Wang's house, the living room.

Huang Ke sighed and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, Your Majesty has always been ridiculous, why should you follow it?" ”

"Lord Taishan is here to persuade me?" Wang Yuan asked.

Huang Ke said: "The sea ban is the ancestral system, and the opening of the sea is not only against the world's condemnation. You have the merit of quelling chaos and destroying the country, and you are a champion, and you have been in peace and stability for a few years, even if you have a book. Once you wade into the muddy waters of the open sea, it will cause people to criticize, and the future will be even more tortuous. ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Prince Liang, please come and persuade me?" ”

Huang Ke said: "Even if there is no Liang Ge Lao, I also want to persuade him." ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "If I insist on going to Zhejiang, do they want to play any off-the-plate tricks?" ”

Huang Ke actually understood the word "off-board move" as soon as he heard it, and warned: "The forbidden water is too deep, once you are involved, it will be extremely dangerous." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Those local gentry, are they more terrible than the Turpan barbarians?" ”

Huang Ke said: "You can indulge in fighting in the Western Regions, but when you get to Zhejiang, can you still kill those gentry?" ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Kill a batch, scare a batch, pull a batch, that's all." ”

"You really don't want to turn back?" Huang Ke asked.

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Lord Taishan wants to break with me because of this?" ”

Huang Ke sighed and said, "That's not true. Alas, you are bent on wading into troubled waters, and I can't help much, so I can only say that you can do it yourself. ”

"I'm going to be careful." Wang Yuan said.

Huang Ke suddenly asked: "Virtuous son-in-law, there is no good port in Hangzhou, why did you choose to open the sea there?" ”

Wang Yuan didn't answer, only smiled: "All the princes of the court are waiting to see the joke, right?" ”

It was impossible to build a harbor in Hangzhou, because the sediment was so shallow that only flat-bottomed boats could be allowed to pass through. If the draft is too deep, the sea ship will have to run aground if it comes in, and the officials on the Jiangnan side know it very well.

However, no one gave a word to warn him.

These guys are bad, since they can't stop the emperor from opening the sea, then let the emperor open it, it's strange that the broken place in Hangzhou can engage in sea trade!

Wang Yuan is not an immortal, of course he can't build a seaport in Hangzhou, his eyes are fixed on Jiaxing.

But that big beach in Jiaxing is all fucking salt farms. If you choose to open the sea directly, you will encounter greater resistance, and you will say that Jiaxing will open the sea and destroy the salt class.

The doubts of the courtiers are not only the opening of the sea in Hangzhou, but also the problem of Beiguan in Zhejiang.

The emperor replaced the Zhejiang Nanguan Gongcao, but did not return the Zhejiang Beiguan Cao. Beiguan is much more prosperous than Nanguan, "Beiguan Night Market" is one of the eight views of Qiantang, the lights are brilliant all night, why doesn't the emperor control Beiguan in his hands?

After thinking about it, the courtiers only thought that the emperor and Wang Yuan couldn't figure out the situation, and they didn't even understand the specific situation in Hangzhou, and they were waiting there one by one to see the joke.

After all, Huang Ke is Wang Yuan's father-in-law, and he couldn't persuade him, so he kindly reminded him, lest Wang Yuan be planted in Hangzhou.

Wang Yuan said: "Lord Taishan, you don't have to ask about this matter anymore, the son-in-law has already made a comprehensive plan." ”

"Then I won't ask." Huang Ke went to say a few more words to his daughter, and then left Wang's house by car.

