Ye Chunqiu also seemed to have expected that Zhu Houzhao would come forward, and he probably knew something about what was happening outside, so he was not surprised at all by Zhu Houzhao's sudden summons at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ye Chunqiu stood up, tidied up his clothes, especially put on the python robe given by Qin, without the slightest slackness, he immediately left the camp of the Zhenguo New Army and went directly to the palace to meet him.

Take the carriage to the outside of the noon gate, enter the palace from the noon gate, and then arrive all the way to the warm pavilion, and here in the warm pavilion, it is not surprising that there are many people waiting for Ye Chunqiu here.

Zhu Houzhao sat behind the imperial case in high spirits, looking meticulous, but when he saw Ye Chunqiu, he winked at Ye Chunqiu when no one noticed.

Ye Chunqiu didn't dare to respond to him, and when he saw that Liu Jian and everyone were there, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he saluted obediently.

Then, Zhu Houzhao said: "Sit down and talk." ”

Someone moved a brocade pier, Ye Chunqiu sat down, and then said, "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come?" ”

Zhu Houzhao coughed, glanced at Liu Jian and the others, and said, "I'm just a peacemaker today, you can say it yourself." After that, he looked at Liu Jian and them.

Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he looked at Ye Chunqiu and said: "The old man is rotten, to put it in his heart, he doesn't know anything about the Franc machine and the ship. ”

Ye Chunqiu smiled shyly and said, "Actually, Chunqiu doesn't know much. ”

"Don't be modest." Liu Jian smiled, Xie Qian, Wang Hua and Li Dongyang, who were sitting on the side, also laughed, and Li Dongyang said: "Zhenguo Gong is young, he is so modest, he is really very human, and he should give birth to a son like Ye Chunqiu." ”

"......" It is rare that Li Dongyang, who has always been cautious, opened his mouth, and praised himself for being so creative, Ye Chunqiu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hey......" At this time, Liu Jian sighed and said: "The cabinet is worried about the Franco, the attack on Quanzhou can no longer breed, if it happens again, you and I will be sinners for the ages." The old man thought about it, and it was a top priority to prepare for the establishment of a sailor and keep the enemy out of the country. Do you have any ideas? ”

Ye Chunqiu actually understands the difficulties of Liu Jian and others, he thought about it, and said: "Protecting the territory and the people, it is an unshirkable responsibility, ten years of trees, a hundred years of water division, this water division to be built, in fact, Spring and Autumn knows that it is not easy, the Buddha Lang machine people are obsessed with navigation, it has long been a thousand miles a day, and I have forbidden the sea for a hundred years, many of the skills of the ancestors have long been lost, they are proficient in this way, and I Daming, but my eyes are black, and now the water builder, the investment is also great." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu glanced at everyone with complicated expressions, and continued, "Actually...... Ye is deeply favored by the country, but he also wants to serve the court. ”

Ye Chunqiu said solemnly: "If Your Majesty and the cabinet are willing to issue an order to order the Zhenguo Mansion to prepare for the construction of a water division, the Spring and Autumn Period is willing to have the courage to do anything, the military expenses of the water division, the Spring and Autumn Period are willing to do their best to raise and defend my Daming Sea Frontier, it is not only the responsibility of the imperial court, but also the responsibility of the Zhenguo Government. ”

Ye Chunqiu's words can be said to be sincere to the extreme.

At this moment, Liu Jian and the others were a little embarrassed, they were still thinking about how to lobby Ye Chunqiu in their hearts, but who knew that Ye Chunqiu actually took the initiative to mention it, full of emotion and selflessness.

Zhu Houzhao sat there quietly, listening to Ye Chunqiu's answer, which was also very pleasant, otherwise why would he say that he was a brother? Others are eager to throw away the hot potato, but Chunqiu is in a hurry to pick it up, and there is only one reason, it is nothing more than worrying about the king.

It's true, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time.

Liu Jian coughed, he had to smile, but he didn't know how to say it, he quickly found that the obstacle of the current water builder was not Ye Chunqiu, but the shareholder of the Zhenguo Mansion, even if Ye Chunqiu expressed his attitude here, what could he do, were those people willing to be willing?

Li Dongyang became deeper, but as if he was thinking about something, he was silent for a while.

Wang Hua and Xie Qian felt very relieved, they didn't see the wrong person.

"It's just ......" Liu Jian glanced at Ye Chunqiu with admiration, and then said: "The water master is spending too much, how can the Zhenguo Mansion raise money and food?" The old man opened the skylight and said something bright, and Chunqiu himself said that in the future, if he wanted to maintain the sailor, he would have to ask at least three or five million taels of silver, which was too much. What's more, I'm only afraid of the Spring and Autumn Period, and maybe others are also willing? ”

Still, he voiced his doubts.

Ye Chunqiu knew in his heart that the time had come for Tu Poor Dagger to see it, and said: "If the other shareholders are unwilling, Chunqiu is willing to lobby one by one, give them the benefits and disadvantages, and ask them to focus on the overall situation; So far, money and food are indeed troublesome, in fact, it is not completely impossible to convince other shareholders......"

Hearing this, everyone cheered up, and they all looked at Ye Chunqiu with blazing eyes.

Liu Jian said directly: "How do you say this? ”

"Now the imperial court implements a sea ban, goods can not enter and exit, but to open the sea, this is the law of the ancestors, I am afraid that there are some difficulties, since the sea can not be opened, it is better to find a workaround, if the imperial court can acquiesce to the Zhenguo government to monopolize the trade on the sea, and allow the ships of the Zhenguo government to trade with other countries, the Spring and Autumn Period will have a way to raise more money and grain, so that you can also give an explanation to the shareholders."

Maritime trade!

That's the key.

What is the builder for? Although there is a need to defend the country, isn't it also necessary to protect the sea lanes? Once the waterway is secured, if you don't do a little business, you really can't talk about it.

In this era, the exchange of what there is, is simply a profiteering industry, the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was transported to the Wa Kingdom, that is, dozens of times the spread, the spices of the South Seas were transported to the Ming Dynasty, it is also dozens of times the profit, where is the sea trade, it is simply a boatload of gold and silver, the profit here, is too big, and because of this, so although the Ming Dynasty is banned, there are still countless people who risk killing their heads to smuggle, it is because of this, run a boat, in the words of modern people, it is simply a bicycle into a motorcycle, The sale of the head is also dry.

And once the Zhenguo Mansion obtains the franchise of sea trade, then the title of the Ming East India Company will really be confirmed, no matter how much the sailor spends a lot, but in this era when whoever controls the sea controls the wealth of the world, let alone millions of taels of silver, even if this amount increases several times, Ye Chunqiu will never frown.
