Chapter 500: Two Difficulties in Opening the Sea Ban ([-]rd update)
However, to Sun Chuanting's surprise, this capital, who had been away for several years, was unfamiliar with him, and there were many scenes that made him a little embarrassed.

For example, when he went to a restaurant for dinner, the clerk asked him for banknotes, but he thought they were precious banknotes, which caused a big misunderstanding.

Also, there are storytellers in the restaurant. Sun Chuanting originally introduced to Liu Guoneng that these are "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Words and Two Beats". After eating, I left.

But who would have thought that those diners not only stayed after finishing their meals, but even applauded loudly, and some of them gave rewards on the spot.The excitement and the fascination of the audience left both Sun Chuanting dumbfounded.

This is not over yet, the storyteller was halfway through talking, and he even explained the current national policy, talking about the bank, which made Sun Chuanting dumbfounded, what is this?
He took Liu Guoneng out of the restaurant in a little embarrassment.Liu Guoneng pointed to some buildings curiously, and humbly asked Sun Chuanting, what kind of house is that?
"..." Sun Chuanting couldn't recognize that it was a concrete building, so he could only talk about him.Fortunately, Liu Guoneng didn't dare to ask him, otherwise he would be embarrassed on the spot.

"Let's go and see the Zhonglie Hall. When you arrive in the capital, you must go and see it." Sun Chuanting found an excuse, finally heard about it, and had a reason, and hurried away with Liu Guoneng.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the destination, they were found by the officials and told them that the emperor had summoned them and asked them to have an audience immediately.

This was another unexpected event, which made Sun Chuanting a little flustered. He hurried back to put on his official uniform, tidied up his appearance, and hurried to the Forbidden City.

Sun Chuanting was summoned first, and under the leadership of the servants, he entered the Wenhua Palace and met Emperor Chongzhen for the first time.After thanking Shanhu for long live, he looked a little curiously at the young emperor whom he had never met.

She is indeed very young, and judging from her appearance, she is still immature.But the emperor has a calm and majestic presence, which makes people respect him and dare not underestimate him. This feels very strange!
Emperor Chongzhen was also sizing up this great man. Although he had a connection with a chat group, as a civil servant, he could lead three hundred miscellaneous soldiers and attack tens of thousands of rogue camps.Judging from his calm and unhurried defense of Dai County, he is indeed a capable person.

Such a person can't be seen from his appearance, but he is just a gentle and handsome guy!

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help saying a word in his heart: the sea cannot be measured, and a person cannot be judged by his appearance!

Pressing down on these thoughts, he smiled and said to Sun Chuanting: "Have you ever seen Sun Qing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I read it!" Sun Chuanting replied, slightly surprised by the emperor's straightforward questioning.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "I have decided to grant He Qiaoyuan the title of Zuo Shilang of the Household Department and Zuodu Censor. He will sit in Fujian, governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and specialize in opening the sea. But he is old. I'm afraid it's beyond my capabilities. Therefore, the purpose of sending Qing to Fujian is to assist Governor He in opening the sea. Does Sun Qing have confidence?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.He immediately heard some meaning from the emperor's words.At this time, he was the governor of Fujian, and he wanted to assist Governor He in this matter.But Governor He is old, if he retires, who else is more suitable than himself to take over?
That is to say, my future official career is to be the governor of Fujian, and my subsequent official position is likely to be the military and political governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong!
Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting immediately bowed, and solemnly replied: "The king has an order, and the minister only obeys the order. Do your best and die!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to hear that, and without talking nonsense, he said directly: "There are two difficulties in opening the sea ban this time..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked up at him and listened carefully.

"First, opening the sea is likely to hinder the interests of some people along the coast of Daming, especially those who hold heavy naval forces." Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly, "Sun Qing, be careful about this, and I will also solve your troubles The transfer of Liu Guoneng to Fujian with Sun Qing is also based on this consideration. Sun Qing must be aware of this point!"

This has already clearly indicated who the enemy is, which is obviously much better than going to the local area to find out.After hearing this, Sun Chuanting responded equally solemnly and earnestly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded his head, and then said the second point: "Governor He once said in the Kaihai Banshu that he can earn one hundred thousand taels of silver for the court a year. Hehe, this is too little!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. I don't know if the emperor said that this is too little, how much is it necessary to not feel too little?
Emperor Chongzhen stretched out a finger, and said to Sun Chuanting: "I have investigated, and after the sea ban is on the right track, should I have this amount of income a year?"

"One million taels?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw it.From one hundred thousand taels to one million taels, this is ten times more income!
He has been a doctor, and he has been in the capital for so many years, and he also knows that the imperial court's annual treasury income is only three or four million taels!

He was surprised when he saw Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It's not 100 million taels, but 1000 million taels!"

"..." Sun Chuanting forgot the imperial etiquette and opened his mouth wide, thinking he had heard wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen pretended not to see it, and explained to Sun Chuanting: "I am not whimsical, and I am not talking out of thin air. I have come to the conclusion after investigation. After I adjust the national policy and encourage maritime trade in the future, this number will only be much more! "

Sun Chuanting came back to his senses at this time, although he still didn't believe it in his heart, at least he had returned to normal on the surface.

"The second difficulty I want to talk about is to ensure that taxes are received, and tax collection is strictly in accordance with national policies. Anyone who dares to evade taxes will be severely punished! There is a cabinet, and I will support Sun Qing, just let it go!" Chongzhen When the emperor said this, he stared at Sun Chuanting and asked solemnly, "Does Sun Qing dare to accept this offending job?"

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as tax exemption, and if it is exempt, it is only exempt from military service.But in this day and age, who doesn't evade taxes?If this is strictly enforced, it will be tantamount to offending everyone, even powerful people.

By this time, Sun Chuanting had completely understood.The difficulty of opening the sea ban is not just the opening of the sea ban, but whether all the taxes can be collected after the opening of the sea ban is the key.

Thinking of this, he also knew why the emperor had to meet him in person so soon, and he had laid out the bait in advance, which was the bait for the governor of the three provinces.

Sun Chuanting raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing him staring at him, he knew that he was waiting for his answer.
