Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 213, Taking Tianjin as a Pilot (for Subscription)
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the officials, Xie Qian came out to speak, finally no one jumped out and said that Xie Qian was going to be impeached, and at the same time, those who danced the most were all like flowers beaten by Shuang, listless, with eyes Even though there is unwillingness among them, more of them are helpless.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi turned his gaze to Li Dongyang and asked, "What does Li Aiqing think?"

Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, these officials from the Jiangnan area cast their eager eyes again. If Li Dongyang could stand on his side, then everyone would immediately kick Xie Qian off and hug Li Dongyang's thigh tightly. Said to be regarded as southerners.

Li Dongyang stood up slowly. He was the same as Zhou Jing. He went to Tianjin, saw the prosperity of Tianjin, and also saw the benefits to Daming from the lifting of the sea ban. Among other things, he was able to go fishing in the sea. A few ships here in Tianjin can feed as many people.

At the same time, he also saw the three million taels of silver brought back from North Korea with his own eyes, and knew the huge profits of sea trade. If the imperial court could collect this part of the tax, he believed that the treasury would definitely not be empty.

However, now he has also seen how huge the opposition force in the court is, and there are too many officials from the Jiangnan area in the entire court.

Zhou Jing just proposed the sea ban, and was immediately opposed by so many people, impeached and attacked. It can be seen that Jiangnan Shilin's opinions on this matter are surprisingly unanimous.

"I think what Mr. Li said is very true. We should not act too hastily on the matter of the sea ban. We should proceed step by step. We can lift the fishing ban first, and try it out in a few areas to see the effect."

After thinking about this, Li Dongyang felt that Xie Qian's compromise plan was actually acceptable. As long as the fishing ban can be lifted, people along the coast can go fishing and get a lot of cheap and easy-to-get meat. It is also possible to pilot it in a few places Look at the effect of unlocking the sea ban.

As long as the lifting of the sea ban is really beneficial to Daming, and everyone can benefit from it, more and more people will support the lifting of the sea ban in the future, and it will not be too late to fully lift the sea ban.

Hearing Li Dongyang's words, the officials in the Jiangnan area immediately became even more discouraged. The influence of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian in the Jiangnan Shilin is beyond doubt, and the former students and officials are all over the court and the public, with huge influence.

Some people were very reconciled, and frequently looked at Dai Shan, Liu Daxia, He Qiaoxin and other six ministers and servants from the Jiangnan area, expecting these bigwigs to stand up and be bulls for everyone.

Dai Shan looked at the situation and sighed in her heart. Although he really wanted to be the bullhead and had the qualifications, he was also a smart person. Looking at today's posture, he knew in his heart that Emperor Hongzhi had already dealt with others on this matter. After the discussion, the bigwigs above have reached a compromise.

Now that I continue to stand up, I will definitely not be able to walk around in the future. What's more, it is acceptable for Xie Qian and Li Dongyang to win this compromise.

If businessmen can go to sea in a legitimate way, they don’t need to hide and go to sea privately, which is actually a good thing. I’m afraid that the subsequent imperial court will levy business taxes again.

The officials were silent for a while, and no one continued to speak out. Emperor Hongzhi looked at the general Xungui again and said, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"

In fact, Zhang Mao has been listening all the time, and his position has become even clearer, because he has placed an order for three fishing boats with the Tianjin Shipyard, and when he returned to the capital, he was constantly walking among the generals, pulling With everyone ready to go fishing and do business together.

He has seen the infinite wealth of this ocean. Just fishing, several fishing boats can earn millions of dollars a year. If they can go to sea to do business, they can bring back [-] yuan in just half a month. Ten thousand taels of silver.

I didn't know the huge profits of this sea trade before, but I was able to calm down and live a leisurely life on my own one-acre three-point land. Now that I know the profit of this sea trade, I naturally want to get a share.

Naturally, if you want to get a share of the pie, you can't expect these big families and big businessmen in the Jiangnan area to take you to play. Military general Xungui has never been in the same group with them.

So if you want to eat cakes, you can only set up your own boat to go to sea to do business. This is obviously not possible without the sea ban. At that time, the fishing boats you buy can’t go to sea to fish, and the sea boats you buy can’t go to sea to do business.

But he is also a smart person, and he has seen the situation clearly. It is obviously unrealistic to completely lift the sea ban, but it doesn't matter, as long as the fishing ban can be lifted first and implemented in a small number of places, as Xie Qian and Li Dongyang said it is also fine.

