Chapter 207 The governor has dug a pit again! 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Jiao Fang looked at Chu Yi and said with a bit of a wry smile and worry: "Master Governor, this matter must be considered in the long run. Opening the sea is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but..."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Jiao Ge is overthinking. When did Mr. Chu say he wanted to open the sea?"
Jiao Fang couldn't help but look at Chu Yi in confusion. Could it be that he heard it wrong? Chu Yi wanted to establish a foreign sea trade port and a municipal shipping department. What if it wasn't to open the sea?
Chu Yi said slowly: "This governor is just setting up a pair of foreign trade ports. The maritime ban will not be lifted. It will only give some maritime merchants an opportunity to engage in maritime trade!"
After being stunned for a moment, Jiao Fang immediately understood that Chu Yi was clearly boiling a frog in warm water, knocking out such a gap in the solid sea forbidden fortress.
As a result, those with vested interests who firmly oppose the opening of the sea cannot be so determined even if they want to, which means that Chu Yi will suddenly have to bear much less pressure.
But Chu Yi's establishment of a foreign trade port and a city shipping department is equivalent to another disguised move to open the sea. This will inevitably affect the interests of those people. It depends on whether those people are determined to fight Chu Yi.
Fight.
After thinking about this, Jiao Fang said to Chu Yi: "If the governor only establishes an external port, then I will be relieved."
To be honest, Jiao Fang was really afraid that Chu Yi would go to sea on impulse. The force was so huge that the literati were divided into various factions. Even so, Chu Yi almost ended up with everyone shouting
Scream and kill.
Of course, due to the internal fighting among the literati, some officials chose to submit to Chu Yi and even be used by Chu Yi. Therefore, there were many civil and military officials in the court who were attached to Chu Yi.
However, the interests of those maritime merchants, powerful people, and tycoons are the same. Even if they also have internal competition, once someone wants to touch a sweet and delicious cake like maritime trade, they will definitely fight back unanimously.
It is not true at all that moving money is like killing parents.
Chu Yi lightly knocked on the table and looked at Jiao Fang and said: "In the cabinet, Mr. Lao Ge has to go ahead and let me know. It would be best to pass on the news that the Governor is going to report to Your Majesty to choose a place to establish a foreign trade port."
go out."
A look of astonishment flashed in Jiao Fang's eyes. Needless to say, this was Chu Yi's attempt to scare off the enemy and see how everyone reacted.
Jiao Fang stroked her beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will definitely spread the news."
Chu Yi nodded and said to Jiao Fang: "Your Majesty has already reviewed the case report of Lu Wenyang's case. His Majesty has issued an order. Three days later, the criminals involved in the Lu Wenyang case will be beheaded outside the Meridian Gate for public display!"
Jiao Fang was not surprised at all by such a decision. It could even be said that everyone in the entire capital knew that there would be crowds of people outside the Meridian Gate.
Now that the case has been completely decided, many people are heartbroken.
Chu Yi knows better than anyone whether the Lu Wenyang case has slipped through the net. At least most of the officials in the imperial court are involved, but being able to take down dozens of officials involved in all aspects at once is already the limit.
If there are too many, it will really affect the stability of the court.
Therefore, Chu Yi just selected some of the bad people and those in important positions to take down. As for the remaining people, some can be won over, and some naturally want to see the consequences. If they are still stubborn
, as long as the court is completely stabilized, Chu Yi doesn't mind killing one or two more times.
After chatting with Jiao Fang about Lu Wenyang's case for a while, Chu Yi watched Jiao Fang leave with a sneer on his lips.
The news has been spread to Jiao Fang, and now it depends on how those people will react.
To be honest, Chu Yi could definitely open the sea directly, but Chu Yi is not a fool. Everything must be done step by step. There is really no benefit to Ming Dynasty from opening the sea suddenly.
The opening of the sea means a lot of wealth. In terms of the Ming Dynasty's current coastal defense, how can the almost non-existent coastal defense protect the huge maritime merchants that emerged due to the sudden opening of the sea.
Without sufficient military force to deter them, there is no guarantee that the maritime powers in the West will not take advantage of these Ming maritime merchants.
Nowadays, each of these Ming maritime merchants can be said to be armed private ships. Which maritime merchant has not cultivated a group of desperadoes who are good at fighting?
It is precisely because of this that these maritime merchants were able to confront Western forces at sea, but when the sea suddenly opened, these new maritime merchants did not have much force.
Therefore, everything needs to be done step by step. At least until Chu Yi builds a large enough maritime merchant fleet for the Ming Dynasty, even if someone proposes to open the sea, Chu Yi will firmly oppose it. However, relaxing the maritime ban on a small scale can cultivate the Ming Dynasty.
maritime trade.
Of course, the most important thing is that through maritime trade and the Shipping Department, Ming Dynasty can obtain huge profits to support Chu Yi's crazy shipbuilding expenditure.
