Chapter 76 No Sea Order

Of course, Zhu Jian only wanted to share the big cake of shipping with Zheng Zhilong, but the cake was too big for him to swallow alone, and it was not easy to come forward, so he pulled a group of nobles and let them come forward to handle it, and there were several noble old princes who accompanied Song Xiance to Fujian.

Making a lot of money is the main purpose, but there is another main purpose, he is playing the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves, which is to use the money of these nobles to build a naval fleet loyal to him.

Under normal circumstances, these noble princes are not allowed to leave the Beijing Division at will, so they all took a long leave under the pretext of being sick, dressed up in disguise, and quietly left the Beijing Division in Song Xiance's team, the purpose was also to increase Zheng Zhilong's trust.

There is no way, Zheng Zhilong has just accepted the invitation of the imperial court, he must be uneasy, afraid that the imperial court will kill him, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it is estimated that it will immediately turn against the Ming, when the big pirate goes, plus this is a huge big cake, it suddenly fell from the sky and smashed it on the head, who is in Zheng Zhilong's current position, it is strange that the Son of Heaven wants to kill himself.

"What do you think?"

In the court, Zhu Jian put forward a proposal to open the sea, he didn't want the officials of the Tianzi Party who were loyal to him to be sprayed by the Donglin Party, and personally said the proposal to open the sea, of course, there were a lot of Dongdong in front of him, such as the outbreak of famine in the country, no harvest, famine all over the country, and the explosion of civil revolt and other wars, plus the nine sides are tight, it takes a lot of money and food, and the treasury is empty, I really have no choice, I can only open the sea to collect taxes, if the public has a good plan to enrich the treasury, so that the people have enough food and clothing, I will abide by the ancestral system and continue to ban the sea.

Don't mention anything to me to increase taxes in various places, the people are already miserable to make trouble, whoever mentions raising taxes will cut their black yarn hats, however, those merchants' taxes can be increased, they have so much money that they worry about how to spend it every day to spend some, I collect their taxes to help them accumulate some yin virtue, be careful of a hell after death, and give birth to a son Mu You'er.

"Your Majesty, no, the ancestral system can't be violated."

More than a dozen low-rank officials jumped out for the first time, knelt on the ground and cried that the ancestral system cannot be violated, they are all members of the Donglin Party, and they usually rush to the front as cannon fodder, and Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction spout or something, the bigwigs sit firmly on the Diaoyutai to watch the excitement, and only when the situation is serious or at a critical moment will they stand up and make a splash.

"So what can you do to replenish the Empire's treasury? So that the people of the world do not go hungry? Zhu Jian asked with a smile, he had already been mentally prepared, asking this was just a joke, and it was not bad to occasionally tease these guys to add some fun to life.

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be violated." Several petty officials of the Jiangnan faction also jumped out and cried and admonished, crying even more sadly and sadly than their own father's death.

“……”

Zhu Jian made a lot of calculations, but he didn't count this, he didn't expect Ruan Dacheng's people to also jump out to make trouble, and instantly became so angry that his face turned red, and his temples jumped suddenly, if his eyes could kill, those officials of the Jiangnan faction would have been chopped into meat by his cold gaze and fed to the dogs.

"The minister objected."

"The minister is also against it."

Officials of middle and high rank began to perform, there were Donglin Party and Jiangnan faction, all of them were opposed to the opening of the sea without exception, there was only one reason, it violated the ancestral system and did not conform to the rules, as for the problem of the empty treasury, we can slowly discuss and come up with a solution.

Of course, everyone knows that if they cut off the financial route of those merchants, how much less income will they have to make every year? The sea is the big cake that they and the merchants make a fortune together, whoever moves their cake, who they find desperately, the Son of Heaven can't do it, therefore, the civil officials of the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan faction have reached a tacit understanding and resolutely oppose the opening of the sea.

The civil officials who knelt on the ground in the Jinluan Hall were only a dozen or so civil officials of the Son of Heaven standing, they were regarded by the two factions as the rudder of the wind, the grass on the wall without assertiveness, the scum of the forces, the small group of people who were abandoned, and the others were all noble military generals, and the military generals and the civil official group could not pee a pot, but they all knew that the civil official's mouth was very powerful, and they wisely chose to be silent.

Zhu Jian inhaled desperately, trying to calm himself down, but looked coldly at the civil official who knelt on the ground, neither squeaked nor said to let them get up, since you want to play hooligan, Lao Tzu also plays a little hooligan, then let you kneel for a long time and then say, grandma is a bear.

If there is silence in the Jinluan Palace, there is only the sound of rapid breathing of the officials, the subjects of the Qing Dynasty have soft knees, and the general salute is to kneel, and they call themselves slaves at every turn, and they practice a superior kneeling kung fu one by one, and the subjects of the Ming Dynasty are quite backbone, the knees are hard, and they will kneel only in special circumstances, just like they will kneel when they are admonished and admonished now, and they kneel to the scum, and only kneel a few times, and the knees will be painful, and the legs will be numb, and the cold sweat will be soaring, especially some old officials who are old, weak and weak, not only panting, cold sweat, the body staggered and almost fell, but they gritted their teeth and held on, and if the Son of Heaven did not let go, they would not be able to kneel.

The monarch and the ministers confronted each other silently for more than an hour, although there were a few old ministers who were old and weak and fainted, and were carried down by the eunuchs for treatment, but in the end it was Zhu Jian who couldn't hold on.

Zhu Jian issued a new "sea ban order" to intensify the investigation of the sea, but anyone who was found to have a merchant carrying goods to sea would have his ship and cargo confiscated, and he would be punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and a fine would be paid for the lighter case, and the heavier one would be exiled or raided, and Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in coastal defense, would be responsible.

"The emperor is wise."

All the civil officials breathed a sigh of relief, the Son of Heaven finally compromised, and it was also appropriate to send a few sycophants who didn't want money, as for the old and new "Sea Ban Order", they didn't take it seriously at all, and banned the sea for N hundred years, those businessmen didn't still rely on HNA to make a lot of money, and they also got N more benefits from it, a win-win situation, the Son of Heaven played with mud, hehe.

Zhu Jian looked coldly at the civil officials in front of him, and sneered in his heart, let you be happy for a few days first, and then see how you cry, hum.

In a small county on the coast of Fujian, when Zheng Zhilong listened to Song Xiance's tirade, he was not dizzy by the huge gold cake that fell from the sky, on the contrary, the first reaction in his mind was that the faint king wanted to kill Lao Tzu?

Fortunately, there were a few military advisors around him who were relatively calm, and they stopped him in time from drinking the order to take down Song Xiance and a few old princes to sacrifice their flags and go to sea, and then several people muttered for a long time in another room.

After discussion and analysis, the military advisors came to the conclusion that the Son of Heaven and the nobles were estimated to be poor and crazy, so they came up with such a big drama that could scare people to death, this thing is difficult to refuse, and the temptation is so great that it is difficult to refuse, however, the silver with white flowers is not earned, it is a stupid pen, and the Song military division who just represented the Son of Heaven also said, people are not done, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

But this big gold cake also has a disadvantage, it will offend those merchants who go to sea and the civil official group behind it, the advantage is that it firmly holds the dragon leg of the Son of Heaven, and forms a close alliance with those nobles, although it is maintained by silver, but as long as the sea is in the hands of the Zheng family, the alliance relationship will be strong.

"If Dong Weng is still worried, he can wait for another ten days and a half months." A military advisor suggested.

"Wait another half a month?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned, he was good at fighting, but it was a bit difficult to play conspiracy or something.

"Wait for the Son of Heaven to chant the ban on the sea again."
