Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 150 Sea ban and smuggling

The new year is coming soon, and it is definitely impossible to do big things this year, Zhu Houzhao understands this very well.

Whether it is now or in future generations, we still attach great importance to the New Year. The court will seal the government and all the people will be on holiday, so naturally we don't have to think about making troubles.However, it is possible to make something during the Chinese New Year. It is time to turn our attention to business, and it is time to build our own business empire.

I am the man who wants to be the richest man in the world. This ideal could not be realized in the previous life, but it must be realized in this life. Set a small goal and earn him 100 million first.

"Liu Jin, come in!" Zhu Houzhao greeted the outside and said.

Not long after, Liu Jin ran in from the outside. His face was covered with dust and his body was also dirty. Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin helplessly.You must know that Liu Jin is the eunuch by his side, and he is very powerful when he goes out. In this Xianyang Palace, he is even more fearless. He does not need to go into battle to clean up those old files.

But if he came back in clean clothes, how could he appear to be working?This is to show merit in front of the leader, Zhu Houzhao can't say anything, you can't discourage the enthusiasm of your subordinates, can you?

"You go and prepare. Tomorrow, I will go to the Eighth Bureau to take a look. Don't tell them. If they are prepared, we won't be able to see anything." Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin and ordered: "Don't go to the old file. Hurry up, do it slowly, don't break it, don't make any omissions, when the time comes, let those old files be exposed to the sun, and then keep them properly."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant will take care of it!" Liu Jin quickly agreed, then turned and walked outside.

Zhu Houzhao is going to take a walk around the Eighth Bureau to see how the Eighth Bureau is doing during this period. Speaking of which, since he took over the Eighth Bureau, he hasn't gone to see it in person, so he doesn't know how they are doing.Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao really looked forward to tomorrow's itinerary, go out and have a look, and choose a good project to make money by the way.

While Zhu Houzhao was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, although Liu Jin walked in with Yang Peng.

The status of this Dongchang factory owner has been greatly improved recently. Originally, Dongchang would not be very popular with Zhu Youtang, but after the Yangzhou case this time, Dongchang's status has been greatly improved, and Yang Peng's status is naturally It's just a rising tide.After waving to Liu Jin to signal him to back down, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Yang Peng, "What's the matter with you here?"

"The servant has seen His Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao was free to do whatever he wanted, but Yang Peng didn't dare. After the meticulous salute, Yang Peng said: "Return to Your Highness, this servant is here to obey the emperor's words, and the emperor summoned His Highness in Qianqing Palace."

Nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao was not surprised, stood up and said: "Then go!" Then he walked out, and after a few steps, Zhu Houzhao asked seemingly casually: "Do you know what's going on?" ?”

"Going back to His Highness, it seems to be related to His Highness leaving the palace!" Yang Peng gave an ambiguous answer, but he made it very clear.

Zhu Houzhao didn't ask any further questions, because everyone was embarrassed when they continued to ask, and all the way to Qianqing Palace, after entering, Zhu Houzhao saw his father writing something at his desk, so Zhu Houzhao went up to care and said: "Father, Let them write these things as ghostwriters, it will hurt your body to write things like this, father, please pay attention!"

Looking up at his son, Zhu Youtang put down the pen in his hand, stretched his body and leaned back on the chair, letting his son pinch his shoulders.

"My body is not bad, I still have to do some things by myself!" Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "This person can't slack off, he was lazy here today, and wants to be lazy there tomorrow. Things, but together it is a big thing, don’t do evil because it is small, don’t do good because it is small, it’s the same here.”

"My son has been taught!" Zhu Houzhao's expression became serious, and he said respectfully. Of course, it's not that Zhu Houzhao listened.

As the so-called teaching by precepts and deeds, there is power in saying that you will never do it. Zhu Youtang is not preaching, but a real example. Whether it is in the past or in this life, Zhu Youtang is practicing his principles with actions. He never slack off. In his previous life, he was overworked and exhausted. Although his health has improved a lot in this life, he is still diligent.

When a person really does this, you will not feel that what he said is preaching, nor will you be bored.

Zhang Juzheng, the teacher of Emperor Wanli, is a negative example. He taught Emperor Wanli to be diligent and thrifty, and even turned off the lights in the palace, but what about himself?Life is extravagant, travel is always a large group of people, sitting in a sedan chair carried by 32 people, not only extravagant, but also prefabricated, so what do you make Emperor Wanli think?
He is still a child, and there is Feng Bao watching by him, how rebellious is Emperor Wanli?
Now that Zhu Houzhao is preached by Zhu Youtang, he does not have the slightest rebellious psychology. This is not the relationship between the two generations. Even if an adult is preached by someone, he will be unhappy and even have a rebellious mentality. Why do you criticize me?You you on the line?There are many such things in later generations, but when the leader is charging forward, everyone will not say such things, and they are still willing to follow him.

