My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 267 Do you want to rebel?

Su Ze continued to go north, and in Huai'an, he met salt merchants from Huizhou Prefecture who lived in the Hexia area.

Under Xu Guo's recommendation, Su Zeliang revealed his identity as Fang Wanghai's son-in-law, and promised these salt merchants that this batch of newly released salt quotations could be exchanged first.

When Su Ze returned to Nanjing City in March, at his suggestion, Fang Wanghai set up a salt introduction office in Nanjing City.

The function of the Yanyin Office is to confirm the rights of the Yanyin. All merchants who have Yanyin on hand can take the Yanyin to register at the Yanyin Office, and register in the order of the date of issuance of the Yanyin from new to old.

The Yanyin promises that in the future, the newly produced salt will be exchanged in the order from new to old, that is, merchants holding newer salts can give priority to salt, while merchants holding older salts will have to wait in line Extract salt.

It is not just the issuance of new quotations this time. In the future, someone who uses warehouse banknotes to exchange for new salt quotations will also be automatically ranked at the front of this exchange order, and salt can be mentioned first.

As soon as this order from the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs came out, the whole of Nanzhili was naturally outraged.

Especially those big families who had a lot of salt in their hands, Huating Xu's family and Linhuaihou Li's family protested.

Suddenly, a large number of impeachment memorials flew to the capital, and Nanjing officials impeached Fang Wanghai one after another, saying that he had colluded with salt merchants.

However, in order to be able to sell the newly issued salt this time, the emperor still supported Fang Wanghai this time.

All the memorials to impeach Fang Wanghai were kept unpublished, and it is said that the emperor summoned Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, on a rare occasion.

After April, the Xu family of Huating and the Li family of Linhuai Hou who had caused the most trouble stopped, and Fang Wanghai's salt inventory from Shandong also arrived in Shanghai.

Su Ze also inspected the Nanzhili Saltworks, searched for the residual salt and industrial salt in the saltworks, not only exchanged all the newly released salt notes this time, but also exchanged some of the salt notes owed.

This also gave hope to those big households holding Yanyin, and all of a sudden they went to the Yanyin office to register.

After finishing the work, Su Ze immediately asked Fang Wanghai for leave to go back to take care of Fang Ruolan, and stopped asking about the Nanjing household affairs.

Fang Wanghai was reluctant to part with Su Ze at first, but he couldn't stand Mrs. Li's Hedong Lion Roar, so in the end he let Su Ze go home to take care of Fang Ruolan.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, in October, Fang Ruolan gave birth to a baby boy. With Su Ze's Lv10 medical skills, the mother and child were safe.

Su Ze picked up the baby in his hands, and once again felt the flesh and blood connection to this world.

This time, Su Ze was a little shaken in his firm belief in rebellion.

Is it really right to be so obsessed with the rebellious self since time travel?

He saw Fang Ruolan holding the child, Fang Cuiping who was busy, and Fang Wanghai who was waiting for news in the front hall.

As long as he continues to improve his imperial examination skills, Su Ze can be admitted to the Jinshi with his systematic ability, and even with his understanding of the court and the emperor, he can write articles that suit the emperor's appetite, and there is absolutely no problem in getting a second-class Jinshi.

Now in Nanzhili and Fujian, Su Ze's reputation is in full swing. Not only major academies have invited him to give lectures, but also various literary associations have invited him to participate, but Su Ze used to take care of his wife during this period.

The influence of "Jing Shibao" is huge, covering the entire Southern Zhili area. The editor-in-chief selected by Su Ze, Gui Youguang, changed his previous gentle style of writing and wrote several articles in a row denouncing the current abuses!

The sharp criticism and Gui Youguang's plain writing style have played a cruel critical effect, and every time it is published, it will arouse discussions among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Tong Yan Shuo" has become the most popular literary magazine nowadays, with countless submissions in each issue, and Xu Guo even feels that he is busier than before before he split the newspaper.

Throughout October, Su Ze took care of Fang Ruolan and his son at home, and he kept receiving letters from Changningwei.

Lin Mojun bought land from fishermen on Dayuan Island, rented a pier, and organized Japanese slaves, Quti people, and Fujian-Guangzhou immigrants to open up wasteland on the island. Now there is a thousand-person village on Dayuan Island. plantation.

Although Eunuch Hu’s artemisinin extraction work is still in progress, through the knowledge of epidemic prevention, clean water, and a large number of anti-mosquito measures, I don’t know whether it is luck or these measures have worked, but there has been no outbreak among immigrants. scale of malaria.

At the same time, Lin Mojun also wrote a letter to Su Ze, talking about one thing.

Through the interrogation of the Japanese captives, Lin Mojun learned that there are a large number of Ming slaves on the island of Kyushu in the Japanese country.

