Chapter 129 puzzled
Zhang Juzheng was the "confused boy" that Chen Mu called, but this was not the case when the laws of the four provinces were issued by the court.
The law strictly ordered the people to purchase rations for March when going to sea. Most of the people pass the customs defense before taking the boat. However, when they go to sea, some people's food is gone.
The main problem lies in Nanzhili. Guangdong and Fujian provinces have strict customs defenses and Nanzhi is relatively slack, which gives some people with interest an opportunity. Some grains are purchased after customs defense, and some are simply grain merchants boarding the ship and buying the people's rice and grain at more than usual prices.
Everyone thinks that this voyage may not be as long as three months. Everyone thinks that they will be fine when they arrive in the New World when they are hungry. They are deceived and fools like this. They buy grain in exchange for silver.
In their opinion, in the past, the New World had to buy land and buy land. Even if the land price was low, money was also indispensable. If you had money, you could buy more land!
There is not much food, it is just a small gap.
What can be called a disaster happens at sea.
When they passed by Japan, prices in Japan had just ended the war. The business run by merchants from all over the country under the former Daming and now the governor of Tongzhi became the last carnival. They did not miss any opportunity to make money, and exchanged useless weapons and goods from the people and grain merchants for food at high prices.
The grain merchant holding the grain was worried that the small boats that stored the grain would be discovered by the Beiyang Banner Army's patrol ships, and was worried that the people on their hands would be crazy about the people who had food on their hands in the future would be furious. A large amount of grain would be resold by taking advantage of the short opportunity to dock in Japan.
Most eyes that can detect business opportunities can also be used to detect crises.
After more than a month of going out to sea, the Beiyang Flag warships had finished their food and grass and began to transport food from civilian ships as supplies ships. Until now, they still don’t know what kind of crisis was fostered on thousands of civilian ships.
First, there was a grain thief. He was discovered and was killed directly under the strict military laws of the Beiyang Banner Army. However, the situation was not much better. It turned into an open robbery in a few days.
Hunger is the greatest motivation for mankind, and hunger is fearless.
There are many people on the civilian ships and few flag soldiers. There are some flag soldiers who open warehouses and release grain without authorization because of their compassion. There are some flag soldiers who kill the people who hit the cabins. There are some; there are some who are really unable to defeat the ships and die together; there are also some who are killed by the people or forced into the sea to drown.
The vast sea blocked the regional space and became a closed cage. When disaster occurred, the flag army carried guns and cannons to surround the civilian ships trying to escape, and things would have become earlier.
In fact, all the 100,000 soldiers and civilians who can arrive at Majiagang safely have to be grateful to everyone.
This man has dark skin, no fortune, but his strength is not in line with his old age. He was guided by the flag army to enter the atrium of the Port Government Office, and bowed down: "Haoguan Hairui, who has opened military rations to feed the people, is willing to be punished by the ruler."
In the official hall, Chen Mu was having a conversation with Acosta, and Hai Rui's sudden bowing made him stand up in a hurry and approached his disobedience.
"Haodun Hai asked me to get up quickly, Chen can't stand this great gift."
To be honest, Chen Mu, who was worried about the incident of 100,000 military and civilians coming from the east, saw this firm face and wanted to curse, and squeezed out a sentence from the yakuzi: "Who sent you?"
Our Asian strategy has not achieved any great results yet. What's wrong with the court sending this great god first?
Hai Rui slowly stood up, and Chen Mu's personal soldiers beside him presented the lacquer plate, which contained the imperial edicts of the deputy envoy of Asia, letters from the court, and Hai Rui's report on the release of grain at sea.
Hai Rui exercised the power of the deputy Asian envoy at sea, killed the grain merchants who caused trouble and the culprits who robbed military rations from the official army. In accordance with the Beiyang military law, he captured the flag army who had released grain privately, opened the warehouse and released 90,000 stones of grain, which stabilized the hearts of the people and took the blame with all his strength.
