Wang's living room.

Huang Ke sighed and said, "Son-in-law, Your Majesty has always been absurd, why should you get involved?"

"Is Lord Taishan here to persuade me?" Wang Yuan asked.

Huang Ke said: "The sea ban is the ancestral system. Opening the sea will lead to the great trouble of the world. If you have the merit of suppressing chaos and destroying the country, you are also the top scholar. If you have been safe and stable for a few years, you will have to do it. Once you wade into the muddy water of Kaihai, it will be criticized and your future will be even more tortuous."

Wang Yuan asked, "Chu Liang, please come and persuade me?"

Huang Ke said: "Even if there is no Master Liang, I will come to persuade him."

Wang Yuan asked again: "If I insist on going to Zhejiang, will they play any external tricks?"

Huang Ke actually understood the word "pan outside trick" as soon as he heard it, and warned: "The water in the sea ban is too deep. Once you are involved, it will inevitably be extremely dangerous."

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Are the gentry in those places more terrifying than the barbarians of Turpan?"

Huang Ke said: "You can indulge in the Western Regions, but when you arrive in Zhejiang, can you still kill all the gentry?"

Wang Yuan sneered: "Kill a group, scare a group, and pull a group, that's all."

"You really don't want to look back?" Huang Ke asked.

Wang Yuan asked back: "Does Lord Taishan want to break up with me because of this?"

Huang Ke sighed and said, "That won't be. Alas, you are determined to wade into the muddy water, and I can't help you, so I can only say that you should do it yourself."

"I should be careful," Wang Yuan said.

Huang Ke suddenly asked: "Son-in-law, there is no good port in Hangzhou, why did you choose to open the sea?"

Wang Yuan did not answer, but just smiled and said, "The court is waiting to see the joke, right?"

It is absolutely impossible for Hangzhou to build a port because the mud and sand there are too shallow, so only flat-bottomed boats are allowed to pass. Sea boats with too deep drafts must be stranded when they come in, and officials in Jiangnan are very clear.

However, no one gave a reminder.

These guys are so naughty that since they can't stop the emperor from opening the sea, let the emperor go and open it. It would be strange if the broken place in Hangzhou can do maritime trade!

Wang Yuan is not a god, so of course he cannot build a harbor in Hangzhou. His eyes are staring at Jiaxing.

But the large beach in Jiaxing is a salt field. If you choose to open the sea directly, you will encounter greater resistance. You will definitely say that the opening of the sea in Jiaxing will destroy the salt course.

The court officials’ doubts were not only the opening of the sea in Hangzhou, but also the problem of Zhejiang Beiguan.

The emperor replaced the Guanzhong Cao, a worker in southern Zhejiang, but did not return the Guanzhong Cao, a city in Beiguan. Beiguan is much more prosperous than Nanguan. The "Beiguan Night Market" is one of the eight scenic spots in Qiantang. It is brightly lit all night long. Why didn't the emperor control Beiguan?

After thinking about it, the court officials only thought that the emperor and Wang Yuan could not figure out the situation, and they didn't even understand the specific situation in Hangzhou, and were waiting there to watch jokes.

After all, Huang Ke was Wang Yuan's father-in-law. Seeing that he could not persuade him, he kindly reminded him to avoid Wang Yuan falling into trouble in Hangzhou.

Wang Yuan said, "Master Taishan, you don't have to ask about this matter anymore. The son-in-law has already had a comprehensive plan."

"Then I won't ask." Huang Ke went to say a few more words to his daughter, and then took a bus to leave the Wang family.

Huang E sent his father out of the gate and turned his head to ask, "Second brother, most court officials are opposed to opening the sea. Why do you have to go to Zhejiang?"

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Huang E shook his head and said, "There is always a reason for Taizu banning the sea, and there are also reasons for court officials to oppose opening the sea. I am just a little curious."

