Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Zhibao sneered.

He is just a reckless man who doesn't understand the big plans of the country, nor does he understand the use of making fancy articles.

He only knew that his eldest brother was not as powerful as the Zheng family.

If the national navy is not good enough, the people along the coast will suffer!

What’s the use of having a home if you don’t even have a country anymore?

After accumulating thousands of fortunes, you will end up making others easier in the end!

This is a story about the Song Dynasty that storytellers tell every day!

"My dear, do you understand why the sea is banned?" Zheng Zhibao felt very melancholy.

I don't know how to describe his mood at all.

"What Fifth Dad means - someone is blocking the voyage to the West?" Zheng Sen's eyes widened.

Although after hearing what Fifth Dad said, the naked reality was right in front of his eyes, he was too unbelievable!

"Haha!" Zheng Zhibao sneered:

"Do you believe there are people everywhere who seek to benefit the public at their own expense?"

Zheng Sen was taken aback.

Then he smiled bitterly:

Yes!

In this world, there are many well-written articles, and there are many noble people who talk eloquently.

If you really use a knife to bleed yourself, who wouldn't frown?

What's more, what is being released is the blood of future generations!

Faced with a voyage that was becoming more and more harmful to him, the wealthy family would naturally want to destroy him!

Furthermore...

The country has taken control of maritime trade, and it is their wealthy family that suffers!

Once the sea trade is snatched away, the wealthy family will die...

With such a high return, it is better to join forces to seal off the royal family first, and then put this business into their own basket!

Don't you see, the imperial court has promulgated a sea ban, and it should be closed to foreign countries, right?

Why is there more and more gold and silver in this country?

Why was it that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the amount of gold and silver was too small, not even enough for circulation, but now...

Even if you are an ordinary person, how many silver beans do you have at home?

Where does this money come from?

Is the sea of ​​the imperial court—forbidden?

……

money mansion.

Liu Rushi held Qian Qianyi's arm, completely ignoring the nonchalant looks of the servants around him.

The two walked back, talking and laughing.

Suddenly, Liu Rushi seemed to remember something, and she frowned slightly:

"Mu Zhai, what did Damu say when he left just now?"

Just now, Damu said that no one else understood Xianggong's intention. What did he mean?

She secretly thought: Her husband married her, a second-married brothel prostitute, as a wife, and therefore suffered resistance and abuse from the people.

However, Omu said that this was a meaningful act of farewell. What did it mean?

Seeing Liu Rushi thinking, Qian Qianyi's eyes flickered a few times in panic, and his face quickly showed affection:

"What are you talking about, Mr. Hedong? What can a bad old man like me mean?"

He scratched Liu Rushi's armpit, causing the latter to giggle and change the topic:

"You are so young, and I already have a full head of hair..."

Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Rushi, who had forgotten to think and stared at him with a motherly look on his face, and his face was filled with loneliness in an instant:

"I am already old, and I am really afraid that one day you will leave me..."

Liu Rushi put his arms around Qian Qianyi's neck and said seriously: "Mu Zhai, I will never leave you, because I love you!"

Seeing that the woman in his arms had forgotten the topic just now, Qian Qianyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but asked like the two of them often teased:

"Hedong-kun, why do you love me?"

"Well~ Mr., I hate it~!

I love you for being talented, I love you for being bohemian, and I love you for pampering me like a baby..."

Liu Rushi looked shy, but she spoke boldly.

As a brothel girl, she usually has red lips that can be tasted by thousands of people, and a pair of jade arms that can be used as pillows for thousands of people. She has said these words thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Qian Qianyi laughed, stroked Liu Rushi's waterfall-like hair with his palms, and blurted out:

"I love you with black hair and white flesh."

Liu Rushi's pretty face was slightly drunk, and she replied playfully: "I love you with snow-white hair and black flesh."

……

Early the next morning, the sound of chirping children came from the door of Qian's Mansion.

The disciple hurriedly came out to chase the people away, but he heard the group of children imitating in a decent manner:

"I love you with black hair and white flesh."

Girls chirped:

"I love you with snow-white hair and black flesh."

……

There are two flowers blooming, one branch on each side, let’s talk about Xincheng County.

The night was already dark, and it was supposed to be the time to enter meditation, but the whole city was brightly lit.

After a busy day, the Ming army was working overtime to count supplies.

Fan Jingwen stood in front of Zhu Youjian. He was the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the East Pavilion, but at this time he was doing the work of a minor official.

"Your Majesty, all the assets of the four families have been cleared out."

Chongzhen nodded and gestured for him to continue while writing and drawing on the paper.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, I have asked my men to count the various goods according to priority."

Fan Jingwen stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and slowly reported the various data that he had found:

"In the land of Yanzhao, the folk customs are indeed fierce. The Jinyiwei has confiscated 96 horses, of which 27 are war horses that can be used for combat. The others are all pack horses, and about half of them are Yunnan horses."

"Oh?"

Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows and curved his mouth: "This is a great joy."

"Yes!"

Fan Jingwen's eyes moistened: "It's all because of my incompetence that Your Majesty doesn't even have a horse to travel with..."

"Why did Fan Lao say this!" Zhu Youjian shook his head.

He patted Fan Jingwen on the shoulder: "Mr. Fan, our current situation seems extremely dangerous, but in fact it is not much better than when Taizu founded the country!"

This is true!

Taizu had only one broken bowl at that time, and he was indeed the founding king with the lowest starting point in China.

Fan Jingwen choked and nodded. He took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement and continued to report:

"In accordance with your Majesty's instructions, I will collect all the iron tools that have been seized, and summon the blacksmiths from all over the city to temper the iron."

Zhu Youjian nodded and waited for Fan Jingwen to continue.

"In addition, Jin Yiwei confiscated 96 taels of silver, 3 taels of gold, and useless antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

I have ordered that all gold and silver vessels of various colors be melted into blocks that are easy to carry..."

"Shocking!"

Zhu Youjian lamented: "Xincheng County is just a small county with 10 people. These four families are not even grasshoppers in the whole country, but they can actually gather so much wealth!"

"The thief deserves to be killed!"

Fan Jingwen had always been resentful about the emperor's execution of the entire families of the four major clans and the handing over to new soldiers for training.

However, when he saw what was seized, he fell silent.

The Fan family is a scholarly family. Although it is not a wealthy family, it does not worry about food and drink.

However, he never thought that the methods used by these wealthy families to amass wealth would be so dirty!

Not to mention the impoverished people outside the city.

You know, even in the city, there are less than [-] households with surplus food.

And the four major families actually have as much as one million taels of silver alone!
