Yu Jin has no opinion, Longqing has no opinion, and Xu Jie naturally has no opinion, and the establishment of a model point for the opening of the sea ban is set in Fujian.

"Your Majesty, I don't know when Weichen will leave?" Yu Jin asked.

Longqing: "This"

Xu Jie took over the conversation: "Strike iron while the iron, naturally the sooner the better, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, it is said that the two reunions of the people and the moon, Yu Fucheng might as well spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home with peace of mind, the official thought, at that time, the official document of the ministry should also be discussed." ”

"Yes, yes," Long Qing also echoed: "Old Mrs. Yu finally came from her hometown to reunite with Aiqing, and Aiqing is going to Fujian again so soon, I am also ashamed." ”

Regarding the situation of Yu Jin's family, Longqing also knows, Yu Jin's mother and sister went to the capital to reunite, how long has it been, and Yu Jin is going to Fujian again, which is really a bit unkind.

"Your Majesty."

After Yu Jin finished speaking, he immediately saluted Xu Jie: "The lower officials are only shallow in learning, and they don't have much knowledge. ”

Any national policy, there are advantages and disadvantages, it is beneficial to some people, and it will also make some people resist, if it is so easy to solve, there is no need to borrow the name of the edict, and Xu Jie will do his best.

After spending so much thought, the progress of the sea ban is still slow.

In that place in Fujian, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, there is no one to ask for people, there is no money to ask for money, if you want to do this well, you naturally can't miss Xu Jie, you know, he has been planning for this for a long time, Yu Jin also believes that Xu Jie is also willing to help, because the ban on opening the sea is his one to implement.

This is in the interest of both parties.

If the implementation does not go well, Xu Jie's previous efforts will be in vain.

"As long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, this official will definitely do his best to share the worries of Yu Mansion." Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Ah~"

As he spoke, Long Qing let out a long yawn and finished yawning. Gu stood up: "I'm a little tired, two Aiqing, you can talk slowly, I will go and rest first." ”

In later generations, there were some scumbags who had a headache as soon as they picked up their homework, and they could be hypnotized by listening to foreign languages. If you put these guidelines on Longqing, then he is a political scumbag, as soon as he hears about government affairs, his head swells, and he thinks that he made an appointment with a talented person who has just entered the palace to visit the garden today, and he immediately made an excuse to escape.

Playing with beautiful women is much more fun than talking about these nerve-wracking political affairs.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Yu Jin and Xu Jie could only salute him.

After getting along for a long time, I also know the temper of this uncle.

That's fine, the more Lazy Long Qing is. The greater the power of the two, in other words, this is better than not knowing how to pretend to command chaotically, which can be regarded as self-knowledge.

When Long Qing was about to leave the room, he suddenly stopped his steps, turned his head and said to Yu Jin: "Yu Aiqing, after talking about business, let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." Well, the emperor heard that you entered the palace. I said I wanted to play with you. ”

Although Long Qing puts most of his mind on women, he is still very good to his son.

"Minister, obey the order."

After confessing, Long Qing left happily.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the prince to be so good to Yu Fucheng." Xu Jie, who was on the side, said with a smile.

Yu Jin smiled bitterly and said a little helplessly: "The prince is young after all. It's not qualitative yet, it's human nature to be fun, like the ability of the lower officials, that is, to coax children, unlike Lord Shoufu. That is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, irreplaceable. ”

The word "irreplaceable" is used well, and Yu Jin's respect also makes Xu Jie very satisfied, Wen Yan touched his beautiful beard, and said with a smile: "Yu Mansion is both wise and brave, bold and responsible, and is the leader of the younger generation, and the old man is still very optimistic about you." ”

I didn't expect that in the hearts of a generation of "famous ministers", Yu Jin had such a high evaluation, Yu Jin had a feeling of flattery, and hurriedly said modestly when he heard this: "Don't dare, I want more support from adults." ”

Xu Jie gently put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Yu Fucheng, you and I are courtiers and appreciate each other, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, can Yu Mansion have a table?"

"Yes, the lower official is far away."

