Dongming Ziyu has come all the way from prince, prince, emperor, supreme emperor, and supreme emperor. Building a navy is not a problem.

"Weichen believes that we can build a wharf first and develop our domestic shipping first. The wharf was built by the imperial court, but the land around the wharf can be sold to build shops, restaurants, inns, warehouses, etc.

Various constructions have driven related industries and can collect a lot of tax revenue. In addition, the money from selling land can be used to build docks and the initial expenses of building a navy.

Once the wharf is up and running, the tax revenue from passing ships will come. When the conditions are mature, maritime transportation will be liberalized, overseas trade will be opened, and a shipping tax office will be established to specifically manage shipping tax revenue, and will be directly responsible to the Ministry of Revenue and the emperor..."

The emperor nodded. Maritime trade has always been violent, but the taxes collected, after layers of exploitation, were not much in the hands of the court. It would indeed be a good idea to set up a special yamen to manage this set of taxes and reduce the number of intermediary departments.

"However, grain, salt and iron cannot be traded."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Isn't it the imperial court that has the final say on what can and cannot be sold? Foreign trade regulations can be established to clearly stipulate what cannot be bought and sold. Once discovered, it will be considered treason.

On the contrary, other overseas countries may not restrict these. We can buy food and ore from them to make up for the shortcomings of our resources."

As the emperor listened, he sat up straight and kept asking questions, getting more and more detailed.

The more the monarch and his ministers talked, the more they became more and more speculative. Unknowingly, they talked until dark, and Dongming Ziyu had dinner before returning home.

Everyone was waiting for him, with worried looks on their faces.

When Mrs. Qian saw him coming back with a full beard and a full figure, she recited a Buddhist verse, grabbed him and asked, "I heard that you were left in the palace by the emperor. What happened?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "It's a national matter. It's not convenient to tell you now. Well, it's not a bad thing."

Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it's not a bad thing."

Old Man Dong asked: "Have you eaten? Everyone is still waiting for you to eat."

Dongming Ziyu said with a smile: "Eat it, eat it with the emperor."

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she perked up and said, "The food the emperor eats is called imperial meal, right? Is it delicious?"

Dongming Ziyu helped her walk into the house, "It's delicious. Can the food the emperor eats not be delicious?"

Wulang took Dongming Ziyu's other hand, raised his face and asked, "Dad, what kind of dishes do you have?"

"Yes, Fourth Uncle, tell us."

"Si'er, speak quickly and let us learn more."

"Fourth brother, I heard that the emperor's toilets are all inlaid with gold rims. Is it true?"

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Dongming Ziyu patiently told them, of course he picked it up and talked about it.

After dinner, Shangguan Ruoli returned to the bedroom and saw Dongming Ziyu writing a book with a code of law in front of him.

Shangguan Ruoli walked over, took a look, and said, "Did you talk to the emperor about building a navy and launching a sea ban today?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded and kept writing on his hand, "The emperor asked me to write out a detailed strategy and give it to him."

Shangguan Ruoli put his hand on his shoulder naturally, "It's been a tiring day. Stop lighting the lamp and boiling oil. Take a good rest."

"This little thing is nothing compared to the original." After saying this, he put down his pen, reached out and took Shangguan Ruoli into his arms, and let her sit on his lap, "Are you worried about me?"

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "No, I know that no matter what happens, you can turn danger into safety."

Dongming Ziyu was impressed by what he heard, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Shangguan Ruoli nodded and said seriously: "In my heart, you are the most powerful."

Dongming Ziyu smiled, "Really? Then tonight, let's behave well for my husband."

"Hey, you..." Before Shangguan Ruoli could finish his words, he picked him up and carried him into the space.

The couple enjoyed a night of great harmony, and woke up feeling refreshed and looking good in the morning.

Dongming Ziyu put more than half of the policy he had written into the space and took it to the Hanlin Academy to finish it. His errands were very leisurely and he could finish them in the Hanlin Academy. Of course, he didn't want to go home and deal with official matters.

After arriving at the Hanlin Academy, I felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. They were whispering to each other in small groups. After seeing him coming, they stopped talking. They looked a little curious, a little embarrassed, and some were hesitant to speak.

He knew that it must be the reason why the emperor had closed the door with him and chatted privately with him all afternoon yesterday. He pretended not to see their expressions and returned to his seat.

He is not on duty at the palace today, so he will finish writing the strategy for the emperor while his thoughts are still running smoothly.
