In fact, to put it bluntly, the maritime ban means that only state officials can set fires, but ordinary people cannot light lamps. There are many unreasonable things in it.
Although the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat different from that of the Song Dynasty, it did exist, but it was all dominated by the government.
In the first year of the Longqing reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty began to adjust its overseas trade policy, allowing private individuals to sell goods to the east and west seas, allowing private merchants to have legal status, and opening up trade along the southeast coast.
Folk silk fabrics, porcelain, tea, ironware, etc. were all shipped overseas for sale by merchants.
Let the handicraft manufacturing industry develop greatly.
Hard-working and smart businessmen sell their country's products at high prices overseas.
It is for this reason that a large amount of silver poured into the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty, which was originally a copper standard, suddenly become a silver standard. In the next few decades, one-third of the world's silver poured into the Ming Dynasty. Entered the Ming Dynasty.
However, with such a huge profit point, the imperial court did not really gain profits. The reason for this is that the officials in the imperial court are all liberal arts students and are not so sensitive to numbers and financial logic. The reason for this is that the emperor himself is not interested in these things. It didn't matter. If the emperor was interested, he could find a few smart people and ask them to work out a normal business tax process.
The Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty will not cry about poverty for more than two hundred years.
Xu Youzhen was very vague about the navy. This should be the first time it appeared in his dictionary.
Of course, this is no wonder Xu Youzhen.
The huge empire and vast territory really prevent these scholars from having much interest in the overseas world. It can be said that the more well-read people are, the less motivated they are.
"The imperial court levied taxes on overseas business to support the navy, and then used the navy to expand the sea territory. It gained people for doing business overseas, and the people for fishing provided protection. If people from outside the country were offended or treated unfairly, The giant ship sailed past, firing volleys of artillery fire..." Zhu Jianshen became more and more excited as he spoke, and his chubby face was filled with rosy colors.
Of course, under the navy, another organization was set up to seize wealth and labor for the Ming Dynasty, and operated secretly...
Xu Youzhen has been listening quietly.
The sea, Your Majesty has never seen the sea, do you know what is on the other side of the sea?
After chatting with Zhu Jianshen for a long time in the Qianqing Palace, Xu Youzhen was in a state of confusion, as if her worldview had collapsed. Zhu Jianshen said that he had seen from the nautical charts that Western people were oppressed by the nobles and became slaves. I have a good heart, and I am really I want those slaves to stand up and take over their property.
The way of a saint is broad and broad. How can it be hidden? It should be carried forward...
It was too much and he needed to digest it.
After Xu Youzhen left the palace, she did not return to the Yamen, nor did she go to see Jincheng Jun Li Yu who was anxiously waiting for him. Instead, she ran back home secretly.
Park Ningmei is learning embroidery in her room.
Her current outfit makes her look more dignified and noble.
Xu Youzhen returned to the house through the back door, and then sneaked into Park Ningmei's room.
"Hey, Master, why are you back..."
Xu Youzhen put her official hat on the table, then sat next to Pu Ningmei and took a look at the crooked embroidery.
"Let it go first."
"What's wrong, friend?"
"I was talking to His Majesty, and my mind was a little confused, so I just wanted to find something to do to clear my head..."
Pu Ningmei put down her sewing and looked outside with some embarrassment.
"Master, this is not good at noon. My eldest sister has already told me that you should exercise restraint..."
"It's okay, she doesn't know. Come on, after this is done, I have to go back to the Yamen to see your Mr. Jincheng." Xu Youzhen said and started to take off her clothes.
Little did they know that upon hearing Lord Jincheng's name, Park Ningmei's eyes shone brightly, and she put down the embroidery: "Master, Lord Jincheng is here."
Xu Youzhen stopped what she was doing: "Here he comes, what's wrong?"
Pu Ningmei stood up and then knelt directly on the ground: "Master, I have a younger sister at home. I hope I can get her to come..."
Xu Youzhen quickly helped Pu Ningmei up: "Your sister?"
"Yes, my father was an official in North Korea. Many years ago, he was convicted and demoted as a slave. My brother was sent to the Ming Dynasty because he had learned Chinese since he was a child. My sister was just born at that time, and we were both slaves. , if the master is unwilling to help, my little sister’s result will be the same as mine.”
Xu Youzhen nodded secretly: "Don't worry, after we are done, I will go to see Mr. Jincheng and ask him to send this sister over..."
Park Ningmei's eyes were filled with excitement, and then a pair of jade hands slowly came over and she gently rubbed...
Xu Youzhen felt the sensation immediately, then picked her up and walked towards the bed...
After a while of singing and dancing, Xu Youzhen walked out of the room with a glowing face. She must have agreed to help Park Ningmei get a girl. She was more devoted than before in this regard, which made Xu Youzhen very satisfied, and her head was mostly awake in an instant.
Xu Youzhen didn't know much about Pu Ningmei's life experience. If she took the initiative to mention it, Xu Youzhen would definitely help. No matter what, Pu Ningmei was always respectful to her. She was a little tired, so when she couldn't do it, she would move on her own.
Park Ningmei's eldest brother was sent to Ming Dynasty.
Why was he sent to Ming Dynasty? He must be a eunuch.
You can also inquire about Park Ningmei in the future and let them reunite as brothers and sisters. When the time comes, Park Ningmei will definitely treat her well.
Thinking of this, Xu Youzhen's face overflowed with a cheerful smile.
