Chapter 339: Open Sea Ban

Immediately a flush flashed across his face, the color of excitement.....

"Hahaha!" Jiajing laughed wildly and said, "Retreat!" .....”

In fact, when Yang Ming was still on the road, those in the capital who should have known the news of Yang Ming's entry into Beijing had already known, and those who didn't know naturally didn't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Jiajing retreated from the court, the princes of the court who dispersed also went down to the court in twos and threes.

"Yang Gong, Yang Ming has arrived in the capital, what do you think?" Mao Ji looked at Yang Yanhe as he walked.

"He's thankful this time!" Yang Yanhe smiled, looked at Jiang Mian who came from behind, and then said lightly: "But do you believe such a reason?" Anyway, the old man doesn't believe it! If it's just a thank you can wait for a while, why rush? There are also hundreds of carts of things, the old man doesn't look so simple! ”

"Yes! I don't think it's easy! According to Yang Ming's temperament, it is impossible to bring something worthless, not to mention that if there is no article in Tianjinwei, I am afraid that I can't afford to pay the freight of the Guangdong sailor! Jiang Mian was thoughtful.

"These things are not something we have to worry about, since Yang Ming has come to the capital, the contents of the box will naturally be revealed, not to mention that you have not found it, Your Majesty is happy to speak in the early court, presumably the things inside will not be simple!" Mao Ji thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the two of you have ever thought about one thing!" ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Yanhe and Jiang Mian asked at the same time.

"Sea Ban!" Mao Ji slowly spit out a few words.

However, when he spit out these words, both of them couldn't help but be stunned.

In fact, this word has been discussed in the court more than once, but each time it ends hastily, there is one thing in it that is the key, and that is interests.

It is impossible to impress the princes of the court with the slightest interest, and naturally it is impossible to impress Jiajing.

After all, the sea ban is the ancestral system of Taizu!

If you want to open the sea ban, you must have considerable interests, so although there is a lot of discussion, it has no effect at all.

......

The Imperial Study.

Jiajing invited Empress Dowager Jiang to sit aside.

"Your Majesty, Shu Guang is waiting for Yang Ming to meet you!" Huang Jin stood in front of the two of them with a smile, and he glanced at the notebook just now, just... This glance made him inexplicably excited until now.

"Announce him in!" Jiajing nodded, and after instructing Huang Jinhou, he said to Empress Dowager Jiang: "Queen Mother, Yang Ming is coming soon, and I have brought you a lot of good things!" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang sighed, she didn't care about the gifts, she was a little uneasy when she thought of Princess Yongchun, the princess of a dignified country actually married a marquis as a flat wife, which undoubtedly damaged the royal face to some extent.

But now that the wood has been completed and the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, she has no choice, as long as she answers: "Hongxiu's girl didn't come?" ”

"Queen Mother, how could Hongxiu come now? Don't forget that it's the first month of the year, there are still thousands of miles to go between the two places, and you must not allow him to go to Beijing as a woman, but since Yang Ming is here, you should take a look, this person is not an ordinary courtier, and now it is also our family, don't you give him a look if you bring it back! "Empress Dowager Jiang was born a little cold, although she later became the princess of Xingxian and now she is the queen mother, but the temperament of an ordinary woman in her bones has not changed in the slightest, Jiajing is afraid that she will come up with something moth, so she will say hello first.

Not long after, Yang Ming was led by two eunuchs to the imperial study.

"Chen Yang Ming has seen the emperor and the queen mother!" As soon as Yang Ming entered the imperial study, he hurried to see it.

However, Jiajing's face showed a bit of suspicion.

Not because Yang Ming is disrespectful, but.... This may seem wrong.

It stands to reason that Yang Ming is right to call him the emperor, but he is called the Empress Dowager Jiang.... It seems that it should be called the queen mother! Although the queen mother and the queen mother are just one word apart, the meanings of the two are different, one is estranged, and the other is close but like a world of difference.

Jiajing frowned, he was a little unhappy, but he still said to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, now that you marry Hongxiu, it is also a matter of my family, there are only you, me and the queen mother here, you are at will, you don't need to do that in the court!" ”

As an emperor, this is already very clear.

This is to make Yang Ming not seem so angry, some things can be bad with a love word, but it is undoubtedly a big help when used well.

