Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a long time.

The silver of the imperial court is not spent on the blade, just like in the previous life, if you have money, you will not invest.

Sooner or later, the family will lose its wealth and be surpassed by the West.

Moreover, the silver was plundered.

Qin Hong, the military department, frowned and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Do you want to send troops to Korea, Annam and Ryukyu?" They are all tributary states of the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and if the people of the tributary country are enslaved, won't it destroy the tributary relationship? ”

Ma Wensheng nodded: "Only captured prisoners of war will be willing to do hard labor."

Capture hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war to come to the Ming Dynasty, even if they send troops, they don't have so many troops. ”

The Tatars and Jurchens often captured the Han people in the border areas as slaves and slaves.

No one will be willing to serve as a servant in another country.

The ministers nodded, believing that Yan Chengjin's strategy needed to conquer other countries to be realized.

At this moment, Wang Shouren bowed slightly: "The minister thinks that what Lord Yan said is right."

The ministers sent envoys to Annam and Ryukyu, and saw that the people there were living in poverty, and their houses were built with bluestones, and they were not hungry.

If the imperial court conscripts and promises food and clothing, the minister thinks that there will be many feudal people who will gladly go. ”

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Pacific Ocean was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The displaced people of the Ming Dynasty are still hungry, let alone like Ryukyu and Korea.

Most of the people of North Korea make a living by hunting and digging medicinal herbs.

The island nation is in the Warring States period, and there are wars everywhere.

When the new king of Annan ascended the throne, a great drama of partisan struggle would soon be staged.

The only prosperous world is peaceful, only the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "Wang Shouren is right, Your Majesty invited the people of other countries to come to Daming to share the prosperous world, which is their blessing." ”

Like the Dibai in the previous life, how many people went across the country to move bricks.

It's just a normal basic exercise, idle in the country, and these people have no way to live.

Liu Jian stroked his beard: "It will take at least three years to widen the canal, which will not solve the problem of Huaiyang's dry transportation." ”

Emperor Hongzhi is in full bloom, and what he is most concerned about is the solution to the dry up of Caoyun.

Liu Hongxiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "This is Lord Yan's best of both worlds?" ”

This son shouldn't dare to touch the sea ban, right?

It should be, there has been a lot of uproar between the DPRK and China in the past two days, and he should have heard the wind and dared not violate the ban.

Yang Baocheng thought to himself.

Yan Chengjin said: "Huaiyang Caoyun can dredge the river and release water to irrigate the people. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What to do with the gentry's freight and the imperial court's boats?" ”

The hundred officials looked at it, even if the gentry didn't transport the goods, the imperial court would have to transport grain, right?

Is it finally coming? Open the sea ban!

In the end, the sea will be banned.

Baiguan suddenly became nervous, and looked at Yan Chengjin curiously, but saw that he didn't plan to say anything more.

At this moment, a figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate bowed slightly, and Liu Lai said in a deep voice: "Ministers please beg, open the sea ban!" ”

Baiguan's face was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The fighting spirit was high-spirited to deal with Yan Chengjin, but halfway through the way, he made a trip to bite the gold.

This man is the son of Liu Gong, right? The officials were a little confused.

Liu Jian was like being struck by lightning, the sea ban was an ancestral system, but he never thought that the person who advised him to open the sea ban was his son.

"Liu Gong? Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

"Yan Chengjin! Are you still human? ”

Xie Qian helped Liu Jian so that he didn't fall, Liu Jian waved his hand, eased his nerves, and endured without gaffe.

Yan Chengjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This trick really worked, and Liu Jian was killed first.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry, and it was clear that this son wanted to open the sea ban: "Yan Chengjin, why do you want to open the sea ban?!" ”

"Your Majesty, this son of wolf is ambitious, and he actually instigated Liu Yushi!" Han Yuan's words are not angry.

Yan Chengjin pulled out a long map from his cuffs: "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

Xiao Jing opened the map and presented it to Emperor Hongzhi.

It was the map that Yan Chengjin took away, but there were thirteen more red circles on it.

"What is this?"

