Chapter 1805 Daming, There Is No Ocean!

"Uncle Xinghe, it's so wasteful to go...to the sea, why are you advocating so much?"

An old official with a gray beard was pushed out by the stars. He pointed at Fang Xing and shouted: "There is also the Shibo Division, what is that? Do you know that once the Shibo Division is opened in the south, Daming will have to Move the capital! Do you understand? Shuzi!"

This veteran Fang Xing knew him, he was Ni Shuwen, the Chancellor of the Left Temple of Dali Temple.

The old man is like a living library in Dali Temple, he often expresses his views on cases by citing classics, and often refute his superiors to shame. In the end, I had to arrange for the old man to review the cases sent by him. During this period, there were countless cases that he sent back for retrial.

Such a respected veteran came out to accuse Fang Xing, Fang Xing could only salute before replying.

Fang Xing bowed and said: "Master Ni's words are not bad, but this is not a place to discuss matters. Fang will enter the palace right away, and we can talk in the hall if we have something to say."

Ni Shuwen broke away from the hand that was supporting him, and said with a sneer, "Okay, I will ask to see Your Majesty right now."

When the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace came out to tell Fang Xing to enter the palace, Ni Shuwen also followed in relying on his old qualifications.

...

"Moving the capital?"

After hearing what Ni Shuwen said, Zhu Zhanji's face turned slightly cold.

Moving the capital to Beiping was Zhu Di's decision, and there were countless people who opposed it at that time.

But Zhu Di suppressed those objections with a strong wrist.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, calls for moving the capital back to Jinling rose again.

"Your Majesty, the enemies outside the Great Wall are gone, and the south is rich and prosperous. If the capital is moved to Jinling, I think the Shibo Division will be able to open it!"

Ni Shuwen's words are very sincere and take into account the interests of all parties.

"Master Ni, this is a trap!"

Fang Xing counterattacked without hesitation: "Moving the capital to Jinling, let's not talk about the cost, but the pros and cons."

Ni Shuwen turned sideways gracefully, showing that he was listening.

"It's true that the south is rich and prosperous. It's true that the people in the south will benefit the most from the opening of a shipping company. But we can't give up eating because of choking, right?"

Fang Xing pointed to the side of the guide and said: "As long as you can go to sea for trade, Fang can guarantee that the tax will allow Mr. Xia to sit on the mountain of gold and silver. As for your saying that if you don't move the capital to Jinling, the south may be divided. Those people in the south are too capable. It’s not that Fang underestimated them, Daming has ways to suppress the south, such as taxation.”

Xia Yuanji came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, the business tax has been slowly being collected. From the current point of view, the south has the greatest potential."

Ni Shuwen said: "Uncle Xinghe, taxation is only a means of reconciliation, and the differences between the north and the south still exist. One day, the southerners will eat meat, and the northerners will eat chaff. Dare I ask Xinghebo, how will we reconcile at that time?"

"Master Ni, the north is not useless. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Industry how many mineral deposits the north has!"

The north has the resources urgently needed for industrial development, and there is no shortage of ice-free ports in the north. The key is that the north must maintain the momentum of expansion in the future. If the capital is moved to Jinling, it can almost declare that the northern part of Ming Dynasty has become an abandoned son.

"Master Ni, there are large iron mines and large copper mines in the north, which are already in operation, but the manpower is a little short, so the output is not much. However, the silver mines in Japan and the copper and iron mines in North Korea are producing a lot. This summer Your Excellency knows."

Wu Zhong didn't intend to stir up this muddy water, he simply said something and then went back to work.

Xia Yuanji is also a veteran, so he said directly: "The minerals in the north are the wealth of Daming. Without those copper and iron mines, where would the swords and guns come from?"

The simple words carry threats: now it is the world of firecrackers and cannons!

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji understood why Zhu Di tightened up the expansion of the firearms guard.

He moved slightly in his heart, wanting to take the opportunity to set the tone for the opening of the company in the future, but then dismissed the idea.

This is not the time for a big discussion. If the tone is set at this time, Zhu Zhanji dares to guarantee that everyone will not do anything and just wait to argue.

There are countless examples of this kind of wrangling in history, and some have spread for many years, tearing down a country alive.

Governing a large country is like cooking a small dish, if the pot is too hot, it will either be raw or the taste will be wrong.

Zhu Zhanji looked dimly and said, "Zheng He is here!"

...

Zheng He is here, outside the imperial city.

"Eunuch Zheng, may I ask why you came here?"

Someone from the crowd outside the imperial city asked.

Zheng He is also old, but he still walks calmly.

Even in the dusty world, his eyes are still sharp. After looking around for a week, he said, "Our family is here to go to sea!"

silence!

Zheng He said with piercing eyes: "Our family has already signed the memorial, and we are only waiting for the result of the negotiation between the court and China. Daming, we cannot live without oceans!"

Daming, there is no ocean!

These words were so loud that everyone remembered what Zheng He said.

——If you want the country to be prosperous and strong, you cannot ignore the ocean.

——Wealth is taken from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea!

Zheng He nodded slightly, and strode to the front of the imperial city.

"Chen Zheng He, please see Your Majesty!"

He has the qualifications to call himself a minister, but in the past few years, he kept a low profile and mostly called himself our family.

But today's minister said that this legendary figure among the eunuchs could no longer sit still!

Not long after, someone came from the palace and directly led Zheng He in.

...

"... There are many countries overseas, big and small, and the captives with charming flesh have said that just opposite them, those countries, big and small, are fighting, and they are also coveting the ocean, hoping to find wealth from the ocean!"

"Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, weapons have been nothing more than swords, bows and crossbows, but what are they now? Guns and cannons, look at the treasure ships of Ming Dynasty, they are like a hill on the sea. We can't shut ourselves up! Didn't the former Song Dynasty want to defend? The huge financial resources brought by Kaihai, but what will happen in the end? Have you kept it?"

"Defense cannot be defended, the best defense is offense!"

Fang Xing's voice echoed in the hall, before the eunuch who came to tell Zheng He that he was outside the hall hadn't spoken, Zhu Zhanji nodded, and he quickly turned around to lead the man.

"Dare to go out and see the outside world. Those islands and continents are no smaller than Daming. Those places are not lacking in the things that Daming has! If they are occupied by people, it will take less than a hundred years. Powerful countries are rising one after another. When the time comes, the seas of Ming Dynasty will be densely covered with artillery, and the gates of Ming Dynasty will be blasted open. What can you say at that time?"

Huang Huai said: "Uncle Xinghe, what you said is just conjecture. Everyone knows that there are big countries overseas. For example, how many years has it been since the Great Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty? Have those people ever been here? As you said, An attack thousands of miles away, supplies can drag down a big country. How can Ming maintain this supply?"

Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son!

Many people secretly applauded Huang Huai's words in their hearts, and then looked at Fang Xing, wanting to see how angry this man was.

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Master Huang underestimated the development of navigation ability, not to mention anything else, just said that navigation in the past relied on Sinan and Qianxing, and later the academy came up with a sextant, and the course will become more and more accurate." Accurate. Zheng He built a ship in Jinling, many people know how it works, and it will soon! After more and more routes are discovered, everyone, building supply stations along the way will not be a problem!"

Fang Xing glanced at Huang Huai, a little puzzled that he came out to stir up trouble today, and said: "Those places have gold and silver mines, copper and iron mines, fertile land and countless specialties. Everyone, why did Daming give up these?"

Fang Xing's eyes gradually became sharper, he looked around the officials, and said in a deep voice: "These are all the wealth and land that Daming has at his fingertips, why should he give up? Why?"
