Regarding the invasion of the Japanese in the Jiajing period and the relevant information of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing used his mobile phone to check a lot of information on the Internet.

During this period, the Japanese were serious for many reasons, including that the country was in turmoil, and some of the Japanese left the country to come to the Ming Dynasty to rob. In addition, the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea and did not allow private people to do business overseas, so some smugglers, pirates, etc. pretended to be Japanese to smuggle or loot.

"Forbidden sea is not a good thing."

The current Emperor Jiajing has a "God's perspective", and of course he knows that forbidding the sea and closing off the country will only become more and more backward, and in the end, he will be beaten if he falls behind.

However, Ming Taizu had an ancestral motto that "no inch board should not go to the sea", and the Ming Dynasty has always strictly forbidden the sea. Of course, there are times when it is loose, such as Zheng He's trip to the West is one of the representatives.

During the Jiajing period, the people were not allowed to go to the sea to do business, on the one hand, because of the ancestral training, and on the other hand, because of the raids on the sea by the Japanese invaders, there was no strong navy to maintain order.

Therefore, it is a hundred times to simply ban the sea.

But this led to smuggling, piracy was rampant, and there were many pirates during this period, so there are many pirates on the coast today.

To open the sea.

A reason is needed to avoid the ancestral teachings of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

"By the way, use your phone to foreshadow."

Anyway, the mobile phone is a "fairy weapon", and the immortal weapon indicates that even the ancestral training of Ming Taizu can't stop it. Emperor Jiajing suddenly had an idea.

In the days that followed, he continued to ponder how to implement the plan.

Opening the sea can not only alleviate the contradictions between the people and the imperial court, but also help to pacify the Japanese invaders, collect some tariffs to increase the revenue of the treasury, and most importantly, help Zhang Juzheng reform and help him complete his tasks and gain life.

A few more days passed.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter.

This is rare, and generally Emperor Jiajing takes the initiative to summon only the first and second assistants of the cabinet to ask about things.

This time, however, he solemnly asked all the cabinet members to discuss the matter.

"The Holy One suddenly summoned all the cabinet members, I don't know what happened?"

Chen Yiqin, a cabinet member, was a little panicked, he was afraid of Emperor Jiajing, afraid that he would have nothing to do, and what would make it difficult for them, and thought: Wouldn't it be that he remembered to build a palace again, a Taoist temple?

"There's no need to speculate, you'll know when you see the saint."

Xu Jie is very calm, and now he can't guess for sure.

But there are still people who keep speculating, such as Gao Gong: "I heard that Hai Rui left Beijing and may have gone to Henan to investigate the matter of embezzlement of money and silver." Is there a new situation? ”

Gao Gong was worried, Zhang Wenda, who had been sent to investigate the corruption of the silver before, was recommended by him. Zhang Wenda said that the problem is not big, if Hai Rui really goes and finds out the problem, it means that Zhang Wenda has an accident, so he really can't get out of it.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, the second assistant, Li Chunfang, and cabinet members Chen Yiqin, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng. The five of them came to the lobby outside Emperor Jiajing's Xuanxiu to wait, and Chen Hong, the master of ceremonies, was also there.

"Gonggong Chen, do you know what the Holy Lord is doing today?"

Gao Gong asked.

Chen Hong himself didn't know, but it was impossible to say directly that he didn't know, otherwise it would be embarrassing, so he pretended to be mysterious: "Why are you in a hurry, you will find out later." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Jiajing arrived belatedly.

Huang Jin followed him.

Emperor Jiajing walked from the fine house to the lobby outside the door, and took out the "immortal weapon" out of thin air in front of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and others.

The Cabinet had seen it a few times, but each time it was incredible.

It is incredible that the immortal weapon can be placed in the body, taken out and put in at any time.

Emperor Jiajing unlocked his mobile phone, and everyone saw two words displayed on the mobile phone screen: open the sea.

Everyone was shocked!

This is an immortal artifact, and the Ming Dynasty is going to open the sea!

At the same time, it turned out that the emperor had come to them for this matter.

After paying attention to the reaction of Xu Jie and the others, Emperor Jiajing said: "I have seen it all, the immortal weapon has a new sign this morning, open the sea."