"The port of the minister's painting."

After a while, Xiao Jing presented the map and showed it to Liu Jian and the others one by one.

Starting from Tianjin Wei, Yantai, Laizhou, Songjiang, Taizhou...... All the way to Guangzhou Mansion, it was drawn by a red circle.

Yan Chengjin said: "The goods of merchants can be transported by sea, the minister has drawn thirteen ports, there are ten big ships in Liangxiang, plus the imperial court, there are a total of thirty big ships.

Three large ships form a fleet, divided into ten fleets, and cycle through thirteen ports.

If a merchant wants to transport goods, he can send them to a large ship, pay the freight, and then go to the port to receive the goods in a horse-drawn carriage, or put them in the warehouse of the port and pick them up at a later date.

In this way, you can pay commercial taxes and solve the worries of luck. ”

The imperial court was overly dependent on the Grand Canal.

If shipping can be opened, it can drive all coastal ports.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought, but it was a good strategy.

"If the ship sinks, what will happen to the cargo?" Han Wen looked at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin said: "Lord Han asked well, the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce provides a guarantee, and the gentry can pay a premium for the goods, which the official calls insurance." ”

The Jin merchants began in the pre-Qin period and have a history of more than 1,500 years. The Hui merchants began to sell in the Tang Dynasty and gradually became stronger than the Jin merchants.

I don't know how much silver I had.

The heritage of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is far inferior to that of Jin merchants and Hui merchants.

Monopolizing Daming's shipping and insurance business may be able to catch up a little.

Ma Wensheng's mind flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "You just want to open the sea ban, take advantage of the Huaiyang Caoyun to dry up, and admonish Your Majesty!" ”

A master of the ministry was angry: "Ma Gong is right, the ancestral system has corrupted you!" ”

"You still use Liu Gong's son as a shield, you, you are despicable!"

At this time, outside the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Houzhao sneaked over, and the little eunuch dragged him with a sad face: "Your Highness, the court discussion is not a child's play, and the slave and maid will be severely punished by Gonggong Xiao." ”

"Hmph, this palace is not afraid of Xiao Daban."

poked his eyes at the door, and he leaned his face against the window to look in carefully, looking at Master Gao to save Fei.

On the royal steps, Xiao Jing saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the windows of Fengtian Hall were all broken by Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Chengjin asked: "Ma Gong knows, why did Emperor Gao set up a sea ban?" ”

"In order to prevent the vassal state from invading our dynasty and prevent the Japanese from attacking, we also want to avoid wantonly building sea ships and costing the people and money." Ma Wensheng is not in a hurry.

There is also immature shipbuilding technology, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not reap the benefits at sea.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "Yes, but now, Wang Shouren repelled the Japanese in Songjiang Mansion, and the overseas is temporarily stable."

Although it will cost two taels of silver, if the sea is banned, I am afraid that I will earn more silver a year, which is more than commercial taxes. ”

Expand the market, towards the domestic and overseas dual circulation.

No matter how high the price of silk is, it can only be sold to ten people in the court.

After the sea ban is opened, it can be sold to a hundred people, or even ten thousand people.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought, and Li Dongyang was weighing the gains and losses of both.

The officials brewed for a long time, thinking about how to stop this guy who wanted to abolish the ancestral system.

Yang Baocheng said: "Your Majesty, the sea ban is the most important ancestral system, Emperor Gao advised, future generations, you can't violate this ban!" ”

Yang Tinghe also said in a timely manner: "Yan Chengjin let the big ship of Liangxiang go to sea, using power for personal gain!" ”

The crowd in the hall was indignant, and waves of voices sounded.

Liu Jian cheered up angrily: "Let the big ships in Liangxiang transport goods, and it will monopolize maritime transportation." ”

Li Dongyang bowed his head, and Liu Gong's analysis was reasonable.

Liu came to see Liu Jian: "Father, Lord Yan is thinking about the common people in the world. ”

"Shut up!"

At this moment, Yan Chengjin took out the third layer: "The minister also has a way not to open the sea ban." ”
