"The land, forests and minerals in Jiaozhi and Guangnan are all belonged to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. All the fertile lands are qualified to farm..."

In the Ming Dynasty Palace, Zhu Youjian was reading the memorial. He thought this sentence was very pleasing and read it over and over again.

This sentence comes from the joint memorial of Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng.

Long before the order to suppress the rebellion in Jiaozhi and Guangnan was issued, Lin Chunhong filed a record in the court and received the tacit approval of Zhu Youjian. Later, Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng were appointed by Lin Chunhong as Jiaozhi and Guangnan governor. Yang Yiren submitted a memorial to Zhu Youjian, suggesting that the court recognize it.

Zhu Youjian hesitated, and later, under Yang Sichang's persuasion, he finally recognised.

Since Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng were the governor appointed by the court, he certainly had the right to report the memorial. According to Lin Chunhong's order, Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng would conquer and govern Jiaozhi and Guangnan's strategies and implementation process were submitted one by one for His Majesty to read.

"The superior troops attack the plan, then attack the diplomatic relations, then attack the troops, and then attack the cities..."

Zhu Youjian read the memorial and suddenly remembered this sentence, thinking that Lin Chunhong's governance of Jiaozhi and Guangnan can be listed as the most classic example of practicing this sentence.

However, when Zhu Youjian continued to read, his face changed. Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng suggested that the Ministry of Rites will set up a special Enko in Jiaozhi this year to collect the hearts of the scholars of Jiaozhi and Guangnan.

Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng also suggested that Jiaozhi and Guangnan scholars could pass the imperial examination or pass the Jinshi and work in any place in the Ming Dynasty, and all the treatment would be like those of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiaenko, accepting Jiaozhi and Guangnan scholars, these are not problems. Zhu Youjian also wanted to accept Jiaozhi and Guangnan scholars' hearts. After all, Jiaozhi and Guangnan still belong to him in terms of reputation.

What Zhu Youjian didn't understand was that Lin Chunhong had already destroyed the Ming Dynasty's official system, so why did he suddenly remember the path of imperial examinations?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was certainly a lifetime honor for the scholars of Jiaozhi and Guangnan, but how could this honor be compared to the power within the control of Jiaozhi, Guangnan or Jingzhou?

Zhu Youjian couldn't figure it out, so he threw this question to the cabinet and asked the cabinet to vote, hoping that Yang Sichang could figure out Lin Chunhong's purpose.

Yang Sichang did not immediately make a bill, but instead made an order requiring Jiaozhi and Guangnan governors to provide household registration and land statistics, and pay taxes to the court like Guangxi.

This requirement is not an exaggeration. After all, Lin Chunhong sent troops under the banner of His Majesty the Emperor and claimed that the land belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Since it belongs to His Majesty, then we should pay taxes, right?

After Zhu Youjian received the bill, he could see at a glance that Yang Sichang wanted to exchange with Lin Chunhong, paying taxes in exchange for the imperial court in Jiaozhi and Guangnan to recruit scholars.

Zhu Youjian was shocked and immediately called Yang Sichang and said, "It is a court ceremony to open a statute to recruit scholars. This matter has been decided early. As for tax payment, there is no rush to make a decision now."

Zhu Youjian said the words in a vague way out of the emperor, which simply shows that now he finally saw Lin Chunhong approaching the court, and there was no need to have another dispute over hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.

Yang Sichang understood in his heart and said decisively: "One thing is the same as one? One thing is the tax of Jiaozhi and Guangnan, and in the future, the tax of Luzon and Java will also be paid."

Jiaozhi?Guangnan?Luzon?Jia?

Zhu Youjian was stunned by Yang Sichang's toughness and could not speak for a moment.

Yang Sichang continued: "The Ministry of Revenue has established a business department under the Ministry of Revenue, and the structure has been basically completed. Each department, each prefecture, and each county has established business-related institutions. Since the workshops and merchants in various places in the Ming Dynasty have been registered in detail, commercial tax should be collected according to the registration. It is better to give the business department the right to collect commercial tax."

This is even more unreliable. If the court could collect taxes south of the Yangtze River, would it have fallen to this point?

However, it was precisely because of these unreliable words that Zhu Youjian finally understood that since Lin Chunhong and Miaoli eroded the power of the Ming Dynasty's center, it would be better to take the initiative to transform the court into a court that meets the requirements of the times, and finally integrate the Jingzhou group.

Zhu Youjian also thought that since he ascended the throne, he seemed to have great power and decided everything with one word. In fact, the power left at his hands is very small. As long as the ministers do not approve of any imperial edict, it will definitely not be able to leave the palace and eventually become a false text.

If the ministers could do things well, Zhu Youjian would have tolerated it. From Longqing, Wanli to Tianqi, his ancestors were like this, nothing strange. What he couldn't stand the most was that these bastards actually messed up the Ming Dynasty, causing internal turmoil all day long, foreign enemies invaded, and finally lost the foreign enemies invaded, and finally created the monster Lin Chunhong.

However, the eunuchs around him were easy to use and listened to him in everything. However, the ministers still remembered the things during the Apocalypse period and tried hard to suppress the eunuchs. Moreover, the eunuchs did not act properly and had extremely limited power.

Instead of watching these bastards corrupt the Ming Dynasty, it is better to introduce the Jingzhou group to the court. Although his power will become smaller, at least he can still manage the Ming Dynasty to a full range of flowers.

