Although they still don't know where their emperor wants to bring back such a shipload of gold and silver, since the emperor said so and did it, then this matter definitely did not run.

A shipload of gold and silver.

Thinking of bringing back gold and silver from ships the size of the fleet under the command of Na Mabao, even if they were courtiers, it was difficult to calm their hearts.

However, now that it is clear why the emperor built the sea ship, Yang Shiqi and the others are still interested, and they did not chase after them to ask for details, but respectfully bowed to Zhu Zhanji and left on an errand.

And at this time, in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the courtiers who left, and he was in a very good mood.

It's done.

Although the death of the old man and his own father caught him off guard, he suffered a lot of crimes to stabilize the situation.

But now that we have mastered the situation, things are getting smoother.

Especially this time, the fifth child was ordered to go to Dongying.

Although Zhu Zhanji's request to the fifth child was to take down Ishimi's place, in fact, Zhu Zhanji also knew in his heart that the other party would definitely not agree to such a thing as asking for the other party's land.

So he is ready for this defeat of the old five.

Of course, even if he fails, this trip will not run in vain, at least it will allow him to know something about the internal situation in Dongying, so that he can send troops over.

didn't expect that this old five was really good.

With the cooperation of that Ma Bao, he really took down the Ishimi.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about the methods he used in this process, all he wanted was Iwami's place.

Of course, the endless supply of gold and silver was not his ultimate goal.

Gold and silver, precious metals, as long as enough for the world to exchange, is enough.

As for how many, it really doesn't really make much difference.

According to the speed of silver inflow in the Ming Dynasty in history, even if there is countless silver, and even a silver shortage in Europe, so what.

It didn't work.

This silver was not a substantial productive force, nor did it directly bring any development to the dynasty.

Its only function is the property of money.

Although there is a demand in industry, this demand does not need to be used so much at all.

Therefore, silver and gold, to put it bluntly, are still more valuable than the actual value of money.

According to Zhu Zhanji's plan, he wanted so much silver and gold just to increase the value of the currency he promoted.

By pegging to silver and gold, the value of the currency he promoted could be stable for a long time.

And this method lasted for a period of time, when the currency he promoted within the Ming Dynasty was officially accepted by the people, and its own transaction value was maintained through continuous allocation.

It doesn't matter if it's pegged to gold and silver.

After the currency promoted by the Ming Dynasty itself occupied the dominance of the economic market, he could use financial and economic means like those of later generations to dominate the direction of the entire market.

It's like real estate in the future.

Through the imperial court's decrees, all the money in the market was forced to flow into this industry, and then the development of this industry was promoted.

In this way, it can not only solve the problem of people's housing, but also solve the problem of infrastructure construction of the imperial court.

In a short period of time, the whole country has progressed from a poor agricultural country to a modern metropolis.

Although the real estate industry certainly has its criticisms, it has to be said that this decree itself still has its value.

The excellent, convenient infrastructure and living environment are largely brought about by the development of real estate.

After all, the imperial court does not sell land, where does the money come from to do these things.

It is only a three-way way, if it is perfected according to the conventional method, with the vast land area within the Ming Dynasty and the difficulty of construction, there is no hundreds of years, where to get so much money and manpower and material resources to improve.

After all, the imperial court itself does not create value.

The attribute of the imperial court is the role of allocating the productive forces of society.

In other words, it's about concentrating energy and resources on big things.

Now Zhu Zhanji wants to do the same.

Through financial and economic means, the imperial court has the ability to allocate the productive forces of the people in the world.

In other words, in this case, the court can get as much money as the people want.

Of course, no one in power can do that thing.

And this kind of ability has never been reached by any dynasty in the history of China.

It is also doomed that the dynasty under that system and system will not be able to complete the industrial revolution.

This is also the fundamental reason why many people in later generations said that under the system of feudal dynasties, it was impossible to give birth to the industrial revolution.

Because the emperor of the imperial court, as the ruler of the dynasty, he himself does not have the ability to allocate the resources of the world.

How to promote the industrial revolution in the country.

This point can still be corroborated by the difficulty of changing rice to mulberry in a TV series of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Just imagine, it is so difficult for the emperor's court to stop planting rice in the south to grow silkworms.

