[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

Xuan Ye curled his lips, pointed to the words in the book and said: "You wrote on it that the eunuchs of the Three Treasures went to the West to show off their troops in foreign lands and show China's prosperity, not for the sake of trade, and you also said that they were not for the sake of trade. It is a fool to say that this behavior, come here, explain to me in detail, what does it mean to be useless if you don’t withdraw money?”

"As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; Zheng He's seven voyages to the West brought almost tens of thousands of people to sea, and the types of goods on board were too numerous to enumerate, but he did not use these things To exchange money, even if there is, it is just a small business. He took people out to sea, and those small countries in the sea area were all trembling. The power of the Ming Dynasty at that time was beyond the imagination of those small countries in the sea area, but what did he do? Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Jin said, "It's just fighting for some small countries, regaining power for them, and never occupying any land or city, that's all, but he uses those goods to barter with others, and exchanges rare treasures for more The rare treasures returned to the country, and even brought people from small countries in the sea area back to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. This is of course good, and there is nothing wrong with it. , they will not come, in the final analysis, it is still a word of profit, if there is no profit, they will not have to travel across the ocean to pay tribute here."

Xuan Ye is also a person who can see through a little bit, he tapped a little bit on the book with his index finger, squinted his eyes and said: "You have settled the account for the three treasure eunuchs below, if Emperor Yong Le sees it, I'm afraid it will be nothing. To say that you are stingy, compared with the richness of the Heavenly Dynasty, this kind of money is really out of his sight."

Zhu Jin was born as a financial director in modern times. Apart from studying history as an amateur, she has almost spent her entire life dealing with accountants, accounts, and money, so when she was reading that book, she couldn't help but use her strengths to do the math for Eunuch Sanbao After calculating the maximum profit that can be earned by trading those goods, Zhujin was dumbfounded. This amount of money is not a small amount, it is almost equivalent to the fiscal revenue of three or four years in the most prosperous years of the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Zhu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, the emperor is rich all over the world, he doesn't like these things, if he really cares about the money, the emperor is probably afraid of being called narrow-minded, right?

"The concubine doesn't care about Emperor Yong Le, the concubine only knows that the emperor is also a human being, and as a human being, there is no one who doesn't love money. Is the emperor really willing to reject this money?"

Zhu Jin pursed her lips and said, "What's more, for the people, it is also possible to make profits. Everyone makes money together, and it can be regarded as having fun with the people. As the emperor said, the heavenly dynasty is rich in the world and has countless goods. Those foreigners love these things. Why not just sell them?"

"The two groups of people have been arguing about this matter for several years. Those who advocate the sea ban are all ministers in the court. They firmly support and advocate the sea ban. They say that they would rather ask for less money than trade with foreign countries, so as not to It caused uneasiness; and those who opposed the sea ban and advocated the opening of sea trade were all the local governors and governors of Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. They said that if there was a sea ban, it would cause economic decline and financial difficulties. Low grains hurt farmers, taxes are in short supply, national use is insufficient, and copper casting is poor, "

Xuan Ye said, "Looking at their memorials gave me a headache. I read your book before I approved it, and I called you here to talk about these things. I suddenly felt that opening sea trade is not bad, as long as However, you have to choose a good time. Now that the pirates are not cleared, the sea area around Fujian is not calm, and the Zheng family is entrenched too late. Besides, there are many problems in the interior. It is not good to open the sea at this time. I need to think about it carefully. Think about it, after getting rid of Oboi, make a charter and hand it over to the coast."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Jin and smiled, "Your accounts are so good, you will do the calculations for me later, and you will know exactly the amount of money lost by the three treasure eunuchs during his seven voyages to the West." Calculate it and give it to me, and when those old-fashioned ministers argue, I can show them how to earn the money back if they don’t go to sea!”

Xuan Ye was moved by what the Pearl Brocade said, if the sea trade was opened, it would be beneficial to the people's livelihood in the Fujian and Guangdong border seas, and if the two were used by the people to fill the riches and the goods circulated, it would be beneficial to all provinces.Moreover, the sea trade is not something that the poor can afford. Rich merchants and big businessmen, whether they have to relocate or not, if they are taxed lightly, they will not be burdensome to the people. Saving more than enough money and food in the belly can make the little people feel safe again.

After hearing this, Zhu Jin was not happy, put her hands around Xuan Ye's neck, curled her lips and said: "The concubine is just idle and has nothing to do, and wrote some of her own thoughts in the book, the emperor just read it." , occasionally teasing the concubine, the concubine can still bear it, now that the emperor is confused, and the concubine has solved the confusion for the emperor, why does the emperor still send envoys to settle accounts for the emperor? There are so many ministers in the emperor, who are proficient in algorithms The National People's Congress is there, why should the concubines count?"

"The concubine still has to raise children and serve the emperor. She is very busy every day. How can she have the time to count this for the emperor?"

"Second Elder Brother has been here for two months, and you are also a mother-in-law, but here you are acting like a little girl with me!"

