Chapter 1071 Final Disposition

Bumu Butai knew that Zhu Xu was going to ask about this, and had thoughts in his mind, but at this moment, she looked at Zhu Xu's calm side face, pursed her lips, changing her original idea, and said: "I believe that Nanzhili cannot be chaotic, but there must be some punishment. To arrest the big and let the small and severely punish the evildoers, it will not only shock the sluts, nor will it hurt the gangsters, affect the taxes of the court, and shake the country's roots."

Although Bumubutai was a Mongolian and did not grow up in the Ming Dynasty, he still read a lot of books and his ideas became increasingly close to the mainstream ideas of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu could understand that from their perspective, doing this is the most appropriate, safest and best way to deal with it.

But in history, it was this kind of "safety" that pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss and there was no hope of turning back.

Zhu Xu held the herbal tea cup and said slowly: "Well, let's talk about other things."

Bumu Butai was in awe of Zhu Xu, unable to figure out his thoughts, and pursed his lips, and said for a moment, "There is no yamen in Shenlong Mansion, and it is entirely under the supervision of the seven ministers. I and Duke Zhang are fixed. The others are elected by the merchants registered in Shenlong Mansion. They have arbitration, investigation, guard, coast guard and other institutions. There is basically no problem in operation. I am still further improving..."

Zhu Xu listened expressionlessly and did not interrupt.

The institutional settings of the Shenlong Mansion are completely different from the existing system of the Ming Dynasty. They are more like an anarchic place, with a pure merchant territory, but they are similar, with all internal organs.

"Shenlong Mansion monopolizes the maritime trade. The maritime trade of neighboring countries requires the approval of the Shenlong Mansion, otherwise all sea ships will be seized and confiscated. Luzon, the old port and various places trade very frequently, and some specialties are shocking. In addition, the continuous opening of the maritime trade in Ming Dynasty, the annual income will be quite amazing..."

"At present, some fleets are very close to the Western barbarians and go far to the sea. I have repeatedly warned them that safety is necessary... Some are also equipped with firearms, and every time they return, they bring back a lot of strange things, which were sold at a sky-high price in my Ming Dynasty..."

"I am ready to open two more places in the second half of this year, one is Guangzhou and the other is Tianjin. As long as the customs control is strictly controlled, I believe there will be no big problems..."

BumuButai was concise and said that the situation in the Shenlong Mansion was the one that Zhu Xu was most interested in and concerned about the most.

After a while, Zhu Xu handed her the teacup and said, "Well, drink a little water, by the way, do you know the other side of Japan?"

Zhu Xu had already known what Bumubutai said.

Bumu Butai took a sip of herbal tea, looked at Zhu Xu with beautiful eyes, and said, "Yes, I am still hanging on me. They can't enter Beijing, so they can only go to Nanzhili as merchants."

Zhu Xu leaned on the rattan chair, wiped his sweat, and said, "What do you think?"

Bumu Butai's ambition for Zhu Xu, or the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty, now there is no ambition to expand Zhu Xu's territory. She paused for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think you might as well give the Japanese a reassurance and let them continue to flee internally. The emperor sits on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, finds the right opportunity to beat Japan in one fell swoop."

Zhu Xu turned his head to look at her and said, "What price do you think is the right one?"

Bumubutai had already thought about it and said, "I tribute to my Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to three million stones of grain, five million silver and ten thousand taels of gold every year. Ignore the rest. The crown prince of the Japanese and the heir of the Tokugawa family will join our Ming Dynasty as a proton."

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing. Bumubutai was a lion's mouth. I'm afraid that Japan may not be able to show off so much.

Bumubutai knew why Zhu Xu was laughing, and his face was still deserted, saying, "If the Navy fired a few shots in the Shugmen Strait, I believe that the price of Japan will be willing to pay."

During the Shimahara Rebellion, Japan had mobilized 70,000 to 80,000 regular troops, and in addition to the Kyukuni Island itself, there were more than 100,000, but it was still not extinguished. In addition, the Ming Dynasty had either been exposed or secretly interfered with it. Japan is now in a dilemma.

If you want to destroy the Shimahara Rebellion, you still don’t know how many troops you will call and how long it will take. You also need to consider the degree of infiltration of the Ming Dynasty and its strategic purpose.

If the Tokugawa shogunate let the family go, then Kyukuni Island will completely break away from the control of the Tokugawa family, and even fight the Guanmen Strait and press against Edo!

The current Shimahara Rebellion is like the Shaanxi and Xi Rebellion in the Ming Dynasty in history. It requires suppression at all costs and must not be compromised!

Compared with foreign enemies, the first choice is to destroy the domestic threat!

