I'm really not doing business

Chapter 355 Born here and raised here, accomplished here thanks to here

The Ming Dynasty restored official ships and official trade, and took advantage of the opportunity to transport horses to the Mughal Kingdom to transport Ming goods to the Mughal Kingdom for sale. This was not Zheng He's voyage to the West, because the scale was too small.

The decline of Ming Dynasty’s maritime power did not begin when Liu Daxia hid Zheng He’s old cases. It was lost after the death of Cheng Zuwen Emperor Zhu Di. Zheng He, who had lost his support, could not do much. The last voyage south to the Western Seas in the sixth year of Xuande's reign was the last swan song of Ming Dynasty's maritime power.

The contradictions in this process are complicated. Obviously, the imperial court banned people from going out on boating, while the other side made a lot of money for themselves. This aroused huge dissatisfaction and widespread opposition. Under this wave of opposition, the Ming Dynasty policy The adjustments are full of overcorrections and completely negative mistakes.

When Wanli opened the sea, the Ming court was also very cautious. Not only did the official ships of the imperial court go to sea for official trade, but civilian ships were not prohibited from going to sea. It was the decree to open the sea that did not cause widespread opposition. The route taken by the official ships of the Ming Dynasty was like The official roads and post roads on the Ming Dynasty land will be safer.

As a native of Qiongzhou, Hai Rui was separated from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty by a sea. When the sea power of the Ming Dynasty was strong, Qiongzhou was extremely stable. When the sea power was weak, Qiongzhou was full of poor coolies. Therefore, when the imperial horse boat went to The first time he arrived in the Mughal Kingdom, Hai Rui asked if it was a continuation of the voyage to the West.

The answer is no, this is not a continuation of the original, but a new beginning.

Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, thought for a moment and said: "I don't agree with what Great Situ said. Indeed, the number and size of the fleet on this voyage to the Western Ocean cannot even be compared to that of the sixth year of Xuande, but the five-masted fleet on this voyage There are five battleships and a total of fifty three-masted plywood ships. The cargo capacity, firearms, and troops of these fifty-five ships are already comparable to the original ones. They are enough to promote the country's prestige and can bring Enough profit has been made."

"The most critical thing is the round trip time. This round trip time is only six months. In other words, if this route can be opened, our Ming Dynasty official ship official trade can sail between Songjiang Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty and Sula of the Mughal Kingdom in one year. We have to go back and forth twice during the special period, which is a faster turnaround than when we went to sea every three or four years."

When discussing the decline of Ming Dynasty’s maritime power, people tend to focus on the fact that Emperor Chengzuwen lived alone, and all the gains from maritime trade were transferred to the internal funds, which attracted widespread opposition; they focused on the lazy government of the imperial court, which made one-size-fits-all overreach; they focused on the waste of people and money, and the recruitment of too many people. Soldiers and civilians participated in shipbuilding, guarding, etc. Zheshe households focusing on the southeast coast agitated for public opinion against the wind power for their own personal gain.

Tan Lun talked about an overlooked point, efficiency.

Zheng He led his fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, and it took at least two years to return once. The seven voyages to the Western Ocean during the Yongle and Xuande years had too many missions, including promoting the country's prestige, cleaning up the sea, and also To communicate with overseas countries, we also need to set up official factories, which include military missions, diplomatic missions, and political missions. However, the economic mission of making money is the last mission on the list.

After Emperor Chengzu Long Yu Shangbin, when Renzong ascended the throne, his overseas activities, with the continuous influx of spices into the Ming Dynasty, had become tasteless, tasteless to eat, a pity to discard, and even turned into a matter of losing money and making a fuss.

"Each family does its own work, leaving military affairs to the Navy Yamen, foreign affairs to envoys to seal ships, and profitable business to merchant ships. If the division of labor is clear, everyone will perform their duties." Tan Lun added again. Regarding the idea of ​​​​opening the sea, a fleet wears many hats and cannot get everything done at once. Instead, because of one thing, everything else is delayed. And the military matter is important? Or are political affairs important? Or are foreign affairs important?

"What Grand Sima said is absolutely true." Wang Guoguang considered Tan Lun's words and agreed very much with what Tan Lun said. The official ship and official trade during the Wanli period was indeed small in scale, but it was not necessarily profitable because the turnover was faster. , due to the faster flow of goods, the official ships responsible for making money earned more than during the Yongle and Xuande years.

