The impact of the ban on the opening of the sea is enormous.

In addition to the harassment of the king of Han, there was also poor Goryeo.

As soon as the sea ban was opened, Goryeo was without the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese could directly pass through the sea area of the Ming Dynasty and reach the Goryeo Customs.

Subsequently, Goryeo was plundered in turns.

Of course, this result is also what Zhu Zhanji is willing to see.

Little brother, it's better to be weak all the time, if it's too strong, it's going to be counterproductive.

For the next period of time, the entire imperial court watched the reaction of the major customs.

In particular, the Zhedong Party paid close attention to it, and once the opening of the sea led to any problems, they would immediately write a letter to attack His Royal Highness Taisun.

However, fortunately, there are a few great Confucians, and there will not be too many problems in the major customs.

On the first day of the sea ban, Fuzhou Customs had only more than 200 merchant ships, going to foreign countries and trading back and forth.

And as time passed, more and more merchants went to the sea.

From 200 merchant ships, to 300, 400, 500......

There are more and more.

Because these businessmen have seen the benefits from going to the sea, they will go forward and follow suit.

What is trade?

It is to transport all the existing things of the Ming Dynasty to foreign countries, sell them abroad, and then exchange them for real money, or foreign things, to sell them to China.

In this way, the more stable the trade, the higher the economic income brought to the Ming Dynasty.

Because, customs is to collect taxes!

At present, the tax discussed between the prince and Zhu Zhanji is about 20%.

That is, ten taels of silver, and pay a tax of two taels of silver.

This tax is not heavy, and it can be protected by the state.

If it were to be smuggled in the past, at least 50% would be given to the corrupt officials.

It is better to do business with corrupt officials than with the imperial court, and the merchants can calculate this account clearly.

And such a virtuous circle has also made more and more businessmen go to sea.

Fu, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, and Jiang are in full swing.

In the same way, when the Ming Dynasty brought out the goods, the merchants would also bring in many novelties from abroad.

What Zhu Zhanji was waiting for was peppers and potato seeds.

At present, it should have been produced abroad, but it has not yet become popular.

If any merchant brings these two things back, there will be no shortage of food in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Zhanji also knows that the rarity of these two things is destined not to be found so easily.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the opening of the sea ban has indeed brought great benefits.

In just half a month, Fu, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, and this is a local handicraft industry, and suddenly there are more.

Zhejiang's textile industry is also becoming more and more prosperous, because the output of silk and cotton cloth sold from here has been increasing.

Many businessmen in Zhejiang have begun to work overtime to produce.

In foreign countries, there is a great demand for silk and cotton cloth, which also causes a lot of taxes collected by the customs.

In this regard, all the officials of the imperial court are obvious to all.

Not only that, because of the gradual rise of the handicraft industry, some people who could only farm the land every day in addition to farming also had another livelihood, that is, to work with major merchants.

For example, women in Zhejiang, who could only raise silkworms at home at first, can now go to the landlord's house to spin threads in exchange for money.

This is also a great solution to the manpower problem for the imperial court.

On this day, above the court.

Standing with hundreds of officials, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and Zhu Zhanji accompanied the prince and stood at the forefront.

Zhu Zhanji was not very interested in the old man's speech and the recital of the hundred officials, so he looked forward to going to court as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhanji himself didn't have much interest in these things, but the old man hoped that he could see more and learn more, so he insisted that he must get up early every day and come to the Fengtian Palace to go to court.

Zhu Zhanji, who has a lazy sleeping habit, was very uncomfortable for a while.

The prince beside him, seeing his son so listless, couldn't help but scold: "Son, you cheer up." ”

"Standing in this court is the dignity of the royal family."

Zhu Zhanji is still lazy and lazy.

Just then, an official stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, yesterday's report from Fuzhou Customs came."

Fuzhou Customs?

Recently, the ban on opening the sea has been very hot.

Many people want to see if this policy can be successful, so when they hear about Fuzhou Customs at this time, they are very much looking forward to it.

The old man sitting on the dragon chair looked slightly solemn when he heard this.

He was also looking forward to it.

He wanted to see if his grandson's decision was right, and whether he was right to take the risk of becoming an unworthy descendant and opening the sea ban.

"Say." Zhu Di suppressed his anticipation and said lightly.

The household official immediately opened the report, and then chanted in the hall: "Li Maocai, the envoy of Weichen Fuzhou City, asked the emperor Sheng'an, the sea ban has been opened for more than half a month, and the number of ships going to sea has reached more than 1,000 every day, and the load of goods is different......

More than a thousand.

This number frightened the officials of the court.

Even the old man didn't expect that the people would have such a great demand for going to sea.

More than 1,000 ships, this is just the data reported by Fujian, and what about Zhejiang, Guangzhou, and Jiangsu?

Isn't there an innumerable number of ships going to sea in these places?

The old man stabilized his mind: "Keep reading." ”

The household official continued to chant loudly: "On the first day of the opening of the sea, the tax was five thousand four hundred and sixty taels, or silver taels, or the goods were converted. ”

On the first day, the tax is five thousand taels?

The officials in the court were suddenly shocked.

There was a hint of disbelief in their expressions.

It's just that although five thousand taels is more, it is not enough to shock them.

Xia Yuanji bowed slightly, nodded and said, "Five thousand taels, beyond my expectations." ”

The happiest is naturally the household.

Xia Yuanji, who is the head of the household, also has a smile on his face.

Five thousand taels, what a huge amount of money, shouldn't the annual tax collected from Fuzhou Customs exceed one hundred taels?

Even if the annual maintenance of money and grain is more than 500,000 taels, this transaction is still worth it for the imperial court.

Yang Shiqi was a little surprised, then nodded slightly, and glanced at Taisun appreciatively.

Touching his beard, he sighed slightly: "Taisun's eyes are like torches, and he has vision." ”

At first, he was a little worried about the series of reactions caused by the opening of the sea ban.

But now, in exchange for real money, Yang Shiqi can only say, it's really fragrant......

Jian Yi smiled, a little happy.

Xingguo Gong was slightly surprised.

Chengyang Hou, Tai Ninghou grinned, because they felt that the military budget was coming......

With military spending, the old man will think about fighting, thinking about fighting, and it will be possible for them to lead troops to fight in exchange for military merits.

Just when the hundred officials were thinking differently, the household official continued to say in a loud voice: "On the third day of opening the sea, the tax revenue reached eight thousand taels. ”

"On the fifth day of the opening of the sea, the tax revenue reached 10,000 taels when it was converted into cloth and other physical goods."

Eight thousand taels?

Ten thousand taels?

When I heard this number, the first person to react was Tobe Shangshu Natsuharayoshi.

He is the most sensitive to numbers.

When he heard ten thousand taels, Xia Yuanji's expression was obviously a little excited.

He muttered excitedly: "10,000 taels, 10,000 taels a day, 3.6 million taels a year, and the total tax revenue of the major customs may exceed 10 million taels per year!" ”

"Your Majesty, ten million taels!"

"Ten million taels!"

Xia Yuanji shouted excitedly in the Fengtian Temple, his eyes were already filled with endless joy.

Over the years, the devil knows how difficult it is for him to be the head of the household.

The old man asked for money to fight, and he needed money to build the Yongle ceremony, and the old man also stipulated that no agricultural taxes could be levied, which made Xia Yuanji's situation even more difficult.

Almost after becoming the head of the household, he was worried about money every day.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Now, hearing the tax of 10 million taels, how can Xia Yuanji not be happy, how can he not be excited!

Not only was he excited, but even Yang Shiqi's eyes lit up, touching the few remaining beards, and said excitedly: "Ten million taels ......"
