I am the king of the dead

However, the power of powerful merchants is getting stronger and stronger. The joint efforts of these people can easily drive the grass on the wall to the side that opposes the split.

Li Xian said very seriously: "We want to break up their joint efforts."

"Yu Niang, you go out first." Li Xian glanced at Yuniang, in fact she should have gone out just now, but Yuniang has been worried about Li Xian's injury, how can she remember these rules?

Li Xian reminded that Yuniang left the side hall full of worry.

Her official is not a real man, but he is a husband.

Li Xian sat up straight and said, "First of all, the Lianghuai salt merchants, the Liangzhe merchants, and Huizhou merchants, what are they most concerned about now? Concerned about merchant ship inspection and conformity."

The inspection and cooperation of merchant ships is the proof of Daming's legal business and trade. If there is no inspection and cooperation, it will be extremely inconvenient whether it is to purchase goods from Daming or bulk cargo in Daming.

With such a huge profit from Haimao, being bitten by someone is not a good feeling.

The Department of Shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty is a very strict department. It started in the Tang Dynasty, prevailed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and almost all the mines have been stepped on in the Ming Dynasty, so the inspection and compliance of merchant ships is a very important proof.

Xu Chengzong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Here, we can use the survey and compliance talisman to force them to submit! I will organize them, and if we object again, if we don't give the talisman, the merchant ship will become a private ship, waiting to be given by the battleship of the Daming Navy." Sink it!"

Li Xian shook his head and said, "No, no, no, doing this will only make them more closely united and resist His Majesty's will."

"This censorship symbol is the best grass leaf for fighting crickets."

"We put out the reconnaissance symbol little by little, and let them fight! Our purpose is to let them tear apart, and if we don't form a joint force, we will naturally break their tacit understanding."

"As far as I know, there are more than [-] three-masted merchant ships in the Lianghuai merchant ships, more than [-] three-masted ships in the Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, and more than [-] Huizhou merchants."

"We release [-] copies of the reconnaissance at a time, for a period of one year, and re-release next year."

"Because of this censorship talisman, they can break their heads. The world is profitable, and this censorship talisman is their lifeblood."

Li Xian looked at the two people who didn't understand, and explained with a smile: "Northeast wind in the southeast, it will end in August, and a three-masted ship is not a two-masted ship. They still want to do business. Can't enter the port."

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "Why three hundred copies?"

Li Xian thought for a while and said: "Because there are more than [-] three-masted ships in total, we released [-] copies, which is about [-]%, no one can feed enough, but no one is hungry."

"Fighting crickets are fed to [-]% full. If you feed too much, the fighting crickets will not move. If you feed too little, the fighting crickets will lose strength and lose. So feeding them to [-]% full is the most brave. "

"When His Majesty left, he also said that the only place where the three-masted ship is located is the Ship Department of Songjiang Prefecture. Li Binyan is there. It is not difficult to communicate with Governor Li a little bit about this matter."

Xu Chengzong blinked, and asked, "Dare to ask your Excellency who is a master?"

Of course Li Xian knew what Xu Chengzong was asking, he said with a smile: "I am a Jinshi in the seventh year of Xuande, so I naturally know a little about Qiuxing."

Xu Chengzong said with a lot of emotion: "Is this a point? In terms of tricks, you scholars still have a lot of crooked ideas! Fighting a cricket can be used in state affairs."

Li Xian continued: "We still have silver coins and Jingtai Tongbao in our hands. The current situation is different from the situation when His Majesty was here."

"Your Majesty used both civil and military skills to drain the silver taels on the ground in Nanzhili, and now they use silver coins to buy the whole batch of goods."

"Did you know? Silver coins are much more useful than silver taels. Now on the ground in Nanzhili, it's like Bao Zhimin used the Three Treasures of Fulu, and he can't stop."

Li Xian's description is very strange, but it is indeed like this.

The fineness of gold flower silver is different, and the casting standards are different in different places. Especially when it is fake, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. The silver ingots are fake, with tin cores inside, and there are many people who deceive people.

Once you start to accept the use of silver coins, for those who are merchants, it is impossible to stop.

Because you only need to pick up the silver coin and blow it gently to know the authenticity. The outline article is extremely exquisite.

No matter how large the transaction is, you only need to flick it with your hand to see if it is true or false.

Since His Majesty smashed the front teeth of powerful merchants and forcibly pushed the silver coins away on the ground in Nanzhili, those who had resisted could no longer leave the silver coins.

