Coming out of the main hall and seeing that there was no one around, Li Dongyang had a gloomy face and took a few steps forward: "Do you want to open the sea ban?" ”

Yan Chengjin's face froze, worthy of Li Gongmou, and he could guess his second layer.

"I can't tell Master Li yet!"

The sea is forbidden, and I don't know how many gentry will come to the capital to assassinate him.

He won't reveal the second layer until he thinks of a foolproof solution.

Li Dongyang's eyes were straight, this son didn't deny it!

"You really want to open the sea ban, Emperor Gao clearly ordered that the pieces are not allowed to go to the sea, if you open the sea ban, there will be officials to fight back."

The gentry smuggled in the port, and the court turned a blind eye.

The imperial court sent large ships to Mangarat and the island countries to open mines, and as long as they did not sell spices and silk, they would not harm the interests of the gentry.

Therefore, the well water of the court and the gentry did not interfere with the river water.

Yan Chengjin knew that if he opened the sea ban, many merchant ships would be able to go to sea openly.

Originally, overseas trade was only shared by a small number of people, but suddenly, it became a national share of the overseas cake.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "Lord Li will wait for another five days, and the lower officials can't say it yet." ”

was guessed correctly by the official, you are still prevaricating, Qing'e really can't marry you, Li Dongyang finally got tired in his heart, and the little favor that Li Dongyang finally got tired in his heart suddenly disappeared and walked away.

Zhu Houzhao knelt on the stone steps, and when he saw Yan Chengjin, he got up and walked over: "The palace miscalculated, it should be two hundred and forty taels, and there is a plate of peanuts that are not counted." ”

A plate of peanuts, forty taels of silver? Yan Chengjin knew that this guy wanted to pit him for money.

His Majesty gave a fixed number of months to the East Palace, two hundred taels of silver per month, and the celebrant kept the accounts.

Peanuts are still extremely rare in Daming, but the price is several times that of peanuts.

However, Yan Chengjin didn't care about the forty taels of silver, and reimbursed Zhu Houzhao.

"Father will really remove Master Fei's official position." Zhu Houzhao suddenly said seriously.

Yan Chengjin rarely saw that Zhu Houzhao was so serious for the master of the East Palace.

Presumably, when he stepped on Yang Tinghe, he was also angry for Fei Hong, after all, Zhu Houzhao is a person who doesn't like trouble.

If you can do it, you usually do it on the spot.

"If His Royal Highness returns 500,000 taels of white strips to the minister, the minister may have a way to let Fei Hong stay in the capital."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Two hundred and forty taels!" ”

Who can't afford to leave here? Yan Chengjin flatly refused: "That minister is out of the palace." ”

Back at home, Yan Chengjin took out the map and spread it on the ground.

It is not feasible to take the sea by sea.

When the boat goes to sea, it is very easy to be overturned by the waves, and the cargo ship is empty.

The gentry took this into account, and even if the sea was opened, they would not go to sea, and the problem was still not solved.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and looked at the Fuzhou on the coast of Daming.

Starting from Tianjin Wei, you can go south by sea, along Fuzhou, and arrive at various ports.

It is more difficult to rely on land transportation, and now the infrastructure outside the capital is no different from before he crossed.

In later generations, there were highways, and it was still difficult to transport goods from the north to the south of Zhili, not only to cross the mountains and mountains, but also to cross the river, not to mention the Ming Dynasty that did not even build roads and bridges.

Wang Busui was summoned to Yan's mansion with a smile on his face: "Young Master Yan, you are looking for a villain." ”

"How many big ships does the Chamber of Commerce have?"

"There are ten, but only six are in Beizhili, and the rest are in Hainan." Wang Busui wondered what Yan Chengjin was going to do.

Yan Chengjin sighed secretly, ten big ships are too few.

After a while, he kept drawing circles on the map, circled thirteen dots.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't see Yan Chengjin, and Mu Bin reported that this son was on leave for five days.

"What's the best of both worlds?"

Emperor Hongzhi was a little suspicious of his IQ, and after retiring from the court in a hurry, he left the three members of the cabinet in the main hall.

