" In fact, I also think that the advantages of opening the sea outweigh the disadvantages, but some details still need to be studied." Liu Bowen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
" Indeed." Lee Shan Chang nodded.
Opening the sea was not a simple matter.
This required the cooperation of all parties and even a new department to manage it.
Even the distribution of some of the benefits needed to be considered.
Moreover, the sea was rough. What if the caravan encountered a storm on the sea?
How to deal with caravans that were robbed on the sea?
One had to know that Da Ming didn't have a navy.
Only the navy that sailed on the inland river.
The two could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"Minister Li, shouldn't you persuade His Majesty? His Majesty has been a little anxious recently.
I'm afraid that if Your Majesty blindly follows the example of the King of Chen, it will backfire."
Lee Shan Chang frowned.
The situation that Liu Bowen mentioned was indeed possible.
However, His Majesty should have some considerations.
"Don't worry about this. Let's properly check and fill in the gaps for His Majesty.
Moreover, isn't there already a sample in the video? It's all Big Ming. We just have to follow it.
Why worry?"
Liu Bowen looked at the video.
He always felt that this item was not something good.
There was a deep contradiction between the common people and the gentry.
As time was still short, it was not obvious in various places.
After a while, the people would probably completely oppose the gentry.
This was detrimental to Great Ming's rule.
The gentry were the foundation of the country.
" Let's do as Minister Li said. I don't have any good ideas at the moment." Liu Bowen sighed secretly.
" Right, Bowen." Lee Shan Chang took a sip of tea with satisfaction.
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the silver on the video.
For a moment, he was actually a little excited.
In fact, he himself did not value money, but Da Ming was short of copper now.
If he could obtain a large amount of silver, could he use silver as a currency?
In this way, it increased the wealth of the Great Ming Transportation Warehouse.
Originally, he had thought of issuing paper money like the Song Dynasty.
With more money in the national treasury, Zhu Yuanzhang could do more things.
However, after watching the video for a few days.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a new understanding.
In the video, King Daming of Chen had a department in charge of tax collection.
In comparison, the No. 1 Great Ming that he was in had a very chaotic tax system.
The taxes and grain of the army were under the jurisdiction of the five armies, while the taxes and grain of the people were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue and other departments.
There was no unified tax department.
Should he set up a department to collect taxes?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and decided to forget about it for the time being.
After all, there were no mistakes in the way Ming operated, so there was no need to learn everything from King Chen Ming.
There was no comparison between the two.
" Sigh, if only I could be as powerful as the Ming in the video. I wouldn't have to be so depressed." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
At this moment, in the video,
It was the same situation as Zhu Zaiyan.
Zhu Longqing was ranked 29th among the princes.
In front of him were nearly 30 princes.
However, Zhu Longqing's father had reigned for a full sixty years.
All the princes and brothers either died early or died of illness.
In the end, the position of Emperor fell on Zhu Longqing, who was only sixteen years old.
When he first ascended the throne, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful.
Zhu Longqing believed that he was suitable to be a ruler who defended his achievements.
He only wanted to guard this family business and pass it on to his son.
In this way, he could be considered to have let down his father and Glory Sect.
However, the heavens did not grant his wish.
In the 3rd year of Guanghe, Bei Mei's largest Fan King, King Jing, Zhu Longrui declared independence.
Zhu Longrui was Zhu Longqing's brother.
According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, all the adult princes chose their own futures.
Zhu Longrui chose to become a Fan King.
At this moment, a Fan King of Bei Mei died of illness and Zhu Longrui succeeded him.
That's right, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty could not be inherited.
On one hand, this prevented the vassal kings from having too much power. Staying in one place for a long time was not conducive to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, not everyone wanted to be a vassal king.
Most of the people wanted to stay in Da Ming compared to the poor overseas.
Zhu Longrui was a beast and he preferred the freedom of a lord's territory.
In just three years, he had befriended most of the North American vassals.
Moreover, this person had a special charisma that made the North American lords think that Zhu Longrui had the potential to be emperor.
In addition, because of the natural disaster, Zhu Longqing collected three years of taxes from the vassal king's territory in one go.
This caused the king to be dissatisfied.
Thus, the Fan Kings started to bewitch Zhu Longrui.
Every day, he told Zhu Longrui that he had the looks of an emperor and that Zhu Longqing didn't deserve to be emperor.
Zhu Longrui wasn't stupid. At first, he didn't believe him and even stayed away from him.
However, as the strange phenomena on the various ancient books appeared.
Zhu Longrui believed it!
Thus, he began to prepare to become the emperor.
However, what they didn't know was that the Great Ming's Department of Supervision had already placed their actions on Zhu Longqing's desk.
"King Jing intends to be independent?" Zhu Longqing read the secret report.
He did not believe that his younger brother, who had followed him since he was young, would rebel.
Unfortunately, more and more evidence made Zhu Longqing not so firm.
Until the night before King Jing rebelled.
The Inspection Division recorded every word and action of Zhu Longrui and the Fan Kings.
Zhu Longqing believed it!
Thus, in order to avoid a bigger disaster.
He decisively ordered the arrest of King Jing and his gang.
The arrest operation went smoothly. King Jing and his men were all captured and brought back to Da Ming.
At this moment, in the bullet screen…
"Just this? Just this? This is it!"
"I thought it was a huge rebellion of the vassal kings, and they even used the words 'Ping'."
"How interesting. His Highness King Jing was drinking and chatting with many vassal kings when a group of men in black barged in and captured him!”
"It's a bit of a tiger's head but a snake's tail. King Jing is too noob.”
"Tsk tsk…King Jing, this won't do either!"
The comments were filled with mockery towards King Jing.
The video continued.
King Jing and his men flew back to the capital overnight.
Zhu Longqing summoned King Jing overnight.
As for the other vassal kings, they were directly locked up in the Imperial Clan Court's prison.
Zhu Longqing looked at his younger brother in front of him.
"Zhu Longrui, you're so capable. You want to be independent? Do you know what kind of opening you've made?
Do you know how I should punish you according to the laws of Ming Dynasty?!!”
