Soon, Liu Kang, the eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division, led Zhou Jiamo, the commander of Zhenhai, to enter the palace, and Zhou Jiamo brought a group of foreigners and missionaries behind him, including Spaniards, Dutch, British, Italian, French, and many ministers saw it very differently.

It sounds like the courtiers are arguing back and forth, all of which is a major matter of the state, which invisibly gives the emperor the impression that "all of us are loyal to the country".

In fact, everyone is more or less aware of the state situation, but in the hands of some people, it has become a tool and a good cover for struggle.

From before to now, the seemingly normal debate is actually hidden, and a considerable number of people want Jia Cong to roll up and get out of the way as soon as possible, and keep filial piety at home, don't think about it in the future, and don't think about being in the position after coming out, shouldn't you be kind? How many Hanlin Jinshi stared at the cabinet seats!

Zhou Jiamo and Jia Cong passed by, Jia Cong gave him the position, although the two did not exchange glances, they had already tacitly agreed.

The emperor was not interested in the suffering of this old man, but saw that many people came to worship, and suddenly gave birth to the pride and pride of the great power of the Ming monarch: "Can a foreign envoy know the beautiful language of our country?" ”

Daphne was among them, and James and Johnson were also in the United Kingdom, and Jia Cong had a relationship in the early years, because of the expulsion of the Yongle Dynasty, he retired to the country of Qianxiang to preach, and now he is coming, they do not kneel, Daphne replied in the fluent official language that he learned all the way: "The envoy of the British Empire is willing to trade with the eastern states for mutual benefit." ”

"Is the British Empire a small country to the west of the Kunyu Atlas, formed by the convergence of the two small islands of England and Ireland? It doesn't look like a province that is as good as me, how dare you call it a great empire? Ling was puzzled.

Devany smiled, wearing a white dress on her body, very sexy, and she replied fluently: "Your Majesty, the wise and great monarch of the East, presumably the great powers of the East are no strangers to Portugal and Spain. They were the first to come to this place full of gold, and traveled far and wide. And I, the British, have defeated them one after another, and the territory includes the Americas and Tianzhu, which is not smaller than your territory. ”

The Emperor was silent, but had a sense of broadening his horizons, and Devany gave a succinct account of their parliamentary form of government, and the ministers immediately looked at each other. Isn't the restriction of the king by parliament similar to the cabinet system in our East?

In this way, how can it be said that except for me, the East is full of barbarians? And it is that the previous few so-called "small countries" have all opened to our country, although it is a small fight, but if you have the ability to open it to other people's countries?

Although Jia Cong looks sick, he stands unshaken, and has a great bearing, which is why Jia Cong's strategic vision is higher than everyone else, he does not put all his energy on the struggle, but to let the country slowly open up, develop and rise.

By the way, it also rises with the family.

Then there was Christopher of the Netherlands, who knelt almost without hesitation, and Jia Cong wanted to laugh, but it was not entirely a matter of the Netherlands' lack of integrity or admitting defeat in their bones. According to Jia Cong, the Netherlands can be said to be the "first bourgeois state", and they were the first to set up real companies, banks, and shareholders, and regarded colonization as a career.

The fundamentals of the country of the Netherlands, almost the supremacy of commercial interests, kneeling for profit, money, career, they feel nothing.

Conversely, because of this, the Netherlands was so poor that only money remained, and the self-preservation of the bourgeoisie prevented them from being the first to industrialize, and affluence collapsed them.

In any case, people have also entered one of the nine world powers, and it is naturally very necessary to understand its advanced and inferior roots.

"We were the first to set up the East India Company, and although it is difficult to maintain it now, it is enough to be here to show that we are not economically and culturally weak."

The emperor had a good impression of his kneeling and was full of interest: "You can learn my Chinese rules and regulations and official language, even if you are a polite person, what is the Hua?" If you are polite, it is called Hua, what is it? The rude, uncivilized are also. Are you really kings investing in seafaring? So as to sit back and enjoy it? ”

"Yes, our original Queen Elizabeth was very discerning, and she invested her money to give legitimacy to the great voyagers. Easily, he earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Jia Cong's eyes are fixed on the tips of his boots, the great navigator? Aren't you just pirates! Britain has never been able to get rid of the essence of bandits!

Not to be outdone, Christopher said: "Our business in the Netherlands is more advanced than that of the United Kingdom, and I have inspected, similar to the money banks and ticket numbers in the coastal cities of the big eastern countries, we have more advanced and efficient banks and companies. ”

Devany snorted disdainfully, they finished speaking and presented gifts, and the discussion of the ministers gradually became quieter, and more people were understanding and digesting the little "impact of Western learning" brought by these foreigners, and some things were still incomprehensible to some people.

