What the? Yang Xingzhou is coming to the Central Plains? ”

"Did he come to worship the Son of Heaven as the king of a country?"

"Could it be that he came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the Great Zhou, and he also wants to become my Ming Domain?"

"What are you kidding, today's Great Zhou dominates the countries of the South China Sea, recovers Goryeo, and destroys the Tatars. It's not that I have the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige, if the two countries go to war, although our Ming Dynasty is strong, it is still a few points behind the Great Zhou! This is not what I said, but what Li Boyuan, the old man of the current cabinet, said. The son of the elder Li Boyuange, Li Tanhua Li Xunfeng, was the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time, and he was in a high position, and because of this relationship, the old Li Boyuan Pavilion had the opportunity to enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and saw the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty! ”

"This matter is heard all over the world, and it is because of Li Ge Lao that the Great Zhou and the Ming Dynasty signed a non-aggression pact, which made the border stable, the trade increased, and the people suffered a lot fewer casualties."

"Who would have thought that this Yang Xingzhou was just a martial artist more than ten years ago, but now he has become the emperor of a country and an overseas emperor! It used to be called the Great Handsome Sharpshooter, but now this nickname is probably going to be changed. ”

"What should you change?"

"It should be called the Great Emperor Spear!"

At this time, Yang Xingzhou's dragon boat had arrived near Taizhou, and there were Ming officials waiting at the wharf, seeing Yang Xingzhou and his party getting off the boat, they hurriedly came to greet each other, and bragged about it, leading Yang Xingzhou to Taizhou City, and set up a banquet to entertain them.

"I haven't been to this place for more than ten years, and when I come back today, nothing has changed."

Yang Xingzhou took a turn in Taizhou City, and said with a smile to the local prefect who came to greet him: "In the past, I set out from Taizhou, killed the Huangyan Japanese Invaders, went all the way to the south along the coast, collected the Ryukyus, destroyed the Japanese Kingdom, merged the Taiwan Yuan, established the Great Zhou, passed through the South China Sea, conquered Goryeo, destroyed the Tatars, and made my Great Zhou Dynasty famous all over the world and powerful all over the world." And the starting point of all this is in this Taizhou City. ”

sighed, with a look of regret, "In the past ten years, I have been the emperor of the country, and I have sat down to do a career, so that my people will not suffer from cold and hunger, and will not be bullied by foreign enemies, live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be rich and prosperous." And this Taizhou City, for more than ten years, has not changed at all, and it is even a little more dilapidated than before. ”

Jia Tongxin, the prefect of Taizhou, said embarrassedly, "What the king said is that in the past, when Brother Xunfeng governed Taizhou, it was indeed much better than now, but in the past two years of drought and two years of waterlogging, the people have suffered greatly from natural disasters, and now the imperial court does not allow the people to go to the sea, so it is naturally difficult." ”

He sighed and said, "Your Great Zhou secretly extradited the victims, and the official actually knew about it, but seeing that the victims were affected by the disaster, they would starve to death, or cause a civil uprising, and I couldn't bear it, so your country secretly extradited the victims to the sea, and I also turned a blind eye and did not stop it." ”

Jia Tongxin saluted Yang Xingzhou and said, "Over the years, I want to thank the king for taking care of my people, if there is no Great Zhou, I am afraid that the victims who died of starvation are at least hundreds of thousands, and because the king killed the Japanese invaders overseas, so that my Taizhou City is no longer disturbed by the Japanese invaders, and there are countless living people, which the people of Taizhou have in mind." ”

Yang Xingzhou said with a smile, "Don't mention these things again, but the Ming Dynasty has never opened the sea now, because of choking and wasting food, it is extremely stupid!" ”

Jia Tongxin's face was pale and he didn't dare to answer Yang Xingzhou's words.

At this time, officials in various coastal areas knew that opening the sea was really beneficial and harmless, especially some big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was just a matter of annexing land, and more of them secretly formed a fleet to communicate with the caravans of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and obtained huge profits from them.

These big families in the south of the Yangtze River, after obtaining huge profits from the sea, in order not to let more people participate in it, worried about diluting their profits, so the family officials in the imperial court have become the representatives of their family interests, in the court, resolutely oppose the imperial court to open the sea, on the grounds that "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished", put pressure on the imperial court, and do not let the emperor use his brains on the sea ban.

For these people, "the Holy Son of Heaven rules by hanging the arch", he doesn't care about anything, everything is decided by their civil and official group, that is the best state, once their interests are violated, even the Son of Heaven They also have to block it, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring not to let the court compete with the people for profit, but in fact, it is these officials who compete with the people for profit.

Even if Yang Xingzhou has been at sea for more than ten years, he has let the caravans under his rule have been engaged in large-scale trade with the Ming Dynasty, but the profits are all disciples of the family, and the country has no benefit at all, and even the commercial tax cannot be collected, so that the treasury is empty and cannot make ends meet.

Yang Xingzhou understands this, Jia Tongxin understands, everyone in the Jiangnan region understands, and many people in the court also understand, but Emperor Laozi doesn't understand.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this kind of thing, when I have time to meet the Ming Emperor, I'll talk to him again!"

Yang Xingzhou knew that Jia Tongxin couldn't manage this kind of thing, and he didn't dare to manage it, the power in the Jiangnan region was too big in the imperial court, forming gangs and confusing the court, which was the favorite thing for this group of scholars, and it was almost impossible to overthrow this group of people.

After all, the people who hold power are all scholars, and the Manchu Dynasty is full of civil and military affairs, and few of them are clean, even if they are from a clean background, but as long as they enter the court, this cleanliness will soon become unclean, and if you are not clean, you will not have a chance to enter the court.

Yang Xingzhou has been the emperor for so many years, and he knows this kind of thing better than anyone else, so he is too lazy to say it at the moment, and after living in Taizhou City for a few days, he set off again and rushed to Beijing City.

When he came to the Central Plains this time, there were more than 3,000 people in his entourage, and there were many gifts, not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, pearls, precious stones, all kinds of strange and ingenious Western gadgets and things unique to the Great Zhou Dynasty, all of which were packed in large boxes and consigned by carriages.

In addition to these things, Yang Xingzhou also brought a lot of special animals as gifts, to the great tomorrow, the southern land kangaroos, platypus, large lizards, koalas, emus and other strange animals, were pulled from overseas to the Central Plains as rare birds, along the way officials and people to see, all amazed.

Along the way, his team was extremely eye-catching, and the officials along the way did not dare to slack off, and they met one after another on the way, and when they arrived in Beijing, it was already a month later.

Along the way, Yang Xingzhou was still sitting in his flame chariot, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Horse was still the main force pulling the chariot, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on both sides opened the way, holding various ceremonial weapons, majestic and solemn, and the pomp was great.

When he arrived outside Beijing, the Ming Emperor had already led the civil and military officials to stand outside the Suzaku Gate to greet him, after all, Yang Xingzhou was not a tribute from a small country in Fanbang at this time, but an emperor who was stronger than the Ming country came in person, and the Ming Emperor had to meet him in the city.

When Yang Xingzhou walked out of the carriage, he saw a young man in yellow surrounded by hundreds of officials, looking at him, with a curious look on his face, seeing Yang Xingzhou's eyes on him, the young man in yellow arched his hand and smiled, "Brother Yang, you are building a country overseas, don't you say that overseas places are all barren places?" Why is your Great Zhou Kingdom so strong? ”

Yang Xingzhou knew the identity of this person, this young man in yellow was surnamed Zhu, and his name was Zhu Houzhao.