Zhang Juzheng thought carefully about it, summarized the opinions of all parties on the official ship and official trade memorial, and wrote the float. As the chief assistant of the empire, Zhang Juzheng agreed to further division of labor in maritime activities to improve efficiency.

The Kaihai New Deal supported by the Ming Emperor is still being pushed forward. The Emperor's New Deal and Zhang Juzheng's New Deal together constitute the Wanli New Deal. These two New Deals are in different directions and led by different figures. They are complementary to each other and are not antagonistic.

"The accounting volume of the Ministry of Household Affairs summarizes the money, grain, and taxes in the six years of Wanli, six items of agriculture, and a total of 2080.2 million silver, including 337.8 million silver, 2073.3 million shi of rice, 587.6 million shi of wheat, 1414.2 million bundles of fodder, 2519 million kilograms of charcoal, There are 2259 million catties of charcoal, five business items, 223.8 million silver, and 348.7 million miscellaneous items, a total of 2652.6 million silver, with six agricultural items accounting for 78.4%. In addition..." Zhang Juzheng held a memorial, took a deep breath and said: " Last year, Jingtang Woolen Official Factory, Xishan Coal Bureau, Weaving Bureau, Municipal Shipping Department, and Tax Inspection Bureau paid a total of 769.4 million silver in profits to recover arrears."

In addition, the appendix is ​​a separate accounting, which is not included in rice and wheat, silk cloth, farmland, horse administration, husband's service, imperial village, tax department, horse administration, salt, tea, smelting, ship money, and miscellaneous colors, that is, The main income of the New Deal presided over by the emperor, which was the direct profit turned over to the national treasury, minus the apportionment to the internal treasury, was the cash sent to Taicang, which could be used to directly stamp silver coins.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan took the lead in singing a hymn on behalf of the Ministry of Revenue for their outstanding contributions to His Majesty. The figures are not complicated. The net profits of the New Deal presided over by the Ming Emperor accounted for 22% of the total national fiscal revenue. This number is enough to be jaw-dropping. It can be said that more than one-fifth of the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty were personally maintained by the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise." When Wang Guoguang took the lead in singing the hymn, the courtiers immediately followed and bowed their heads in praise.

It was the first time that Wang Chonggu knew this account so clearly. He also boasted that he was the most luxurious household in Beijing. If his family could make even a fraction of this net profit in a year, which was [-] silver, they would have to hang a loud firecracker. Come celebrate.

Zhu Yijun had already read through the accounting records of the sixth year of Wanli. This account book was produced in December. Cui Min, the eunuch of the inner transport warehouse, led the abacus in the palace to review it several times. He had already read it many times. , he waved his hand and said: "With the efforts of ten thousand people, we can be invincible in the world. This money is not earned by me. It is the result of the joint efforts of the Ming Dynasty, the king and the people. How can I be greedy for the merits of heaven?"

The financial report for the sixth year of Wanli will be published in the Di Bao in March of the seventh year of Wanli. The main reason is to review and verify the accounts in this year. They are all calculated by hand, which is why it takes so long.

Zhu Yijun does not think that this is entirely his own credit. It is the strong national power of the Ming Dynasty and the united efforts of the monarch and his subjects that led to such results. He is an independent individual, and this credit cannot be attributed to him.

After hearing what His Majesty said, Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and led his ministers to call for the Holy Spirit again.

Greedy for the merits of Heaven, who is this Heaven? This heaven is the collective of Ming Dynasty, but this heaven is not specific and unclear. Who will represent this heaven and exercise power? Of course it is His Majesty, so the credit naturally belongs to His Majesty himself.

Just like when Wang Xijue met the saint in prison, he loudly asked the emperor, where are the people? Where are the people?

Your Majesty is responsible for decision-making, the court officials are responsible for the power struggle, the Jingtang is responsible for managing the officials, and the officials are responsible for carrying out the imperial decrees. It is said that the people are the foundation of the country, but where are the specific people? Where are the specific people?

Zhu Yijun used his actions to tell the courtiers the answer to this question, where are the people? The sky above the heads of all the individuals included in the Ming Dynasty is the common people.

