A vigorous business revolution began in the imperial court.
Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne and listened to the court officials arguing.
Although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were the first and second assistants of the cabinet, it was not that no one dared to offend them in the court.
Some of the more experienced and prudent ministers strongly opposed the lifting of the ban on commerce. In their view, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce were rules passed down for thousands of years. How could they change them?
They believed that agriculture was the foundation of a country and that business could not be allowed to be above agriculture. If everyone became merchants, who would farm? If no one farmed, where would the food for millions of people come from?
The Reformist Party and the Conservatives had a huge argument in the imperial court. They were just short of fighting each other.
Zhu Yijun looked at the two groups of people in the court, full of gunpowder, and sighed in his heart.
I knew that this would happen. It seems that I have to make the decision.
Zhu Yijun cleared his throat, and the eunuch beside him immediately shouted,"You guys are shouting and shouting in the Imperial Court. What a disgrace!”
The eunuch pierced through the court with his sharp sword, and all the officials shut their mouths.
"I've made up my mind. The business reform will be handled according to the cabinet's plan. No one is allowed to obstruct it!”
Zhu Yijun's voice was like the sound of metal and stone. The conservative ministers shut their mouths. Now that the Emperor had spoken, all they could do was obey.
……
After Zhu Yijun passed on his message, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Revenue started to get busy.
The most important thing was to change the taxes. Since he wanted to improve the business, then the business taxes and laws had to be improved.
In the imperial court, the system's notification sounded.
Ding dong, the Ming Navy's ships and cannons! The Great Ming Navy has regained its glory! New cannon design obtained-Cannon.
Compared to traditional cannons, cannons had a more compact barrel, and their range was twice that of Franki cannons, making them more powerful.
In the royal court, the officials no longer submitted any more letters. Since the Emperor had already decided on commercial reform, they could only brace themselves and continue. It was not too late to turn back when they encountered a wall.
The Ming Empire's commercial reform had already begun. Zhu Yijun was quietly waiting for the silver to arrive, waiting for the Ming Empire's navy to regain its glory!
At present, the European countries had already dominated the world with their strong ships and cannons, and Zhu Yijun also wanted to step in.
However, without a powerful navy, the Ming Empire could only be bound outside the ocean.
……
After Zhu Yijun left the court, he spread out the Xuan paper in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He held a pen and paper in his hand and began to sketch out the cannon design.
Of course, Zhu Yijun's design drawings were not standard, but this did not affect the design data of the cannon.
As long as the data was correct and the drawing was not rigorous enough, there would be craftsmen to correct it.
"Pass on my order, this secret edict is to be handed over to Tang Gu Qi Jiguang.”
Zhu Yijun put the cannon design in the secret edict and sent it to Tanggu by the Jinyiwei.
……
Qi Jiguang was training the navy in Tanggu. Most of the cannons on the big ships were still more than a hundred years old. He wanted to dismantle these cannons and replace them with more advanced cannons.
For naval battles, it was artillery battles. Whoever had the strongest artillery attack power and the longer range of the artillery would be able to win the naval battle.
Recently, the Ming Navy had already taken shape. The number of sailors had already exceeded 30,000, and among them, there were 25,000 excellent cannoneers.
During this time, Qi Jiguang had been secretly investigating the situation in the Wei Nation.
The Wei Nation was growing stronger and stronger, and the three powerful daimyo had already taken control of the Wei Nation's economy and military.
Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu…
These three Wei Nation's big names were getting stronger and stronger, and had already attracted Qi Jiguang's attention, especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His Majesty had once said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be his rival!
"Humph! The Wei Nation people are not good at firearms, they only know how to wield a samurai sword. In my eyes, they are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered!”
Qi Jiguang was pondering when to send troops to the Wei Nation to train the navy when the Jinyiwei came to Tanggu with an imperial edict.
Qi Jiguang knelt down to receive the imperial edict.
When Qi Jiguang unfolded the imperial edict, the cannon design appeared in front of him.
Shocking!
His eyes instantly widened. Although the cannon design was a little crooked, Qi Jiguang saw something unusual from the various data!
Did it have twice the range of the Franc machine?
The range of the Fraang Machine Cannon was two nautical miles.
The cannon had a range of 4 nautical miles.
Of course, this wasn't the most shocking part of Qi Jiguang. What shocked him the most was the cannon's gear design.
The most inconvenient thing about the Franzian Cannon was that it was difficult to adjust the muzzle.
However, this cannon solved the problem of adjusting the direction of the cannon!
"Your Majesty actually has such a capable subject in his hands! Tell me, which expert designed this design?”
Qi Jiguang asked.
The Jinyiwei frowned slightly and said,"Isn't this drawn by His Majesty himself? Will there be anyone else interfering?"
"Ah! This cannon was designed by His Majesty…"
Qi Jiguang was flabbergasted.
Was this little emperor a god descending to the mortal world?
He was actually omnipotent!
