.As for the other naval admiral, the emperor was not revealed. It seems that it is impossible to be a general of the Zheng family anymore, otherwise the Fujian navy would be divided into no division. However, there is a naval yamen to accommodate the Zheng army's direct troops, and the other one cannot make a fuss even if you want to make trouble. If someone makes trouble, just kick it to Zheng Sen as his subordinates.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly came to the capital, which caused great response among all officials and relatives. When the Hongguang Dynasty was about to begin, countless foreign towns were large and small in the south. The biggest one was of course Zuo Liangyu's Chu Town, followed by the four towns in Jiangbei. But to be honest, Zheng Zhilong's territory and financial resources were far beyond Chu Town, but everyone did not value the navy very much. Moreover, Fujian's geographical location was far away from Nanjing. In addition, Zheng Zhilong paid a lot of money to the capital every year, so everyone felt that Zheng Zhilong was not threatened.

But now Zuo Liangyu is dead, and the four towns in Jiangbei are not alive, and other large and small towns are not as good as the weather. Zheng Zhilong's Fujian is suddenly highlighted. The disaster of the town has always been a matter of vigilance among the scholars and officials. In the past, the four towns in Jiangbei were lying on the side of Nanjing, and the court could not move. Everyone could only pretend to be deaf and dumb about the disaster of the town. Now even the Tartars were defeated by the court, and Fujian naturally became an annoying existence.

Many officials have already proposed to restrict Zheng Zhilong in the memorial, but the emperor has never paid any attention. If the emperor continues to make a hint, the memorial to attack Zheng Zhilong will fly into the palace like snowflakes. Everyone thought that the emperor had not touched Zheng Zhilong's mind for the time being, but Zheng Zhilong came to the capital quietly.

Just as some officials were considering whether to take the opportunity to attack Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong's proposal in the court made all the officials lose their voices, and they all doubted whether they had heard it wrong.

The sea ban was lifted. The city-based boast was established in each port to collect taxes, establish a naval yamen, divide the Fujian Navy into two, and establish the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet respectively. Isn’t this digging the Zheng family’s meat?

Everyone knows that the Zheng family is the biggest beneficiary of the sea ban. The second is the various maritime merchants along the coast of Jiangnan. Although they have to give each ship of hundreds to three thousand taels to the Zheng family, they still have several times to ten times the profit when they go out. Once the sea ban is opened, no one knows how many competitors will join in. What changes will be caused.

However, if it was proposed by other ministers, many people would definitely oppose it, and the reasons were also high-sounding. The reason was to bring out the reasons for the previous sea ban, which was nothing more than to prevent Japanese pirates from causing chaos. Another thing was to be afraid of luring coastal residents to abandon fertile land because of Haili. It became a fugitive and destroyed the court's policy of agriculture. It would never be said that the sea ban was beneficial to the coastal sea merchants. However, the abolition of the sea ban was proposed by Zheng Zhilong, and everyone had to mutter in their hearts. Before they could figure out what deal Zheng Zhilong had with the emperor, no one dared to oppose it rashly.

Before the ministers could react from the shock, Xiong Rulin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, suddenly spoke and proposed that the Ministry of Revenue set up a bank and issue gold and silver coins as a supplement to copper coins.

Although it is a big deal to open a maritime ban and establish a naval yamen, compared with the Ministry of Revenue’s proposal to open a bank and issue gold and silver currencies, the previous big deal has also become a small deal.

"Mr. Xiong, what are the regulations of the Ministry of Revenue to open a bank and issue gold and silver currency? I would like to hear it in detail?" After being shocked, Ma Shiying asked the first question.

"Returning to the words of the Lord of the Shoujiao, the so-called banking company can not only replace the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Technology to mint money, but also undertake the issuance of currency, absorption of deposits, and lending out deposits. As the land is expanded in the future, the banking business will be more."

"Mr. Xiong, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money. So how can we set up a bank? Isn't this a fight for profit with the people? Is it against me?" A censor jumped out.

"I also object to it." There were dozens of people among the court officials who opposed it in unison. It was completely contrary to the silence just now. Although many people still do not understand the functions of banks, they have already keenly realized that once the Ministry of Revenue is allowed to open a bank, it will greatly harm the interests of aristocratic families in various places.

Competing for profit with the people is a weapon for all officials to deal with the emperor's land. In the battle for profit with the people, the Shang Dynasty in Chongzhen Dynasty changed from thirty taxes to sixty taxes. In the end, it was simply abolished. The court had no commercial tax at all. And the rear of these big merchants came from gentry and strong. On the contrary, the taxes were added to small civilians.

Xiong Rulin swept over dozens of people in unison to oppose the censor. Most of these people were small roles such as Yuanwailang, Censor and other censors. No one in the cabinet, ministers and ministers of various departments moved. The first censor to jump out was Lu Lang, the Censor, who was known as the Qingliu.

"Silent. Silent." Several eunuchs sounded sharply. The officials stopped talking. Xiong Rulin ignored the opposing officials at all. He clapped his hands and shouted outside: "Come on."

