Chapter 325: The Son of Heaven and Grace

"Fengtian carried the emperor's system, and from next year, Xu Hai's ship set sail from Ningbo Mansion to trade between the East and the West. All ships entering and exiting, before departure, must go to Ningbo City Shipping Division to register, receive a public certificate to guide the eyes, and still have to live in the departure place when returning to the voyage, and the offender will be punished. ”

Although it is just this fluttering sentence, it is undoubtedly an uproar for today's Daming. The sea ban has been in place for nearly 50 years, and before that, there will be chaos and war in the world, and no one will think about doing business overseas. As a result, even those famous port cities in the Song and Yuan dynasties, even the oldest old people, have long been unable to remember the entry and exit of merchant ships, and what people can remember is the magnificent scene of countless treasure ships going to sea.

The common people can not remember, the people can be confused, but the officials cannot sit idly by. If it is said that the previous rejection of the song flew into the General Administration Department like snowflakes, then the current Song Shu is like a heavy rainstorm, almost filling half of the General Administration's room, and it will take a lot of manpower to sort it every day. What made the officials of the General Administration Department feel powerless the most was that according to some of the scribes and adjutants on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, they were all handled by cabinet officials, and the emperor didn't read them at all!

Zhu Di was too lazy to look at these, but he read the notes sent by Zhang Yue carefully. Although he only received this note after this decree, it was quite a relief to receive such a thing at a time when the DPRK and China were constantly discussing.

At this time, under the pretext of recuperating under the pretext of a rheumatic attack, he sat leisurely on the rattan chaise longue covered with a thick fur mattress, and once again examined the meticulous handwriting, while looking at it and pondering in his heart, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, and his right index finger lightly tapped the armrest, a thoughtful look.

He naturally knew that neither the Japanese nor the Nanyang countries were good at building sea ships, so the Japanese and Korean tributary envoys were almost always using a few sea ships given by the Ming Dynasty, and most of the envoys from the Nanyang countries often came with treasure ships. The tributary envoy is called a tribute, but in fact he covets the reward of the imperial court. But even if he knew that seeing Zhang Yue write bluntly on it, he still couldn't help frowning, and scolded him for being bold.

However, there is a detailed analysis of the many follow-up measures for the opening of the Ningbo City and the possible changes in attitudes of various countries, including the number of tributary envoys. Even Zhu Di, who didn't know that this was the so-called feasibility analysis report, had deep appreciation for such a more specific, detailed and clear thing than the previous ones. He only copied the East Palace and didn't show it to others, but at this time, he had the heart to throw this thing out to see the minister's reaction.

Both horizontally and vertically know that it is Zhang Yue's handwriting, at most to make the wind and waves bigger. This kid is no longer in Nanjing at this time, and those civil officials can't catch anyone at all, so let them fight!

Raising his eyes and sweeping the palace eunuchs standing around, Zhu Di ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, summon the Hanlin attendant to talk about the bachelor Shen Du!" ”

Shen Du, who is over sixty years old, is naturally not young, although he is a bachelor of Hanlin Attendant, but most of the time he only transcribes and does not care about the draft edict, and he doesn't know how many golden jade books come from his pen. After being summoned to Renshou Palace, he couldn't help but feel a wonderful sense of absurdity when he learned that this time it was actually a copy of Zhang Yue's article.

When they first met a few years ago, he and his younger brother Shen Cang and Yang Shiqi argued for Zhang Yue's words for a while, and it can be said that Zhang Yue grew up step by step from scratch. Even if he thinks that Du Zhen's disciple is quite good, who would have thought that such a young boy would now set off the biggest wave in the court?

Although Shen Du was a little unimpressed with the opening of the sea ban, he did not reveal anything at this time, and after sitting down in the inner room, he dipped his feet in thick ink and wrote the first word on the paper with a pen. At first, he only thought it was an ordinary note, but as the pen went out one paper after another, and he came into contact with more and more contents, he gradually became moved, and when he paused for the last word, he rubbed his sore wrist, and couldn't help but reach out and pick up the stack of manuscripts, and read it seriously.

"I asked you to copy it so that others could see it."

Shen Du, who was watching intently, suddenly heard this voice, hurriedly raised his head, and saw that Zhu Di didn't know when he was standing in front of him, so he quickly put down the stack of paper and bowed down, but he didn't speak rashly. Sure enough, he soon heard the emperor tell him to get up, and another phone call followed.

"There are several manuscripts like today, and you are old, so you can copy this one today, and then come in and copy it day by day, and then send it out clearly. There's a lot of stuff piled up in the General Administration these days, and a lot of them have been sent to the Cabinet, but do you know why none of them have made it to my desk? These people keep saying that their ancestors have made the law, even if there are examples to refute them, they are all clichés without a trace of novelty, and they are not as thoughtful as Zhang Yue, so how can I take back my fate? ”

Shen Du said goodbye with a heavy heart, but Huang Yan, the celebrant and eunuch, entered Renshou Palace at this time. Because Zheng He and Zhang Qian were busy with the personnel of the four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors wholeheartedly, he often dangled in front of Zhu Di when he couldn't get involved. Relying on being one of the few old people left in the Yanwang Mansion back then, he pretended to be ignorant every time he mentioned some old things, which naturally aroused Zhu Di's nostalgia, and the master-slave relationship was a little closer.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Di, who was pacing back and forth in the warm pavilion, suddenly heard this sound, and immediately turned his head sideways, and saw that Huang Yan was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted the corner of his robe, and immediately laughed and scolded angrily: "Old man, the New Year's Day is approaching, the envoy of the DPRK has come, and the Ministry of Rites is receiving it, if you don't go to help manage it, you just ask about the prison all day long, and you know that you will run to me!" Get up, I can't get used to your trembling appearance of kneeling on the ground, how old you are like seventy or eighty! ”

