"Your Majesty, on Governor He's side, all the preparations for opening the sea have been completed, but the news has not yet fully spread to the provinces, so there are still very few people who report large foreign trade transactions to the Governor's Palace. Governor Ho thought that there were a lot of people waiting and watching at the beginning, and he should be a better ...... next year."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, the holy decree of opening the sea ban was issued late, as far as the current progress is concerned, it is also thanks to He Qiaoyuan's dedication to opening the sea ban, many things have been drafted in his heart, otherwise these things that have been completed so far will not be completed until next year.

“…… At the beginning of the opening of the sea, Fujian governor Sun Zhongcheng sent troops, and even personally led troops to exterminate many bandits and bandits, thieves on land are almost extinct, but pirates are still rampant, and there are even rumors that when you go to the sea to get a bow ship, you will grab a bow ship, and if you want to be safe, you have to pay them money, and the price is as much as 3,000 gold per bow, which is also the reason why many maritime merchants are temporarily waiting. According to local investigations, this was done by Liu Xiang, a great pirate in Guangdong......"

Emperor Chongzhen also knew about this, and for this reason, the Fujian sailors are now on their way back to Fujian. After he arrived, it should not be difficult for Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, to coordinate and exterminate Liu Xiang's pirates in one fell swoop.

“…… Governor He proposed that after the return of the Fujian Naval Division, he would join forces with the Franc Machine and Hongyi to suppress the maritime affairs in the shortest possible time! It's just that now the fleets of Franc and Hongyi have gone to the South Seas, and they can't be contacted for the time being. And when it comes to foreign affairs, the emperor still needs to give his will! ”

After Wen Tiren said this, he didn't say any more, looking at Emperor Chongzhen, obviously waiting for the emperor's opinion.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he groaned slightly: "This can be had, let Governor He do it." However, if these Xiyi conditions are proposed, they must be reported to me in time, and I will decide! ”

The implication is that it is okay to let Xiyi be a free thug, but if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, you have to ask him if he agrees or not!

Wen Tiren naturally understood the holy will, and immediately agreed, which can be regarded as the completion of the opening of the sea. Then, he continued to report the next major event: "The gold, silver, jewelry and other finances of the Tang Wangfu have been paid to the Daming Construction Bank in Henan Branch, and then only the remittance slip secretly arrived in Kunming, Yunnan, and now he is with Master Min. As for the fiefdom of the Tang Dynasty, the title deeds and other things are already in the hands of the governor of Nanyang, and at the same time they are supervised by the factory guards......"

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the emperor's face before continuing: "These land deeds are not only the fields given by the emperors of the past dynasties, but also the contributions of the local Diao people, as well as the fields obtained by the Tang kings in the past dynasties. And these numbers are even more than the number of gold registers! ”

The fields given by the emperors of all dynasties must be registered in the golden books of the imperial court. However, under the supervision of the factory guard, the number of land deeds handed over by the Tang King in the end far exceeded the number of gold registers. Although this matter is said to be a well-known thing, it is now on the bright side, and it is a big deal!

If the Tang King is like this, the other vassal kings will definitely not be clean, and the number of these combined will definitely be quite scary. And these often use the power of the vassal king to evade taxes. It can be said that the amount of taxes lost by the imperial court in this regard is a bit jaw-dropping.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, he glanced at Cao Huachun, and then looked at Emperor Chongzhen, seeing that he was not particularly angry, as if he was like them, and understood such a thing very well, so he opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if you want to clean up these fields directly, I am afraid that it will attract backlash from feudal kings and officials in similar situations, and the resistance will be great, and whether it can really be cleaned up in the end, Weichen is really not sure!" ”

If he was facing Emperor Chongzhen a year ago, Wen Tiren would never dare to say this. But in the past year's contact, Wen Tiren believes that the emperor is already a mature person, or a sophisticated person, and is very reasonable and a wise monarch. That's why he dared to speak so directly.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew that the contribution of the landowners and the encroachment of the emperor's relatives and nobles, civil officials and military generals had brought the land annexation at the end of the Ming Dynasty to a very serious point. If you directly clean up these fields and want to suppress land annexation head-on, this will have to be a cake of many powerful people, and it will definitely be difficult, even if you are the emperor, it is almost an impossible task to achieve this goal.

However, now there is such an opportunity, which can be regarded as a grass and a rabbit, which can just solve part of the land annexation, which can be regarded as a big harvest.

The Tang king wanted to change the feudal status abroad, and the land he owned naturally could not be taken away, and it was also agreed in advance that the imperial court would not take it back, and allowed it to be auctioned to encourage him to respond to overseas feudalism. Therefore, for the Tang King, it was in his best interest that all the fields were auctioned. At this time, whether it is the king of Tang or the imperial court, it doesn't matter what else is in secret, according to the provisions of the law, these lands will be auctioned in the name of the king of Tang. In this way, these fields, from now on, the imperial court can collect taxes, in fact, the effect of cleaning up.

When the Tang Dynasty's feudal overseas affairs can be successful, setting an example for other vassal kings, and then carrying out large-scale separation, the fields that the Ming can re-tax will increase by countless times. This alone is something that no court has ever done successfully before, and it is enough to leave a mark on history.

Therefore, as far as Shoufu Wen Tiren and the others are concerned, they are absolutely satisfied that this thing is done. Therefore, he was very nervous about the emperor's reaction.

I saw Emperor Chongzhen smile slightly, and said with a smile to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing doesn't have to be nervous, I had already thought of this when I agreed with King Tang about this. This matter is so good, but the name of the land is still in the name of King Tang. At least when the imperial army captures Dongwu and the Tang King can divide the past, these fields can be taken out for auction. ”

If this were not the case, the pressure on Tang Wang's side would be very great. After all, he is not the only one, and he will also be reprimanded by other vassal kings. Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to see this, what he wanted was that all the vassal kings were all feudal overseas, and all these people were kicked out!

When Wen Tiren heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and played: "Your Majesty is wise, but the minister is not as good as him!" ”

Although Cao Huachun on the side didn't speak, after listening to these conversations, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he also bowed down and patted his ass.

For him, women are useless. Now under the wisdom of the saint, the money is not of much use, and what he is asking for now is also a "name". If he succeeds in this, he has reason to believe that he will definitely leave a name in history in the future!