The court discussions continued. Most of the time, Zhu Yijun followed the results of the court ministers' deliberations. He was like a stamping machine. From this point of view, it seemed that the emperor's imperial duties were of no use at all. The Ming Emperor only needed to draw one every day. Time, seal the seal, and Ming Dynasty will be able to operate stably.

But as long as Zhu Yijun sits on the dragon chair on the platform, there will be no big deviation in the direction of the court discussion, and the buttocks of the courtiers will not sit openly at the end of the luxurious household.

"This Songjiang Sun family actually paid a tax of [-] silver last year? Moreover, Sun Kehong also donated [-] silver to the Songjiang Weaving Bureau?" Zhu Yijun keenly noticed the terrifying tax amount of the Songjiang Sun family. , this is not the tax paid by Songjiang Ocean Trading Company, but the tax paid by Sun's family.

Zhu Yijun looked through the Sun family's taxes in Xia Songjiang in detail. The city shipping department took up [-]%, the boat business took up [-]%, and the remaining [-]% was his family's farmland. Zhu Yijun closed the tax book and said with emotion. : "If all the luxury households in our Ming Dynasty were like the Sun family, why would I run a tax inspection institute and cause a lot of complaints?"

Zhang Juzheng exhaled and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if everyone in the Zheshe household in the world is really like the Sun family, then they are not Zheshe households."

"It's me who is greedy." Zhu Yijun agreed with what Zhang Juzheng said. If it weren't for the tax collection agency's urging, these luxury households would really not accept a penny, and even wanted the court to give them some.

"On the contrary, Sun Kehong's memorial is very interesting and the content is very long. It probably means that without the Ming Dynasty, there would be no Sun family." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial from Sun Kehong. Songjiang Ocean Trading Company was under the jurisdiction of the Songjiang Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. A trading company is an alliance of guilds. The general manager of the business is appointed by the court. Sun Kehong is the general manager of the business, so he is qualified to present the report.

Sun Kehong's memorial is lengthy, mainly singing hymns and expressing gratitude.

Sun Kehong believes that if the Ming Navy had not conquered Manila and acquired the Western Shipbuilding Technology, the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty would still have been that of the Yongle period, which was more than [-] years ago; similarly, if the Ming court had not built shipyards and recruited civilian ships Craftsmen, to raise shipyards, the Sun family does not have so many three-masted plywood ships; similarly, it is not the Ming Dynasty Navy that shows off its power in Ryukyu and the Japanese country, it is not the uncle of Surabaya with the surname Zhengmao, Ying Yangbo, Zhang Yuanxun in Luzon, and Wanli During the seawall expedition, the three-masted plywood ship could not safely do business at sea. Similarly, without the deterrent presence of the Ming Navy, there would not be so many beauties from all over the world.

In short, he was born in the Ming Dynasty, grew up in the Ming Dynasty, became successful in the Ming Dynasty, and contributed to the Ming Dynasty. Without the Ming Dynasty, naturally there would be no prosperity for their Sun family.

Without the Ming Dynasty, would their Sun family really be so prosperous? The answer is no. If Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi were in Manbasa, Africa, they were still baring their teeth with gorillas and competing with big lions for prey.

But when people evaluate the rise and fall of a family, they often only emphasize personal efforts and ignore the objective environment.

If all the Zheshe households had Sun Kehong's thoughts, the Ming court would not have to worry about face to amass profits, and the Ming Dynasty would have been prosperous long ago.

On March [-], the seventh year of Wanli, Shah Maimaiti, the special envoy of the Mughal Kingdom, returned to Songjiang Prefecture on a trimaran hydrofoil sailboat. He did not stop at Xingang, but took the boat directly to Yingtian Prefecture Nanya , in Nanya, he saw the glazed pagoda of Da Bao'en Temple that Legaz mentioned repeatedly. When the magnificent glazed pagoda shone in the sun, Shah Maimaiti could truly understand why Legaz I’m going to stay in Daming.

This is a country of civilization and etiquette, and the glazed tower of Da Baoen Temple is a lighthouse in the ocean of ignorance.

Shah Maimai mentioned that he admired the Glazed Pagoda of Dabaoen Temple in Nanjing, and then took a detour to Longjiang Shipyard. In the afternoon of the same day, he happily took a boat back to Songjiang Prefecture. After a day's rest, On March [-], Shah Maimaiti planned to set sail.

