Chapter 357: The battle with the Golden Palace!

Seeing this result, Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan and others were all angry, but Li Mo was very happy and smiled and said to the back of the shiban: "Your Majesty, Wang Gao won."

Emperor Jiajing behind the gauze curtain held the jade pestle in his hand with an unexpected expression, and it took a long time to knock it.

Yan Song sat there with his eyes closed, motionless and silent, as if he had not heard this sound.

Li Mo did not let him pretend to be confused and reminded him: "Gei Master Yan, it's time to move on to the next issue."

"Hmm?" Yan Song slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Mo in a daze and said, "Mr. Li will be the host. I am so hot that I can't breathe." As he said, he was like pulling a bellows, and he breathed heavily for a few times, and he really had heatstroke.

Yan Shifan was anxious and pretended to look at his father, possessed himself and whispered: "What is this for?"

Yan Song waved his hand and asked him to stand aside, muttering, "Hot." Yan Shifan had no choice but to retreat.

What does this mean? A glimmer flashed in Li Mo's eyes and he thought to himself: 'The old guy finally gave up! Did I finally win?' He suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "The second thing is the Southeast. It seems that if you don't make up the Southeast matters clear today, you will never give up."

The masters sweated heavily and urged, "Mr. Li, talk quickly."

Li Mo was unhappy and said to himself: 'When I become the chief minister, who dares to urge me again!' Of course, he could only nod and said: "Okay, this matter has been fought for a longer time. It is 18 officials including Shaoxing Prefect Tang Shunzhi, please reopen the memorial of the Three Maritime Bureau. This memorial has been forwarded for a long time, and everyone should understand the content." He said in a deep voice: "I will express my opinion first, 'No incense board is allowed to go into the sea' is the ancestral system, and it must not be violated. Moreover, 'The disaster of the Japanese/pirates originated from the People' has been determined! Therefore, the Three Maritime Bureau must not reopen, and 18 officials including Tang Shunzhi should also be punished!" Following the appearance of Ge Lao Yan, Li Mo wanted to make a decision to make a decision for the dynasty.

But he was not Lao Yan after all. Yan Shifan immediately stood up and questioned: "Mr. Li, I am in charge of the Ministry of Works. If you don't say anything else, just ask you, can the dozens of river embankments that were damaged last year be repaired? Can the walls of Beijing be repaired? If Altan came to Beijing for a walk like last year, it would be not Tongzhou, Changping will suffer! You are not afraid of the people of Sijiu City tearing you up, I am afraid!"

"That's it!" Zhao Wenhua also said to the heart: "The three halls in Xiyuan have been damaged. The Lord of Longevity is still in the Shengshou Palace. You, a minister, are asleep, and I can't sleep or eat!"

Emperor Jiajing in the veil nodded slightly, with a look of relief on his face. He heard Wang Jun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, retorted: "Of course we are very guilty, but we cannot quench the near thirst. The Weaving Bureau and the Maritime Bureau have been abandoned for several years. If we want to re-activate it, it is probably not possible to have 500,000 taels of silver. Where does this fund come from?" He was a governor of Zhejiang and naturally had a say in this matter: "And it takes at least half a year from input to output. In other words, we will not see any profit in this half year and we have to pay for it!"

Li Mo took the conversation and sneered: "In the past half a year, our autumn tax will be collected! With these 400,000 taels of silver, it is enough to spend it tightly enough to survive the difficulties!"

Emperor Jiajing's frown slightly loosened his brows, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Both sides in the hall were verbal and unwilling to give in, but Yan Party and his group only relied on their loud voices and could yell, and they had a draw with Li Mo and others. It was just that people would like to oppose it for the sake of opposition... Because even if there were tens of millions of reasons, they could not overcome the four words "forbidden sea ancestor system".

‘Once my ancestors are as great as the heavens…’ Emperor Jiajing sighed inwardly, lowered his eyelids, and leaned on the soft backrest.

Finally, there was a person who was about to have heat stroke and couldn't hold on and said, "I'm talking about it, my nephew is still lanterns, as usual."

