Mao Ji's hunch was very accurate, and Wang Yue told Zhu Houxi what he had gotten.

To blame Liu Daxia for the so-called destruction of the nautical charts is a great injustice. I want to ask if I have been to the West seven times, and the volume is huge, how much information is there?

The Ministry of War, the Inner Court, the Siyi Pavilion, the Zhan Mansion, the Guozijian, the Hanlin Academy...... Which yamen has no relevant records? With so many things, how can a soldier be able to annihilate them with one hand!

But to say that Liu Daxia is not guilty, it is even more ignorant of conscience.

What Liu Daxia represents is the huge bureaucratic system, and he has come forward to resist, and some people have supported him behind his back, and they have colluded with each other, holding hands, and completely monopolizing a piece of the pie of overseas trade.

"In the Yongle Dynasty, there was a salt tax, overseas trade, seven trips to the West, and five expeditions to Mongolia! Spending money is like running water, and I don't see the treasury empty! Now that the law has been abolished, and the Western Ocean has stopped, even the land endowment is in arrears every year, and the land annexation is so serious, looking at the world, millions of displaced people, the nine sides have leaked into a sieve, and the Tartars can come when they want to, and leave if they want to...... What have they done to my country? ”

Zhu Houxi was really angry, the young man's facial features were distorted, and on his temples, the green tendons were bulging, and he was about to kill at any time in the next second. The court staff can no longer meet Zhu Houxi's needs.

He regretted it a little, what did he do when he sent Mao Ji to Siyi Pavilion? Just cut it directly, aren't you safeguarding the interests of maritime merchants? I'll make you into hot pot slices and see if those maritime merchants will protect you!"

Zhu Houxi is now worshipping Grandpa more and more, what is happiness and enmity, Grandpa Tai, a real man!

"Xiao Fugui, what do you say I am killing now?"

Wang Yue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right in everything, and the minister supports it unconditionally!" ”

Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes, this damn little rich man is fooling people again.

"I haven't even completely settled Yang Tinghe at the moment, let me deal with those people in the southeast, who can do it for me? But to just let them go like that, it's too cheap! ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to Wang Yue: "You said that according to the ancestral system of Taizu, isn't it forbidden to open the sea?" That's great! I will conscientiously implement the ancestral teachings of Taizu! Ban all the southeast coasts, and don't allow the boards to go to the sea! I'm going to make a fake show and overturn the dog food bowl, and everyone can't eat it! ”

Wang Yue couldn't cry or laugh, he knew how the Jiajing Dynasty came to be.

Zhu Houxi once sent Zhu Kun to the south, decisively enforced the sea ban, and sealed all the coasts. Those maritime merchants were so suffocated that they could only design, kill Zhu Kun, and then smuggle them on a large scale, making a mess in the southeast.

Generally speaking, during the Jiajing period, Jiajing was a complete defeat, and the only thing worth being happy about was that a group of famous generals were played, which can be regarded as solving the border troubles in the future and accumulating generals.

But what does it matter! Anyway, our baby Zhu Houxi is a willful person, how can he be willing if he doesn't fight to the death!

"Your Majesty, that is to overturn the dog food bowl so that he can't eat. We can't eat in the same basin with the dogs! ”

Zhu Houxi glared at Wang Yue angrily, "Xiao Fugui, don't play tricks with me, you can say it!" What should I do? ”

"This ...... The minister has two ways, the first is to strictly prohibit the sea as His Majesty said, and at the same time the palace will pay for the formation of a fleet to restore the original practice of the Yongle Dynasty! If His Majesty agrees, the minister may go south. ”

Zhu Houxi thought for a while, and did not nod in a hurry, but asked, "What about the second way?" Hurry up and say it. ”

"The second way is to divide the merchants of the southeast, to separate the merchants who produce commodities, the merchants who are in charge of finance, from the super maritime merchants who control the fleet, and to find them a new outlet to the sea. His Majesty can avoid confrontation with these people for the time being. Wait until you have accumulated enough strength, and then completely destroy the maritime merchants in the southeast! ”

Zhu Houxi took a deep breath and laughed.

"You little rich man, you obviously have a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier! You want to beg for a fight, don't you? Hurry up, tell me what to do? ”

……

The implementation of a strict sea ban is really to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 120,000 yourself, which is completely a gamble with no way.

After all, for an emperor, the first thing he wants is overseas interests, and Zhu Houxi is unwilling to do thankless things.

Since Wang Yue has a good idea, how can Zhu Houxi be brutal!

"Xiao Fugui, your brain is really easy to use!" After Zhu Houxi listened, he smiled and was overjoyed, "I must reward you well." ”

Zhu Houxi patted his chest and assured that Wang Yue didn't believe much in his words, after all, this kid had said it many times, and he hadn't seen him give him any decent benefits, and even his official position was only Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, which was really low!

However, planning overseas things seems to be the eternal mission of the traverser, and in order to brush this must-brush copy, he happily found Yang Yiqing.

It's just that Old Man Yang is in a very bad state at this moment, he is lying on the bed, his face is sallow, listless, and he seems to be completely wasted.

"I said, Lord Tianguan, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Yiqing saw that it was Wang Yue, so he didn't bother to deal with him at all, the old man twisted his face to the side, and only gave Wang Yue a look at the back of his head.

It's written all over the body that it's unhappy, and it's not good to coax it.

