Chapter 326: Out of the Palace
Fei Hong couldn't convince the two in the end, he was not the boss of Qi Chengsui and Wang Yu, what about Taifu Temple and Shaanxi's horse farm, he couldn't intervene.
In fact, this made it impossible for his tea merchant to carry out his plan.
Because the exchange of silver taels is not only a new link, but also the most core and important link. Only when the silver can be sold, will the common people voluntarily and consciously join in this cycle.
For him, Taifu Temple is the best place to go for horses.
Taifu Temple is now the largest horse merchant, and Yang Ge in the northwest is always his biggest buyer.
But the Divine Decree also says that the army has the right of first refusal.
What is Priority Buying?
i.e. other people can also buy it. Moreover, the purchase of horses by the army is a state act, so it is limited to 221 horses, and they are really sold to the people...... Horses are precious, and thirty taels is fine.
It shows that the emperor wants these people to be self-sufficient, and even if they can't do it, they can reduce the pressure on the treasury.
According to his idea, since there can be horse merchants, there can be tea merchants, tea merchants can of course sell tea, in the Central Plains people see tea is common, can not sell at a high price, and everywhere is tea, Fujian, Jiangxi have tea places, and Sichuan is the concentration of tea and horse market, so he first thought of the tea and horse market.
In fact, it is not impossible if the tea can be sold overseas through the market.
It's just that the shipping cost will be scary. But now everyone knows that sea trade is ten times more profitable.
Maybe you can try it too.
So one side didn't work, so he went to the other side.
Zhejiang-Fujian Governor's Mansion participated in politics, Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren is quite trusted by His Majesty, and he is an acquaintance, so he should be better.
This time it went well.
Going to sea for trade is now fully allowed by the imperial court, and tea is also in demand, so it is indispensable for Wang Shouren.
It's a matter of cost.
"Sichuan is thousands of miles away from the coast, but fortunately, there is water transportation on the Yangtze River, which is not impossible. It's just that it can't be sold at a high price, and no matter what, it will make a lot less profit than the tea merchants in Fujian. ”
Fei Hong's expression was calm, "As long as you can make a profit, the people of Sichuan will be satisfied." Bo'an also knows that the Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and now the Sichuan-Tibet tea road is divided into the south road and the west road, which has to cross the Jinsha River, Dadu River, Minjiang River and other big rivers, and also crosses the high mountains such as Erlang Mountain, so on the contrary, the Yangtze River water transport is lighter and more economical, but the distance is too long. ”
There's no way around it.
Wang Shouren shook his head, "The younger generation means that if you earn less, the businessmen will move to the coast." ”
Fei Hong was stunned, "The governor of Sichuan can't move away, so he can only be in Sichuan." ”
"That'...... If Sichuan tea goes to sea, and the tea and horse trade between Sichuan and Tibet is insufficient, will the tribes in the snow area be unstable? No matter what, it's better to play the emperor. ”
That's right.
“…… As for taking a boat to go to sea, the natural son is full of open mouths, in order to be the people of Sichuan, how can the younger generation be unreasonable? Even if there is a shortage of ships now, some tea can still be loaded. By the way, now the Ming Dynasty ships are the most scarce, and the cargo ships that can be used on the Yangtze River must be prepared in advance. ”
Fei Hong's brows furrowed even more when he heard this.
"Thank you. Alas, now that I think of what His Majesty said is right, I don't know how difficult it is not to do things. It's really sad. Also, I will return to Sichuan in the next few days, and after the court meeting, His Majesty will issue an order to exempt the court, and now it is not easy to report to His Majesty. ”
Wang Shouren thought that Fei Zichong was his father's old acquaintance after all, so he thought about it, "This matter is not impossible." ”
……
So later, on March 8, Zhu Houzhao summoned Fei Hong in the back garden.
He decreed that he would be exempted from three days, so he didn't want to go to the Qianqing Palace anymore, to be honest, it was the palace, and he would get tired of living in it every day.
"Wang Bo'an said, you have important things to see me before leaving Beijing. Today, I originally issued a decree to exempt the court, but I am the king of a country, ruling over the millions of people in the world...... Well, tell me what you have to do. ”
Fei Hong deeply admired the emperor in his heart,
Then I carefully talked about the results of this day's running.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about it at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt it.
Not to mention, Fei Hong is trying to keep up with his ideas.
Young people are still different, if you want Liu Jian to study these, it is better to expect the sun to come out of the west tomorrow.
“…… Do you have to make money when you go to sea? ”
Fei Hongzhen can't answer this question.
"Back to Your Majesty, Haimao Weichen really doesn't understand, but I heard that the profit from going to sea is ten times greater, and the minister feels that he should also make money by throwing away the cost of traveling."
Because of the exemption from the court, Zhu Houzhao wore a loose blue robe, and his hair was tied up at the roots, and then naturally hung down on his back. The whole person is a bit like a suave son, dangling in front of Fei Hong's eyes.