Li Xian shook his head and said: "They usually wrap the silver coins with a red chip, wrapping each one, for fear that the silver coins will be worn out. In fact, it is completely unnecessary. Who in Beiya doesn't know that silver coins are durable?"

"Like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

"What's the matter? At the beginning, I resisted His Majesty's silver coin decree and insisted on touching His Majesty. I spent so many lives, so much silver and family property in vain, but now I am so sought after. This kind of arrogance Gong's appearance, oh..."

Li Xian sometimes thinks that something is wrong with Daming, why are there so many idiots?

What they did was stupid, but at the time, it was reasonable.

Down south tyrant, you let me use it?

I can't touch you?Is it you, the dragon crossing the river, or me, the tyrannical snake?Try this and die.

Li Xian said very calmly: "The same is true for our current silver coins and Jingtai Tongbao. They are accepted every month. They are accepted in Luzhou, Xuzhou, and Nanjing. They can only be accepted by their hometown."

"Nanjing can only be exchanged for Yingtianfu and Songjiangfu, Luzhou can only be exchanged for Fengyang Province, and Xuzhou can only be exchanged for Suzhou Province."

"But they are still [-]% full. If they can't starve to death, they will hang them."

"Within three years, they will recognize it by pinching their noses."

Yuan Bin looked at Li Xian's confident look and asked, "Why is this? If this drags on, will they lose their strength?"

Li Xian nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Do you know what to do when you catch something huge when fishing?"

"drag."

"Wrestling with them all the time, a catty of fish, ten catties of strength, these are giants, we drag them, dragging their strength away, and then use the net to copy it."

"This silver coin is bait, can they not bite?"

Xu Chengzong blinked and asked, "May I ask who is your Excellency?"

Li Xian said with a smile: "I am a censor of salt during the Jingtai period, so I naturally know a little bit about fishing."

Xu Chengzong said with a lot of emotion: "Disrespect and disrespect! I knew I could learn from you!"

In fact, Xu Chengzong did not make any contribution in His Majesty's hands. He stared at Sun Bingfu's release of Jingtai Tongbao in Baoyuan Bureau. .

Xu Chengzong now immediately understood that when it comes to flamboyance, he still has to look at these civil servants!

In a few words, these powerful merchants were clearly arranged, and they were dismantled.

Li Xian said with a smile: "In the end, it's Shilin. The 340 quotas for candidates in Nanzhili and the fifty quotas for Jinshi in Nanbang have not yet been divided."

"How do you divide this?"

"Of course it depends on where you are loyal. The more loyal you are, the more points you get. There's nothing wrong with that."

Yuan Bin took a deep breath, looked at Wei Guogong the same way, and asked in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with it, how do you measure this loyalty?"

Li Xian leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Loyalty is immeasurable. Commander Yuan should be very clear about this. The word loyalty is very complicated. What exactly is loyalty? Since ancient times, there has been a clear standard." ?"

"not at all."

"It doesn't matter what you say, if you say loyalty, who knows if you just say it?"

"Your Majesty has to do a few things when he returns to Beijing. Qingtian Liding must do it. The first 20 waterways of the [-]-mile waterway must also be done. The examination method must also be implemented. This is the time to test whether you are loyal or not."

"Who can solve His Majesty's urgent needs, does it mean that he is loyal?"

Xu Chengzong blinked and asked, "May I ask who is your Excellency?"

Li Xian said with a smile: "I am a disciple of His Majesty, the governor of Jiangnan, Li Xian."

"Yu Shaobao doesn't care about his reputation, but he has an excellent reputation; Hu Shangshu cares about his reputation, but his reputation is very bad."

"Integrity is loyalty, treachery is loyalty. The two Dukes of Ming have exhausted their efforts for the advancement of Ming Dynasty, but they also have their own concerns."

"But Li Xian is gone. Li Xian first rebelled against King Jili and escaped alone, and then rebelled against His Majesty and usurped the court."

"I don't care about reputation, and I don't have any reputation at all."

"They can't kill me! They have to obey the law of the Great Ming! Live according to His Majesty's will!"

"Otherwise, these stupid pigs must die!"

Li Xian was still smiling, but Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong took a step back, this smile is really a bit creepy.

"We don't seem to have sinned against Governor Li." Yuan Bin blinked and said.

Xu Chengzong thought about it seriously, and said with a sullen smile: "Anyway, I don't have one."

As for whether Yuan Bin has one, I have to ask Yuan Bin.

"Of course Commander Yuan didn't, and I have to thank Commander Yuan for saving his life." Li Xian added hastily.

