The three elders of the court gathered together to discuss everything that happened in the Moon Tower today, and discussed that tomorrow Emperor Hongzhi would take out his own internal money to organize people to go to the Golden Continent to find the three high-yield grain crops in Liu Jin's mouth.

In the mansion of a high-ranking family in the capital, a group of people from Jiangnan also gathered together, and behind each of these people there was a huge Jiangnan clan.

The big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, the children of the family speak for themselves above the court, and there are intertwined roots, like the roots of the old tree firmly control one side, like sucking the cancer on the body of this dynasty, constantly devouring the luck of the Ming Dynasty, until more than 100 years later, completely buried the Ming Dynasty.

These Jiangnan clans, who claim to be scholarly heirlooms, are the most greedy existences, and they will try to intervene in any interest, from salt, iron, grain, cloth, tea, etc., almost all the most profitable businesses of this era are almost monopolized by these Jiangnan clans.

They are also the most stingy, and stinginess does not refer to their stinginess like Grande's, but to their contribution to the entire Ming Dynasty.

As long as it involves commercial tax, salt tax, land tax and so on, they will oppose it unreservedly, if anyone in the history of the Ming Dynasty dares to involve the issue of commercial tax, they will eventually be killed by these Jiangnan clans, and some people even suspect that the mysterious deaths of several emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked with these Jiangnan clans.

Emperor Wanli reused the mine supervisor, and the interests of the merchant landlord group were damaged, so Wanli became the most dismal emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and those literati were eager to use the worst word in the world to describe the Wanli Emperor.

Zhu Youxiao reused Wei Zhongxian, when Wei was in power, he dealt a deep blow to the civil and landlord group, the situation in the country improved, and the situation in Liaodong also began to improve, but no matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian was, he was still a lackey in the hands of Zhu Youxiao.

However, Zhu Youxiao, who was only in his early twenties in his prime, also fell into the water inexplicably, and he contracted a serious illness because of this, and died a few months later.

This is very similar to the death of Emperor Hongzhi's son Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Mingwuzong Zhengde, who fell into the water inexplicably when he was in his prime, and then died after a few months.

Although the truth of history is difficult for future generations to know, after all, history is a clown who can be dressed up, but the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty inexplicably fell into the water in the prime of life, and finally died in a few months, which makes people have to suspect that this matter is not so simple as it seems.

Coincidentally, both Ming Wuzong and Ming Xizong tried to make some changes, and the changes involved the interests of civil officials and landlords and Jiangnan scholars.

The power of the Jiangnan Shi clan is intertwined, covering all aspects of the entire Ming Empire, and it is naturally impossible for them to know what happened in the Moon Tower today, and now when they gather together, their eyes are red, like a pack of hungry wolves.

"I didn't expect that this silk and porcelain would be equivalent to gold after being shipped to Europe, if we could transport a shipload of silk to Europe, wouldn't it be possible to exchange it for a shipload of gold?"

Everyone gathered around a simple globe, if Liu Jin was there, they would definitely be able to find that this globe was exactly the same as what Liu Jin painted in the Moon Tower today.

And the rudimentary globe made by Liu Jin is now in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi, and if it is painted only by relying on the memories of everyone at the Mochizuki Tower, it is impossible to draw exactly the same.

We don't know exactly what made this globe, but it can be seen from here that the emperor's palace is almost as transparent to them, and there is almost nothing they can't do as long as they want to do anything.

Some people pointed to the places in Europe, and they were eager to load several large ships of silk and porcelain to be transported to Europe now, in exchange for a boatload of gold, silk is very common in the Jiangnan region, but I didn't expect that in Europe, it can be equivalent to gold.

"I don't know how credible Liu Jin's words are, but there is no problem with the description of the Luzon region, Annam, Siam, Luzon, and Nanyang, the land is indeed very fertile, and rice can be harvested three times a year."

Many of the big clans in the south of the Yangtze River will go to sea, especially the scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the most of these people are to take the three routes of Nanyang, Waguo and Korea, and they know very well that the profits of sea trade are very high.

Therefore, on the one hand, the court vigorously supports the policy of banning the sea, because the ban on the sea will lead to fewer and fewer people who can go to sea to do business, and the fewer people who go to sea, the competition will naturally be smaller, and they can earn more.

As for the situation in the Nanyang region, these people of the Jiangnan clan know very well, and some people have even been to Nanyang in person and have seen the richness of the Nanyang region.

"If this Liu Jin's words are really credible, our ship can reach the Golden Continent by going northeast along the Wa Kingdom, this Golden Continent is said to be full of gold, and the barbarians here all use gold to build cities, and it seems that the barbarians here are very easy to deal with, if we can open up a voyage to the Golden Continent."

Someone stared at the Golden Continent with red eyes, in Liu Jin's words, this is simply a paradise for adventurers, there is gold everywhere, and using gold to build a city, thinking about it makes people want to go to the Golden Continent here to loot it now.

"This Golden Continent not only has gold, but also vast fertile land, this Liu Jin said, the central and eastern regions of the Golden Continent, all the endless fertile land, you can sit and wait for the harvest by sowing a handful of seeds, such a God-given land for the barbarians to occupy, it is really a tyrannical thing."

"There is also this Luzon and Nanyang region, where rice crops three times a year, and you can wait for the harvest after sowing seeds, and the land of Africa is also very fertile and vast, with a lot of gold, silver, precious stones, and ivory."

There are people who love land and have their eyes on the fertile fields everywhere on the earth, and for these landlords and gentry, there is nothing more to them like than land, and they even want to put all the land under their own name.

"Tomorrow, the court will definitely discuss this matter, I think we can all support the court to send people to the Golden Continent, Nanyang and other areas to explore the way, first look at the truth and reality, if everything Liu Jin said is true, then we can come back to discuss it again."

"This is a good proposal, I will go back and explain to my brother, write the question book overnight, and tomorrow's big event is to discuss this matter."

"Well, it's indeed a good proposal, let the imperial court send someone to explore the way first, and we'll wait patiently."

Everyone has already agreed on the matter of jointly promoting the imperial court to send a fleet to the Golden Continent and the Nanyang region tomorrow to explore the way, for these people, it is naturally the best to be able to let the imperial court do things for them for free without spending a penny of their own money.

Every abacus is tinkling, the benefits must not be less, one's own interests must not be moved, and contributions are absolutely impossible.
