Zhu Yousong sent Lu Weiqi and the others away, and then remembered to exhaust Luoyang's belongings and return to the capital.

After some tossing, when I returned to the palace in the capital, it had been half a month. There were many women in the pedestrian this time, and Su Yue was pregnant, which was slower than when she came.

In the final analysis, it is the road of the Ming Dynasty that is not easy to walk. Thinking about future generations, Luoyang is four hours away from Beijing. I don't know when there will be such technology, but Zhu Yousong thought to himself that his arrival would make the railway lay in the Central Plains in advance.

The priest of the Luoyang church knew that Zhu Yousong had changed from a prince to an emperor. Not only did he send someone to inform the Governor of Luzon Franc Ji overnight, but he also immediately asked to go to Beijing together. Zhu Yousong was noncommittal about this, he himself did not believe in any religion, but he did not want to restrict the right of others to believe in religion.

Looking at the foreigners in front of him, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but think of a group of people who were far away in Europe. They were all sent by themselves, and they had been out for more than half a year, and according to the agreement at the time, there was still some time before they came back. The two places looked at each other across the sea, but it reminded Zhu Yousong that it was time to develop navigation. After all, if you are on the other side, if Daming's ship can't go there at all, it will be difficult to solve anything in time, and you won't be at ease.

Lifting the curtain, Zhu Yousong happened to see Fang Yingfan, who was youzai and happy. Now he considers himself the ruler of the country, and he is a little complacent. At this time, he was following behind, looking around, and his face was full of joy.

"I want to see Fang Yingfan."

After a while, Fang Yingfan was flattered and entered the carriage and asked, "Your Majesty is calling, what are your orders?" ”

Zhu Yousong asked with a smile: "You Fang and Yu families, you control the canal ships, and you have always built your own ships, right?" ”

Fang Yingfan's face was triumphant, and he said respectfully: "Yes, our ancestors have their own shipwrights for this single and micro skills. ”

"So good, I went to Jiangnan that year and took Dongfan Island. The warships that have seen the red-haired people on the sea have spread throughout the sea, and the sea area of our Daming Dynasty is not a smooth road for others to come and go at will. ”

Fang Yingfan looked embarrassed and said, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, most of the ships we built are for the canal to transport goods. There are many differences in the construction of sea ships, which is not what we are good at. ”

Zhu Yousong had long expected this result and comforted: "It's okay, since your shipwrights can build river boats, as long as someone guides them, it is not difficult to build sea boats." ”

The Ming Dynasty has the largest number of people in this era, the most powerful royal power, and the energy that can be mobilized is not comparable to any country in the world. It can even be said that it is not far behind all of them combined. The loose city-state of the Netherlands, in order to make money, can rise, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

Just thirty years ago, the Dutch, in order to make money, did not have any big businessman who wanted to be the master of the country. Fearing that their earning energy would be delayed, the shrewd Dutch came up with the idea that they would entrust their country to the Queen of England, willing to recognize her as their monarch and be ruled by her. But later, I disliked that the Queen of England collected too many taxes and was reluctant to give up her hard-earned money. So they rebelled and formed a government.

In just 30 years, they have gone from being a commodity distribution center in Europe to becoming a global maritime hegemon.

Daming's family background is more than a hundred times richer than theirs, and Zhu Yousong is fully confident that in this best era of sailing, he will get a piece of the pie, and moreover, he will have the biggest cup.

When Zhu Yousong returned to the capital, the first thing he did was to gather the vassal states and receive tribute from all countries.

The governor of Luzon learned that his ally, who had become the master of this vast empire, excitedly led people to land from Tianjin. This one was the first to arrive.

To Zhu Yousong's surprise, his old rival, the Dutch, also came. Today, the Dutch East India Company had been established as a commercial company with state functions to colonize and plunder the East and monopolize trade in the East.

In the eyes of this country, everything is secondary, and only money is the most practical thing. Now the maritime strength of the Ming Dynasty has changed from what it used to be, and since Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, the strength of Taiwan Island has been smoothly integrated with Fujian Province. With this strong backing, it is no longer a lone army floating in the vast ocean.

Zhu Yousong also relieved his suspicions and warmly received the Dutch envoys. And made an exception to exempt these tributary countries from the three kneeling and nine bows, and allowed them to worship according to the etiquette of their respective countries to meet the monarch.

After all, if you want to be truly respected, you don't want to kowtow to other people's heads. It's about having the strength to convince them.

When Francois saw that Zhu Yousong wanted to talk to the Dutch, he couldn't help but be shocked. They had lost the strength to compete with the Dutch, and if they lost Zhu Yousong, an ally who had become so powerful in vain, they would have a hard time in Asia.

But Zhu Yousong clearly did not want to draw a line with them, and he clearly told the governor of Luzon that the Ming Dynasty would not get involved in their rivalry on the European continent. But now the big cake of Asia must be dominated by Daming, and everyone will share it together. We won't swallow it alone, but the knife that must cut the cake must be held in Da Ming's hands.

The governor of Luzon did not understand why the attitude of this country, which had always attached little importance to maritime supremacy, had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn. But their base camp is thousands of miles apart, and if they want to compete with the Ming Dynasty here, it is simply an egg hitting a stone. Fortunately, they couldn't compete with the Dutch in the first place, and now there is a rule-maker, and everyone makes a fortune within the framework, and they are happy to see it.

Whether it is the change of etiquette or the opening of shipping, it has exceeded the bottom line of civil officials. Zhu Yousong even avoided the Ministry of Rites in some matters, and directly used his own people to insert a bar. They wrote one after another, and their rhetoric was fierce, because something really touched their interests.

Zhu Yousong looked at the snowflake-like recital and read it with a sneer.

"This group of thieves, the rats are short-sighted, and they only see the small profits in front of them, and they dare to forget their ancestors. Jiangnan is full of flowers, cooking oil in the fire, but it can't collect any commercial taxes, and it even wants to rely on the power of the DPRK and China to compete with the country for profit.

After all, Taizu started with Huaiyoubu clothes, and he took it for granted, and now it's time to change the tax system. ”

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, there are only two people, Zhou Shuye and Wen Tiren, who have different words. Zhou Shuye is a single person, and he followed Zhu Yousong to make a revolution, and it doesn't matter whose life he wants. Wen Tiren is different, he has his own forces behind him, this time he has made such a big move, it must have some impact, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
