Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I¡¯ve said it many times before.  In the Age of Discovery, there was no free trade on the oceans.

    Because the existence of competitors will seriously reduce trade profits, making the routes protected by giant ships and cannons unprofitable or even causing serious losses.

    Where did the Dutch East India Company come from?  It was because the competition among sea coachmen was so fierce that they successively established 14 trading companies in distant Asian countries.  Each of these companies separately sent fleets to the Indian Ocean to purchase pepper and spices. As a result, the purchase price of these goods in Asia continued to be raised, and the selling prices in Europe fell seriously. As a result, all companies faced a bankruptcy crisis. The Netherlands worked hard to establish  The East India trade route is about to collapse.

    It was only then that 14 trading companies formed a company with the help of political strongman Johann van Oldenbarnefeldt to monopolize trade with the East.

    Why did the Netherlands and Britain fight to the death for 150 years?  It was because another East India Company emerged in Britain, which also operated ocean trade from the Far East to Europe.  The competition between the two companies made Far East trade unprofitable, and if the merger negotiations failed, they would have to fight to the death.

    Taking history as a guide, Mr. Zhao unswervingly determined that the maritime trade in the East must be monopolized by his own company!  Regardless of whether you are a Frenchman, a Japanese, a Fujian-Guangdong maritime merchantor the Ming Dynasty, whoever wants to get a share of the pie has to first defeat the coast guard fleet he built regardless of the cost.

    Being submissive on land and attacking hard at sea, this is the general policy Mr. Zhao has set for himself.

    ??~~

    The next day, all the officials reluctantly bid farewell to Mr. Li Ge at Jishuitan.

    Seeing the official ship with the flags of "Ge Lao Zhi Shi" and "Yuan Fu Emeritus" slowly sailing out of the water gate next to Desheng Gate and disappearing from everyone's sight, Gao Gong suddenly sighed with emotion.  Said: "This may not be a good ending. Maybe in the future, we will not be as good as him."

    "Haha, no, with Brother Suqing's holy family, I will be a hundred times more prosperous when I retire in the future" Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.  But I felt horrified because in recent decades, few cabinet ministers have died well.  In order not to make the same mistake as his predecessor, the teacher deliberately retired a few years earlier, but he didn't expect that he would still be in trouble later in life.

    ¡°Perhaps it was because of the high risk in this industry that Li Chunfang decided to quit?

    If this is the case, what is the point of going through all the trouble to become the first assistant?

    He suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, is it too early to worry about this?  The person who took over as the chief assistant was Gao Gong, and he didn¡¯t know how to wait until the end of the year

    "Uncle, let's go back!" The sun was warm, the spring breeze was blowing, and Gao Gong was in a good mood.

    Not only did he become the chief minister, he also asked the emperor to resign from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel yesterday as usual, and proposed that the original official should resign Yang Bo and come back to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

    What Long Qing meant was that he would still be in charge of the staff for the time being, so that there would be less constraints on things.  As for Yang Bo, he will come back when he recovers and let him take charge of the Ministry of War with the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

    This means that for the first time, Gao Gong will be the chief minister of the cabinet and also the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. His power is even far greater than that of the prime minister of the previous dynasty. No one in the court can compete with him.  No one is qualified to be his equal ally anymore, only Shunchang Nidie.

    Although Gao Gong knew that this was inappropriate - firstly, it violated precedent and would definitely attract criticism; secondly, with Yang Bo's invincible qualifications and abilities, if he went to take charge of the Ministry of War, Zhang Juzheng would no longer be able to take care of the military, and could only take care of things that were not that important.  The Ministry of Industry This will undoubtedly weaken my uncle's authority, and even being promoted to the second minister of the cabinet cannot make up for it.

    But Gao Gong still reluctantly agreed.  Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, which cannot be measured by common sense.  If you want to overcome obstacles and implement reforms, of course, the more power you have, the better.  Opportunities are placed in front of you, but you are hesitant and dare not accept them. What is the difference between you and Li Chunfang?

    ¡°And now he only believes in himself and no one else, including his uncle

    Previously, Feng Bao struck Chen Hong quickly and accurately, with one fatal blow, which made Gao Gong suspicious of his uncle.  I think he is dishonest, colluding with the eunuchs, trying to undermine him, beating the dog and bullying the master!

    This person is afraid of making blind associations. Gao Gong also thought that when Zhang Siwei¡¯s two letters came out, he seemed to be confused for a moment. He was completely led by his uncleoh no, that guy Zhang Juzheng!  Could it be that the Jing people were killing people with a borrowed knife to eliminate competitors who threatened his status?

    Thinking back to the time when Zhang Juzheng dared to stab his teacher in the back, Gao Gong felt that he had no reason to be soft on him.  So I felt it was necessary to warn this dishonest Jingren!

    In fact, Mr. Zhang was really wronged. When Feng Bao attacked Chen Hong, it was the boy named Zhao who was behind it. He was completely kept in the dark.  But the son-in-law is half the son-in-law of the father-in-law, and he has a high-arched body.It's not wrong to put it on his butt

    ??~~

    Zhang Juzheng, who did not know that he had been deprived of power at this time, also smiled and was sent off by all the officials, and he and Gao Gong got into the eight-carriage sedan Of course, they took two sedans.

    After tea, the sedan returned to the palace and landed in front of Wenyuan Pavilion.

    Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan first and walked to the high-arch sedan to wait.