What's more, the proportion of the entire agriculture has been reduced and tilted towards industry.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to achieve until the imperial court has complete control over the world.

Even if you have all the necessary ingredients for the Industrial Revolution.

Still not possible.

And the reason why the West can complete the industrial revolution under such circumstances is because of the special social form of the West.

To put it more simply, in the early stage of the industrial revolution, before achieving technological success and even industrial perfection, there must be a great price.

For example, the musket thing.

In the West, he may be the private property of a certain family.

It can bring him great benefits after completion.

But in the East, Lao Zhu said that such an awesome existence is not allowed.

In other words, in the East, there would not be any nobles and nobles who would spend such a large price to do something that would definitely be picked in the end.

Rather than spending so much money on these things, it is better to find a way to crawl around in officialdom.

Even Western capitalism in later generations was protected by national laws.

It's as if it were a truth that the East has written the rights and interests of the people into its constitution.

This is also the most essential difference between the two sides.

So at the beginning, when he understood these truths, Zhu Zhanji never thought of relying on his own ability to promote the industrial revolution alone.

Not to mention whether it will succeed or not.

Even if it is done with the help of the system.

He, Zhu Zhanji, is a royal family, and no one will come to pick peaches.

But in this way, their old Zhu family, or the royal family, has really become the biggest landlord in the world.

Zhu Zhanji still won't do this kind of perverse thing.

Because this is a manifestation of the regression of the entire social form of the Ming Dynasty.

It must not be successful.

Even if there will be no problems in his generation, in the next generation, he will definitely be overthrown.

And this time, the reason why Zhu Zhanji asked the imperial court to do its best to build sea ships in a short period of time was that in addition to using these sea ships to pull gold and silver, it naturally had other functions.

In order to carry out the industrial revolution, it is necessary to open up trade.

Because this is the way to realize the need for industrial capacity to be realized.

It is also something that must be in the process of the industrial revolution.

The influx of raw materials and the outflow of finished products must be carried out by means of trade.

And as in later generations, sea roads are naturally the cheapest and most convenient option.

Therefore, the construction of a large number of sea vessels is indispensable and a top priority at present.

In addition, after the completion of a large number of sea ships, the construction of sea ships within the Ming Dynasty will gradually form a mature industry.

And in addition to sea vessels, there is a lot more to be done.

The port, the warehouse where the goods are stored, the passage to and from the port.

As well as various economic problems on this line, Zhu Zhanji urgently needs to solve them in the future.

Thinking of these, Zhu Zhanji gradually fell into contemplation.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhu Zhanji has even forgotten that today is the day he ascended the throne.

It wasn't until Zhao Quan, who was outside the door, looked at the hour and knew that he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he risked being reprimanded by Zhu Zhanji and walked in to remind him.

It was only at this time that Zhu Zhanji came back to his senses from thinking about the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty.

"Is it time?"

Zhao Quan, who was beside him, hurriedly nodded.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji said, "Let people in." ”

"Yes."

After Zhao Quan left, the palace maids outside the hall also walked in again.

After changing Zhu Zhanji into a brand-new dragon robe, he immediately sent the order to Fengtian Hall to prepare.

As the person in charge of this enthronement ceremony, although Yang Shiqi was sent by Zhu Zhanji on an errand just now, he still attaches great importance to this enthronement ceremony.

The entire enthronement ceremony was under his auspices, and everyone was ready.

After Zhu Zhanji's side is done, the entire enthronement ceremony will start according to the scheduled time.

At this time, Yang Shiqi, who was preparing everything in the Fengtian Palace, started the enthronement ceremony as soon as he received the news from the Qianqing Palace.

As the first ceremony was almost completed, Zhu Zhanji, who was about to ascend the throne, came to the Fengtian Palace.

According to the previously set process, according to the ancient rites, Zhu Zhanji's enthronement ceremony began.

After the whole tedious process is over.

As the emperor, Zhu Zhanji can only be regarded as the emperor after completing the sacrifice to the sky.

However, this time Zhu Zhanji did not plan to go to Mount Tai.

didn't go to the Purple Mountain to worship the sky like his grandfather.

