Chapter 63: Zhu Houzhao's thoughts

After cleaning up his mood, Zhu Houzhao entered the sage mode. Anyway, most men are like this, and there are not many of them who have been brought into the sainthood.

He walked out of the palace gate and stood on the steps of the white jade. From a distance, the night is as cold as water.

In the nine heavens, I don't know whether it is the stars or the light points of fireflies are flickering, which is fascinating. It was in this environment that Zhu Houzhao began his first thought after returning.

The island country of Fusang has become the silver treasury of the Ming Dynasty, even though there are still some remnants of the enemy, but he believes that as long as there are those poor and frightened border soldiers, the heads of some recalcitrant people will eventually be replaced by them for five taels of big ingots in their arms.

Then there is the south, the sea area is Jingqing, many Ming merchant ships sail to the unknown place like a dragon going to sea, every day there will be new discoveries, and every big ship that returns to Shenzhen port is full of spices, gold and silver.

With their efforts, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is thriving. Landlords in the south have begun to sell off their land. Because they found that the world on the sea was much wider and had a lot of wealth.

The shipbuilding industry, which was monopolized by the imperial court, made them not even qualified to enter Baoshan. If they want to go to sea, they can only exchange the land for a three-masted ship, and they can only use the land to go to the Yamen to buy the ship number and operation qualification certificate.

The first batch of landlords who went to the sea had already made a lot of money, which made other conservative landlords forced by the younger generation of their families to sell a large amount of land in exchange for the qualification to go to the sea to do business.

Of course, not everyone is on the white path. But anyone who dares to go the underworld, and the private shipbuilders without qualification certification are all beaten into scum by the ships and guns of the Ming Navy patrolling everywhere. The family's property was also confiscated by the government. So much so that such existence is basically extinct.

The land donated by the landlords was sold at a low price by the government to tenants who had lost their land for dozens or hundreds of years. And promised to harvest only 30% of the land every year. As a result, on the boundaries of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the situation of all the people in the world cultivating the land and the people of the world has basically been realized.

All of a sudden, the court's support rose sharply, and the homeless bandits basically disappeared.

And after the North saw the great and sudden change of wealth in the South, everywhere there was an outlet to the sea, there were rich people. The entrance of the customs yamen is also overcrowded every day.

The elders of the imperial court watched in amazement at the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years, and the wealth of the imperial court had exceeded their imagination. The annual dedication that is brought home is heavy, and the creaking sound of pressing on the carriage makes them have an itchy excitement in their bones!

In this situation, the authority of His Majesty Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Emperor is increasing day by day, not to mention the military, there is the prestige of the mighty general Zhu Shou, and the political changes have also made this group of old guys who hold their ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang gnaw on the old man and completely shut their mouths.

After all, the so-called officials are nothing more than two kinds of people, one is to be an official for thousands of miles just for money, but the annual money and rewards are enough to satisfy part of the greedy people, so they are very satisfied.

The second is that the Qi family governs the country and equalizes the world, not to mention, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, or even pushed up for a thousand years, the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties did not have such a beautiful scene of wealth and peace. Therefore, they must have closed their mouths with few teeth in good interest.

So in the current situation, what Zhu Houzhao wants to do is to extricate himself, except for grasping the general direction, and delegating power if he can. After all, an emperor who is too diligent cannot be a good husband and father!
