Mao Ji seems to have accepted his fate, he is extremely decadent, his eyes are blank, he sits on a stretcher, and he still needs the support of his arms, otherwise he will fall down and be as weak as a baby. The pride of being in charge of the cabinet and dominating the world is long gone. All I can think of is to be quiet and quiet.

"Old Mao Ge, Zheng He's chart, is the supreme treasure that the Ming Dynasty spent countless money, went to the West several times, and exchanged human lives. If you know your whereabouts, but don't make offerings, just because of this article, you can destroy your nine clans, and dare to tell me the conditions! You're really not afraid of death! ”

Mao Ji was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he stared at Wang Yue in disbelief, as if to say, what is important about that thing, and it is worth fighting?

"Mao Ji, with a rat-eyed person like you, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense. Tell us what you know, or I'll kill him!" ”

Wang Yue's anger was thirty thousand.

He's really angry!

In fact, it took a long time to establish a global trading system, starting from the West looking for new shipping routes, to sailing around the world. And Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times, and he figured out the South Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and a large area, and even reached the east coast of Africa, and also discovered Tuao...... The efficiency is not low at all, and Zheng He also preached the power of heaven to all countries, established a tributary trade system, if it persists for a period of time, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, it is entirely possible for the Ming Dynasty to take the lead in completing global exploration and establishing the world order dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

But because of a group of rats who are respected as "famous ministers and virtuous ministers", they have ruined the great cause of expanding the ocean, and their disciples and grandchildren have carried it forward, and even the nautical charts have been ruined, how not to make people angry!

When Dad arrested those rustic Xiyi, Wang Yue really wanted to smack the face of the Ming officials, look, who defeated you?

Shame or shame! Shame on you!

Wang Yue was furious, and he was not polite to Mao Ji at all.

"Elder Mao Ge, Your Majesty can dismiss your officials, but I can destroy your full door, until now, if you still dare to hide it, say one less word, I will let you lose a relative! Wang Yue does what he says! ”

"You!"

Mao Ji was so angry that he still had the title of university scholar and was expelled from the cabinet, but he did not dismiss the official, Wang Yue, a little cub, dared to talk to himself like this, that's good! The old man is not welcome.

"Lord Wang, of course the old man won't lie, but it depends on whether you have the courage to listen!"

"Hahahaha!" Wang Yue laughed loudly, "You just let the horse come, I want to see how powerful those big families in the southeast are!" ”

Mao Ji was shocked, this Wang Yue is really powerful, could it be that he already knows something?

Thinking of this, his momentum inevitably weakened by three points.

"Master Mao, in fact, Liu Zhongxuangong did not burn the charts back then, that is a misinformation."

Mao Ji told the story that Emperor Chenghua once asked the Ministry of War to ask for Zheng He's nautical chart information on the Western Ocean.

When it comes to Zhu Jianshen, many people's first impression is the wonderful love with Wan Guifei, and they even think that this emperor is not very good. But in all fairness, among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, his ability can be regarded as middle and upper. And he also knew that going to the West was profitable, but he also needed money to deal with the crisis on the frontier.

At this time, Liu Daxia, who was still in the military department, stood up, he was righteous and strict, and said that the West spent countless money, and there were tens of thousands of dead and wounded, but it was just for the Son of Heaven to find rare treasures, what is the benefit?

The old archives are gone, and even if they do, they must be destroyed, how can they continue to go to the West!

A five-grade petty official was so frightened that the secretary of the Ministry of War was speechless, and the emperor didn't dare to ask, so the matter was over.

Since then, there have been rumors that Liu Daxia destroyed Zheng He's nautical chart logs......

"This matter is really wronged by Liu Gong, in fact, when it comes to his hands, Zheng He's chart is not much left. How can he get it? can only resist hard, of course, the princes of the DPRK and China can only protect him, and dare not open it. ”

"What?" Wang Yue was shocked, "Gone?" You're not going to excuse Liu Daxia, are you? ”

Mao Ji shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't have a deep relationship with him, so why take the risk!" What's more, if Liu Daxia secretly hid the charts, why didn't their family go to the sea to do business and make a fortune? ”

Wang Yue was stunned again, because he seemed to have heard that Liu Daxia's family was a maritime businessman, but after crossing over, Wang Yue knew that Liu Daxia was a native of Huguang and a fellow villager with Zhu Houxi, and it seemed that their Liu family had nothing to do with maritime business.

What's going on here?