"As usual as usual!" Li Shangshu, with a face full of oily sweat, was full of pride. He believed that those neutral ministers would understand where the reason was and stand on their side.

Yan Shifan didn't want to agree, but couldn't come up with a good way. He was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "If you do what you do, we won't take responsibility if there is any problem!" Obviously, he also felt that his defeat was decided.

"There will be a problem if the sea ban is really opened!" Li Mo sneered: "Let's start!"

Chen Mo and Zhang Siwei held the mung beans and red beans and sent them to all the adults, and then held the long pottery jar and prepared to collect the beans.

‘Clang…’ Unexpectedly, at this moment, the chime sounded, and everyone had to stop and look at the curtain. Time froze for a long time, the curtain was lifted, and Xu Wei appeared, looking at the great masters and said, “Your Majesty has an order to order the cabinet Shizhilang to reply silently.”

"I listen to the instructions." Chen Si quickly put down the pottery jar and saluted.

"Silence, which side do you agree with?" Xu Wei asked expressionlessly.

"There is no objection to me." After a pause, Chen Si bowed down and said, "The views of both parties make sense..." Since he wrote the palace examination article, he knew that he could not escape this. He had been preparing for a long time. Xu Wei lowered his eyelids to him in a slight way. Chen Si knew how he should answer.

The great masters said in his heart: 'This kid is here to play tricks...' Unexpectedly, silent said again: "But I think this is like the melon on the vine ripe, so I can pick it off. There is no need to argue or pick it. I just need to push a bunch of sounds to break the silence. Emperor Jiajing recited a poem and said: "It's hard, it's hard! The most mysterious way, don't use the golden elixir as a leisurely way, don't meet the wonderful tips of the most powerful people, and you can't just talk about the tongue and fuck it..."

The gauze curtain was windless, and Emperor Jiajing, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, appeared flutteringly. Everyone knelt down.

After reading a poem, the emperor had already walked to the dragon throne, without sitting down, but just standing there.

Seeing that the emperor stood still, Yan Song took the lead and shouted: "I wish the emperor--" I was not breathing now...

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Everyone kowtowed.

Jiajing had a smile on his face, glanced at Chen Si and Li Mo and said, "All up, Li Mo and Li Shiyan, silent and clumsy words, then finish the fight, let me hear what the reason is."

Li Mo was in a daze, and silently said first: "My Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and started the dynasty. His knowledge and profound thoughts were not dared to question and there was no need to doubt it."

"You are two-faced and three-sword!" Li Mo said angrily.

"Listen to the officials to finish their words." Silent said slowly: "It is precisely because we have to abide by the ancestral teachings that we must analyze one by one in combination with the background of the ancestral teachings, and fully understand the meaning of the ancestral teachings, so that we can truly abide by the ancestral teachings," he said: "If we only grasp the first ancestral teachings and ignore the other five, it will be like a blind man touching an elephant and having only one limb, but think that the whole body will be generalized and one-sided distortion?"

"Then just say it!" Li Mo sneered: "Let's see how you perverted it!"

"I'll explain to you." He said silently and unyielding: "First talk about the first sage, which prohibits going to sea without permission... At that time, the world was decided, and Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen and other remnants retreated to coastal islands, but the thieves were unsuccessful. On the one hand, they attracted some people to cultivate their followers in the country, and on the other hand, they colluded with pirates to make a comeback. Therefore, Taizu ordered a ban on the sea to separate the thief's connection with the mainland and make them self-defeating. It's wonderful."

"The second and third ways are to prohibit 'sea resident from engaging in overseas countries' and urging in the sea to catch fish'. During this period, the Hu Weiyong case was inflicted. One of his charges was to engage in Japanese/pirates. This imperial edict was issued specifically in view of the domestic emergency."

"All nonsense!" Li Mo's hardcore Wang Jun finally found the opportunity to interrupt and supported Li Mo and said, "How dare you say it is not a permanent law?" If you don't believe it, listen to a passage of "Taizu's Versatile Records". Emperor Taizu Gao said, "I use the sea channel to connect to the foreign countries... If you can't help but be wary of the sea, you will be trapped in the imperial court. Therefore, you have banned your contacts." As he said, he sneered, "Isn't this the attitude of Taizu's ban on the sea?"

