In Tianjin, Liu Jin has been paying attention to the situation in the capital.
With the arrival of sea fish into Beijing, the famine situation in the capital has finally been alleviated. Although the millions of catties of sea fish every day cannot feed the entire people in the capital, at least they will not starve to death. A penny per catty is enough.
The price is also affordable for everyone.
In addition, the imperial court still had some food on hand, and the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China also donated some food to cook porridge for disaster relief. The victims had something to eat and could survive, and everything else was easy to say.
"Teacher, the price of food here in the capital has not dropped yet, but those grain merchants have stopped buying food from the south."
Tong Yuan reported to Liu Jin the latest news from the capital very respectfully. This was his work during this period, paying attention to the price of grain in the capital, paying attention to the price of grain from the south in all directions, its whereabouts, etc.
"It seems that they still don't give up. It is estimated that their counterattack will come in the next two days."
After listening to Tong Yuan's report, Liu Jin thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "These people are really evil-minded. It's scary to think about two hundred coins per pound of food."
"Everyone who makes it difficult for the country to make money should be killed."
Tong Yuan also said angrily, if it was just selling for tens of cents per catty, it wouldn't make people so angry, but now it's selling for two hundred cents per catty, which is simply not a way for people to live.
"Brother Jin, Brother Jin~"
While the two were discussing, Zhao Erhu hurried over.
"There's news from the capital, there's news from the capital."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became energetic.
"The sea ban has been launched. During the morning meeting this morning, Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Revenue, proposed a comprehensive sea ban. However, he met with strong opposition from officials from the southern region. However, the three cabinet ministers and military generals all expressed their support for the sea ban. In the end,
First, we lifted the fishing ban and allowed coastal areas to fish in the sea."
"At the same time, Tianjin has become the first pilot area to fully open the sea ban. Not only has the sea ban been opened, sea trade is also legal here in Tianjin."
Zhao Erhu seemed very excited when he said this, because he knew that this was the news that Liu Jin wanted to hear most.
"Very good!"
Before Liu Jin could speak, Tong Yuan on the side couldn't help shouting excitedly.
He followed Liu Jin. Although he didn't learn much about the Four Books and Five Classics, he learned a lot about other things. He even saw with his own eyes the richness of the ocean, the huge profits of sea trade, and knew the importance of the ocean.
sex.
He also clearly knows that this forbidden sea has a great impact on the layout of his mentor Liu Jin. Now that he has heard that the fishing ban has been lifted, Tianjin has become a pilot to fully lift the sea ban. This is absolutely huge.
Victory has a huge influence on Tianjin, his mentor, or the entire Ming Dynasty.
"It's a pity that just lifting the fishing ban only opens up Tianjin."
After listening to this, Liu Jin was not as happy as he imagined. Instead, he felt a little regretful. In his heart, Liu Jin finally understood the great power of the Southern Scholars.
Now is the Hongzhi period, and the Southern Scholars have not completely controlled the entire court situation. Logically speaking, based on his own layout, the emperor supports the establishment of a sea ban, the generals and nobles also support the establishment of a sea ban, and some of the six important ministers of the cabinet also support the establishment of a sea ban.
Maritime ban.
Liu Jin originally estimated that the sea ban would not be a big problem, but judging from the current situation, he still underestimated the influence of Shilin in the south.
It turned out that they only imposed a fishing ban, and it was only used as a pilot in Tianjin. This was far from what I expected.
"Well, at least the fishing ban has been lifted, and Tianjin has also been opened. Finally, the tight door of Folding Fan has been opened a little bit. I believe that as more and more wealth flows from Tianjin to Ming Dynasty, I don't believe in those
People can still sit still, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of benefit."
"The Southern Shilin opposes the sea ban because the sea ban is beneficial to them. If the sea ban is detrimental to them and lifting the sea ban is beneficial to them, there will definitely be no problem in fully lifting the sea ban."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile.
As long as Ming Dynasty can open its own door and come into contact with the vast world outside, it will not slowly fall behind and can keep up with the pace of the Age of Discovery.
In this case, the future of the entire Ming Dynasty will turn to an unknown direction, and the fate of the Chinese nation will also change. It will not be ruled by foreigners in a hundred years, let alone be left behind and beaten in a few hundred years, or even almost even be defeated.
His spine was broken.
This is what Liu Jin has been working hard to achieve silently.
As a member of the time-traveling army, getting rich and getting promoted is nothing at all. It is rare to do something and change something for this era, this land, and this nation.
Although the fishing ban is only lifted now, and it is only a pilot project in Tianjin, it is also a good start. If you have a boat that can go to sea, you can continuously obtain a large amount of food from the ocean, and you can also get it from all over the world.
Continuously obtain massive wealth.
The food in the ocean can benefit ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. Marine fish is definitely the cheapest and most nutritious meat in this era, and it is also the easiest to obtain.
Marine fish are extremely rich in nutritional value, which can improve the physical quality of Ming people and strengthen their bodies. If people want to grow taller and have strength, eating is absolutely inseparable from it.
The average height of the new generation in future generations is getting higher and higher largely because the standard of living is getting higher and higher. People are eating better and better, so they are naturally taller.
If the Ming Dynasty could acquire vast and fertile colonies overseas, ordinary people would benefit even more.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were many people but little land, and the fields were very valuable. However, in the vast world outside the Ming Dynasty, there was endless land and countless fertile fields. If you immigrated to these places, ordinary people could also obtain a large amount of land.
, no longer need to be crowded in this ancient land.
With the expansion of immigration, the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties can thrive all over the world. In a few hundred years, there will be descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties all over the earth.
The fate of the Ming Dynasty and the fate of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be completely changed.
"But we still have to be cautious. We just imposed a fishing ban and opened Tianjin as a pilot. The maritime merchants in the south, Shilin, will definitely not give up so easily. Moreover, this battle is not over yet, and they are still unwilling to lower their authority."
Food prices must be something we are still waiting for."
