The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

This was the first time Lu Zhen had met and talked with Jin Lian, the god of wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and he was a little surprised to find that he was only in his sixties, and he looked older than Hu Hu, an eighty-year-old man.

This is actually the sequelae of overwork. As the head of the household, Jin Lian had a really hard time in the past few years, because of the defeat of the civil fort, the vitality of the imperial court was greatly damaged, especially in the treasury, which was even more stretched, and it was almost empty enough to run mice.

And in this case, there are many people inside and outside the court who stretch out their hands to ask for money, and in the case of constant internal troubles, it is Jin Lian's Shangshu that constantly flashes and moves, so that he can barely maintain the normal operation of the entire imperial court, and the exhaustion he has paid is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Therefore, he has only been a scholar of the household department for a few years, Jin Lian looks much older than his actual age, not only is he full of silver hair and he can't see half of the black, his face is also wrinkled, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and his eyes are even more deeply tired, and when he gossips with Lu Jin, he will cough lightly from time to time.

"Lord Jin has to take care of your health, Your Majesty and I can't do without you." Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but say with concern.

"Ahem...... It made Lord Lu smile. Old man, I'm afraid that time is running out, and this Ming Dynasty will have to be handed over to a young man like you to watch in the future. Jin Lian smiled reluctantly, and took a sip of tea before suppressing the churning sensation in his throat.

"Lord Jin is really ashamed of this, everything you have done for the court over the years is obvious to all, if you don't work hard to make up money and say something bold, I'm afraid my Ming Dynasty will not be so peaceful. Others may not know the merits of the imperial court, but our courtiers can see it clearly, and the Son of Heaven must also know it. Lu Zhen was busy with the truth, but what he said was also the truth.

"Lord Lu is serious, and the old man is just doing his own thing in his position, since he has given me such a heavy responsibility and trusts me, that is, he should also do his errand well." After a pause, he looked at Lu Zhen again and said, "But if you want the old man to talk about it, you Lord Lu really helped the imperial court solve a lot of trouble." If you hadn't been bold enough to open the sea in Shandong, and in the first two years, you would have been able to send a large amount of money to the imperial court, and the old man would have been unable to throttle his expenses. So if you want to talk about credit, you, Lord Lu, will only be above the old man, and the old man will thank you for helping this one. So saying, he struggled to get up and salute.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen hurriedly stood up first, and quickly went over to support the old man: "Don't be like this, my lord, the lower officials can't afford your gift." I am a junior, so it is natural to do something to help the court in some small things. ”

Jin Lian didn't insist, and sat down again following the other party's movements, and then a pair of old eyes swept Lu Zhen a few more times, as if he was waiting for something. After the latter returned to his place and sat down, he also felt this, knowing that the other party should have guessed his intention, so he stopped going around in circles, looked at the old man and said: "The old man is ashamed of the praise of the lower official. But there is one thing that the lower officials must admit, that is, the opening of the sea is indeed beneficial to the imperial court.

"But nowadays, there are always some conservative and short-sighted people who have great prejudices about this matter, and they always want to ban the sea route again. For this reason, I will find more trouble with me, a person who advocates the opening of the sea, and do everything I can to attack and frame me.

"In fact, it's okay for the lower officials to be framed by them, but opening the sea is really an important move for the benefit of the country and the people, and it can't stop because of the ignorance of some people. It's just that the subordinate officials are soft-spoken, and there are many opponents in the court, and what they say may not be useful, so they ......"

"Do you want the old man to come forward to justify this opening of the sea?" The old man's eyes flashed with a gleam that didn't match his description, and he looked at Lu Zhen and asked.

Lu Zhen did not dodge and retreat because of this, but looked at him and said, "That's right." The old man is highly respected, and he is the person who best understands the benefits of opening the sea to the imperial court, if you can open this mouth, there will be many fewer opponents, and the Son of Heaven will have a lot less worries. I also hope that the old man will think of my Daming Jiangshan Sheji and be on this table! Then he got up and threw himself to the ground.

Jin Lian sat there calmly, and after receiving this salute, he said leisurely: "Do you know that the old man has found out that he is seriously ill after the year, and I am afraid that time is running out. ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhen was taken aback: "The boss has to take care of himself!" ”

"The disease is terminal, and the medicine stone is hopeless." The old man sighed softly: "Actually, the old man thought about resigning and returning to China at that time. It's just that the court is complicated, and I can't get out for a while, so I stayed until today. ”

"The boss's loyalty to state affairs is really admired by the lower officials!" Lu Zhen praised sincerely.

