Zhu Yijun has only released a signal that he will not abolish the New Deal and continue to reform the system, but the big bureaucrats and big landowners in the world are still skeptical or opposed to the emperor's holy will to only allow them to seek foreign benefits, but not to allow them to abolish the New Deal and wantonly merge and exploit the domestic people through lending and other means.

After all, the strong inertia of the small-scale peasant economy cannot be changed by the emperor with a single signal.

More needs to be done to get the big bureaucrats and big landlords to get rid of the habit of preferring to exploit their own people rather than expand abroad and make a technological revolution.

Including Zhu Yijun himself, the emperor.

He had many imperial concubines and palace maids to support, and he also had the loyalty of a large group of domestic slaves to maintain, and he needed a large amount of money to satisfy his luxurious and comfortable life, and he needed enough gold and silver to maintain the morale of the army.

In addition, if Zhu Yijun wants not to suddenly catch fire in the harem or be strangled by someone suddenly because he is not sleeping because he does not have enough money, he has to find a way to make money.

Undoubtedly, it was most convenient to increase the rent from the tenant farmers of the imperial village, or to open the imperial shop to take the profits of the small traders, or even to take the silver directly from the state treasury, so that the foreign bureaucrats themselves could find a way to increase taxes from the people to make up for the loss of the state treasury.

But it's easy to be easy.

But Zhu Yijun, who understands this consequence, is still a little reluctant in his heart.

Because he knows that this is a typical landlord mentality that would rather force his own people to live than work hard to make the cake bigger.

Although Zhu Yijun is completely capable, the situation of a large number of people dying because of this choice will only appear after he returns to the land in a hundred years, and no matter how many lives will be swallowed by the monstrous flood in the future, Zhu Yijun still wants to try to see if he can use the way of improving science and technology to make the profit method of colonizing the world more convenient than the profit method of enslaving his own people.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also specially ordered to change the Inner Court Military War Bureau to the general as a supervisor, and under the general as a supervisor, set up an ordnance design institute and the Huangming Industrial School, and also spent 1 million taels of silver every year to the general as a supervisor, in order to support the ordnance design institute to recruit senior craftsmen to develop new weapons, and to train technical personnel in the Huangming Industrial School.

In this way, the status of the prisoner in the 24 yamen of the inner court is undoubtedly much higher than when it was still a military war bureau before.

"Emperor Qi, this is the new warship presented by Liu Ming, the young eunuch of the general, this warship has lowered the stern and bow, increased the number of layers, and wrapped copper skin at the bottom, which also makes the entire hull more curved, and even adds a sail behind the warship to adjust the direction."

this day.

It's the time of autumn.

The sparkling waters of the pond reflect the yellow leaves on both sides.

And Zhu Yijun, accompanied by the eunuch Chen Zheng of the new bingbi eunuch, came here to check the new warship developed by the supervisor according to his requirements.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked: "So, this warship is more suitable for long-distance voyages?" ”

Liu Ming immediately walked over, knelt in front of Zhu Yijun and said, "Back to the emperor, in the eyes of the ministers, it is indeed more suitable for ships to sail away." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "In this way, let the celebrant send someone to take this warship to Fujian with Liu Ming, and let Fujian Governor Jin Xuezeng try this ship, and test the effect, if there is an effect, there will be a heavy reward!" In addition, let the celebrant send someone to inspect the sea frontier on my behalf, and allow him to act cheaply, so as not to encounter a situation where the new warship is robbed by the pirates and cannot retaliate. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Zheng and Liu Ming and other eunuchs all showed excitement on their faces.

Since the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yijun's Huangzhuang has also been forced to clear a lot of hidden fields.

In addition, in order to avoid the flight of more royal tenants, the imperial village also had to reduce rent and interest, which made many eunuchs in the inner court have a lot of financial resources.

In addition, the income of the eunuchs themselves has decreased greatly since the dismissal of the town guards after Jiajing, so the income of the eunuchs is now mainly generated by the bribes of foreign officials, in addition to the formal income and rewards and subsidies.

And this has led to a result, that is, the eunuchs will have more frequent contact with the scholars of the outer courts, and they will be more likely to be bought by the scholars of the outer courts.

In fact, this phenomenon has begun to intensify in the last years of Jiajing.

Even reformist civil officials such as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were actually able to take power, but it was because they colluded with the eunuchs and formed an alliance of interests with the eunuchs.