When Chengzu was in power, tens of millions of taels of silver were consumed in order to build such a huge fleet of Zheng He's treasure ships and make several voyages to the West.
With the Ming Dynasty's current wealth, it would be a lie if all of it was really used to develop a maritime fleet.
It can even be said that Chu Yi had no intention of using the family fortune that the imperial court had just enriched.
In Chu Yi's opinion, the combination of port taxation and the joint efforts of the royal family, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang to build a huge maritime trade caravan should be enough to support him in building a fleet in the short term.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Yi is looking forward to someone giving him such a large sum of gold and silver, so that he can have sufficient funds to carry out his plan.
If anyone who knows Chu Yi sees the smile on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth, he will definitely realize that Chu Yi is digging a hole again.
Needless to say, those who were targeted by Chu Yi this time were the wealthy businessmen who controlled overseas trade and each had a net worth of tens or even millions. The poorest ones only had money left.
Knocking on the table gently, Chu Yi murmured softly: "Don't let me down. Let's make a fuss. It's best to make some noise for me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to use the knife!"
Cao Shaoqin walked into the living room with a strange look on his face and said to Chu Yi: "Master Governor, that woman is still kneeling outside, almost all day and night!"
Chu Yi couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Naturally, Chu Yi was not unimpressed by the woman Cao Shaoqin mentioned. It could even be said that the impression was quite profound.
Yesterday, a woman came over to him out of nowhere and asked to see him, saying that she wanted to repay her kindness. Chu Yi was busy handling the Lu Wenyang case at that time, so he had no time to meet a woman who came out of nowhere to repay his kindness.
I originally sent someone to send him away, but unexpectedly the other party seemed to have spotted him and couldn't drive him away. I just knelt outside like that. It has been almost a day and a night now.
Rubbing his forehead, Chu Yi frowned. Seeing this, Cao Shaoqin said: "Master Governor, why don't you let me drive her away."
Chu Yi sighed softly and said: "That's all, you can bring her to see me. I have never killed anyone in my life. I have never killed anyone, but I have never saved anyone, let alone shown kindness to others."
Cao Shaoqin said with a solemn expression: "Could it be said that this person is an assassin?"
The other party was a foreigner who practiced kung fu, but he was not bad at all. Cao Shaoqin still had this kind of vision. After hearing what Chu Yi said, Cao Shaoqin directly suspected that the other party was trying to get close to Chu Yi under the pretext of repaying his kindness, and then assassinated Chu Yi.
Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "Bring the person here, won't you know everything?"
Fifth Prosperity came to see Chu Yi yesterday, but it was a pity that he was a down-and-out woman, and even had problems with his own origins. How could he see Chu Yi without being beaten out with a stick? He was already a Dongchang fan and was beaten by Chu Yi
There are many constraints.
Otherwise, in the past, if someone dared to block the gate of Dongchang, they would really be asking for death.
Cao Shaoqin walked to Fifth Fanhua and looked down at the woman kneeling there with a stubborn look on her face.
The woman has a delicate face, sharp shoulders, and a slender figure. Although her pair of straight and slender thighs are hidden by her clothes, they are still vaguely visible. Her heroic spirit makes her different from ordinary women.
This is no ordinary woman.
Cao Shaoqin looked at the woman and said, "Girl, my governor is compassionate and willing to meet you. Come with us!"
After hearing the words, the fifth prosperous couldn't help but a light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up suddenly. It seemed that his legs were a little numb because he had been kneeling for too long. However, after all, he came from a family of military commanders, and his quality was extremely high. Under the operation of the method he practiced, he was very
He quickly dredged up his energy and blood, and followed Cao Shaoqin into the East Factory.
In the study, Chu Yi was looking through the classics written by great Confucians that Cao Shaoqin helped him collect in the previous series. Almost ten of the dozen or so classics contained luck, which actually increased Chu Yi's luck by more than 3,000 points.
transport.
Now Chu Yi is reading each book carefully. As his cultivation progresses, Chu Yi can feel his thirst for knowledge more and more.
The collision of ideas, especially the classics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and even the division into many factions within these three religions, can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending, extremely brilliant.
Even if it is in the line of Confucian Neo-Confucianism, it still has its shining points. As one of the founders of Neo-Confucianism, Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty, together with Zhou Dunyi, Shao Yong, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, became the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the four sentences of Hengqu have been passed down to the world.
——Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique teachings for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
Chu Yi read through these classics, naturally taking the essence and discarding the dross, and consolidating his own heritage bit by bit.
When the Fifth Prosperity walked into the hall under the guidance of Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi was looking down at the classics in his hands. Seeing that out of trance, Cao Shaoqin naturally did not dare to disturb Chu Yi's reading.
On the contrary, Fifth Prosperity stood beside Cao Shaoqin and secretly raised his head to look at Chu Yi. The moment he saw Chu Yi, Fifth Prosperity couldn't help but feel a bit of surprise in his beautiful eyes.
