Ye Chunqiu seemed to have expected Zhu Houzhao to come forward. He probably knew a little about what happened outside, so he was not surprised at Zhu Houzhao's sudden summons at this time.

Ye Chunqiu stood up, sorted out his clothes, especially put on the python robe he had given him. Without any negligence, he immediately left the new army camp of Zhenguo and went straight to the palace to meet him.

I took a carriage to the outside of the Meridian Gate, entered the palace from the Meridian Gate, and then arrived at the Warm Pavilion. Not surprisingly, many people were waiting for Ye Chunqiu here.

Zhu Houzhao sat behind the imperial desk in a vigor, looking meticulous, but when he saw Ye Chunqiu, he blinked at Ye Chunqiu when no one noticed it.

Ye Chunqiu did not dare to respond to him. Seeing that Liu Jian and others were there, he did not dare to be arrogant and salute obediently.

Then, Zhu Houzhao said, "Sit down and talk."

Someone brought a Jindun to come, and Ye Chunqiu was lying down and then said, "I don't know what happened to Your Majesty summoning me to come?"

Zhu Houzhao coughed, looked at Liu Jian and others, and said, "I am just a peacemaker today, you can tell me." After that, he looked at Liu Jian and the others again.

Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, but looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "I am corrupt. To be honest, I know nothing about the affairs of Folangji and ships. Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, I can really tell the story of Folangji and the navy. I guess the only one who can tell the story of Folangji and the navy is the only one who can tell the story of Zhenguo."

Ye Chunqiu smiled shyly and said, "In fact, Chunqiu doesn't know much."

"Don't be humble." Liu Jian smiled. Xie Qian, who was sitting beside him, Wang Hua and Li Dongyang laughed, and Li Dongyang said: "Duke Zhenguo is young and so humble. It's true that he is very human. He should have a child like Ye Chunqiu."

"..." Li Dongyang, who was always cautious, spoke up, and praised himself for being so creative, Ye Chunqiu was a little amused and crying.

"Hey..." At this time, Liu Jian sighed and said, "The cabinet is worried about Folangji. The attack in Quanzhou cannot breed again. If it happens again, you and I will be sinners forever. I think about it and build a navy and defend the enemy outside the country. Is there any idea in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

Ye Chunqiu could actually understand the difficulties of Liu Jian and others. He thought for a while and said, "It is a responsibility to protect the country and the people. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of naval master. This naval master is to be built. In fact, Chunqiu knows that it is not easy for the people of Folang Ji to be obsessed with navigation techniques. It has been a long time since the Ming Dynasty forbidden seas. Many of the skills of our ancestors have been lost. They are proficient in this path, but in the Ming Dynasty, they are blinded. Now, the construction of a naval master is also extremely important."

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu glanced at everyone with a complicated expression and continued, "Actually... Ye is deeply grateful to the country, and he wants to serve the court with slight power."

Ye Chunqiu said solemnly: "If Your Majesty and the Cabinet are willing to issue an order to order Zhenguo Mansion to establish the Navy, Chunqiu is willing to be brave enough to serve the Navy. Chunqiu is willing to do his best to raise the military expenses of the Navy and defend the Ming Dynasty. It is not only the responsibility of the court and the responsibility of Zhenguo Mansion. Everyone serves the emperor, prosper and prosper and loses the same. They should not separate each other."

Ye Chunqiu's words were extremely sincere.

Suddenly, Liu Jian and others felt a little embarrassed. They were thinking about how to lobby Ye Chunqiu, but who knew that Ye Chunqiu took the initiative to mention it, with both passion and emotion, and was completely selfless.

Zhu Houzhao sat there quietly, listening to Ye Chunqiu's answer, which was also very pleasant. Otherwise, why would he say it was a brother? The hot potato that others were eager to throw away, Chunqiu was eager to pick it up, and there was only one reason, just to share your worries.

It’s true that the horsepower is known from a distance, and people’s hearts are seen over time.

Liu Jian coughed and had no choice but to laugh, but he didn't know what to say. He soon discovered that the obstacle to building a navy is not Ye Chunqiu, but the shareholder of Zhenguo Mansion. Even if Ye Chunqiu expressed his opinion here, what can those people be willing to do it?

However, Li Dongyang became deeper, but seemed to be thinking about something, and he remained silent for a moment.

Wang Hua and Xie Qian felt very pleased. They did not misunderstand the person.

"Just..." Liu Jian looked at Ye Chunqiu with admiration and then said, "The navy is too expensive. How can the Zhenguo Mansion raise money and food? I open the skylight and say something. Chunqiu himself said that in the future, it will take at least three to five million taels of silver to maintain the navy. This amount is too large. Besides, I am afraid that Chunqiu will be willing, and not others will be willing too?"

He still expressed his doubts.

Ye Chunqiu knew in his heart that the time was coming to see the brilliance of the picture, and said, "If other shareholders refuse, Chunqiu is willing to lobby them one by one, explain the interests and ask them to put the overall situation first; money and food are indeed troublesome, but in fact, it is not completely impossible to convince other shareholders..."

Hearing this, everyone cheered up and looked at Ye Chunqiu with bright eyes.

Liu Jian said directly: "How do you say this?"

"Now the imperial court implements a sea ban, and goods cannot enter and exit, but it is necessary to open the sea. This is the law of the ancestors. I am afraid that there are some difficulties. Since it cannot open the sea, it is better to find a solution. If the imperial court can acquiesce the Zhenguo Mansion to monopolize the sea trade and allow the Zhenguo Mansion's ships to trade with other countries, there will be a way to raise more money and grain in the spring and autumn, so that the shareholders can also give an explanation."

Maritime trade!

This is the key.

What is the purpose of building a navy? Although there is a need for defense, isn’t it necessary to ensure sea access? Once the waterway is secured, it is really unreasonable if you don’t do some small business.

In this era, the interoperability of the existence and whether there are or not is a profitable industry. The Ming Dynasty porcelain was transported to Japan, which was dozens of times the interest rate spread. The spices from Nanyang were transported to the Ming Dynasty, which was dozens of times the profit. This was not a sea trade, but it was just a ship to transport gold and silver. The profit here was too big. It was precisely because of this that although the Ming Dynasty was banned from the sea, countless people still took the risk of beheading. It was because of this that if a boat was taken, in modern people, it would be like a bicycle turning into a motorcycle, and the beheading business was also done.

Once Zhenguo Mansion obtains the franchise of the sea trade, the title of the Ming East India Company will be truly confirmed. No matter how expensive the navy is, whoever controls the ocean will control the wealth of the world, not to mention millions of taels of silver, even if this amount increases several times, Ye Chunqiu will never frown.
