was very helpful. This person was promoted by him and knew his benefits. He said: "After Fu Houchuan's proposal, when Chen Shuai started a war, many of the countries in the South China Sea were exploited and fought against the Western barbarians. In the east, the five islands were stationed in Kuwu. The ministers of the court were worried that the war would burn the two capitals and 13 provinces. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was at the sea, and there was no such precedent."

"Once one day the sea transportation is used, if one day the naval battles are set, the sea operations are blocked and the grain transportation is neglected, and the south and the north will be destroyed, which will be difficult for the court!"

"Secondly, I am worried that I am neglecting the canal transportation and the river channel is not scattered, and that years of breaking the severity of disaster relief is another expense." Zhang Juzheng turned his head and saw Wang Guoguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, nodding repeatedly, "I guess Ru Guan thinks so too."

Wang Guoguang nodded and said, "There are some benefits of canal transportation. Fu Houchuan has not said that the canal canal has been on the river for hundreds of years, and there have been more than 100,000 waiting for food. Without canal transportation, they will not be able to survive."

"Shisam Chen also talked about this, but he felt that this was not a bad thing. Even if a hurricane was encountered in a year of shipping, it would be worth 10,000 stones to lose 190,000 stones; if the grain transport was transported 190,000 stones, the grain transport was transported together, and the time was more than a month longer than that of shipping, and the loss was 250% heavier than that of shipping when encountering winds. Passing through various counties, tens of thousands of people who work hard would delay the farming time, and half of the food and grass were consumed."

"He also believes that the sea transportation encounters wind because the sailors of the canal ship are not familiar with the wind and waves. If they start early next year, they can avoid the wind and waves. In the long run, they will urge the state to build ships and make progress in maritime affairs." Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Last year, our Ming Navy defended the enemy five thousand miles away from the sea, and greatly defeated the Western Barbarians on Guam. The navy has a great place to use it!"

What is the concept of going to the sea for 5,000 miles? If the roads are straight, it will only be around 4,500 miles from Beijing to Guangzhou Prefecture, without the support of the court, without the loss of supplies, and fighting a battle of tens of thousands of troops from 5,000 miles away, which is a fantasy thing.

Wang Guoguang is a traditional Confucian scholar who likes benevolent politics and encourages good politics. Although Chen Shuai lost gold and silver to the Ministry of Revenue every year, this practice of tied up the Ming Dynasty to dominate is not very popular with him. Especially recently, Zhang Juzheng was helped to implement the one-whip method, which was greatly obstacle, which made him shake his head and sigh: "Chen Shuai is cruel and ruthless, and his eyes are far from reaching ordinary people!"

In Zhang Juzheng's words, Chen Mu did not mention what they would do if those who were expecting food from the canal transportation would not be transported by the river in the future.

It is true that the whole canal transportation is unclear, but not only the officials, but also the people. More people can only have more than 100,000 mouths? The river is close to the best land in the world, so how many acres can the people reach?

They have no land, and there are tenant farmers everywhere in those places. No large family lacks a few tenant farmers, and they can’t even be tenant farmers. Can fishing in the river last year and support their families? They all rely on the canal transportation to live!

Which official in the entire court did not know that the grain transport was broken, and where the officials from the Ministry of Revenue did not know that the grain transport could only be 10,000 yuan if it could be lost to the capital?

It is good to have a heavy labor service in the place where the canal transportation passes, but it takes half a month of hard labor to take half a month of food. After the work is done, you can still bring one and a half stone of food to your home. Even if you don’t give the grain, you can still be exempted from some taxes.

Everyone knows, who can really be cruel to abolish corvee labor?

If you transport 100,000 stones per year, you will lose 50,000 stones. If the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can get a one or two month, the court would rather admit that they will lose.

Is it fun to talk about politics?

Ordinary people can't even manage ten people well, but a prefect has to take into account the life, old age, sickness and death of hundreds of thousands. It will be difficult to survive a safe and secure few years without killing people. What else can you talk about? Nonsense!

Wang Guoguang would not think that Chen Mu, a right governor who is the first-rank official, could understand the shipping principle but did not understand this principle. He thought that Chen Mu just didn't care.

So the ruthless and cruel person who leads troops.

Zhang Juzheng laughed. He felt like a mirror in his heart. He could no longer understand the Nanyang commander. He just didn't understand.

"That's a tiger and wolf medicine. Taking it alone will cost people's lives. If you adjust it, you can cure the disease."

Zhang Juzheng understood how many letters Chen Mu would write to him in a year. The newly-employed postman from Yulin Post only sent him an urgent message from his Nanyang Military Mansion to the Chief Auxiliary Mansion. In six months, he could be brothers like a third-rank official.

If Chen Mu's wonderful ideas in each letter were compared to men, then Song Yu and Pan An were missing.

Chen Mu couldn't say bad ideas, and each of them was a good strategy for governing the country with a long-term vision. However, Zhang Juzheng wanted to do what Chen Mu said. Since Emperor Taizu expelled the Yuan gangs of the previous dynasty to Mobei for 206 years, the Ming Dynasty, which is showing its revival, can be destroyed by him for up to three years.

"Each person has his own opinions. I think that in the future, I will also open sea grain transportation, and live grain, and sea grain will be replenished. Even if the Yellow River breaks the grain, there will still be sea grain. Some people are hit by the sea war, and there will be sea grain in the middle of the country. No matter what, Chen Shuai of Nanyang has sent people to negotiate with Chameng and Dacheng to exchange for grain for cotton, sulfur, pearls and other goods. This is to be transported by sea."

Zhang Juzheng likes the Nanyang Military Office because he is radical enough and he is not in a hurry to reject any suggestions. This lack of rush reflects a rare self-confidence and trust among officials. He is confident that he is beneficial to the country and the people he proposes, and also trusts that Zhang Juzheng will make the right choice at the right time, so he just explains the matter clearly and never says what to do or when to do it.

He only said one thing, and said maybe he could do it.

The most important thing is that he is radical enough. Whenever the court encounters unresolved difficulties, as long as Chen Shuai cleans up from the pile of waste paper, he has written a letter and brought it to the court for discussion and asked Chen Shuai to be scolded. If Mr. Zhang put forward his own ideas, he will most likely agree.
