"That's right! If the law doesn't prohibit it, you can do it! That's right, it's in line with our Ming law!"

"That is, we nobles can't break the law!"

And in contrast, the people in the civil service are stunned! However, if you look closely, you will find that although a considerable number of them are surprised on the surface, their eyes are full of surprise! As for the elders, they glanced at the crowd standing in the main hall, and they all wanted to say the same sentence in their hearts: "This reading, not only must you read more, but also understand and read thoroughly!"

When the nobles were a little quieter, Emperor Wanli immediately mended his sword and said, "What Wu Ningbo said is very reasonable, the Ming Dynasty respects the law! Since the law of the Ming Dynasty does not stipulate that the sea is not allowed in Xungui's fiefdom, then Wu Ningbo is not wrong to set up a port in his fiefdom and open up sea trade! This matter is settled, and I have been thinking about one thing all day long, and I have even delayed my business!"

His words immediately aroused the approval of the nobles! Many nobles immediately went out to express their support for Emperor Wanli, and said that they must cooperate with Wu Ningbo to carry on the matter of opening the sea!

But how could the civil servants be willing to fail! Immediately, another person walked out of the crowd and said loudly, "Wu Ningbo, don't forget that Taizu still has the ancestral training that 'no piece of board can go to the sea!'" I don't believe that anyone would dare to risk the condemnation of the world and sail a ship into your port to trade!"

As soon as his words came out, the civil officials immediately boiled! That's right, we can't stop you from opening the sea in the fiefdom, but don't forget that you have to have a sea boat to open the sea! But Taizu has the ancestral motto of "no piece of board can go to the sea", as long as we keep an eye on it, whoever drives the boat to you will arrest him! Where do you have no boat to go, and what sea you drive?

So at this time, the momentum of the civil officials suddenly rose, and they began to make a big fuss about "the board must not go to the sea"! Sounds very literate!

After their hustle and bustle, a group of people looked at Liu Haojia triumphantly to see how he responded! Even several pavilion elders turned their attention to him to see how he broke the game?

However, Liu Haojia arched his hand to Emperor Wanli with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty, what you said just now is exactly what the minister also wants to emphasize! Before coming, the minister had already written a warrant and sent it to the navy, so that they could strictly enforce the ban on the sea from the day they received the order! As soon as a ship is found to have gone to sea, it will be immediately seized and the cargo will be confiscated! If there is resistance, sink it on the spot, and there will be no mercy!"

Liu Haojia's words were murderous, and the official had to take a step back! Then many officials reacted and immediately made a commotion!

If there are people who know them well, they will find that all the people who make their voices are officials with household registration in Jiangnan! And they were quite smart, they just let out a sound of surprise, and many of them even swallowed back the word "no" that came to their lips!

Now they have finally reacted, Liu Haojia has set a big trap for them!

First of all, after Liu Haojia took advantage of the great work of treating smallpox, Emperor Wanli directly rewarded him with a fief. This was originally opposed by the crowd! However, seeing that he was only given the river beach by the sea, he didn't care. They felt that the meaning of the fief was more of a symbol of Emperor Wanli's favor to him!

What's more, there is a clause on the edict that a person's fief is retracted, and if Liu Haojia really wants to rebel, he can't gather any strength by relying on his fief. In addition, Emperor Wanli made concessions in other aspects, so everyone did not oppose it too much!

Then he painstakingly made another compromise in exchange for naval independence, which was mastered by Liu Haojia. At that time, everyone thought that this was just a noble dividing his own sphere of influence, so that it was convenient for his family to drink the blood of soldiers and make extra money, so no one cared.

In the end, the navy will become the Royal Navy, which is not subject to the management of the imperial court and directly accepts the direct jurisdiction of the royal government! So now the navy is dominant, and the commander of the navy said that the sea should be banned, and the board must not go to the sea, then it is really a piece of board that cannot go to the sea!

As for the problem of not having a ship to trade in Liu Haojia's fiefdom, it would be too simple to solve! Anyway, he is the commander in chief of the navy, he just needs to say that the ship is navy, who dares to say that it is not? Then the ship can run back and forth on the sea in the open! But it will cost a lot of money to change someone else!

Originally, this maritime trade was handled by the major gentry and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, but now after Liu Haojia's operation, it has actually become his exclusive business! And now that all the navies of the Ming Dynasty are in his hands, if he is ruthless, he can suffocate the gentry in Jiangnan, how can this work!

In a fit of rage, a civilian official said loudly, "Taizu has said that you can't go to sea, so why should your navy make an exception?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at this official with a foolish look! And Zhang Juzheng and the others bowed their heads and were silent, thinking to themselves, "How did such a fool get into the imperial court?"

Sure enough, I saw Liu Haojia flick his sleeves and said, "The shore of the land is not the king's land!" This sea is naturally also the sea of my Ming Dynasty! And the fleet under the command of this commander is the royal fleet, so it naturally has the important task of patrolling the sea frontier on behalf of the royal family! What's more, the ban on the board is to restrict the people, when will it be able to restrain the royal head? Therefore, this commander will definitely follow the ancestral system to crack down on any foolish people who dare to go to the sea without permission!"

The official Liu Haojia said this had a golden star in his eyes and staggered back! There were a few officials who were familiar with him and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh! Because they know that this family is in the tea business, owns several tea mountains, and sells tea overseas every year!

If it is really like Liu Haojia said, the tea trees in his mountains are still set on fire, and the fruit trees are planted instead! Although the fruit is not valuable, it is still an income!

Now the courtiers in the main hall are probably divided into three factions, and their attitudes are very obvious, and they can be seen at a glance! Those who rejoice and dance are honorable! They have already taken the lead in shops, and they also feel that Liu Haojiaxun is from a noble background, so naturally he will not restrict his family from buying a boat and running to the sea, so making a fortune is just around the corner!

There is also a group of officials with household registration in the north who are silent, and they are already wondering what Liu Haojia's words mean? They never believe that Liu Haojia will give up his interests at sea, otherwise what would he do if he opened the sea in a big circle?

They feel that this is a means for Liu Haojia to ask for benefits! Seal the sea first, and if you want to cross the sea, you will have to pay me!" Although a civilian official will lose a little face when he pays money to a military attaché, compared to money, face is worth a few dollars! Besides, according to the style of civilian officials, it may be uncertain who will have the final say in this navy in the future!
