Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 424

After the Great Dynasty Conference passed, the entire Ming Empire continued to function.

Unsurprisingly, the opening of the sea was obstructed along the coast, but just as Zhu Youjian thought, under the adjustment of Huang Liji's extremely high political skills, and with the assistance of Xu Guangqi, who was already familiar with the situation along the coast Next, all obstacles were forcibly broken through.

The matter of opening the sea continued vigorously with an unstoppable momentum.

The protection net above has all turned against them, and the rich families in the southeast and the original interests of all parties are watching helplessly as the huge interests that originally belonged to them are forcibly snatched out of their own mouths.

Will they be willing to be greedy?
That is of course impossible.

However, after the behemoth of Daming really started to operate, their strength alone was not enough to protect their own vested interests.

Just when they were desperate about all this, the arrival of a person rekindled hope in their eyes.

Once a person's desire is opened, it will flood like a monstrous flood, and no one can maintain reason at this time.

The loss of benefits is far more painful and sad than never getting them.

Driven by their desires, they——do not hesitate to put all their eggs in one basket!

Three, four, five and three months are usually the busiest times for shipping from Japan to Daming. At this time, the northeast monsoon is usually blowing on the sea, and ships can only reach the Ming Dynasty quickly by means of the monsoon.

In the past, the five months of March, Four, Five, September and October were important months for Japanese defense in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

But this year is different. Ever since the Wa country officially fell under the iron heel of the daimyo and became the Dongying Province of Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates naturally disappeared.

And the trade between Daming and Japan has also become a normal trade between the provinces in the country, so the trade between the two parties has gradually normalized, and the sea ban is also useless for Dongying Province.

The normalization of trade has gradually increased the exchanges between the two sides. Taking advantage of the monsoon, a large number of businessmen from Dongying Province arrived in the coastal provinces loaded with goods from their hometown.

The goods of this ship were quickly divided up by the local merchants. The merchants in Dongying Province made a lot of money, as did the local merchants. Both parties were happy.

With the trade with Dongying Province, various coastal ports prospered rapidly. Coupled with the implementation of the new commercial tax collection regulations of the imperial court, the local commercial tax was levied [-] out of [-], while other countries' tariffs were levied [-] out of [-].

The tax revenue of these provinces quickly increased, and the court also witnessed the advantages of opening the sea.

Seeing Yinzi, the courtiers who were not very interested in opening the sea quickly promoted the process of opening the sea. In June of that year, the coastal ports were officially announced to open.

And set up a city shipping department in each port, responsible for the management of tribute from overseas countries and the current customs and trade affairs. There is one person for promotion, from the fifth rank, two deputy promotions, from the sixth rank, and one subordinate official, from the ninth rank .

No one who is not a graduate of the Industrial and Commercial Department of the Daming Wentang is allowed to take up a post, and the deputy is recommended by the Ministry of Households. The department of shipping in each city is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households and the emperor, and is only responsible to the Ministry of Households and the emperor.

In short, local officials are not allowed to intervene. Except for [-]% of the tax revenue to be retained by the local government and [-]% by the Municipal Bureau of Shipping to maintain the normal operation and development of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping, [-]% belong to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the remaining [-]% ​​to the Ministry of Finance. Internal money.

It took a long time for Zhu Youjian and Guo Yunhou to get this [-]%.

In July, the customs opening documents submitted by Ming Dynasty to the diplomatic countries have not yet been delivered.

Liaodong, which has been stable for a long time, is fighting again!

The generation in the southeast also set off a mighty wave of riots, and rioters in several coastal provinces violently opposed the opening of the sea.

Not only that, in the southwest direction, the land reform that was going smoothly was also interrupted, and the remaining chieftains who had already accepted their fate joined forces to rebel again.

To the northwest, urgent reports came from the nine border towns at the same time. The prairie Tartars invaded. Lin Danhan led [-] cavalry at the border.

The flames of war ignited simultaneously in four directions, east, west, north, south, and Daming, who had been calm for a long time, suddenly seemed to be in a precarious situation.

Beacons everywhere!

The capital, the back garden of the Imperial City Palace, Wanchun Pavilion.

In the hot summer, the pond is also full of bright and eye-catching lotus flowers.

The willow trees and willow branches along the lake are flourishing and shady, and large areas fall directly into the water.

The cicadas on the tree mingled softly and played the music.

Tails of fish swim in the water, creating a worry-free grand scene.

Pavilion.

Zhu Youjian was fishing drowsily with his golden fishing rod in his hand.