Half of the military food in a year were eaten, and Chen Mu should have cursed her, but he put a hundred thousand people first. He didn't think Hai Rui had done something wrong. If he had done this at sea, he would have done this.
Hai Rui is not a vicious face, on the contrary, he is very good at adapting.
In the early years, Hu Zongxian was the governor. Hu's son passed by Chun'an County where Hai Rui was in charge. He got angry with the postmen and hung upside down. People reported the matter to Hai Rui and said that the postmen offended Governor Hu's son. This problem was difficult. What should we do?
Hai Rui said: No! In the past, Governor Hu inspected and inspected local government offices and ordered not to be extravagant. Governor Hu was a good official, and his son must be a good person. Now this person is rich in clothes and must not be Governor Hu's son. Be arrested!
After opening the bag, Hu Zongxian's son brought thousands of taels of gold, which was confiscated by Hai Rui to the county curri. He also sent someone to report to Hu Zongxian, saying that someone pretended to be the governor's son.
Hu Zongxian had no way to deal with Hai Rui, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
Hai Rui made the officialdom hate it, and what made Chen Mu fear was not his axis, not his stubbornness, but his so-called "human favors".
As for Chen Mu, what kind of subordinates do he like? Like Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan, I remember in my heart that I have kindness to you. I will continue to show kindness to you and continue to repay kindness. No matter whenever you support me unconditionally, everyone is well.
Although everyone says they hate this relationship, what they hate is the relationship between others and their own relationship is not at all.
But Hai Rui is an alien. He doesn't talk about human feelings to you, and he talks about reason with you. Once the reason doesn't make sense, it's possible to explode the benefactor.
Xu Jie was kind to Hai Rui, and he was very kind to Hai Rui. When someone wanted to hang Hai Rui, he was pushed down by Xu Jie.
When Gao Gong defeated Xu, he wanted to kill Xu Jie with the fact that Xu Jie wrote Qing Ci to Emperor Jiajing in his early years, but Hai Rui could understand that Xu Jie wrote Qing Ci to please the emperor under the strict party's rule. He felt that Xu Jie had made contributions to the country, so he wrote a letter to defend Xu Jie.
But when Hai Rui was in charge of Yingtian and Qingzhangjiu to manage land annexation, the problem between him and Xu Jie could not be explained. To manage Yingtian, Songjiang Prefecture was first managed, because Songjiang has a total of 9 million mu of land, and the old Xu family has 150,000 mu, accounting for one 60.
In Hai Rui's opinion, being kind is one thing, and being guilty is another.
If you want to do it, you will do it in a big way. You almost have to take out the cool government of the Hongwu Dynasty to do it... As a result, the Xu family has withdrawn 40,000 mu of land, Yingtian Mansion has been merged and reduced, and the local officials have been invited, but Hai Rui's official was also fine.
"I just don't know anything."
Hai Rui said something without any end. Chen Mu didn't understand what he didn't understand, but Hai Rui didn't keep it in secret. He was an old acquaintance with Chen Mu. He spoke, "Why did you have to sit in a thirty-two sedan chair when you go back to Jiangling for funerals? I really don't understand."
"The two of them can't walk after carrying it? The horse, ox, chariot, donkey, etc. are not good? Are you indecent about walking by yourself?"
Hai Rui looked at Chen Mu with indescribable sorrow on his face and said, "I wrote a letter to Your Majesty. I want to ask, but no one answered that the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty was not like this, and the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty should not be like this."
Chen Mu took a deep breath. He understood why Hai Rui came over, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He turned his head awkwardly and found that monk Acosta was standing aside with fear, neither staying nor leaving.
He waved his hand and said, "Friends go back and go to Mexico City to convey my request to the Duke of your country. The sooner the food trade, the better. Every seven days, the purchase price will drop by 20%. After five or seven days, there will be no need to discuss things. I will take them to get it."