Seeing her like this, Xuan Ye couldn't help laughing and laughing, and was surprised in his heart. The two married for more than three years, he had never seen Zhu Jin like this. Before, she always pretended to be old-fashioned, and she was calm and calm with him Dignified, now that she is more and more relaxed in front of him, in recent days, she has gradually become more and more charming and playful, he doesn't feel bored, he just finds it novel and interesting, and feels that the appearance of Zhujin seems to be more real, Thinking of this, Xuan Ye couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her cheek, thinking of teasing her, he leaned closer and asked her, "Then what will you do to settle the score for me? Otherwise, I will ask Liang Jiugong to open the private treasury , you can choose whatever you like, and I will give you whatever you like?"

"Really?"

Zhu Jin's eyes lit up, Xuan Ye had a lot of good things in his private treasury, and she had been thinking about some things from the past for a long time, but she was too thin-skinned to ask for them, how could she miss this opportunity now?Immediately said, "The concubine and the emperor have made a deal, and the concubine will settle the accounts for the emperor. After the calculation is completed, the emperor will take the concubine to the private treasury to choose things!"

Seeing her appearance of being a money fan, Xuan Ye couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, I said it's up to you to choose."

The things in the private treasury are not worth anything, if she likes them, she can take them all. Originally, he hoarded those things to leave for the prince.

The two of them were so close, Xuan Ye could smell the fresh fragrance from her body, and the person who had been thinking about her for two months was in his arms, how could Xuan Ye hold on?I just feel that from his perspective, the person in his arms is charming and charming, and the smile on the corner of her lips is full of youthful shame. Looking at her exquisite makeup, it is obvious that she has been well-dressed, and the clothes on her body are also newly made. Never seen her up.

He put his arms around her slender waist, and when he looked down, half of the embroidered shoes were exposed under the trouser legs embroidered with exquisite orchids. Xuan Ye couldn't help thinking of some fiery scenes, holding her hands tightly. He tightened his grip, bit her earlobe close to her mouth and rubbed it, then whispered in her ear: "Why don't you wear a flower pot bottom? I like to see you wear that, it looks like a lotus flower when you walk, swaying gracefully Shengzi, very pretty..."

He couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart, he hadn't touched her for two months, he couldn't help but stick his tongue into her ear, and couldn't help imitating that embarrassing movement...

Zhu Jin snorted, and grabbed his arm to prevent him from doing this: "The bottom of the flower pot is sore, and I can't see outsiders anyway, so I don't want to wear it. In another month, Nanny Qu said that when the concubine recovers completely, I will wear it." You can wear it now...Your Majesty, the concubine should not be here..."

"Backache?"

Xuan Ye chuckled lightly, "A Jin, in this world, it's not just that wearing the bottom of a flower pot will make your back sore, I'll take you to see it..."

Holding her in his arms, Xuan Ye eased the throbbing in his heart, and walked into the inner room. On such a warm night, the autumn wind sent him whispering words to coax her, "Okay, I'm not here, I'll take you in... "

-

So far, regarding the disputes over overseas trade inside and outside the imperial court, Xuan Ye has kept all the memorials submitted, and only ordered the coastal areas to follow the five-year decree of Kangxi. However, he did not completely eliminate the hope of those people. The officials who opened the sea trade wrote a specific charter to be studied by the imperial court. This move gave hope to the governors and governors of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong.

On this day, after the morning court, Xuanye summoned Mingzhu, Xiong Cilu, and Gabra Baohedian to speak.

Xuan Ye glanced over the three people standing in front of him with their hands down, and finally his eyes rested on Xiong Cilu. A coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "If I didn't open my mouth just now, you will become a corpse right now. Xiong Cilu, it is a good thing to speak up and remonstrate. I have also said that you can let ministers and workers speak freely about political affairs, but sometimes, you have to pay attention to when to say what and when not to say it. I admire your daring to speak out, but Don't challenge my patience again and again, don't try to provoke Oboi."

Xiong Cilu was famous for his straightforward speech, and Xuan Ye knew this. Xiong Cilu was like this during the Shunzhi period. He admired this bachelor student at that time, but gradually, he felt that this person I don't know how to work around, because blunt advice will only cause trouble, so he is fine with it. Since Xiong Cilu is blunt, he is not timid, but what annoys Xuan Ye is that he has to be responsible for cleaning up the mess he caused. If it weren't for him After talking several times, Xiong Cilu's life was long gone!

In the past two years, Xiong Cilu ignored the evils of the times and was feared by Oboi. At that time, all the members of the imperial court were Oboi's party members. The appearance of giving shoes played a very good deterrent effect, and Xuan Ye at that time also needed such a person to exist.

Today, Xiong Cilu serves as a secretary for a bachelor's degree, and writes a letter on politics, pointing out the hidden worries of the country's survival, and in the last year and this year, he wrote consecutive articles on current affairs, saying that "the people's livelihood is extremely difficult", "the long-standing habits of the government have not been eliminated", " Please also advocate Cheng Zhu Chengxue, "Don't read the books that are not "Six Classics", "Yu" and "Meng", and don't learn anything that is not Lian Luo Guan Min's." On the next day, he wanted to add a crime to get rid of Xiong Cilu. If Xuanye hadn't opened his mouth to protect him and not allowed Aobai to mess around, Xiong Cilu would have become a dead soul under the sword.

Xuan Ye thought bitterly, if it hadn't been for the fact that Aobai saw that Xiong Cilu was just a scholar who confuses the public and is not as threatening as Suksaha, I am afraid that the forcible murder on the second day of taking office would happen again !