"The time was so rushed that I thought the Daming Shipyard would only have time to remove the red cross flag, but I didn't expect that even the lion and sun emblem were made so perfectly." Shah Maimaiti once again praised the efficiency of the Songjiang Shipyard. He looked at the eleven five-masted ocean-going ships lined up on the pier, and said in a daze for a moment: "I can't figure out which ship I came on."

Eleven five-masted ocean-going ships, six of which carry the lion and sun emblem, and five of which fly the seven-star flag of the Ming Dynasty. These eleven five-masted ocean-going ships will go to the Mughal Kingdom and transport back all the war horses. Pull back.

Songjiang Shipyard has produced a large number of matching items, which can be flexibly decorated. Last time, they had no experience, so they made the big customers wait for a few days.

Guo Rulin said solemnly: "After half a year of sailing at sea, the ship will inevitably leave traces. It is no longer as good as new, but our craftsmen really tried their best to repair it."

Guo Rulin was somewhat dissatisfied with the Taixi and Mughals sailing the ship. They did not cherish the ship. When Shah Maimaiti returned to the new port of Songjiang Prefecture, a watertight compartment was actually used. And it’s scarred!

"The respected General Office is so polite!" Shah Maimaiti was in a good mood. He felt that the money bag was not enough, so he asked someone to bring four money boxes. He gave the money box to the craftsman who was cleaning and repairing the ship for him. , said with a smile on his face: "Take these for everyone to drink tea."

"Envoy Shah has already given it once." The craftsman responsible for cleaning and repairing was embarrassed to take these money boxes. The Ming Dynasty Port Service provided free ship cleaning, mainly to prevent insects and rats from bringing the plague to the Ming Dynasty. After cleaning, it is clean and tidy. At least there are no big rats that are longer than arms running around on the ship.

The Shah's envoy had already given him money for tea last time, and the shipwright didn't really want to accept it. "I will come again next time." Shah Amaimaiti said with a smile: "I won't give so much next time."

After the craftsman accepted the tea money, Shah Maimat was in a better mood. The Ming craftsmen performed their duties well and exceeded Shah Maimat's expectations. The results of this mission also exceeded Shah Maimat's expectations. Mait's expectations.

According to the words of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty approved the tribute trade twice a year. In addition to the tribute ships, the Mughal Kingdom also received a hundred ship guides, which could be used for Mongol merchant ships to ship in the Ming Dynasty. Company business.

The current tribute trade of the Ming Dynasty is very different from the tribute trade of the Hongwu and Yongle years. In the tribute trade of the Ming Dynasty now, tribute ships are more like a bridge for communication. Merchant ships are the main body of the transaction. As long as they are not hostile, generally It is possible to obtain merchant ship guides from the Ming Dynasty, but some countries do not have merchant ship guides. For example, the Japanese country does not have the Ming Dynasty ship guides. If its ships approach the waters of the Ming Dynasty, they will be treated as pirates.

Shah Maimaiti placed a total of fifty-one orders for three-masted ocean crossing ships at Songjiang Shipyard, Longjiang Shipyard, and Fujian Shipyard. They were to be delivered within three years. It was not that he did not want to buy more, but that of Ming Dynasty. Shipyard production capacity must be supplied to domestic demand, and Shah Maimaiti could not buy more ships even if he spent more money.

Shah Maimaiti looked at the vast sea and the clear sky, and walked onto the trestle leading to the five-masted ocean crossing ship. When he was about to board the ship, he expressed his apology to Guo Rulin: "I am very scared. Songjiang Shipyard is causing trouble, after all the ships are due to be delivered to Felipe II of Teesi this year as scheduled.”

"If Felipe II is willing to increase money, Songjiang Shipyard can also expand production." Guo Rulin said with a smile on his face. With just these five ships, Songjiang Shipyard can earn an additional 17.5 yuan in profit this year. According to the three If the ratio of seven retained to shipment is exceeded, an additional profit of [-] silver can be paid this year, which is exactly equal to the profit of the Yongding Woolen Official Factory.

The Ming Dynasty is different from the West. The Ming Dynasty has always had the most power and money is easy to find. At most, you can find the silver hidden in the pig pen by raiding a few wealthy households. This political achievement is not so easy to make money.