In fact, Yuan Bin's experience is very similar to Li Xian's. They were both very loyal to Ji Li Wang Zhu Qizhen.

Yuan Bin wanted to save his grandpa when King Jili went to Datong Mansion to call for the door, and Li Xian wanted to take his grandpa with him when he was disguised.

In fact, they should have died a long time ago, because His Majesty cut off the title of King Jili, and killed him in the Taimiao cleanly.

Li Xian didn't complain about Yuan Bin staring at him. On the contrary, he thought it was necessary. After all, he was the only core member who survived the Nanya Dynasty.

Although he has always been an inner ghost, it cannot be changed, the fact that he is indeed a traitor.

"You two, do you think Li's three points are useful?" Li Xian asked with a smile.

Yuan Bin said with emotion, "Be careful when you go out in the future."

"Be careful when drinking water." Xu Chengzong added, and said to Yuan Bin: "In the future, when there is thunder and rain, the two of us should not get together with him."

Yuan Bin asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Chapter 389 translation translation, what is peace of mind and life!

"When he was struck by lightning, let's stay away, don't implicate us!" Xu Chengzong shook his head repeatedly, and said with a sigh: "His fate is very hard, he may not die, but we must die."

Li Xian's fate is hard, but Xu Chengzong and Yuan Bin don't think their fate is hard. They still used three such bad tricks at a time.

"If it is valid in Southern Zhili, we can increase the quota of Jinshi in the future, and we can do this more flexibly in the allocation of quotas." Li Xian released a seemingly harmless proposal very calmly.

The proposal seemed so innocuous.

The increase in the number of candidates for Jinshi, these few words seem not so easy to understand, but in fact, with the development of the times, it is inevitable that the number of candidates and Jinshi will increase year after year.

Because the population has increased, the number of bureaucrats who manage so many people will inevitably increase. This is an inevitable trend, and it is not a matter of increasing redundant officials.

Since the Ming Dynasty did not have nearly [-]% of the favored officials in the Song Dynasty, it did not have so many redundant officials.

Of course, the quotas for juren and Jinshi that have been allocated now cannot be moved.

But what about the addition?is negotiable.

For example, the twice-increased number of recruits, from more than [-] people at the beginning of the country, to more than [-] people now, and this increased number of people, the court actually allocated it directly, instead of holding it in the hands of the court, it was held in the hands of the emperor .

This is a courtier, the greatest disrespect!

How good grass leaves, how good bait, wasted for no reason?

Li Xian drank his saliva and said, "There are a total of 300 Jinshi and Tong Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, and there should be about 350 Jinshi and Tong Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai."

"These fifty people, I will write to the imperial court, and they will all be Enke in the future."

Enke, the imperial examination system is in addition to the official examination system, and the emperor Teen opened an examination to obtain a scholar called Enke.

But the Enke that Li Xian mentioned is obviously turning the number of people who need to be increased in each subject into His Majesty's Enke.

In this way, His Majesty will have more bargaining chips in his hands to compete with the courtiers.

The group of disrespectful courtiers in the province always turned to the sky to persecute His Majesty.

Li Xian added another sharp weapon to His Majesty's already abundant gunpowder arsenal.

"Really, they will definitely regret that they didn't kill you in the future! Really!" Xu Chengzong couldn't listen to it any longer. Li Xian was alive, and it was simply a nightmare for powerful officials, merchants, and gentry!

Xu Chengzong is Wei Guogong, the Duke of Ming Dynasty. He knows how huge interests are involved in the imperial examination, but you can't say anything about Li Xian's way of doing things.

Because the added part, in the hands of His Majesty, is indeed a special case.

Li Xian's face became a little angry, and he said loudly: "This rebellion, His Majesty personally went to Nanya, they are still so lawless, are they obedient? Are they loyal?"

"No!"

"Since they are disloyal and disobedient! Then His Majesty has some means to check and balance them, is it too much?"

"Not too much."

Yuan Bin and Xu Chengzong immediately shook their heads like a rattle, and said with certainty: "Not too much, not at all."

Yuan Bin was full of emotion, provoke this Li Xian, do it!Varied!what!

Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and you have to follow the rules when doing things, but Li Xian has no rules to talk about.

The best at dealing with civil servants is the civil servants themselves!These tricks are really more sinister than one!

Yuan Bin and Xu Chengzong walked out of the side hall. Yuan Bin was about to leave in a few twitches, but Xu Chengzong held Yuan Bin back and said, "The door is right there, don't keep climbing over the wall."

Only then did Yuan Bin understand, and said with a smile, "I'm used to it."