    With Shen Yingkui's help, Gao Gong slowly got off the sedan, stretched out and said casually: "By the way, uncle, I thought about it carefully, and I'd like to talk to your son-in-law about what I said last time."  Okay. If he is willing to cooperate, it will be a great blessing."

    As he spoke, he asked Zhang Juzheng with a smile: "Where would you like to meet us, your home or mine?"

    "Well, I haven't had time to report to Brother Su Qing" Zhang Juzheng said with a bitter smile: "The assassin sent someone to my house this morning, saying that there was something going on at sea and that he was anxious to leave Beijing. He should have passed by now.  It¡¯s Tongzhou.¡±

    "Ah?" Gao Gong opened his mouth in surprise: "Then when did he come back?"

    "I'm sure, I'm determined not to delay the wedding date." Zhang Juzheng said bravely.

    "Damn it, it's obvious that if you hear the news, you can hide away and not see me!" Gao Gong stomped his feet fiercely and said fiercely: "Hurry up and chase that kid back!"

    "Isn't this appropriate?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help frowning, why did Zhao Hao hide out?  Let¡¯s make it clear that it is non-violence and non-cooperation regarding the shipping yamen.  What could be done by chasing him back, forcing him to agree to share in the maritime trade?  Is this something humans do?  Besides, is that kid a soft persimmon that he can manipulate?

    If he was really a soft persimmon, Gao Beard would have squeezed him out of the water a long time ago. Why would he need to invite him to dinner to discuss things?

    "Then since Taiyue feels this way, let's forget it." Gao Gong's smile gradually turned cold and said: "It's just that this guy is well-informed. When I was having a drink at the Li Mansion the night before, I proposed for the first time that the court should do something about it.  Shipping, he ran away early this morning like his butt was on fire, and I don¡¯t know who tipped him off.¡±

    "This" Zhang Juzheng heard the smell of gunpowder in his words and quickly guessed: "Lao Li Ge's young master was also there that day. He seems to be that boy's apprentice as well."

    "Oh, it's Young Master Li, not you?" Gao Gong glanced sideways at Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Zhang Ge feels sorry for his son-in-law. There is nothing wrong with telling him in advance."

    "A lower official can distinguish between official and private matters." Zhang Juzheng had veins pulsing on his forehead, and he couldn't figure out whether Gao Gong had taken dynamite or an aphrodisiac today.  As for making it difficult for yourself to step down in public over such a trivial matter?

    "Hahaha, it's just a joke. Uncle, don't take it so seriously." Seeing him sullen, Gao Gong laughed loudly and said, "Then just leave, the boy. Anyway, the monk can't escape from the temple. Nian  He has to come back and marry your girl before then, we¡¯ll talk about it then.¡±

    "I thought Mr. Ge was really angry." Zhang Juzheng also managed a smile.

    "How can I be as knowledgeable as a young boy? Besides, you can't look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. He is my uncle's son-in-law. Why should I treat him differently?" Gao Gong smiled and patted Zhang Juzheng's shoulder.  : "I really envy you, uncle, for having such a good son-in-law and a bunch of sons."

    As he spoke, he sighed and said: "Oh, I don't have a son, but only one daughter who is still a widower. What a tragedy"

    Zhang Juzheng's heart softened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Gao Gong with some sympathy. It doesn't matter how powerful this old man is in his sixties. It is really tragic to have no son in this era.

    He comforted Gao Gong and said, "It's not good to have too many sons. A half-grown man will eat me to death. This little salary is not enough to cover expenses."

    Who would have thought that Gao Gong suddenly said quietly: "With such a rich son-in-law, are you afraid that you won't be able to support your sons?"

    Zhang Juzheng immediately realized as if he had eaten a fly that Gao Gong was not impulsive at all, but had deep prejudices against himself and Zhao Hao.

    80% I think I am that boy¡¯s protective umbrella!

    When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill running down his back - if Gao Gong regarded the marriage between Xiao Jing and that boy as a sign that he had fallen in love with Zhao Hao, and used his daughter to take him for his own use, there would be a big problem.  Got it!

    ¡°In that case, if I spoke for Zhao Hao before, he would be wearing the same pants as the Xishan Group or even the Jiangnan Group.  Even Zhang Siwei's bad debt will be blamed on himself!

    ¡°Now I have changed from a harmless uncle to an ambitious person who must be strictly guarded against. Then the days to come will be too difficult.

    This is truly an eternal injustice!  Bu Gu never thought about replacing him, he just wanted to do a good job with Brother He Suqing!

    He hurriedly swore to the sky that he had no choice but to agree to this marriage, that he had absolutely no affection for that boy, and that he would never ask for a penny from that boy!  I won¡¯t treat him with pretentious words in the future¡­

    Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was so frightened, Gao Gong laughed heartily and said, "Look, are you serious again? If you do this again, I won't dare to joke anymore."

    "Really, am I wrong again? It seems that things are really wrong today." Zhang Juzheng smiled sarcastically, took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Su Qing laughed."

    "Go back and have a good rest." Gao Gong smiled and nodded. In his opinion, it was enough to beat Zhang Juzheng and make him accept it.  After all, Guan Gong still needs a red rabbit to ride on cross it out and change it to, Zhou Cang carries a big sword.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He swore and swore that he had no choice but to agree to this marriage, that he had no good feelings for that boy, and that he would never ask for a penny from that boy!  I won¡¯t treat him with pretentious words in the future¡­
