My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 287 Abandoning Admonishment Complex and Respecting the Ming Dynasty's Fate (End of Volu

In the 40th year of Jiajing, in April, Su Ze finally led the militia and blocked all the defeated dams in Hangzhou.

Su Ze's [Water Conservancy] skill has also risen to Lv10.

When three purple rays of light flashed in front of Su Ze, Su Ze was not happy at all.

The three purple passive skills are:

[Purple Passive—Dayu's Flood Control: When controlling floods in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, water conservancy skills +4, and when leading governance projects, charm +2.]

[Purple Passive—Sui Yang opened the river: manage water transportation and manually excavate canals. When carrying out canal projects, water conservancy skills +4, and when leading water transportation projects, charm +2.]

[Purple Passive——Hydraulic Workshop: When constructing hydraulic power facilities, water conservancy skills +3, corresponding engineering skills +3]

Su Ze hesitated for a moment. He already has a [Water Conservancy] Lv5 skill. This skill is [Blue Passive - Bind to the Dragon as a Machine: Build a water-powered mechanical device, and the water conservancy skill +2. 】

Su Ze thought about it, and chose the third purple passive, [Water Power Workshop] without hesitation.

In other words, when Su Ze builds hydraulic facilities on the river, his [Water Conservancy] skill can be Lv10+2+3, and the corresponding engineering skill of the workshop he built can also be +3.

This means that if Su Ze builds a wooden hydraulic workshop, his [Carpentry] skill can also be +3, and if he builds a hydraulic workshop with metal mechanical transmission, then his [Mechanical] skill can also be +3.

The reason for choosing the third skill is also very simple. For a person like Su Ze, it is definitely not Su Ze's turn to preside over projects such as harnessing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, as well as dredging water transport.

Anyway, his current [Water Conservancy] skill is only Lv10, so he can choose skills related to water control when he reaches Lv15 in the future.

[Remaining a little free attribute, do you want to allocate it? 】

Su Ze put this attribute above charm.

Su Ze, male, 26 years old.

Intelligence: 13

Strength: 11

Dexterity: 7

Charm: 14

After adding points, Su Ze looked at the muddy field and felt heavy in his heart.

He organized a militia group to provide disaster relief in Hangzhou for a month. From the magistrate's office to the county's office in Hangzhou, except for Chun'an County where Hai Rui was located to help with the disaster relief, the other government offices were all on the sidelines.

Su Ze asked people to borrow grain from the big households, but the big households in Hangzhou refused to close their doors. These greedy landlords were hoarding grain, waiting to occupy the people's land when the people couldn't survive.

And even Qingliu, who was talking about the common people, fought fiercely for the personnel power in Zhejiang after Ma Ningyuan was sent to the capital.

In the disaster-stricken areas of Hangzhou, merchants with various accents also appeared.

This includes Hu Zongxian's Huizhou Prefecture Township Party, Xu's Songjiang Prefecture Township Party, and Concubine Li's family in the capital. They, like the local big families, took aim at these disaster-stricken lands, showing a look of sharpening their knives.

The plot of "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" is still a bit magical. One must know that the disaster-stricken land in Hangzhou Mansion is not the turn of a businessman like "Shen Yishi" to buy it. The officials of the imperial court have long been eyeing these lands, and it is not even a mere turn. Merchants come to buy land.

For such a Ming Dynasty, Su Ze no longer has any good feelings.

Su Ze also reflected on it. Whether it was the tax law or helping Hai Rui to fight the disaster, it was still useless to a decaying machine like the Ming Dynasty.

If you want the people to live a good life, you can only truly overthrow the decadent machine of the Ming Dynasty.

Give up the complex of persuasion and respect the fate of Ming Dynasty.

Continue to accumulate strength and wait and see the changes.

After understanding this point, Su Ze no longer hesitated.

In June of the 40th year of Jiajing, after dealing with some affairs in Zhejiang, Su Ze returned to Nanjing directly.

Just after returning to Nanjing, Su Ze got some bad news from Fang Wanghai.

The competition between Yan Dang and Qingliu in Zhejiang became more intense. After this fierce competition for personnel appointments, Yan Dang, who controlled the bureaucracy, still won a small victory.

Zheng Michang, a think-tank of the strict party, served as the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, in charge of Zhejiang civil affairs, and continued to unswervingly implement the policy of changing rice to mulberry.

Qingliu was not without success. Under Yu Wang's recommendation, Tan Lun, who had fought against the Japanese with Qi Jiguang in Fujian, became the governor of Zhejiang as the minister with the most senior experience in Zhejiang and the best at fighting.

There is no distinction between the position of governor and the chief envoy, but the power is no less than that of the chief envoy. He is the supervisor of a province and has the power to impeach and remove officials.

The situation in Zhejiang has become that Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province with a strict party, is in charge of fighting against the Japanese.

Zheng Michang, the chief envoy of the strict party Zhejiang, is in charge of civil affairs and promotes the transformation of rice into mulberry.

Tan Lun, the Qingliu governor of Zhejiang, is in charge of supervision.

