Chapter 609: Sea Transportation
When Xu Wei walked into the Hall of Longevity, he didn't see Yan Song and Xu Jie, but instead looked at the Hubu Shangshu Fang with a solemn face.
Xu Wei's footsteps slowed down, causing Emperor Jiajing to smile in his eyes...... This guy was also brutally pitted by Fang Blunt some time ago, and it could have been sent away for 50,000 taels, and it was finally sold for 135,000 taels and 25,000 stone rice.
In the letter sent by Qian Yuan to Xiyuan, he scolded Xu Wei without dirty words, it was really a cub who sold Ye Tian and was not distressed!
How much effort did Lao Tzu spend in the southeast to toss to this point, you Xu Wenchang was so simply ripped off by others!
"Wen Chang, it's Fang Qing looking for you." Emperor Jiajing said simply, leaning lazily on the back of the couch and watching the play.
After receiving 230,000 pieces of silver, Emperor Jiajing's current mood ......
Tsk, the Blue Immortal's cultivation alchemy can continue, and it can also continue to buy and buy for the concubines...... Oh, there is no need to continue this, because many of the overseas strange goods sent by Qian Yuan to Beijing include pearls, coral, and ambergris.
Emperor Jiajing, who already knew Qian Yuan's overall plan, was not panicked at all, and just sat in the palace and watched the play...... This reminded him of the thirty-five years of Jiajing, sitting in the palace and watching the play with Huang Jin and Lu Bing...... Look at how Qian Yuan robs his wife hard and skillfully.
"Liaodong Famine ......"
As soon as he heard these four words, Xu Wei's face wrinkled beyond looking at it, and he arched his hand again and again: "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast and thousands of miles, and there is a famine in Liaodong Town, how can you ask for help from the southeast?" And I'm afraid it's too late, right? β
"Don't worry." Fang Blunt said with a confident smile: "If the rice and noodles are transported south from the canal, and then transported by mules and horses, it will not be able to slow down, so if this disaster is the ear, so only Zhenhai needs to produce silver, half of which will be lost to Liaoyang, and half will be lost to Guangning." β
Xu Wei sneered and said: "There is a famine in Liaodong, only silver is given...... Can silver be eaten or drunk? β
"In the end, it's not about buying grain, it's only June now, and there are still a few months before the new grain is put into the warehouse.
"Huguang and Jiangnan will inevitably have low rice prices this year, or they will go north with the canal?"
"Besides, there are at least 80,000 taels of silver left in the household department now, shouldn't it be the household department that produces silver?"
Xu Wei was dissatisfied: "Zhancai's ...... who wants money to die"
"Don't you dare to show talent?" Fang blunt's eyes widened.
Xu Wei took half a step back, "Don't dare." β
Huang Jin, who was standing next to Emperor Jiajing, covered his mouth and snickered, and whispered to Emperor Jiajing: "Emperor, the whole dynasty is up and down, and the Duke of Li'an can suppress these two people." β
Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly in agreement, after all? Gongsheng Ming, Lian Shengwei? Fang is blunt and selfless, Qian Yuan and Xu Wei both have respect for him? And about the ban on trade in the open sea? Only Fang Blunt stood on Qian Yuan's side with a clear banner.
After a few more rounds of back and forth, Fang Yu said in a loud voice: "Shipping? β
This is not only a blunt? The face of the Jiajing Emperor became solemn, and the sea freight was for the Ming Dynasty? It's a very taboo and sensitive issue.
If you can ship by sea? And what about the canal?
What about the tens of thousands of Caoding that depend on the canal?
What about the cities that thrived because of the canals?
This is a choice that may affect millions of people, even Emperor Jiajing and Fang Yu will never poke this hornet's nest.
When Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, it was so good and wonderful? Only planted a fight on the canal? Because of the North-South Grand Canal, which Zhu Di spent nearly a decade re-opening, the Ming Dynasty did not get any benefit from shipping from beginning to end, and this situation was maintained until the Qing Dynasty.
The benefits of restarting shipping during the Yuan Dynasty are obvious, but the disadvantages are even more obvious...... Haven't got the benefits yet? It may be that the bad has been exposed.
Emperor Jiajing frowned and reprimanded, "Whose bad idea ?!" β
This sentence points to the obvious? It's either you Xu Wei or Qian Yuan.
And Xu Wei laughed dryly twice and looked at Fang Dusk? "The minister didn't say it, and Zhancai didn't mention it? Isn't that what Gong Tsuan said just now? β
Fang was so blunt that his sleeve robe trembled...... Didn't you Xu Wei hook it up little by little?