"I heard that this is the case, but it is not necessarily true, otherwise if the goods of a million taels of silver go out, wouldn't I have earned 10 million taels in the blink of an eye?" The Emperor touched his nose, "I appreciate your idea. The so-called adaptation to local conditions, in those places in Ya'an, the people can't grow food but can only grow tea, and you, as a parent official, have to find a way for them, no matter whether you can do it in the future or not, just this heart is worthy of praise. ”
"But then again, if you collect the people's tea and go to sea, it must not be one catty or two, it must be tens of thousands of catties or even hundreds of thousands of catties. So I thought that although I couldn't make a move, I couldn't turn around too quickly. Taifu Temple doesn't want your horse, so you can sell it to the people, so why not? There is a shortage of horses everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, the people are withdrawing, the officials and herdsmen have to supply the army, and the people have to use mules, are you still afraid that the horses will not be sold? ”
"As for tea going to sea, you can try it first, you have to do it, and next time you will increase it, if you don't have it, you will have to do it, and the loss will be less."
Fei Hong nodded, the emperor was still more able to make up his mind than him.
“…… Your Majesty, Wang Bo'an also mentioned that if the real tea goes to sea leads to a decrease in the amount of tea traded with the snow area, it may cause border conflicts. ”
Zhu Houzhao blinked, he didn't know what these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty thought, "Fei Zichong, whether Daming sells his tea or not, it still depends on his face?" If they had that strength, they would have occupied Sichuan and picked tea by themselves! If you have tea, sell it to him, and if you don't have tea, let them pay a high price! When we are short of horses, don't they raise the price of horses? ”
A bunch of hypochondriasis!
"Your Majesty's anger, it's Weichen's improper thinking."
"Forget it, it wasn't a big deal. Get up. Zhu Houzhao was originally exempt from resting and didn't want to worry about these, "It's rare for you to relieve the people's worries." In addition, after returning to Sichuan, we should still pay attention to agriculture and mulberry, and there should be a lot of arable land in Sichuan. If it's because of a lack of people, I can make an order to immigrate to Shicheon! ”
The emperor mentioned this again, Fei Hong felt the pressure in his heart increase, it seems that the country of abundance does not produce a large amount of grain, which is indeed a knot in His Majesty's heart.
"Yes, after Weichen goes back, he will definitely run Sichuan wholeheartedly and build it into a big granary!"
"Don't squeeze the people for the sake of taxes and grain, Fei Aiqing, you have to remember that you are the champion of the Ming Dynasty and a disciple of a saint."
"Wechen remember His Majesty's teachings."
"Well, then step aside."
"Yes."
Looking at Fei Hong, Zhu Houzhao was a little happy.
This person is young and can be used further in the future.
The background is hard, and the work is okay.
What makes him happiest is that Fei Hong's body shows the shadow of the magistrate he wants to see the most, that is, trying to create benefits for the people.
And trying to comprehend his train of thought.
If what he gradually created was a state-owned enterprise, then what Fei Hong slowly got out was a provincial state-owned enterprise.
He does not support, oppose, or speak out about this matter.
After all, if you support literati and businessmen too much, this matter is still prone to chaos.
But Fei Hong went to the palace, and Qi Chengsui and Wang Yu were very worried.
Fei Zichong was a high-ranking official who patrolled a province at the age of thirty-nine, which shows that the emperor still trusts him a lot, and judging from his past resume, this person was first in Zhan Shifu, and then caught up with the general trend of the prince's henchmen going out of Beijing to experience training, and has served in Huguang, Sichuan and other places for a long time over the years.
So whatever he said, the emperor basically believed most of it.
I don't know if Fei Zichong sued them, anyway, no matter what it is, write a note and send it to the palace to ask for guilt.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was so busy and happy that he didn't think about them at all. It is normal for officials to fail to coordinate with each other, and each has its own concerns.
……
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling today?"
"Hui Mei nobleman. There should be a happy event today, and now I am in a good mood. ”
"That's excellent." Mei Huai smiled and showed joy after hearing this.
The emperor gave them a decree to allow their mother to visit the palace, and she and her sister actually came to thank her.
Led by the eunuchs, they walked through the rockery bamboo forest, and soon met the emperor in front of a pavilion.
The emperor was lying on a bamboo rocking chair with a relaxed expression.
After that, they went over and kowtowed to thank him.
Zhu Houzhao asked: "It's only been half a day, and you sent people away?" ”
"My mother said, Your Majesty is a gift, but we can't be pampered and proud as concubines, and the concubines and sisters are already Your Majesty's people, and Your Majesty will be our heaven in the future. There is a folk saying that the daughter who marries out ......"
"Spilled water. I know. Zhu Houzhao was used to the people around him making this gesture to him, the emperor, so he didn't say much, "Get up." ”
"The concubine rubbed His Majesty's legs, right?"
"No, I'm young, and when I can't take a step, it's not too late to thrash. Go back first, I don't need you to serve here. Next time, you don't have to thank you like this, if you want to see your mother, you can come to ask for it, and I will answer it unless there are special circumstances. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the concubine will retire."
Zhu Houzhao nodded.
When everyone was gone, the emperor swayed back and forth out of boredom.
He turned his head and glanced at Liu Jin, and the corners of Liu Jin's mouth twitched like a wry smile when he showed him, as if to say, don't you......
"Your Majesty......"
Zhu Houzhao didn't care what kind of expression he had, "Go and arrange it!" ”
"Yes!"
No matter how prosperous the Forbidden City is, it's still boring to stay too much. Besides, how long has he not been out of the palace?

Confirmed friends.
Don't say anything, let's just code words to make money. The book starts at three million words.
It's not that masks hurt, but I didn't expect me to be so strong.