These are the people who were plundered by the Japanese pirates from the coastal areas of Daming during the several Japanese invasions.

According to the Japanese warrior who was captured by Lin Mojun, in many areas of Kyushu, 30% of the Ming slaves were working in the fields.

For the people of Ming Dynasty who were taken away by Japanese pirates, men were driven to work in the fields, women were rewarded to nobles and warriors, and craftsmen were incorporated into craftsman camps.

Some ordinary Japanese warriors made money, and would also buy Ming slaves to help them farm. According to this Japanese warrior, tens of thousands of Ming people were imprisoned in the Japanese country and enslaved.

Hearing this news, Lin Mojun was naturally very angry, and even wanted to lead troops directly to rescue these Ming compatriots.

However, Su Ze still wrote a letter to persuade her. Now Changningwei's sea power is okay, but there are still too few soldiers for landing operations.

However, he couldn't just watch these compatriots suffer. Su Ze asked Lin Mojun to contact the Ryukyu merchants to try to redeem these Ming slaves with Daming silk.

Since defeating the Shimadzu family last time, the Japanese daimyos of Kyushu have changed their attitude towards Ryukyu, especially the Bungo Otomo family, who have always been at odds with the Shimadzu family, have established business relations with Ryukyu.

The Shimadzu family is also worthy of being Japanese people, capable of bending and stretching, and they even use the banner of Otomo's family to trade with Ryukyu people.

When these Japanese lords heard that Ming slaves could be exchanged for silk, they agreed one after another. Lin Mojun exchanged 1,000 Ming slaves from Wa for the first time, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Lin Mojun temporarily placed them on Dong'ao Island, and sent them to Dayuan Island when some of them recovered.

The industry under Su Ze's command is getting bigger and bigger. With his current situation, if the imperial examination does not mean that he cannot enter the cabinet, even if he does not continue the imperial examination, he can still be a rich man.

If the historical line does not change, it is now the 37th year of Jiajing, that is, 1558 A.D., and there are still 87 years before the official demise of the Ming Dynasty in 1644. Su Ze can also arrange for his descendants to take refuge at sea. You must know that Zheng Chenggong separatist regime , It also lasted until the Kangxi period.

In the four years of the Ming Dynasty, Su Ze had a teacher, a classmate, a friend, and now a wife and a son.

Through these four years, he has a fortune, a reputation, and a future.

Why rebel?

Su Ze held his son in his arms and asked this question repeatedly. Could it be that, like Zhang Juzheng, he entered the cabinet to pay respects and gradually improved the Ming Dynasty?

It is now the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, and Yan Song, the power minister, will fall in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng began to take power. If we start liver skills now, we might not be able to catch up with Zhang Juzheng's reform.

With this in mind, in November of the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Su Ze organized the child's full moon ceremony at home.

Fang Ruolan hugged her son and came to Su Ze's study. The two had been married for nearly a year, and their son was born. Fang Ruolan also felt that Su Ze's mood was a little abnormal.

These days after marriage, Su Ze loves herself very much and loves her children very much, but Fang Ruolan still feels that Su Ze has a lot of worries.

Fang Ruolan didn't know why Su Ze was worried. Today she handed her son over to the nanny, and walked to Su Ze's study wearing a fox fur cape.

"Sir, the congratulatory gift from Fujian has already been put into storage. The golden lock of longevity that Lin Baihu gave is too precious. Should I return the gift immediately during the Chinese New Year, or should I remember to return the gift when Lin Baihu gets married in the future."

Su Ze was writing quickly, and he said without raising his head: "Lin Baihu and I are friends, just remember these things, don't rush back."

"Would you like to see the gift from the elders in the family?"

"It's up to the lady to decide. I can rest assured that you will take care of the housework."

"Xianggong has something on his mind these few days?" Fang Ruolan asked straight to the point.

Su Ze stopped writing and said, "Maybe I'm too tired."

"What is Mr. Xiang writing?"

Su Ze handed what he had written to Fang Ruolan and said, "Writing to Governor Hu about the banknote tariff plan, Xu Wenchang wrote a letter a few days ago. This year, Zhejiang Governor's Yamen has delivered the banknote tariffs, saying that more anti-Japanese coupons will be issued this year. Father-in-law Let me see how much hair is suitable."

Fang Ruolan said: "I read in the "Warning World Daily" that Zhejiang has won several battles this year, and the Japanese pirates have been driven out of Zhejiang?"

"The two generals Yu and Qi fought well, especially in the battle of Pinghu. General Yu wiped out thousands of Japanese pirates, and only then did Zhejiang win."

In the past six months, Su Ze and Yu Dayou have communicated frequently. It has to be said that Yu Dayou can be a famous general in the history books, and his learning ability is quite good.