Zhu Youtang could naturally hear the sincerity in his son's mouth rather than perfunctory, and his mood immediately improved, and he stroked his beard with a smile: "Are you out of the palace?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Well, I went out of the palace to the Ministry of War!"

"What did you do?" Zhu Youtang turned to look at his son and asked. In fact, Zhu Youtang was still very curious, because Zhu Houzhao had not expressed his opinions publicly for so long, whether it was the early court or the previous one. Ting Yi, my son just listens and doesn't speak, why did he go to the Ministry of War this time?
Of course, Zhu Youtang knew about Zhu Houzhao's going to the Ministry of War, otherwise he would not have found Zhu Houzhao.

"My son went to look for the former eunuch of Sanbao who went to Nanyang!" Zhu Houzhao didn't hide it, and he couldn't hide it from his father.

"Why are you interested in this?" Zhu Youtang was slightly taken aback. He really didn't expect this. Zhu Youtang knew that his son liked martial arts, and his military strength was very high, and he was also very good at training soldiers. Yuan's soldier Zhu Youtang also went to see him, and he practiced really well, not only strong but also brave.

Zhu Youtang would not be surprised if his son went to the Ministry of War to drop other old files, but why is it the old file of Sanbao eunuch who went to Nanyang?
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "Isn't it because something happened when I was in Yangzhou? I found that many fields in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have been converted into mulberry. Trafficking overseas, the imperial court’s maritime ban has almost become an abolished order.”

Hearing his son's words, Zhu Youtang was also taken aback, and said without confidence: "It's so?"

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Many big households along the coast are doing this business. The number of people involved and the number of officials involved are far beyond imagination, and many ordinary people are involved. They work, they farm for them, and if they are not handled carefully, there will be trouble."

Compared with the salt smuggling case in Yangzhou, the maritime smuggling case is obviously bigger and more difficult to deal with. Most of the maritime merchants involved are some big businessmen, and ordinary people will not be greatly affected.

Because these businessmen have fallen, then there will be businessmen who will replace them. Even if Zhu Houzhao does not arrange for Xungui to intervene, someone will still take over. The common people just continue to make their own money!In this way, everyone will continue to live, and naturally there will be no troubles, but the maritime smuggling case is different.

How many people in the southeast work for the sea merchants?Once the smuggling case breaks out and these people are punished, what will the common people do?Support a group of smuggling businessmen?It is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to do this.

The only solution is to open the sea. Otherwise, once the smugglers are eliminated, many people will have no way to survive. The population in the south of the Yangtze River will increase rapidly. By this time, the land in the south of the Yangtze River will be difficult to support these people.If there is no way out, there will definitely be big problems. Once there is trouble in the southeast, it will be a mess.

In addition, these people also colluded with the Japanese pirates. Who knows what they will do. The Japanese riots during the Jiajing period were not due to the expansion of overseas smuggling fleets.

Zhu Youtang sat on the dragon chair in a daze: "How could this be? Are these people really homeless?"

Looking at Zhu Youtang's appearance, Zhu Houzhao felt a little distressed. The emperor of Ming Dynasty was concealed from the world, and the lonely family was not just talking.But Zhu Houzhao also knows that the root of this matter is the sea ban, and a sea ban will make the southeast maritime merchants have nothing to do. Aren't they worried about being caught?Don't they worry about something going wrong?
They are also worried, but when a person reaches the point where he can no longer survive, he dares to do anything, and when he gets too big, it is impossible to let go.

With a quick way to make money, who would switch back to doing a normal job?This principle can be verified in many illegal industries in later generations, and it is difficult to turn back after entering.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to say it at first, but seeing Zhu Youtang's appearance, he opened his mouth and said: "Father, the carrying capacity of the land and the increase in population will become more and more out of balance. If you don't think about it, you will be unable to bear it sooner or later. Merchants along the coast want to smuggle for profit, although it is against the law, it is sympathetic."

Of course, these words are just Zhu Houzhao's words to comfort Zhu Youtang. He doesn't have much sympathy for those smugglers, and he will definitely clean up a group in the future.

This has nothing to do with personal standpoint. It is an industry that grows wildly. If you want to bring it into management, you must prune it, but you can’t pruning it too hard, otherwise you won’t be able to grow.
