In the face of the diseased Ming Dynasty, Tang Yi's prescription was two words: open the sea!

The purpose of Wang Zhi and other pirate leaders is to force the Ming Dynasty to open the sea to trade, as long as the sea is opened, the root cause of the Japanese will be eliminated, and in time, the southeast can return to peace.

The opening of the sea will bring a large inflow of silver, alleviate the deflationary dilemma, and when the currency becomes more abundant and cheaper, it will stimulate the investment impulse of large merchants. Prosperous commerce and trade, on the contrary, can bring a large amount of tax revenue, and with money, you can organize the army and run the army.

The Ming and the Mongols fought for one or two hundred years, and experience proved that the Mongols were not invincible opponents, the key was to have money, the cost of a cavalry was three times that of the infantry, and the elite cavalry had to be cultivated from an early age, and it was even more costly. However, once the training is successful, it is like a professional athlete against an amateur athlete, and it can easily torture the nation on horseback, which has been proven by the history of the Han and Tang dynasties.

What's more, there are now sharper firearms, which are enough to restrain cavalry.

In fact, for the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as they don't have problems, the surrounding barbarians basically have no chance.

Not only is the benefit of opening the sea huge, but from all aspects, compared with any whip law or spreading into the acre, it has the least impact on vested interest groups.

Maritime trade is about strength, small households can only drink some soup and water at most, and the fattest piece is still swallowed by large households.

After thinking about it, no matter how you look at it, opening the sea is the best choice, even the only choice.

It's just that to his surprise, Jiajing is obviously not interested in this proposal, and he is quite unimpressed. This is like a person who has been hungry for three days, with a big meal in front of him, but he doesn't eat it, Tang Yi can't figure it out.

In the final analysis, Tang Yi is a traverser after all. His thinking mode is very different from that of orthodox Mingren, for example, Tang Yi firmly believes that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if he catches a mouse, he is a good cat! The Ming people are more old-fashioned, they think that if they want to catch mice, they must use white cats, even if black cats catch rats, it is a side way. It can't last long.

If it weren't for the fact that the finances were unsustainable, Jiajing would not have been patient to listen to Tang Yi's arguments. No matter how tempting he said, Jiajing still hesitated.

"Tang Yi, do you know that the sea ban is the ancestral precept of our dynasty, and it is an unchangeable ancestral golden rule?"

Jiajing's tone became stern again, as Emperor Jiajing, who regarded Zhu Yuanzhang's words and deeds as a guideline everywhere, he was 10,000 unwilling to challenge the ancestral teachings, not to mention that he did it to abolish the City Division. If the sea is opened, won't it be a slap in the mouth!

Hearing Jiajing's words, Tang Yi's heart moved, he couldn't help but sigh, he still underestimated the stubbornness and extremism of the Ming people, and his ideology really couldn't be changed for a while.

But he has already laid the groundwork so much, if he doesn't capture the mountain of Jiajing, wouldn't his previous achievements be wasted.

Tang Yi was ruthless. It's a matter of success or failure. "Your Majesty, the minister has been studying since he was studying. My father often praised him, saying that he made great progress and that his children could be taught. Mr. Jing Chuan, the master of the minister, repeatedly blamed, saying that the minister did not even understand the skin, and it was unbearable. Although the words of the father and the master are different, they both have a loving heart for the ministers. The elders teach the juniors. There is a gentle wind and drizzle, and there are fierce words, but the heart of Jackie Chan is unchanged. From the beginning to the end of ordinary people, even the Buddhists have vajra angry eyes and bodhisattvas with low eyebrows. The minister thought that Taizu left the ancestral teachings, and he did it. It is for the Ming Dynasty to be able to govern the country for future generations, and for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. As for opening the sea and banning the sea, it is just a means, Taizu thought that the forbidden sea could achieve the goal better, and now, it seems that it is more beneficial to open the sea, so why should Your Majesty hesitate! ”

These words made Zhu Houxi's heart bloom, and his eyes lit up.

The so-called means are like wearing silk clothes or cotton clothes, depending on your preference, as long as you wear warm and not cold.

The ancestral teachings left by Comrade Lao Zhu are for the good of his children and grandchildren, and he will never make trouble for his children and grandchildren, right?

Following Tang Yi's train of thought, not only the sea ban, but also many other ancestral teachings, as long as Jiajing wanted to, they could be used as an excuse to quietly change them.

Jiajing even thought that if this set of arguments had appeared thirty years earlier, perhaps the Great Rites Debate would not have lasted so long. Thinking about it not long ago, I watched Tang Yi's performance and said that he had the talent to be a savior. At that time, it was just a joke, but after this play, Jiajing's favor towards Tang Yi skyrocketed.

This kid is not like those elm pimples who read books and read to death, nor is he like a villain who is incorruptible and shameless, greedy and shameless, and according to Huang Jin and Lu Bing's recitals, Tang Yi's character and ethics are not bad, plus he has insight and methods, he is indeed a material that can be made.

When he was in a good mood, his eyes when he looked at Tang Yi also changed, and Jiajing suddenly discovered that this kid had a good appearance, although he had not yet grown up, but he was tall and sturdy, with a fair and handsome face, a high nose bridge, and full of anger.

It's just that he is Xie Yuan who should be tested by Tianxiang, if he can really solve the financial crisis and let himself cultivate with peace of mind, even if he is promoted, what if he is rewarded with three yuan and the first?

Tang Yi didn't know what Jiajing was thinking, so he could only kneel honestly and wait for the fall.

