Thinking too simply, Qian Yuan really thought so, he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had never had a formal official maritime trade channel until now, and it was no wonder that smuggling was so vigorous and the Japanese were so rampant.

"Yes, it's too simple to think, now there is a shortage of silver in the court, there is a shortage of silver in the southeast, and I am also short of silver...... Emperor Jiajing smiled bitterly: "Even if the sea is opened and trade is banned, the city is re-established...... You Qian Zhancai may have a ruined future, and everyone will point to it. ”

Emperor Jiajing turned around and pointed at Huang Jin, "On the other hand, maybe Huang Ban will say your little things in front of me, and if you don't get it, you will be stabbed villain." ”

Huang Jin hurriedly shook his hand, "Emperor, the old slave doesn't dare." ”

"Even if you don't dare, that Feng ...... just now Feng Bao must have dared. ”

At this time, Huang Jin smiled and didn't speak, although Qian Yuan knew it in his heart, he blinked blankly.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing gave a look, Huang Jin explained a few words in embarrassment, which was very different from Qian Yuan's guess.

The institution of the City Ship Division was established in the early Tang Dynasty, when it was a full-time eunuch, and then the Song Dynasty was subordinate to the Transit Division, and the Ming Dynasty restored the old system, which has always been in the hands of eunuchs.

Since the beginning of the Chenghua period, tax revenues have gradually shrunk, and the finances of the Ming Dynasty have gradually been unable to support them.

In the three dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde, the relationship between civil officials and eunuchs was complicated, or used, or accepted, or-for-tat, but the city division has always been firmly controlled by the eunuchs.

Until Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, this benevolent brother was suspicious by nature, and good at power, extremely smart, and the power of the eunuchs retreated greatly.

Therefore, in addition to objective factors such as the ancestral system, the biggest question is, who is in control of the city?

Once the sea ban is opened and trade is allowed, passenger ships will surely gather, and the sea trade will flourish, and if the city is still controlled by eunuchs, the court Chinese officials will not do it...... At least Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are not doing it.

And if Qian Yuan proposed in front of His Majesty that it would lead to the re-establishment of the City Division, then there is no doubt that his reputation in the civil service system would be insignificant, and the lucky villain would be cheap to him.

But if the city department is in charge of the household department, not to mention that Emperor Jiajing is not satisfied, the eunuch system will regard Qian Yuan as a thorn in the flesh...... What's even worse, civil officials are still magnanimous, and eunuchs have never heard of big-hearted eunuchs.

Even Huang Jin, who is the eunuch in charge of the seal and the head of the East Factory, will not have a good face, although he has the favor of Emperor Jiajing, but he is not without opponents.

Therefore, it is really not a simple decision to open up the sea and ban trade.

"Figured it out now?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Qian Yuan, who was tilting his head and frowning with great interest, "It's still tender, pat your head and think that one is one out, and you will suffer in the future." ”

Qian Yuan pouted and nodded, "It's the student's simple thinking, this matter ...... I don't dare to let Huang Gonggong talk about me, and I don't dare to be knocked on by someone when I walk at night in the future. ”

Huang Jin glared at him with disgust, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's all false, and now the chaos is going on, and the reset of the city is just a moon in the mirror." ”

"It's true, except for the Japanese Kou, no businessman dares to go to sea." Qian Yuan shrugged indifferently, and suddenly smiled: "Actually, after the rebellion subsides, it can be done." ”

"The city shipping division belongs to the household department, and another fleet is set up for Huang Gonggong to lead the team to sail at sea to do business, anyway, Huangdian Beizhili is everywhere, there is absolutely no shortage of manpower, and a trip is ten times the profit, which is much stronger than collecting that tax."

Huang Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly, "This is the age to go to sea...... I'm really not afraid that this old bone will die outside, so I really want to say something about you in front of the emperor. ”

"Hey, Huang Gonggong doesn't have a godson yet, a godson?" Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Tsk, but you have to have a military ship to escort you, otherwise you will be robbed by pirates...... The eunuchs of the Three Treasures were almost robbed back then. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at it with a smile on the couch, although he wanted to come out of it, but at least he had this heart, which was more pleasing to the eye than those in the court who were deep in mind and only cared about the party fighting for money.

