Chapter 412 Customs Division

After listening to it, Zhu Di didn't think this was a good idea.

"What is this called, the rule set by our father, businessmen are not allowed to move around without permission, unless there is a nod from the government, they can not leave their hometown easily."

"If you follow your method and completely lift the sea ban, won't all the good things of our Ming Dynasty be taken by foreign countries?"

Zhu Song replied: "Your Majesty, this is not entirely a bad thing, for example, why is silk only available in Jiangnan?" That's because there is only such a place in the world suitable for raising silkworms, as long as the land does not fall into the hands of others, then naturally, silk has always been our thing. ”

"As for handicrafts, what porcelain, what gold, silver and jade, it is not so easy to take, craftsmanship is not something that can be learned overnight, and some porcelain is only suitable for firing with certain clays."

"As for other things that can be bought, only with the stimulation of outsiders, local merchants can try their best to make their products better, more eye-catching, and more willing to make people pay for each other, forming a competitive relationship with each other, the market will not lose its activity, and it will not let one monopolize the entire industry so easily."

"The same, foreign countries are not completely devoid of good things, for example, the fruits of the Nanyang countries are delicious, oranges are born in Huainan, and it is not good to plant them when you get our Ming Dynasty, so your Majesty, you are worried that our things will be taken away by others, in fact, you don't need it at all, our Ming Dynasty must not close the country, we must actively participate in the process of the world, open the Age of Discovery, and support the Ming Dynasty's sea fleet to set sail, go to a farther place, and promote the prestige of my Ming Dynasty!"

Although Zhu Di couldn't understand many words, what market, what activity, what world process, what Age of Discovery, but seeing what Zhu Song said was the Tao, he was still willing to believe in Zhu Song's ability in his heart.

"If it is beneficial to the country and the people, then naturally I will support you, but if I support you, I will support you, those ministers and doctors in the court, they are not having a good time, you have to find a way to move them."

Zhu Song thought of those ministers who were unsophisticated, and Zhu Song felt a pain in his head for a while.

"Your Majesty, you're not very interesting, why can't you let the ministers deal with those ministers alone, right? These thoughts of the minister are not all for the country to earn more money, and it would be too unkind for you to let the minister go alone. ”

Zhu Di laughed after hearing this.

"You talk like my brother now, don't hide your little caution, I don't know that this is also a good opportunity for you, you can also take this opportunity to do business, I don't care about you, you still want me to help?"

Zhu Song shook his head when he heard the words and denied: "Your Majesty, the minister really didn't want to get involved this time, because if the minister goes in, what will the other brothers do?" Do they want to get involved too? There are also those relatives of the emperor and the country, and the heroes of Jingnan, not only can the ministers not be involved in this time, but the trade at sea is led by the imperial court, but it is absolutely not allowed to have people with power to participate in trade with other countries, because this will definitely destroy the fairness of the market, and in the long run, it will affect the overall situation. ”

"When the time comes, not only will we not be able to get the silver, but the silver will also fall into the pockets of others, the emperor, the market in the mouth of the minister is actually the general term for the businessmen to buy and sell, the general term for the trading behavior, or the rules of the normal business dealings of the merchants, the public power can control the overall situation, such as controlling the export and import of goods, that is to serve the country, power can not serve the individual."

Zhu Di really has a higher and higher opinion of Zhu Song, if Zhu Song is not a relative of the emperor, with his brain, it will not be difficult to be an excellent businessman.

"Power must serve the country, not for personal service, you kid is really a golden sentence, I promise you, I will cooperate with you, but to control the tariffs you said, I have a plan in my heart, not to the officials to do, so much silver, white flowers pass in front of their eyes, if you don't have greed, it's weird, I plan to hand it over to the eunuchs to do."

Zhu Song knew that Zhu Di believed in eunuchs very much, such as Zheng He, that is, the current Ma Bao, if such a large fleet was handed over to a normal man, I am afraid that he would have the idea of standing on his own, eunuchs are different, social recognition is very low, and they are considered a figure around the emperor, if they leave the emperor, they are the lowest level of society, and they are not even as good as the three religions and nine streams.

Although it may bring great risks to future generations of eunuchs interfering in politics, this is the best solution so far, and it is also the most reassuring solution for Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's okay to use eunuchs, but the minister thinks the grade can't be too high."

Zhu Di nodded: "That's natural, I promised you and will help, but I am the emperor, there are some things I can't do in person, I still have to hand over to the people below to do." ”

"Are all new crops effective?"

Zhu Song nodded: "There are good results, the sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the pots before have grown smoothly, and they will be picked in a few days. ”

Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "The yield per mu is approaching, hahaha, it's really good, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, what Tang Zong and Song Ancestors can't do, when we do it, I really want to see all the granaries under my tomorrow full of grain." ”

Zhu Song wanted to tell Zhu Di that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was due to the land circulation and the fact that there were too many vassal kings, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

……

The next day, for some reason, the news that the state was going to completely open the sea ban and encourage private merchants to trade spread far and wide, and the first to oppose it was the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, followed by the officials of the six ministries, who jointly played the ban, and absolutely could not completely lift the sea ban.

The Han Wangfu did not stop, and those imperial relatives who followed Zhu Song also rushed to visit Zhu Song, hoping that after the sea ban was lifted, Zhu Song could take them to get a piece of the pie.

Now the officials and the relatives of the emperor have figured it out, as long as there is any trade or something to make money, it must be the shadow of King Han, the officials play impeachment, and the relatives of the emperor come to the back door, and they are very busy one by one.

Zhu Song, now in the cabinet to hide idle, these days the emperor has begun to choose the right people in the cabinet, to set up a customs department, led by eunuchs, this is also a fat shortage, very sought-after.
