Chapter 149: Maritime Prohibition and Smuggling
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is definitely impossible to do big things this year, which Zhu Houzhao understands very well.
Whether it is now or in the future, we still attach great importance to the New Year, and the court will be closed from top to bottom, and all of them will be on vacation, so naturally there is no need to think about doing things. But it's time to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to get something out, it's time to shift your attention to business, it's time to build your own business empire.
I want to be the richest man in the world, this ideal cannot be realized in my previous life, I must achieve it in this life, set a small goal, and earn him one million first.
"Liu Jin, come in!" Zhu Houzhao greeted the outside and spoke.
It didn't take long for Liu Jin to run in from outside, his face was full of dust, and his body was also very dirty, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin helplessly. You must know that Liu Jin is a eunuch beside him, and he is a very powerful faction when he goes out, and in this Xianyang Palace, he is even more fearless, and he doesn't need to go into battle at all to clean up those old files.
But if he comes back cleanly dressed, how can he look like he's working? This is to show merit in front of the leader, Zhu Houzhao can't say anything yet, you can't dampen the enthusiasm of your subordinates, right?
"You go and prepare, tomorrow the palace will go to the eighth bureau to take a look, don't tell them, they are prepared, we won't see anything." Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin and instructed: "Don't be in a hurry over there the old files, take your time, don't break them, don't make any omissions, when the time comes, dry those old files, and then keep them well." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave maid will be done!" Liu Jin hurriedly agreed, then turned around and walked outside.
Zhu Houzhao is going to go to the eighth bureau to take a walk around to see how the eighth game is during this time, and since he took over the eighth game, he hasn't gone to see it in person, so he doesn't know what they are doing. Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao is really looking forward to tomorrow's trip, go out to have a look, and choose a good project to make money by the way.
While Zhu Houzhao was pondering, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, although Liu Jin walked in from outside with Yang Peng.
The status of this Dongchang factory has been greatly improved recently, and the Dongchang factory will not be very popular with Zhu Youjiao, but after the Yangzhou case this time, the status of the Dongchang factory has been greatly improved, and Yang Peng's status is naturally rising. waved his hand at Liu Jin to signal him to step back, and Zhu Houzhao said to Yang Peng with a smile: "Is there something you are here for?" ”
"The slave has seen His Highness!"
Zhu Houzhao can be at will, but Yang Peng didn't dare, and after meticulously saluting, Yang Peng said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the slave maid came here to serve the words of the emperor, and the emperor summoned His Royal Highness in the Qianqing Palace." ”
Nodding, Zhu Houzhao was not surprised, stood up and said, "Then go over!" As he spoke, he walked out, and after walking a few steps, Zhu Houzhao asked seemingly casually, "Do you know anything?" ”
"Back to His Highness, it seems to be related to His Highness's exit from the palace!" Yang Peng gave an ambiguous answer, but it was already very clear.
Zhu Houzhao didn't ask, because he continued to ask, everyone was embarrassed, all the way to the Qianqing Palace, after entering, Zhu Houzhao saw what his father was writing at the desk, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and said with concern: "Father, let them ghostwrite these things, so writing things at the desk hurts the body, father should pay attention!" ”
Looking up at his son, Zhu Youzhu put down the pen in his hand, stretched his body and leaned back on the chair, letting his son pinch his shoulder.
"I'm in good shape, and I still have to do some things by myself!" Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "This person can't slack off, he is lazy here today, and he wants to be lazy there tomorrow, it doesn't seem like much, it's all small things, but together they are big things, don't take evil as small, don't take good as small, it's the same here." ”
"The son has been taught!" Zhu Houzhao's expression also became serious, and he said respectfully, of course, this is not Zhu Houzhao listened.
is the so-called teaching by word and deed, saying that there is power to never do it, Zhu Youzhu This is not preaching, but a real and honest teaching, whether it is in the past life or this life, Zhu Youzhu is practicing his principles with actions, never slacking off, in the previous life he was tired and tired, although his health has improved a lot in this life, but he is still diligent in government.
When a person does this, you don't feel preachy or bored with what he says.
Zhang Juzheng, the teacher of the Wanli Emperor, is a negative example, he taught the Wanli Emperor to be diligent and thrifty, and even stopped the lights in the palace, but what about himself? Life is extravagant, travel is a large number of people, sitting in a sedan chair carried by thirty-two people, not only extravagant, but also prefabricated, so what do you make Emperor Wanli think?
He is still a child, and there is a Feng Bao by his side to watch, how big is Emperor Wanli's rebellious mentality?
