The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"See Your Majesty." Yan Song came to the imperial study.

"Yan Aiqing, long time no see, it turned black." Jiajing sighed.

When Yan Song saw that Jiajing came out to greet him beamingly without wearing shoes, his eyes turned hot. This emperor is really good, and it may be difficult for future emperors to treat him like Jiajing.

Jiajing helped Yan Song up: "Shandong reformed, Suzhou and Nanjing wiped out Japanese... I have seen these in Aiqing's memorial, but the specific process is still unclear. Yan Aiqing will work harder and let me understand."

Yan Song naturally would not delay, and then began to speak step by step in order.As Jiajing listened, he was happy for a while, angry for a while, and finally turned into a sigh.

From Yan Song's mouth, he knew how stubborn the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was. Jiajing was immediately angry with the maritime alliance consisting of aristocratic families, officials, maritime merchants, manufacturing bureaus, and vassal kings. However, after the anger passed, he Another sigh.

"It's hard~"

After all, Jiajing is no longer the emperor struggling in the predicament, without the courage and vigor of 350.When he thought about the long-term planning and suffering and entanglement he had endured to form such a big interest alliance, he didn't have the courage to do it again like the "big etiquette" before.Sigh, forget it, forget it, let's beat the drums to buy sugar, let's go our own way, I can enjoy my old age in peace, concentrate on cultivating the Tao, and don't interfere with each other, this is the head office, right?

Seeing Jiajing's expression at this time, Yan Song knew what Jiajing was thinking without using mind reading skills.

Yan Song sighed in his heart, Jiajing was really old.

However, Yan Song had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he was not disappointed. Yan Song started to play another card.

"Your Majesty, I have just finished talking about everything about going to Jiangnan, but there is one more thing that I haven't reported to Your Majesty... Your Majesty must like it very much."

"Would I like it?" Jiajing became curious when he heard this, "Please tell me, Yan Aiqing."

Yan Song: "Your Majesty, please move, the things are outside."

Jiajing was more interested now, he laughed and walked out barefoot.

"My lord, wear shoes, or your feet will be cold..."

"Hmph, I am the Son of Heaven, a master of Taoism, how can I be afraid of this mere coldness..."

At this moment, Yan Song could feel Jiajing's deep pretentiousness from several meters away.

However, it is now the Little Ice Age, and the capital is in the north. Even in May, the floor tiles are a bit cold. Jiajing has a heater in the room so he doesn’t feel the ground is cold, but after going outside, Yan Song can find that Jiajing’s toes are tight Grabbing the ground, I had nothing to say, it was definitely cold.

But Yan Song took a sneak peek, he was still pretending to be majestic, majestic and mighty, as if those feet were not his feet.

Yan Song secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't expect Jiajing to have such a side, like a child.

Huang Jin shouted loudly: "Bring it up!"

Soon, a group of imperial guards carried boxes of things and put them in front of Jiajing.

"Open!"

Boxes of silver, golden gold, jewelry, red coral, exquisite antique calligraphy and painting porcelain...all were placed in front of Jiajing.

A big piece!

It directly blinded Jiajing's titanium gold dog eyes!

"Yan Aiqing... this..." Jiajing's breathing became rough!

Yan Song smiled: "Your Majesty, the matter in Nanjing was instigated by the Wang family behind the scenes, and I sent people directly to Huizhou Mansion to raid their home..."

"The Wang family? Is it the Wang family that was deprived of the title of the first family in the south of the Yangtze River by the Taizu?" Jiajing is naturally very clear about the Taizu's affairs, and he can be said to be contemptuous of the Wang family. After all, the Wang family still resisted the Zhu family's rule of Daming back then, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rebellious officials and thieves.

"Yes, that's the Wang family... Guess how much wealth was found from him, Your Majesty?" Yan Song smiled mysteriously.

"500 million taels?" Jiajing said a figure that he felt was exaggerated.

Yan Song shook his head: "A little higher, well, try to think as high as possible."

Jiajing pondered: "700 million taels?"

Yan Song continued to shake his head.

"Could it be 800 million?" Jiajing's eyes widened.

Yan Song wouldn't keep it for too long, and said directly: "It's more than 800 million, I counted it, and the total value is 1000 million taels of silver..."

sizzle~~

Jiajing took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Isn't this more than the annual tax of Ming Dynasty?"

Yan Song nodded: "It's really fat and oily."

Jiajing's face turned dark immediately, Daming was poor, and now he still owed money to Shanxi merchants, and he himself was poor, and usually had to dig and search for rewards for meals, and he didn't even dare to build a house, and he was afraid of being punished by the court officials. cursing.

And this Wang family, once suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang and ruined, managed to manage so much wealth in more than 100 years. This is the wealth obtained by the Huizhou government, and I don’t know how much wealth there is in other places. hidden.The wealth of the Wang family will not be less than 2000 million taels!

Jiajing scolded his mother directly: "These damned Maritime Merchants Alliance have used Japanese pirates to plunder so much wealth of Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Song shook his head: "Your Majesty, you may have forgotten the huge profits from maritime trade. I estimate that [-] to [-]% of the profits are from offshore trade."

Jiajing was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about sea trade. After all, Ming Dynasty had a sea ban, and the ministers who knew about it just made their own fortune secretly and would not tell Jiajing.

At this time, he was as confused as a child and said, "Is it so profitable to go to sea?"

Yan Song nodded: "Weichen thinks, it should be more profitable than imagined!"

Jiajing suddenly thought of the sea ban, and his face was ugly: "Didn't Daming already order that inch boards and sails are not allowed to enter the sea? How do they trade in the sea?"

Yan Song: "Once these maritime merchants have a proper profit, they will be bold. If there is a 50.00% profit, they will take risks; for a [-]% profit, they will dare to trample on all human laws..."

Jiajing's face darkened.
