The Ming Dynasty, which was called the most solar term by later generations, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, did not cut the land and did not pay compensation, and now it is a day to the west, and there is no Yongle period in the north of the desert, and the move of going to the West to raise the national prestige.

At present, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen, it is more worthy of attention if the internal peasant uprising and the crisis of Houjin becoming bigger in the north have not been resolved.

Even Australia, an overseas country established by the descendants of the former Song Dynasty, was only mentioned in the court for a period of time before there was no sound, and it disappeared as if there had never been such a thing.

However, the ministers who are interested and really concerned about the situation in the Ming Dynasty have seen that Australia's influence in the Ming Dynasty has gradually deepened, and it is said that the mirrors used by the entire capital dignitaries and Australian perfume reading glasses and many other items have to be said to be very far-reaching.

The older ministers in the court have gradually become inseparable from carrying reading glasses with clean handwriting that can be seen in official affairs, and the ladies and ladies of the family have become more and more inseparable from Australian mirrors and perfumes.

Not to mention cosmetics such as perfume rouge mirrors, Australian clothes seem to have become popular in the capital recently, especially some Qinglou women, who are wearing Australian silk skirts that expose their arms and small waists in broad daylight, like the past sons and businessmen beckoning.

Although they continue to slander and even slander this Australian flower skirt in their mouths, the ladies and ladies in the family are very fond of it, in addition to the clothes that show their arms, and the trench coat and leather coat have become the standard outfits of the ladies in the capital.

If anyone doesn't have a leather coat with a Minase fur collar on the collar, those who go out to party to visit relatives and friends will definitely be laughed at, this woman must not have a status in the family or is not loved by the master, you see, even a Minase leather coat is reluctant, isn't this obvious, although people didn't say it at the time, but they will definitely talk about it afterwards.

After the ladies and ladies who can't afford to lose people go back, don't care what the master of the family has about Australian clothing, crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, you still have to buy it obediently, otherwise don't want to eat and sleep well.

If it is only affected in the upper class, some people are not too worried, but the Australian old seems to be taking the bottom route, launching a lot of cheap Australian glass cups and denim or something, these things are relatively cheap and cheap, generally as long as you can eat, people can buy it.

More and more Australian goods are gradually affecting the daily life of the Ming people, especially the impact of the upper class is more serious, and officials have begun to worry about whether it will affect the internal economy and handicraft industry of the Ming Dynasty itself in the long run.

There are always officials who express their worries, especially some gentry who have not received a piece of the soup in Australia, and since I haven't been able to get a piece of the pie, it's okay to give you some eye medicine and throw a few stones, so there are officials who express their worries.

Even this matter has been paid attention to by Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, as the first assistant minister of the cabinet, he knows about the tax income of the imperial court, and if he can really collect high commercial taxes on Australian goods, it can also solve a small part of the burden of the imperial court.

With money, the imperial court can requisition more food for disaster relief, and it can also recruit more brave warriors to suppress the peasant army uprising.

The idea is good, but of course the vested interests will not compromise so easily, you have people in the court, and those vested interests who rely on Australian goods naturally have their own support, and they also have their own voices.

Shen Youlong, the new governor of Liangguang who took office not long ago, was even more directly played, explaining the general inappropriateness of collecting Australian goods and commercial taxes, and the implication was that the Ming Dynasty was the upper country of the Heavenly Empire, and this Australia was the country established by the descendants of the former Song Dynasty, and now it is respected as orthodoxy, but it only sells some goods to the Ming Dynasty, how can the imperial court collect commercial taxes.

The reason why Shen Youlong is so enthusiastic is also inseparable from the fact that he has collected a lot of silver from the big merchants in the Liangguang realm, and in his opinion, the Australians just buying some goods will not have much impact on Daming.

It seems to be a bit of a fuss to say that selling something can affect the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, but if he knew that later generations could indeed collapse a country's manufacturing industry by dumping goods, he wouldn't really say so.

There are two parties in the court, you argue with each other, Zhou Yanru has already seen the doorway here, and it is indeed not so easy to collect business taxes.

Just when the two sides were about to lose their voices, the twists and turns of a six-grade petty official in Guangdong made the two sides quickly fall into a new round of disputes.

According to the words of this six-rank petty official, the Xin'an County Decree leased a small island to Australia privately, and the Australians also stationed troops on it.

As soon as this matter came up, it was a big deal, the court shook, a small Xin'an county order dared to be so bold, and this Australian country was stationed on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

So some people said, after all, this Australia is a descendant of the former Song Dynasty, and it must be that the Ming Dynasty is plotting for its homeland when it is suffering from internal and external troubles.

In the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire, except for the Ming Dynasty, all other countries live in a bad place, those former Song people must not have a good life in Australia, and it is only the first step to return to this garrison, and then maybe one day they will start to attack the city and plunder the land.

Although Chongzhen was angry, he did not lose his mind, and instructed the Jinyi Guard to command the envoys and send people to Xin'an County, Guangdong Province to thoroughly investigate the matter and make a decision.

For a while, the ministers of the anti-Australian faction, each like a fighting rooster, spoke a lot higher, meaning to see how you explain this time, now it is not a question of whether to collect business tax or not, but a big problem of collaborating with the enemy.

If everything is true, there must be someone who is making trouble to move, not to mention the Xin'an County Order, I am afraid that Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, will not be able to escape the involvement. If you really chase it down, not to mention a piece of death, at least you can exile a large number of people.

The anti-Australia faction was watching jokes with pleasure, while the officials of the anti-Australia faction were anxious like ants on a hot pot at this time, thinking of a solution.

At this time, Australia's intelligence department naturally received the news, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the Guangzhou Office with a telegram about the changes in the Ming Dynasty, asking them to prepare a countermeasure.

However, what made the intelligence department feel fortunate was that it was Zheng Hongkui who was responsible for supervising this matter this time, and this person was inseparable from solving this matter, so he reminded the personnel of the Guangzhou Office by the way that it was up to them to solve it.
