The treasures that Zheng He brought back every time he went to the West brought huge profits to the royal treasury and treasury.

Even the most criticized tribute for spending money to save face, it seems that the Ming Dynasty suffers a loss, but if you taste it carefully, there is a lot of way to it.

First of all, it is necessary to make it clear that the bargaining power of the tributary is in whose hands?

There is no doubt who is the owner and who is the dog, at a glance.

Since the bargaining power is in the hands of Da Ming, how much is this thing worth, naturally Da Ming has the final say.

For example, the war horses that the Ming Dynasty asked Wara to pay tribute, and the gold and silver, tea, porcelain, silk and so on that the Ming Dynasty gave back.

For the salt, iron, etc., which were urgently needed by Warat, the Ming Zeka was extremely strict.

I don't know how much silk is more valuable than iron, but in the steppe, what the Warat people want is salt and iron.

It's like the story of the gun and the pocket watch, no one can come to your house and beat you and your family, you take out the pocket watch and tell him what time it is.

Da Ming is not stupid, salt and iron are the two most important hole cards of Da Ming to the grassland, after all, you will just enjoy giving you silk, but if you give you iron tools, you will come to fight me.

Besides, silk is worth a lot, in exchange for a few war horses for you, even if I suffer a loss, I will be in the heavens, I will admit it.

The Warat people are not stupid, since the Ming Dynasty is like this, Warat also did something on the tribute warhorse.

Gelding, inferior horses, I can't let you build a more powerful cavalry to beat me.

In the end, both sides felt that they had been deceived and suffered a loss, and secretly held back their strength to teach the other side a lesson.

In contrast, Western Overseas is much better.

There are many treasures paid tribute by Western countries, although the Ming Dynasty rewarded gold and silver, but more silk, porcelain and so on.

Are these worth the money?

Of course, it is valuable, especially the one that the Ming Dynasty rewarded to the countries of Fanbang, it is even more boutique.

So this price is five times or ten times higher than the market, and it's not a big deal.

Fortunately, the silk, porcelain, tea, etc. of the Ming Dynasty were sought after in the West, and these things were naturally transported back to the West to make a lot of money.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty turned a blind eye to the behavior of envoys from various countries carrying some private goods, so that they could earn a lot of money, and overseas countries certainly felt that the tribute was very cost-effective.

As a result, Daming and overseas can almost be said to be a win-win situation.

Say almost, and naturally there will be exceptions.

The Japanese people who have lived a good life are this exception.

These dog things are actually embarrassed to hold dwarfs one by one, or those things are said to be tribute at will, and they say with a shy face that the country is bitter and cold, and the property is poor, and then they come to Daming to ask for rewards.

Such a dog, Da Ming can't bear it.

Since there are so many benefits overseas, if the sea is opened, wouldn't it be ......

Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart, Emperor Gao, the old ancestor, probably would not have thought that he had a sea ban policy to protect the territory and the people, in order to prevent pirates from rebelling, and finally became a tight spell on the heads of his descendants.

The law of the ancestors, the law of the ancestors, this has become the best constraint for the civil officials on the emperors of the later dynasties.

After all, if you don't even pay attention to Taizu's words, can you, the emperor, still be a Ming Jun?

Therefore, even the most rebellious Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao did not dare to do such a thing as opening the sea.

Even the fearless Yongle Emperor did not dare to openly oppose his Lao Tzu's words, but played the name of promoting national prestige, and earned some silver by the way.

Zhu Qizhen can only use the name of emulating Taizong and take one step at a time.

These days, there are difficulties in the selection of the governor and the general army of Liaodong, but among the civil officials and nobles, especially among the civilian officials, people avoid them.

If it is ordinary, a governor, a general soldier, I don't know how many people have to fight for the head of the blood, the words spoken in the court in front of the people's house, the traffic, what students, subordinates, walking all kinds of unexpected relationships.

But this time, it's a lot of things.

Liaodong, that's Guannei, who wants to go to that kind of place to suffer?

Having said that, Liaodong is now a hot potato.

Just experienced a big defeat, Your Majesty is angry about it, Shen Yi, Cao Yi has been degraded several levels, that is a lesson from the past.

His Majesty's court pushed the governor of Liaodong and the general army, naturally in order to rectify the status quo in Liaodong.

But the situation in Liaodong, many people are very clear in their hearts.

Whoever goes to Liaodong now is sitting on the brazier, and he may not be able to set himself on fire, but he will end up with a fate that is not as good as Shen Cao and the others.

Of course, there are also some people who want to speculate and soar to the sky, but they are all goods that make people shake their heads.

For example, Qiu Quan, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, has been hovering at the threshold of Sipin for five or six years, and has been circling in various departments.

Now this Qiu Quan is going the opposite way, taking this hot potato as a stepping stone to step into the ranks of the top three high-ranking officials, and taking the initiative to ask for help by virtue of his private friendship with Wang Ao.

Wang Ao shook his head straightly when he heard this, this is not as good as Shen Yi, at least he is still serving in various places, and Qiu Quan is obviously a Beijing official who has never been out of Beijing, how can he be qualified for the post of governor of Liaodong.

All of this was reported to Zhu Qizhen by Jinyiwei and Dongchang in detail.

Zhu Qizhen is not surprised by this result, he already has the best candidate.

At the next court meeting, the first thing to be decided is the candidate for the post of governor and chief soldier of Liaodong.

Wang Ao's lips have been blistering at the top of his lungs for the past few days.

Kuang Wei sighed lightly and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Minister Kuang Wei, I am willing to serve in Liaodong and praise Li to rectify military affairs." ”

There was a whisper of discussion in the Fengtian Palace, and everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that Kuang Yu actually took the initiative to ask to go to Liaodong.

You must know that the general governor is just a royal history, the title of squire, and he serves as a local official with a third-grade official.

And this additional title doesn't matter, it doesn't mean that you add the squire of the military department to manage the affairs of the military department.

Kuang Yu, that's the head of the Eight Classics, the head of the military department.

The military department is still the governor of Liaodong, which is the use of demotion.

Kuang Yu: There is no way to do it.

The governor of Liaodong is a person who knows the soldiers and has prestige in the army, otherwise, he will not be able to do things in Liaodong and will not be able to stabilize the field.

Count and count, and now you can only save the emergency yourself.

If Kuang Yu really served as the governor of Liaodong as the secretary of the military department, I am afraid it will be the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that even Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou in later generations served as governors as the secretary of the Ministry of War, in charge of several provinces, and controlled the governor.

Not to mention that they were all in the book, and there was a real military department secretary in the Beijing division at that time.

In contrast, if Zhu Qizhen agreed, Kuang Yu was afraid that he would become the highest-powered governor of Liaodong in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