"I think what Xie Gong and Li Gong said is true. You might as well lift the sea ban in a few areas first. I think Tianjin is quite good. It is close to the capital and it is in the north. You don't have to worry about Japanese pirates invading. It is very suitable for pilot projects."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Mao also expressed his opinion, and directly proposed to be a pilot in Tianjin. His words were immediately supported by the military generals.

In particular, Xu Yongjiu, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, stood up one after another to express their support. The three of them almost wore the same pair of trousers. Zhang Mao was the first to contact them when he came back. He explained everything to them and discussed it well. They want to go to sea together to make a fortune.

The three of them all stood up to speak, which almost represented the attitude of the generals and nobles. Although they rarely expressed their opinions and had no sense of existence, their influence was beyond doubt.

After that, many people came forward to support Zhang Mao's words. First, the fishing ban was lifted in various parts of Daming, and Tianjin was used as a pilot to fully open the sea ban in Tianjin.

The officials from the Jiangnan area saw this and immediately understood that the overall situation was settled. Above the court, the officials from the north were headed by Liu Jian, Zhou Jing, and Ma Wensheng, and they all supported Liu Jian, Zhou Jing, and Ma Wensheng. menstrual.

As for the officials from the south, there are no leaders now. Xie Qian proposed a compromise plan, and Li Dongyang expressed his support. The two have great influence, and others can only acquiesce in this way.

Coupled with the fact that the military generals and nobles also expressed their support, and directly placed the pilot in Tianjin, this general trend has already become a reality.

As for the attitude of Emperor Hongzhi, everyone can see it at a glance. He has always loved the people like a son. Now that fishing can support many people, he has no reason not to support it. , It can always be used when needed, and it is naturally thrown into the mind when not needed.

"Since everyone's opinions are more consistent, then the matter will be settled like this."

Emperor Hongzhi saw that everyone was not arguing as fiercely as at the beginning, and everyone supported the compromise plan, so he smiled and settled down. At the same time, he silently wrote down all the officials who just jumped out.

"Your Majesty Chen Qizuo, there are people in the capital who are selling sea fish and disrupting the market, causing heavy losses to the people in the capital. What's more, after eating these sea fish, they developed adverse symptoms, and some were even dying."

"I implore Your Majesty to issue an order immediately to seal up the source of sea fish and severely punish the criminals."

The previous matter had just been settled, and someone jumped out immediately, pointing the finger at the sea fish.

In fact, the first thing they did was to prevent sea fish from entering Beijing, but Zhou Jing first stepped up and talked about the sea ban, so everyone debated for a long time.

Now Tianjin Kaihai is a foregone conclusion, but they are still not reconciled and still refuse to give up, so the spearhead is immediately aimed at Haiyu.

As long as this sea fish cannot enter the capital, these grain merchants in the capital can still continue to sell their grain at sky-high prices, and everything will still be under their control.

The adverse symptoms they mentioned are seafood allergies in the words of later generations. Seafood allergies are not a big problem, most of them are relatively mild, and only a very small number of people will be more serious and die.

Now that they are talking about this matter, they are obviously prepared, and they have made excuses in advance.

Obviously, this kind of person is the spokesperson of the grain merchants through and through. The grain merchants sell grain for two hundred yuan per catty. They will not say that this is disrupting the market. Now that the sea fish is sold for one penny per catty, they immediately jump out and say it is Disturbing the market caused heavy losses to the people of the capital.

This is shameless at all, and it is completely nonsense with open eyes.

When Zhou Jing heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately stood up and said: "Xu Ziyuan, the grain price has risen to two hundred yuan a catty, why don't you talk about disturbing the market?"

"The people in the capital have suffered heavy losses. What kind of people are these people? I think they are the grain merchants behind you, right?"

"Eating sea fish will cause allergic symptoms in a very small number of people, but it doesn't matter at all."

"As for the outlaws you mentioned, I went to Tianjin to buy this sea fish on order, and I sold it for a penny a catty to help the victims of the disaster. Are you trying to say that His Majesty is an outlaw?"

Zhou Jing's words were sonorous and forceful, and Xu Ziyuan, who retorted, had nothing to say for a while, because he was already untenable, and his eyes kept looking at his colleagues around him, hoping that someone would stand up.

But obviously no one stood up. It is not suitable to talk about this matter at this time, because they have already lost the matter of opening the sea, and there is no chance of winning when they talk about the matter of sea fish. Naturally, no one stood up. Out.

Their original plan was to immediately propose the seizure of sea fish in the early morning to prevent the sea fish from entering Beijing, and then it was natural and logical to propose to buy grain from grain merchants to help the victims again in order to achieve their original goal.

Now everything is messed up, and everything that follows is stillborn.

　Such a plan should be more appropriate~ the current pilot, and gradually promote it in an all-round way,