Jiajing walked a few laps on the ground and came to Tang Yi's face, and his slender hand pressed on Tang Yi's shoulder.

"The sea is very important, I still have to ask other people's opinions, you go back to study hard first, and review the scriptures. You must know that the protégé of the Son of Heaven is not so easy to be! ”

Tang Yi didn't have any special feelings, but was a little lost, performing hard by himself, kneeling around, wasting how many brain cells and dignity. As a result, I only got a few words of praise, no matter what it takes to give some dry goods, people say that Emperor Jiajing is mean and unkind, and it seems that he is honest and does not deceive me.

He was aggrieved, but Huang Jin, Yuan Heng and others saw it in their eyes, and their eyes fell out.

My God, when did Jiajing care so much about his courtiers, and how could the four words of the protégé of the Son of Heaven be easily said, in their ears, it was equivalent to giving the champion directly to Tang Yi.

They have been serving Jiajing for decades, but they have not received such a clear promise from the emperor, and they have let a hairy boy take the lead. Yuan Heng's stomach was gloomy, and his eagle-like eyes kept sweeping over Tang Yi.

As for Huang Jinhuang Fat Man, it was a dance of eyebrows, Tang Yi was recommended by him, Tang Yi was deeply appreciated by Jiajing, and by the way, he could also ascend to heaven.

Huang Jin knew Tang Yi's methods, and with the Holy Dependent, no one knew what he could do.

With a full stomach full of emotion, Huang Jin sent Tang Yi out of the palace gate. Turning around, Jiajing called him over, Huang Jin was most familiar with the situation in the southeast, Jiajing asked until the middle of the night, and emptied the contents of Huang Jin's stomach.

Jiajing was still unsatisfied, so he simply didn't sleep, and found Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Li Mo. I discussed with them about opening the sea, and we discussed it for three days.

As the saying goes, the heavenly family is selfless, Jiajing's abnormal behavior soon spread throughout the court, when he heard that His Majesty was going to open the sea, the court immediately boiled the pot, and the street talked about it, without stopping for a moment.

Our noble idler, Cao Dazhang, ran to Tang Yi's house again, and gave a thumbs up as soon as they met.

"It's still very good, do you know that the government and the opposition are discussing opening the sea, and before they are admitted to the Jinshi, they are famous all over the world, so how can we live who have been mixed in the Hanlin Academy for many years and have achieved nothing!"

He looked up to the sky and sighed, Wang Shimao picked up a dumpling and stuffed it in Cao Dazhang's mouth.

"How else can you live? Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Comparing with demons can only prove that you are not happy in life! "The second prince of the king obviously accepted his fate.

In the past few days, Wang Shizhen also came, brothers met, Wang Shimao took his article to his eldest brother and asked for guidance, Wang Shizhen glanced at it, threw it aside, and said: "From today onwards, Jingmei doesn't need to read." ”

"Oh?" Wang Shimao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother saying that the younger brother's eight-strand article has been perfected?" ”

Wang Shizhen sneered, "I mean that if you work hard, you will be ninety, if you don't work hard, you can also have a hundred, the difference between the top and the bottom will not be too much, what are you doing with wasting your spirit?" ”

After saying that, the alliance leader left in style, and after a while, a miserable howl came from the study.

"Wang Yuanmei, you wait, if you don't get into the second grade, I, I, I ......" For a long time, Wang Shimao was not willing to swear anything, so he simply fell asleep and fell asleep.

came out of the second brother's room and went to Tang Yi's room, it happened that Cao Zichao was also there, Wang Shizhen read Cao Zichao's article first, and only said, "It's much better than Jingmei." ”

When he picked up Tang Yi's article, Wang Shizhen looked at it twice and threw it aside, and said dejectedly: "Cousin Xingzhi, with your eight-strand essay, you can't get the champion, and you are also a list of eyes and tanhua, but what I hate the most is this kind of stable article." ”

"Hehehe, fortunately, the eldest cousin is not the examiner." Tang Yi said with a smile: "Bagu Wen is a stepping stone for me, cousin should take a look at Brother Wen." ”

Wang Shizhen nodded, brought Xu Wei over, read Xu Wei's article, only half of it, and said sharply: "Such crazy words are simply a disaster for the country and the people!" ”

Xu Wei was a vegetarian, and immediately sneered at each other and scolded: "Sour and rotten Confucian, how can you understand my high theory." ”

"High theory? Look at it, Jinke will inevitably fall off the list. ”

"Hahaha, you're jealous."

……

These two of you said a word, I said a word, and scolded each other directly, and the more they talked, the more fancy they became, and Tang Yi and Cao Zichao were stunned and fled.

It turns out that there has been a contradiction between Xu Wei and Wang Shizhen, both of them are famous talents in the world, Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong and other science and scholars formed a poetry society, and were respected as the "Later Seven Sons", and among these seven people, there is an outlier, that is, the cloth poet Xie Zhen, this person has a unique view of poetry, at first Wang Shizhen admired Xie Zhen very much, but later the literati made a mistake of being light, he pulled Li Panlong and others, drove Xie Zhen out of the poetry society, and removed him from the seven sons.

Xu Wei is a guy who naturally likes to fight unevenly, this time he came from Jiangnan, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he spread his articles criticizing Wang Shizhen everywhere. directly led to the fact that as soon as they met, it was like a cockfight pinched.

"I said yes, why don't you persuade them?" Wang Shimao said worriedly.

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not, if I speak now, the two of them promised to turn the muzzle of the gun and come to scold me." O literati, this is the virtue! (To be continued.) )