Although Taizu has ancestral training, Zheng He went to the West before, and now the immortal weapon is heralded. I must not disobey it, and I am summoning you and others today, not to discuss whether to open the sea, but to discuss how to open the sea. ”

There is an immortal artifact, and everyone dares to talk about Taizu's ancestral teachings.

Moreover, Emperor Jiajing said that he did not talk about whether to open the sea, but directly talked about how to open the sea.

"The saint is ordained by heaven, and the ministers will fully assist him."

Xu Jie said: "Since the immortal weapon indicates the opening of the sea, it must be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that at present, the coastal pirates are constantly encroaching, and even if the sea is opened, I am afraid that few people are willing to risk going to sea. ”

Gao Gong said: "To implement the policy of opening the sea, the first thing is to solve the Japanese bandits, otherwise, I am afraid to encourage the trend of the Japanese bandits." The minister believed that it would be more appropriate to pacify the Japanese and then open the sea. ”

Emperor Jiajing was noncommittal, looked at Zhang Juzheng, and asked, "Zhang Juzheng, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Juzheng saluted and replied: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks." Opening up the sea and allowing the people to go to sea will not only not encourage the Japanese invaders, but will help them exterminate them. ”

Gao Gong immediately retorted: "How do you say this? The Japanese will not be destroyed, the sea will be opened to allow the people to go to sea, and when they reach the sea, they will be robbed by the Japanese invaders, isn't it a disguised breeding of the Japanese invaders? ”

Xu Jie said: "What Master Gao said is very true. The saint, the minister also thought that it was most appropriate to destroy the Japanese and then open the sea. Zhang Juzheng's words are not well considered. ”

Then Emperor Jiajing was still noncommittal: "Wait for Zhang Juzheng to finish speaking, and then it's not too late to discuss." ”

Something is wrong, why does the emperor suddenly seem to pay more attention to Zhang Juzheng?

Xu Jie, Gao Gong and their hearts flashed with doubts.

Listening to Zhang Juzheng continue: "The minister's words have a basis.

First of all, in addition to the large increase in the number of pirates themselves, there are also some smugglers and pirates disguised as pirates, which makes it more difficult to pacify the pirates.

And most of these smugglers and pirates are forced to do so because they cannot go to sea to do business. Once they were allowed to go to sea to do business, and with appeasement, these problems could be solved, which would weaken the momentum of the Japanese in the past, and would be more conducive to pacifying the Japanese invaders.

As for the possibility of going to sea to be robbed by the Japanese pirates, this does exist. However, as long as the crackdown on the Japanese is strengthened, it will be able to shelter those who go to sea to do business.

At the same time, the imperial court provided safe shelter for those who went to sea to do business, and could collect a certain amount of tariffs, thereby increasing the revenue of the national treasury and maintaining the order of doing business at sea.

In addition, there were also those who could not trade with the Ming Dynasty at sea and participated in robbery or smuggling, and the implementation of the opening of the sea benefited them, and it could also help pacify the rebellious Japanese pirates. ”

The reason why Zhang Juzheng said so thoroughly and knew so much was because Emperor Jiajing passed through his breath.

For the next reform, coupled with Emperor Jiajing's words about opening up the sea, the benefits can outweigh the disadvantages, and Zhang Juzheng must support it.

Chen Yiqin was surprised: "There are still people who pretend to rob the robbers? ”

Xu Jie, Gao Gong gave him a roll of the eyes, what was the fuss.

Xu Jie said: "It's just a very few. Most of them are real pirates! ”

Emperor Jiajing said at this time: "I think what Zhang Juzheng said is extremely true, and the matter of opening the sea will be handed over to Zhang Juzheng to do, and you will wait for assistance." ”

Is this agreed?

Too fast, right?

It can also be discussed.

Xu Jie, they were surprised, but they didn't dare to go against the holy will, so they had to follow the order.

Emperor Jiajing asked Zhang Juzheng to do it, but he also wanted Zhang Juzheng to accumulate more merits, and then promote him to Shoufu as soon as possible to start reforming and changing the law.
