Chapter 62 I’m teaching Ming how to open the sea
"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"

Xia Yuanji's voice became a little excited, and he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with his ears.

His Majesty the Emperor actually decided to open the sea.

Originally, he didn't care too much about whether to open the sea or not.

However, the development of Daming in the past few years and the huge wealth that Zhu Di brought back from overseas made it impossible for Xia Yuanji to ignore it.

Even very hot-eyed.

In this regard, even if Zhu Di's subsequent voyages to the West were public purchases of materials, rather than expropriation at the beginning, Daming's finances increased by leaps and bounds during this period of time.

In a short period of time, Ming Dynasty’s fiscal revenue more than doubled.

But this is just incidental. If the Ming Dynasty opens the sea, this financial income will undoubtedly be even greater.

Xia Yuanji, who is the Minister of Hubu, is not excited.

Of course, he was not the only one who was excited at this moment, other ministers couldn't help but their eyes lit up at this moment.

Over the past few years, they have witnessed the huge profits overseas. Now that His Majesty is going to open the sea, the biggest beneficiaries are undoubtedly them.

Of course, while excited, there are also people who are worried.

"Father, the sea ban is an ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to abolish it rashly."

"Moreover, due to the benefits of merchants in my Ming Dynasty, a lot of cultivated fields are already barren. Once the sea is opened, people's hearts will move around, and the benefits of overseas may drive the people to stop farming."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and spoke.

As someone who has been dealing with internal affairs, he is not surprised by others, but worried.

In the past few years, the entire Ming Dynasty has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.

All kinds of novelty exist one after another.

But Daming's problems came one after another.

The first is the chaos of law and order, the development of commerce, and the inevitable emergence of chaos.

The second is that farmers who cultivate land are gradually attracted by factories.

If it weren't for the fact that Daming has a large amount of grain transported in from overseas every year, there may be problems with Daming's grain at this moment.

"It doesn't matter, I have already asked Zheng He to go to America to look for it. I believe that within two years, it should be enough to obtain the grain that Mr. Mu can produce a thousand catties, and it will naturally not be a problem then."

Zhu Di spoke, not paying much attention to Zhu Gaochi's worries.

"Your Majesty, Kaihai, we start with a few locations, or?"

Yang Shiqi pondered for a while, then asked another question.

"These things, you can just discuss them. This time, I called you here to ask you to come up with a charter as soon as possible."

Zhu Di nodded, and then spoke to several people.

And several people looked at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

Zhu Di didn't bother, his eyes were on the chat group while waiting for everyone's answer.

until a moment later.

Yang Rong stood up.

"Your Majesty, if we open the sea, we can start from three places: Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Dengzhou. On the one hand, we can manage it, and on the other hand, we can take care of the East, South, and West."

"However, the benefits of opening the sea are greater than the benefits of cultivating land. The imperial court can set up customs clearance documents. Those who do not hold customs clearance documents are not allowed to go to sea to do business."

When the voice spoke, Yang Rong quickly gave a relatively complete plan.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Soon, in the study, every minister expressed his opinion.

And Zhu Di's heart moved, and he directly pasted these opinions to himself and sent them to the group.

21st century.

blue star.

Jiang Chen saw the message sent by Zhu Di almost immediately.

Just looking at it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Dude, what a talent on the opposite side.

What's more, Kaihai has already thought up a series of measures, and it's not just one, but several plans.

Even in the eyes of Jiang Chen, who has a lot of research on history, it is considered extremely good.

"It's very good. I thought you didn't understand history at all, but you can still explain Kaihai so clearly."

"All of these are fine. In addition, you can complete the customs clearance document. In addition, doesn't Daming have a navy? Anyone who pays taxes will be protected by the Daming navy. You can also pay for it to be escorted by the Daming navy, and you don't have to pay. A strand of it is regarded as smuggling, which is an illegal act, and it will be directly arrested and the assets will be confiscated.”

The text was typed up, and Jiang Chen quickly responded.

Just kidding, how to open the sea.

In the past few decades on the Internet, various Internet gods have boasted countless times.

Even if Jiang Chen has never eaten pigs, he has seen them run away.

The answer is naturally clear and logical.

In the study, Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Chen's reply.

It was exactly as he imagined.

The insight and talent of that gentleman are unimaginable, and even the perfect strategies of his ministers can be supplemented.

"Okay, that's it for this matter!"

"In addition, we will improve the plan. Anyone who pays taxes will be protected by the Ming Dynasty Navy, and can also contribute money to the Ming Dynasty Marine Guards. Those who are not allowed to pay taxes will be doing so for private purposes, which is illegal. Their assets will be collected directly and their property will be forfeited. "

Zhu Di opened his mouth and narrated what Jiang Chen had just added.

And listening to Zhu Di's narration, the figures in the study couldn't help being a little surprised.

But after the accident, everyone couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

"Yes!"

"promise!"

A series of voices echoed.

In response, the meeting was considered over.

Soon an imperial edict passed through the world.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, that is, from now on, Daming will lift the sea ban and no longer follow the sea ban policy formulated by Lao Zhu.

Shipping divisions will be opened in Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Dengzhou.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Ming Dynasty was shocked.

Now after several years of development, Daming is not half-knowledgeable about overseas affairs.

Even most of them already know the richness of overseas.

Especially those handicraftsmen and businessmen who are getting rich are more aware of this.

It's just that Daming has a sea ban, and these people can only restrain their hearts.

The Daming at this moment is not the Daming in the middle and later stages, it is all a sieve, the Daming Sea Ban, that is the real Sea Ban to the point of extreme thoroughness.

Ordinary people are tightly controlled, let alone businessmen, there is no hope at all.

But at this moment, the imperial court actually lifted the sea ban.

All of a sudden, many people's minds became active.

As soon as the Four Shipping Division was opened, the threshold was immediately crossed.

Countless businessmen, countless personnel.

Even some nobles and the families of some ministers sent their slaves to join in the fun.

There is no way, money, I am afraid no one will think too much of myself.

Overseas is undoubtedly a myth of wealth.

Anyone who knows a little about the existence of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas will clearly understand this point.

It was just that there were no connections before, but now there are already, so there is no need to say how to choose.

 No. 16, the top ten of the new book list is far away. I beg for recommendations, monthly votes, and rewards (just one dollar is enough) to make it to the new book list. If it can enter the top ten, it will be worth no less than [-] yuan in the first month after it is released.
