"yes, even if fishing is allowed."

Li Dongyang nodded, only in the years of famine will he understand the preciousness of food, and now that there is endless food in the ocean, it is natural that he cannot stick to the rules and stare at the ancestral system.

"It's just that if you want to lift the sea ban, it's not an easy thing, and the Shilin here in Jiangnan will definitely oppose it."

After thinking about it, Li Dongyang felt that this matter was not easy to promote, he naturally knew about some of the situations on the Jiangnan side, and it was not that no one had proposed to lift the sea ban before, but almost all of them were unanimously opposed by Jiangnan Shilin.

The interests involved in this are very huge, and the opposition forces involved are beyond imagination, in the Ming Dynasty, the power of Jiangnan Shilin is a force that cannot be ignored, especially in the middle and late periods, almost controlling the entire government, everything is their final say.

"It's really not an easy thing, but you and I should share the worries of the king, this thing that benefits the country and the people, even if it is difficult, should be done with all our lives."

Zhou Jing nodded, but said with a righteous attitude.

Although he is known as a pork chop skin, he often stares at Emperor Hongzhi's internal clothes, and he often spits on Emperor Hongzhi's face to admonish, but in the final analysis, he is actually still a person who is upright and dares to make a direct admonition.

Zeng said: "Relatives seek promotion without merit, ask for rewards without contribution, and hold Jiao Jiao to play and feast and waste excessively, resulting in an empty treasury, which should be vigorously suppressed."

This advice alone offended those imperial relatives and relatives, you must know that Emperor Hongzhi is a good person, so those relatives, these princes of the old Zhu family and something often ask him for rewards.

For example, Zhu Youzong, the king of Yong, asked to collect the tax money from the Hengzhou Tax Department and the Hengyang County River Parking Office, but Zhou Jing said that he could not agree. Xiaozong accepted the advice of Zhou Jing and ordered that from now on, the royal government should not ask for the collection of taxes from all over the world.

Chongwang Zhu Jianze asked for more than 20 miles of beach retreat in Henan, and Zhou Jing said that it was not appropriate to give it; Xingwang Zhu Youqi asked for more than 1,300 hectares of Chima Zhuhe and near the lake.

There are also two brothers-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi, Shou Ning Hou Zhang Yanling and Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling, these two brothers are looking for Emperor Hongzhi every once in a while to ask for land, salt, mines, and so on.

Emperor Hongzhi is a strict wife and a soft-hearted good man, and almost all of the requests of these two brothers are agreed, and Zhou Jing is also repeatedly written and admonished.

This almost offended the two Zhang brothers to death, making the Zhang brothers hate him to the core.

From these examples, we can know that this Zhou Jing is actually a minister comparable to Wei Zheng, Zhang Tingyu's evaluation of him: Jing Gang is square, good and strong, although he is resentful and does not provoke.

Of course, we can also see from another aspect, in fact, many systems in the Ming Dynasty are still very good, and some of the systems left by Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang are still very good, such as this salt introduction system.

But it is often the emperor himself who is the first to destroy the system, so that there is no way for the good system to be implemented effectively.

Although Emperor Hongzhi has a high evaluation in the history books, he is really a good man, the descendants of the old Zhu family, the emperor's relatives and so on are often found to ask for all kinds of things, salt, land, taxes, etc., he almost all agreed.

Not to mention anything else, just the salt introduction, he rewarded the Zhang brothers with hundreds of thousands of quotations, and this salt quotation can be directly used to the salt field to extract salt, and then take it out and sell it.

Other merchants had to work hard to transport grain to the border towns in exchange for salt, but these imperial relatives could easily find Emperor Hongzhi to reward them with salt.

The output of the salt field is limited, and the salt introduction of these imperial relatives and relatives naturally cannot be neglected, but the salt introduction obtained by those merchants who worked hard to transport grain could not be withdrawn, which greatly hit the enthusiasm of salt merchants in transporting grain.

This is also the reason why the salt introduction system has not been implemented in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and the imperial relatives occupy the nest so seriously that some salt merchants need to queue for decades before they can bring salt from the salt field.

Naturally, there will be no businessmen who will foolishly transport grain in exchange for salt, and there will be no way to implement this system of accepting grain and opening up the middle of the country, and there will be no guarantee for the border army.

Therefore, in the fifth year of Hongzhi, Ye Qi wrote that the grain should be opened for the silver to be opened, and the salt merchants did not need to transport the grain to the border towns, but only needed to pay the silver to obtain the salt introduction.

In this way, the salt introduction system in the process of grain collection and development could not be implemented one by one, and had to be changed.

This change, although in a short period of time allowed the imperial court to increase the annual income of one million taels of silver, but later the amount of silver became less and less, and the military expenditure of the border towns became larger and larger, the military needs were not satisfied, and the combat effectiveness became lower and lower, and finally formed a vicious circle, which directly dragged the Ming court to death in the late Ming Dynasty.

Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, many times the people below can't be blamed, and they can only blame the emperor, because they themselves were the first to disobey the rules of the game and broke the rules of the game.

(It's a bit far, let's just take a look)

Zhou Jing is upright, doing it in the position of the head of the household, he knows the difficulties of the imperial court, and also knows the suffering of the people, so seeing the huge harvest of marine fishing, he naturally wants to work hard to open the sea ban, so that the coastal areas can go to the sea to fish, get more food, and feed more people.

This is a great benefit to the country and the people, I didn't know it before, it can be said, but now I see it with my own eyes, naturally I can't ignore it, this is due to his consistent character.

It is precisely because of his integrity and courage to give direct advice that Emperor Hongzhi will reuse him and put him in the position of Tobe Shangshu, even if he is staring at Emperor Hongzhi's internal money every day, sometimes making Emperor Hongzhi very angry, but he has never thought of replacing him.

"What Zhou Gong said is very true, I am really ashamed!"

Hearing Zhou Jing's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Li Dongyang hurriedly said with admiration, Li Dongyang is a person who is more tactful, considers things more comprehensively, and is thoughtful, but he can be reused by Emperor Hongzhi, and he is obviously also a virtuous and good minister.

"How about you and I go to school together after we return to Beijing?"

"It is precisely with this intention that the sea should be banned for the country and the people."

Zhou Jing showed a smile on his face, looked ahead, looked at the spacious road and said: "There is also this cement, I will definitely ask Liu Jin for the method of production, such an artifact, it should be vigorously promoted to the whole world, and a broad road will be built across the country." ”
