"It's called Nanyang Company!"

His Majesty, who got the new mount, immediately gave him what Zheng Zhilong wanted the most.

"The public gathering and complying with it is for the company. This Nanyang company is jointly owned by me and all the ministers. I have half of the capital and the remaining half of the ministers are appointed to each other. I have to be responsible for the operation. The company will be authorized by me to monopolize all maritime trade with the South and the West, and can form a naval fleet on its own. It can decide whether to start a war against foreign countries in the authorized area, and can establish trading posts in ports deemed suitable by all vassal states, and even the company's territory has the power to arrest pirates in the authorized waters."

Then he said again.

"Your Majesty, what if there is a conflict with the Red-haired Man?"

Zheng Zhilong asked.

This company was his dream. Although he was the largest maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Nanyang Company seemed to have taken away his control of the shipping, his previous control was private salt. He relied on his thugs and used as cash machines for the officials and bosses, and could not reach the emperor far away from the court because he was troubled by the court. In short, this kind of unsafe advantage was obtained. In fact, as long as the court wrote a document or a boss who wanted to deal with him, he could force him to be ordered by the court, the lord who was the noble who was glorious and glorious, and was suddenly driven back to the sea to be a pirate.

This is really simple.

It doesn’t take too high-level, and a minister of the Ministry of Revenue can kill him.

But Nanyang Company turned private salt into official salt.

Even the Emperor Salt is not even dared to move even the chief minister.

This is a fair exchange.

He paid the Zheng family's fleet, but he received a political status of separation with the country and a Duke of the Zheng family, Wandae. Compared with this, that little effort is worth mentioning.

What's more, he also gained strong support against the Dutch. His main enemy has always been the Dutch. Although his main collaborator is also the Dutch, as the Dutch East India Company continues to expand, the conflict between the two sides has become increasingly serious. The previous naval battle between Jinxia was the first real showdown between the two sides. In the end, he won by relying on the advantages brought by his official identity, forcing the Dutch to bow to him.

But more than a decade has passed since that victory.

The shelf life has expired earlier.

Especially the development of the chicken coop sulfur mine and gold mine has already made the Dutch salivate, which means that the Dutch will eventually turn against him. After learning about the true strength of the Dutch from the emperor, he had already felt tremendous pressure. In this case, he couldn't wait to need a stronger collaborator to help him fight against the Dutch, and now Yang Feng has given him the entire Ming Dynasty as a backing.

Then of course he was very eager to ask for it.

"Nan'anbo, I've made it clear that Nanyang Company has the power to decide on the war against foreign countries. As long as you feel it is necessary, you can fight it. Nanyang Company is protected by me. If anyone bullies Nanyang Company, then he must be prepared to bear my anger."

Yang Feng said.

Understood.

Zheng Zhilong fully understood.

The Nanyang Company can do whatever it wants in the authorized sea area. As long as it can make money, it is probably a pirate robbery, and the emperor will not care about it. It even learns from the Dutch that breaks through a small foreign country and loots the treasury and arrests the men, women, young and old as slaves. It is also within the scope of authorization. The company's own fleet is responsible for providing military support, but when it encounters the problem that the company's fleet cannot deal with, the navy of the Ming Empire should be dispatched. That's fine. No matter how powerful the Dutch people are, they will come from thousands of miles away. It is indeed no problem to bully those small foreign countries, but it is still a bit exaggerated to confront giants like the Ming Dynasty.

"There's one more thing."

Yang Feng said.

"Nan'an Hou, you have to find a way to buy a large number of horses from Tianfang, or Persia and Tianzhu, and they must be zhong horses."

He continued.

He could no longer bear the Mongolian horses. The Ming Dynasty's military horses had to begin to become Arabized. Otherwise, how could he continue to expand his territory? There was not only a Jiannu around the Ming Dynasty, but also a Mongolian tribe in the south and west of the desert, but also a tribe in the north and west of the desert. Especially the Junggar tribe, the colonization of the Russians, and the colonization steps of the northwards, also stepped into the North Sea. Poyakov's expedition had long attacked the Heilongjiang River Basin.

Yang Feng didn't want the Ming cavalry to ride Mongolian horses to fight the Cossacks.

"Your Majesty, the mortality rate of sea horses is extremely high."

Zheng Zhilong reminded him.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can transport the zhong horses, the zhong horses are too far away, and the tianzhu horses can be used. They can give high prices to the governors and princes in the Bangladesh area, such as giving them mirrors, clocks, watches, gems, etc., as long as they do such a business, don't care about the cost."

Yang Feng said.