Chen Si showed an incredible expression and said, "Dare you ask Lord Wang, what does the word 'temptation' mean?"

"That's it..." Wang Jun was stunned for a moment.

"A three-year-old child knows that it is what he once said!" Silently said: "The true meaning of Taizu's Hadith is 'He realized that he could also communicate with foreign countries through sea routes. If the people were not prohibited from trade privately through sea routes, they would probably not think about working and doing business in pure business! Taizu once ordered that people who "do not work but specialize in business" could be arrested directly. There were too many people who violated the law, so they had banned contacts."

His eyes swept over the adults and said in silence: "Why is it said that it was once? Just look at the next order. In the twenty-three years, the Ministry of Revenue issued a strict ban on foreign exchanges. The emperor said that Chinese gold, silver, copper coins, gunpowder, weapons and other items were not allowed to be released. It is obviously 'strict' rather than 'ban', but only prohibiting the supply of materials related to national security. The implication is that tea, silk, porcelain, etc. can still be sold abroad."

Wang Jun was speechless, and could only listen to Chen Si's pursuit of victory: "The dark and weak court in the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason why the Mongol Yuan, Jin and Liao Dynasty was able to confront the Mongol Yuan, Jin and Liao for more than 150 years was all based on the benefits of the sea. The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty could think that the wise and wise emperor were even more aware of the wise and the Emperor Taizu. Therefore, after there was no risk of rebellion from the sea outside and the worries of the treacherous ministers and thieves inside, the previous ban was naturally lifted, and items that could bring huge profits to the Ming Dynasty were allowed to go to sea, but they were not allowed to sell vital materials."

"In the 27th year of Hongwu, Taizu said, 'Dare you dare to have private trades and all the mutual trades and all the important laws.' What does it mean?" Li Mo's other close friend, Ma Quan, the Minister of Revenue, said: "According to your logic, is Taizu banning trades again?"

"Master Ma, what Taizu-hsiung prohibits trading with the Chinese fans in private." Silently said, "The implication is that the official trading is only allowed. This is exactly the best strategy that Taizu-hsiung has come up with the best of both worlds. It can not only gain huge profits from maritime trade, but also prevent the people from forgetting their roots and abandoning their farming affairs."

Jiajing, who had always had a serious expression, also relaxed his face and smiled, "I said the last one. In the 30th year of Hongwu, 'The people were not allowed to go out to sea and trade with foreign countries.' It was obviously a reiteration of the previous article. The ultimate meaning of Taizu's master was obvious - the country can only trade, and it is not allowed to be carried out without permission." After a pause, he swept over the ministers and said, "This is the real Taizu's sage!" The tone was filled with an unconcealed sense of liberation... Even if he was the most powerful emperor in a century, he could not fight against the heavy ancestral teachings, so despite the financial difficulties, Emperor Jiajing was still unable to make a decision.

Now that I finally walked around this mountain in terms of legal principles, we can conduct a substantial discussion.

Li Mo didn't think so. He felt that if he lost this game, he would undoubtedly have a draw with the Yan Party today. He was immediately unhappy and gave his color to his fellow party members, but no one dared to get into trouble.

He had no choice but to curse indignantly: 'A group of cowards!' He actually attacked himself: "Your Majesty, I have benefited a lot from you, and have a deeper understanding of the ancestors of the great master, and have gained some experience."

"Tell me..." Emperor Jiajing said with a smile.

"The holy intention of Taizu is that in peace, the world can trade with foreign countries; but when there are thieves overseas, they should strictly enforce the ban on the sea!" Li Mo said with a tough head: "So, the Japanese turmoil was in trouble, and the Ministry of Rites asked to stop the Maritime Bureau. Now the Japanese turmoil is more rampant than before, and there is no ceremony to open the Maritime Bureau again."

