The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity do you want?" Jiajing asked suspiciously.

"Shiship Secretary, now you can contribute 1000 million silver to the treasury a year, right?"

Yan Song calmed down and said in his spare time.

Jiajing nodded approvingly: "That's right. Last year's 300 million, this year's guarantee is 1000 million. It's my big Ming's cash cow."

"If I suggest that you set up a special economic zone on the beach east of Suzhou, within a year, you can create 2000 million taels of silver for the emperor?"

Yan Song calmed down and said in his spare time.

Jiajing's eyeballs immediately protruded!

"Two, 2000 million?"

Jiajing swallowed hard.

Yan Song squinted one eye, saw Jiajing's money-grubbing face, and thought to himself that he knew that the routine would work so well, so why bother wasting his words just now?

Since ancient times, true feelings can't be kept, only routines can move people's hearts!

"Yes!" Yan Song said lightly: "To the east of Suzhou, there is a small fishing village named Shanghai, which is under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou government. As long as the emperor assigns this barren land to the minister, it will be used as a test field for [The Wealth of Nations], named "Shanghai". It is a special economic zone. Within 10 years, the minister guarantees that 2000 million taels of silver will be handed over to the emperor every year."

Yan Song's words are also well-founded.

Tianjin Kaihai, now the shipping department can collect 1000 million tariffs a year. Once Shanghai becomes a special economic zone, it will have a better location and more powerful policies. It can be manufactured, traded, and traded. It can be 2000 million a year. What's the problem?

Jiajing began to struggle.

Although money is very attractive to him, this kind of thing is still a bit unthinkable after all.

".々Special Economic Zone..." Jiajing gritted his teeth and said, "I'd better ask for directions on this matter first. Your book [The Wealth of Nations] can be published and printed, and first test the reaction of the government and the opposition. It will trigger a big discussion. I want to read it again." Look, the tone of the government and the opposition will decide whether to set up a special economic zone!"

Although Yan Song didn't get Jiajing's immediate permission, he secretly laughed in his heart.

Fudge, success!

Although Jiajing has not clearly stated that he can, at least he no longer opposes it.

He also wants to see the results of the big discussion.

Scolding?

It seems that Yan Song has never lost.

This result made Yan Song very satisfied.

He returned to the mansion and handed the first volume to Yan Nian: "Let's send this book (Li Li's) to bookstores and newspaper offices."

With the deepening of reforms in the Ming Dynasty, bookstores and newspapers sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and became the frontiers of ideological emancipation.

Of course, where there is new life, there is also old-fashionedness.

The old masters, not to be outdone, set up many newspapers and bookstores, and fought against the Yan Song faction who advocated reform.

The two sides were constantly bombarded, building public opinion positions all day long, and all kinds of scolding and quarreling.

Yan Song smirked, this pavilion will always add fire to you.

The theory of sea power has sparked a great discussion in Ming Dynasty, what kind of sensation and controversy will [The Wealth of Nations] cause?

"The crown prince's slinging is a bit boring. Let me look at the Theory of the Wealth of Nations this time. What kind of enemies will be blown up?" Yan Song looked deep into the night outside, with a smile in his eyes.

Fighting with the sky, the earth, and the people is a lot of fun.

. . .

Chapter 1267 Jingcha!Panic! 【4】

Although the first volume of "The Wealth of Nations" was publicly printed with Jiajing's permission, Yan Song was not happy for long.

Facts have proved that if Brother Jiajing gave Yan Song one benefit, he would give his own son two.

Two new news came from the palace.

The first one is about personnel.

The emperor bypassed the cabinet, did not use the court to push, but directly appointed Gao Gong, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in an extraordinary way!

Bao Zheng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, continued his previous sad reminder practice (as long as you do it smoothly and happily, you will be transferred away), was kicked away by Jiajing, and changed to Zuo Duyu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate history.

Although the position of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also at the same level as the six ministers, and they are collectively called "Qiqing", but the former minister of officials is a big tomorrow official, and it is said that it is a big fat vacancy comparable to the old powers of the cabinet. , Bao Heizi had only been working for less than a year before he was replaced. His face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he found Yan Song without saying a word, and scolded him.

Yan Song, who was lying on the gun, looked dazed, what's going on?It really wasn't me this time.

Bao Zheng didn't believe anything, saying that this time it was definitely 120 because of you!

Yan Song looked helpless: "Gao Gong is the prince's man, the elders of this pavilion recommend him to be an official?"

It was only then that Bao Zheng believed that Yan Song had taken the blame, so he left angrily.

Yan Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to think about Jiajing's intention of changing generals this time.

Bao Zheng has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for a very short time. He has neither credit nor fault. With Bao Zheng's official voice, why should he be replaced?

It is definitely not good news for Yan Song that Gao Gong was promoted to the position of Shangshu in the Ministry of Officials of the Ming Dynasty and promoted to a heavenly official!

You know, Xu Jie caused a lot of trouble for Yan Song in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Yan Song still used the method of ascending and descending secretly, and tricked him into becoming the Minister of Rites, so that the neutral Bao Zheng could take this position.