Huang E sent his father out of the gate, turned his head and asked, "Second brother, most of the courtiers are against opening the sea, why do you have to go to Zhejiang?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "What do you think? ”

Huang E shook his head and said: "There is always a reason for Taizu to ban the sea, and there is also a reason for the courtiers to oppose the opening of the sea, I am just a little curious." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Taizu forbade the sea, because Mengyuan was not destroyed, and Zhang Shicheng's remnants colluded with the Japanese to attack and harass the coast. The courtiers forbade the sea, because they quietly went to sea, afraid that they would cut off their financial routes after opening the sea. In the Taizong Dynasty, the sea ban was the strictest, but the profits of sea trade were controlled in the hands of the imperial court. Now he only knows the sea ban, and he doesn't learn Taizong to go to the West, which can be described as self-tied. ”

"I see." Huang E immediately understood.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very interesting, he planted more than 500,000 trees in Nanjing, most of which are paulownia, palm and lacquer. The original intention was to collect tung oil, palm hemp, and lacquer on the spot and use them to supply the palace, so that there was no need to collect them from the common people.

As a result, these three kinds of trees were all important raw materials for shipbuilding, which directly provided convenience for Zheng He's voyage to the West.

Zhu Yuanzhang's maritime ban at that time was not strictly enforced because China's coastline was too long. Zhu Di is still smart and only allows the people to build flathead boats, which can not only ensure the livelihood of fishermen, but also prevent the people from engaging in ocean trade.

Therefore, when Wang Yuan arrived in Zhejiang, it was very simple to ban smuggling.

As long as you encounter an unofficial pointed boat, you can just exterminate it, and you don't need to verify your identity at all.

It is a pity that Wang Yuan did not have a navy in his hands, and due to the long period of "Chengping", the imperial court had long stopped producing large and medium-sized sea ships, and the sailors of Zhejiang and Fujian had false names.

Wang Yuan went to Zhejiang this time, which was worse than in the Western Regions, although he brought a thousand Shenji battalions, but he couldn't let the fire soldiers row a small boat to escort him. If there is no escort fleet, the sea trade caravan organized by Wang Yuan will inevitably encounter "Japanese robbers" as soon as they go to sea, and those crazy guys will definitely stare at Wang Yuan!

Anyway, as long as Wang Yuan's caravan can't make a deal, the imperial court will naturally have no profits, and there will be nothing to talk about opening the sea.

The problem is that the household department does not cooperate, and Wang Yuan has no silver in his hand, where can he get the capital to build a large warship?

Wang Yangming is in Jiangxi, poor and white, and spies are everywhere. Wang Yuan is in Zhejiang, the same is true, and the situation is even worse.

Back to the back house.

Xiangxiang and Qiyun were reading and practicing calligraphy, and it was Xia Chan who taught them.

Xia Chan complained: "Oh, you guys are so stupid, you can't practice this '躔' character for two days." ”

Xia Chan really didn't deliberately make things difficult, she was teaching two women of different races to learn the "Three Character Classic", and she taught them in order, and she didn't know what scientific teaching methods were.

After complaining a few words, Xia Chan continued to teach carefully, dismantling and preaching in detail: "The word '躔' has the meaning of practice, so it is the 'foot' part. Let's look at the ...... on the right."

Wang Yuan listened to the amusement outside the house, and went in to pat Xia Chan's head: "Teach simple words first." ”

Xia Chan touched her head and said, "It's all taught like this." ”

Wang Yuan didn't bother to say again: "Take a break." ”

Xia Chan's personality is quite pleasing, she has a broken mouth in private, but she is strict with outsiders. Some people are not used to seeing Xiangxiang and the two, but they don't deliberately make things difficult, and they teach them to read seriously.

Huang E came in and said: "The second brother will leave Beijing tomorrow, and I will play and sing a song with my sister, which can be regarded as helping the second brother." ”

Wang Yuan dragged a reclining chair and lay down leisurely, so that he could enjoy it at home.

Huang E played the newly learned two-stringed piano of the Western Regions, Xiangxiang and Qiyun danced together, and Xia Chan ran to beat Wang Yuan's legs, this little day was really comfortable enough.

And on the road to the south, dozens of letters have already been sent, the content of which is nothing more than that the imperial court is about to open the sea.

By the time Wang Yuan takes office, those smuggling maritime merchants will already be ready!
