To be honest, Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a long time about whether to propose this strategy.

Because now in Fujian, he is the most powerful, if the sea ban is opened and the imperial court is in charge of trade, then this can only be done by him.

In the coastal areas, those smugglers have a huge power, and many of them are families that have been inherited for at least a hundred years, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty has been forbidden to the sea has a lot to do with them.

Every time an emperor wants to open the sea, they are obstructing it, and even many high-powered ministers are from their faction.

Although these people are taken by his current power and honestly do things according to his rules, if the imperial court is allowed to control the trade power and let him preside over it, these people will definitely gain power when they have the opportunity.

Even if Lao Zhu can withstand their pressure, for the sake of profit, they will secretly fornicate with those foreigners, so Zheng Zhilong must have enough rights to directly destroy them.

Otherwise, he will always guard against them, no matter how strong Zheng Zhilong's strength is, he can't stop it.

It's just that moving them involves too much, and the main thing is that once they are moved, Fujian will completely become Zheng Zhilong's hall.

Although Zheng Zhilong had no selfish intentions when he said this, he was worried that Lao Zhu would think that he wanted to eliminate dissidents, so he proposed this strategy.

Therefore, he hesitated for a long time, but other than that, he had no other way, so he had to say it head-on, as for what Lao Zhu thought, he didn't care.

"The imperial court controls the right to trade......

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment, and instantly understood the cleverness of this strategy.

The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, silk including tea, has always been a high-end commodity.

Although there have been people who have bypassed the imperial court's sea ban and sold these things overseas, the smuggled goods are generally those ordinary goods, and the number of real fine goods is very small.

For example, the silk used by the emperor, the porcelain used by the emperor or something, these things basically did not flow out much.

This has led to the fact that the prices of these treasures are ridiculously high overseas.

If those overseas merchants can get these treasures and sell them, even if it is only a small part, the profit can be compared to their trips to the sea.

And more importantly, as a powerful empire, the Ming Dynasty is also a symbol of strength among overseas countries.

Therefore, being able to get the imperial treasures of the Ming Dynasty can bring them not only wealth, but also status.

Therefore, for the sake of these treasures, these merchants will definitely try their best to deliver grain to Daming, just to compete for the qualification to buy treasures.

Even if Lao Zhu Ruo's heart is a little darker, he directly divides the royal things into three, six, nine and so on, then these overseas businessmen are simply pieces of meat on the chopping board, and let him slaughter them.

At that time, Lao Zhu will not only be able to harvest a large amount of grain, but also quickly fill the treasury through the sale of these treasures.

However, in addition to the advantages, there are also many hidden dangers in these things, although Zheng Zhilong didn't say it, but with Lao Zhu's eyes, he can naturally figure it out at once.

For example, after giving Zheng Zhilong power, Zheng Zhilong is likely to build the land of Fujian and Guangdong into a hall of words, and there will be no king at that time, which is better than a king.

And in addition to this, there is also the problem of those wealthy families, who have been inherited for many years and have long regarded shipping as meat in their bowls.

Taken by Zheng Zhilong's forces before, they were not Zheng Zhilong's opponents, plus Zheng Zhilong charged by the boat, treating them equally, and did not completely cut off their financial routes, so they pinched their noses and recognized Zheng Zhilong's rules.

But if Zheng Zhilong wants to gain the support of the imperial court, really become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and enter the rules of the Ming Dynasty, then they have a way.

What's more, after the unification of trade rights, it not only means that the imperial court will encroach on their export share, but also means that they will have to pay another tax to the imperial court.

The commercial tax set by the imperial court was one out of thirty, and although it was already very low, they were definitely unwilling to give it.

These wealthy families, relying on their own power, would rather give money to Zheng Zhilong, a pirate who can't communicate, than to give money to the imperial court.

And these people have huge forces, and they are all connected with each other, and they are not Zheng Zhilong's opponents on the front, but it is not necessary to start from behind.

For example, they let their ministers make trouble in the court and resist this policy, and for example, they directly attacked the imperial supplies, stuck the throat of the imperial court, so that the imperial court had no extra imperial supplies to sell to the outside world.

In short, these people can't do things, but if you want to talk about playing with the rules, then they are too good.

And the most important point is that the power of these people is huge, and once they are moved, it is easy to cause a chain reaction.

Lao Zhu thought about it in his heart for a while, and finally decided to let Zheng Zhilong kill those bastards.

No matter how strong Zheng Zhilong's power is, his main foundation is still on the sea, if he has two hearts, Lao Zhu is confident that he can completely destroy his power on land and drive him back to the sea.

And once he loses the roots of the land, Zheng Zhilong will become the rootless duckweed he is now.

No, without the identity of the chief soldier, he will only be even worse than now, and Lao Zhu will only lose a powerful naval army at most.

What's more, Lao Zhu believes that Zheng Zhilong is a smart person, and he will know what to do and what not to do.

The King of Minhai that he promised him is already a certainty, and he will definitely not move those thoughts that should not be moved.