"Lord Wang, during the orthodox years, he stopped going to the Western Ocean, and in the following decades, Zheng He's nautical chart logs continued to be lost, as well as the drawings for the construction of the Fu Ship, were also lost. Some were not well kept and were bitten by insects and rats, and many more were taken away by officials. ”

Mao Ji smiled, "The Western Ocean has stopped, but in the past few decades, more and more tea has been planted in the southeast, and mulberry trees have occupied acres of land, the land of fish and rice, and they have to buy grain...... The silk tea produced will not all be transported to the capital, right? ”

Speaking of which, the truth about stopping going to the West is about to come out.

Zheng He went to the West seven times and found out the sea route, which is equivalent to a pot of porridge cooked, and the big guy can eat it with a bowl. At this time, the imperial court continued to dominate the West, that is, to compete with the "people" for profit.

Therefore, the courtiers joined forces, fooled the emperor, and divided overseas interests together, along with the valuable information that Zheng He and others exchanged for their lives, they were also swallowed by them.

Wang Yue remembered that he had read some information that showed that although the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban, the strange thing was that even if the Western maritime forces invaded on a large scale, in the waters of East Asia, it was still the Eastern sea ships that had the final say.

There have even been several powerful One Piece kings one after another.

Among them are the fierce men who defeated the coachmen of the sea.

It shows that at least at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in one-third of an acre of land at home, the sea power of the east was still quite strong.

However, it must also be admitted that at that time, shipbuilding, naval warfare, and various capabilities in the East had fallen behind in an all-round way, and there was only one home advantage left. Subsequently, even the home advantage was lost, and in the vast ocean, there was nothing to do with the Chinese.

Officials, families, wealthy merchants, they joined forces to expel the imperial court from the sea, and enjoyed rich maritime interests alone, but their calculations were too shrewd, without the support of national power, their maritime hegemony was a castle on the beach, and when Xiyi accumulated enough strength to kill on a large scale, the Oriental maritime merchants who fought alone were defeated.

Speaking of which, navigating the ocean is a competition between countries, and without the support and coordination of the country behind it, the organization of strength, no matter how powerful the merchants and pirates are, they are doomed to a dismal end.

When you fight in a team, you have to go alone, if you don't die, who will die!

Wang Yue thought about this, and was even more annoyed with the maritime merchant clan in the southeast, and gritted his teeth and hated it.

Mao Ji saw that Wang Yue was thinking, and he thought that Wang Yue was afraid, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lord Wang, the reason why Emperor Xianzong didn't continue to ask about the West back then was because he didn't dare to ask. Think about it, if you implicate Emperor Yingzong's master, implicate the important ministers in the court, implicate the wealthy family, and even the noble clan relatives...... The entire southeast will be in chaos, nine sides, southeast, chaos together, this Ming country, immediately beacon fire everywhere. ”

Mao Ji raised his head, looked at Wang Yue, and smiled bitterly, "Lord Wang, the old man was also young, and he also wanted to help the community and save the people." But after decades, this mind is long gone, and I also have a conscience, I know what is right and what is wrong! But that's the way the world is! No one can joke with their own lives, there are too many implications involved, even Emperor Xianzong doesn't dare to move, let alone others. ”

"Lord Wang, you are still young, as long as you stay in the officialdom for a long time, you will understand, it's not that you don't want to do things, but you really can't touch it! Just now you said that you can destroy my nine clans, why can't those people dig up Mao's ancestral grave! ”

"So far, the old man has only one piece of advice, don't cause a big disaster for yourself! The old man won't lie to you, and there's no need. I'll tell you the truth, if you can think of the old man a little well, and let me feel at ease for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied. ”

……

Mao Ji's honest words really moved Wang Yue.

"Elder Mao Ge, you are telling the truth, Wang Yue will be grateful to you. But don't worry, since I want to do something, I won't give up easily. And let me tell you, Wang also has a way to get things done! You don't have to worry about it. ”

Wang Yue got up as he spoke, and said to the people outside: "You prepare a better place for Mao Ge Lao, and then go to his house, bring all the things that Ge Lao uses every day, and serve Ge Lao to repair books." As for the rest, I don't have to worry about it. ”

Wang Yue wanted to leave, but Mao Ji was frightened.

He did tell the truth, but he wanted to make Wang Yue retreat, but who knew that Wang Yue was not afraid, on the contrary, he was still high-spirited. Now Mao Jike is about to cry.

If they can't stop the Western Ocean, once they move the jobs of those wealthy maritime merchants, there will be as many outlaws under them, even if Wang Yue doesn't kill him, the death will be very miserable!

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, don't do anything stupid!"

Mao Ji used both hands and feet, exhausted all his strength, climbed to the door, and looked at the direction where Wang Yue disappeared, old tears flowed, this is going to be a big deal!