Emperor Jiajing's face immediately pulled down, but was so speechless that he was speechless because Shen Mo had just analyzed that he was inscribed with such meaning. But Jiajing was such a smart person. He knew that the person who tied the bell was to untie it, so he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Is this what he meant?"

"Your Majesty," Shen Mo was sweating profusely, but he still said unhurriedly: "Please listen to how the Japanese and pirates were formed. Wei Chen lives in eastern Zhejiang and witnessed the market ban for more than ten years. However, smuggling was rampant. Ships of all sizes arrived every now and every few days were loaded with overseas goods. Because they could not sell immediately, they would always credit coastal merchants. Over time, the profiteering merchants bullied each other and owed tens of millions of dollars. When they were forced by the merchants, they would join the noble family to avoid disaster."

"The sea merchants are not allowed to wait for a long time, and they are eager to jump over the wall. There are often robberies. The nobles often make dangerous statements to coerce local officials and send troops to attack them. The sea merchants are very angry and entrenched in the islands, colluding with desperate people who are escalating from the sea, and plundering all the counties of the sea. There are scholars who are dereliction of duty, and they are quite guides. So Wang Wufeng, Xu Hai, and Chen Dong Ye Ma are all Chinese, but they are golden crowns and dragon robbers, and they are called Wang Hai Island! This is the so-called Japanese/pirates."

Shen Mo has been waiting for this day for a long time. He has always had this dream. He wants the self-righteous adults in the court to open their eyes and see what the Japanese/pirates are doing. Please stop making subjective assumptions and make a decision after patting their heads...

So he was extremely prepared and deduced every problem, so he was naturally orderly and in a disadvantageous way!

On this day, he gave everyone a shocking impression, extremely shocking, including Emperor Jiajing, Master Yan and Master Xu, all of whom had to look at this young man with admiration... They originally thought that this person had extraordinary talent and knowledge, but had little experience and qualifications, and could only talk about military affairs on paper. But now, seeing that he has a deep understanding of the rules and regulations, politics, circumstances and military affairs, it is obvious that it is not an exaggeration to be an old official who has been here for a long time...

When he saw the shocked expressions of everyone in silence, he felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and other anti-Japanese generals have repeatedly stated the root cause of the Japanese attack, but they are not understood by the government. They think that 'why is a martial artist talking about the government's affairs?' And he, a young man who was not as young as the one who was in a twentieth crown, became a Hanlin just because he won six consecutive yuan and became a Hanlin, and someone listened to what he said... This kind of funny thing is really unpleasant.

'Brother Yu, Brother Yuan Jing, let me fulfill everyone's wishes!' Silent took a deep breath and said with a cheerful voice: "It can be seen that the former chief assistant Xia Yan did not suppress the Japanese pirates." In order to avoid causing the displeasure of Jiajing and Yan Song, he had to take Xia Yan out and talked a little hoarsely: "This one-sided approach has intensified the Japanese pirates. In the past, the Japanese pirates were just a small-scale invasion, but after the market, the coastal maritime merchants, powerful people, and clans could not benefit, so they had to collude with Japanese pirates and carry out smuggling, which would plunder the prefectures and counties and harm one side." As he said that, he looked at Li Mo and said: "So the 'Japanese pirate disaster started from the market', but we cannot give up the food because of choking. Just this is just a market. That can only encourage smuggling and increase the strength of Japanese pirates, so that the relatives are hurt, and the enemy is happy. Please do not miss the attention!"

Li Mo was blocked by silence again, and the entanglement on Emperor Jiajing's face was gone again. Yun Danfeng asked gently: "What do you think of all the good people?"

While the adults looked at each other, the Minister of Revenue Fang Dunfang made a list and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Xiao Shen is enlightened. The Ministry of Revenue records that there was a Ma City in the east and a Tea City in the west, all of which were used to control the garrison fees of the border provinces. Overseas countries paid tribute and were allowed to carry local goods to trade with China. Because the Maritime Bureau was established and the officials were appointed to take charge of it, they promoted the feelings of the barbarians and suppressed the unscrupulous merchants, so that the law would be prohibited and the ban was used to eliminate the rifts of the provocation." As he said that, he wiped his head and sweated heavily and said tremblingly: "Obviously, the role of the Maritime Bureau can not only bring income, but also suppress smuggling and regulate trade, so that the unscrupulous merchants could not make profits, just like removing the firewood from the cauldron, which greatly weakened the Japanese/pirates."