"It's just in his position, and it's just a matter of doing things." Jin Lian waved his hand and said: "Actually, the old man is in the household department, and some things are indeed more clear than ordinary people. Take your opening of the sea as an example, although it has broken the rules set by Taizu a little, it has indeed brought benefits to the court and the people. Now the treasury is gradually filling, thanks to this initiative. So the old man is naturally supportive of this matter. ”

"Can the old man ......" Lu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and tentatively wanted to ask. was interrupted by Jin Lian's movements, only to see him take out a note from his sleeve and hand it over: "You take a look at this first." ”

Lu Jinyi took it as he said, and quickly swept it with ten lines, and then his face showed a complicated look, both surprise and admiration, and even some shame in it: "Boss, ...... you are"

"This old man has already written it, just wait for the day to resign to His Majesty, and he will send it up, just think that the old man will do something for my Ming court before leaving. Therefore, even if Lord Lu doesn't come to ask the old man for help today, the old man will make this clear to His Majesty. ”

It turned out that what was written in this note was Jin Lian's profound statement that the opening of the sea would bring many benefits to the court and the people. In order to, it is natural that the Son of Heaven can strengthen his determination to open the sea. After understanding this, Lu Zhen naturally had mixed feelings in his heart, and felt that his intention to use Jin Lian was too dirty.

Jin Lian's words continued: "Of course, the old man is also a little selfish. Because I know that most of the people in the DPRK and China have opinions about Kaihai, I only dare to explain everything to Your Majesty before leaving, and I hope that Lord Lu can understand you. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Lu Zhen nodded. This state of being an enemy of the Manchu officials, if he was either forced to do so, or he did not want to run into anything.

"You should stay for two days, after two days, the old man will go to this trick with Your Majesty, presumably with the little credit of the old man over the years, Your Majesty is still willing to listen to this suggestion."

With Jin Lian's commitment, Lu Zhen finally made up his mind and knew that the matter had taken a turn for the better. It's just that after coming out of the Golden Mansion, his heart was heavy, and he didn't feel excited about it. Because he knows that when this thing comes true, it means that the court has one less pillar of the old minister, which is not a blessing in the world.

@@@@@

Jin Lian really did what he said, and three days later, he resigned from the official position with illness and sent it to the court with all kinds of benefits to the court and the world, which should continue to be maintained and even carried forward, and then it was sent to the court of Mingfa.

Suddenly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, so that the Manchu civil and military forces did not know what to say when they were talking endlessly. In other words, everyone was stunned by Jin Shangshu's hand.

Jin Lian has worked hard in the past few years, but he has a very good reputation in the DPRK, and in addition, he analyzes the pros and cons of opening the sea from the perspective of a professional, and his persuasiveness is more than ordinary people, and it is more acceptable. Therefore, when this statement became known, many officials who had been wavering had been convinced, and those who had resolutely wanted to resist going to sea also had a different idea.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because he had no interest relationship between Jin Lian and Lu Jin that everyone believed his words. If Hu Hu or Yu Qian are replaced to play this table, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced. Moreover, he resigned due to illness after taking this statement, which makes it even more obvious that he did this out of public intentions, so that those opponents could not refute him from the perspective of identity.

You must know that those officials who are conservative and oppose the opening of the sea themselves do not know much about this matter, and what they can oppose is just a few reasons for attacking people to be deceived by interests and have bad intentions. Now that Jin Shangshu has left without worry, then these arguments of theirs are naturally completely untenable, so they can't even refute it.

After understanding this, Lu Zhen had some admiration for Jin Lian. The old man really knows the point of argument, and he can actually use the method of retreat to block the mouth of the opponents. Of course, even if Lu Zhen knew this method, it would be impossible for him to use it. He is still young, but he doesn't want to resign and leave the court directly for the sake of opening the sea.

The effect of Jin Lian's table was soon apparent. When the opponents were difficult to refute, Hu Hu's people quickly followed, and the original argument that the sea was misleading the country and the people took place in an instant, and countless commentaries bluntly said how much the sea was beneficial to the imperial court and the country, and it was necessary to expand the area of the sea.

When the momentum is gaining momentum, it is too late for those who oppose it to speak out, and their supporters are no longer able to speak out.

So, half a month later, the Son of Heaven took this opportunity to issue an edict, bluntly saying that the benefits of opening the sea, clearly writing the world, since then abolishing the sea ban, opening the seaport, encouraging trade to the sea has really been set as the national policy of the Ming Dynasty!

After several years of hard work, at this moment the dream finally came true, and the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty was completely opened!
