Luzon?
Fang Jifan suddenly became interested.
He glanced at Wang Jinyuan and said, "You bitch, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wang Jinyuan looked aggrieved: "The villain deserves to die."
He immediately explained: "This memorial was sent to Quanzhou by speedboat. Quanzhou felt that the situation was urgent. Since it was sent to the government of this town, it sent a flying pigeon to deliver the message. Master, these flying pigeons are very valuable ¡¡±
"Fei Ge Chuan Shu" is indeed very expensive, and most people really can't afford it.
¡°After all, to domesticate homing pigeons, you need to set up stations in various places, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Moreover, this method of passing letters is not reliable, because no one can guarantee that if the pigeon flies halfway, it will be targeted by a conscientious guy like Zhu Houzhao, and then shot down, and then routinely boiled and plucked. , remove the internal organs, cut into pieces, add onions, ginger and garlic, add some soy sauce, add a little thirteen spices, stew.
There are too many variables in the process, so the imperial court will never choose this method for official documents.
But soon, someone discovered the importance of message transmission.
Suppose there is a locust plague somewhere.
Whoever knows the news in advance will be able to realize that food prices may rise. For those who have been speculating in Beijing for a long time, if the advance is not to say a day, but even an hour, then purchase in advance and wait for the price to rise. , absolutely amazing.
With this huge benefit, many large business houses have begun to train homing pigeons and set up pigeon stations in various places. Not only large trading houses, but also exchanges also have specialized information transmission networks.
??Zhenguofu and Xishan are naturally unavoidable. Fang Jifan's pigeons are big,not too round, and extremely strong.
Of course, when flying pigeons pass letters, the news is often brief, just a few words. After all, too much nonsense requires more pen and ink, which will bring a huge burden to the pigeons.
Therefore Fang Jifan only received a small note, which basically mentioned the matter of the report jointly signed by the governor of Luzon and the gentry. It is expected that the report will be sent to the Zhenguo Mansion in ten days and a half.
Fang Jifan pinched the note, a little confused, then frowned and said: "Aren't these guys always not interested in war? Usually when there is a war in the court, they are all yin and yang."
If something goes wrong, you will become a monster!
Wang Jinyuan said with a silly smile: "It's not because of Sihai Commercial Bank, these two capitals, fourteen provinces, and various capitals, the people can probably eat enough. When people are full, they want to eat well. Many people I like to eat some desserts and use some spices. In the past, it was about eating well, but now more and more people pay attention to eating well, so there is a huge demand for canteens and spices. The most exported goods from the Ming Dynasty by Sihai Trading Company are tea, silk and porcelain , there are also many iron tools, but what can be imported into the Ming Dynasty is mostly spices, wood and sugar, especially sugar. As much as is shipped, merchants rush to buy it. Those gentry in Luzon, the fields produce sugar and spices. On the one hand, it is also produced in Java, and the Portuguese did not ban trade with merchants from all over the world. The sugar industry in Java has become a serious problem for Luzon sugar. On the other hand, if the Ming Dynasty takes Luzon, they can take advantage of the situation. Annexing land not only eliminates competitors but also increases one's own production. Thisis not killing two birds with one stone."
After hearing a bunch of information that Wang Jinyuan suddenly revealed, Fang Jifan took a deep breath.
This group of dogs in Jiangnan actually turned into wolves when they arrived in Luzon.
??But think about it carefully, what is etiquette, justice and shame? How many of these scholars have always enjoyed the benefits of fame and made a living by exploiting tenant farmers? Isn't it ridiculous that a group of people like this shout about propriety, justice and integrity all day long?
I think back then, this group of Confucian scholars were all extremely strong people. During the Warring States Period, they were attached to the monarch everywhere and expanded their territories. By the time of Qin and Han Dynasties, Gongyang School instilled the idea of ??revenge, and countless Confucian students, Some made suggestions for the expansion of the Han Empire, and some even did it themselves.
Now if you think about it carefully, the difference between the Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties and the Confucianism of the Qin and Han dynasties is not that there is a problem with their learning methods.
The fundamental reason is that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty at that time had not yet reached its peak. There were many foreign races nearby, occupying fertile land. For Confucian scholars, what they relied on was the land, the empire's The broader the territory, the more advantageous it is for them. Therefore, they continue to practice the ideas of great unification and revenge, seizing Baiyue, seizing Hetao, and seizing the land of Liaodong outside the pass for the empire.
But later, the territory that the Central Plains dynasty could use for farming reached its limit, so that Confucian scholars began tonbsp; The eunuch's face twitched: "What a coincidence, he is reallyalsosick"
""
Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.
¡°It was you who boasted at the beginning, but now it¡¯s you who have disappeared.
"Your Majesty" Xie Qian glanced at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously: "Look"
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and they all ran away, leaving me alone to suffer this criticism?
"Then let's wait until the illness is better. Xiao Banban, go visit the prince and Duke Qi. I heard that the prince and Fang Qing's family are ill. I am very worried and have no intention of discussing with the court. I will call off the court today."
Many of the officials shook their heads. The prince and Duke of Qi were really impressed by them. They had never seen such shameless people.
"Your Majesty, let's discuss it some other time." Xie Qian seemed to be pursuing him. The prince and the Duke of Qi would eventually recover from their illness.
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time, looking a little embarrassed. These two deceivers are really really
Emperor Hongzhi said with a gloomy face: "Then let's choose a day"
"Long live my emperor" Xie Qian bowed without hesitation.
After hearing this, all the officials seemed to feel that the prince and the Duke of Qi could not hide from the monks, but could not hide in the temple, so they all shouted: "Long live my emperor!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
