Chapter 649: The Maritime Match (Part II)
Because of the lack of silver, they had to kill the pirates......
Qin Kan's words can be described as divine logic, Zhu Houzhao was confused when he heard it, looking at Qin Kan's eyes with inexplicable awe, although he didn't understand how the logic in these words jumped out, but it was certain that a person who didn't speak human words in his mouth must have something powerful about him, don't think about the meaning of the words first, it's always right to worship it first.
"You wait, don't talk yet, let me sort it out......" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, interrupting Qin Kan's tirade that he was about to speak next, and showed a more apologetic smile: "I have been spending too much time in the wine store recently, and I can't keep up with you anymore, you speak slowly." ”
Qin Kan expressed his understanding, after all, if he nodded and rubbed the table for a long time, no matter how smart the dual-core was, it would become a single-core.
Zhu Hou reasoned out his thoughts, and said: "Your first sentence just now, I lack silver is a fact, to earn silver is also a top priority, a few years ago, the emperor sent eunuchs to all parts of the Ming Dynasty as mine supervisors, so later the inner treasury had mining tax silver every year, after I ascended the throne, I did have a little looser on hand, and there were more places to use money, and the extra one or two million taels every year were spent in a daze, and then you just said the second sentence, I also understand that I am very clear about killing the Japanese Kou, these guys are extremely vicious, poisoning and scourging the coastal people of my Ming Dynasty, and I have wanted to get rid of them for a long time. Now I just want to ask you, is there a causal relationship between earning money and getting rid of the Japanese bandits? ”
"Yes, the first is to eradicate the plague of a hundred years and avenge the coastal people who have been slaughtered by the Japanese in the past hundred years, and the second is to open the sea route. Jing Neihai ......"
"Why do you need to go by sea?" Zhu Houzhao finally got to the point.
Qin Kan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The sea route is forbidden to open the sea!" ”
Zhu Houzhao turned his head abruptly and stared at Qin Kan tightly.
Qin Kan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the ancestors have made the law according to the situation, the so-called 'situation' is only the situation more than a hundred years ago, and now a hundred years have passed, the vicissitudes of life, and the situation has changed. It's time for the ancestors to change. I remember that His Majesty had just ascended the throne. Now the city of Tianjin is gradually prospering, Tianjin Donggang is building sea ships day and night, and the Japanese monarch is weak and strong. The war is raging. At this time, I opened the sea ban. The east wind is ready. ”
After Qin Kan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Houzhao's face carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
On weekdays, the two monarchs and ministers discuss state affairs, and they all decide the matter, and Qin Kan's point of view, Zhu Houzhao, rarely opposes. In addition to the high degree of consistency in the thinking of the two, what is more important is the tacit understanding and trust between each other, both know that the other party will not deceive themselves, and they will say anything calmly.
But today is different at this moment, more than 100 years ago, after Emperor Taizu ordered the ban on the sea, it seems that even the mouths of the people in the world have been banned, and the word "sea ban" cannot be mentioned at all, which can be compared with the great rebellion, in this situation, Qin Kan suddenly proposed to open the sea ban, Rao is deep friendship with Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan also had to sweat for himself......
After a long time, he raised his head and said slowly: "Is it your personal intention to open the sea ban or the meaning of the ministers below?" ”
Qin Kan sighed: "At present, it is just the minister's personal meaning. ”
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "When I was still the prince of the East Palace, Mr. Yang Tinghe once talked to me about the ban on the sea in Chunfang, Mr. Yang said, in fact, the ban on the sea is more harmful than good to the Ming Dynasty, I Daming as the suzerain of the surrounding feudal countries, it is the next policy to close the country, not to mention that a lock is more than a hundred years, the imperial treasury is short of silver, the inner treasury is short of silver, the local government digs a ditch, repairs a river embankment, runs an official school, they are also short of silver everywhere, everyone knows that the silver of the road is a good thing, and they know that if the sea ban is opened, The silver will greatly fill our country's treasury, but why has no one in the court dared to mention the opening of the sea ban after more than a hundred years? ”
Qin Kan understood the meaning of Zhu Houzhao's words, and his expression became more and more bitter: "The reason for this is internal and external troubles. ”
Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Yes, internal and external troubles, outside the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates are rampant in the sea, robbing the ship when they see it, killing people when they see it, Japan is in civil strife, and there is no time to take care of itself, there is no way to solve it, and my Ming army is weak, unbearable to fight, you personally participated in the Chongming Anti-Japanese War, and you know better than me how weak my Ming army is weak." In the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of long-term vision, in fact, everyone knows that the opening of the sea ban is beneficial, although these ministers have a long-term vision, but their minds are crooked, when they see the benefits, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to strengthen the country, but how to fatten themselves, so they shout that the ancestral system cannot be violated, but in private they collude with businessmen to sail out to the sea to make money, and their reputation is also fished, and the silver is also fished, so the treasury is getting poorer and poorer, and the officials are getting richer and richer. ”
Zhu Houzhao looked rare serious, paused for a moment, and continued: "Mr. Yang also told me a past, in the ninth year of Hongzhi, there was a seven-grade imperial history named Gu Cheng, this person entered the second class and the first, it can be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, the Hanlin Academy was appointed to supervise the imperial history after two or three years, and on the first day of the dynasty, he was quite surprised by the father, with a tentative mind, so he proposed to let the cabinet and the six ministries discuss it, but as soon as the words were finished, the dynasty was boiling, and the ministers did not dare to scold their father, But it was pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and scolded Gu Cheng to the fullest, and nearly 100 people rushed up, and when the palace staff impeached Gu Cheng for misleading the country and violating the ancestral system, he asked his father to punish him severely, and the crowd was angry, and his father had to dismiss Gu Cheng from his post and expel him from Beijing......"