At this moment, Zhou Jiamo nodded to Jia Cong, personally held the silk silk map carefully drawn by Qianxiang Kingdom, and then after the eunuch changed hands, the emperor couldn't help but get up excitedly and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the work of opening up the territory that Dashun has not done in a hundred years, and Zhou Jiamo and Jia Cong are both great heroes." ”

Prince Zhongshun Ling was uncertain at the beginning, including those who had a relationship with him and stood on the same side as him, as well as those who were hostile to Jia Cong, and he was very lost and uncomfortable at once, and this time he introduced foreign envoys and paid tribute to special luxury products such as spices and ivory; this series of changes and counterattacks; What does this mean? It's obvious that Jia Cong is slapping them in the face with one palm!

However, can these flips of Jia Cong in front of him be refuted? Can it be refuted? The answer is no!

As we all know, tribute is no less than the expansion of territory for feudal emperors, not only that, but also for ministers, who are assisted and meritorious. It is even said that the Celestial Empire would rather suffer losses in tributary trade, such as rewarding and giving things to foreign countries, which are worth much more than the other party, and the monarchs and ministers are happy to see it.

This can be said to be a kind of great power feelings, Ze is dominated by all directions, and it is overwhelming. To put it mildly, yes...... Of course, this statement is purely from the point of view of merchants and commodity trade. Politics and business, on the other hand, can neither be confused nor equated. He absolutely does not approve of this kind of situation, which has no benefit to the country and cannot bring anything to the people, and he will use the blood and sweat of taxpayers to cover up the great achievements.

But now that he is following the customs, he has to use this thing in turn, and give back to him in his own way.

Suddenly, the world changed, and Prince Zhongshun Ling Juechu smiled, and was the first to come out and sing an ode: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think that Zhou and Jia should be rewarded, and they must not chill the hearts of heroes." ”

Jia Yucun's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly changed his words: "What the prince said is very true, and the minister seconded it." ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal, my emperor is wise, and the candle shines in all directions!" For a while, all the ministers agreed, and Gao Wenqi sang the eulogy loudly, and his teeth were almost crushed.

The emperor was overjoyed, elated, and discussed the knighthood. The Prince Zhongshun below is docile and polite, and Jia Cong responded modestly, which is nothing more than a humble word of love. Gao Wenqi and Jia Yucun had already signaled to the carver on duty again, and there were their thugs in the military department, and they immediately came out and replied: "The holy lord who shines thousands of miles and is wise and martial, the envoys of the Netherlands bow three times and bow nine times with my courtesy, and the envoys of Spain, Britain, France, and Italy should also be the same." ”

"Not bad."

"yes."

The vast majority of those who are in favor of it are not only political enemies, but also many ministers who believe that their own country is the center of the world and that foreign countries should kneel.

Jia Cong also said that he understands their mentality, because most countries in the world that have had a little bit of cultural civilization think that their country is the center, and even African tribes have such thoughts. However, when it comes to politics, isn't there someone fighting back against him?

"Bullshit prince, don't piss me off......" Jia Cong had a humble and polite professional smile on the surface, but in his heart he was planning how to kill a group of people and hostile forces, and he hated it very much in his heart.

"It's okay, when I was diving, although I didn't learn etiquette all the time, I was also taught." The emperor didn't know whether His Royal Highness could see clearly whether His Royal Highness was checking and balancing or not, and his expression was very satisfied: "Just now, a few cabinet elders and celebrant servants reminded me that the governors and governors of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong unanimously agreed to open the sea and open the port. The twists and turns are backlogged in my dragon case. I saw that this matter was discussed together today, and the red decree was approved. ”

When it comes to government decrees, it is the sensitive time of the rebellion of King Qin, Prince Zhongshun is not good to vote head-on, but some people are waving their flags and shouting, and many people are also very dissatisfied with the emperor's relaxation of "etiquette", Jia Yucun looked loyal: "The previous minister has said that the national funds of the open sea are consumed, and the income cannot make ends meet. ”

"The sea must be opened." Jia Cong stood up and said lightly: "Pepper and other spices, ivory and other animal materials, the gentry of the whole country, the princes of the hall, and my palace, who doesn't use it?" Let's ask the ministers, where do spices, ivory and other things come from if they don't open the sea? ”

"The tributary trade of the dynasties and generations can be executed, and it is enough to satisfy us, so why compete with the people?" Tobe Shirou said.

"The opening of the sea can provide a large number of jobs in the four coastal provinces and even Shandong, and maintain the stability of the overall situation, because the coastal areas are mostly small and people, and the land is narrow and people. Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding jumped out to support Jia Cong.