Wang Yuan said: "Taizu banned the sea because the Mongol Yuan was not destroyed, and Zhang Shicheng's remnants colluded with Japanese pirates to attack the coast. The court officials banned the sea because they went out quietly, fearing that they would cut off their financial path after opening the sea. When Taizong was banned the sea, the strictest sea ban was controlled by the court. Now he only knew about sea bans and did not learn from Taizong to voyage to the West, which was a bribery of his own hands and feet."

"So that's it." Huang E immediately understood.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very interesting. He planted more than 500,000 trees in Nanjing, most of which were tung trees, palm trees and sumac trees. The original intention was to collect tung oil, palm hemp, and raw lacquer on the spot to supply it to the palace, so that there was no need to collect it from the people.

As a result, these three types of trees are all important raw materials for shipbuilding, which directly provided convenience for Zheng He to voyage to the West.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sea ban at that time was not strictly enforced because China's coastline was too long. Zhu Di was still smart and only allowed the people to build flat-headed boats, which not only guaranteed the livelihood of fishermen, but also prevented the people from engaging in ocean-going trade.

Therefore, when Wang Yuan arrived in Zhejiang, it was very easy to investigate and ban smuggling.

As long as you encounter an unofficial pointed ship, you will be eliminated directly. There is no need to verify your identity.

Unfortunately, Wang Yuan did not have a navy in his hands. Due to the long-term "peace", the imperial court had long stopped producing large and medium-sized sea ships. The water masters and apprentices in Zhejiang and Fujian were famous for their reputation, "warships and sergeants were one or two", and only small boats could be patrolled in the coast.

Wang Yuan went to Zhejiang this time, which was worse than in the Western Regions. Although he was carrying a thousand Shenji camp, he could not let the musket soldiers row a boat to escort it. If there was no escort fleet, the sea trade caravan organized by Wang Yuan would inevitably encounter "Japanese pirates" as soon as he went out to sea. Those crazy guys would definitely stare at Wang Yuan to fight!

Anyway, as long as Wang Yuan’s caravan cannot make a deal, the court will naturally have no profit and there will be nothing to talk about when opening the sea.

The problem is that the Ministry of Revenue does not cooperate and Wang Yuan has no money in his hands, so where can he get the capital to build large warships?

Wang Yangming is in Jiangxi, poor and spies are everywhere. Wang Yuan is in Zhejiang, the same is true, and the situation is even worse.

Back to the back house.

Xiangxiang and Qiyun were reading and practicing calligraphy, but it was Xia Chan who taught them.

Xia Chan complained, "Oh, you guys are so stupid. You can't practice the word "�" for two days."

Xia Chanzhen didn't deliberately make things difficult for her. She was teaching two alien women the "Three Character Classic" and taught them in order. She didn't know what scientific teaching methods were.

After complaining for a few words, Xia Chan continued to teach carefully and explained in detail: "The word '生' means to practice foot, so it is the '制'. Let's look at the right...

Wang Yuan was funny when he heard it outside the house, so he went in and patted Xia Chan's head: "Tell me the simple words first."

Xia Chan touched her head and said, "This is how we teach you."

Wang Yuan was too lazy to say again: "Let's take a break."

Xia Chan's personality is quite likable. She is privately slandered, but she is strict with outsiders. She doesn't like Xiangxiang and the other two, but she doesn't deliberately make things difficult for her, and she also teaches them to study seriously.

Huang E entered and said, "My second brother will leave Beijing tomorrow. I will play and sing a song with my sister, which is considered as a helper for my second brother."

Wang Yuan dragged a recliner and lay down leisurely, so he could enjoy it at home.

Huang E played the newly learned Western Regions second-stringed zither, Xiangxiang and Qiyun danced with each other, and Xia Chan came to beat Wang Yuan's legs. This little life was really comfortable.

On the road to the south, dozens of letters have been sent out, and the content is nothing more than that the court is about to open the sea.

When Wang Yuan takes office, the smuggling maritime merchants will be ready!