"Master Yang, I didn't offend you! We're friends! ”

Hearing Wang Yue say this, Yang Yiqing finally blew up.

"Friends! Bullshit! In your eyes, I, Yang Yiqing, have always been a rag for wiping my feet, and I have lost it after using it! Tell me about you, don't you know what the old man thinks? Those few chairs in the cabinet, how can there be no place for me? You even put Jia Yong in, but you blocked the old man out, you, you want to be angry with me! ”

Old man Yang has already had demons in his heart for returning to the cabinet.

He originally thought that he would enter the cabinet by himself and be sure, after all, he was the only one to deal with Yang Tinghe.

But now seeing that one by one has entered the cabinet, Wang Yangming has taken the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites again, and in terms of military affairs, Wang Qiong's old ghost has also returned.

In Zhu Houxi's team, he is becoming more and more dispensable.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Yang Yiqing was very angry, Wang Yue, this rabbit cub, is really not a good thing!

Wang Yue sighed lightly, what else could he say!

"Ministry, I'm sorry for you, you can't enter the cabinet, you can't be the first assistant, and there is no hope in this life. Your old man is in despair, this money-making thing, let others come, don't get involved with your old age. My dad is back anyway...... Alas, don't you say I'm a slut! Obviously, my father is by my side, and I still bother you with what you are doing, and I said goodbye to my late life. ”

Wang Yue was about to leave after speaking, but Yang Yiqing jumped off the bed with agility beyond his age and grabbed Wang Yue's arm.

"My son, your mind, how can the old man not know, the two of us are closer than father and son!" Yang Yiqing's old face is more brilliant than a chrysanthemum.

In the face of the sudden father-son relationship, Wang Yue almost wanted to give Yang Yiqing a slap, don't think that I won't pump you when you are old! Wang Yue stared at the mille-feuille bottom on his feet.

"Aren't you sick to death? Why are you still lying in your shoes? Who are you pretending to be sick for? ”

Yang Yiqing didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, don't talk about it, if there is anything good, you can talk about it quickly." ”

Wang Yue really admired this person's cheekiness, "To put it simply, I mean to find a port in the north to open the sea!" ”

"Open the sea?" Yang Yiqing was shocked, looked around in fright, and then lowered his voice and said, "Stinky boy, do you know what these two words mean?" The old man advises you, dispel this thought as soon as possible, you can't afford to mess with those people. ”

Looking at Yang Yiqing's scared appearance, Wang Yue suddenly became curious.

"Ministry, you Jin merchants have swallowed the salt of Lianghuai, why don't you start with sea trade? Did you lose? And also lost badly? ”

Yang Yiqing glared at Wang Yue viciously, "Things you shouldn't know, don't ask!" When asked, my heart is also sick! ”

"Hahaha!"

Wang Yue laughed loudly, which can make the invincible Jin merchants deflated, and these people in the southeast have something.

"Ministry, don't worry, let me tell you my plan, first of all, choose one or two ports with good conditions in the north, set up a city shipping department, and then, as long as the tax is paid in the city shipping department, the goods can be exported overseas. The tax rate is not high, tentatively set at one out of twenty. The imperial court was only responsible for management and was not directly involved in trade. I just want to ask, will you be interested? ”

Yang Yiqing furrowed his brows and said curiously: "No?" ”

"What more do you want?"

"That...... You're not ready to take delivery? Like tea, silk or something? ”

Wang Yue laughed, "Collecting taxes is a business with no cost and no profits, why should I bother with it!" Besides, can the palace get the money to buy commercial goods now? ”

"Oh!"

Yang Yiqing gradually showed a different expression.

In fact, the Jin merchants are not completely unrelated to the sea, such as lending money to the sea, and the money bank in Shanxi is doing it. However, the fleet at the core of overseas trade was in the hands of the maritime merchants.

Due to the government's ostensible sea ban, the normal trade routes are not feasible, and whoever has a fleet and a big fist will have to listen to whomever he wants.

Therefore, whether it is a silk merchant or a porcelain merchant, he must give gifts to the merchant who controls the fleet, and spend money to sell the road in a word!

And this road money is not cheap, it is as much as six times the tax rate proposed by Wang Yue!

Of course, the Jin merchants tried to form a fleet and leave the maritime merchants to do it themselves, but sorry, their fleet went to sea and never returned. A few days later, a bloodstained outfit was brought......

Needless to say, the invincible Jin Shang fell firmly.

Landlubbers are destined to be landlubbers, things in the sea, don't think about getting involved.

At that moment, the old faces of all the Jin merchants were severely whipped one hundred and eighty times, and they were all swollen like pigs' heads.

It can't be helped, but you can't play.

At one time, the Jin merchants had completely given up the idea of getting involved in the ocean, but Wang Yue proposed a new plan, which happened to touch the place that the Jin merchants cared about the most.

"Wang Yue, this matter is too big, the old man can't call the shots. But don't worry, there will be a lot of people coming to your door soon. Yang Yiqing paused and muttered: "It's also a coincidence that the old man can walk with Jin Shang. From then on, the old man entrusted these people to you. ”

Yang Yiqing stretched out his hand and pressed Wang Yue's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Child, don't rely on the Holy Family of the Son of Heaven, just be a lonely minister!" What people give you is not as stable as what you hold onto! ”