"Siyuan? Think more, long-term? Yes, that's a good word. Xu Jie pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then the old man will call you to think far." ”

This word was given by Zhao Jin when he entered Beijing, Yu Jin has rarely used it, and when he heard Xu Jie's question, he said it, and when he heard Xu Jie's words, Yu Jin immediately responded: "This is the honor of being a late life." ”

In the officialdom, those who are not familiar with each other will call each other the official name or place of origin, and those who are well connected will call the table word, Xu Jie took the initiative to ask Yu Jin's table word, which is a positive signal.

Yu Jin knew that behind Xu Jie, there was a huge interest group, and this interest group was committed to foreign trade, so Xu Jie spared no effort in opening the sea ban, and now Yu Jin is a special envoy to promote the sea ban, so Xu Jie will pretend to be a color to himself.

Long Qing is just lazy, not stupid, he handed over the matter of opening a pilot for overseas trade to himself, and he didn't want Xu Jie's team to dominate.

It's all human spirits.

"Siyuan, tell me what you think about the pilot."

Yu Jin knew that this was an exam question given to himself by Xu Jie, and how much he valued himself, or how much help he could get from Xu Jie, depended on whether he answered well or not.

After organizing his thoughts a little, Yu Jin said: "The opening of the sea ban is not simply to liberalize trade, nor is it simply to increase the treasury, but to find a balance between national interests and personal interests. ”

"Go on." Seeing Yu Jin stop, Xu Jie continued.

"The world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, the business line is thousands of miles, but also for a profit, for the treasury to increase income at the same time, but also to ensure the interests of businessmen, to achieve mutual benefit and reciprocity, so that for a long time, open a sea trade point, that is, open customs, for the Ming Dynasty."

"Of course, not all commodities can be traded, contraband can not enter, can not go out, for some of the resources urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty, adopt low tariffs, encourage merchants to enter, and some are not urgently needed, breed luxury of goods, collect heavy taxes, use tax rates to regulate the entry and exit of goods, of course, cracking down on smugglers, safeguarding the legitimate interests of merchants, is also the top priority of the sea ban."

After saying so much in one breath, Yu Jin was also a little tired, and took a breath a little, and then saluted Xu Jie: "What I thought of in the evening, for the time being, that's all, please correct me more." ”

"Okay" Xu Jie clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, Siyuan, you said it very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that you have exceeded the old man's expectations for you." ”

Yu Jin performed very prominently in the turmoil of the edict, that is, from that time on, Xu Jie looked at this rising star, this time Longqing did not discuss with him, and designated Yu to go in to do the matter of opening the sea ban, at first Xu Jie was a little disappointed, and felt that Longqing was a little nonsense.

What can an eighteen-year-old, milky boy do?

But Longqing's new policy, Xu Jie, who is in power, doesn't want to leave the impression of greed for power to the new emperor, he wanted to wait for Longqing to hit a nail, and finally wait for him to come forward to pick up the mess, but he didn't expect to hear Yu Jin say it, and he immediately realized that it should not be underestimated.

Yu Jin didn't say much, but the meaning of his expression was beyond Xu Jie's expectations, especially the use of taxes to regulate the import and export of goods, which was even more novel.

Before the Ming Dynasty did not have a sea ban, it was the city department responsible for collecting taxes, and there were two main ways to collect taxes, one was the traditional thirty tax one, because of the variety of goods, it was difficult to estimate the value, and there was a lot of room for corruption; The other, which is also more popular, is charged according to the length of the ship, which is about five dollars for the cashier of the ship within one zhang and five feet, and then five dollars for each five feet of length.

In order to save money in taxes, some shipowners built their ships very high or piled their goods very high, which not only caused the loss of the treasury, but also left a disaster.

It is a good way to use flexible tax rates to achieve the purpose of adjustment.

"Adult awards" Yu Jin spread his hands: "It's easier said than done, now I want money but no money, no one wants people, and I haven't been in contact with this aspect, so I can say that I have two eyes, and I also ask Lord Shoufu to show a clear way to the lower officials." ”

One more friend, there is always one more enemy, now it is Xu Jie's power in his hands, it is the future, and it is also his student Zhang Juzheng who controls the imperial court, and if there is a chance, Yu Jin naturally wants to hug his thighs.

Xu Jie was not hypocritical, or that Yu Jin was not worth his tricks, so he nodded and said: "I heard that Liu Dongjia, who is famous in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, has a lot of unique insights in trade, and Siyuan can talk to him when he has time." ”