Shah Maimaiti is a walking political achievement.

Amidst the melodious sound of horns, the whistles of barges, and the cries of seabirds, the combined fleet began to move slowly. The sails were like rising clouds, slowly drifting in front of the sea. , the sea breeze roared by, blowing the waves and hitting the shore, and also took away people's sorrow when they were parting.

Hundreds of teams compete for the current, and thousands of sails compete.

"What the Shah envoy is holding in his arms is the statue of the Concubine invited by Longjiang Tianfei Palace, right?" Zhao Shizhen frowned, looking at Shah Maimaiti's boat, and asked Guo Rulin with a frown.

Guo Rulin took the telescope and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was the statue of Tianfei from Tianfei Palace!

Tianfei is Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea. The Longjiang Tianfei Palace is located in the South Yamen of Yingtian Mansion. This Tianfei Palace was built by Emperor Chengzuwen in the fifth year of Yongle. Zheng He started from his second voyage to the West. Before and after his voyage, They all went to Longjiang Tianfei Palace to offer sacrifices. With the Ming Dynasty banning the sea, the incense in Longjiang Tianfei Palace was no longer prosperous. In the third year of Wanli, Li Le, as Yingtianfu Cheng, renovated the Tianfei Palace, and the incense became prosperous again.

Sure enough, this Shah Maimaiti went to Nanya not only to see the Glazed Pagoda of Dabaoen Temple, but he also secretly invited a statue of the Heavenly Concubine back!

"He said, don't they have a Poseidon in their family?" Guo Rulin put down his telescope and looked a little annoyed. Each family worships its own god!
  After the ship sailed away from the new port of Songjiang Prefecture, Shah Maimaiti took off the hook lock of the barge and carefully put the statue of the Heavenly Concubine into the captain's cabin and fixed it. As long as the ship did not sink, the statue of the Heavenly Concubine would not sink. damaged.

Shah Maimaiti offered the incense sincerely. After thinking for a moment, he took out a silver bag from his arms and placed it in front of the offering table. He felt a little more at ease.

Zheng He went to the West to pay homage to the Heavenly Concubine, so Antonio, the Spanish captain, also invited a statue of the Heavenly Concubine from the Heavenly Concubine Palace to be placed in the captain's room. The belief was for peace of mind, and Shah Maimaiti also hoped that everything would go well.

Shah Maimaiti saw a five-masted ship crossing the ocean, flying the seven-star flag of the Ming Dynasty and a copper coin flag. This made Shah Maimaiti a little curious.

"Envoy Xiao, what kind of ship is this?" Shah Maimaiti asked Xiao Chongye, the special envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Mughal Kingdom.

In the fifth year of Wanli, Xiao Chongye went to Ryukyu to enthrone King Shangjiu of Ryukyu. This time, he served as an envoy to the Mughal Kingdom for six months.

Xiao Chongye looked at the ship, thought for a moment and said, "Bronze ship."

"Does the Ming Dynasty need copper materials very much?" Shah Maimaiti asked confused. The Ming Dynasty had a large amount of silver input, so why did it still need copper materials? The use of five-masted transoceanic ships to transport copper shows its importance.

Xiao Chongye briefly explained that the copper materials of the Ming Dynasty were mainly used to cast copper coins, and copper coins were generally used by poor coolies. While the Ming Dynasty valued the import of silver, it also attached great importance to the import of copper materials.

Shah Maimaiti was a nobleman, and in the true sense, he was the kind of nobleman who could kill lower-class people without paying any price. He couldn't understand why the Ming Dynasty paid so much attention to copper.

The person responsible for escorting the copper materials was Deng Zilong, the commander of Luzon Pandu in the Ming Dynasty. The process of collecting payments overseas in the Ming Dynasty was very stable, and this time Deng Zilong escorted [-] million kilograms of red copper and returned to the Ming Dynasty. This batch of red copper , will all be used to cast Wanli Tongbao.

Deng Zilong returned to the Ming Dynasty with the purpose of asking the emperor to deploy two more five-masted transoceanic ships to Luzon to deter many small countries in Southeast Asia.