Suddenly, Xu Youzhen's smile stopped. He saw the lady at the end of the corridor, holding a wooden stick in her hand and looking at him with an unkind expression.
Someone snitched...
Then Xu Youzhen ran away, leaving no trace of the dignity of the court officials.
And his wife did not chase him, fearing that Xu Youzhen would fall down if she chased him too hastily, breaking her arms and missing legs.
Xu Youzhen ran out of the mansion and jumped into the carriage.
The driver driving the carriage was shocked.
This master is so fierce.
Xu Youzhen, who returned to the carriage, said quickly: "Quick, go to the Yamen."
The groom obeyed the command and drove the horse.
Xu Youzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his wife knew what kind of person he was and would not embarrass Pu Ningmei. He immediately put the trivial matters in his family out of his mind and began to think about what His Majesty had talked to him. After that, I also had some inspiration.
Whether or not to lift the sea ban is a matter for the Emperor of Heaven to do. After Your Majesty reaches adulthood, not even Yu Taibao can stop it, let alone yourself.
What I have to do is to find talents in this field for His Majesty and turn what His Majesty wants into reality.
But, having said that, why does His Majesty have a special liking for the sea?
Isn’t the biggest enemy of our Ming Dynasty Mongolia in the north?
When Xu Youzhen was thinking about something, he also arrived at the Yamen. He had no choice but to put away his thoughts and go to see Jincheng Jun Li Yu who was anxiously waiting for him.
In the lobby, Li Yu drank fifteen times the tea, went to the toilet three times, and waited all morning before she saw Xu Youzhen.
This made Li Yu more confident in Xu Youzhen.
The censor of Xudu entered the palace to meet the saint and stayed there all morning. This favor must be the first in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Li Yu never imagined that Xu Youzhen would have the habit of showing off her prostitution during the day, so she had to fight twice before coming over.
"Censor of Xudu, you are here." Li Yu said respectfully.
Seeing Xu Youzhen, Li Yu seemed to see the backbone.
When the entire Korean royal court was shrouded in the lustful power of Lord Shouyang, the clan, ministers, and even the king were in danger.
A man appears.
In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Youzhen, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty.
A man who is not handsome in appearance, but is the embodiment of wisdom.
He is the representative of the Ming Dynasty sages.
He is the savior of North Korea.
It was because of his guidance and planning that he dared to fight hard, launch a mutiny, kill Lord Shouyang, and let the blue sky and white sun appear over North Korea again.
But this time, "he" still needed him.
"Jincheng-kun, I've been waiting for a long time. Sit down. Sit down quickly."
"The censor of Xudu will sit down first."
Xu Youzhen sat down with a kind smile, and Jincheng Jun also sat next to Xu Youzhen.
"When I entered the palace this time, I told His Majesty some of the difficulties in Seoul. But now, the imperial court needs Shi Heng to stabilize the situation in the north. It is impossible to punish him, but Your Majesty will also reprimand Shi Heng and ask him to restrain himself. "
"That's good, that's great."
"Hey, to be honest, Pyongyang's envoys came three times in the past six months and sent gifts everywhere. At that time, I hoped that Lord Jincheng could also come to the Ming Dynasty, but Lord Jincheng has not left because of military disputes. I am also worried about the situation where the North Korean rebels in Pyongyang are unable to lose their tail."
"Hey, it's my fault that Lord Shouyang's remnants were not wiped out. It has nothing to do with Xu Du Yushi. My king is satisfied with the situation now. Xu Du Yushi, can you let Wu Yang wait in the rear? Contain the Pyongyang rebels." Li Yu said with great expectation.
The money was spent, and he wanted it to be worth it.
"Jincheng-kun, what do you think?"
"We want to give it another try."
Xu Youzhen shook his head: "I can contact Shi Heng through letters and give him money so that he can threaten Pyongyang's army and not dare to go south. But without the imperial court's military regulations and His Majesty's will, the Liaodong army cannot move, even if it is Shi Heng." Neither can Heng.”
"Then, His Majesty the Great Emperor, what does your Majesty have to say about our affairs in Korea?"
"Hey, when the incident first happened, Hancheng did not write a letter to the court. At that time, His Majesty Long Yan was furious. Now that I have brought it up again, it has also made His Majesty very unhappy. There is no holy judgment on this. "
After hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Li Yu looked shocked and frightened.
This is also his fault.
But when the Pyongyang rebels appeared, the ministers really wanted to inform Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.
But Jincheng-kun wants to prove himself.
Just dragged it down.
This made Mr. Jincheng depressed for a long time. Why is it so difficult to prove himself? I want the highest mountain to stand there. I don’t care if it is a cliff. But the people in Pyongyang insist on holding him back, so that he can’t do it. Climb up.
He sighed.
North Korea's territory is small. During the Shouyang Monarchy, most of the territory occupied by the Jurchens in the north was voluntarily given up to the Ming Dynasty. Now that Pyongyang has rebelled, some of it has been given away. North Korea's fate is ill-fated, like catkins floating in the wind... …
"Jincheng Lord, please don't feel sad during this difficult period. Although the Ming Dynasty's army cannot send troops, I will fight for it. Once Pyongyang's army goes south in the future, the Ming Dynasty's army will also go south to threaten Pyongyang. In other words, As long as the Seoul orthodox have a chance to attack Pyongyang and regain their homeland, the Pyongyang rebels have no chance and go south again."
"Hey, but..."
"What?"
"But we can't defeat it..."