God is pitiful, Qian Yuan started his career in the southeast by making money, although he is known for his great military exploits, but the civil and military officials who are familiar with him all have thoughtful words in their evaluations.

Qian Yuan and Huang Jin, you cough one sentence at a time, Emperor Jiajing pondered in his heart, Qian Yuan's idea is not a bad idea, the city department will give the household department, and the royal family will build a fleet to do business.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing sneered, and couldn't see that this guy was still a good hand at making mud, tsk, he was a scholar.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the time, the most important task of the cabinet scholars is to deal with the mud, and the bachelors who do not know the mud are not good pavilion elders.

Well, this is also the main reason why Yan Song was spurned by a large number of civil officials, this guy has never been in harmony, he only knows that he is bent on welcoming Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, although he didn't want to admit it, but there had been no progress in cultivating and refining pills in the past few years, and he always had to consider leaving a few that could be used for later generations.

However, non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, at least it must be a Shuji origin, the new branch Jinshi was selected as a Shujishi, and after three years of study, the museum was disbanded, even if he did not stay in the Hanlin Academy, but because he studied in the Hanlin Academy, he was also regarded as a Hanlin origin.

In the palace examination every three years, Emperor Jiajing is the top three handpicked by Zhu Pen, and he can't say that he has much attainment in Shiwen, but his vision is not low, in his opinion, Qian Yuan ...... I'm afraid that the first-class jinshi is hopeless, and the second-class jinshi is difficult, and the Jishi ...... There is also little hope.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing was distracted, Qian Yuan glanced at Huang Jin...... It's time for me to go, right?

Huang Jin nodded slightly and walked over lightly.

At this moment, the sky suddenly shook, Qian Yuan moved a few steps unsteadily as if he was stepping on a leather ball, and he staggered to the table on the side, and there was a creaking sound in his ears.

Qian Yuan turned his head to look, the bed rubbed against the ground and made a noise, Emperor Jiajing's body swayed on it, Huang Jin stopped, his eyes were full of horror.

didn't have time to think more, Qian Yuan pounced on him, picked up Emperor Jiajing, who was still in a daze, and rushed away outside the hall.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

Huang Jin also reacted, shouting loudly and following behind.

The guards and eunuchs guarding outside the hall also felt that the sky was shaking, and when they were puzzled, a figure suddenly burst out, and everyone looked at it, and the person on his back was actually Emperor Jiajing wearing a Taoist robe.

Fortunately, the West Garden is big enough and there are not many buildings, Qian Yuan ran out of the dangerous area where the Wanshou Palace might collapse, stopped, and carefully held Emperor Jiajing up, "Your Majesty, it may be that the earth dragon has turned over." ”

"Smack!" Emperor Jiajing kicked over, "What are you panicking about!" ”

The guards and eunuchs all came up, and the panting Huang Jin hurried over, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

"Of course it's fine." Emperor Jiajing glared at Qian Yuan, who was stunned, "If you fall on the road, your eight heads are not enough to cut off!" ”

Qian Yuan laughed dryly, and looked at several palaces not far away vigilantly, "Your Majesty, it's better to be careful, the son of a daughter can't sit down, not to mention that Your Majesty is the lord of the world." ”

Qian Yuan, who had participated in earthquake prevention drills many times in his previous life, judged at the first time that it should be an earthquake, but it should not be near Beijing, and there was no danger.

But Qian Yuan immediately found that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to make himself more important, or at least heavier.

After a period of panic, Huang Jin summarized the news before he came to report, "Emperor, I don't know where the earth dragon turned over, it should be quite far away, everyone has a sense of shaking, but no houses have collapsed, no casualties, the military department has urgently sent people to investigate." ”

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the stone bench in the garden, nodded, and felt irritable again, he really wanted to get some money, and the turning over of the earth dragon meant that a large amount of money and grain would be spent later, and the treasury would be afraid that the rats would starve to death!

Looking up and seeing Qian Yuan who was still on the side, the corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth hooked a trace of arc, although he was reckless, but his heart of loyalty was undoubted.

Emperor Jiajing thought about it, there are still two months to try, and Qian Yuan may not be willing to reward him now.

"Let's go back, stop frolicking with fox friends and dogs, and concentrate on preparing for the exam."
