Chapter 266: Gathering Jinmen
If in the second year of Jiajing, the most important thing in the first half was to punish the Japanese state, then the second half was the opening of the sea in Tianjin.
The so-called ancestral system is never the biggest problem, and besides, Lao Zhu is not necessarily not allowed to go to sea. What's more, there is Zhu Di!
Emperor Taizu's words are the ancestral system, and Emperor Taizong's is also the ancestral system, as for listening to Taizu or listening to Taizong, it depends on my mood.
The princes of the court and the central government are not fools, and those who oppose the opening of the sea also know that in the court, they cannot be stopped at all. Hope can only be placed on other fronts.
For example, Tianjin opened to the sea, but no one came to do business. There are no sellers, and there are no buyers of goods, tossing and tossing, the court not only can't make money, but also loses money, and it is estimated that it will be scrapped.
If you want to talk about how to sabotage, these people still have a lot of experience.
During the period of preparation, the big clan in Jiangnan went all out and operated in secret. They mobilized their own people to lobby the merchants, and then mobilized forces to encircle them at sea, in short, they couldn't let Tianjin become.
"It's not easy to get to this point!" Empress Dowager Jiang said to Zhu Houxi: "There are three days, that is, the day when Tianjin opens the sea, I have been in the palace for my mother for so long, my legs are stiff, and it is difficult to go out to take a look." I'm going to Tianjin, what do you say? ”
Zhu Houxi was embarrassed, "Queen Mother, I don't hide it, I want to take a look!" ”
Empress Dowager Jiang thought for a while, "You better don't say goodbye, where people do business, if you go to a place where you are a son of heaven, it will inevitably make a mess, and the big guys have no intention of getting rich." I, the old lady, have to go quietly and not alarm others. Wait for Wei Niang to finish reading it, and I'll tell you when I go back, it's the same! ”
Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes, can this be the same?
But as the Son of Heaven, he really can't run over easily, making me seem to care about money, no, I'm not such a person, really not!
Empress Dowager Chiang secretly left the palace and embarked on the road to Tianjin.
Not far away, Empress Dowager Jiang felt that something was wrong.
Why are there so many people?
The entire official road is crowded, some of them are new science and technology scholars, they are still in the stage of observing politics, there is plenty of time, and running to Tianjin to see the excitement is also a kind of government viewing.
In addition to them, there are also many Tai students, including some Confucians...... Frankly speaking, although Wang Yangming intends to entrust his psychology to Wang Yue, those mental science bosses may not agree, and they still want to see Wang Yue's true ability.
The outer city is one, and Tianjin is another.
If Wang Yue can really do it, and his set of knowledge will help enrich the country and strengthen the army, then there is no reason to refuse.
If someone goes to Wang Yue's face, then someone goes to Cui Shilin's face. For example, the nobles in Beijing, especially those of the younger generation.
Such as Xu Yande and Zhang Rong, they are all envious.
Since Cui Shilin came back, the big guy talks about it every day, and he can't do without this guy.
What kind of young and promising, courageous, and said that he has great ambitions and is extraordinary...... Xu Yande listened to the seven aunts and eight aunts praising Cui Shilin, and he was so angry that he wanted to fart.
They don't know what virtues this kid used to have.
It's not good luck, Fu Guogong, this title is really appropriate.
Compared with Cui Shilin, what is inferior is talent?
Obviously not, we are short of a master who is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, right?
If these people are just curious and want to join in the fun, then the next heavyweights will all appear.
First of all, Shanxi merchants brought in a large number of materials, including silk, cloth, tea, porcelain, ironware, etc., which were dazzling and worth hundreds of thousands of taels.
In addition to collective action, the Yang family also divided into several groups and sent nearly one million taels of supplies.
"Senior brother, it's interesting enough, Master didn't hurt you in vain!" Cui Shilin praised: "Third junior brother, what you need most now is to take a meritorious test, and it is best to be a top judge and a champion, otherwise I am afraid that you will be replaced by a junior brother." ”
Yang Bo was so angry that he wanted to hit someone!
Don't talk about being a prince, even if you are an emperor, you won't be able to speak human words!
I can't keep up with my fame, isn't it because I'm young?
Besides, the three tripod armor is so easy to test?