Originally, Yin Zhengmao, the surnamed master of the country, wanted to return to Beijing in person, but due to the matter of collecting payment and taking back many plantations in Nanyang, Yin Zhengmao could not leave for a while, so he asked Deng Zilong to return to Beijing.

The five-masted ocean-going ship deployed in Luzon will also return to the Songjiangfu Shipyard for a major repair. The five-masted ocean-going ship that has been fighting in Southeast Asia for four years is covered with bruises.

After staying in Songjiang Mansion for two days, Deng Zilong set off for Beijing.

On March [-], the seventh year of Wanli, Deng Zilong successfully arrived at Huitongguanyi in the capital. After the handover at the Ministry of War, Deng Zilong met the emperor the next day.

Zhu Yijun met Deng Zilong, who had returned from afar, in the imperial study room of Xiyuan. Even some court officials had never been to Xiyuan. The different places where they met represented the difference between closeness and distance.

"General, you have worked hard all the way, please excuse me." Zhu Yijun helped Deng Zilong up and took a look at Deng Zilong. He was a military general, tall and thick, with a strong back and a fierce look on his face.

"When the general comes to Beijing this time, the deployment of two five-masted ocean ships in Luzon has been made known to the Ministry of War. They can arrive in Manila by September this year at the latest." Zhu Yijun first told Deng Zilong about his report, and the court officials As a result of our court discussions, the deployment arrangement of Ming Dynasty's five-masted ocean-going ships was to ensure the safety of Ming Dynasty's waters.

The Luzon Governor's Palace was the first overseas governor's palace in the Ming Dynasty. The court was extremely cautious in handling it. Even if the country's surname Zhengmao really turned against him, the red copper brought back by Luzon in the past two years would be enough to pay for the ship. .

"Your Majesty, I heard in Mindanao that there have been changes in the West, and the sailing ship may not be able to arrive as scheduled this year." The reason why Deng Zilong wanted to go to Beijing in person was firstly for the ship, and secondly for a piece of information.

"What happened?" Zhu Yijun frowned. The sailing incident involved the input of silver. This was a big deal.

"King Enrique of Portugal in the West is seriously ill. Captain Antonio seeks to succeed. King Felipe II of Spain and Antonio are at odds. The tyrant and the captain who brought him wealth have completely broken up because of the Portuguese throne. The news has spread throughout New Zealand. world." Deng Zilong explained the intelligence and its sources.

Enrique was a cardinal. He never married or had any children, so he had no heir. Felipe II and Antonio both had the right to inherit. As Enrique's illness worsened, Antonio's strength increased, and finally the time came when they had to break up. the point.

As long as the superficial peace can be maintained, it is impossible for Felipe II to fall out with the captain. Antonio is Felipe II's pocketbook.

"Is it possible for the Ming Dynasty's ships to go to the New World and traffic silver?" Zhu Yijun looked at Deng Zilong and said seriously: "This is a good opportunity. The Ming Dynasty's ships can cross the ocean. The five-masted ocean crossing ship was designed from the beginning. Crossing the ocean.”

"Your Majesty, the big ship cannot arrive at the port this year because Felipe II can't find a suitable captain." Deng Zilong's words were more euphemistic. Felipe II knew that Antonio would become an enemy. It was not that he didn't want to replace him, but that he really couldn't find one. The right captain led the fleet to Daming, a route filled with too many dangers.

"It is indeed very dangerous. There is no rush. Anyway, it is not me who is anxious, but Felipe II. His silver cannot reach the Ming Dynasty, but the silver from Japan and the silver from the west route can still reach the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yijun thought about it very seriously and made a decision.

Since it is dangerous, there is no need to do it now. It is not not to do it, but to wait until Ming understands the ocean better before exploring it.

Deng Zilong was stunned for a moment. The original plan was that he, the minister, was going to face difficulties. Your Majesty, the king, asked him if he could lead a team to take risks. He then replied that he would go through fire and water without hesitation.

However, His Majesty did not play according to the routine at all. When he heard that it might be risky, he immediately decided to stop.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "In the Ming Dynasty, silk, cotton, porcelain, tea, and ships are all sold. Soldiers have fathers and mothers. There is no need to take unnecessary risks."

Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty is now seventeen years old. He still has a lot of time and he can afford to wait.

"Your Majesty, you can actually give it a try." Deng Zilong said quickly.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