Wang Chengen stood aside with an anxious expression on his face, holding many memorials in his hands, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Beside the table and chairs, Empress Zhou also frowned, thinking about something uneasily, but turned her head to look at her husband who was still dozing off and fishing, her eyes were full of helplessness.

wave~
Suddenly there was a light sound on the water surface, and circles of ripples spread out in a corrugated shape, and the fish float that was floating on the water surface also sank!
Zhu Youjian, who was still dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes!

With a slight flick of the wrist, the whole fishing rod trembled at an extremely fast frequency. After a while, a red koi floated out of the water with its eyes rolled.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhu Youjian's mouth, and he skillfully started to close the shot. After a while, the dizzy red carp came to Zhu Youjian's hands.

He casually threw it into the bucket beside him, and after a while, the red carp that had been dizzy just now gradually regained consciousness. After being at a loss for a while, it began to swim in circles in the bucket again.

Seeing that the carp regained its vitality, Zhu Youjian immediately put away his rod, smiled and told Wang Chengen who was beside him: "Go ahead, I will use this red carp I caught today to make fish soup for the queen to make up for." Replenish your body, and give my emperor some nourishment!"

Wang Chengen listened to the order, although he was still anxious in his heart, he still didn't dare to be negligent and nodded his head yes, after a while, a little eunuch came over and carried the bucket into the imperial dining room.

At this moment, Empress Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and said: "Your Majesty! At this juncture, why do you still have the leisure to fish here? Don't you know that the ministers of the previous court are all in a hurry? What's up?"

Zhu Youjian casually picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his hands. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about the empress, they worry about them, but I don't. What's the use of being anxious?"

Empress Zhou suddenly became angry.

"Your Majesty! The country of the Ming Dynasty is the country of the Zhu family, and you are the present day. Now that there have been four years of fighting in the southeast and northwest, the Ming Dynasty is in the midst of a raging fire. How can you be so indifferent?"

Zhu Youjian smiled, stepped forward, sat down beside Queen Zhou, stretched out his hand to hold Queen Zhou into her arms, Queen Zhou resisted at first, and then had no choice but to give up under his insistence, and leaned against the on her husband's chest.

Caressing his wife's hair, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers from her hair, Zhu Youjian comforted softly: "Queen, don't worry, I have expected the situation at this time, everything is under control, nothing major will happen of."

Empress Zhou showed a look of surprise, and said in surprise: "I have expected it? How could Your Majesty have expected it?"

Zhu Youjian hugged his wife tightly, stroked her slightly protruding belly with one hand and said softly: "It's just some clown's performance. The reason why I let her perform is just to let those ghosts and snakes behind the scenes have a one-off." After coming out, I would like to catch them all in one go, otherwise, in the current situation in the southeast, northwest, except Lin Danhan's side, the other three places can only be wiped out with a backhand.

Even if it's Lin Danhan, I'm just worried that if I defeat him, he will run away, and Da Ming's army will have nowhere to go after him. If we really want to talk about threats, the current Da Ming is not afraid of any threats! "

"But His Majesty allows the people in the dark to turmoil, and it's the people of the world who suffer!"

Zhu Youjian rested his chin lightly on his wife's hair, closed his eyes slightly, and murmured in a low voice: "There is nothing I can do, if I don't take this opportunity to blow up all the fish underneath, I will take it with me later." I am afraid that the troubles that come will be greater, and the people will be hurt more deeply. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

I want to wipe away all disasters for the future of Ming Dynasty, for the next generation, and for my prince, and hand over a clean and clean Ming Dynasty to his hands.

What you have to do, queen, is to take good care of my baby and give birth to my good son in a healthy and healthy way. His father will take care of everything for him!

I have already thought of his name, how about calling him Zhu Cizheng?

I, just be a ruthless knife and finish all the bad things. My Zheng'er only needs to be a kind and loving emperor. As for the future, I will arrange it before I die. Daming can't leave The old road has gone down, and feudalism has no future after all.

From my knowledge, I can only let Da Ming go that way, so that my royal family can survive, and my Da Ming can continue for a long time.

Although I know there is another way to make Daming better, but in the end, I am still selfish..."

Queen Zhou didn't understand the meaning of her husband's last words, but her husband's behavior of letting the villain move made her suddenly understand the meaning expressed in the poem written by the former poet Zhang Yanghao.

It really is: Prosperity, the people suffer, death also the people suffer, for thousands of years, nothing more than this...
