Chapter 8 Tongue wars the ministers, Dengzhou opens the port

The three-day suspension of the court had passed, but it was said that Zhu Jian wanted to open a 'supervision hall' in Dengzhou, but after sending Sun Chuanting away, he gathered the cabinet lords and ministers to listen to their opinions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this can only be heard, because the opening of Dengzhou port is a matter of great importance to Zhu Jian, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of social safety.

"What? Your Majesty wants to set up a Governor's Hall in Dengzhou?! ”

When Zhu Jian told everyone what he thought, Qian Longxi jumped out, and there was some eagerness between his words.

At this moment, Li Biao, Liu Hongxun and others were also a little dignified.

It's just that he is not as good as Qian Longxi, but collectively chooses to be silent.

Seeing this, Zhu Jian's face was also a little ugly, since he returned to the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the cabinet ministers' deliberations, it was the first time that he had been silent like this.

As for Zhu Jian, he is not afraid of being opposed to him, but he is afraid of such silence, but it makes people panic.

"Zhiwen, but why not?"

In the face of the emperor's words, Qian Longxi was the way.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how the state will pay tribute once Dengzhou opens a port? If you want to collect taxes, wouldn't it be an insult to the prestige of the empire, not to mention that although the Japanese have been pacified for some years, but Dengzhou is too close to the Japanese people, if it is normal, once the port is established, the commercial and trade activities are frequent, which leads to a great prosperity of trade, once the Japanese people are red, then it is not another unwarranted disaster! ”

As far as the Ming Empire is concerned, it is almost the entire history of coastal defense throughout the empire, which is an unbearable period of time, although since the Longqing switch and the Japanese shogunate's policy of locking the country, the Japanese danger has gradually decreased, but it is still a huge hidden danger.

It's just that what Qian Longxi said, but it is only a part, to say that the Japanese are the hidden danger of the maritime trade, but it is better to say that the Europeans who have risen in the sea are the most fatal injuries.

And when Qian Longxi mentioned the Japanese Invaders, Zhu Jian took advantage of the situation to associate Europe with Europe, which was busy opening up new routes.

It's just that Zhu Jian's determination to open Dengzhou Port has been made, and he has changed it because of some small things.

What's more, Zhu Jian knew in his heart that if the empire was to develop, the maritime trade would inevitably be unavoidable, so sooner or later there would be a conflict of interest with those Europeans, and escape was not the way, only the establishment of a strong navy was the top priority.

The establishment of the Dengzhou Naval Division is not only to deal with Houjin, but also the first step in the construction of Zhu Jian's new navy.

Only by taking this step can there be hope!

So for Zhu Jian, it is impossible for him to give up.

"Zhiwen, you said that Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu had a sea ban in their later years, and in the Longqing period, Emperor Muzong opened the sea ban, Zhiwen should know the pros and cons between the two, it is better to be sparse, as for the prestige of the Celestial Empire, what is the use of it, it is just that we are just resting on our laurels!"

"I think that to say that the prestige of the Celestial Empire depends on the so-called gift is really too vain, according to me, the gift is only an excellent opportunity for those vassal countries to make money, otherwise, there will never be any 'battle for tribute' during the Jiajing period of the previous dynasty, in the land of my dignified empire, it is not a joke that the small countries of Japan are fighting back and forth! What's more, today's empire has long been stormy, and what else is said about the great power of the Celestial Empire, the country is poor, and the people are weak, how can it be called a big country! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jian was a little impassioned.

And Zhu Jian's next sentence made the ministers unconsciously shocked!

"I think that the so-called great powers of the Celestial Empire, either with hard fists, are not self-angry, and can be blessed all over the world! Or, or the fists are harder, looting in all directions, making people smell different! It's just that I don't like to kill very much, but I'm willing to choose the former. ”

And when Zhu Jian said that.

"Why do you think so?"

The crowd was no longer frowning, but their blood was boiling.

The so-called listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!

And here, it was listening to the king's words, in a trance, generous, talking and laughing, laughing at the wind and clouds, and the trees flew into ashes and annihilated!

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, but the ministers are confused!"

After a while, Li Biao got up and took the lead.

As the minister of the head of the cabinet, since the entry of Jin into the customs after the fight, although the emperor's actions sometimes seem a little absurd, Li Biao can feel that everything is to save this empire in danger!

And today, when the emperor said that he wanted to set up a port in Dengzhou, Li Biao also felt absurd at first, so he chose to be silent, but the emperor's generosity, Li Biao's heart once upon a time once upon a time seemed to be ignited.

Oh, yes! The prestige of the great powers of the Celestial Empire, that's just a fig leaf, the emperor is right, the fists are not hard, everything is just a joke, a big joke!

What's more, as early as after the war with Houjin, Zhu Jian had already become a saint in the hearts of these ministers.

"Tomorrow morning, I will discuss it in front of the public, and then announce it to the world!"

However, it was said that when Zhu Jian was communicating with the ministers, the Beijing master at this time was in the Qian Mansion.

Qian Qianyi was pacing, with some eagerness in his expression.

At this moment, outside the door, the old butler came in a hurry.

"What? It's done. ”

Seeing the arrival of the housekeeper, Qian Qianyi hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"My lord, when someone comes, just wait in the front hall!"

"Oh, come here!"

After a while, I saw a man in white floating in, followed by a strong sweater.

"Shen Gongzi, the old man is polite here, please take a seat!"

Seeing the arrival of the white-clothed man, Qian Qianyi hurriedly stepped forward.

"Uncle Qian is polite, my father asked my little nephew to say hello to my uncle on behalf of his old man, by the way, Heisan, take the jade box!"

In the face of Qian Qianyi's words, he saw that the man in white also stepped forward to return the salute, and then called someone to take a jade box over, looking at the texture, this jade box was made of nephrite jade from the Western Regions, which should be precious and tight.

And when the white-clothed man opened the jade box, what appeared inside was a small and delicate snuff box wrapped in yellow cloth and satin.

"Uncle, this snuff bottle is a jadeite produced in Myanmar, and it is made by Fanren, and it should be a good product! But it was a little care that my father entrusted my little nephew to give to my uncle! ”

Seeing this exquisite snuffbox, Qian Qianyi was a little happy.

It is said that this snuff bottle was brought to China by Westerners in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it was only confined to Guangdong at the beginning, but it was a rare commodity for the rest of the empire.

What's more, the upper-level officials of the empire are extravagant, and they are even more happy to put down Western gadgets, as the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi is naturally no exception.

"Shen Gongzi, polite, polite, how dare Qian accept such a valuable thing!"

Although there are thousands of excuses in his mouth, the snuff bottle has been playing in Qian Qianyi's hands for a long time at this moment.

Seeing this, the man in white smiled and said.

"Uncle is serious, before leaving, my father talked to my little nephew about the friendship with my uncle, how can such a gadget be compared with such a friendship, and please don't excuse my uncle."

said that the two of them were cold for a while.

The man in white is the way.

"Uncle, do you know what kind of donation bureau the imperial court sent to Jiangnan to collect taxes like rich merchants?"

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi nodded with a straight face.

"Well, I know that the current emperor is the right attendant of the prime minister with Qian, but he just does it."

"That uncle knows who the emperor sent to Jiangnan?"

"Hong Chengchou."

"Yes, uncle, do you know how much trouble this Hong Chengchou has made in Jiangnan?"

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi frowned a little, but after half a sound, it was the Tao.

"This correspondence is all about this matter, Qian and your father are connected by the same root, virtuous nephew, don't hide anything if you have something to say!"
