Chapter 199

Chen Yubi plucked up his courage and looked at Wanli and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, Gao Qihua and Shen's consistent remarks just now are exactly the same as Ma Yi's remarks on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the year before last, so the ministers have to be suspicious!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with being the same." Wanli slowly sat down on the throne, "Ma Yi was killed, I feel a little sorry when I think about it now. He has no selfish thoughts, but what he says disturbs the government. I only asked him to beat him with twenty canes, but I didn't expect him to ...... Wei Dynasty! ”

"The slave is here!" Wei Chao hurriedly replied. The emperor is not the same as before, it is really different. If Wanli was just a playful child in the past, now he has more and more the majesty of the emperor, which makes people unable to see through and understand. With such a master, you have to be very careful, and if you don't get it, it's all over.

"You should also take care of the people in the East Factory! I remember that it was Wang An's godson who carried out the court staff at that time, and he had already been punished. Check out, who asked Wang An's son to kill Ma Yi! Wanli narrowed his eyes, tightened the robe on his body again, seemed to be very cold, and stood up again.

The emperor has a godson, which makes Wei Chao chuckle in his heart! It seems that the old rules of the celebrant make the emperor very dissatisfied, but the thousands of people in the ceremonial eunuch have become accustomed to such a name, and it will take time to change it. If the emperor doesn't like it, he will resolutely correct it! He secretly thought that he could no longer be knocked on by the emperor on this, and when he mentioned it again next time, I am afraid that someone's head should fall to the ground.

"Yes, the slave will check when she goes down." He bent down respectfully.

"I heard that there are a lot of children in Ma Yi's family, as well as old parents, to be appeased, allocate some silver, and take it from Da Nei." Wanli didn't know what was going on today, this matter had been forgotten in the first place, but it was brought up again by Chen Yubi, so he simply made a decision. Chen Yubi's head oozed cold sweat again, and he originally wanted to use this matter to beat Gao Qihua, Shen Yi and others, but he didn't expect the emperor to give the tone first, so this matter would end here, and he couldn't mention it anymore. On the surface, it seemed that the emperor was appeasing the dead Ma Yi family, but in fact, he smoothed out the treacherous turmoil just now. In this matter, he Chen Yubi can no longer do it, and the emperor's attitude is already obvious, the matter will pass, don't always take it out to talk about things!

Wei Chao's waist never straightened: "Yes, the slave and maid will do it when they go down." ”

"When the country is difficult, it is difficult to be a family, and the country and the family are the same thing." Wanli sighed a little, isn't this Ming family's home difficult? "Last year passed, what about this year? Should you quarrel or quarrel, Zhao Shoufu, you are the head of the cabinet, what are your plans? After calming down the scene that was about to erupt just now, he turned the topic to the main topic.

"Being in charge is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditures." In fact, Zhao Zhigao didn't know how many times he thought about this matter in private, "For example, last year, which expenditure was normal, but how much do you really need to spend?" For example, if the Ministry of Industry repairs the palace in the palace, why not take timber from Yungui, and have to transport it from Nanyang so far away through the sea? Because the timber in Yungui Mountain could not be transported, Yang Yinglong rebelled again, I remember that during the Jiajing period, the imperial court had already discussed that Yungui would build roads, which would not only facilitate the government to manage the Tusi in the mountains, but also facilitate the mountain people to transport the mountain goods down. Li Hualong is doing a good job now, calming the emotions of the mountain people, and asking them to help guard the wood for the tribute, if he can do this at that time, the millions of taels of silver in the palace can be saved. ”

When Wanli heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That Zhu Yidao is really capable, he copied the homes of the seven major toasts, and got out millions of taels of silver, except for more than one million taels left to Li Hualong, all the rest were transported to the interior. There are also those priceless jewelry and furniture, if you say who has contributed greatly, these people here have been busy all their lives, and they have not contributed as much as Zhu Yidao at one time. He helped Li Hualong find a way to auction those furniture, and now Banzhou's annual tax is on the top of a larger prefecture and county! Although the courtiers have a lot of complaints about this matter, everyone still has no opinion on the silver, if they all have Zhu Qianhu's ability, why is my Ming treasury so empty?

He nodded and looked at Chen Yubi.

"The Ministry of Labor is responsible for this matter, and the minister is responsible." This is not the time to argue, and Chen Yubi can only bow his head and admit his mistakes.

Zhao Zhigao then opened his mouth again: "All the expenditures this year must be focused on this, and then the cabinet will discuss it carefully." ”

"Shen consistently." Wanli suddenly called Shen Yi's name, which made him kneel down in fear. What does the emperor mean by calling his name at this time?

"You just said that everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, is that what the elder said?"

