Of course, this also puts great pressure on Nanjuyi.

He knew that everything else could be put aside now, and the emperor's secret decree was the top priority, and he had to complete it even if he had to fight his life.

The 200,000 taels of silver that the emperor drew was not too much. If a soldier gave him ten taels, it would cost almost half of it. Then the navy was dispatched to prepare the materials, and there was not much left.

But Nan Juyi had the confidence and nothing else. He also told him something in the secret decree, opening a port to trade in Xiamen.

Although Yuegang, the only trading port in the Ming Dynasty, is in Fujian. However, there are problems with the tariff policy and can only collect tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. Are you angry?

"The strange tourists from all directions gather in Yuegang", "The profits of merchants and civilians in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou counties are everywhere, and the East and West are sold, and the farmers and merchants in the past are everywhere." Haicheng County alone has "a family of seven... ten times more than the past".

Judging from these descriptions, it was obviously unprecedented. However, Zhu Youxiao was holding the data of 35,000 taels of silver in the shipment tax and was in tears.

In a year, my Ming Dynasty customs collected this little money? It’s better to have a good history, right?

Nanjuyi has read the general charter of the Xinshibo Department and believes that it is quite feasible and is much better than Yuegang's current implementation.

Half of the revenue of Xiamen Maritime Control Department will be transferred to the General Administration Department, that is, local finance, for the coastal defense construction in Fujian.

After a rough calculation, Nanjuyi felt that he was sure to spend tens of thousands of taels of military expenses over a year.

Moreover, Yuegang is located at the mouth of the Kowloon River and is an inland river port. A large amount of silt is gradually silting the port, which is also a major reason that affects Yuegang's overseas trade.

Good Xiamen, good Xiamen!

Nanjuyi asked someone to summon civil and military officials to come for a meeting, but he did not think that the return of the Red-Farewell Yi would have any serious consequences.

The Red-Farewell Yi came from all the way, not just for the purpose of trade. Since the sea ban has been lifted, it is unlikely that he will do business honestly, and it is impossible to take big wars.

Of course, the emperor must do what he has assigned and the task must be completed beyond the limit.

As for the Eastern Band, it is a good place to look at the emperor’s meaning.

When there is another famine in Fujian, the refugees will be moved there. It is both a disaster relief and a satisfactory emperor. It is the best of both worlds!

……………………

When Shen Yourong walked out of the palace with excitement and emotion, night had already fallen.

He was already the new general of the military affairs officer of the Donghai Navy Division, and was appointed as the Shaobao, and stationed in Chongming Island, Hua.

From Dengzhen to Beijing to meet with him, to the Admiral of the Donghai Navy, Shen Yourong thought about his experiences over the past few days, and he still felt like he was in a dream.

After decades of hard work, he was born and died, and had fought with the Japanese pirates, Tartars, and Jiannu before he became a general.

And in just a few days, not only did the official promotion and power increase, but the emperor also had to rely on trust. I couldn't believe it.

However, this is indeed true.

Shen Yourong reached out and brushed the robe he wore. It was the flying fish suit that symbolized the highest courtesy given by the emperor, and it was the highest honor that his ministers could receive.

First-class python suit, second-class flying fish, third-class bullfighting, and fourth-class unicorn.

Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai had received the honor of the imperial python costume. Shen Yourong did not dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qi Shuai. He was so excited that he was so grateful to get the flying fish suit.

Lian Po is old, can he still eat?

Shen Yourong looked back at the solemn Meridian Gate, as if he saw the eagerly anticipated gaze of the young emperor.

He gave a deep tribute, his palm fell down, and he stroked the long beard under his jaw.

Then, he straightened his back and turned around and walked forward, as if he wanted to let the emperor see that he was healthy and able to serve the king and the country.

In the Ganqing Palace, the young emperor slowly retracted his gaze looking outside the hall and prayed in his heart: Be calm and tolerant, the old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles, so don’t let my expectations down.

Regardless of whether the Dutch will make a comeback as in history, a powerful navy that will at least dominate East Asia is completely necessary.

Without monopoly, where can huge profits come from? If you can't calm the sea atmosphere, why do you have to pay full protection fees?

If you want to monopolize, you will inevitably confront the Red and Massive Yi, and you will also be able to compete with the armed groups that are both business and thieves.

If you don’t defeat others, who can willingly pay for the road; if you can’t make trouble, who will pay you protection fees?

I still don’t believe it. If Zheng Zhilong can be rich enough to rival a country, our Ming Dynasty will have to be as poor as the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, to dominate the East China Sea and the South China Sea, it will take several more years to prepare. Zhu Youxiao tentatively sets it to three years, and no more than five years at most.

Mainly based on the five provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong, we built large-scale sea ships, large-scale sea ships, fierce artillery, and fierce artillery; we train sailors and sailors, and then we defeated our opponents one by one.

During this preparation time, the full lifting of maritime ban, cracking down on smuggling and increasing income have become a relatively important channel for money.

Every year, you don’t need to calculate how many raw silk, silk, porcelain, sugar and other items you need to export from China every year. You can know that the tens of thousands of taxes in Yuegang are similar to confiscation.

Since Yuegang, the only trading port designated by the imperial court, is useless, why should we stick to it and continue to implement the sea ban?

If smuggling cannot be prohibited due to the ineffective naval commander or the collusion between officials and businessmen, then rectify the naval commander, and then start from the source of the goods, gradually control it, and form norms.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao has used his own historical knowledge and the information he obtained from maritime merchants to get rid of the fire, and the probability of success is very high.

For Chinese maritime businessmen, Zhu Youxiao's final policy will be supported to compete with European maritime businessmen and even carry out global trade.

But at this stage, they must be conquered and let them know that they are afraid of national laws, not just "forget life and death for the sake of profit". They even dare to collude with the Red Mavericks just to make money.

Wang Tigan entered the hall lightly. Seeing the emperor turn his eyes, he bowed and said, "It was the female official who came to report to the Queen's Qiansheng imperial edict, saying that she was unwell these days and could not serve the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao was about to summon the imperial doctor, but stopped again. After thinking for a while, he understood the meaning.

The physical discomfort is not because of some illness, but because the Queen Zhang Yan comes to her relatives, who come to her for a few days every month.

It is said that in previous dynasties, if concubines were inconvenient, they would point red spots on their faces, and the internal officials would not include them on the list of bedtime service.

There was no rule to turn the signs in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only three concubines in the palace. They were completely tempted by the emperor and went to sleep wherever they wanted.

Therefore, if this happened, Zhang Yan probably was shy and sent a female official to inform him, so she could not help but lose interest when the emperor went there.

I am such a person. When I go there, I just do that. I can’t do nothing and have a good sleep?

"I understand." Zhu Youxiao was still a little aggrieved and ordered Wang Tigan: "Let the female official tell the queen to rest and pay attention to her diet."