The Mavari horse is still OK. The small curly ears are cute, but it is really easy to use as a war horse. The shoulder height is greater than that of the Arabian horses. First, a batch of Mavari horses will improve the breed of local horses. Later, the maritime industry will develop, and then continue to make Arabian horses or even European horses here, and finally cultivate their own military horse breeds. In short, as long as you don’t continue to ride those large donkey-like Mongolian horses. The latter is indeed resistant to rough breeding, but if you ride this thing, the Ming Dynasty can’t get Napoleon’s breastplate cavalry!

In the future, he will lead the Ming Dynasty's breastplate cavalry to rampage the world.

This is a matter of one's own dignity.

Since he doesn't care about the cost, Zheng Zhilong won't say much.

The rest is equity distribution.

Yang Feng himself owned half, and Zheng Zhilong must have the majority of the remaining half, but the senior officials and generals of the Ming army must also have a share. For example, Li Yutian and Wu Sangui, Zheng Zhilong also understood this very well. The benefits cannot be taken away by themselves. In fact, the treasures he represented the emperor before had already caused criticism. This year, Zheng Chenggong has also given many gifts to these big men. Since this is the case, it is better to be just right. Everyone has a share and should not be jealous of anyone.

In the end, everyone was very happy.

Similarly, the first batch of sinful capitalists in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty set foot on the stage of history.

As for the establishment of Nanyang Company...

This is very simple. Just reorganize the Zheng family's fleet, and then you can exercise monopoly power in a noble way to control the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty. As for other people who were originally doing this, they will be incorporated depending on the situation. They can also be considered as their investment. Just leave a part of the equity for them to prepare. If you dare not operate Southeast Asian routes without going through the Nanyang Company in the future, all of them will be arrested and imprisoned. By the way, the maritime business days of the Ming Dynasty have always been nourishing, and the outrageously low tax rates have always been the guarantee of a better life for the gentry in Jiangnan.

It's just that the court was in trouble.

In this way, Yang Feng received all the profits of maritime trade into his own hands. Since the gentry of Jiangnan was unwilling to pay reasonable taxes on overseas trade in the past, he might as well not do it in the future. The emperor will do this himself.

As for the gentry in Jiangnan, they refused...

Li Zicheng's army was split into two groups and advanced eastward, and fought with the Ming army in Huzhou. In the fierce battle between Wu and Jiangyin on the northern front, Zuo Liangyu's army captured Nanchang and was advancing Guangxin. The target must be out of Jinhua to copy Hangzhou. It can be said that the southeast half of the wall was already in turmoil. At this time, those gentry were not qualified to discuss sea transportation issues with the emperor. If the discussion continues, the emperor only needs to play in Beijing for a year, and they all have to be brain-catched by Li Zicheng.

By the way, the gentry in Jiangnan was quite difficult at this time.

Li Zicheng wanted their money, and the emperor wanted their land. The only one with the potential of the Holy Lord and the wise king was not in line with them. He was beaten up by the emperor and was so beaten that he could fight back. It can be said that he could not find one to comfort them. Although the emperor was getting further and further on the road of a foolish monarch recently, everyone still had some incense. Moreover, the emperor only had land, so he would not have been holding a stick like Li Zicheng. So now the gentry in Jiangnan was huddling in a corner of eastern Zhejiang, resisting Li Zicheng's attack while staring at the result of the decisive battle in the north.

As for who they hope to win, it's hard to say.

If they really want the emperor to win...

This is indeed a bit of a shame.

"The Marquis of Nan'an is more worried about the affairs of Jiangnan. In short, the people of Jiangnan must understand my holy dynasty land system. The key is that this rebellion has become a climate. It is the key to winning the hearts of the people. If our court wants to completely suppress the bandits, attacking the hearts is the key. My holy dynasty land system is to let the people understand that I and the court do not ignore the suffering of the people. It was just that in the past, the court had to pay more taxes when using money. But now that Jiannu is about to be pacified, I will certainly not let the people endure hunger and cold. What I owe them before will be compensated to them this time.

Also, let the gentry not have any resentment, I am also doing it for their own good. If we cannot win back the hearts of the people and the people will be able to win the enemy, then Jiangnan will never be able to defend it. At that time, the loss will be more than just a little land."

Yang Feng said to Zheng Zhilong earnestly.

Zheng Zhilong understood in a second.

This means that if the gentry in Jiangnan opposed the Holy Dynasty land system, the emperor would definitely close the door and let Li Zicheng go. At that time, it would be really not a loss of land. At that time, they would have been brain-catched. Anyway, they were killed by Li Zicheng, and the land would still fall into the hands of the emperor.

Anyway, let's do it yourself!

"I will definitely explain the holy intentions to the gentry in Jiangnan."

Zheng Zhilong said.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

As for what choices the gentry in Jiangnan made, he had no interest in this. Anyway, as long as those guys dared to oppose the Holy Dynasty land system, he would not mind lying comfortably in the palace to enjoy the real emperor's life after conquering Beijing.