Zhu Houzhao's expression became more and more obscure: "That Gu Cheng didn't end well, he packed up and left the capital division full of depression, and before he arrived at Zhending Mansion, he was robbed and killed by the so-called thieves in the middle of the way, and this case became a headless unsolved case, and then it was ......not resolved."
“…… At the beginning, my father was critically ill, I waited in front of the bed all day long, my father taught me a lot of ways to govern the country in those days, I remember the most is the sea ban, my father told me that the sea ban should be opened, but not in a hurry, otherwise it will be burned, only slowly, ten years, twenty years, or even one or two generations can see hope, Qin Kan, I know that you open the sea ban is for a public heart, but the sea ban can't be mentioned, it touches too many people's net worth and future, no matter who dares to touch it, those deeply involved civil officials will fight to the death, even if you are the emperor and the prince, if you poke this hornet's nest, I don't know if I can save you. ”
Qin Kan's expression has darkened a lot, since the decision to open the sea ban, he has been very concerned about the opening of the sea and the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and he has also read a lot of the copywriting materials left by Jin Yiwei, Zhu Houzhao said that he actually knows the Tao, but listening to Zhu Houzhao's tone, the matter of opening the sea ban is more difficult than he imagined, so difficult that even Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, is so pessimistic.
Qin Kan understands that all resistance is only for one reason, and that is profit.
Daming does not have descendants like other dynasties, the family and the door valve, after the war baptism of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the illustrious millennium family gate valve has long declined, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is not very particular about the person, desperate to fight the old man finally laid this country, this country is like the ass of a donkey by the Taizu and his old man branded a "Zhu" word, the so-called single's eye can not tolerate sand, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, a murderous old single, so the family gate valve in the Ming Dynasty has basically disappeared. The only one who can barely be called a family is the descendant of Confucius, Yan Shenggong.
The family gate valve is gone, there is always a class in the world to replace it, and power cannot be completely concentrated in the hands of the emperor, so the scholar civil official group came into being, a group that has mastered the power, it is impossible to let go of other interests, power and money are always tied together, and no one can be missing.
Colluding with merchants to secretly go to sea to trade with vassal states, this is the interests of civil officials, their interests are more sacred and inviolable than the land of the Ming Dynasty, and whoever moves will die.
Qin Kan had already been mentally prepared, he knew that what he wanted to shake was the lifeblood of countless civil officials and scholars, and he challenged the entire class with the power of one person.
"Your Majesty, the world is difficult, you can't help it, the benefits of the sea ban don't need to be repeated, presumably Your Majesty also knows that since the sea ban is a good thing for the country, then ......" Qin Kan paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly became excited: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" ”
"What a spirit!" Zhu Houzhao nodded appreciatively: "Say something useful, what are you going to do?" ”
"The ministers plan to visit the ministers who oppose the ban on the sea one by one, and as soon as they meet, they will kneel down and hug their thighs and cry and beg, if the ministers are reasonable, the ministers will kneel more than 200 times and almost open the sea ban......"
Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded: "This ...... That's the idea you came up with? ”
"Unrealistic, right?"
"It's unrealistic, it's shameless."
Qin Kan smiled: "Then why don't we change to a more gentle method?" There is no need to ask for people, nor do you need to kill people, and the way of moisturizing things quietly and silently makes the opening of the sea ban a situation that the court ministers have to obey. ”
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "What method do you have?" ”
"The topic of the ban on opening the sea is too big, the minister thinks that it is better to change a small topic at the moment, which is a foreshadowing for the ban on opening the sea, the civil officials can collude with businessmen to build ships and go to sea, we can also build ships and go to sea, the silver of the sea they earn, we naturally earn, your majesty try to imagine, if everyone in the court is involved in shipping, this kind of atmosphere is brought to the local government, and the most common thing is brought to the people, when the secret is no longer a secret, the law is no longer a decree, the so-called forbidden sea is said, what is the difference between waste paper?"
