Emperor Qianwu has always been paying attention to Li Changfeng's movements, otherwise he would not have sent the Imperial Forest Army to respond in advance, and even the attack on Li Changfeng was already known.

Knowing that Li Changfeng went straight to the palace, Emperor Qianwu waited in the imperial study.

It didn't take long to see Li Changfeng walking in with a happy face.

"Father, the son is back!"

Emperor Qianwu smiled: "It's good to come back." ”

Li Changfeng arched his hand casually, sat opposite with a big grin, and said with a smile: "This time it's really a big profit, those Fanbang people are simply big fat sheep!" ”

Emperor Qianwu's focus was not on this matter, and he asked one after another: "How are those sweet potatoes?" Didn't freeze, did you? You haven't been flooded, have you? Will it affect next year's spring sowing? ”

Li Changfeng gave Emperor Qianwu a reassuring look: "Father, just put your heart in your stomach, the sweet potatoes are well preserved, and you can't delay spring sowing." ”

Emperor Qianwu was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, that's really good, the winter is still long, you must save the sweet potatoes." ”

"Father, are you still not at ease with your son's affairs?" Li Changfeng said helplessly.

"Stinky boy, is this too long-winded?" Emperor Qianwu scolded with a smile, and then he cared about the income of this transaction: "Earned a lot, right?" ”

"Haha, isn't that?" Li Changfeng laughed and said, "Those Fanbang people are simply big fat sheep, and they can earn as much as Erchen doing other businesses for half a year, and this is still when they only have one cargo ship, if there are more cargo ships, they will earn more." ”

"Compared to half a year of other businesses?" Emperor Qianwu was a little surprised, no one knew better than him, a shareholder, how much money Li Changfeng's industry made.

"Is that not it?" Li Changfeng smiled and said proudly: "This transaction will be handed over to the household tax at least 50,000 taels, father, you can say that you are happy or not, right?" ”

Emperor Qianwu's tone was calm: "What is there to be happy about with this bit of silver?" ”

But the smile on his face that he couldn't hide showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

These Fanbang people are only coming for the first time, and the other cargo ships on the road have also been damaged, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the transaction volume.

The next time they come, they will earn more money for Daqian.

Li Changfeng did not go home after returning to Beijing, and dragged his tired body to see Emperor Qianwu as soon as possible, which was purposeful.

He smiled and continued: "This is just a trade with the caravan of the Germanic Empire, father, think about it, if we do business with all the countries of Fanbang, will we still be short of silver?" ”

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but yearn for it, and nodded: "Indeed, if there are dozens of such countries trading with my Daqian, it won't be long before my Daqian will no longer be short of silver." ”

Li Changfeng struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, father, so it's time to cancel the sea ban policy, this policy has seriously affected foreign trade." ”

Emperor Qianwu's smile slowly retracted: "This kind of national policy, how can it be said that it can be canceled?" ”

When the critical time came, Li Changfeng no longer smiled, and said with a serious expression: "Dare to ask my father, why is the sea forbidden?" ”

Emperor Qianwu didn't have to think about it, and replied directly: "First, it is to resist the thieves who wantonly plundered the coastal areas; Second, in order to prevent domestic opposition forces from bypassing the land and entering the deep zone along the coastline, this national policy began in the place where the previous dynasty was established. ”

"Okay, father, let's talk about the first point, did the sea ban really succeed in resisting the thieves? They don't dare to go ashore, but our fishermen don't dare to go out to sea to fish, or even live too close to the coastline, what is the difference between that and not resisting? That's our coastline! ”

Li Changfeng's words were sonorous and powerful, with a little anger and unwillingness.

Emperor Qianwu was touched.

Today's situation is like a coward who is blocked at home and does not dare to go out, allowing the enemy to show off his might at the door, which is indeed a bit aggrieved.

Seeing this, Li Changfeng stimulated again: "This time I went to the South China Sea, and the Japanese robbers actually plundered our cargo ship directly in the night, you must know that there are our troops stationed on the shore, do you say that they take my big dry in their eyes?" ”

Emperor Qianwu's face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Changfeng continued to stimulate: "If we abandon the policy of banning the sea to develop the navy, and encourage ocean-going trade to bring benefits and convenience to other countries, these pirates will inevitably become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them, how long can they survive?" ”

Emperor Qianwu fell into deep thought.

He felt that Li Changfeng's words were very reasonable, but he had other concerns.

Li Changfeng continued: "Let's talk about the second point, the domestic resistance forces, such as the Fengtian Society and the Eight Great Families, are indeed a trouble......

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng's voice suddenly raised a lot.

"But! We will have more and more artillery, and there will be more and more muskets, even if we are equipped with thousands of people, it is not a problem, plus grenades, with the current strength of our cadres, do we need to be afraid of them? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes lit up.

Artillery, muskets, and grenades have not yet been used in large-scale actual combat, and Emperor Qianwu has been looking at this issue from a traditional strategic perspective because of the influence of his mindset.

Now after Li Changfeng's little push, his thinking of falling into a dead end suddenly became clear.

Oh, yes!

He now has artillery, muskets and grenades, what else does he need to be afraid of?

Whoever dares to take the lead, kill it!

It's still a good thing to kill these rebel forces early!

Li Changfeng knew that Emperor Qianwu had figured it out, so he added another fire: "Father, now that your sword is not old, and the elite who followed you in the southern and northern wars are also there, it is a good time to take the opportunity to sweep the world, do you want to hand over a mess to your successor?" ”

Emperor Qianwu smiled: "Stinky boy, you still preach about me." ”

"Father, just say that what your son said is unreasonable."

"You're right." Emperor Qianwu nodded, he was an eloquent emperor, and immediately said: "I will announce to the world that the ban on the sea will be lifted in a few days." ”

Li Changfeng was overjoyed: "That's great, by the way, my father and emperor, my son still has something to discuss with you." ”

Emperor Qianwu said meaningfully: "Do you want to build a ship?" ”

Li Changfeng had a large number of masters sent by him, and Li Changfeng asked the people of the scientific research institute to learn the shipbuilding skills of the Fanbang people, and sent people to find suitable docks on the coastline to build large ships to dock.

He knows all these things.

Coupled with the fact that this foreign trade made a lot of money, he guessed Li Changfeng's thoughts.

Li Changfeng didn't hide it, nodded and said: "That's right, Erchen wants to build a big wharf, build a big shipyard, and build the strongest warship in the world, whoever dares to hinder my foreign trade, I will fight whom!" ”
