Chapter 63 Jiajing opens the sea

During the Yongle period, with Zhu Di's policy of opening up the sea, huge waves quickly set off.

At this moment, Jiajing time and space.

in the hall.

Zhu Houcong couldn't help but fell into deep thought, his gaze inadvertently flashed across the lines of text in the chat group.

Open the sea.

This is undoubtedly a big decision, especially for Daming at this moment.

Zhu Houcong undoubtedly understood this point better after Jiang Chen explained to him the relationship between Japanese pirates, maritime merchants and the Ming Dynasty.

He can almost imagine that once the sea is opened, there will be a lot of problems in the whole Ming Dynasty.

His era is not Zhu Di's era. Zhu Di has the possibility to suppress everything, but he does not.

If you want stability, Kaihai is undoubtedly the worst choice.

But Jiang Chen's written descriptions and the content he explained made Zhu Houcong understand that he, or the whole of Daming, must open the sea, otherwise, if this continues, Daming will be directly dragged to death.

Now five Japanese pirates can penetrate hundreds of miles and break through the county seat, then another day, dozens of Japanese pirates can come to Kyoto.

Of course, Zhu Houcong didn't know at this moment, but in just ten years, dozens of Japanese soldiers had really come to Nanjing, and tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city were even "hacked to death" thousands of people by these dozens of Japanese pirates. Too scared to go out.

But even if he didn't know, Zhu Houcong also understood that he couldn't make it to that time. After all, the whole Ming Dynasty might really be rotten by that time, and the society might be overthrown.

"Open the sea!"

The soft voice spoke, Zhu Houcong's eyes flickered, and thoughts continued to intertwine in his mind.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how long it lasted.

Jiajing finally made a decision.

The next day.

When the morning sun shines.

Zhu Houcong, who hadn't been in court for a long time, unexpectedly announced today's grand court meeting.

So that the sky is not bright yet.

A sleepy-eyed minister had gathered at the Supreme Harmony Gate.

"Master Zhang, do you know what the purpose of His Majesty's court meeting this time is?"

An official asked his colleague next to him in a low voice.

"I don't know, the old man also received the news suddenly last night!"

That Master Zhang couldn't help but shook his head, looking a little dazed.

Of course, it's not just the two of them who are at a loss at this moment, most of the ministers in the court are also a little bit at a loss.

And in this kind of waiting, the door of the hall soon opened.

The ministers entered one after another.

"His Majesty is here!"

An old eunuch's voice sounded, and everyone quickly saluted.

After seeing the ceremony, the court meeting began immediately.

Zhu Houcong was too lazy to "go to work", which immediately gave the ministers an opportunity to show their talents. One by one, the ministers reported information excitedly.

However, Zhu Houcong on the high seat did not pay too much attention and did not respond.

Until a figure stood up.

"Your Majesty, in the past, Emperor Taizu Gao was afraid that the people would be disturbed by pirates, so he banned the world's seas. "No one is allowed to enter the sea," "traffic with foreign vassals, and private trade of goods." But today, in our Ming Dynasty, all industries are prosperous, and there are even poor people in the world. There are too many, and the coastal residents have no advantage of fish and salt, so their survival becomes increasingly difficult. I sincerely request your Majesty, please open a market to trade ships, and turn private traders into public traders."

As soon as the words opened, the entire court exploded in an instant.

"Bold, Taizu's system will not allow you to be good at negotiating."

A figure couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to punish this man for the crime of disrespect!"

"His Majesty!"

One after another voices spoke, and almost instantly the whole court became a little noisy.

Even if some big shots haven't spoken yet, some people still can't calm down.

This is especially true for some officials along the southeast coast.

At this moment, the figures in the front row could not help but fall into concentration.

No one spoke.

Until a figure stood up.

"There is no unchanging law in the world. During the century of the Ming Dynasty, some laws are indeed not suitable for the world today. If there is any inconvenience in the previous government's decree, you can make a statement to modify it."

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to open a market for trading ships, turning private traders into public traders!"

A figure stood up, and his sonorous words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Even the figure in the front row is the same.

"Lord Xia, this statement is wrong. Opening the sea ban, the country will no longer be the country, the people will no longer be the people, and the world will be in chaos."

Zhao Zhenji spoke.

With Xia Yan and Zhao Zhenji's fate, the debate undoubtedly reached a higher level again.

On the high seat, Zhu Houcong watched this scene quietly without disturbing or speaking.

In his mind, Jiang Chen's words kept echoing. At this moment, Zhu Houcong was able to understand the meaning of these words better.

"His Majesty!"

Lu Fang spoke quietly next to him.

"It doesn't matter, let them quarrel. I want to see how many loyal people there are in this dynasty."

Zhu Houcong chuckled lightly, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Lu Fang was a little shocked in her heart, but she still lowered her head and retreated.

But Zhu Houcong didn't speak, and the quarrel finally stopped after half an hour.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden to open the sea. The people are only seeking profit. If we open the sea, all the people in the world will be bad people. The Japanese pirates will harass us, and our Ming Dynasty will have to spend a lot of money."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

One of the officials spoke.

"Oh, I don't know if this pirate is a pirate from Aiqing's family, or a pirate from an island country. Where did the money go?"

Zhu Houcong spoke in a leisurely voice, and his eyes instantly looked at the figures below.

"His Majesty!"

The words that a famous minister was about to speak came to an abrupt end in an instant.

"Injustice!"

"Your Majesty is wronged!"

The words came to an abrupt end, and one after another of figures prostrated themselves on the ground, with layers of sweat appearing on their faces at this moment.

"Injustice, I don't think you have any injustice. There are hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and more than a hundred people in the capital colluded with those rebellious officials and thieves."

"Five Japanese pirates have harassed hundreds of miles and captured the county. Why don't you just let the Japanese pirates capture Kyoto and give up my throne to you!"

Zhu Houcong's words were lingering, and his voice was not loud at first, but as he spoke, it turned into an angry roar.

Accompanied by the sound of smashing teacups.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Facing Zhu Houcong's roar, several figures quickly crawled on the ground.

His expression couldn't help but be filled with fear and sincerity.

No matter how you think about it, under this feudal patriarchal system, the emperor is the biggest existence in name, no matter what he is in reality.

And treason has been the greatest felony since ancient times.

"I don't care what you think. From now on, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Fuzhou will set up a shipping department. All traders must go to the three places to register. Those who don't register will be arrested as bandits."
