Chapter 129: Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles
Of course, this also put a lot of pressure on Nanjuyi.
He knew that everything else could be put down now, and the secret decree of the Holy One was the most important thing, and he had to complete it even if he worked hard.
The 200,000 taels of silver that the saint uprooted is not too much, and if a soldier gives ten taels, it will cost almost half of it. No matter how many sailors are dispatched to prepare supplies, there is not much left.
But Nan Juyi had the confidence, without him, he also told him one thing in the secret decree, Xiamen opened the port to trade.
Although it is the only treaty port in the Ming Dynasty, it is in Fujian. However, there is a problem with the tariff policy, and you can only collect tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.
"Strangers from all over the world, all gather in Yuegang", "Merchants of Zhangquan two counties, sell east and west two oceans, and the profits of farmers abound", Haicheng County alone is "even the family and seven... Ten times more than ever".
Looking at this kind of description, it is obviously unprecedented. But Zhu Youxiao took the data of 35,000 taels of silver in the foreign tax, and wanted to cry without tears.
In a year, my Daming's customs collected this money? Or is it a good level of history, and it's too troublesome, right?
Nan Juyi had read the general statute of the Xinshi Boshi Division and thought that it was quite feasible, much stronger than what Yuegang was currently implementing.
Half of the revenue of the Xiamen Municipal Department will be transferred to the Department of Administration, that is, the local finance, for Fujian's coastal defense construction.
Collect a lot and keep a lot, Nan Juyi made a rough calculation, and felt that it was still certain that tens of thousands of taels of military spending would be more than a year.
In addition, Yuegang is located at the mouth of the Jiulong River, which is an inland port, and a large amount of sediment is gradually silting up the port, which is also a major reason for affecting the overseas trade of Yuegang.
Xiamen is good, Xiamen is good!
Nan Juyi asked people to summon civil and military officials to come to the meeting, but he didn't think that there would be any serious consequences for Hongmaoyi's comeback.
Hongmaoyi came all the way to the world, not for trade. Now that the sea ban has been lifted, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do business honestly.
Of course, what the Holy Lord has assigned must be done well, and the task must be exceeded.
Dongfan, looking at the meaning of the saint, is a good place.
When there is another disaster and famine in Fujian, the displaced people will be moved there. It is not only to provide disaster relief and compassion to the people, but also to satisfy the saints, the best of both worlds!
………………
When Shen Yourong walked out of the palace excitedly and movingly, night had fallen.
And he is already the new commander of the East China Sea Division of the Ming Dynasty, plus Shaobao, stationed on Chongming Island.
From Dengzhen to Beijing to the Admiral of the East China Sea, Shen Yourong thought about the experience of the past few days, and suddenly he was in a dream.
After decades of hard work, birth and death, and fighting with the Japanese Kou, the Tartars, and the Jiannu, he became a general soldier.
And in just a few days, not only has the official promotion and power increased, but also the saint has to rely on trust, and I can't believe it even if I think about it.
It's true, though.
Shen Yourong stretched out his hand and brushed the robe he was wearing, which was a flying fish suit given by the saint to symbolize extremely high courtesy, and it was a very high honor that a courtier could get.
First-class python suit, second-class flying fish, third-class bullfighting, fourth-class unicorn.
Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai once got the glory of the royal python suit. Shen Yourong didn't dare to stand side by side with Qi Shuai, and he was already excited and grateful when he got the flying fish suit.
Lian is quite old, can he still eat?
Shen Yourong glanced back at the solemn noon gate, and seemed to see the young emperor's ardent gaze.
He gave a deep salute, his palm fell, and he brushed his long beard under his chin.
Immediately, he straightened his waist, turned around and strode forward, as if to show the emperor that he was still healthy and healthy, and that he could serve the king and the country.
In the Qianqing Palace, the young emperor slowly withdrew his gaze from the outside of the hall, and secretly prayed in his heart: Shen Yourong, the old man is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles, but he can't live up to his hopes.
Regardless of whether or not the Dutch will make a comeback, as they have historically done, a strong sailor, at least to dominate East Asia, is absolutely necessary.
Without a monopoly, where would the huge profits come from? If you can't calm the sea atmosphere, why should you be so bold as to collect protection money?
And if you want to monopolize, you will inevitably have to fight with the Hongmaoyi, let alone with the armed groups that are also merchants and thieves.
If you don't convince others, who can willingly pay for the road; If you can't get out of the way, who will pay you protection money?
I still don't believe it, Zheng Zhilong can rely on this rich country, and I will be so poor that I will be poor.
Of course, if you want to dominate the East China Sea and the South China Sea, you still have to prepare for a few years, and Zhu Youxiao tentatively set it at three years, and no more than five years at most.
Mainly in the five provinces of Sulu, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, it builds sea ships, sea ships, artillery, and artillery; Train sailors and sailors and gunners, and then subdue your opponents one by one.
In this period of preparation, the comprehensive lifting of the sea ban, the crackdown on smuggling, and the increase of income have become relatively important channels for obtaining money.
How much raw silk, silk, porcelain, sugar and other things to be exported from China every year do not need to be carefully calculated, you can know that the tens of thousands of taxes in Yuegang are similar to confiscation.
Since the only treaty port designated by the imperial court, Yuegang, has become a virtual reality, why bother sticking to it and continue to implement the policy of banning the sea?
If smuggling cannot be banned because of the incompetence of the sailors, or the collusion of officials and businessmen, then the sailors should be rectified, and then the source of the goods should be gradually controlled and standardized.
Moreover, with the help of his historical knowledge and the information he obtained from maritime merchants, Zhu Youxiao had already resorted to a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the probability of success was very high.
As for Chinese maritime merchants, Zhu Youxiao's final policy will be to support them to compete with European maritime merchants and even to carry out global trade.
But at this stage, it is necessary to subdue them so that they know that they fear the law of the land, and not just "forget life and death for the sake of profit." Even, he dared to collude with Hongmaoyi, just to make money and make a fortune.
Wang Tiqian entered the hall lightly, saw the emperor turn his eyes, bowed down and played: "It was the female official who came to perform at the order of the queen Chitose, saying that she was unwell in the past few days and could not serve the emperor." ”
Zhu Youxiao just wanted to call the imperial doctor, but he stopped, and after a little thought, he understood the meaning.
The physical discomfort is not because of any illness, but because the queen Zhang Yan has come to relatives, and relatives who come for a few days every month.
It is said that in the previous dynasties, if the concubine was inconvenient, she would put a red dot on her face or something, and the internal officials would not include her in the list of concubines.
The Ming Dynasty did not have the rules for turning over the brand, and there were only three concubines in the palace, which was completely in the emperor's mind, and he could sleep wherever he wanted.
Therefore, when this happened, it is estimated that Zhang Yan was also shy and at a loss, and sent a female official to inform her, saving the emperor from going but losing his interest.
I'm that kind of person, what do I do when I go, can't I do nothing and get a good night's sleep?
"I see." Zhu Youxiao was still a little aggrieved, and instructed Wang Tiqian: "Let the female official tell the queen, rest in peace, and pay attention to your diet." ”
