Lan Bin's heart moved, since Zhu Yuanzhang had thought about transferring a fleet from the sailor to the Cherry Blossom Country to verify Iwami Yinshan, and Zhu Biao also agreed, it showed that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao valued Iwami Yinshan very much.

Is it possible to take advantage of this opportunity to incite Zhu Biao to privately set up a fleet to trade with Sakura Country?

In this way, it can not only quietly confirm Iwami's silver mountain, but also open an opening from the sea ban policy in advance.

The most important thing is that trading with the cherry blossom country in these years is like picking up silver, any commodity can be sold in the cherry blossom country, and you can earn several times or dozens of times the profit.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the huge profits of maritime trade, and he was not afraid that he would not be moved.

Thinking about it, he said tentatively: "Cousin, speaking of which, I really have a way, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

"Come on, there are no outsiders here, so don't scruple!" Zhu Biao said busily.

Lan Bin looked left and right cautiously, and then said, "Cousin, I suggest that the private sector form a fleet to trade with the Sakura Country, and use trade as an excuse to actually investigate the Stone Seeing Silver Mountain."

"For one, there is a smuggling fleet in the coastal areas, and there is an extra smuggling fleet, which is not conspicuous. Second, the caravan will transport the goods of the Ming Dynasty to the Sakura Country, and they can earn a lot of silver."

"Three, after the caravan verifies Iwami Ginzan, it can buy Iwami Ginzan in the name of the caravan. Then the imperial court will take back the ownership of Iwami Ginzan from the caravan."

"In this way, the imperial court can justifiably develop Iwami Ginzan. There is nothing to say either within the imperial court or in the surrounding countries."

Have trade relations?

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, although Lan Bin's suggestion was good and thoughtful, it was not a trivial matter to form a fleet from the private sector to trade with the Cherry Blossom Country.

Not to mention that in order to restore the people's livelihood and reassure the people, his father once issued a special decree that he should not go to the sea. It is the imperial court that has reached a consensus on the sea ban and severely cracked down on coastal smuggling.

If a fleet is formed to trade with the Sakura Country, it is easy to encourage smuggling, but once it is discovered, it will not be a small problem.

Thinking about it, he looked at Lan Bin and muttered, "Is there any other way?"

"Cousin, I think it's highly likely that I can do this. Why don't you adopt it?" As soon as Lan Bin heard it, he knew what Zhu Biao meant, but he was unwilling and pretended to be puzzled.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Cousin, you don't know, although your method is good. But my father had decreed that no pieces should enter the sea, and the imperial court has been cracking down on coastal smuggling."

"Forming a fleet to trade with the Sakura Country, even if it is not discovered, once it is discovered, it will be a felony for the Nine Clans."

"Cousin, having said that, you can form a fleet to trade with Sakura Country, not just for trade, but to confirm Iwami Ginzan."

Lan Bin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Besides, if the palace controls most of the fleet, although it is not an official trade, it is similar in nature."

"Even if it's found, it's fine!"

He still didn't say a word, that is, the fleet hung up the palace sign, and gave the sailors who were inspecting overseas smuggling a few dares, and they didn't dare to inspect the fleet.

Zhu Biaogang was a little moved, but immediately shook his head again: "No, the sea ban is a national policy, how can the palace take the lead in violating it?" Where is the law of the court?"

"And the palace taking the lead in overseas trade will also have a very bad impact. How do you restrain others?"

Although Lan Bin knew that Zhu Biao was right, seeing the opportunity slipping away from his eyes, it still made him feel a little unhappy, thought about it, and deliberately said, "Cousin, why don't you do this! If you think it's not suitable for the palace to come forward to form a fleet, then I will come forward to form a fleet."

"The fleet is the same as the glass business, and the palace has the lion's share. I still claim to be my fleet."

"If nothing happens, it's okay, if something happens, it's my head in Yongchang Houfu."

"What do you mean by that? What do you think?"

Zhu Biaogang said something unhappily, suddenly reacted, looked at Lan Bin for a moment, and then said, "Cousin, tell me honestly, what are you planning again?"

"Cousin, look at what you said, I'm one

What can I calculate, little one?" Lan Bin was stunned and said with a smile.

Zhu Biao pouted, it's true that you are a child, but you have more ghost ideas in your stomach than anyone else. And counting people, that's a set.

Don't talk about it, just talk about your Daming Daily.

If you hadn't handed over the first issue of Daming Daily to your father for review, how would my father and I have thought that you gave the Daming Daily to your father in advance in order to pull the tiger skin of your father and block those civil officials who oppose commercial taxes for you.

Thinking about it, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but say seriously: "Cousin, you insist so much on trading with the Sakura Country, do you see the trade on the sea?"

"Nope! The reason why I insisted on trading with Sakura Country was purely because it would be easier to verify Iwami Ginzan!" Lan Bin almost didn't want to deny it.

Just kidding, it has been more than ten years since the maritime ban policy was formulated.

The court reached a unanimous consensus, even if he wanted to pry into the sea ban policy, he could not admit it.

Especially before Zhu Biao and others did not see the benefits of opening the sea.

He didn't want to be alone against the court.

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Bin, very suspicious of Lan Bin's statement, but there was no evidence, and finally said, "Okay! I'll believe you once, and I'll make a decision after discussing it with my father and the emperor when I go back to it!"

"Yes, cousin!" Lan Bin breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to continue to instigate, and nodded.

Zhu Biao said again: "Okay, it's nothing, you can retreat first!"

"Cousin, retire!"

Lan Bin saluted, turned around and walked out of the palace. ……

Two days later, the craftsmen of the glass workshop, with their exquisite skills and several experiments, finally made the first pair of reading glasses in history.

The first time the reading glasses were made, Lan Wu brought them back to Lan Mansion and sent them to Lan Bin.

Lan Bin happily took the reading glasses, looked at the convex lenses of the reading glasses, the simple and delicate wooden frames, and put on the reading glasses to experience the comfort of wearing.

It's the same as the reading glasses I requested, and I couldn't help but nod: "Yes, yes, these are the reading glasses I want!"

"Blue Five, all the craftsmen who participate in the production of reading glasses will be rewarded with one or two silver!"

"Yes, young master!" Lan Wu knew that Lan Bin was generous, and he was not surprised, so he nodded.

After Lan Bin finished checking the reading glasses, he put the reading glasses into the special brocade box, and said, "Also, you will participate in the craftsmen who make reading glasses, organize them, and continue to make reading glasses."

"After the emperor's Halloween, reading glasses became famous, and they sold reading glasses and clothing mirrors together."

"Master, how much do reading glasses cost?" Blue Five asked.