Instead, according to the predetermined process, he came to a clearing outside the palace.

This is the only way to get to the palace.

It is also the place where the royal palace and the people are linked.

At this time, at the gate of this palace, countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were already waiting here, guarding the entire scene without leaking.

At the same time, outside this whole open space, there are countless people who came to see the excitement.

Of course, this is also something that is prepared in advance.

With Zhu Zhanji leading hundreds of officials here, all the officials behind him stopped, and only Zhu Zhanji continued to walk forward.

Before and after coming to the towering building covered with red cloth in front of the palace, Zhu Zhanji slowly stopped.

Then he turned and looked around.

Around him, almost all the military generals and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have arrived.

Even those royal clansmen have arrived.

Among them are Zhu Zhanji's second and third uncles.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Zhanji shouted loudly: "Since the beginning of history, the land of China has been ruled by three emperors, and it has been thousands of years now. ”

"During this period, there were prosperous times, troubled times, and the dark ages of China, and the Han bloodline was almost extinct."

"But my Chinese heritage is still endless."

"Why?"

As Zhu Zhanji said this question, he stopped and slowly climbed onto the stone platform of this towering building.

Then he looked at the surrounding civil and military generals and ordinary soldiers, and said in a firm tone: "It's because I have a group of righteous warriors in China!" ”

"Every time when I am in danger in China, I turn the tide and help the building to fall!"

"Go ahead!"

"It is said that the emperor is the reincarnation of the dragon, the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the dynasty he built also has the protection of the gods in the sky, but I think it's not."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head, and then continued to look directly at everyone around him.

"If there are really any heavenly gods and Buddhas who protect the people of this world, where does the flood and drought come from, and why don't you see the Ten Thousand Years Dynasty?"

"Therefore, there are no gods and Buddhas in this world at all, and it is not any gods and Buddhas who have taken care of my Chinese inheritance to this day, but those warriors and heroes who have gone forward and died for the sake of their family and country!"

"Today is the day I ascend the throne."

"It is the day when they took over this country from the hands of those who came before them."

"However, I do not worship the heavens, nor do I worship my ancestors."

"What I want to worship are these warriors who are willing to die for the country, and those heroes who are in China, when the country is in danger, who turn the tide and support the building that will fall!"

The voice fell.

Zhu Zhanji and several guards around him pulled down the red cloth covering the huge building.

With the fall of the red cloth, a giant monument-like building instantly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The eyes of everyone around them also showed a look of shock with the appearance of the giant building.

On the four sides of the monument, countless dense characters are carved.

From a distance, you can't see it clearly.

It was also at this time that Zhu Zhanji's voice sounded again.

"On this huge monument, the names of the heroes of all dynasties and dynasties who sheltered me in China are engraved."

"Some are Han people, some are not Han people, all those who have contributed to my China, regardless of blood, are carved on it."

"Today, in the name of the Ming Emperor, I make an agreement with the monarch of later generations and the monarch of later dynasties."

"This monument represents my Chinese heritage, whether the Ming Dynasty exists or not, this monument will always stand here."

"Today, on behalf of hundreds of millions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty, I pay tribute to the martyrs in front of the monument!"

The voice fell.

The surrounding guards carried what they needed to the monument.

At the same time, Yang Shiqi took the lead in speaking: "Minister, worship with the emperor!" ”

After Yang Shiqi finished shouting, the courtiers around him who knew about it also followed.

"Minister, worship with the emperor!"

"Minister, worship with the emperor!"

“.”

Those unwitting courtiers also hurriedly followed at this time.

"Minister, worship with the emperor!"

"Minister, worship with the emperor!"

“.”

The same goes for the generals around me.

"The last general, worship with the emperor!"

"The last general, worship with the emperor!"

“.”

The surrounding people, who had been watching the excitement, also seemed to suddenly understand something at this time, just like those officials, they began to bow down to the giant monument, shouting: "Grass people, worship with the emperor!" ”

"Grass people, worship with the emperor!"

"Grass people, worship with the emperor!"

“.”

The sound of brushing filled the sky in front of the entire palace.