Although the collusion between the eunuchs and the civil officials of the foreign courts, even if it is only private contact, is a taboo and will be severely punished by the emperor, it is difficult to completely stop the nature of people seeking profit, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and it is difficult to control it.

Therefore, if Zhu Yijun wants to curb the collusion between the eunuchs and the foreign courtiers, he needs to change the main way of income of the eunuchs in the court, and let them change from accepting bribes as the main way of income to making profits by undertaking scientific research projects and major projects, supplemented by stricter measures to prohibit private contact between the inner court and the outer court.

Of course, even if Zhu Yijun encouraged the court personnel to make profits by engaging in research and development and undertaking major projects, he was strict about the results of research and development and engineering.

If you want to make money, you can do it, but don't make a moth.

And let the general be the supervisor to develop new warships is also to fulfill this purpose.

Although Liu Ming falsely reported a lot of money for the research and development of new warships, the warships he built were indeed not fictitious things, but really decided to develop this new type of long-distance warship after personally asking the opinions of the old military ministers who had retired from the Daming Naval Division.

In terms of the technical mastery of ocean navigation, Daming was originally the strongest and the most willing to innovate.

You must know that the stern rudder technology, which is the most critical for ocean navigation, is a Chinese invention.

It's just that this technology, which originated in China, only helped Columbus discover America.

However, as the inventor of his own China, not only did not discover the Americas, but also took the initiative to discard many of the originally very advanced technologies, and took the initiative to throw away the multi-spindle spinning machine and deep drilling technology, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to give up its own advanced technology foundation for ocean voyages, and even took the initiative to burn the sea literature data of ocean voyages.

And now, Zhu Yijun began to use his status as emperor to intervene and restart the research and development of long-distance navigation technology.

Originally, the emperor was the least likely to encourage a technological revolution.

Because the emperor can completely replace the role of technology with a lot of manual labor because he has supreme power.

It's just that Zhu Yijun is different, because of his familiarity with the history of later generations, he wants to live a more happy imperial life by improving technology.

The eunuch Sun Bin, the eunuch who was also the eunuch and the eunuch who was the eunuch, and Liu Ming, the eunuch who was the eunuch, and Liu Ming, the eunuch who was the eunuch, were able to come to Fujian on a new warship because they met such an emperor, and they were determined to make a lot of money with this new warship.

Yes, anyone will maximize the power they wield without a teacher.

And Sun Bin and Liu Ming are no exception.

After they came to Fujian to meet with the governor Jin Xuezeng, with the assistance of the commander of the navy, Shen Yourong led the troops, in the name of trying to sail a new warship, carrying the Ming Dynasty's newly built warship, which is equivalent to the Galen style that began to be popular in Europe in the 17th century, to the vicinity of Luzon, where they robbed a Xiyi armed merchant ship.

However, the joint report that Zhu Yijun got from Jin Xuezeng, Sun Bin, Liu Ming, and Shen Yourong after this was that when they were trying to sail a new warship, they happened to meet a ship to attack the new warship, so the sailors who tried the new ship had to fight back, and completely annihilated all the pirates on the ship, and obtained a large amount of thieves.

Because Jin Xuezeng and others handed over to Zhu Yijun the thief money converted into silver as high as 300,000 taels of silver, Zhu Yijun could only choose to acquiesce, and sent an edict to commend him, in the name of the success of the trial voyage and the meritorious service of suppressing the Kou, and also promoted Sun Bin to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, Liu Ming was the eunuch of the general, and Jin Xuezeng was the deputy capital of the imperial history, and the rise and fall of Yourong was the general manager of Qian, and for the sake of 300,000 taels of silver, Shen Yourong issued the next edict of 'cheap suppression of the Kou', which is equivalent to a privateer license.

There is no way, Jin Xuezeng, Sun Bin, Shen Yourong and others abide by the rules, knowing that they can't forget the emperor in the matter of making a fortune, so that Zhu Yijun can see their loyalty.

Zhu Yijun also chose to admit that what they said was the truth.

What's more, Zhu Yijun now because of the encouragement of scientific research and to make the life of the inner court more harmonious, the expenses are also very large, and the income from the internal funds has gradually been unable to offset the expenses, and it is the time when money is needed, and he is unwilling to abolish the new policy, take back the hidden fields that were spit out, and increase the income of the hidden fields in Huangzhuang, so he took the initiative to choose to be the umbrella of these people, otherwise he would not have given Sun Bin the right to act cheaply in advance.
