please make me king

Chapter 1619 Proposal of Sea Ban
"Jinzhou is in a hurry. Zhao Lizi and Geng Zhongming request 530 pieces of cotton-padded clothes, [-] catties of gunpowder, [-] pieces of iron, and [-] stones of grain!" Tian Xiuying was reporting to Zhang Shunhui in her crisp voice. .

"This is a big deal!" Zhang Shun frowned and said, "Food is easy to talk about, but it's hard to raise cotton padded clothes for a while."

Since Zhao Lizi, who is farther south, lacks cotton-padded clothes, the rebel army stationed in Liaoyang and other places may be even more so.

However, the weather is cold now, and there has been a light snowfall in the capital.

The east and west warm pavilions in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were already steaming hot, causing a group of women to hide in and keep warm if they had nothing to do.

The capital is still like this, Liaodong is located further north, and the weather is cold, as you can imagine.

"Your Highness, there is actually no other way." Tian Xiuying hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help reminding, "Fat jackets, combat shoes, fur hats, etc. should be stored in the B bank. Cotton armor and other things should be stored in the E bank. If it is collected and disassembled, it may be able to make up for the shortcomings."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he remembered that he was no longer that little thief running around.

Although the Great Ming Dynasty has been in decline, there are still three nails on the broken ship.

He remembered that although there was a lack of silver taels in this treasury, there were still a lot of objects left.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, the drafting department and the Ministry of Industry, let them collect [-] pieces first, no, [-] pieces."

"Your Highness, urgent military situation!" At this moment, Tian Shuying suddenly spoke to report.

"Get up high and sneak in!" Zhang put aside the matter by the way, nodded calmly and said.

It turned out that Zhang Shun had kept Gao Qiqian's secrets for a long time, after all, because of the crowd, he accidentally bumped into him a few days ago.

Just bump into it, Zhang Shun has nothing to do, but Gao Qiqian is frightened to death, afraid that he will kill him.

"Your Highness, Fatty Zhang came to report that on the third day of November, he went down to Dengzhou, regained its water city, surrendered his deputy commander Bai Dengyong, killed his commander Chen Hongfan, captured 120 ships, and surrendered [-] soldiers. The three of them have won countless first-level first-class battles." Gao raised his eyes and watched his heart, as if he didn't see Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu next to Zhang Shun, and the old god was there to report.

"Okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, and then he clapped his hands and laughed, "What a fat man, this time he solved a big problem for the king."

No, you didn't talk like that before!
The slightly shy Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu looked at each other in private, unable to complain.

Once someone made his own claim, you scolded him like a dog.

Once you agree, turn around and praise him as a flower, you are too realistic!
Of course, Zhang Shun didn't know what the girls were thinking, so he calculated himself: "Then Huang Sunmao already has more than a hundred warships in his hands. If we add the more than a hundred captured this time, we can form a navy with about two hundred ships. .”

"In this way, for the time being, we will appoint Fatty Zhang as the commander-in-chief of Shandong, and Huang Sunmao as the admiral of the Denglai Navy, ranking to the left of Fatty Zhang. Among them, the merits will be discussed after this battle is over!"

"Your Highness is so courageous!" Gao Qiqian was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but praise.

That fat man is Zhang Shun's direct descendant, so he has made such great achievements, it is only natural for him to be promoted to a noble.

Huang Sunmao was only a deputy envoy, and he hadn't made many achievements in this battle, so it was really unexpected that he was so heavily used.

"You don't understand." Zhang Shun shook his head and smiled when he heard the words, "With this navy, not only can Tianjin, Liaodong and Denglai be safe, but there are also huge benefits!"

"Benefits?" Hearing this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help thinking, and quickly said, "By the way, Your Highness, Fatty Zhang also sent someone named Wu Yanzhong."

"He claimed that it was Chen Hongfan's praise painting, and that it was Mr. Wang Zhengwang's old friend, so he wanted to meet His Highness."

