Chapter 82                                                                                                                             �

But people who engage in politics cannot be shameless. They really do it like a strict party and everyone is beating them. Then they can't do anything. But they can't be too shameful. People who are truly politically obsessed with cleanliness often cannot achieve great things.

Although Zhou Mengchen felt that in a small battle, he would go to Beijing to report victory and offer prisoners. It was a bit bad. However, the situation required that Zhou Mengchen could not think of any other way for a while. He did it.

Zhou Mengchen said: "It is feasible to change this matter temporarily?"

Xu Wei said: "No problem. We can say that the Battle of Japan is the last battle to quell the Japanese pirates. So we will find a few of the previous Japanese pirate prisoners. Then we will bring along the envoys of the Ashikaga family, so that it will be enough to offer prisoners. But if there are any Japanese pirates in the southeast in the future, it will be difficult to explain."

It’s like you report to your boss with great enthusiasm that a project has been completed, but the customer complains and has to rework. This is embarrassing.

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, now in Jiangnan, even if Wang Zhi is reborn, he will not be able to raise any waves."

Even now, there are not no thieves on the sea. Merchant ships going to sea have been robbed by pirates several times. But these are all low-probability events. On the one hand, Zhou Mengchen believes that Yu Dayou guards the ocean, Qi Jiguang guards the land, and there is no big news.

Secondly, Zhou Mengchen did not completely believe in force, he believed in interests.

The sea has opened up and a continuous road of wealth has been formed. Pirates in the sea also rely on this road of wealth to make a fortune. From top to bottom, all forces want to maintain this road of wealth. Without the support of powerful people on the land, these pirates cannot become a climate at all. Do they have channels to sell stolen goods, or have money to buy ships and cannons?

With this trend, pirates will exist for a long time in the future. After all, money is touching. However, it is impossible to make a comeback in the previous state of Japanese pirates.

This is the time, and the other is the time.

Xu Wei said: "In this way, I will prepare according to this."

After all, I had no idea before, and many things had to be raised temporarily. Not to mention anything else, I would have to change the documents submitted to the court. Fortunately, Zhou Mengchen discovered this as soon as he came back, otherwise, if the documents to report the victory were sent out a little longer, the situation would be difficult to deal with.

Zhou Mengchen took a deep breath and Xu Wei was busy. He had a lot of things to do.

Zhou Mengchen estimated that the spring breeze will come in February. The wind direction will change, and there is still nearly a month left. The best route to Beijing is to take advantage of the spring breeze and go north from Hailu to Tianjin.

And the remaining period of time is what he has to deal with.

Zhou Mengchen immediately summoned various troops to discuss.

Fortunately, the governor Zhou Mengchen, itself has a temporary nature. In essence, without the governor Zhou Mengchen, the provinces in Jiangnan can operate normally. The reason for the governor Zhou Mengchen is that in Jiangnan encountered a special situation, that is, the Japanese pirates. It is necessary to unite several provinces and integrate the coastline to fight against the Japanese pirates, but now the Japanese pirates are gone.

Zhou Mengchen, the governor, had no value in existence.

Zhou Mengchen also followed this trend. He was doing two things.

The first thing is to decentralize the power of many provinces, such as Fujian and Zhejiang. Zhou Mengchen released all the powers originally concentrated in Zhou Mengchen's hands, so that they could connect with the court.

The second thing is about opening the sea.

After finalizing various regulations on opening the sea, it was actually to bring all the mature experiences of Shanghai Port. Some people were called to start the second port opening, that is, Ningbo.

Xie Bin is especially responsible for this matter. If he can do it well, he will be the head of the customs in the future. As for the yamen that manages these customs, it is called the General Administration of Customs, or the Chief of the Inspection and the Chief of the Inspection and the Chief of the Customs Affairs Office. It is like the Chief of the Salt Censor. This is not sure.

If Xie Bin could do this, it would be a step ahead.

The other thing is the matter of the governor of Nanyang.

