Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Chapter 299 I have Daming too

Xu Xianchun was stopped by Mo Hua's words.

For Xu Xianchun, it's no problem for him to kill people with a knife, or play some kind of framing.

But if you want to let yourself engage in messy communication theories, isn't that nonsense?

After thinking about it, Xu Xianchun said, "Xu is really not very good at these things. However, Xu has a suggestion that the old man can refer to."

Mo Hua said: "I am willing to listen carefully."

Xu Xianchun said: "Confucianism is powerful now. Although His Majesty has deposed Duke Yansheng, its power should not be underestimated. The old man might as well take a detour and not confront Confucianism head-on.

In Xu's opinion, it is better to spread it in the Royal Academy first, and then build an academy to impart knowledge after waiting for more people.

As long as the students of the academy can enter the Royal Academy after graduation, there will definitely be more students who are willing to study in the academy.

Over time, as long as there are more people, it will become a climate, so why be afraid of Confucianism? "

Mo Hua asked unwillingly: "So you can't confront Confucianism head-on?"

Xu Xianchun smiled and said: "Yes. However, although Confucianism has many mountains within its own school, once the Mohism sect appears in the world, I am afraid that the various factions of Confucianism will unite to suppress the Mohism sect.

Even with His Majesty's protection, the Mo sect can beat the world, are all the readers disciples of Confucianism? "

No matter how unwilling Mo Hua was, he knew that what Xu Xianchun said was the truth.

Ever since the Mohist school was overshadowed by the Confucianism once, it has been so weak that it can only behave like a man with its tail between its legs, not even daring to take risks.

Now, even though he is remembered by the emperor, and seeing such a chance to make a comeback, he can't just go against Confucianism so blatantly.

After all, there is an old saying that goes well, once the emperor, there are courtiers.

The current emperor values ​​the Mo family, so what about the next emperor?

If the next emperor doesn't value the Mo family, will the days return to the previous state?

What's more, since the Mohist school has popped up now, will Confucianism be more crazily suppressed because of the change of the emperor in the future?

Mo Hua didn't dare to gamble.

It took all the courage of Mo Hua to put the treasure on Emperor Chongzhen and bet on this game.

If it weren't for what Xu Xianchun described about what Emperor Chongzhen did after he ascended the throne, Mo Hua wouldn't even have the courage to let the Momen come out of the mountain-leaving some women, children and the elderly behind, and leading some people to Beijing first. because of this.

If today's world really values ​​Momen, and Momen has a chance to flourish, then they will bet on all their cards and options.

If you just want to use Momen's organ techniques, that's okay, anyway, most of the ones brought here are skillful craftsmen, and they are enough for the emperor to drive.

In this way, even if something happens in the future, the Mo Sect's secret bases in Tianjiazhuang and outside of Tianjiazhuang can still guarantee the continuous inheritance of the Mohist family.

Xu Xianchun didn't know what Mo Hua was thinking, but felt that his task was finally completed, so he took good care of everyone in the Mo Sect along the way.

After arriving in the capital and settling down the people of the Mo Sect, Xu Xianchun first went to the palace to have an audience with Emperor Chongzhen.

After listening to Xu Xianchun's narration, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled: "This Lin Weifeng is very interesting. Send someone to get in touch with him and see if he can work for me. If he is willing, let him be born."

Xu Xianchun bowed and said yes, but for a while he became a little jealous of Lin Weifeng - Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take Lin Weifeng as a private minister.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what Xu Xianchun was thinking.

The flood of private salt, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, is counting forward and backward, except that the Taizu of the new dynasty completely settled the private salt issue after the founding of the country, and for the remaining thousands of years, private salt It has not been settled.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the profit of private salt is too great.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered that later generations always said that arms and drugs were the most profitable. In fact, the profits of smuggling were no less than these two.

Take a look at the powerful groups in the world, which ones have nothing to do with smuggling.

Even the famous old Lai of the Red Chamber, who was also a good smuggler back then.

But the current Daming is different from the later generations. There are too many items that can be smuggled in later generations, but Daming does not.

What is making huge profits is the smuggling of grain and ironware to Liaodong. The profits in the middle can make those brave businessmen beat people's brains into dog brains.

But the end of the eight locust merchants, and the end of the Wu family later, did frighten a group of people.

In addition, the navy of Ming Dynasty once again set up giant ship cannons, and Zheng Zhilong, Li Zizi and others guarded the door at sea, which made the cost of smuggling more and more expensive, so there are more and more wealthy businessmen who are willing to do this kind of thing. few.

But private salt is different.

Salt from the official saltworks in Yangzhou, assuming that a catty of salt costs one cent of silver, as long as the salt is obtained and transported out for resale, it can be changed to five cents of silver.

Not to mention there are large and small private saltworks.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to the part of private salt. He always felt that as long as the people had salt to eat, there were more people who bought private salt, and he was afraid that the salt could be sold cheaper.

Just thinking of the guy named Zhang Cheng in the famous historical reference material "Tang Zhuan" of later generations, and Cheng Chumo's teaser, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't let go.

At this time, the filtering methods are really limited, and the salt from many private saltworks may be poisonous.

Even if it doesn't appear for a while, but how long has it been?

Don't look at Emperor Chongzhen, who has pus on the top of his head and sores on the soles of his feet. He asked the eunuchs to mix lead powder with salt and sell it to Liaodong, but this guy couldn't bear to let the people of Ming Dynasty suffer this kind of disaster.

But the news that Xu Xianchun brought back was good news.

After all, although Lin Weifeng made a lot of money himself, more of it was distributed to the people, which can be regarded as good and bad.

It was based on the principle of punishing the former and killing the later, curing the disease and saving the patient, so Emperor Chongzhen planned to give this guy named Lin Weifeng a chance.

If you can collect it for your own use, then you can set up a Daming Royal Salt Company, which is responsible for the production of table salt.

Isn't it just salt? I don't make money anymore, so I lose money so that the people of Daming can eat safe salt.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen ordered again: "Send people to Yangzhou to find out the criminal evidence of those guys who smuggle salt but don't care about the lives of the people.

There are also the history of the Lianghuai salt transportation and the history of the Lianghuai salt transportation censor. Let me check them out. I want to see how rich these two guys and their subordinates are. "

Xu Xianchun bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do the History of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation and the Royal History of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation need to be taken into Beijing?"

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said: "First find out their wealth and the situation of the three clans. At that time, they will be settled in the court. What's the hurry now, there is Lin Weifeng on the left and right to make the people feel at ease." Salt."

After Xu Xianchun bowed again, Emperor Chongzhen ordered again: "Let Mo Hua enter the palace, I want to see you."

After entering the palace and seeing the ceremony, Mo Hua waited obediently for Emperor Chongzhen to question him.

It's just that Mo Hua really couldn't think of what words to use to describe Emperor Chongzhen.
