In Tianjin, Liu Jin has been paying attention to the situation in the capital.

With the entry of sea fish into Beijing, the disaster and famine situation in the capital has finally been alleviated, although the millions of catties of sea fish every day can not make the entire capital people full, but at least they will not starve to death, and the price of a penny and a pound is also affordable for everyone.

In addition, there is still some food in the hands of the imperial court, and the minister of the military department also donated some food to boil porridge for disaster relief, and the victims have food and can live, and everything else is easy to say.

"Teacher, the price of grain in the capital has not come down, but those grain merchants have stopped eating grain from the south."

Tong Yuan very respectfully reported to Liu Jin the latest news from the capital, this is his work during this time, pay attention to the price of grain in the capital, pay attention to the price of grain from the south in all directions, where to go, and so on.

"It seems that they still don't give up, it is estimated that their counterattack will come in the next two days."

After listening to Tong Yuan's report, Liu Jin thought about it for a while and then smiled and said: "These people are really black-hearted, two hundred wen a pound of food, it feels terrible to think about it." ”

"Whoever makes a fortune should be killed."

Tong Yuan also said angrily, if it is just selling a few dozen wen a catty, it will not make people so angry, and now selling two hundred wen a catty is simply a rhythm that does not let people live.

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin~"

Just as the two were discussing, Zhao Erhu hurriedly ran over.

"There's news from the capital, there's news from the capital."

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"The sea is opened, in the early court this morning, Lord Zhou of the Ministry of Household Affairs proposed to open the sea in an all-round way, but it was strongly opposed by officials from the southern region, but the three cabinet elders and military generals and nobles all expressed their support for opening the sea, and finally the fishing was unlocked first, and the coastal areas were allowed to go to the sea to fish."

"At the same time, Tianjin has become the first pilot area to fully open the sea, not only the open sea, but also the sea trade is legal in Tianjin."

Zhao Erhu looked very excited when he said this, because he knew that this was the news that Liu Jin wanted to hear the most.

"Great!"

Before Liu Jin could speak, Tong Yuan on the side couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

He followed Liu Jin's side, although he didn't learn much about the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, but he learned a lot, a lot of other things, and he saw the richness of the ocean with his own eyes, the huge profits of sea trade, and knew the importance of the ocean.

It is also clear that this sea has too much, too much impact on the layout of his mentor Liu Jin, and now I hear that the fishery has been unlocked, and Tianjin has become a pilot to fully unravel the sea, which is a huge victory, whether it is for Tianjin, or for his own mentor, or for the entire Ming Dynasty.

"It's a pity that it's just unraveling the fishery, and it's just opening up Tianjin."

After listening to this, Liu Jin did not have the joy he imagined, but felt a little regretful, Liu Jin really understood the huge power of Southern Shilin in his heart.

It stands to reason that with his own layout, the emperor supports Kaihai, the military generals and nobles also support Kaihai, and some of the six important ministers of the cabinet also support Kaihai.

Liu Jin originally estimated that there should not be much of a problem with this opening of the sea, but in the current situation, he still underestimated the influence of Southern Shilin.

It was just a fishing operation, and it was only a pilot in Tianjin, which was too far from my expectations.

"It's okay, at least it's the fishing, it's also the opening of Tianjin, and finally the door of the folding fan has been opened a little bit, I believe that with more and more wealth flowing into the Ming Dynasty from Tianjin, I don't believe those people can still sit still, in the final analysis, it's still interests."

"Southern Shilin opposes the opening of the sea because the sea is beneficial to them, and if the sea is not good for them, if it is beneficial for them to unravel the sea, there will definitely be no problem in opening the sea in an all-round way."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile again.

As long as this Ming can open his door and get in touch with the vast world outside, then he will not be slowly falling behind all the time, and he can keep up with the pace of the Age of Discovery.

In this way, the future of the entire Ming Dynasty will turn to an unknown direction, and the fate of the Chinese nation will also change, and it will not be ruled by aliens after a hundred years, let alone backward and beaten after a few hundred years, and even the backbone will be broken.

This is what Liu Jin has been working hard to achieve all along.

For a member of the army, it is nothing to get rich, get promoted, and make a fortune, and it is rare to be able to do something and change something for this era, for this land, and for this nation.

Although it is only a pilot in Tianjin, it is also a good start, there are boats to go to sea, you can get a lot of food from the ocean, and you can also get a lot of wealth from all over the world.

The food in the ocean can benefit the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, and the sea fish is definitely the cheapest and most nutritious food in this era, and it is also the easiest food to obtain.

The nutritional value of marine fish is extremely rich, which can improve the physical quality of the Ming people, strong physique, people want to grow tall, powerful, and eat is absolutely inseparable.

In the new generation of later generations, this average is getting higher and higher, largely because the living standard is getting higher and higher, everyone is eating better and better, and the height is naturally higher.

If the Ming Dynasty could obtain vast and rich colonies overseas, ordinary people would benefit even more.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are many people and few lands, and the fields are very expensive, but in the vast world outside the Ming Dynasty, there are endless lands, countless fertile fields, if you immigrate to these places, ordinary people can also obtain a large amount of land, and no longer have to crowd on this ancient land.

With the expansion of immigration, the descendants of Yan and Huang will be able to multiply all over the world, and in a few hundred years, there will be shadows of the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world.

The fate of the Ming Dynasty and the fate of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be completely changed.

"But we still have to be cautious, just open fishing, opened Tianjin as a pilot, the maritime merchants and Shilin in the south will definitely not give up so easily, and this battle is not over, they are still unwilling to reduce the price of food, they must still be waiting for something."

But soon, Liu Jin pondered again.
