The emperor is embarrassed

Ming Zhan entrusted such important matters as Tianjin Port to a woman, a businessman with a criminal record, and a dandy.

Ming Zhan smiled and didn't take it seriously, "Wu Wan and Song Xiang are both merchants, and now they are just involved in the bidding of merchants before. What can you do for them? You are important ministers of the court. You have studied hard for ten years. Are you happy to deal with merchants and talk about money trading? Do you feel that the big deal of Tianjin Port is under the control of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Li Qing, Xu Qing, I have already spoken After it's released, the project bidding will be held in two months, so you can make a precise budget plan for me, so don't let me fool you."

"You don't have to worry about money."

What the ministers admired most about Ming Zhan was Ming Zhan's ability to make a fortune.Since Ming Zhan came to the throne, they felt that they were finally freed from the dilemma of having no money.

Although the imperial court is still not rich, but when it comes time to spend money, Ming Zhan has always had a way to get the money and will never let them suffer.

As for why the port was set up in Tianjin instead of in Jiangnan, Ming Zhan’s explanation is very simple, “Tianjin is close to the imperial capital, and once Tianjin Port opens, it will be a major portal of our Dafeng Dynasty. Since the emperor came to guard the gate , The king died in Sheji. We decided to set up a port in Tianjin. In the future, when we communicate with other countries, as soon as their envoys arrive in Tianjin, I will naturally meet them, so as to strengthen our ties with other countries.”

"This world is too big for you to imagine. In the vast sea, there are many kingdoms and human beings that we don't know. They also have civilizations that are not inferior to ours. Not only will I open ports, but in the future, in my lifetime, I will also Send fleets to other countries, let all the countries in the world know that there is our Celestial Dynasty."

At this point, the courtiers had no choice but to shout long live.

Ming Zhan said emotionally, "It is impossible for me to complete such a grand construction by myself. I need your help. I believe that the British Lord will be accompanied by his own ministers."

The courtiers hadn’t recovered from the excitement, Ming Zhan said another sentence, like boiling water into hot oil, the whole court almost exploded, Ming Zhan said, “Song Yao, Zhao Lingyan, Ji Yongcun, you are the predecessors of this martial arts. Sanjia stayed in the forbidden army for a month and knew what was going on with the army. Pack up and leave for the northwest in the day after tomorrow. I expect that there will be a battle between the northwest and the Tatars in the near future. The martial arts you tested are of course Go to the real battlefield. I will give you the opportunity, and it will depend on your respective abilities and good luck."

The courtiers were shocked, and they didn't pay attention to Wubi Sandingjia's going to the northwest. Gu Yueshan, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly asked, "Why did your Majesty say this? There is no battle report in the court." Do you have any gossip?

"The old Khan is dying. If a new king ascends the throne, how can he win the crowd? Naturally, there will be a fight. Not only can this use up the power of the Tatars who disobey him, but it can also stabilize the position of the new king Khan. "Ming Zhan is confident, and his expression is indifferent, "It's a person who can do this, so why should there be any battle report."

Of course, some people don't want me to build Tianjin Port, so they will naturally do so.So that the northwest will involve the energy of the imperial court.

No matter how powerful the family is, it still cannot compete with the royal family.

The royal family occupies the righteousness of the world.

In this era, people in the world believed that the emperor was given by the destiny.No matter how long the clan's history is, in the hearts of the people of the world, there is still a lack of a sacred sense of destiny.

Even at the very beginning, during the reign of Taizu, the Feng family had already defeated all the aristocratic families.Therefore, this world is respected by the Feng clan.

It's the Feng family who rule the world!

"The aristocratic family, they bowed their heads as early as the Taizu's reign, so what is there to be afraid of?" These are Ruan Hongfei's words. Good at scheming, good at stealing power, as long as you don't fall into their schemes, what can the family do?"

"During Ma Wei's return to the northwest, there has been no change in Tatar, which means that the letter from the third prince is quite meaningful." Ruan Hongfei pointed out, "You must first tell the officials that there is bound to be a war with Tatar. news. Shock everyone and make people think you know it all.”

"Give Lin Yongshang another confidential letter, ordering him to reprimand the salt merchant for not knowing good and evil, and for not coming to the imperial capital for a long time." Ruan Hongfei smiled like a fox, and he glanced at Ming Zhan with his wisdom in his hands, "You have started to build Tianjin Port As soon as I went out, the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were the most anxious. The salt merchants were very rich, but now they have no place to make money, and they don’t know how to spend their money? They are the ones who are most eager to occupy a place in the sea market trade. Salt merchants Although we are afraid of the power of the clan, no power can match the word 'interest'."

"At this time, Lin Yongshang's reprimand will definitely make them even more terrified. Some people definitely regret not coming to the imperial capital sooner." Ruan Hongfei said decisively, "As long as you pay attention to the actions of the salt merchants, you can roughly know which of them salt merchants are affected. It's controlled by the family." Ruan Hongfei suddenly smiled, his watery eyes glanced at Ming Zhan's small round face like a peach, he stroked Ming Zhan's slender neck, and praised, "It's a really good idea to start building Tianjin Port. Wonderful."

In this world, the most useful thing is the compliment of a lover.Ming Zhan wished he could yell twice, and moved his face closer to kiss Ruan Hongfei. Ming Zhan was still worried, and asked, "Could there be someone in the salt merchant who directly belongs to the aristocratic family?"

