Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 516 The Emperor Handpicked the Head of Qi Shang to Layout the Eastern Trade in Advance
Liu Chang heard his emperor say the words "I often kneel down and lick you". He was so shocked that his eyes went straight.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu was very interested in teaching Liu Chang how to govern people: "Have you heard about Wu Qi? Before Bai Qi, he was the most powerful god of war in the Warring States Period. He fought 76 battles with princes in his life, winning 64 and drawing 12. , without a single defeat.

When he rises up as a general, he shares food and clothing with the lowest soldier, sleeps without a mat, and walks without riding a horse.Wrap the food with your parents and share the labor with the soldiers.

If there is gangrene in the patient's body, start sucking it.The mother of the deceased cried when she heard it.

People asked: "The son is a soldier, but the general is sucking his own gangrene, why should he cry?"
The mother said to him: "That's not true. In the past, when Duke Wu sucked his father, his father died in the enemy's battle without hesitation."Wu Gong is sucking his son again today, and my concubine does not know what happened to his death, so she weeps. "

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and continued to explain: "Although people are in a high position and feel proud of their power, they should not look domineering all day long.

When a general leads soldiers, he must be like Wu Qi. The same is true when facing women and slaves at home.

Regulate the family, govern the country, and pacify the world.The Qi family is in the front, and the world is in the back.

Don't treat women with disdain when you talk about coaxing them, thinking that they are just playing with things to lose one's ambition, which is not the behavior of a man.

Is it okay if you don’t play with women clearly? Look at my ladies, if I don’t coax them to death, I can’t survive.

If the women around me are unreliable, it will take a few years to see the ancestors and ancestors, what kind of country is there to rule, what kind of world is peaceful. "

Liu Chang nodded: "Your Majesty is right, I will definitely understand it carefully when I go back."

Zhu Qiyu told Huang Qi again: "Xiao Qi, go downstairs and look for it, and call Tian Huiqing up."

Huang Qi asked curiously: "Is he downstairs?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "That's also a genius, he figured it out a long time ago, and now he must be waiting downstairs for the pie to fall from the sky."

Huang Qi dubiously went downstairs and searched around.

After a while, when Zhu Qiyu was playing with everyone, Huang Qi led Tian Huiqing in.

The street was very lively just now, and the identity of the emperor has long been exposed.So as soon as Tian Huiqing came in, he immediately paid homage.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Brother Tian, ​​please get up and sit down. I will take my concubine out for a walk. There are not so many rules. Brother Tian does not need to be restrained."

Tian Huiqing thanked him and bravely sat down.After sitting down, Tian Huiqing raised his head and glanced briefly, and couldn't help but take a breath: the two beloved concubines next to the emperor are so beautiful.

It is truly a beautiful and beautiful country, and the key two concubines also have an indescribable temperament that makes people feel ripples at the first glance.

Fortunately, Tian Huiqing came back to her senses soon.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Tian Huiqing about the customs of the capital, and soon got to the main topic: "I want to expand Dengzhou Beiwa City, and build a free trade city and seaport next to it, so as to develop maritime trade.

Mainly facing Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu; taking into account the delivery of materials to Liaodong, and trading special products obtained from the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong.

I don't know if Brother Tian is interested in participating? "

Dengzhou Beiwa City, also known as Penglai Water City, was under the rule of Yuan Keli, governor of Denglai, at the end of Ming Dynasty.Tuntian farming screen, looking at each other everywhere.The number of merchant ships and warships that have been moored near the shore is unknown.

Zhu Qiyu chose to open the sea ban in Dengzhou, trade with North Korea and Japan, and support the construction of Liaodong at the same time. This is the strategic layout of Yuan Keli.

If Zhu Qiyu was placed in the late Ming Dynasty, he would definitely choose Yuan Keli unswervingly.Let Yuan Keli governor of Shandong, let Hong Chengchou guard the Guanning line of defense, and then unite with North Korea and Lin Danhan to strangle Houjin step by step from four directions.This is not far from the strategy actually implemented by Apocalypse.

It's a pity that Chongzhen first chose to trust Huang Taiji's most loyal governor who conquered the south to fight against the rebels, support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty, but later refused to give Hong Chengchou enough patience.

Seeing that the emperor didn't know what he was thinking, Tian Huiqing asked with suspicion: "Your Majesty, Cao Min comes from a small family in Qingzhou. Although he has a little wealth, he is far behind compared with the big families.

And within the family, Cao Min is just a down-and-out kid who can't be ranked.The grassroots are really afraid that their abilities are limited and they will live up to the grace of the saints. "

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "That's right, I don't want to find a direct descendant of a powerful family to help me do business. Think about it, no matter how much I support him, will he be grateful to me?

He already has a net worth of 500 million taels, and I help him increase it to 1000 million taels. What's the point? Is there a big difference between 500 million taels and 1000 million taels?
I am a person who likes to give charcoal in a timely manner, and the icing on the cake is boring.In the end, everyone was tired and boring. "

Upon hearing this, Tian Huiqing immediately knelt down to show his loyalty: "The common people are willing to die for the Holy Lord."

"Okay, brother Tian, ​​please come up, we don't care about rulers and ministers today, we're out to play, don't be so restrained."

Thanks to the role of the newly established newspaper, people in the capital have figured it out.Those who recognized Zhu Qiyu basically began to refer to the emperor as 'Holy Majesty' and Emperor Gongrang as 'Your Majesty'.

Those who do not recognize Zhu Qiyu, such as Lin Cong, Ye Sheng, Li Kan, Zhu Ying and others, still call him "Your Majesty".

This is very obvious, and a person's political leanings can be judged from his title.

And Tian Huiqing belongs to the group of people who are very keen on the situation of the court. As soon as they met, they kept calling Zhu Qiyu the elder and the saint.

Soon Tian Huiqing asked the question that he was most concerned about: "Dare to ask the Holy Majesty, how will the tax be collected after the sea ban is lifted? If the tax is heavy, smuggling will still exist. How does the Holy Majesty plan to combat smuggling?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Let's stop collecting it now. I don't want to collect that commercial tax. Think about it, wars are going on everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and I have no choice. I can't stop it at all."

If I were to spare my energy and run around the world after the Japanese pirates, I couldn't do it. I really couldn't do it.

So I will not collect taxes for now, and build a new city in Dengzhou to carry out free trade.Try it for a few years and see the effect.

In this way, we will not collect taxes, so what are the merchants doing smuggling?Without smuggling, there would be no Japanese pirates.

As long as the commodities circulate, and then the currency minted by the court circulates, the goal will be achieved.

What I want is to get silver mines, copper mines, and then mint coins.

If I can make 500 million taels a year, why bother to work so hard to collect the business tax? "

After all, Zhu Qiyu added: "But if I want to build a strong navy in Dengzhou, it must be enough to crush North Korea and Japan.

In addition, I will also invest a lot of energy in running Shandong.You also know that my fiefdom of King Qi is in Qingzhou.At the beginning, I have to build Qingzhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou into my basic base.

We must learn from Zhang Shicheng and gain the wholehearted support of the people.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. I am not afraid of your jokes, Brother Tian, ​​but the people in Gyeonggi Province will not support me at all.Not to mention Shanxi next door, I have already offended everyone.

If Shandong can't be taken down again, the emperor won't have much meaning in front of him. "