However, the appearance of Xu Jie, Yang Bo is also under a lot of pressure, the second senior brother has already entered the cabinet, they have no competition, senior brother ...... That's it, do you still need to waste energy?
Only Xu Jie, the age difference between them is not too big, and now that Xu Jie's step has taken a step earlier, he will definitely be able to catch up quickly, which is eye-catching.
Jin Shang made a move.
Along with it, there were the merchants of Huguang.
They can also be regarded as the countrymen of His Majesty the Emperor, and the Son of Heaven wants to open the sea in Tianjin, how can he not come to cheer, but the strength of the Huguang merchants is not good, and only 350,000 taels of goods are transferred.
There is no way, they are in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the location is too poor, the coastal road is completely blocked by the merchants in the southeast, and they can only rely on the people's nose, I hope the imperial court can give their strength and make Tianjin done, and since then, they have one more way to live.
Although the strength is good, the enthusiasm is amazing.
Wang Yue took stock of the goods sent by all parties, and frankly speaking, there was a big difference with his expectations, could it be really necessary to show his hidden strength?
It's just that the group of people under Wang Yue don't like to buy and sell very much, and if it really doesn't work, they can only catch ducks on the shelves.
Just as Wang Yue was thinking, there was suddenly a commotion outside.
Another brigade of goods arrived.
The movement of this group was too great, and their carriage spread all over the official road, and there was no end in sight...... Carriages alone are nothing, they even have a fleet.
These ships came from Liaodong and Shandong, loaded with all kinds of goods, and came to Tianjin.
"Lord Wang, I, Lao Guo, am not here to support you, I am just here for profit."
Guo Xun tried his best to show his arrogance, but his actions had completely betrayed him, and with his own strength, he was stunned to surpass all the others combined.
I can't say I don't support it.
Wang Yue smiled, "Marquis Wuding, for big customers, the official is personally responsible, please come in, drink some tea, and chat." ”
Guo Xun groaned, "I'm a rough person, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to you together...... Girl! He turned around and said, "Girl, come here!" Let's take a tiger girl, we don't care about this. Let's see if this kid can do business! ”
Wang Yue chose to ignore Guo Xun's arrogant attitude, and he really chatted with Miss Guo.
"There are so many things, I'm afraid they are beyond your Guo family's financial resources, right?"
Miss Guo smiled sheepishly, "Lord Wang, you went from the outer city to Tianjin, such a big stall, I'm afraid it also exceeds your financial resources, right?" ”
What a girl!
Wang Yue remained silent, "My strength is enough!" ”
"I know, so I'm willing to bet on my lord!" Miss Guo chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, you can't let us down those who support you!" ”
What else can Wang Yue say, "This official can only do his best." ”
Miss Guo's smile did not decrease, "My lord's ability to turn stones into gold is unparalleled in the world, if this business is successful, I want to buy a port in Tianjin, and I am going to build a shipyard to play." ”
"Shipyard? That's a big investment! ”
"Compared to an adult's investment in a city, a little woman's investment in a shipyard is not worth mentioning!"
Wang Yue shook his head again and again, "Listening to the girl's tone, are you going to compete with this official?" ”
Miss Guo raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, quite charming.
"As a woman, isn't it possible that you are inferior to a man in everything?"
"Good ambition!"
Wang Yue stretched out a thumbs up, "Just Chong girl's spirit, I wish you a lot of wealth in advance, if you need anything, just bring it up, Tianjin Port will do its best to help." ”
As more and more people arrived, Tianjin has become a lively ocean, and judging from the participating businessmen, Tianjin's opening of the sea has been half successful.
As for the remaining half, it is to attract enough buyers to digest the goods.
If so many people came, but they couldn't be sold, Wang Yue's old face would be thrown away.
The anxiety did not last long, and soon three Japanese ships arrived, and these three ships were loaded with silver, and they were so anxious that they forgot to prepare extra cargo ships, and they could not exchange a shipload of silver for a shipload of silk!
Looking at the owners of these ships again, everyone was surprised that the person who came turned out to be the Hosokawa clan of the Wa Kingdom!
Wang Yue's plan worked, and in an instant, the spiritual heads of the merchants came, and this time the opening of the sea would not fail......