However, the key position of the prefect of Hangzhou, on the weird stage of history, unexpectedly had a dramatic scene.

After hearing about the flood in Hangzhou, Gao Hanwen, an official of the Imperial Academy, wrote to the imperial court, proposing the policy of "substituting reforms for relief, self-solution of the dilemma", asking big families to pay for the land of the affected people, so that the imperial court can provide disaster relief without paying.

Gao Hanwen also proposed that large households who want to buy land must plant mulberry trees, and then hire the people who sell the land as tenant farmers, so that two things can be accomplished: converting rice into mulberry and disaster relief.

Gao Hanwen's memorial quickly won the support of the strict party, and there were also many voices of support in Qingliu.

Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed to see this memorial. He praised Gao Hanwen as a talented person in the country, and ordered him to be the magistrate of Hangzhou, responsible for changing rice from rice to mulberry.

At this point in the matter, Su Ze has seen the future script, but at this time he has lost interest in the party struggle in Zhejiang.

Even a senior official like Hu Zongxian can't change the situation in Daming Zhejiang, so what can he, a juren, do?

Reforms, tinkering, and tinkering can no longer save the Ming Dynasty, and Su Ze has made up his mind to rebel.

But if you want to rebel, you must have your own base.

From Su Ze's point of view, his hometown of Fujian and Guangzhou is the most suitable for the current situation.

Since last year, the imperial court imposed anti-Japanese silver in Guangzhou, Fujian, and the apportionment by the government at various levels, the whole of Guangzhou, Fujian can be said to be uprising.

On the sixth day of August in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, more than 300 soldiers from Fujian revolted and set out from Shaxian and Jiangle counties to capture Taining County. The mutiny team then marched into Guangchang and Le'an, Jiangxi Province, and then went to Yongfeng.

In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, due to heavy exploitation by the government, taxation and servitude, Japanese pirates plundered the prefectures and counties, the people were in dire straits, and people from all over the country rose up to resist one after another. Among them, there are the cellar people in Dapu, the boat people in Nanwan, the mountain people in Youxi, the miners in Longyan, the refugees in Nanjing, Yongding and other places, and the uprising of Zhang Lian, the most powerful cellarman, and others. defeat.

For such a huge uprising, the Fujian government was overwhelmed. They even sent cattle to the uprising people and bribed the uprising refugees not to attack the government. Wang Daokun wrote in a letter saying that all parts of Fuzhou could only recruit soldiers to guard the city, and they were unable to go out of the city to wipe out the refugees.

This year, that is, the 40th year of Jiajing, the refugees in Fujian revolted. After Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang entered Fujian, they were finally calmed down by relying on the Qi family army. The refugees fled into the mountains and dared not attack cities everywhere. Make a ball.

Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang were also in a state of desperation. After the interior of Fujian was calmed down a little, the Japanese pirates came again.

After Wang Zhi's death, the Japanese pirates who were originally divided into the trading faction and the plundering faction quickly merged, and the group of Japanese pirates who advocated trade with Daming also began to plunder the Daming sea area.

Because of suffering in Zhejiang, the Japanese pirates began to focus on invading Fujian after seeing the chaos in Fujian.

This group of Japanese pirates was headed by Xu Hai, the leader of the original predatory faction, and Wang Zhi's subordinates, and the Japanese pirate gang formed was called "New Japanese".

New Japanese pirates plundering Zhejiang, Guangdong and other provinces fled into Fujian one after another, joined forces with former Japanese pirates in Fujian, and aggressively invaded all parts of Fujian.

Successively attacked and plundered Shaowu, Luoyuan, Lianjiang, Shouning, Zhenghe, Ningde, Fuqing, Changle, Longyan, Songxi, Datian, Gutian, and Putian, so that there was no peace in central Fujian.

From Lin Mojun's letter, Xinwa is now gathering strength to attack Fujian Xinghua Mansion.

Xinghua Mansion is one of the most prosperous areas in Fujian. Qi Jiguang is now swallowing troops to Xinghua and organizing soldiers and civilians to fight against the Japanese.

It's just that because of the party struggle between the strict party and Qingliu, Tan Lun, who supported Qi Jiguang the most, was transferred away, making Qi Jiguang's anti-corruption work in Xinghua Mansion difficult, and he suffered several consecutive defeats.

Su Ze found Fang Wanghai and proposed that he would return to Fujian to organize a militia to fight against the Japanese.

Regarding Su Ze's proposal, Fang Wanghai sighed and said:

"I know, Ru Lin, that you are a soldier. Fujian is your hometown. I also feel very sad to see Fujian like this. But if you go back to Fujian, it will be useless to fight against the great cause of Japan, right?"

Fang Wanghai said earnestly, "Ru Lin, next year will be Chunwei. With your talent and learning, you will be awarded a Jinshi. Naturally, you will have the opportunity to serve your country."

