Chapter 305: To Be an Official Is to Do Business (Part II)

They hadn't heard of the city of Zhancheng, but when the words came out of Yang Ming's mouth, there would definitely be no falsehood in their cognition! He said that if there are two million stones, there must be rice! He said that the matter of exporting silk had been reported to the imperial court, so it must have been reported to the imperial court!

No one doubted Yang Ming's ability!

Now the coal group has become a behemoth, in just one year, because of the popularity of coal stoves and no balls, it soon occupied almost all the states and counties of Daming, and the shareholders involved were either officials or gentry!

It is conceivable that they represent the interests of the entire group of scholars, or that they are scholars. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With their promotion and Yang Ming's golden ideas, it can be said that neither the emperor nor the cabinet will have any opposition.

Because Jiajing and the royal family occupy a large part of the coal group, and the gentry as other shareholders also represent the interests of the Shidafu group, all obstacles are no longer a problem when both are profitable.

Even now, the slogan of lifting the sea ban has been raised again!

The profits of the sea ban are not a secret, but no one can traffic goods at sea in large quantities, not even those nobles!

After all, because of the limitations of shipbuilding technology, even if an accident occurs at sea on a large ship, it is a very ordinary thing, so even if someone goes to sea without permission, although it can be exchanged for enough benefits, but this way is a small fight after all, and many people are impossible to participate in it because of their location elsewhere.

But since the coal conglomerate, none of this has been a problem.

First of all, the officials and gentry had their own shares in the coal group, and as long as the coal group made profits, they would be able to share the dividends from it, and no one would have a hard time with the silver in these days. According to the report fed back by the exploration department of the coal group, a blue and white porcelain bowl used by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty was sold for three taels of silver in Fusang, but in India it could be sold for five taels of silver, and if it was in Europe, then the currency they used in trading was not silver but gold.

The price of a tael of gold is enough to make the person who bought Wan go crazy with joy!

Since the news was spread to the capital, the capital has gone crazy! Up to now, many nobles have begun to build big ships, and even in the military, there are many generals who want to go to sea to exterminate those so-called pirates!

The entire Ming Dynasty is boiling again!

"Zile, do you want the emperor to open the sea ban? Do you know that it's Taizu's ban, I don't think it's that simple! Li Daoyuan frowned slightly, he had carefully weighed this problem just now, if it was just the trade exports of small countries around Daming, maybe it would be okay!

But the opening of the sea ban is obviously unlikely!

After all, as an emperor, especially in the . Country. The emperor, they first need to be filial piety-oriented, and for Taizu's ban on the sea to be broken, it is to overturn Taizu's decision for any emperor, which is a great rebellion, or unfilial piety!

And Jiajing just sat on the throne, and from his position, it is obviously impossible to loosen the sea ban.

However, there was one problem that he had not thought of, and that was the determination of the scholar!

The way of pastoral life has long been broken by Yang Ming's good governance, these ways to get huge wealth in a short period of time without worrying about it have penetrated into the blood of each of them, and the current officials almost disdain to suck the blood of the people to get rich as before, they prefer to become a clean official while using other ways to buy a considerable property for the family!

Of course, it can also be said that since they have experienced the way to get rich quick, they no longer consider the way to make a fortune by slowly sucking the blood of the people, which is easy to arouse public anger in the first place, which will lead to popular revolt. Second, no matter what officials were, they were all influenced by Confucianism, or at least they had wanted to be a good official who would go down in history, but they had to make compromises or changes in the general environment.

Now that there is a way to satisfy both sides, they will naturally choose the aspect that is most beneficial to them.

Therefore, although this matter is difficult for the emperor, it is very easy for those ministers.

There is a good saying, there are two sides to everything, a person's mouth is good or bad by two skins, you said that the ancestors' sea ban cannot be overturned, good! He can immediately look for words that can be overturned in the allusions, such as pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, and the ban on the sea in the previous era was a good way, but now the times are different, more than a hundred years have passed, the world has changed, and naturally the current national policy should be changed...... For example, the Ming Dynasty as a **** country, naturally has the responsibility of educating the people of the world, although those barbarians do not belong to the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty, you should accept them with a broad mind, we send them exquisite silk and porcelain and other beautiful things in the Central Plains is to help them get rid of ignorance, so as to become good citizens like us who know respect and humility and understand etiquette......

In short, in a word, no matter what obstacles there are, you can find a reasonable explanation in front of them, and the high-sounding so that you can't find a trace of refuting!

In fact, this matter is being discussed in the current court meeting!

Liu Yi looked at everyone's reactions again and said with a smile: "You don't actually have to worry about it at all!" To tell you the truth, I was actually very opposed to the ban on opening the sea, but after Lord Yang's rebuttal, I accepted this point of view, that is, as an official of the **** kingdom, we have the obligation and responsibility to let those barbarians who are far away in the bitter cold land feel the majesty and edification of my ****! Although they are not of the same origin as us, we can pass on our good traditions to them through silk, tea and even porcelain! For example, our tea, with a history of thousands of years, is as green as water, elegant and indifferent, and has a gentleman's style! Such a good thing is very suitable for their self-cultivation, and there are ......"

Yang Ming was also happy all of a sudden!

He couldn't have imagined that this Liu Yi still had such a good eloquence!

In fact, these are high-sounding slogans! If you say it's a fake big empty, that's right!

However, in the court, such a false and empty theory is very marketable, and many times why it is clear that there is no half of nutrition can be taken seriously, but those words with actual content are despised, in fact, the main reason is in a name.

As long as they have enough fame, as long as they are high-sounding, these people don't mind letting a broken porcelain bowl sell for gold.

As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way! As long as they can make money and live forever, they won't care about those savages to die? As for earning their money, as for not competing with the people for profit, that is to the people of the Ming Dynasty, do they understand the morality of a group of monkeys who have not yet fully developed?

Therefore, therefore, the court of the Ming Dynasty still needs to have a long way to go, and it is necessary to work hard to educate those barbarians!