"Oh? Then let's meet!" Since this person knows Wang Zheng, could it be that he is a "Westernist"?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shun nodded and agreed.

Not long after, when all the girls retreated behind the screen, Wu Yanzhong, who praised the painting, walked in under the leadership of Gao Qiqian.

"The sinner, Wu Yanzhong, has met His Highness King Shun, His Highness is a thousand years old!" Wu Yanzhong honestly kowtowed to Zhang Shun three times and nine times.

"I heard you want to see me? I don't know what's going on?" Zhang Shun asked directly.

"The sinner was originally a painting praised by Sun Fujun and Sun Yuanhua, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Wang Zhengwang. Then Chen Hongfan's head was obtained by the sinner." Wu Yanzhong said quickly.

"And then?" Zhang Shun asked blankly.

Why don't you let me have a relationship, is this little thing worth wasting my king's time?

There were some things Wu Yanzhong didn't want to say at first, seeing that this set of speech skills was not easy to use at all, he couldn't help being anxious.

He hurriedly continued: "The sinner has traveled between Liaodong and Denglai for many years, and he is quite familiar with it. Please speak for Your Highness."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help becoming interested after hearing this, and then said, "Thank you!"

Seeing Zhang Shun's interest, Wu Yanzhong couldn't help but continued: "Liaodong, Denglai, Beijing, Tianjin, Dongjiang, and North Korea are all integrated, because they are connected by water!"

"The rice cloth in the south of the Yangtze River, and the medicinal materials and ironware in the north, can go from Denglai to Beijing and Tianjin, from Denglai to Liaodong, from Denglai to Dongjiang, and from Dongjiang to North Korea.

When Wu Yanzhong said this, he couldn't help but stop, and secretly glanced at Zhang Shun.

"This king understands, you continue!" Zhang Shun understood his thoughts and nodded involuntarily.

Although Wu Yanzhong spoke hesitantly, Zhang Shun, who was a visitor from later generations, immediately understood what he meant.

From Denglai, Tianjin to Liaodong, Dongjiang, North Korea and even Japan, it is a maritime trade route in the north.

This voyage may not be as promising as the Nanyang voyage, but it is a trade route after all, and the profits are still very lucrative.

Seeing that Zhang Shun "pretends to understand", Wu Yanzhong couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly continued: "In the past, the Ming court used hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of salaries. Those who could not destroy the Tartars were connected by this line."

"If Your Highness has the heart, you can let the sinner take care of this matter, and keep his sails from entering the sea. It is guaranteed that within a year or so, the Tartars will disarm and turn their backs, and surrender with courtesy!"

"Huh?" Zhang Shunzheng listened with gusto, but he never expected that the subject would suddenly change from trade to sea ban.

It turns out that Wu Yanzhong, as the representative of the Shanyin Wu family, has participated in the trade of this voyage all year round and has made huge profits. Of course, he is not willing to give up this voyage.

But now that the rebel army is at its peak, Denglai, Dongjiang, and Liaodong are all in danger, and they will or have already been included in the rebel army.

That's why he took Chen Hongfan as a nomination certificate and came to meet Zhang Shun in an attempt to continue to control this trade line.

His strategy is very simple, that is to bully Zhang Shun, a "bumpkin" and "mud-legged boy" who doesn't understand trade, and advocates banning by sea.

Those who are banned by the sea can not help others but not their own ears!
As long as the sea ban comes out, the court will not be able to levy taxes, and other competitors will not be allowed to enter the sea, and their Shanyin Wu family will be able to completely monopolize this trade route.

"Sea ban? Why sea ban?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing, "I heard that no agriculture is unstable, no work is not strong, no business is not rich."

"There is this trade route today, and it is just at the time of vigorous development. How can we talk about the sea ban?"

Oops!

When Wu Yanzhong heard Zhang Shun's words, his expression changed drastically: this is someone who knows how to do it!