When the ministers were bastard, Zhu Youjian would have such an idea. But it was just a thought. If Lin Chunhong was really introduced to the court, Zhu Youjian would have no confidence in his personal safety and the survival of the Ming court.

Finally, Zhu Youjian nodded and said to Yang Sichang: "Let the business department put it in advance, and the rest will be done as you said!"

...

After the news of the imperial court preparing to collect taxes in Jiaozhi, Lin Chunhong was very despised by Yang Sichang's approach to robbery, and said to his left and right: "Yang Sichang wanted to take the imperial examination, but he was timid and dared not do it. When it was our turn to take the surgery, he seemed very reluctant, and he was also thinking about getting benefits, hypocritical! Short-sighted!"

Zhang Daohan said: "Halfness and short-sightedness are not the case. Yang Sichang is unsure of it, so it is true."

This is objective, Lin Chunhong had to admit that Zhang Daohan was right and nodded: "Indeed, Yang Sichang doesn't know which direction we want to change the imperial examination. Naturally, he cannot predict the possible risks. It is normal to be on the fence."

In fact, Lin Chunhong ordered Ma Shiqi and Qian Zuozheng to propose that the court should give special honors to Jiaozhi. Although it had the intention to accept Jiaozhi scholars, more importantly, Lin Chunhong wanted to make some useful attempts to the court's talent ceremony and even the official system to explore experience in the final stabilization of the official system.

The imperial court never opened a sect to recruit scholars in Jiaozhi, Guangnan. In other words, there is no vested interest group for the imperial examination in Jiaozhi. No matter how Lin Chunhong struggled, it would not cause a huge rebound.

As for Jiaozhi, the Guangnan court's previous efforts in imperial examinations, Lin Chunhong could completely ignore it. After all, these people either became dead souls under the knife, were disheartened and returned to the mountains, or spent their leisurely life in Jingzhou.

Yang Sichang saw Lin Chunhong's intention at a glance, so naturally there was no intention to block it. Not blocking it does not mean that Yang Sichang would not take the opportunity to gain benefits from it.

For Lin Chunhong, exploring the official system is much more important than the annual tax revenue of hundreds of thousands. Yang Sichang found out Lin Chunhong's purpose and then he unscrupulously asked for benefits.

The cabinet and the envoys were able to distinguish between the official system and the tax of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although they were a little confused, they still agreed to pay part of the tax revenue of Jiaozhi and Guangnan to the court every year according to the old rules.

In mid-July 14th year of Chongzhen, the tax accounts of Jiaozhi and Guangnan were sent to the Ministry of Revenue. After Chen Qiyu asked someone to verify, he finally confirmed that the total summer tax amount of the two provinces was about 380,000 yuan.

After the Ministry of Revenue signed the document, just one day later, the account established by the Jiaozhi Governor's Office in Guangnan and Jiaozhi was transferred from the account established by the Ministry of Revenue in Yuanfeng Coin Store.

Since the establishment of the Ming Bank, Jingzhou has urged merchants and administrative agencies to establish public accounts to facilitate funding transactions and account checks between them. This wind has been blowing to the court.

Yang Sichang and Chen Qiyu were both heroes of the moment. They saw the benefits of this move at a glance and asked Zhu Youjian to order various departments to open accounts in Yuanfeng Money House, and declared that the world would accept the use of tax payments in various provinces and regions.

The fortune that used to consume a lot of manpower and material resources eventually ended up in his life, which turned into a simple payment.

However, this move did not bring any praise, but instead complained. The establishment of a public account has suppressed desire to a considerable extent, and it is obviously impossible to have no resentment.

In early August of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian issued an order to establish Enke in Jiaozhi and Guangnan, and sent Lin Yuji, the Minister of Rites, to Jiaozhi and Guangnan, to supervise the imperial examinations in the two provinces.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites did not avoid the storm at sea and ran thousands of miles to remote places to supervise the imperial examinations. It is unprecedented.

However, since Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, too many shocking things have happened, and this little thing is nothing.

Lin Chunhong's specifications were no less than those of the court. Zhu Zhiyu, who was still on his way south, refused to take office for the time being, and immediately rushed to Jiaozhou to form a supervision team, and fully organized the two provinces to win the imperial examinations.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and a fight is inevitable.

This is just the prelude. When the imperial court was in Jiaozhi and Guangnan opened Enko in major newspapers, the Ming Dynasty was in a turmoil and everything was said.

However, it was quite surprising that almost all the knowledgeable people agreed that the encores of Jiaozhi and Guangnan were related to the future direction of the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty. Whether to maintain the old system or Lin Chunhong made a set of unrecognizable rules, it was decided by this encore!

So, all the people could no longer sit still and began to act.

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu organized a large number of Guanglushi soldiers, and took a boat from Shanghai to Jiaozhou without hesitation under the banner of consultants.

Of course, the Donglin Party and Fushe would not be behind. Qu Shixi, Du Yinxi, Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai took the initiative in person and also boarded the sea boat from Shanghai, without avoiding the wind and waves, and went to Jiaozhou.

In the remote area of ​​Jiaozhou, so many Chinese elites gathered for the first time, which is unprecedented.

Jiaozhou City is not just the smell of gunpowder getting stronger, but the whole city is filled with gunpowder. As long as there is a little spark, it is enough to ignite a huge fire!
