Royal Gold Magistrate

Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "King Wu cannot be killed. Only when he escapes can Dajing have the opportunity to do business with the outside world."

"But hasn't Dajing established business with overseas long ago? What does this have to do with King Wu?" Xie Xian asked curiously.

Fangzheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "Those so-called trade deals are nothing more than small-scale troubles, not a big deal!"

"The world is huge, and there are still many unexplored places. There are many magical crops like sweet potatoes overseas. Not only that, but all kinds of treasures are inexhaustible!"

Although Dajing clearly did not enforce the sea ban, it is actually not much different from the sea ban.

If ordinary people want to go to sea, they must first submit an application to the government. As for how many procedures, how much time it takes, and how much exploitation they will suffer, it is impossible to imagine.

Regulations are always just regulations. Although it is on the surface, it is often another matter to implement it.

On the other hand, the Dajing court also had trade with overseas countries, but most of them were concentrated in overseas dependent countries, which belonged to tributary trade.

There is nothing to say about this aspect, because it is mainly based on rewards, and it has been losing money year after year!

There is a risk of encountering pirates when people go to sea, and the imperial court needs to spend more on coastal defense.The official fleet goes to sea, and there is no profit.

As for the interior of the big scene, there is a vast land and abundant resources, and there is no reason to venture out to sea at all!

This is the curse of resources. People who can make money lying down and have a lot of wealth often have no motivation to seek change

Therefore, the court started from the bottom up, and there was no reason to spend huge amounts of money to explore unknown places.

And hatred is an excellent motivation. Now that King Wu is fleeing, it doesn't matter whether he escapes overseas successfully or dies on the way.

Fangzheng thought in his heart that as long as he went back and worked on it, he would be sure to persuade the court.

However, it's not that he didn't try his best before. He still has some concerns about the sea trade, which is related to the future trend after all.

It was occasionally mentioned twice in the memorial, but it was successfully ignored by Emperor Jing.

But this time is different, King Wu's accidental trip to sea has brought him quite a shock from the heart.

In the past, I just wanted to lead the people below to live a better life, but when King Wu's big ship began to appear.

Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt the wheel of history rolling over his face!

As a time traveler, personal struggle is important, but you must also consider the progress of history!

What's more, in fact, resources are not the most important thing, what is important is to see the world and open your eyes to seize the opportunity!

Fangzheng has no doubts at all that the land of Dajing seriously lacks the soil for the birth of science, and the tragedies in the history books of previous lives may be re-interpreted thousands of years later without exception.

It's not that the big scene is not smart enough, but that the ruling class is too smart and the political system is extremely premature!

Under the rule of the imperial power, whether the people suffer or not is actually second to none. What is more important is long-term stability and stability of the imperial power.

This is a chronic disease that all emperors in the past dynasties cannot avoid. New technologies will bring drastic changes in the social structure. In order to prevent this fluctuation, they even do not hesitate to obliterate science and close the country.

A typical example is the Qing emperors.

In the interpretation of TV dramas, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has always been a mentally handicapped state with closed eyes and despising the strange skills of the West.

But it is not!Emperor Kangxi himself had studied astronomy and mathematics, and could use a hand-cranked computer to calculate the square root formula.Participated in the river control project in person, taught officials how to calculate the water flow of the river,

In addition, Kangxi also personally dabbled in modern medicine, dissected animals, and popularized vaccinia. He not only planted it himself, but also let the people below follow him.

In terms of culture, not to mention Manchu, Kangxi himself can speak some Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, Latin, English, and Spanish.There will also be simple foreign language communication with missionaries.

The history of the world has developed to the period of Kangxi's rule, and other countries in the same period have begun to use technology to reform society. Doesn't someone like Kangxi know about it?The truth is, not only did he know, but he also learned it himself, and he learned it very deeply!

Kangxi also ordered missionaries to translate Western books into Manchu for him to read, and he personally watched the translation work in the palace to avoid being seen by outsiders.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty had a clear understanding of the development process of Western Europe and the power of technology.

But even so, he still chose to close the country.The only reason is to avoid unrest among the people!This kind of turmoil is constantly being staged in other countries. This is the evil result that an emperor who grew up under traditional cultural thinking absolutely cannot bear!

Fortunately, everything is still in the embryonic state.

The world is still in a state of fragmentation, overseas shipbuilding technology is not too strong, and judging from King Wu's attitude, there must be no gunpowder overseas.

Emperor Jing is also an ambitious emperor, and Dajing itself has a huge advantage. Once Kaihai grabs huge profits from overseas, the entire court will rush to another completely different route for this!

Even though the society is in turmoil, it is the real future, and Fang Zheng knows it better than anyone else!

Fang Zheng couldn't help being a little excited when he thought about this magnificent scene of driving the gears of history to change with his own power.

"Master, how are you sure there are treasures overseas?" Xie Xian asked curiously.

"My father was a sailor when he was young, and he told me about it." Fang Zhengyi said lightly.

"......"

"Okay, now it seems that there are some problems. I didn't expect the king of Wu to burn the boat. But according to the king of Wu, his boats were all made by a family in Yuding City. You should take a rest first, and then Send someone to check for me, which one is it? After we find out, we will immediately take people back to Beijing! By the way, the officials here may have contact with King Wu, so keep a low profile so as not to attract the attention of the government.”

"That...Master, we are out of money. In order to reduce the burden, we only brought food when we searched for you in the mountains, but now there are some food left. Otherwise, I will send someone back to Haiyuan City to get some Money?" Zhao Lie was a little embarrassed.

Fangzheng was stunned on the spot, this can't let the brothers sleep on the street!Going back to get the silver is too waste of time!

After thinking for a moment, Fangzheng made a decision: "You still have some money, don't you? Find a cheap inn to make do with it for a couple of days, and I'll find a way to raise some money for you. You don't have to worry about that."

Speaking of money, Zhou Tie touched his chin and asked, "Master, what are you doing in the city these days? Why did you get another maid?"

"I saw that you set off fireworks in the city two days ago. Did you guess that we went outside the city? Could it be that you are going to cheat the rich lady?"

The three people looked at Fang Zhengyi curiously at the same time, and Fang Zhengyi blushed: "How do you talk? Master, I can still do such a shameless thing?"

Chapter 2 has been delivered, I will definitely make up for you in the future, I will remember o(╥﹏╥)o