As long as the Ming Dynasty showed enough deterrence, even if the Tokugawa shogunate gritted his teeth and cut his flesh, he could only give it to him according to the Ming Dynasty's requirements. After all, they did not have Shanhaiguan. If the Ming Dynasty's navy cruised in the Guanmen Strait, the more than 100,000 troops on the island land would be kites with broken strings, and it would be sooner or later to perish!

"Well, listen to you, I'll let the Navy go around." Zhu Xu said with a smile.

Bumu Butai smiled reservedly. This time she was here to send Zhu Ciyi to Beijing and to "take credit", which allowed them to have some status in Zhu Xu's heart and some position in the palace, which was not only optional, but also bullied.

"I'll go to your place tonight and take care of Ci Yi. It's too hot this day, so it's better to stay in the house." Zhu Xu clapped his hands and stood up and said.

"Yes." Bumu Butai said. She naturally couldn't bear to let Zhu Ciyi go to the capital, but she also knew that this matter was not up to her. It was not just Zhu Xu's attitude. The concubine and the queen mother in the palace were quite tough. She was the royal descendant and could not leave her outside.

Zhu Xu turned around the East Warehouse. Because there was ice charcoal, it was a little more comfortable, but it was even more wet. Sitting on the chair, Zhu Xu drank some ice water, cheered up, wiped the sweat from his hands, and picked up the memoir on the table.

"Is there anything special today?" Zhu Xu asked casually while flipping around.

Liu Shimin stepped forward and said, "The cabinet sent the placement strategy of Nanzhili, and the Qin Grand Governor made a memorial, and the memorial of Wen Tiren, the governor of Bei'an, has also arrived."

Zhu Xu immediately put down the memorial book, found out the cabinet's, and opened it to read it.

The cabinet continued their usual habits. He obviously cared about his attitude towards the Nanzhili incident. He planned to be executed for more than 100 people, and more than 300 people were exiled. Others also punished each, which was an unprecedented harsh disposal.

Zhu Xu looked at it, shook his head, and threw it aside and kept it unsent.

He picked up another one and said, "Where has the Hongwu number gone now?"

Liu Shimin recalled and said, "The Hongwu fleet is huge and has a relatively slow speed. The news came from the previous time that it had just passed Ceylon. Now, I'm afraid I haven't had half of the itinerary."

Zhu Xu turned the memorial book with some thoughts and nodded silently.

Now I want to go there at both sides of the east and west, so it takes at least two or three years to go back and forth. Zhu Xu hopes that the "Ten Thousand Trade Conference" of Shenlong Mansion can be as grand as possible, open a gap in the feudal barrier of a thousand years, and bring back what I need to deal with the disaster, so that the Ming Dynasty will not be too difficult or weak in this cool and bad period.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "This conference time is postponed a little longer. He sent an order to the cabinet to support the "Trade Conference of the Worlds" in Shenlong Mansion. In the name of our Ming Dynasty, he sent letters to surrounding countries and tribes to encourage them to participate in this event. The necessary travel expenses and meals can be paid in advance. This conference must be held regularly. Don't care about the money, just spread it out..."

As Zhu Xu's close attendant, Liu Shimin knew that Zhu Xu's strong support for "business" was just a little restrained due to the current natural disasters and difficult environment. He bowed and said, "Yes, I'll go to the cabinet now."

If it was other times, the cabinet would have to push the other side to block such matters, but with the great reason of "buying food and dealing with disasters", the cabinet would do its best.

Just as Liu Shimin was about to leave, he turned back and said, "Your Majesty, it will take two days for Gu Yanwu to come. Do you want to urge me?"

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial in his hand and shook his head, "He is still too young, he has not studied enough, and he has given him another five days, so don't worry. By the way, let him participate in this year's imperial examination, and then stay in the Zhengyuan for a while and release it to the State Administration of Taxation."

Gu Yanwu has rich works in history and has studied all aspects of the Ming Dynasty's military and political affairs. Now Gu Yanwu is still a little younger and needs more training.

This year's imperial examination is scheduled for September, which is very fast. This time, it covers a lot and is destined to be a "lively" grand event.

Liu Shimin didn't think much and said, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Xu looked at the memorial in his hand, for some reason, but his mind was a little dissatisfied. He frowned, and then woke up a little. He took the memorial in the cabinet again, pressed a white note, and raised his pen to write on it: Jiang and Su banned the imperial examination for five years, and the governor's yamen was to lower the imperial examination for three levels to retain it. Those who had a lot of land carried out the food payment method. Those who participated in this matter were prohibited from imperial examination for three generations and entered the officialdom.

Zhu Xu put this imperial note in the memorial book and still put it aside, leaving it alone without sending it out.
