Chapter 69 Jiajing: So Much Money? ? ?
For the Europa people, the opening of Daming's shipping department is a great joy for them. Gold and silver from America, he really has no place to spend them.

Compared with the small amount of some coastal Ming merchants, the City Shipping Department can undoubtedly undertake more.

The big ships were soon full of cargo.

Even because it was too heavy, the speed involuntarily slowed down when leaving the port.

And this undoubtedly became an opportunity for some people.

It was only a few dozen miles away from the port.

In an instant, small boats appeared on the surface of the sea.

These ships are obviously not as big as the Europas, but the number is extremely large, and they are directly approaching these Europa ships.

"Damn it, my God, it's a pirate!"

"Quick, speed up!"

There were Europeans on the big ship who exclaimed.

The whole big ship immediately started to riot.

However, there were too many goods, and even if they wanted to speed up, they couldn't do it at this moment.

As the "pirates" who have dealt with Europas all the year round, they naturally know how to deal with them. Even if these Europas sometimes act as pirates, their professional skills are still quite different from those of Daming.

Just like Zheng Zhilong who was able to press Europeans to the ground and rub them in the late Ming Dynasty.

This era is not much different.

After all, if you want to do business with the Europa people, at least you have to win the fight, otherwise there is no hope.

And on the small boats, a number of pirates, no, perhaps should be said to be Japanese pirates, are extremely excited at this moment.

He was about to rush over directly.

But at this moment, sea ships suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.

The speed of those ships was like an arrow leaving the string. They were still far above the surface of the sea, but in just a moment, the distance passed by in an instant.

"Shoot and kill all Japanese pirates!"

On a flying scissor sailboat, Yu Dayou spoke coldly.

"Yes!"

A famous soldier responded.

The next moment, the thirty or so clipper-style sailboats rushed directly towards the pirates' boats.

The speed of a clipper sailboat is beyond imagination.

Soon the boats came into direct contact with the boats.

Fighting quickly broke out.

During the artillery bombardment, small boats were directly disintegrated on the sea surface. Even if the small boats were not sunk, the clipper sailboats quickly stepped forward, and the boarding battle began.

The battle came to an end within an hour.

And such scenes are happening one after another not only in this port, but also in the three ports in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song had anticipated this situation long ago.

For this reason, he even sent out all the first batch of flying scissor sailboats made by the court.

And the result was undoubtedly perfect.

Under this blow, the entire southeast coast fell silent instantly.

Some businessmen who were originally waiting and watching could no longer hold back at this moment and began to join the Shibo Division one after another.

And with the first one, there will undoubtedly be a second one, and a third one.

Soon, the Shibo Division gradually turned into a bustling market from the previous crowd.

One by one trades were completed quickly, and the revenue of Shibo Division began to show a trend of skyrocketing.

When Zhu Houcong learned the news, it was almost six months later.

When a boatload of silver was transported to Kyoto by sea, and when the information of the shipping department appeared on Zhu Houcong's desk, even if Zhu Houcong had expected it, he couldn't help breathing heavily.

"How many?"

After speaking with difficulty, Zhu Houcong looked at Lu Fang next to him.

"Your Majesty, the income of the Shibo Department for the past six months is 520 taels."

Listening to Zhu Houcong's question, Lu Fang couldn't help but speak tremblingly at this moment.

More than 500 million taels.

This is more than 500 million taels.

We must know that the revenue of the Daming treasury last year was only more than 200 million taels. In less than half a year now, the revenue of the three municipal shipping departments has reached the revenue of the treasury for two years.

Even Lu Fang, who had seen the big world, felt that she couldn't help breathing heavily.

"well!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing what Lu Fang repeated again, Zhu Houcong couldn't help laughing out loud, and his expression couldn't help being filled with excitement at this moment.

Is Zhu Houcong short of money?

Of course I'm short of money.

The Ming Dynasty's annual income from land tax was about 200 million taels, sometimes even less, but its expenditures reached as much as 500 million taels, and the annual income was less than half of the expenditure.

Under such circumstances, how could there be no shortage of money.

At this moment, the income given by the three municipal bureaus has exceeded the fiscal income for two years, and this is only half a year. It is conceivable how much the income for one year will be.

1000 million taels, or more.

If it is really possible, even many things he wants to do may not be a problem.

Daming will definitely be able to move towards greater prosperity.

How can such a result not make him excited.

"Lu Fang, tell Yan Song that I am very satisfied."

Zhu Houcong spoke.

"Yes!"

Lu Fang nodded.

"Go down!"

Zhu Houcong waved his hand.

Lu Fang then bowed and retreated.

Waiting for Lu Fang to retreat, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but quickly opened the chat group.

Send this news out.

Zhu Houcong, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty: "Master Taizong, your method is really great. In just half a year, our treasury revenue has increased to 500 million taels."

Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty: "???"

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty: "Why is it so small?"

Emperor Zhao Bing of the late Song Dynasty: "Yes, why is there only so much?"

As soon as the news came out, Zhu Houcong was still excited, but the content that flashed quickly made Zhu Houcong a little confused.

"This, so much?"

Zhu Houcong blinked subconsciously, only to realize that the words were really like this.

"Master Taizong, you, you?"

Zhu Houcong's subconscious words appeared, but he didn't know how to describe it.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, "You, what you, you are too bad at opening up the sea. Last year, the national treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty exceeded [-] million taels, of which overseas trade reached [-] million taels."

"Your money won't be stolen!"

Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty: "That's right, the national treasury revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is also 7000 million taels this year. How could it be so small? Your Majesty Jiajing, you must not be deceived."

Zhu Houcong was stunned, and words appeared in the chat group again.

Just looking at this string of words, Zhu Houcong opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Good guy, the treasury income of his ancestors has reached 7000 million taels. Even the Song Dynasty, which he looked down upon, has reached [-] million taels this year.

Looking back at his numbers, Zhu Houcong felt that most of his previous excitement had disappeared.

The smile gradually stiffened on his face, and he didn't know how to express it for a while.
