Zhu Jianshen looked at Li Xian and Xu Youzhen. After a long pause, he said, "I see, I missed you."
"At first, I thought that you two wanted to start a party struggle, just like the Niu-Li party struggle in the Tang Dynasty, the old and new party struggles between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty. It seems that I have a lot on my mind, you two. They are all important ministers of this dynasty and should not be able to do such a thing."
"Zhu Yi is back, do you two know?"
Xu Youzhen and Li Xian were instantly excited as they listened to Zhu Jianshen's description of the party struggles in the late Tang and Song Dynasties.
But Zhu Jianshen then transferred directly to Zhu Yi.
It was like a big stick was raised high and then lowered gently, as if he didn't care about it, but he warned the two of them.
"I have heard about Zhu Yi's return." Li Xian hurriedly continued what His Majesty the Emperor said. An old fox didn't want to talk to Zhu Jianshen about such sensitive things.
"I also heard about it."
"Censor of Xudu, don't you like to watch the celestial phenomena? This time Zhu Yi came back and told me a very incredible thing. Please see if you can explain it to me."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
"Zhu Yi traveled eastward and never deviated, but he returned from the west of the Ming Dynasty. According to the celestial phenomena you have learned, how can you explain this?" Zhu Jianshen said softly.
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen frowned slightly.
This has subverted my own understanding.
Go east and return from the west.
Isn't this nonsense?
There is no explanation for this in what I have learned.
However, even if Xu Youzhen didn't believe it, she would not let His Majesty the Emperor's words lie on the ground.
Immediately he started saying things that he didn’t believe either.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Heng said in the Han Dynasty. The heavenly body is round like a pellet, the earth is like the yolk of a chicken, and the sky covers the earth like a shell wrapped in yellow. Since it is an egg yolk, it should be round. From now on, traveling from the east, Returning from the west proves that the earth on which we are located may be round like the yolk of an egg.”
After listening to this, Li Xian closed his eyes, his disdain for Xu Youzhen reaching a new level.
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he looked shocked. To be honest, he was not sure that Zhang Heng said these words after his death. He just had a vague impression.
However, had Xu Youzhen already discovered that the earth is a ball?
Thinking about this, Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen, only to find that this guy had his head lowered and there were drops of sweat on his forehead. Well, this guy was just a blind cat who met a dead tiger. I didn't believe what he said.
However, Zhu Jianshen did not continue on this issue. He went on to say: "I want to establish a maritime ban and establish government and commercial businesses. My dear friends, do you think it is feasible?"
"A businessman in the imperial court?" Li Xian asked.
"right."
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the most humble. People who came from the imperial examination will definitely not want to participate." BIquGe.biz
"Li Fuchen doesn't need to worry about this, I already have a candidate."
"With such a big change, we still need to be cautious. Your Majesty, it is better to call in the Taibao and discuss it with him."
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Li Xian who was speaking, and smiled softly: "Ai Qing clearly knows that Yu Taibao will not agree, why did you mention it? Could it be that Li Fuchen is not willing to agree, and is he just using Yu Taibao as an excuse to fool me? ?”
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. It's just that the new tax system in the country has not yet been successfully implemented, the Annan war has started again, and the annexation of North Korea to the territory has not yet been concluded. These are troubled times. If the maritime ban is relaxed again, I am afraid that half of the southeastern half of the Intruded by Japanese pirates." Li Xian said quickly.
"I also have Li Fuchen's worries, so I have not thought about opening all sea bans. The annexation of North Korea is a foregone conclusion. The sea opposite North Korea has become an inland sea. Shandong, Tianjin, North Korea, and Liaodong sea bans have all been lifted. , allowing maritime merchants to travel to and from various places to do business, this will allow Shandong to be closely connected with Liaoping Prefecture and the eight prefectures of Korea."
"Other places will only do pilot projects. Ningbo Prefecture in Zhejiang Province and Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province will give it a try and you will never go wrong."
"Of course, I have also thought a lot about the Japanese pirates. During the time of Korea, the Japanese pirates saw the civil strife in Korea and invaded Korea on a large scale. The bandit leader was captured by General Zhao Fu. After going through the criminal law, he also confessed some things. From these military reports, I It is inferred that there will be a war between Ming Dynasty and Japan in the future. At this time, Japan is internally unstable. It is also the time for Ming Dynasty to accumulate strength at sea. I also decided to reorganize Shandong Navy, Ningbo Navy and Fujian Navy to supplement their war effort. Ships, soldiers, set up the Distant Sea Department, and set up the Distant Sea Governor's Office."
"The scourge of Japanese pirates has been nuisance to our southeast for decades. My generation must completely solve the scourge of Japanese pirates."
After listening to what His Majesty the Emperor said, in fact, neither Xu Youzhen nor Li Xian had any big psychological fluctuations.
The emperor is so young and they are so old.
The two are obviously not of the same generation.
All they have to do is make the Ming Dynasty prosperous during their term of office, and that will be considered as completing the task.
Xu Youzhen, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, the sea ban is imposed so that merchants can go out for business and fishermen can go out for hunting. This minister understands, but this official and merchant minister still does not understand. It is the imperial court that wants to appoint officials as officials. A businessman, if a businessman is good enough, he can become an official."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen and said calmly: "The one who started first was of course appointed by the imperial court. I have talked with Zhu Yi for a while. He became the first director of the Ocean Sea Department. The Ocean Sea Department manages civilian ships, including large-scale maritime vessels. Ships, small fishing boats, and the management of the imperial court's long-sea merchant ships. Zhu Yi is willing to be the first official merchant. Anyone who pays taxes to a certain level can become an official merchant of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there is no hereditary replacement for this official merchant."
Xu Youzhen then asked: "Your Majesty, what is the Yuanhai Governor's Mansion?"
"The third-grade military attache of the left governor of the Yuanhai Dudu Mansion directly manages the Ningbo Navy and the Fujian Navy. As for the Shandong Navy, it protects the inland sea, the East China Sea, and does not belong to the Yuanhai Dudu Mansion. It is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Shandong Maritime Affairs and the imperial court appoints the naval admiral. "
"Of course, the Governor's Mansion in the Far Sea has nothing to do with the two dear friends. What I am discussing is the internal maritime affairs of Shandong and the ban on the opening of seas in Ningbo and Quanzhou. Which of you is willing to do these two things?"
When Xu Youzhen was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zhu Jianshen waving his hand.
"Forget it, since your arena show has already started, let's do it this way, one person and one place, Ningbo belongs to Xu Aiqing, and Quanzhou belongs to Li Aiqing. Of course, I won't go there in person, I will ask each of you to recommend someone to go. .”
Li Xian, after Xu Youzhen finished listening, you look at me and I look at you.
His Majesty said this as if he was absolutely sure of the matter. Don't we need to take the opinions of the officials of the imperial court seriously?
