Want to Restore the National economy? Then support commercial development and lift the ban on the sea!
The country had been in a war for a long time, and many places had become ruins.
After years of war, the economy that was already on the verge of collapse completely collapsed.
The country was short of resources.
Even if the war in the south was basically over.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the country's economy still did not improve.
Left with no choice, Zhu Yuanzhang could only imitate Liu Bang and decided to recuperate with the people.
The palace's expenses were also reduced as much as possible.
In terms of military training, on the basis of the original Wei system, the system of opening up wasteland was introduced to avoid the additional expenditure of the national finance on military training, and the army was self-sufficient.
Even so.
It would take a very long time to restore the national economy.
In order to speed up the economic recovery, Zhu Yuanzhang forbade the people to be extravagant and wasteful.
This included the fact that clothing could not be luxurious, high-grade cloth could not be used, and the people's diet was also prohibited. Top-grade ingredients were not allowed to be eaten, and so on.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the economy of the Ming Dynasty recovered slightly.
To put it simply, tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty had to tighten their clothes and go on a diet. It took more than 60 years for the Ming Dynasty's economy to recover slightly.
One could imagine how serious the economic damage caused by the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was. Of course, part of the reason was that the economy at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked earnestly,"
"Minister Ye, do you have a good plan to make Great Ming more prosperous?”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Tidas eagerly.
Tidas only felt that this gaze was too blazing.
It was somewhat unbearable.
He wanted him to talk about good strategies for governing the country?
If Zhu Biao had asked him, he would have bragged.
As awesome as he could be.
After all, Zhu Biao was kind-hearted. Even if you were just bragging, Zhu Biao wouldn't blame you.
Even if Zhu Biao did not carry out his method smoothly, Zhu Biao would only think that his method was wrong, so it did not succeed. He would not suspect that Tidas's method was wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang was different.
If he dared to brag, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely chop off his head. If the method was useless, even if Zhu Yuanzhang himself made a mistake, Zhu Yuanzhang would blame the crime on him.
This strategy.
It wasn't easy.
Tidas had a headache.
Zhu Yuanzhang's lousy personality.
Who dared to give him advice?
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Tidas's hesitation and pretended to be generous."Minister Ye, please say it. No matter what strategy you propose, I will accept it humbly and will not blame you.”
Tidas was speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already said this.
If he didn't say anything, it would seem like he didn't give Zhu Yuanzhang face.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang would show him a change of expression on the spot.
Tidas was only a fifth-grade official now.
He could only comply.
Since I can't resist, I can only enjoy
Bah! Bah!
What enjoyment?
He was now a loyal minister of Great Ming. Everything he did now was for the people, for Great Ming.
Who asked me to be a good official?
Tidas brainwashed himself.
Then, he thought about how he should tell Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, this was Liangce.
However, he had offended Zhu Yuanzhang.
He typed a script in his stomach and then said,
"Emperor, this subject does have a plan."
"I want to develop my business."
"Then there must be some gains and losses.”
"Can you bear it?"
"Some gains and losses?"
"I understand."
"Everything has its pros and cons."
"If the gains and losses are within our tolerance range, there won't be a problem.”
"Mr. Ye, just say it."
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had yet to realize that Tidas was about to throw down a heavy landmine.
Tidas looked at the indifferent Zhu Yuanzhang and thought to himself,
I don't know if you can sit still later.
He had dropped a heavy landmine.
"Remove the ban on the sea."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
In the next moment.
He slammed the table and stood up.
His expression was gloomy.
"Do you know that this ban was issued four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China?”
There was no anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
However, his expression was unusually gloomy.
He issued a ban on the sea.
Fishermen were forbidden to go out to sea without permission to trade with foreign countries.
Restricting foreign merchants from trading in China.
It also prevented the Ming people from migrating to Southeast Asia and causing the loss of population.
However, Tidas asked him to lift the sea ban?
Moreover, he was born in a poor family and had hated merchants since he was young. He thought that they were rich and heartless and were not conducive to governing.
Therefore, after becoming the emperor, he greatly belittled the status of merchants.
The children of merchants could not even take the imperial examination.
However, Tidas asked him to lift the sea ban?
"I hate those merchants the most. Those merchants are rich and heartless, oppressing the people and colluding with officials. If the ban on the sea is lifted, those merchants will definitely cooperate with foreign merchants. It's for the benefit of our Ming Dynasty."
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he shut his mouth.
He issued a ban on the sea.
Part of the reason was that he wanted to monopolize the profits of the sea trade.
It was like monopolizing mines, brewing wine, and salt.
In addition, the Japanese pirates in the early Ming Dynasty also became a problem.
The ban on the sea could also prevent pirates from harassing coastal residents.
His ban on the sea was not unreasonable. The residents along the coast could go fishing in small boats, and the officers and soldiers would not stop them.
Privately buying and selling foreign goods.
Secretly collude with pirates and plunder good people.
Privately building ships with two masts and above, carrying prohibited items, etc.
This was illegal.
"In short, it's impossible to lift the ban on the sea!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was unusually unyielding.
The monopoly of sea trade brought a lot of profits to Da Ming and many benefits.
He could not give up so easily.
Tidas:
Today, there was no way to chat.
"Since that's the case, then the emperor will treat it as if this minister never mentioned this method."
Tidas knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree so easily.
He did not force her.
However, Tidas did not expect Zhu Biao, who had been silent all this time, to speak.
"Imperial Father, Mister hasn't said why he lifted the ban on the sea. Why don't we listen to Mister's opinion? Moreover, Mister also said that this method has its pros and cons.”
Zhu Biao persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to listen again.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally wanted Tidas to get lost, thought about it and felt that it was true.
There was no harm in listening.
Let's see what else this kid can say.
"Minister Ye, tell us the benefits of lifting the ban on the sea. If the benefits you say are better than the ban on the sea, it's not like we can't consider it.”
in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived.
If this method of reducing national spending was used, it would take decades to recover.
The time required was too long.
If the method Tidas mentioned could really make the country's economy recover quickly, he might consider it.
Tidas:
Got it.
He even wanted to leave.
Who would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him and let him continue.
He had no choice.
He could only continue to be an honest worker and continue to explain to Old Zhu and his son why the sea ban was lifted.