"Give the old minister a seat." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said warmly: "From now on, you don't have to stand on the shift, just sit like Master Yan."

Xu Wei brought a Jindun to the 70-year-old Shangshu Fang. The old man was so excited that he burst into tears. He held Xiudun and knelt down tremblingly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."

"Hurry up the elder," Jiajing signaled to Xu Wei: "If there is an old family, if there is a treasure, we should respect and love the elderly in the court."

"Your Majesty is kind... I will remember it." The ministers bowed together and said.

After Fang Dun sat down, Jiajing said, "What are the objections to the reopening of the Maritime Warehouse?" The emperor rewarded Fang Dun just now, and the meaning was already very obvious, so the ministers agreed, Yan Shifan, Zhao Wenhua, Wu Peng and others thought that His Majesty was helping them to save the situation. They were so excited that their bladders were swelling, and their tongues were radiating, and their flattery was like a tide, which made Silence sigh... It was indeed a skill that he had specialized in his profession!

Even Li Mo dared not say anything anymore. He just stared at Chen Si with resentment. If his eyes could kill people, I guess Brother Zhuyan had died a hundred times.

Chen Si was also helpless. There was no good thing in this world that could be good at getting what you could do. If you satisfied these people, there would always be some dissatisfaction. If he had to offend one side, he had to pick up a soft persimmon and pinch it. He just didn't know that Lord Li, who felt that he was at the peak of his life, knew that Chen Si treated himself as a soft persimmon, would he imitate Wang Rong a hundred years ago and beat him to death in the court.

Of course I didn't dare, so Li Mo could only express his anger with his eyes... He had already admitted defeat, but he had already made up his mind. How could this kid be cured in this past period of time?

Since the ruler and his ministers have unified their opinions and decided to reopen the market, Xu Jie, as the secondary assistant, has the obligation to ask the emperor and silently: "If the market is reopened, how much does it cost?"

"A hundred thousand taels of silver is enough." Chen Jing said respectfully.

"So little?" Xu Jie frowned and said, "You have to think twice."

"How dare you speak wildly in front of Your Majesty and the Master?" Chen said respectfully: "This money is mainly used to repair the dock, rebuild clubs, contact workshops in various places, and pay the necessary deposit."

"Don't you need to build a ship?" Yan Shifan asked disappointedly... because as long as there are projects, he can make a fortune, big projects, small projects, and small projects, and never let any one go.

"It's good to build a ship," Silent spread his hands at Yan Shifan, "But sea boats do not need to be ships in rivers. They must withstand strong winds and waves. The cost is too high. Ten ships cost 400,000 taels of silver, and we can't afford them for the time being."

"How do you trade without a ship?" Ma Quan asked again.

"Tribute to each other." Silently curled his lips and said, "My Ming land is vast and rich, and the overseas countries admire our country's production very much. We only need to hold a "tea shop" at designated ports and carry out "tea shops" trade. In any country where His Majesty "contacts", he will only bring square goods and trade with the merchants and civilians in the official establishment of a business. This will also ensure that every transaction is fully taxed, and the court's income will naturally increase!" He said with a smile: "You can also liberate General Yu's naval army and allow them to act freely."

Finally no one said anything, and all the problems that could be thought of were settled by silence. Now everyone just wants to know how this guy practiced. Zhuge Liang was just like this when he talked about the scholars in the past, right?

"Okay!" Emperor Jiajing saw that no one spoke again, nodded and said, "Silence, sort out your idea of ​​mutual market and write a memorial."

"I obey the order..." Chen Si felt a burst of exhaustion and bowed to politely.

"Go back to court." Jiajing waved the whisk and disappeared behind the veil again.
Chapter completed!