Especially for a talent like Yang Ming, as long as he is willing to stand on the side of the royal family, Jiajing is even sure that he will not be able to control the entire court in three years.

"Your Majesty! The reason why the minister was called like this first naturally has a reason for the minister! Yang Ming said: "The so-called public first and then private, Weichen thanks to the emperor's grace, naturally the first to report on the work first!" ”

"Isn't that a palace that needs to be avoided?" Empress Dowager Jiang was a little happy when she saw Yang Ming's handsome appearance, but Yang Ming's words undoubtedly offended her a little, although it was public and then private, but they all said that they were a family, and he was so clear, which undoubtedly made her feel that Yang Ming was a little inappropriate.

"It doesn't have to be!" Jiajing smiled and said to the Empress Dowager Jiang: "Although it is a state affair, it is okay for the Queen Mother to listen to it, and by the way, you can also learn about Yang Ming's situation in Guangdong, and Hongxiu will naturally go at that time!" ”

Hearing Jiajing's words, Empress Dowager Jiang, who originally wanted to avoid it, stopped and sat on the chair, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study all withdrew, leaving only Huang Jin to serve on the side.

"Your Majesty, this is the minister's chapter!" Yang Ming handed this chapter to Huang Jin on the side with both hands.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Jin took the chapter, then bowed down and handed it to Jiajing.

Picking up this chapter, Jiajing flipped through it, but the more he flipped it, the faster it became, and he flipped through it in just a few breaths, only to see that his face was a little suspicious, a little surprised, and more puzzled, and asked Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, why is this chapter of yours so different from the one presented in the morning?" ”

"The emperor's early dynasty was only the national tax of Huizhou in the past few months, although it was only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, but what you are holding in your hand now is different!" Yang Ming slowly explained: "The above account is divided into two parts, one part is the dividend of a person named Huang Yi after removing the national tax, in the past few months, Huizhou has a total income of 2.23 million taels of silver after selling salt, so there are still 2 million and 7,000 taels after removing the national tax of 10 draws, according to the 1 million and 3,500 taels of silver in this is being changed to this person called Huang Yi, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”

"A million taels of silver?" Empress Dowager Jiang exclaimed.

Jiajing on the side was quite calm, after all, there was a lot of silver in the inner treasury now, and he could still take out one million taels of silver, but Empress Dowager Jiang was different, how could he have seen so much silver? Even when he was in charge of the Xingxian Palace, the mobile silver in his hand was only tens of thousands of taels, and now although he is the queen mother, he is actually less, and most of the silver in her hands is only a few thousand taels, and these thousands of taels have to be put on the palace maid and eunuch, and the rest is just tribute.

Although the tribute is valuable, but it can't be exchanged for money, she has a brother in the queen mother's family, although she was also a marquis because she became a relative of the emperor, but compared to the old nobles in the capital, she is undoubtedly a poor ghost.

And it's not easy to live in Beijing, other people's families are rich, how can they look at that little bit of accumulation after dozens or hundreds of years?

Therefore, the old aristocrats generally use Yulu as pocket money, but our uncle Yongxing Hou Weiji took Yulu and had to support his family and take some money out to prostitute. Bet! It is said that this capital is a world of flowers, and he is a good-looking person, although he is a marquis, it is actually like that.

Not to mention borrowing debts everywhere, many times the practice routine in the government is released, so it is not easy to save some silver, and the Empress Dowager Jiang has to help her brother, and this silver is naturally stretched!

And the Huang Yi that Yang Ming said in his mouth, she naturally understands that she is talking about Jiajing, the so-called mother and son family, since Jiajing is rich, she, the queen mother, will naturally be rich.

However, at this time, she looked at Yang Ming differently, where did the person who could bring millions of taels of silver to Jiajing in just a few months have there been in the entire Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, the disgust that had just arisen disappeared in the clamor of a million taels of silver.

"And what about this second account?" Jiajing was very satisfied, he saw the first amount of silver very clearly, fifty percent of the money Yang Ming definitely put the royal family first, don't look at only half, but the other half doesn't know how many people share, and Yang Ming has to use the money to feed a group of people, so he is very satisfied.

"Bump!"