Now Zhu Houzhao is preached by Zhu Youzhang without the slightest rebellious mentality, this is not the relationship between the two lives, even if adults are preached, they will be unhappy, and even rebellious psychology, why do you say me? Are you on your way? There are many such things in later generations, but when the leader charges ahead, everyone will not say such things, and they are still willing to follow him.
Zhu Youzhu naturally heard the sincerity in his son's mouth instead of perfunctory, and his mood suddenly improved, and he stroked his beard with a smile: "Are you out of the palace?" ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Well, I went out of the palace to the military department!" ”
"What did you do?" Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at his son and asked, in fact, Zhu Youzhu is still very curious, because Zhu Houzhao has not expressed his opinions publicly for so long, whether it is the early dynasty or the previous court discussion, his son only listens and does not speak, why did he go to the military department this time?
Of course, Zhu Youzhu knew about Zhu Houzhao's going to the military department, otherwise he wouldn't have found Zhu Houzhao.
"Erchen went to find the old file of the Three Treasure Eunuchs to go to Nanyang!" Zhu Houzhao didn't hide it, and he couldn't hide it from his father.
"Why are you interested in this?" Zhu Youzhu was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect this, his son likes martial arts, this Zhu Youzhu knows, and the force value is very high, and the training is also very good, and the soldiers of Xiyuan Zhu Youzhu have also gone to see it, and the training is really very good, not only strong but also brave.
If his son went to the military department to drop other old files, Zhu Youzhu was not surprised at all, but why was it the old file of the Three Treasure Eunuchs who went to Nanyang?
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "It's not that something happened in Yangzhou, Erchen found that many fields in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have been changed to mulberry, these people grow mulberry and raise silkworms, and then traffic a large amount of silk to foreign countries, and the imperial court's sea ban has almost become a scrap order now." ”
Listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu was also shocked, and he didn't dare to say confidently: "Is this so?" ”
"yes!" Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Many large coastal households are all doing this business, and the number of people involved in them and the wide range of officials involved in the case are far beyond imagination, and many ordinary people are involved. These people work for them and farm for them, and if they are not careful, they will be in trouble. ”
Compared with the smuggling of salt in Yangzhou, the maritime smuggling case is obviously bigger and more difficult to deal with, and the maritime merchants are most involved in some big businessmen, and ordinary people will not be affected too much.
Because these businessmen have fallen, then there will be businessmen who will replace them, even if Zhu Houzhao does not arrange for Xungui to intervene, there will still be people who will take over, and the people will just continue to make their own money! In this way, everyone will continue to live their lives, and naturally there will be no trouble, but the maritime smuggling case is different.
How many people in the entire southeast do things for the maritime merchants? Once the smuggling case is broken and these people are punished, what will happen to the people? Supporting a group of smugglers? It is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to do this.
The only way to solve the problem is to open the sea, otherwise once the smuggling merchants are defeated, then many people will have no way to live, and the population of Jiangnan has surged, and by this time, the land in Jiangnan has been difficult to feed these people. If there is no way out, there will definitely be a big problem, and once there is chaos in the southeast, it will be a piece of erosion.
In addition, these people also colluded with the Japanese invaders, who knows what they would do, and the Japanese rebellion during the Jiajing period was not because the overseas smuggling fleet became bigger.
Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chair with some distraction: "How can this be, do these people really have a home and no country?" ”
Looking at Zhu Youzhang's appearance, Zhu Houzhao was a little distressed, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was hidden from the world, and he was alone. However, Zhu Houzhao also knew that the root of this matter was the sea ban, and a sea ban made the maritime merchants in the southeast have no choice, aren't they worried about being arrested? Aren't they worried about something going wrong?
They are also worried, but when people can't survive, they dare to do anything, and when they do it big, it is impossible to let go.
With a quick way to get money, who will go back and continue to do ordinary work? This truth can be verified in many illegal industries in later generations, and it is difficult to turn back when you walk in.
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to say it, but when he saw Zhu Youji's appearance, he said: "Father, the carrying capacity of the land and the increase in population will become more and more unbalanced, if you don't think of a way, sooner or later you will be unable to bear it." The merchants along the coast wanted to smuggle for profit, and although it was not in accordance with the law, their feelings were pitiful. ”
Of course, these words were just Zhu Houzhao's words to comfort Zhu Youzhang, he didn't have much sympathy for those smugglers, and he would definitely have to clean up a batch in the future.
This has nothing to do with personal position, it is an industry that grows savagely, and if you want to bring it into management, you must prune it, but you can't prune it too hard, otherwise it won't grow.