Huang Yan had already anticipated Zhu Di's thoughts, and at this time he took advantage of the situation to stand up straight, and said with a smile: "How can the old slave compare with the emperor's dragon horse spirit, naturally he is old and useless." The old slave didn't have nothing to do to disturb the emperor at this time, it was the concubine Niangniang who had just ordered someone to send something to the British Mansion, so the minister came to report it. This British prince easily has an heir, but now he is still guarding the Xuanfu, and it seems that it will be the first month in more than a month, and this reward seems to be the same as other heroes? ”

"Well, if it weren't for your old reminder, I would have almost forgotten."

Zhu Di has been busy with the opening of the sea ban in the past few days, although someone has reported about the British Mansion Tim Ding before, but he forgot about it for a while. After a moment of silence, he ordered to add a sable fur to the old practice of giving meritorious deeds in previous years, a strong bow, six Wara Gong horses, and finally 20 palace silks with the pattern of blessing and longevity.

Huang Yan listened and repeated, and in the end, he smiled, as if he was rewarding himself, and at the end he smiled playfully: "As soon as this single seedling of the British Duke lands to the ground, he is the ironclad heir of the country, so naturally there is no need to be gracious, in fact, the emperor's grace before is really inexhaustible." It's not that the old slave is talking nonsense, since ancient times, there is no one like the emperor who treats meritorious heroes like this, and the strange way is that all the nobles and nobles have riveted their efforts to train the next generation, and the competition is the ability of the children and grandchildren! ”

If you want to be kind to the heroes, Zhu Di is the first to be the first. Not to mention that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and his father, the famous Tang Taizong, have not eliminated many heroes? He sent these heroes to guard the frontier, and at the same time sent the lieutenant as the eunuch to serve as the prison army.

However, what he wants to see more is that the children of heroes are promising, and Huang Yan's words undoubtedly scratched the itch. Thinking that Zhang Yue was also a "son of a meritorious hero", he became more and more energetic, and when he was ready to reward something, he suddenly thought that everything that should have been rewarded before had already been rewarded, and after a long silence, he suddenly remembered that he had seen Zhang Yue's brothers when Weifu visited the Wu'an Hou Mansion before.

"Zhang You's two sons are now on duty, and Zhang Yue is already a five-rank official, but I remember that Zhang Zhen, the head of the Zhang family, has not yet entered the office. Zhang Xin will still have to be in Jiaozhi for a while, so let's pass the decree to Zhang Zhenyin Prison Students. ”

Although he said that he just said that with ulterior motives, how could Huang Yan have thought that Zhu Di suddenly had the idea of loving the house and Wu, and he was extremely disapproving, but his face was full of smiles and said yes again and again, and he changed his way to praise the saints.

Taking advantage of Zhu Dilong's great joy, he said with a smile: "The emperor just gave the British male sable fur, but the old slave remembered that the emperor had also given Zhang Yue such a piece back then, what was the reason for that time...... By the way, it was the emperor who praised him for understanding etiquette and proportion, and he never took advantage of the emperor's private visit to expose the shortcomings of King Shouguang. When he came back from Jiangnan after his errand this time, he put the sable fur on the outside of this unicorn suit, and then put on the sword of the Son of Heaven...... Tsk, who doesn't say that God is gracious! ”

As the emperor, Zhu Di doesn't know how many things he has rewarded over the years, and he doesn't remember the things of a few years ago for a long time. Squinting his eyes and thinking about the situation, he smiled and said, "The unicorn suit must be brought with him, but that sable fur is a royal gift, and with his grandmother's temperament, he probably won't take it." Well, when he finishes his business, let him swagger when he enters the city! ”

However, Huang Yan retreated from the other side, but Zhu Di thoughtfully remembered another thing that few people knew, and then gradually smiled. The civil officials all complained about his preference for using the sons of the nobles, but how did these people know that if these generals were well trained, they would naturally be much stronger than those generals from poor families! There is no need to doubt the loyalty and talent of Zhang You's father and son, but the eldest one still lacks the ability to take charge alone, and the younger one is brave and brave, not good at strategy, I just hope that he sent them to do this trip to make the father and son grow a little more.

They're supposed to be there now, right?

Zhang Yue, who was far away in Songjiang Mansion, didn't know that Huang Yan was actually inciting the Son of Heaven to think of the old things many years ago, and he didn't know that the emperor was more thoughtful than he imagined. That night, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, but he was pondering the secret that Yang Shan finally revealed.

"The eunuch of this city is like the gatekeeper of the mansion, but if the tributary envoy wants to pay tribute to the court, he will keep a copy. And if the tributary envoys were bribed, he would raise the price of the court's boying, so that those tributary envoys could benefit. Not only that, but everyone in Ningbo who has a livelihood at sea knows that as long as they are willing to feed the eunuch who guards the town, even if they are investigated by the government, the city can even say that those smuggled things are bought by the market, so that they can be sold on the counter of the storefront! ”