Zhou Mengchen himself didn't know what the result would be when he went to the capital. He thought it would be the three results of the upper, middle and lower. The first result was that he went there for thousands of miles and destroyed the Yan Party in one fell swoop, and then stayed in the capital and would not return to Jiangnan.

In this way, Zhou Mengchen must handle the beginning and end of various things in Jiangnan well. He cannot let Jiangnan's ongoing careers fall into chaos because of his sudden departure.

This is the best result.

Secondly, there was no such thing at all, it was a false alarm. Zhou Mengchen went to rescue him. Nothing was discovered. Because there was no one in the court, he could only show his face in front of the emperor.

This is also an acceptable result.

In the end, it was also the most unacceptable result of Zhou Mengchen, that is, the road has been completed. Jiajing has become addicted to drugs. This change is too great, and Zhou Mengchen cannot infer what will happen.

However, it is very likely that you don’t have to go back to Jiangnan anymore.

But this kind of situation is completely opposite to the first kind of situation that does not have to go back to Jiangnan.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen realized why it is best to prepare for big things.

Because, anyone who wants to do big things thinks that big things are bigger than their own lives. This life is not only a human life, but also a political life.

It is like what Zhou Mengchen thought in his heart that changed the great cause of the Ming Dynasty. It can turn science into the blood of the Ming Dynasty and integrate science into traditional Chinese knowledge. It will allow China to not fall behind in the face of major changes that have not been seen three years ago.

Zhou Mengchen could give a lot to accomplish these things, but now he discovered that once he had something, his career would have no heirs.

This made Zhou Mengchen a little worried.

At this moment, Zhou Mengchen felt Xu Jie's cleverness. Xu Jie had put a group of people in his sleeves as his political heirs. This group of people was not just Zhang Juzheng. It was just that Zhang Juzheng performed the best, and Li Chunfang and others were with Zhang Juzheng.

The only difference is that Xu Jie did this just to protect himself, while Zhou Mengchen was for his own political philosophy.

Facing such a sinister court situation, no one can guarantee that he will definitely laugh to the end.

It's just a politically mature successor, so it's not so easy to find. Xu Jie has trained Zhang Juzheng for more than ten years. Now Zhang Juzheng is not able to take over Xu Jie's slap.

Zhou Mengchen only remembered this incident at this moment. He could not find a candidate who could be a substitute for a while.

However, Zhou Mengchen also took this matter to heart.

After all, any struggle is essentially a competition for talents, and politically.

When Zhou Mengchen was busy here, the news that Zhou Mengchen wanted to enter the capital to offer prisoners was also spread to the capital.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen could not have gone to Beijing without saying hello to the court. That was not called entering Beijing, that was called rebellion.

But Zhou Mengchen's name was so good. Yan Song had to report to Jiajing and approved it after approval.

The reason is very simple. Jiajing is very good at face. Since Zhou Mengchen opened the sea, countries of all sizes of Southeast Asia have suddenly come to pay tribute, and the capital has become very lively for a while. Jiajing rarely came out to see the envoys several times, and even sprinkled a lot of gold and silver, giving these small countries a lot of gifts with a generous way of going and coming.

Of course, fortunately, Zhou Mengchen had already eaten most of the goods from various envoys. He even told them the new regulations of the court. That is, the tributes of various countries should be exhibited in Shanghai Port, so that everyone in the world can see how precious the tributes of various countries are.

All countries are also very proud of their face. In this way, ordinary commodities cannot be presented. You can’t see that the tributes of your country are just some spices and cinnamon.

Under the guidance of Zhou Mengchen, the tributes of various countries were mainly small and exquisite works of art. Although they were said to be worth a thousand gold, the prices of these luxury goods were a bit empty.

After they were sent to the capital, Jiajing naturally gave it back and forth with the fine works of the palace. More of them were top-notch art made in the palace. The price was also vague.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen's actions prevented the court from losing too much money, and he accidentally lost some of the top antiques from the Ming Dynasty. After all, in Jiajing's eyes, the treasures were more antiques. There was no way to do this.