Ruan Hongfei shook his head, "Those people, just because their family has a longer history, do they really regard themselves as some important and noble figures? It's ridiculous. Merchants are humble, they are at most driving merchants, how can they really take merchants to heart? Although I hate Dajian, Dajian has also done a few things that are clear. When Emperor Renzong was in power, most of the ministers in the court were from aristocratic families. When Dajian ascended the throne, although the situation in the southeast has not changed, the army in the northwest is his It has been practiced. Now Li Pingzhou and the others, except for Xu San, have no family. Xu San is indeed very talented. Back then, when the Sanyuan was ranked first, the nobles were willing to use him, probably because of his alienation from the family."

"You're as good as an emperor, but you understand the word." Ruan Hongfei sighed softly, "If Feng Minglan ascends the throne, the decades of painstaking efforts of Dajian will be in vain."

"Although the family is disgusting, there are also many good talents." Ruan Hongfei suggested, "There is no need to kill them all."

Salt class restructuring has begun.

The price of salt in the entire imperial capital has been doubled, and even the salt merchants who have lost their jobs have to praise the emperor for his wisdom.

The reform of the salt class was originally suggested by Ming Zhan and Feng Jingqian. Yunnan and Guizhou should be reformed first, and it is only in the imperial capital that it is today.

Li Pingzhou, Ouyang Ke, and Wang Rui'an are old friends. The three of them are not young. Now that the reform of the salt class has achieved initial results, they are all convinced.

Ouyang Ke invited old friends to visit the newly built library that has not yet opened. Hundreds of thousands of books have been neatly stacked on the wide shelves. The whole building city exudes the smell of fresh tung oil and paper.

This is a separate courtyard allocated by Ming Zhan, with small bridges and flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings. Because it is going to be converted into a public place, there are benches and wooden benches fixed on the ground everywhere for people to sit and rest.Ouyang Ke sighed, "When I get older and resign in the future, I will tell Your Majesty to come to this library to help organize books."

Wang Rui'an praised with a smile, "I have had six emperors since the founding of the Taizu, and now Your Majesty is a Mingjun. We can also follow His Majesty to start this prosperous foundation, and the third generation is lucky."

"Yes." Li Pingzhou sighed and whispered, "If you want to talk about Your Majesty, it's just a problem, and I don't know how to be extra nice to women." Zhan and Wu Wan's relationship, but everyone thinks that His Majesty's taste is not so heavy.There are so many flower-like palace servants in the palace, who would want a tigress like Wu Wan who has lost her virginity?

However, His Majesty's actions are often unexpected, who knows if the taste will be different from everyone else's?

Thinking of this, the three elders suddenly became confused.

Through the matter of Wu Wan's ascension, the three adults all believed that Ming Zhan's extremely weird inner world was unimaginable and incomprehensible to ordinary people like them.

Lin Yongshang received Ming Zhan's secret letter and the new issue of the royal newspaper, and read the news that Ming Zhan was going to build Tianjin Port in detail in the mansion newspaper and the royal newspaper. Lin Yongshang was extremely surprised.

Then with great hatred, a slap fell on several cases, this group of smelly salt dealers who don't know good or bad!Big mistake!

Lin Yongshang doesn't think the idea of ​​building Tianjin Port is bad, on the contrary, this idea is absolutely ingenious, a stroke of genius!

No one has ever thought of setting up a port in Tianjin. First, it is a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. It is rich and prosperous. Zhejiang merchants, Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants are the most famous merchants in the Dafeng Dynasty. Shanxi is inland, and Zhejiang and Huizhou are all in the southeast.In addition, in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, tea and silk embroidered porcelain are famous all over the world.

It is geographically convenient to set up a seaport in the southeast.

Not only Lin Yongshang thinks this way, but almost everyone in the world thinks this way.

It was never thought that the harbor could be located elsewhere!

Lin Yongshang is young and doesn't know much about Tianjin, but he has read thousands of volumes, so he naturally knows the geographical location of Tianjin.More importantly, Tianjin is adjacent to the imperial capital, right under the eyes of the emperor, not to mention the aristocratic family, even those desperate pirates would never dare to go to Tianjin to provoke.

If Lin Yongshang is in the imperial capital, if he can go to the site where Tianjin Port was built, he will understand that this place not only has the advantage of being adjacent to the imperial capital.In terms of strategic location, Tianjin Port is three points better than Jiangnan.

Lin Yongshang was overwhelmed by Ming Zhan's lofty vision, and felt even more pleased with these short-sighted stinky salt dealers!

Lin Yongshang is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally understands Ming Zhan's thoughts better.At the very beginning, Ming Zhan did not start from the heart of establishing a port in Tianjin.However, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was too complicated, and Pingyang Hou Shizi returned to the northwest with the Northwest Army.It will take more time for the Marquis of Yongding to integrate and digest the Huaiyang Army.

The reform of the salt class is already in progress. At this time, Ming Zhan will not let there be any turmoil in Jiangnan.

However, Ming Zhan has long had the heart to build a seaport and open the sea ban.

At this time, the construction of Tianjin Port is also a warning to Jiangnan!

Lin Yongshang closed his eyes, secretly looking back at all the things he had done since he came to Huaiyang. Although Lin Yongshang felt sorry for Jiangnan and even more for himself, he did his best.With a clear conscience.

Now the governor of Zhili is Liang Dongbo, a son of the Liang family in Shanxi. Liang Dongbo has also been an eunuch for several years. Now that Tianjin Port is under construction, as long as Liang Dongbo is not too stupid, he can join the cabinet just around the corner.

Lin Yongshang sighed secretly, it's really not as good as man's calculation.