The emperor watched them argue with a smile, and Jia Cong looked around with awe: "Marquis Zhongjing is right, just tributary trade, how can you benefit the people?" I think it's the selfishness of a group of villains! If you don't open the sea, the history books of the Song and Ming dynasties are full of blood and tears, and they are recorded one by one: the more forbidden the sea, the more chaotic the people! The sea is banned, and the poor people along the coast are becoming more and more unable to make a living! The pirates and strong merchants took the opportunity to rise, and the pirates slaughtered my southeast, crisscrossing Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, as if entering a no-man's land! If the horses are put in Nanshan, the soldiers can't fight, isn't the fourth division of the military department derelict in their duties? Isn't it my dynasty that lost in the end? The people who forbid the sea are like this, the officials and businessmen control the smuggling, and once it is state-owned, the group of small people will be involved and chatter! Who is it that is competing with the people for profit?! ”

"Those who oppose the opening of the sea want to repeat the rebellion of the southeast Japanese invaders? Are the people tragically ravaged?! Do you want to destroy me? What is the intention?! ”

Wang Yingyuan is worried, why did he talk about the old topic again? I don't want Jia Cong to argue with reason, how many people don't know how to answer!

Sonic boom hall tiles, hearty!

Jia Yucun frowned: "This is just your one-sided words, I was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and I know more about the situation than my ancestral hometown of Jinling." ”

"Okay, has Jasma investigated the real situation in the four coastal provinces today?" Jia Cong asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not the job of the official."

"Without investigation, there is no voice!" Jia Cong's face was distressed, and tears flowed down his cheeks: "Who of you knows why my country's coastal harassment continues? The Ministry of Rites only knows how to use vanity and etiquette as a means of attack, and the Ministry of War only knows how to consider the position on the ass first, and how much does the Ministry know about the economy? Do you know that the economy has been the fundamental cause of border wars in our country since ancient times? ”

Jia Yucun, Prince Zhongshun, Gao Wenqi, and even Shi Ding, Shui Rong, Wang Yingyuan, Bi Zhong, etc., were all stunned! No...... Is there an argument about opening the sea and forbidding the sea? How can it be related to the economy? The economy is the fundamental inducement, which ...... What is the logical reason for this? I don't understand it at all!

"Since the Tang and Song dynasties, our country has been in a position of trade surplus, although foreign spices ivory are popular among the middle and upper classes, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it, this is your thinking. But what about the standard of living of the common people? Yes, you can ignore it, but why have wars and civil churches been prevalent for thousands of years? Have you thought about it? ”

Jia Cong said softly: "You haven't thought that foreign countries have been running trade deficits, as long as the trade deficit does not disappear. There will never be peace! It's always imperative to be stationed in town! In particular, several countries in the Western Ocean are now able to sail around the world, and once there are high profits in trade, the pace of foreign aggression will never stop unless they try to become stronger. Let me tell you a fact that I have seen with my own eyes: the British buy our tea, and they have high trade channels, and even cultivate it in large quantities in the Nanyang and Tianzhu colonies. That's not enough! They brought in the opium that enslaved and sickened the men and women of our country! Once addicted, once the opium is peddled at a high price, then, their trade deficit will be alleviated, then, we, can only wait for death! ”

"So, Your Majesty, the minister said that the household department and the military department should take care of this matter! Clarify the military and political economy! For the sake of the country! For the people! This is the reason why the minister said that the economy, military administration, and people's livelihood are important, and it is also the reason why the governors and governors of the four coastal provinces approve of the ministers. The ministers are worried, their whole body is sleepy, and their hearts are more than enough but their strength is insufficient. ”

"Later generations mourn Qin but do not mourn themselves, and they also make future generations mourn and mourn future generations, and future generations also ......" Jia Cong finished speaking, and the tears were not dry.

Political enemies, I don't know how to refute it, how to refute it? How much does he know? Even Gao Wenqi, one of his political enemies, couldn't help but think with admiration: "Jia Cong is not only a big man and full of wings, but no one sings better than him in a one-man show!" ”

Bi Zhong, the head of the household department, trembled with excitement and trembled his beard: "Your Majesty, the minister is most familiar with the affairs of the household department, and what Jia Cong said is all the words that shocked the world and woke up the country and became old to seek the country!" So loyal, the emperor and the queen of the earth, the sun and the moon are clear, and the drops are visible! ”

"No one is a villain!" The emperor clenched his fists excitedly: "My eyes are not blind, who is pampering?" Prevarication? Who's turning the tide? Regardless of safety? The Taiwan government has been submitted, the queen will come to visit soon, in the past there was a land Silk Road, creating a strong man, today open the sea silk, the achievement of a smooth through the ages. Those who do their best for this are loyal servants. ”

Jia Cong still has tears in his eyes, in fact, he and the emperor have not planted the seeds of contradiction since they met, which is not comparable to Zhang Juzheng, which is invincible.

Although he is young, although his spirit is not the best, his back is looked up to by countless people. The foreign envoys were amazed that Jia Cong hit the nail on the head of their thoughts, although they were silent at the moment, they were earth-shattering!