Xiao Jing spread out the map and stepped aside.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yutu and muttered to himself, as if confiding in someone: "What do you think, what is the best strategy for this son?" ”

"The minister guesses that this son should want to open the sea ban." Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

When His Majesty was already prepared, Yan Chengjin would not be too abrupt when he said it.

Li Dongyang remained silent, paying attention to Emperor Hongzhi's face.

Liu Jian's face was gloomy, the ship of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce went to Hainan, which was equivalent to tearing a corner of the sea ban.

Now, this son wants to open it all?

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Emperor Gao's ancestral system, let me abolish very little, if the sea ban is really opened, what do the princes think?" ”

It's a bit of a non-stop.

"The opening of the sea ban has nothing to do with the imperial court, but the officials will definitely not allow it, after all, it is a violation of the ancestral system." Xie Qian bowed down and said vaguely.

Overseas trade in the southeast was serious, and it was no secret that the gentry secretly went to sea.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded approvingly.

Of course, he hopes to achieve prosperity, but if the premise is to continuously abolish the ancestral system, it is inevitable that he will be a little shaken.

Zhan Shifu,

The scribe walked into Yang Tinghe's duty room quickly and bowed slightly.

"I haven't heard the news, but I heard from the little eunuch of Fengtian Temple that His Majesty is discussing with the ministers today, and Yan Chengjin is thinking about it, maybe it is to open the sea ban."

Yang Tinghe sent someone to inquire how His Majesty planned to punish him and Fei Hong.

But when he heard such news, his heart suddenly tightened, and suddenly, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He wants to enter the cabinet, Yan Chengjin also wants to enter the cabinet, if the hundred officials know that he wants to open the sea ban, they will definitely not support Yan Chengjin to enter the cabinet.

"Apart from Your Majesty and the Third Prince, who else knows?"

"Only the gatekeepers and adults of the Fengtian Temple." The scribe whispered.

Yang Tinghe is in trouble, how to spread the news?

Two days passed, and the hundred officials did not see Yan Chengjin, and when they heard about the affairs of Huaiyang and Yang, they suddenly became worried.

Yan Chengjin but whenever Mu Xiu comes back, he will definitely change the ancestral system!

What is left of the ancestral system today? Sea ban!

Outside the Zuoye Gate, Li Dongyang stood at the front of the line and waited for the court, and the hundred officials behind him whispered, and it seemed that the officials knew about it.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Liu Hongxiang bowed down in the middle of the matter: "The minister heard that Yan Chengjin is plotting to open the sea ban?" ”

The ministers boiled like boiling water.

Emperor Hongzhi pulled the corners of his mouth without showing a trace, how could it spread so quickly?

Li Dongyang sighed in his heart, I don't know how many officials want to kneel in front of the Fengtian Palace.

"Yan Chengjin is cautious, he is very timid, and the sea ban is an ancestral system, so Lord Liu is too worried." Zeng Jian spoke.

Who doesn't know that you are familiar with Yan Chengjin.

Liu Hongxiang moved his gaze upward: "But the best of both worlds is to open the sea, the merchant goods to go by ship, and the water to be transported for irrigation of the fields." ”

Hundreds of officials are not stupid, and those who can take the imperial examination will naturally not be tofu in their heads.

In addition to opening the sea ban, there is only one way left, pray for rain!

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Let's see what Yan Chengjin says after three days." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not open the sea ban!"

Most of the officials knelt down.

……

Yangzhou Mansion,

Chen Liangfu was anxious, and the gentry wanted to block the tributaries of the Cao River, and the people secretly destroyed the embankment and beat you to death.

The door soap trotted in, leading the head of the flowering small household.

"My lord, someone has come to sue again!"

The old man knelt in the hall: "My lord, the gentry rented the land to me and others, and they were not allowed to release water for irrigation, how can we cultivate?" Kill or bury, how can there be such a reason? The villain has no money to pay taxes! ”

There is no water for irrigation, and the land is as hard as bluestone, and the oxen can't pull it.

Even if it is irrigated, it needs water to feed the crops.

Chen Liangfu was so angry that he grabbed the startled wood and snapped: "Pass on the official's order, no one is allowed to move the water of Caoyun, and whoever dares to move Caoyun will be arrested!" Whether it is blocked or sparse, wait for the will of the imperial court to come! ”