Shortly after Xiong Rulin's words fell, four big men each carried a basket of heavy gold and silver coins up, white and yellow. Everyone stretched their necks to look into the basket. They thought Xiong Rulin was just talking now, but they didn't expect that the gold and silver coins had been cast.

"Come on, I'll give each adult one." Wang Fu said with a smile on his face.

Dozens of palace maids came out from behind, and soon, the stunned ministers all handed over two coins, one was a gold coin and the other was a silver coin. They held the gold and silver coin in their hands. Everyone had to admit that compared to simple gold ingots and silver ingots, this gold and silver coin was undoubtedly much more exquisite.

"Everyone, this is the gold and silver coins that are about to occur in the imperial court. Each silver coins weighs one or two liang, not one cent or more, and the gold coins weigh six cents and six millimeters, which is not different. A gold coins can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and a silver coin is equivalent to one or two official silver coins. I must understand that as long as it is formed, there is no need to re-cast, which reduces fire consumption and saves time. People, merchants, and governments all get it three ways."

The people, merchants, and government officials did get the best of their own, but they only lacked the interests of officials. Although fire consumption is the business of local officials, the Beijing officials also benefited a lot from it. Without the filial piety of local officials, Beijing officials could only drink the northwest wind with the little salary alone.

"Emperor, opening a bank in the Ministry of Revenue is still the source of chaos. I ask the emperor to issue an edict to punish Xiong Rulin immediately." Lu Lang threw the two silver coins in his hand to the ground, knelt in the hall, and kowtowed to the emperor heavily.

"Oh, Lu Aiqing will get up for the time being. The affairs of the Ministry of Revenue Bank are not urgent. Today, we will discuss the matter of Zheng Aiqing's proposal to lift the maritime ban and establish a naval yamen. I wonder what your ministers think about this?"

Until now, everyone knows that if the Ministry of Revenue Bank is really opened, their usual Bingjing, Tanjing and others will have to be reduced by at least half. Although there will be losses in opening the sea, the Zheng family is the biggest loss. Even if the Zheng family proposes it, it will be no wonder that everyone will take the blame.

"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible to open the sea."

"Your Majesty, I also think that opening the sea is imperative."

Hearing the statements of various officials in the court, Wang Fu nodded: "Since all my dear friends have this intention, I have planned to plan to abolish the ban on the sea from now on. The municipal borough officials will be established by the Ministry of Personnel. The Fujian Navy will be divided into two to establish the East China Sea and the South China Sea two fleets. The admiral of the East China Sea Fleet will be Zheng Sen, and the admiral of the South China Sea will be Gu San."

"Emperor, the imperial edict has been prepared." After taking the order from an eunuch, Wang Fu looked at it immediately, took out the jade seal and covered it, and then signaled the eunuch to hand it over to Ma Shiying: "Ma Aiqing, this decree will be signed by the cabinet and will be immediately distributed to the world."

Ma Shiying respectfully took it: "I obey the order."

The matter of opening the sea was decided, and everyone looked at the emperor with a gaze. If the emperor had to decide to pass the matter of the Ministry of Revenue Bank, then he would have to fight against the situation even if he was not safe. Some fierce people even thought of admonishing him.

"Everyone, the matter of the Ministry of Revenue Bank is of great importance and can be decided without hasty. You can take a closer look after you go back and write a memorial to submit it. I will carefully consider the opinions of all the ministers. As for the gold and silver coins you have in your hands, you can also take them back, even if I reward them for them

Lu Lang lay on the ground and never got up. He was stunned when he heard the emperor's words. He just held back his strength and wanted to knock Xiong Rulin down. Even if he didn't succeed, he could become famous all over the world. Unexpectedly, the emperor's light words should not be decided by hasty. The power he had accumulated was like hitting in the empty space, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Other officials also felt the same, but they felt relieved. What they feared most was that the emperor would force the implementation. At this time, everyone knew that the emperor must be secretly promoting the implementation of the bank of the Ministry of Revenue, otherwise Xiong Rulin would not have even cast gold and silver coins.

If the emperor wanted to force it, the ministers could not find any good way except for the death remarks. Now that the emperor allowed everyone to discuss it after going back, he would undoubtedly be much calmer. As long as local officials mobilize them to object together, the emperor would not be able to just go alone.

Although this gold coin and a silver coin are exquisite, it feels hot when held in your hands. However, the emperor's rewards are unwilling to thank the officials. Everyone knelt down again: "I am going to thank the emperor."

"Dear friends and dear friends, what else can I do to report?"

Everyone stood up, and Lu Lang also took the opportunity to get rid of the embarrassment, stood up from the ground and retreated to the back-submission team. At this time, the hall was quiet, and everyone was concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and Bank, and they were no longer interested in other things. Wang Fu waited for a while and saw no one talking, and nodded to the eunuch standing below.

The servant rang out the sound of retreating to the court and shouted: "Go out."

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

All the officials knelt down and thanked each other and left the hall. Xiong Rulin walked at the end. As soon as he left the hall, he saw several officials standing still, as if they were waiting for him on purpose.

"Bah, you are also from a scholar, but you only know how to flatter the king, and do not care about the interests of officials and gentry, and traitors!"
