Zhu Taner stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, afraid that he would faint from anger.
Not only did his son-in-law wantonly attack his business tax system.
And now, he's even setting up a maritime trading…company?
Old Zhu didn't know what a company was, but he could understand maritime trade!
Wasn't Su Yang's intention to openly go out to sea for trade?
This was going against Zhu Yuanzhang's national policy of banning the sea!
Most importantly, not only was he going against him, but he was also going to pull his father-in-law along!
Zhu Taner saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was on the verge of anger and immediately stepped forward to smooth things over."Uncle Chen, don't listen to Su Yang's nonsense. What maritime trading company?”
"His Majesty has banned the sea, so there's definitely no room for discussion! Su Yang was just thinking about it. He would not really do it!”
Su Yang was baffled by Zhu Tan 'er's words.
He pushed the bowl in front of him to the side and smacked his lips."Tan 'er, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't we agree on the sea trade? There was gold everywhere overseas. It would be too late if he did not pick it up now!
"If we set off any later, it would be too good for those western barbarians!”
Zhu Tan 'er saw that Su Yang was getting more and more out of tune, and her heart was pounding anxiously. Zhu Yuanzhang's beard also began to tremble.
His heart was pounding?
Zhu Tan 'er suddenly realized that she had a trump card!
Instantly, Zhu Tan 'er's expression changed. She clutched her chest and began to breathe heavily.
This gave Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Yang a fright!
The two of them stood up and surrounded him.
"Tan 'er, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
"Tan 'er, don't be nervous. Relax, relax your breathing!”
As Su Yang spoke, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing in front of Zhu Taner and pushed him away.
"Aiyo, Uncle Chen, don't stand here and help!”
"When Tan Er's illness acts up, she needs air circulation. With your big board here, the air is blocked!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss and quickly took a step away.
Zhu Tan 'er was pretending, but when she heard Su Yang's words, she really felt her heart ache.
Su Yang was the first person to say that his father-in-law was in the way and asked him to stand aside!
How was this recruiting a live-in son-in-law? This was recruiting a master!
" Tan 'er is fine. Uncle Chen, don't worry, husband…" Zhu Tan' er said hurriedly.
Su Yang was still a little worried. He helped Zhu Tan 'er lie down on the recliner and gently fanned her with a small fan.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions, which were already on the verge of anger, were instantly pulled back.
"Forget it. Su Yang is a good child. Although his thoughts are a little extreme, we can't be calculative with him.”
"The matter of banning the sea is of great importance. It's understandable that Su Yang doesn't understand!”
Old Zhu was already helping Su Yang in his heart.
At the same time, he was also trying to find a way out for Su Yang.
"Su Yang, you're still young. You don't know what's important. It's best if you don't touch things like the maritime trading company.”
"You and I are both merchants, so you should understand Emperor Hongwu's attitude towards merchants.”
"Since the Imperial Court has banned the sea, why are you still engaging in trade? Aren't you going against the Imperial Court?”
"If the matter is exposed, you will definitely lose your head! Tan 'er's body is weak, so she still needs you."
"So, Su Yang, you should be more down-to-earth. Don't let your imagination run wild.”
Su Yang fanned Zhu Taner. Seeing that Zhu Taner's expression had improved, he was relieved.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he immediately wanted to refute.
"Uncle Chen, you're thinking too far ahead. Besides, how can the matter of trading at sea be exposed?”
"Emperor Hongwu is sitting in the throne room and is being blinded. How would he know the situation along the coast?”
"It's not uncommon for officials and fishermen to cooperate in smuggling, so what's there to expose my maritime trading company?”
"When the time comes, I'll give some official shares. These people will not only investigate and report me, but they will also desperately cover for me.”
"So, Old Master, there's no need for you to worry!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's entire body trembled. Not only did Su Yang not step down the stairs, but he also kicked Zhu Yuanzhang's stool!
It's not that I'm a sucker and want to subjugate the country!
That is to say, I was sitting in the throne room and was blinded!？
Was the Emperor so easy to fool in the eyes of this cheap son-in-law?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger suddenly dissipated. The stubbornness in his bones was provoked by Su Yang.
He wanted to see what was going on with Su Yang's maritime trading company!
He had learned that once Su Yang established a company, he would send the Jinyiwei to clean up the mess!
……
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and sat back in his chair.
"I'm suddenly very interested in this maritime trading company. Su Yang, why don't you tell me more about it?"”
"If it really works, we'll follow you!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately perked up. No matter how Zhu Taner tugged at his sleeve from behind, he did not take it seriously.
"Tan 'er, don't mess around. I'm discussing important matters with Uncle Chen.”
To discuss important matters? Zhu Tan 'er felt a little dizzy.
She was just short of telling Su Yang that the more he discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang, the harder it would be for him to start his company!
However, looking at the current situation, she could not stop him even if she wanted to.
He simply let go of his hand and lay on the recliner with his eyes closed. Out of sight, out of mind!
"Old Master, let me tell you what this maritime trading company is for!”
"First of all, we will buy a few large ships along the coast. They must be able to sail far away. If there are none, we will build them ourselves!”
"Of course, it takes time and skill to build a ship. It's usually calculated on the basis of a few years. We can't afford to wait, so I'm more inclined to buy a ship and modify it directly!”
"With a ship, it's easy. It's even easier to get through to the Imperial Court. We can use money to open a path.”
"The salary of Great Ming's officials is too low, they simply cannot refuse this money!”
"When we recruit enough sailors, we can go out to sea!”
"The most suitable location is Taicang's Liujiagang. There are very exquisite ship building techniques and a large number of experienced fishermen here.”
"The first step is to go to Jilong Island. This island is a separate island, and the resources on the island are limited.”
Actually, whether or not he went to Taiwan did not mean much to Luzon. Su Yang wanted to go because he felt that this island should belong to Ming!
The Yuan people only set up an inspection department in Penghu Islands and did not manage Taiwan Island deeply.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic center was in the north, so he still used the Yuan Dynasty's Patrol Department system, which was basically a free-range model for Taiwan Island.
The Japanese disturbed the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty and occasionally went to Taiwan Island to resupply and harass the local islanders.