Yang Ming suddenly knelt down again, and asked Jiajing for guilt: "Minister Yang Ming violated the law of the ancestors and opened the sea without permission, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

Although he said this, before Jiajing could speak, Yang Ming continued: "The second account is the silver money obtained by Weichen from selling Sinan's tiles through the sea to the Dao Wa Kingdom, a total of twenty sea ships were shipped, and one of the sailors was partial, and a total of 4.62 million taels of silver were exchanged!" These silver ministers did not dare to deal with it privately, so all the 4.62 million taels of silver were escorted back to Beijing, and now they are being placed outside the Donghua Gate! ”

"Four million two hundred and sixty two thousand taels of silver......"

Rao is Jiajing had already read the accounts, but he was still a little dizzy by the series of figures reported by Yang Ming.

And the Empress Dowager Jiang on the side was even more shocked and speechless.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, even now, it is only a tax of three or four million taels of silver a year, and Yang Ming only dispatched twenty ships, as for those tiles, they have long been ignored.

It's just some rotten porcelain pieces, and now they are sold everywhere in the capital, and a piece is only about 20 yuan, even if 20 ships are full, how much silver can be used? Compared to the four million and six hundred thousand taels of silver, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"The minister implores the emperor to surrender!" Yang Ming asked again.

"This! Jiajing can't pay attention to it, if you want to say that Yang Ming is not the only one who violates the ban, even many royal families are also doing maritime trade business, and there are even more other gentry, but those people are all petty fights, and compared with Yang Ming's handwriting, it is naturally trivial, but Yang Ming made money but did not swallow it privately, but handed over the money to his own hands intact, which is not easy to convict.

"Get up!" After thinking about it, Jiajing looked at Yang Ming and said word by word: "What do you want to say to me?" Since you have said that you are not an outsider, you don't need to say it around the corner! ”

Jiajing could see that although Yang Ming said that he was talking about his crime, he didn't mean to admit his guilt at all in his words, on the contrary, he seemed to want to take this so-called crime to the book!

Hearing Jiajing's words, Yang Ming slowly stood up, bowed to Jiajing, and said: "What the minister wants to say is that although the sea ban has not been opened, it has actually existed in name only, the so-called sea ban, in fact, the ban is just ordinary civilians, but as long as the gentry with a little strength have a way to be in the coastal area, including Guangdong, Fujian and other places, who does not have two sea ships?" And since it is a sea ship, does the emperor think that they are just doing it to see? Or fishing? According to the minister's estimates, every year due to shipping, at least millions of taels of silver are lost in the national treasury, which is only a part of the national tax, in addition to the sea ban, the surrounding area is also extremely unstable!

For example, pirates or pirates! In fact, it is just some merchants from many countries, they can't get the goods they want to buy, and they want to get something back, so they give birth to such a profession! Of course, there are people who really can't survive, and that's because the local output is really very small, and they can't even survive, so they have to take risks! Therefore, contact with the sea ban can not only bring huge benefits to the dynasty, but also eliminate the Japanese and pirates, which is naturally an excellent thing for our Ming Dynasty, although it violates the ancestral system, but it is not impossible, please think twice! ”

"Yang Ming, you are bold!" Jiajing was a little angry, but his heart was happy, since Yang Ming dared to bring more than four million taels of silver into Beijing, he must have been completely sure, what he had to do now was to need all the ministers of the court and the central government to give him a ladder to step down.

"The guilty minister asks the emperor to surrender!" Yang Ming also knew Jiajing's thoughts, and he was more respectful at the moment.

Jiajing immediately shouted: "Huang Jin, imprison Yang Ming in Dali Temple, and you can pass on the decree!" ”

The cooperation between the two is seamless, and the Empress Dowager Jiang was scared, obviously a family, why did she suddenly change her face? Take people back.....

Jiajing sent Empress Dowager Jiang back to the West Palace with a pale face, and immediately went to the Jinluan Palace again.

Although his face was pale, his heart was beautiful, this time, hehe.....

The bell of Donghua Gate rang.

The officials entered the palace one after another.

In fact, they are all people with eyes, since Yang Ming has entered Beijing, they naturally know that something big has happened, so they are all waiting outside, and sure enough, after waiting for more than half an hour, Jiajing really rang the bell bell, this is to start the court again.

It's a bit out of the ordinary, but no one thinks it's wrong......
