One sentence was like thunder in nine days, which shocked Liu Jian and Baiguan at a loss.

How not to open the sea ban?

Baiguan looked thoughtful, and quickly thought about what this son wanted to do.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes condensed and fell on Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qing's family talk about it!" ”

"Emperor Wen ordered the eunuchs of Sanbao to go to the West, buy back a large number of spices and ivory, and sell silk goods, but Emperor Wen did not open the sea ban, and His Majesty can follow suit." Yan Chengjin bowed.

Zhu Di's trick of covering his ears and stealing the bell is really clever.

Only the government is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps, and those who violate it are forbidden.

Baiguan suddenly became anxious, you might as well open the sea ban, and everyone can make money together!

Emperor Hongzhi showed a smile on his face, and he solved his concerns: "In principle, let's do it!" ”

Yang Tinghe was dumbfounded.

Baiguan looked stunned, and reacted suddenly: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between this move and the abolition of the sea ban, since Your Majesty has made up your mind, it is better to abolish the sea ban!" ”

"Please beg, abolish the sea ban!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The hundred officials were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, and they all admonished, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would issue an edict and the big ships of the imperial court would monopolize overseas trade.

Yang Tinghe's face was pale, this son is really poisonous!

With the precedent of Emperor Wen not opening the sea ban and sending ships to the sea to trade, he can directly follow suit.

forced the ministers to open the sea ban themselves, this son, this son is really the most vicious person in the world!

The scene gradually got out of control, many ministers knelt on the ground with their cards, Li Dongyang's face was stiff, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Xiao Jing's heart tightened, and he said secretly: "Even the sea ban has opened Yan Chengjin, and when I see him in the future, I have to bypass it." ”

The civil officials can't fight together, what can he do?

Wang Shouren has benefited a lot, and today, the only person who can make him inscrutable is the old brother.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Then spread my will and open the sea ban!" ”

A strong and loud voice lingered around the beam for a long time, shaking the eardrums of hundreds of officials.

The Longqing switch has become the Hongji switch.

Yan Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the ban on opening the sea can go to sea for all people, the important thing is to see who has more boats and whose ships are bigger.

Small boats can only carry 5,000 horses of silk to sea, and large ships can carry 100,000 horses of silk to sea.

And the cargo that can be carried on the return voyage is also different.

The silver has been earned by the good township and the imperial court, and this wave is not a loss.

Baiguan was like in a dream, with high morale and Yan Chengjin, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending.

At this moment, Yan Chengjin took out the fourth layer: "Ministers beg, build a dam at the entrance of the Yellow River to divert the water of the Yellow River into the Grand Canal." ”

The water source of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal mainly comes from Weishan Lake in Shandong.

After the Cao Canal channel is widened, the water level of the canal will definitely drop.

The water of the Yellow River is poured into the Grand Canal, which can make the draft of the big boats deeper, and the river water is turbulent, which is conducive to boating.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "How to get forced labor from outside the court?" In my opinion, if you don't send troops, the king of the vassal country may not allow it. ”

For a court, the most important thing is the people.

200,000 people in Daming may only be the number of a county, but for a vassal state, it is not a small number.

Li Dongyang said: "If Your Majesty has made up his mind, the minister thinks that he can send someone to envoy the vassal country." ”

Yan Chengjin nodded: "What Li Gong said is very true, North Korea and Ryukyu owe me a favor to the DPRK.

If you promise that within five years, you will return the person, it must not be difficult, you only need to go to a holy decree.

Only Annan needs to be sent. ”

The imperial court was a combination of grace and power to Korea and the Ryukyus, and they were afraid of the Ming army's troops and were favored by the Ming Dynasty.

Buying 200,000 people for peace is painful, but it is barely acceptable.

But Annan has not experienced the power of the Ming army, and has always been warlike, and he will not be easy to accept the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced around the main hall: "Who wants to go to Annan?" ”

Fools go there!

The barren mountains and mountains of Annan are separated by thousands of miles from the Ming Dynasty, and they have to pass through Shugui along the way, such as the land of the Southern Barbarians.

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, for fear of being chosen by Emperor Hongzhi.

Outside the main hall, Zhu Houzhao was a little anxious, and Lao Gao promised to save Master Fei from the palace, but he didn't say a word.

He wanted to walk into the main hall, but the little eunuch hugged his thigh: "Your Highness, it's a critical time, you can't go in!" ”

"Will my father send this palace to him?"

It's good to go to Annan, he can still take a detour to Jiangnan to have fun.

I heard the scholar of Liangxiang Library Pavilion say that the most interesting place in the world is Jiangnan, and he has never been to Jiangnan.

The gate supervisor of Fengtian Hall was frightened to death, and ran over to grab Zhu Houzhao together.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes swept over the main hall, knowing that no one wanted to go, so he appointed a person: "The king of the Ministry of Rites, send an envoy to Annan." ”

Wang Xian's heart trembled slightly, and he bowed down to receive the order.

Han Wen was a little distressed and worried: "Just food and clothing is a huge expense, and I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to afford it." ”

800,000 people, how much ration do they have to eat every day? And I don't know if there is any silver overseas.

It's all a big cake painted by Yan Chengjin, but the Mangara country can bring back the silver, but the island country still doesn't know the truth.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, can you summon someone into the palace?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know why, but he still nodded, Yan Chengjin whispered a few words to Fang Xue, and Fang Xue walked out of the hall quickly.

After a short time, he brought back a feudal merchant from outside the main hall.

The merchant wore a coat, wore gold ornaments around his neck, his beard curled up like a crescent moon, and his skin was much whiter than theirs.

He was so frightened that his face was flustered, and he used stiff Chinese: "I have seen the respected Emperor Ming!" ”

These merchants are in Liangxiang, but they are somewhat common.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know why, the hundred officials were a little angry, how could the vulgar people be brought to the court?

"Lord Yan, what do you want to do?!"

Yan Chengjin was not in a hurry: "I heard from Fanshang that there is a Huangzhou in the west, called Africa, where there are infinite people who can lift three stones, and there are many people who can lift three stones, and one person can do the work of ten people."

They are dark-skinned, work long hours in many Western countries, eat only one meal, and do not need silver. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, don't you want silver?

The body of the hundred officials and tigers was shocked, there is still a place called Africa in the world, is it me who is lonely and unheard?

Fanshang knelt on the ground and trembled: "Respected Emperor Ming, it's true, the villain once hired them to pull carriages, serve as guards, build city walls and fortresses, they can do anything." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved, one person can do the work of ten people, he doesn't need silver, and he has infinite power!

The ministers have doubts, but looking at the appearance of this business, it does not look like nonsense.

"Where's Afried-Africa?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Fanshang thought for a while: "Emperor Ming should know that Mangara, Afrieduria has to go a little west." ”

It's not too far if it's just a little west.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could hire them to dig the Grand Canal and send them back when they were done?

At this moment, Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "The minister recommended Yang Tinghe, went to Afrikan, spread the kindness of the imperial court, and looked for Afrikaners." ”

The corners of Yang Tinghe's mouth twitched a few times, and his face turned completely white.
