Sixteenth elder brother Yinlu was not slow to react, and in retrospect, he couldn't help but say that the thirty-eight unlucky officials were not worth it, and Yinzhen said lightly to find some trouble for himself, and the fate of these officials changed, how many of these government and county officials were read hard for ten years? How many years have you been in officialdom? Now that they have ruined their future because of a small mistake, they are really not worth it when you think about it. //**//

Officialdom is really unpredictable, thinking of this, Yinlu couldn't help but sigh lightly, but he didn't dare to speak. Yinzhen saw that he looked lonely, and then he understood what the reason was, so he smiled and said, "Why does the sixteenth brother sigh for a long time? ”

Yinxiang had already guessed the reason, and couldn't help laughing: "The sixth brother is young, kind-hearted, and he doesn't know the inside story of officialdom, so he is not worth it for those officials who are about to be recalled, in fact, there is no need, this impeachment, there are fourteen brothers named, these officials are definitely recalled, and those who have bad deeds such as corruption and violation of law and discipline may also be exiled by the family."

However, among them, the officials are honest or capable, or have deep backgrounds, but they will recover in two or three years, and they will be officials in different places. Which of these officials does not have a network behind them now? ”

How could it be? Yinlu couldn't help but laugh and said: "There are so many doorways in officialdom? Sixteen is really salty and eats turnips, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

There is a way that mercy is not in charge of soldiers, the old sixteen's temperament is really not suitable for being in the navy, and after a long silence, Yinzhen said: "Brother Sixteen has ever heard that Ci is not in charge of soldiers, love is not in charge, righteousness is not financial management, and goodness is not an official; Love is deep, wisdom will hurt? You are only eighteen this year, a few more years of training, at the age of the fourteenth brother, if you still have this heart, go to study knowledge, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, the nine sons are different, you don't have to hang yourself on a tree, no matter what field you have achieved, it is the greatest support for the fourteenth brother. ”

Yinlu didn't expect that a sigh would cause such a big reaction, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Fourteenth brother, I really like the days in the army." ”

"Don't rush." Yinzhen smiled and said: "Brother Fourteen promised you to let you do what you like and are interested in, don't rush to force yourself now." ”

"Thank you, Brother Fourteen." Yinlu was relieved, he was really worried that Yinzhen would drive him back to the capital.

Yinxiang said faintly on the side: "Fourteenth brother, I like to lead the army to the sea." ”

"Go aside." Yinzhen smiled: "Didn't you let you go to clean up the pirates now?" As he spoke, he turned to Yinlu and said, "Sixteenth brother, where is your banquet?" ”

A feast was only eaten until it was dark, and then it was happy.

Back to the temporarily collapsed yard, Yinzhen was about to take a hot bath and relax, but Fang Bao came to the door, Yinzhen knew that he must have a mature idea of overseas trade, so he was busy ordering people to serve tea, and called a brazier, posing for a long talk.

Fang Bao was not in a hurry, and after serving the tea, he took a few sips before putting down the teacup and said: "Fourteenth Master, I have come into contact with many maritime merchants from all over the world in Shanghai for the rest of the month, and I have a little understanding of maritime trade.

The Qing navy defeated Spain and the Netherlands, occupied the entire South Seas, and consolidated them, and as a result, the trade of the Qing Dynasty to Europe, the Americas, the South Seas, and Japan changed greatly.

The trade in the Americas is not a big problem, and it will be fully opened next year, and with the expansion of the feudal country, the trade in the Americas will become more and more prosperous. European trade depended on the ability of the European envoys on the expedition, and if the alliance with France and Spain was successful, it could be resumed next year, and it would be completely dominated by our Qing Dynasty.

The Nanyang countries are now under the siege of the Qing Dynasty, and with the development of the Karopa and Manchurian Tsangka, the trade with the Nanyang countries will be closer and more convenient, especially the rice trade of the Nanyang countries, which will be greatly prosperous in the next few years. …,

Trade with Japan changed the most, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate in order to prohibit Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other European countries from proselytizing in Japan, in order to prevent the rich merchants and foreigners from colluding to obtain firearms and oppose their shogunate, began to vigorously ban the sea - blockading overseas trade, only allowing the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands to trade in Nagasaki.

Now that the Netherlands has been expelled from the South Seas and is no longer able to trade with Japan, the Qing Dynasty can take this opportunity to expand its trade with Japan. ”

Yinzhen was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Japan is closed to the rest of the country, and overseas trade depends on Qing merchant ships, why do we say that we are passive in trade with Japan?" ”

Fang Bao took two sips of tea before saying: "Fourteenth Master, in the trade with Japan, we exported raw silk, silk fabrics, medicinal materials, sugar, paper and books, and imported gold, silver, copper, and the most important thing is copper.

Because the imperial court encouraged the import of copper, so the sale of copper profits, to trade with Japan maritime merchants to import copper, Japan is to take advantage of this, in the trade to occupy the initiative, hateful, Japan in the Kangxi 27 years, the total trade volume with the Qing Dynasty can not exceed 600,000 silver, ships shall not exceed 70.

&nbs

p; Today, Japan's foreign trade is only one of the Qing Dynasty and the Nanyang countries. ”

"Wait." Yinzhen interrupted: "Didn't you just say that Japan's foreign trade only exists in the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands?" Why did the Nanyang countries pop up again? ”

"The Nanyang kingdoms of Annam, Siam, and Gwangnam, as well as the Ryukyus and Korea, were all considered by Japan to be subject countries of the Qing Dynasty, and they were all allowed to trade." After Fang Bao explained, he continued: "Now that the Qing Navy controls the South Seas, it can monopolize trade with Japan, requiring an increase in trade volume and trade ships, and we can completely block Japan's overseas trade, and we can also use this to coerce and lower the price of copper and gain the initiative in trade." ”

What I want is not the initiative in trade, Yinzhen smiled slightly and asked, "Is there a way to get information outside of Nagasaki, Japan?" ”

Fang Bao shook his head slightly, and said, "Japan completely bans the sea, and maritime traders can only go ashore on Dejima in Nagasaki, and they are not allowed to go ashore at all, how can they obtain information?" The difference is that although Japan is closed to the sea, the news is not closed, and the situation in the Qing Dynasty, the South Seas, and even Europe is quite clear. ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but be surprised, how could it be? The Qing Dynasty had trade contacts with Europe, and there were many missionaries who preached in China, but the situation in Europe was quite vague.