As for the huge strength of those people, Lao Zhu didn't take it to heart, the situation in Daming has actually reached the point where it is difficult to return.

YY

After the internal and external troubles have calmed down a little, Lao Zhu will inevitably change the law, and the people Zheng Zhilong wants to kill are actually the targets of Lao Zhu's elimination in the future, but because of their lack of strength, they will not be moved for the time being.

And now, since Zheng Zhilong wants to do it directly, and he still has enough strength, then the change should simply start from the Fujian and Guangdong regions.

Seeing that Lao Zhu had been silent, Zheng Zhilong was a little panicked, and just as he wanted to say something to relieve the tension in his heart, Lao Zhu spoke.

"It is indeed feasible to open the sea ban and let the imperial court take control of trade."

Lao Zhu nodded slowly, and then said: "As for those smugglers, those who are obedient will keep them, and those who are disobedient will be killed, this is up to you, since we use you, we will not suspect you, you can rest assured." ”

"But then, the original governor will have to be replaced."

Lao Zhu thought for a moment and said: "Since you have decided to do it, then simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so the new governor is not obedient enough, and he has to dare to kill." ”

"Let's go back and think about who is more appropriate to be your governor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this, with Lao Zhu's words, then all his actions in the land of Fujian and Guangdong would not be restricted.

As for Lao Zhu saying that he would send him a capable governor, he didn't take it to heart, not to mention that this governor came to help him, if this governor was relatively capable, even if he listened to him.

After all, at this time, he was bent on expanding the navy, so as to establish meritorious service as soon as possible, so that he could become the king of Minhai promised to him by Lao Zhu, and he had no other thoughts at all.

After finalizing the matter, Lao Zhu discussed the specific details with Zheng Zhilong, and it was not until the sky gradually became dark that the two finished the discussion.

After leaving the palace, Zheng Zhilong's mind couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Originally, before entering the palace this time, he had made up his mind, whether the emperor asked him for someone or asked him for money, he would never come out.

As a result, after he came out of the palace, not only did he have to contribute money, but even he himself completely fell to the emperor and wanted to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

This result was very different from what he had expected, and it made Zheng Zhilong feel like he had been fooled for a while.

But thinking about the position of the king of the Fujian Sea, Zheng Zhilong's heart instantly became hot.

For the sake of this throne with a different surname, let alone being fooled, even if he filled in his net worth and life, he would not hesitate to do anything!

And in addition to that, there is......

"In the future, if anyone dares to tell me that this is a mediocre master, I will not be able to whip him with a big ear scraper!"

Zheng Zhilong thought of this outrageous rumor, and couldn't help but scold hatefully in his heart.

Although he didn't know how Da Ming was made like this, with this person's skill and mind, it was impossible for him to be a mediocre master.

Originally, Da Ming was crumbling, and Zheng Zhilong would not be tied to Da Ming at this juncture, but after seeing Lao Zhu, he not only changed his mind, but even himself completely surrendered to Lao Zhu.

The reason why he made such a decision was because he believed that with this person's ability, it would be absolutely easy to clean up the Ming Dynasty!

"In this world, there are still outstanding people."

Zheng Zhilong recalled Lao Zhu's bearing in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had always heard people talk about the emperor's appearance and emperor's bearing, but he never believed it very much.

After all, in his opinion, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, and even the emperor will not be more special than others.

But now, he believes that the emperor is different from others, although he doesn't know if it is the so-called imperial qi, but he knows that Lao Zhu's bearing is beyond his reach in his life.

Zheng Zhilong stood outside the palace and sighed for a while, then went straight back to his residence.

And inside the palace, Lao Zhu was closing his eyes and thinking about something.

"In addition to Fujian and Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang also have to send people over."

Lao Zhu gently rubbed his eyebrows and thought slowly in his heart.

If you talk about silk fabrics in the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely not be able to bypass the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so after Zheng Zhilong takes the trade right in his hands, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will inevitably be affected.

What Lao Zhu is worried about is that the forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after perceiving the profits of silk fabrics, will join hands to maliciously raise the purchase price of the imperial court, so as to enrich their own pockets.

In other words, it's not worry, but Lao Zhu believes that these people can definitely do this kind of thing.

After all, these forces have long been accustomed to taking ninety percent no matter what they do, and then giving half of it to the imperial court.

With such a big profit from overseas trade, Lao Zhu didn't believe it, these people might give up even if they died.

Therefore, he had to send a talented governor to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and he didn't need this governor to do anything to those local forces, and this was not realistic.

After all, those forces are deeply entrenched in the local area, and they cannot be easily solved by sending a governor.

Therefore, Lao Zhu only needs him to find out the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when Lao Zhu frees his hand, he can directly slaughter those big clans, without having to review and clean up little by little.

"Fujian and Guangdong are easy to do, but it's a big deal to let Luo Yangxing go up first."

"But here in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it's a little difficult to do......"