From Huguang, Jiangnan rice price is low? How many ships to Ningbo Prefecture transport grain back to the sea? And then the sea ship went north to North Korea quite quickly......
Emperor Jiajing was too lazy to care about such a matter, and said sharply: "The major events in the court, you are a Hanlin, and he is a patrol of the imperial history, what do you know!" β
Xu Wei only promised yes, and secretly sighed that as Zhancai said, the time was not yet ripe.
After estimating in his heart, Xu Wei said: "Then the Ningbo Mansion will pay 50,000 taels of silver to buy grain from the north and transport it to Liaoyang and Guangning for disaster relief, and the Ningbo Mansion will send another 60,000 stone rice to Linqing and other places to sell to grain merchants." β
Emperor Jiajing glanced at Fang Dut, nodded slightly, and said, "Fang Qing is responsible for this matter." β
Fang Yu glared at Xu Wei before saluting and withdrawing.
Emperor Jiajing got up with his hand on the couch and paced a few steps, and the lion cat that had been lying on the couch jumped down lightly, shuttling back and forth around Emperor Jiajing.
"How many more hits in the face?" Emperor Jiajing smiled: "Win or lose?" β
Xu Wei raised his head and said: "Zhancai's messenger said a few months ago that last year, Zhancai personally went to Ligang to appease Wang Zhi, and the guards and Wang Zhiyizi fought in private. β
Huang Jin smiled and said, "What does Wen Chang mean...... Ten rods of Ying Ting's staff? β
"Well, Huang Gonggong laughed." Xu Wei immediately lowered his head, "I heard that the six branches of impeachment and exhibition robbed the people in order to collect money, and everyone in the garden was angry......
Emperor Jiajing snorted, "There are all imperial history impeachment Zhancai to form a party, and also impeachment Zhancai and you Xu Wenchang Qu Yijin!" β
Xu Wei scratched his nose and didn't say a word, with today's battle, the group of Suiyuan has officially become a political force...... In the impeachment of the people's science and Taoist officials, they all specially named "everyone in the garden".
Emperor Jiajing didn't care about this, bent down to pick up the lion cat, and said casually: "Go to the letter Zhancai, remember to let him collect some walking beads." β
Xu Wei was stunned, Jinyi Weiniu has come to this point?
Even Wang Zhi sent Zhancai a box of beads to know?
The next moment, Xu Wei realized that he was thinking too much.
Emperor Jiajing sighed: "When I first ascended the throne, I saw the beads in the palace, and I haven't seen it for decades since Jiajing set up the city in the second year. β
This is natural, the main responsibility of the city department is to pay tribute to the vassal state, and most of the treasures are sent to the palace, after all, it is the eunuch who is in charge of the city ship.
However, in the second year of Jiajing, after the battle for tribute in Ningbo, Xia Yan proposed to dismiss the city and the city, and the large coastal households and the government did not dare to send them to the palace even if they had such treasures as Panzhu.
And Emperor Jiajing ...... Just last month, another fourteen-year-old concubine was accepted.
After chatting casually for a while, Emperor Jiajing pointed to the high pile of folds on the table next to him, "How much silver did Zhancai give to Yan Donglou?" β
The sudden words made Xu Wei stunned, and he trembled and sweated like rain in a moment.
Emperor Jiajing seemed to be smiling, "The people who led the impeachment are all Huating protΓ©gΓ©s, hehe, it is said that the eldest son of Huating was whipped twenty times last night, and he is not allowed to get up today." β
At this moment, Xu Wei can be sure that at least in Beijing, the brocade guard in Lu Bing's hand is pervasive.
Why is it determined to be Yan Dong Building?
It's a very simple reason, the one who can toss such a big move in a short period of time is either Xu Huating or Yan Yi, and the two must be one of them, if there are other mountains...... Just look at Li Mo's fate.
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, "Go to the letter to show your talents, don't rub it any more, be careful that you are smart and mistaken by your cleverness!" β
Seeing Xu Wei wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead and retreat, Emperor Jiajing turned his head and ordered: "Zhancai is really a bit like Yan Donglou, this pit was dug ...... Even I used it! β
Huang Jin, who knew the inside story, said with a smile: "In the end, Zhancai still thinks about worrying about you." β
"That's right." Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment, pointing to the twists and turns on the case, "Let's stay in the middle." β