The forty-first year of Jiajing was the year of the imperial examination. Xu Shixing, Xu Guo, and Wang Xijue all resigned from their positions as trainees in the Suze Newspaper Club, and went home to prepare for the exam seriously. They planned to enter Beijing in the second half of this year and prepare for the spring next year.

Su Ze said, "Father-in-law, Fujian is in dire straits. I want to return to my hometown and contribute to the fight against the Japanese."

Fang Wanghai wanted to persuade him again, but what Su Ze said next made him shut up.

"Even if you are father-in-law, you have already become a Jinshi in high school, but you haven't changed much, right?"

Fang Wanghai sighed and shook his head.

This year's Minister of the Nanjing Household Department, Fang Wanghai was physically and mentally exhausted, and his gray hair grew a lot.

As the party struggle between the strict party and Qingliu became more intense, officials without factions like Fang Wanghai had no place to stand.

The results of the banknote tariff law were quickly robbed by the two parties.

The first is Zhejiang. Hu Zongxian wrote to the imperial court to request that the authority of the Chaoguan Offices in various places be assigned to the provinces on the grounds that the Nanjing Ministry of Household Management was too far away to manage the Zhejiang Chaoguan Office.

Under the operation of the strict party, the Zhejiang Chaoguan Office was stripped from the Nanjing Household Department and placed under the management of the Zhejiang Chief Envoy's Yamen.

After being stripped from the Zhejiang Chaoguan Office, Zheng Michang, the new Zhejiang chief envoy, immediately placed private individuals in the Chaoguan Office, forcing many well-run officials of the Chaoguan Office to resign.

These officials and anti-smuggling officials were all professionals trained by Fang Wanghai with great difficulty, and they were all forced to resign by Zheng Michang.

However, Zheng Michang did not expend much effort. These officials resigned very readily, and immediately left Zhejiang without a trace.

On the contrary, this fulfilled Zheng Michang's wish. His confidants took over the Chaoguan Hall, and the entire Chaoguan Hall in Zhejiang immediately became smoky.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhejiang government began to issue anti-Japanese coupons again. This time, the number of anti-Japanese coupons issued far exceeded the total amount of last year, and it was more than twice the amount of banknote tariffs collected last year.

Many big households have already refused to buy, but they were all forced to buy by the people sent by Zheng Michang. All the prefectures and counties have received the subscription amount. If these anti-Japanese coupons cannot be sold, this year's test scores will be judged. inferior.

Hai Rui denounced Zheng Michang's behavior in his letter to Fang Wanghai, but Fang Wanghai was helpless.

He implemented the bill tax law in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for two years, and poured countless efforts into it. In less than a few months, it was completely destroyed by the strict party, and even became a tool for these officials to exploit the place.

The Zhejiang banknote tariff law was almost destroyed, and the banknote tariff in Jiangnan was not very good.

Since Zhao Zhenji took office as the right servant of the Nanjing Household Department, he has continuously encroached on the rights of the Banknote Customs Department.

Zhao Zhenji's official reputation is good, he is a great Confucian with a heart and a disciple of Xu Jie, and he is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

He managed the water transportation again, and naturally extended his hand to the Chaoguan Hall.

Compared with Fang Wanghai, a technical bureaucrat who doesn't stand in line, even if he has ten more brains, he still can't beat Zhao Zhenji, a professional bureaucrat.

First of all, Qingliu from Kedao, Nanjing, said that the tax on banknotes in Nanzhili was too heavy, and asked the court to reduce taxes in the name of the Japanese invasion in recent years.

It was naturally impossible for Emperor Jiajing to spit out the fat in his mouth, and then there was a tax resistance in Songjiang Mansion.

Zhao Zhenji dealt with it quickly, negotiated with the merchants who resisted the tax, and finally proposed to reduce the tax rate on cotton and cotton cloth.

Before Fang Wanghai could react, the capital cabinet passed Zhao Zhenji's proposal to lower the tax rate on banknote tariffs of Jiangnan staple commodities such as cotton, cotton cloth, raw silk, and silk. After this incident, Fang Wanghai further lost control of the Jiangnan Banknote Office .

Many veteran officials of the Chaoguan Office protested their resignation, and Zhao Zhenji took the opportunity to replace all of them with his own disciples.

Su Ze's question made Fang Wanghai fall into contemplation. How could the Qianguan Hall that he had worked hard for two years become like this?

It is said that people die and the government rests, but I am not dead yet. How did the Chaoguan Hall become like this?

At this time, Fang Wanghai even thought of resigning from office. The officialdom in Nanjing was too difficult for Fang Wanghai to grasp.

But Fang Wanghai still said: "Ru Lin, as long as the two parties come to an agreement, things will get better."

Su Ze shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, if Yan Dang and Qingliu fight for a result, there will be a new party in the court. I don't want to be an official in the past few years. I just want to return to Zhejiang and do something for my hometown."

Fang Wanghai was finally persuaded by Su Ze, he said: "Lan'er and the child should stay in Nanjing first, and then take them back when the situation in Fujian is stable."

"Naturally, during this period of time, Lan'er and the child will be left to father-in-law."
