Zhu Yi changed into clean clothes and followed Zhang Bao to the Forbidden City.
The moment you enter the palace gate.
Zhu Yi felt someone calling her from behind.
He stopped.
Look back.
Empty.
There is only the wind blowing wantonly.
But Zhu Yi seemed to see his father.
He was holding a leather whip and looking at himself seriously.
Zhu Yi smiled sincerely and said to herself: "Old guy, your son can carry the family of Duke Chengguo."
Without shelter, holding an umbrella alone on a rainy day must go smoothly.
We must serve our country, our family name must be glorious, and everything must go smoothly.
So, Zhu Yi said slowly: "Old guy, go on your way with peace of mind."
At this time, Zhang Bao also stopped after Zhu Yi stopped and carefully observed Zhu Yi, who was suddenly sad and suddenly happy.
This guy is a little abnormal.
Just when he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Yi say: "Old guy, go on your way with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Zhang Bao's expression changed again and again, he snorted coldly and walked forward.
Zhu Yi also reacted and hurriedly chased after him.
"Eunuch Zhang, I'm not talking to you."
Zhang Bao glanced at Zhu Yi and said, "As a slave like me, you can talk to me however you want. When you get to His Majesty, just don't speak arrogantly."
Zhu Yi nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and wanted to explain a few more words, but Zhang Bao waved his hand, unwilling to listen to his explanation, and speeded up his pace.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen sat in front of the imperial court and saw Zhu Yi alive...
And Zhu Yi also saw that after his death, he made an exception and gave the honor to His Majesty the Emperor.
Immediately, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yi, bow to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hands and said loudly: "Pingshen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Zhu Yi stood up, Zhu Jianshen took a closer look, and then said, "Ai Qing, have you gained anything from this trip?"
"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot. Does your Majesty know that the sea is a circle..."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, his face looked a little moved.
He thought that Zhu Yi was trapped on some small island in the Pacific. Could it be that this guy crossed the Americas, went to Western Europe, and then crossed the entire Africa and circled back to the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, why would he talk like this.
It seems that Zhu Yi is really going to become the maritime prince of my Ming Dynasty.
What a blessing it is to the Ming Dynasty, what a blessing it is to me.
Zhang Bao on the side couldn't help shaking his head as he listened. It seemed that losing the title of Duke was really a blow to this young man.
"This is the first time I've heard of it. Please tell me quickly, Aiqing." Zhu Jianshen asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, since I was separated from Eunuch Cao, I have been heading eastward. Although I encountered some special circumstances and deviated my direction along the way, my general direction to the east has not changed. I have suffered a lot along the way. The year-long voyage actually reached various Western countries, and then continued eastward. Another year later, I saw the stone tablet erected by Zheng He. Then half a year later, I arrived at Jiaozhi and Fujian, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty. From the beginning to Finally, our ship has been sailing to the east, so I boldly guessed that the sea is round."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded slightly.
"What about the Western countries?"
"Among the countries in the maritime area, Spain is the largest, and France has the largest territory. However, their monarch does not actually control the country, but is controlled by a god called God. Your Majesty, this God is nailed to a pillar, and is the same as our three Qing Daozu, the god of all the gods in the sky, is different. He has no majesty at all, but people from all Western countries trust him very much. The French general was accused of not believing in God and was burned to death. It is truly a barbarian country.”
After listening to this, Zhu Jianshen said: "You have said so much. You must have stayed in these two places for a long time."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I spent a lot of time in France, and I even admired each other with the daughter of a French Duke. This time I also returned to the Ming Dynasty with me, wanting to pay homage to the heavenly kingdom." Zhu Yi said honestly. said.
Zhu Yi was not interested in beautiful women. He was more interested in what benefits Zhu Yi got from France, or what Ming Dynasty could get from these two places.
"Your Majesty, people from various Western countries, including the monarch of France that I met, all admire the Ming Dynasty. France, in particular, wants to do business with our Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly and found the reason for opening a business.
Of course, it is not really possible to allow people to cross half of the world to do business in Western Europe. This can be left to the officials, but the business of small countries in the Western Ocean trade can be done by ordinary merchants.
The most uncomfortable thing about the Ming Dynasty was that the amount of silver was small. During this period, except for the Ming Dynasty, no country had the capital to engage in primitive accumulation of silver and gold.
With more silver content, Ming Dynasty could also implement silver coins and form a sound financial system.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen has been thinking about these things, but the promotion of silver coins is not done just by making them. He needs your reserves to reach a certain level.
Why is it that no one recognizes the treasure banknotes?
To put it bluntly, there is no equal sign with gold and silver.
Not equating it with gold and silver is just a short-term means for the court to quench its thirst.
But if it is put in place, there will be enough silver coins circulating in the market, and there will be a huge amount of silver and gold in the treasury, it will be time to implement paper money.
As long as you have strong maritime power, if you like it, you will be given business. If you don't like it, you will be robbed directly. And the third brother of the current caste system can use certain means to let him provide Ming Dynasty with several big names. The port serves as a transit point.
Zhu Yi looked a little nervous when Zhu Jianshen didn't speak for a long time, thinking that His Majesty didn't believe what he said.
"I'm on my way quickly. The subsequent carriages loaded with French gold coins should all enter the capital within a month." Zhu Yi continued. biquge.biz
After hearing what Zhu Yi said, Zhu Jianshen nodded, and then said softly: "Now, according to the request of Prince Pingru, the court of the Duke of Chengguo has allowed your legitimate son Zhu Fu to inherit the title. Now that you are back, the title will also be changed." We can't move easily, why don't you give birth to a legitimate son, a father of two countries, after all, it will be a good thing for our Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Zhu Yi was a little surprised after hearing this.
"My meaning is very clear, Zhu Yi, do you think it is easy for Westerners to earn money? If the imperial court opens the sea for trade, and this matter is left to you, you may be able to do a good job."
After hearing this, Zhu Yi hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, if I can do a good job, Westerners have a lot of money and it's easy to make money. Even those feudal lords who went to the West also had precious stones, gold and silver. The three treasure eunuchs who went to the West, pepper and soda Although wood is precious, it is not as good as real gold and silver.”
"Okay, from now on, I will let you supervise the shipping companies, set up a new treasury, and establish the Ming Dynasty Ocean Division. You will serve as the general manager, no, as the admiral. As long as you earn eight yuan for the Ming Dynasty within twenty years, For tens of millions of taels of silver, I will make you the Duke of Huanhai, the first maritime Duke of the Ming Dynasty. I will not take back this Yuanhai County Prince. You can call yourself the king, but you cannot use the royal system, nor can you inherit it. It is just a false title. , if you can really do it, in a hundred years, you will be able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple and be my company..."
"Of course, if you can do business, do business. If you can't do business, you can rob..."
Zhang Bao was stunned to hear it.
Eighty million taels of silver.
This, how is this possible?
Because of this huge amount of money, Zhang Bao didn't even notice what happened to Prince Yuanhai.
After Zhu Yi heard this, he was also shocked.
However, it is not just for the amount of silver that he has to travel along the coast. As long as the publicity is in place, it is not a problem to get a few million taels. It will not be difficult to achieve the goal within twenty years, not to mention that he can still use it. I was shocked, but His Majesty did not take back the title of Yuanhai County Prince. He really became the first king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty...
This, this is not good......
Do you want to refuse?
