Chapter 70 Can you still be richer?

Zhu Houcong's excitement gradually subsided. There was no way that when the treasury revenues of Zhu Di and Zhao Bing's two eras were thrown out one by one, Zhu Houcong couldn't get excited even if he wanted to.

There's no way the gap is too big.

There is no comparison at all.

This was especially true during Zhu Di's period.

You must know that [-] taels is only the national treasury's income, and Zhu Di's private treasury's annual income also reaches [-] taels.

And how much is he, Zhu Houcong.

The income from the private treasury is almost negligible, and the income from the treasury, even including the income from the City Shipping Department this time, is only 700 million taels, which is only a fraction of Yongle Time and Space.

The excitement disappeared, Zhu Houcong took a deep breath, and then began to ask Zhu Di for advice.

This time he was extremely serious.

He is not a fool, he naturally knows what the treasury revenue represents.

The night passed gradually.

in the chat group.

The three of them were still chatting very passionately.

When Jiang Chen got up early in the morning and sat down next to the computer again, he realized that the chat group already had 99+ messages.

Look at this information.

Jiang Chen couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Is the good guy not sleeping yet?"

While muttering to himself, his eyes couldn't help but look at the information content in the chat group.

And seeing this, he couldn't help but attract his eyes immediately.

Good guy, the scene is brought in, and another person is added.

Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong even replaced Emperor Jiajing and began to deduce the sea.

Even at this moment, he was still asking Zhu Di about Kai Hai's question, and the conversation was even more impressive.

This made Jiang Chen suddenly interested again.

"Hey, the fees that can be collected for opening the sea during the Jiajing period are probably only a fraction, and it may not last long. The merchants on the southeast coast will definitely continue to intrude. The limit is probably tens of millions taels a year. If you want to reach The kind that Ming Chengzu said is only possible if you restore the Xuanwei Division of the old port, spread the Ming Dynasty's tentacles to Southeast Asia, and completely control Malacca to directly insert into the East-West trade instead of being a provider."

The words struck up.

It only caught the eyes of the three of them for a moment.

Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, "Mr. is online?"

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di "Hello, sir!"

Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong: "Hello, sir!"

A few lines of text passed by, Jiajing time and space, and Zhu Houcong quickly looked at the words described by Jiang Chen.

This sight immediately moved Zhu Houcong's heart.

"Nanyang, the Old Port Propaganda Department?"

After talking to himself, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but throb in his heart.

He had chatted with Taizong Ye before, and he knew how much wealth Taizong's Daming had gained in Nanyang.

Those wealth, even just listening to it makes people's heart beat.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen's words made him react suddenly.

Since Grandpa Taizong can, why can't he.

Nanyang is just a group of barbarians, isn't it easy to do it?

And from the previous chat, he knew exactly how much money those Hongyi people and Frangi people made. Thinking of that money, Zhu Houcong felt extremely heartbroken.

It's his, it's Daming's.

And in his excitement.

In the chat group, the text appeared again.

"Although the Xuanwei Department of Old Port did not play any role back then, the Ming Dynasty could completely change it and turn them into an enclave that can be responsible for governing the entire Nanyang. By the way, the Europeans seem to be very serious about bullying Nanyang, and Nanyang is not always available. I miss my Ming Dynasty. The king of the Ming Dynasty has arrived, and he will definitely eat pots of wine to welcome the king. By then, it may not be impossible to expel the Europeans, and even if they cannot be expelled, if they occupy Malacca, the Ming Dynasty will be able to collect taxes with ease."

In the room, lines of text appeared. Thinking of that scene, I couldn't help but get excited.

If the Yongle period was an open period, then the Jiajing period was undoubtedly a harvest period.

For Ming Dynasty, even in the Jiajing period, there are still huge opportunities.

The reason is simple, that is, China's influence in Southeast Asia for thousands of years cannot be subverted by Europa in just a few decades.

Especially when Europe was ruled almost violently in Nanyang, it was not easy for Ming Dynasty to sweep Nanyang.

As long as Nanyang is controlled and the East and West are satisfied, Ming can forcefully insert itself into it, instead of being a pure raw material supplier.

The benefits are obvious.

As for the problems in various parts of Ming Dynasty, when one has enough wealth, then all problems will no longer be problems.

Even corruption, land annexation, these extremely fatal problems in the feudal dynasty are no longer a problem.

Just like the European era in history.

With the advent of the Age of Discovery throughout Europe, some social problems have not been resolved, but have become more intense. The corruption of the Great Britain is even more exaggerated than that of the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, they swept the whole world.

Sheep cannibalism is equally shocking compared to land annexation, but so what, it is not the Industrial Revolution.

The most fundamental reason is to have enough interests.

When enough benefits appear, then all problems can be easily solved.

The same is true for Daming.

Unfortunately, history has no ifs.

Daming missed this last chance, and Huaxia also missed this last chance.

After all, it slipped into the abyss.

While typing the words, Jiang Chen couldn't help sighing.

Of course he sighed, but on the other side, Zhu Houcong's eyes gradually brightened.

The excitement that disappeared before could not help reappearing.

Because at this moment Jiang Chen actually continued to give him a complete path and even told him what to do.

"Come on!"

In the hall, Zhu Houcong's voice soon came out.

"His Majesty!"

Lu Fang came quickly.

"Tomorrow's meeting!"

Zhu Houcong spoke.

"promise!"

Lu Fang was a little surprised, but she quickly responded.

And when the news came out, the entire government and opposition parties couldn't help but be shocked again.

My Majesty, who went to court some time ago, did not expect to go to court again after only a few months.

Well, for a few months, it was unbelievable for other emperors.

But for His Majesty Zhu Houcong, he was really "diligent".

Of course, besides the accident, many ministers were a little happy. For them, at least His Majesty is moving in a good direction.

So much so that during this period of time, the voices of cursing because of Jin Yiwei's involvement have decreased a lot. (In the Ming Dynasty, scolding the emperor was not a big problem. In other words, unless you were in the Qing Dynasty, scolding the emperor usually didn't matter. Even the extremely violent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trampled the crops and was scolded by the peasants. It was nothing. )

Instead, there were more voices of praise.

Of course, these changes are only a few.

It's not too conspicuous at the moment. After all, there are too many outrageous things about Emperor Jiajing, and they can't be washed away in a day or two.
