Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

After today's teaching, Li Shanchang returned to his home by carriage from the Duke's mansion.

Seeing Li Shanchang's smiling face, the housekeeper who had been serving by his side felt that his master seemed to be in a particularly happy mood today, so he couldn't help asking: "What happy event did master encounter today?"

Li Shan let out a big laugh: "Isn't it? Ever since the old man accepted Xu's little grandson as a student, I feel comfortable and at ease every day!"

The housekeeper smiled: "A few days ago, the slave saw that the master heard that His Majesty ordered the master to teach the second son of the Duke's Mansion. You were not happy, but now you are very happy."

Li Shanchang smiled as he walked: "Yeah, at first, this old man felt that His Majesty's move was not in line with this noble status of this old man. But now this old man really likes the little grandson of the Xu family. That child is very smart and well-behaved. Wizard, what else is there to be unhappy about, this old man!"

The housekeeper respectfully served hot tea to Li Shanchang: "The servant has also heard about it, saying that the child is like a prodigy who fell from the sky, and he is indeed much smarter than many children of the same age."

"Not only is he smarter than children of the same age, he is actually much smarter than many adults who are officials in the court!" Li Shanchang praised Zhu Xiongying without hesitation.

The housekeeper smiled: "Is this child really as good as the master said?"

Li Shanchang shook his head: "There is nothing worse than that!"

The housekeeper blessed the body: "As long as the master feels happy in his heart, it's fine. After a hard day's work, the master must be hungry too. The servant will go and see if dinner is ready."

Li Shanchang nodded, waved his hands, and the housekeeper bowed and retreated.

Li Shanchang took a sip of hot tea, thinking of what Zhu Xiongying said during the day, he felt a little troubled.

Although what Zhu Xiongying said is reasonable, and indeed he has given a suitable solution, if what he said is true, for the entire economy of the Ming Dynasty, the advantages will naturally outweigh the disadvantages

But this matter is of great importance after all, and there is no room for mistakes.

Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were at a loss for what to do about the sea ban. After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't find a solution.

Again, someone really has to stand up and give a solution at an important moment.

But let's not say that he reported these suggestions, will Zhu Yuanzhang agree to adopt them?

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang did decide so in the future, what should the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think?No one can guarantee whether this matter will progress smoothly.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace was also thinking about the sea ban.

It can be said that the matter of the sea ban has been really imminent recently.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang has personally issued an edict to strictly prohibit maritime affairs. No one in the Ming Dynasty can trade in the sea without permission, and those who violate the order will be severely punished.

But now the sea ban is in big trouble.

Strictly prohibiting maritime affairs has indeed prevented the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and others from colluding with domestic party members and posing a threat to the safety and stability of the Ming Dynasty.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. In this regard, the sea ban can indeed guarantee the safety of the Ming Dynasty.

But it also blocked a channel of economic circulation, making it impossible for many trades to be carried out, and silver could not enter Daming.As Zhu Xiongying said, maritime trade is a way to make money.

But now the money can't come, and domestic agricultural taxation alone is really not enough to support domestic expenditures.Over time, it will naturally lead to insufficient income and empty treasury.

Relaxing the sea ban and restarting shipping is indeed the solution to this urgent need now, but is the benefit outweighing the harm or the harm outweighing the benefit?Zhu Yuanzhang has his own views.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always strictly prohibited maritime trade, some necessary exchanges and transactions are still unavoidable.

And the huge profits brought by the remaining sea freight have been monopolized by various powerful families early on.Now, the aristocratic family has already occupied this fertile field alone, and if they reopen the sea, it will be to let them give up their profits.

Once the imperial court reaches out to divide the cake of sea transportation, those aristocratic families are bound to strongly oppose it.

These aristocratic families usually see that you don't let me, I don't let you, no one is pleasing to the eye, and they fight with each other openly and secretly.However, once someone wants to reach out to touch the cake they share, these aristocratic families will spontaneously unite to resist "foreign enemies".

Zhu Yuanzhang has been in power for many years, how could he not know how powerful these people are.

If he insists on going his own way, promotes the opening of the sea, and lifts the ban on the sea, I am afraid that every family and family will be the first to stand up to oppose it. The combined strength of these families cannot be underestimated.

In the capital city, the influence of these aristocratic families spread all over the corners, and their influence was so powerful that even he, the emperor, couldn't match it.

Once he opened the sea, he would become the target of everyone's attack and become the target of public criticism.

Few of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up and support themselves. After all, these officials had more or less obtained some benefits from shipping.

If you really want them to impart these benefits to others selflessly, I am afraid it is really a dream.

but……

Zhu Xiongying's lovely smiling face suddenly appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

What a lovely child...

If only you were my own grandson...

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but began to sigh...

Such a clever child, he failed to prove that he is his own grandson!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang still followed his original idea-opening the sea.

Is this really the way to go about shipping?Is it really possible to carry on?
"What should I do..."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to say something with emotion.

"Is it true that I really want to stand by and watch the foundation of the dynasty that I have worked so hard to build lose in my own hands?" Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, "How can I be reconciled to this?"

Zhu Xiongying's face and words came to mind again.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled wryly: "Heh, when did I become so indecisive and hesitant? This is my country, so naturally I have the final say!"

Zhu Xiongying's face seemed to give Zhu Yuanzhang great courage.

My country naturally wants to listen to me!
For the country and the people, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the king of a country, must be the symbol of the highest power in the world!

No matter who dares to stand in the way of my reform, his head must fall!

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly made up his mind to lift the sea ban and open the sea, he Zhu Yuanzhang decided!
Now he and Zhu Xiongying are on the same front.

No matter who dares to stop him, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let it go easily.
