Chapter 107: Are the young people so brave now?

For the civil and military officials who are now standing in the court, Song Xuan is quite satisfied for the time being.

At least, at the beginning of the new dynasty, the enthusiasm of the hundred officials was very high. As a founding hero, who doesn't want to be famous in history and be praised by future generations?

Maybe in the future, they will be corrupted and will become what they once hated, but at least at this stage, most of those who can stand in the court in the selection of Tsing Yi Wei are good officials with ideals and ambitions.

In fact, the atmosphere in the court was really influenced by the emperor's personal style.

If an emperor thinks not about state affairs all day long, but all kinds of calculations and balances, the civil and military officials under him will definitely do the same, with the main goal of conspiracies and calculations for power and profit.

And for a pragmatic emperor like Song Xuan, the officials under him will naturally move closer in this direction.

Because you are not pragmatic and do not make real achievements, you will not be able to stand firmly in this court, and you will not even be qualified to play or spray the emperor.

doesn't even have a decent performance, where did you dare to stand up and spray the emperor Don't indulge in women?

The emperor is a good woman, which has almost been unanimously recognized by all the officials in the court.

However, for this matter, Baiguan is actually very happy in his heart.

Emperors who are too perfect and too glorious and majestic put too much pressure on them, and an emperor who has personal preferences and even some flaws is more likely to be recognized by them.

It's good to be lustful, and a bad emperor is definitely not a good emperor!

Men are not even good at color, is that still a man?

Li Shanchang and others were very efficient, and the day before yesterday, Song Xuancai asked them to come up with a suitable plan for the imperial examination, and today they proposed a plan for separating the north and the south from the imperial examination.

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

This formula cannot be said to be perfect, after all, nothing can be completely fair, but at least, this formula can be easily implemented without much resistance.

Regarding Li Shanchang's proposal, the ministers had no opinion, and Song Xuan directly ordered it to be implemented.

With the implementation of the imperial examination system, Song Xuan continued: "But there is still a way to play? ”

Finance Minister Hu Qian came out and said: "The minister has the right to play!" ”

Song Xuan bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

Hu Qian said: "Your Majesty issued an order the day before yesterday to build shipyards in Guangdong and Fujian, and specially appointed Tang He as the commander of the navy of the Wu Dynasty..... Is Your Majesty planning to open the sea? ”

Song Xuan said with a smile: "I think that opening the sea to trade and enriching the country and strengthening the people is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, why, Aiqing thinks there is something wrong?" ”

Before Hu Qian could speak, the old man Song Lian spoke first, "Your Majesty, our Wu Dynasty is a big country, why do you need to make a deal with those Fanbang barbarians?"

Those barbarians are all people who do not obey the teachings, if the merchants of our Wu Dynasty have more contact with them, it is inevitable that they will have different intentions, which is not conducive to the rule of the imperial court. ”

Another civil official came out and said: "If Your Majesty wants the magnificent scenery of all countries coming to the court, you can order all the states to pay tribute, why do you need to open the sea for trade, and simply degrade the majesty of my heavenly kingdom?" ”

Song Xuan glanced at Na Wenchen and said, "Your family has a business in shipping?" ”

The civil official shook his head proudly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be suspicious, although the minister was born in Yangzhou, he was also from a poor family, and he has nothing to do with shipping at all. ”

Song Xuan smiled: "Very good, it seems that you have a lot of confidence, then you continue to say, as long as what you say makes sense, I am not unacceptable!" ”

He knew that Kaihai would definitely encounter all kinds of opposition, so he was not surprised, mainly because he wanted to hear what novel reasons these people could say.

"Then the minister let go!"

"Even if we can put down our bodies and trade with the small countries of Fanbang, have you ever thought about the consequences of once the sea is released?

People's hearts are profit-oriented, and opening the sea will inevitably make many people make a lot of money, how can such huge interests not move people's hearts?

At that time, people will be impetuous, everyone will go to business, who will have the stable farming that thinks about their duty?

After the opening of the sea to trade, the silk porcelain and other commodities of our Wu Dynasty will inevitably sell well in all countries, and the people will inevitably destroy the fields and plant mulberry under the profit.

Your Majesty, our Wu Dynasty has just been founded, and the people in many provinces even have a problem with food, and food is the top priority that our Wu Dynasty needs to solve.

At this stage, opening the sea to trade will only exacerbate the food crisis in our Wu Dynasty, if there is another natural disaster or something, Your Majesty, I am afraid that the tragedy of the people leaving their homeland and changing their children to eat will happen again! ”

Song Xuan was silent.

Sometimes you have to admit that although you are a time-traveler, you are not necessarily smarter than these ancient people. For example, he is very clear about the benefits of opening the sea, but he does ignore the disadvantages in front of him.

"What's your name?" Song Xuan looked at the civil official who still looked a little young, he remembered that this person was an official of the Ministry of Justice, and it seemed that Liu Bowen had personally recruited him into the Ministry of Justice.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen Yang Xian, now the Ministry of Justice's six-product inspection envoy!"

"Yang Xian......" Song Xuan took a deep look at this person.

This young man is not an ordinary man, he is capable and courageous, but he is also too eager for quick success. In his memory, it seems that this person was stunned for a moment to deceive Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally ended up peeling off the skin and filling the grass.

But I have to say that just this person's remarks just now can be seen that this person still has the ability and insight.

This is also normal, if he didn't really have the ability, he wouldn't be able to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust at first, and he could even deceive the Ming Taizu who was very suspicious.

"What you say makes sense." Song Xuan said from the goodness: "But there is anything else to say?" ”

Yang Xian said: "Yes! ”

"Well, then you go ahead!"

"The previous minister talked about the food problem, and the next thing I want to talk about is the military problem of our Wu Dynasty after the opening of the sea."

"There are more than 30 coastal areas in our Wu Dynasty, and if the sea is opened, these areas will inevitably have to be garrisoned by sailors, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

There is also the fact that the sailors have been sailing overseas for a long time, and the vast sea is boundless and extremely difficult to control. ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials, who had originally wanted to add a few words, suddenly fell silent one by one.

Many people, including Li Shanchang, showed strange eyes when they looked at Yang Xian.

Is this man so brave?

You said earlier that the food problem and the military expenditure problem are fine, but if you say that occupying the island is the king or something, then the trouble will be big.

This kind of thing can be said in private, and it is directly clarified in the court, isn't this to cause a civil and military dispute!

Sure enough, Lan Yu and the others, who were standing aside and listening to state affairs and were about to take a nap, suddenly showed a look of vigilance.

What the hell, you are noisy and noisy, how can you target our generals again?
