Ye Chunqiu's words gave Zhu Houzhao's impression absolutely shocking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Ye Chunqiu saw Zhu Houzhao's expression in his eyes, and actually understood Zhu Houzhao's mood very well.

However, Ye Chunqiu's expression didn't seem to be finished, at this time, he said again: "This is just silver, gold is two million taels, in addition, there are many rare treasures, and there are countless of them, Your Majesty, the Ming Sea has been banned for more than a hundred years, these should be the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but they were taken up by the small country of Puer, you say you can't be angry?" ”

Mr. Ye is still very professional, he started to play with pseudo-concepts again, what he means is, Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, right? The treasures and gold and silver in this world should be yours, and now the Spanish and Portuguese are like fish in water, and they have robbed you of your money.

Zhu Houzhao's face was swollen red, his mind was actually a little dazed, this amount was too big, he used to be proud of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he had saved in the inner treasury, but that satisfaction was suddenly swept away, and it suddenly became boring.

Ye Chunqiu glanced at Zhu Houzhao deeply, and then said: "It's just that you want to open the sea, where is it so easy?" I'm afraid that there will inevitably be another dispute at that time, since this is the case, then Your Majesty and the ministers, should take back the silver that should be ours, this franchise, that's what it means, use the franchise to circumvent the sea ban, Your Majesty, you can wait in the palace to build more inner treasury to prepare for silver, and the town ...... there"

Zhu Houzhao listened, his eyes gradually lit up, patted his head, and said, "I understand, ha...... Why don't you tell the Cabinet Ministers? ”

Ye Chunqiu sighed and said helplessly: "Hey...... Scholars are not allowed to talk about money, and if the courtiers talk to them about this, it will not only be vulgar, but also ......."

"I see." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face: "When the time comes, if they know that they are going to go to the sea with gritted teeth, this silver will eventually belong to the Zhenguo Mansion and my inner library, I don't know if they will jump up in anger." Scared, Chunqiu, I didn't expect you to be so insidious, but I like it. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands excitedly, and then said: "They robbed me of my money, and I want them to return it to me with interest...... Then again, are Spain and Portugal really that rich? ”

Zhu Houzhao held his chin and looked very serious, but his eyes were full of fierceness.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao with blazing eyes, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, this guy must have had experience in robbing houses in his previous life.

Ye Chunqiu sighed in his heart, originally he thought that his words were to give Zhu Houzhao a sense of urgency, so as to teach Zhu Houzhao to fully support the franchise of the Zhenguo Mansion, who would have expected that Zhu Houzhao's first thought was that the two old-timers who opened the sea were so rich, did he want to go to them to do a vote.

Ye Chunqiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but he said: "But the top priority at the moment is to put up the shelf first, and it is not so easy to really go to the sea, but the younger brother is already making preparations." ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head suddenly, sighed faintly, and showed a little sadness.

Zhu Houzhao was still excited just now, and at this time, Ye Chunqiu saw that he suddenly became depressed, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”

"Hey...... In the future, it's been a sad day. Zhu Houzhao said faintly: "In the past, I had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and I was already very satisfied, and I was happy this day, but now, after listening to your words, I suddenly felt that the inner library was just a little thing, and it really didn't mean anything, and I was really melancholy......"

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Fang Liang, and then said his thoughts with a bitter face: "But the hundreds of millions of silver, but there is still no shadow, I can see it, I can't touch it, but I can't look down on the little money, in the future, I'm afraid I want to have tea and dinner, I don't think about it, I ...... I'm scared of poverty. ”

The poor word was used in his description of himself, Ye Chunqiu listened, and felt that the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, and after half a sound, he had to say: "Your Majesty, bear with one or two." ”

Zhu Houzhao said again: "Let's talk about it first, when this ship is launched, the sailor will probably have a little eyebrows, and I will board the ship in person." ”

Seeing Ye Chunqiu frowning again, Zhu Houzhao grinned and said, "The right is for me to beg you, I haven't been on a sea ship yet." ”

Ye Chunqiu was noncommittal, he didn't dare to make up his mind about this matter, the matter at sea was not a joke, at least in this era, it was definitely a high-risk matter.

Ye Chunqiu looked at him and said, "The most troublesome thing at the moment is the problem of the base, where should this sailor be built?" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't care very much, and said casually: "It's in Tianjin Weibar, as long as I say hello, the cabinet is there, and there is no objection to it, they can't ask for it now and quickly throw the hot potato to the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

Tianjin Wei Gong Wei Jing Division, this is not wrong.

But Ye Chunqiu didn't quite agree, and said: "Your Majesty, there are many benefits in Tianjin Wei, but has Your Majesty ever thought that if it is built in the Guannei, one of them is to be stared at by hundreds of officials, which is very inappropriate, and Your Majesty has ambitions, why not build it in a more dangerous place?" ”

Zhu Houzhao raised his head in amazement, he was a little unsure of what Ye Chunqiu meant, and looked at Ye Chunqiu with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty forgot?" The minister has always heard that outside the Shanhaiguan, the lonely island, because the Qin Emperor seeks immortals and gets the name, so it is called Qinhuangdao, this road is just opposite to the Shanhaiguan Sea, occupies a hundred miles of place, there, the minister wants to order someone to investigate it. ”

What Ye Chunqiu said is Qinhuangdao in later generations, because it is adjacent to Shanhaiguan, but now, there are not many people.

In later generations, Qinhuangdao was already connected to the mainland, but in this era, Qinhuangdao was still just an island.

In the early years, the "absolute island" mentioned by Chen Juan in his poem was Qinhuangdao. The so-called island is an isolated island, an island isolated in the sea. Today, the island is unrecognizable. Qinhuangdao in the Ming and early Qing dynasties was originally a barren and populated island under the jurisdiction of Funing County. Although Qinhuangdao is small, it is very aura, so there is no shortage of books in history. In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, there was a record in the "Yongping Mansion Chronicles, Mountains and Rivers": "Qinhuangdao is seventy miles east of Funing County, and there are mountains in the sea. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao still didn't seem to understand Ye Chunqiu's intentions, so he asked, "Looking for a lonely island, right?" What's in it for you? ”