Although Su Ze sometimes thought of rebelling, he couldn't bear to let the people along the coast be poisoned by Japanese pirates, and he knew everything about Yu Dayou's questions.

The only good thing is that during the communication with Yu Dayou, Su Ze's [Art of War] skill is about to break through Lv10.

Su Ze's mandarin duck formation was learned by Yu Dayou, and in less than half a year, he brought out an elite Zhejiang army to confront the Japanese pirates head-on in Pinghu, and they did not lose the wind.

But Fang Ruolan is not an ordinary woman, she knows that the great victory in Zhejiang is not only the credit of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang.

Without sufficient military pay and rewards, and without sufficient logistical supplies, such a great victory would not have been possible.

"If we can go on like this, we will be able to put down the Japanese Rebellion next year."

Su Ze had mixed feelings. He was naturally happy that the Japanese rebellion could be put down, but when the southeast was restored to peace, he would have less chance to fish in troubled waters.

Throughout the whole year, Su Ze was in this mood of worrying about gains and losses. Fang Ruolan said with a smile:

"This is also due to the merits of my husband and father. If you hadn't organized the banknotes, Governor Hu would not have the money to come out to fight the Japanese."

"I heard from my father that there was also a battle in Haimen, and Lin Zongqi fought bravely. My father is going to ask the Nanjing Military Department for credit."

Lin Zongqi is Lin Deyang, Su Ze is the official envoy of the regiment training, and Lin Deyang is the deputy envoy of the regiment training.

Last month, Japanese pirates appeared near Haimen County, Tongzhou Prefecture. Lin Deyang led a thousand soldiers from the Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Corps to go to sea to fight against Japanese pirates.

Fang Wanghai immediately asked for credit from the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and wanted the imperial court to set up a guard station in Shanghai, and let Lin Deyang be in charge of thousands of households.

Su Ze shook his head and said, "This matter is not up to the Nanjing Military Department. The Nanjing Military Department can only conduct nuclear surveys and report to the Beijing Division Military Department. Whether it can be approved or not depends on the court's will."

Fang Ruolan said with a smile: "I heard from my father that if the Ministry of War of the Beijing Division does not allow it, the Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Headquarters will be incorporated under the name of the Chaoguan Office, and the seeds of this elite army will be preserved."

On the contrary, Su Ze is willing to maintain the regiment training nature of the Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Corps. Now every time the soldiers are paid, Su Ze goes there in person. He also often visits and talks with the soldiers in the barracks, and firmly grasps this troop.

If it really becomes a guard, it will be brought under the control of the imperial court.

Su Ze doesn't know if he is obsessed with group training now, is it because of the insecurity of the traversers, but sometimes Su Ze also wonders, even if he is rebelling now, will people from the Shanghai Anti-smuggling Headquarters follow him?

Maybe only officers like Lin Deyang from Changning Guard will support him?

Just as Su Ze was still trying to calm down these messy thoughts, suddenly Fang Aizhu walked in.

"Uncle, there are people from Changning Guard waiting for you outside the mansion."

Fang Ruolan said: "Changningwei people are not invited into the mansion?"

Fang Aizhu patted her head and said: "Miss, I also want to invite that man into the mansion, but he refuses to come in no matter what, saying that he wants to meet my uncle outside the mansion."

Fang Ruolan frowned and said, "Meet your husband outside the mansion? Are you sure he's from Changningwei?"

There is a special line for the transmission of news between Changningwei and Nanjing Sufu. Now, Changningwei takes a boat to go north to Shanghai, and the soldiers from Changningwei in Shanghai Wharf are sent to Nanjing.

Fang Aizhu said: "It's an unfamiliar face, but the token can match."

"I'm going to meet him. Is there someone pretending to be Changningwei?"

Su Ze stood up, put the letter to Hu Zongxian into the envelope, stamped his own seal, handed it to Fang Aizhu and said:

"You send people to Governor Hu's residence in Zhejiang."

"Yes, uncle."

Su Ze pushed open the door of the study, only to see snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Is it snowing?" Fang Ruolan, who has been in the south, was a little surprised. It was less than a year since she moved to Nanjing, and this was the first time she saw snow.

Bearing the snowflakes, Su Ze walked to the gate of Su Mansion alone, and when he opened the gate, Su Ze saw a familiar figure in a cloak.

"Hundred households?" Su Ze covered his mouth and pulled Lin Mojun to the porter.

"How did you come?"

Lin Mojun has a hundred households in the guard house, so she cannot leave her own guard house without permission, and she still disguises herself as a man.

These days, Lin Mojun and Su Ze communicate frequently, but Lin Mojun has never been to Nanjing.

Lin Mojun raised her head to look at Su Ze and said, "Yu Shibo has been imprisoned by Jin Yiwei! As soon as I received the news, I came to find you by flying clipper!"