"That's what it means, but Shousuke-sama said it more thoroughly." Shen always knelt on the ground and lowered his head, also not knowing what the emperor meant.

Wanli nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He doesn't know what's wrong with him, and now he is actually interested in business, although Zhu Yidao is not in business, but his practices all contain commercial factors. Slowly, his own concept has also changed, as long as he can add silver to the internal money, even if he does a little business, it will not hurt. Otherwise, the things that Zhu Yidao did would have been stopped a long time ago, so now he also has more appreciation for Shen Yiyi, who has similar thoughts to Lao Zhu.

"I just listened to you and stopped, and it seems that there is still a lot of things to say. I want to hear your thoughts, and let the big guys refer to it. Wanli sat down again, but it was much more comfortable.

"Yes!" Shen has always been obviously a little excited, but he tried his best to calm down his emotions and was named by the emperor to say his thoughts, this kind of opportunity is rare! In fact, this is not the minister's train of thought. At the beginning of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Chengzu began to order Zheng He to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean, seven times before and after, and the goods were passed far and wide, until the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaders ravaged the sea, which stopped. During this period, the annual trade between our Ming Dynasty and Western countries was tens of millions of taels of silver. The ministers are in the ministry and know what the officials think, if it is open source, it is better than trading with overseas. It's just that there are too few officials in our Daming Society to do business overseas, and they are too bad at doing business, and now that the trade routes are blocked, the Japanese are once again ravaging the sea, and it is said that they will even attack Korea. If we can open up a treaty port in the south, and then choose a person who is familiar with business to work in the local area, it should be able to add a lot of silver to my Ming Dynasty. ”

"This idea has always been discussed by Shen and the minister." Zhao Zhigao suddenly took over the conversation. He was very surprised, why did Shen always put forward such an idea, he didn't think about it, but what official would be willing to engage in such a lowly and vulgar business? At that time, I thought about it a little and rejected the idea. Let the businessmen do it, naturally, there is no problem, but if you let the government come forward to do business...... This opening must not be opened!

Gao Qihua and Zhang Wei immediately subconsciously looked at Shen Yiyi, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head at them like a confession.

"As long as the road of sea cargo is smooth, the next thing is what to transport. It's just that because the sea is too risky, most of my merchants in Daming are reluctant to have too much communication with overseas, after all, the rampant behavior of the Japanese has brought great losses and risks. The minister felt that if the tax could be reduced and those merchants could be encouraged to actively go to the sea to trade, this may not be an option. When they are in distress at sea, they will naturally ask for help from the government, and at that time, my Ming Navy Division will go out to attack again, and they will provide grain, grass, baggage and logistics, which is not impossible! Zhao Zhigao's rather forward-looking idea, not to mention Shen Zheng, even Wanli was shocked and speechless. Is this still the old man who only knows how to read the books of the saints? Shen Cheng looked at Zhao Zhigao in disbelief, he saw the loophole in this idea at a glance, and encouraged merchants to actively go to sea to trade? Without the guidance of the government, you are encouraging them to smuggle, right? Moreover, the people who do business are all bold and careful, and it is difficult to say whether the government can control them, and it is encouraged to be encouraged, but it must be carried out within the scope of the government's jurisdiction and control, and the government must not be allowed to wander outside of trade! But Lord Zhao's opinion, as long as the government encourages merchants to go to sea to trade, and then helps them open up trade routes to ensure safety, everything will be fine? Even the army's grain and grass logistics were handed over to those merchants who only had silver in their eyes! It's just ridiculous!

"Back to the emperor, Lord Zhao's opinion is also agreed, but to encourage merchants to trade and give them policy convenience, so the government still has to protect the lifeblood of merchants. They should not be allowed to come and go, among them, my Ming court and the local government still have to play a leading role in regulation. Shen has always expressed his opinion tactfully.

"In addition, the tax of merchants is not allowed to increase within three years, and only when there are more people doing business along the coast, my Ming tax and silver will go up." Wanli grabbed the topic. He was very excited, it was not easy for these old stubborns to come up with such a solution, could it be that they were all blushing when they watched Zhu Yidao make money? He knew that Banzhou's current thriving situation made the surrounding Sichuan and Guizhou provinces very jealous, but he didn't understand business, and simple imitation would not work. The governor of Sichuan had already sent a letter to the cabinet to apply for an auction business to increase local taxes, but the cabinet's instructions were to wait and say, and the matter had to be delayed.

"The Holy Tomorrow is no better than the emperor!" Chen Yubi hurriedly patted his ass, "In this way, there will be more people in Zhejiang who are willing to do business, and the taxes that can be paid will be greatly increased!" Their lives are much less stressful! ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" All the people fell to their knees and praised aloud, as if the money had already been in their hands.
