Chapter 743 Future Joseon Sejong
"Your Majesty is already impatient. Zheng He's voyage to the West makes a lot of profit, but some people are still talking about the need to waste the people's money."
Xie Jin frowned and said, "But going to the West is indeed a waste of money."
Fang Xing leaned on the back of the chair without any image and said slowly: "This is a cognitive error caused by the different places you pay attention to. Think about it, how many people can have work to build a treasure ship? Then it is to buy goods. This is another benefit that can drive consumption in the Ming Dynasty. Finally, it is the wealth brought back. How much can you exchange for when you ask your Majesty to trade? And Your Majesty also ordered the people to buy it and take it back and sell it yourself."
"To add up these, Mr. Jie, how about you calculate it compared to Song before?"
Xie Jin said without hesitation: "Most of the so-called purchasing is run by the government, followed by Zheng He is not a businessman. If you go, you will probably be shocked by the gains."
Fang Xing sighed: "This is the problem! If private trade can be opened up, the official will only supervise and collect taxes. The Ming Dynasty will not only reap wealth, but also expand overseas. Unfortunately, those civil servants are short-sighted and wish they could build a high wall along the coast, and they will die of stupidity!"
Xie Jin drank a sip of wine, grabbed peanuts in his hand, and said leisurely: "The people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one dares to place their future on the loyalty of the people to the Ming Dynasty. If someone founded a country overseas, or the people's ambitions and disobeyed control, then the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos!"
Huang Zhong also agreed: "The government will conduct trade so that there will be fewer details and everyone will be happy."
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "It is better to be loose than to block it. If you are afraid of the people, then I think the rule of the Ming Dynasty will be a failure and will be over sooner or later!"
After saying this, Xie Jin and Huang Zhong remained calm.
"So from top to bottom, everyone likes the simplicity of the people, and then the people become fools who only know how to farm, so the government will be able to manage them."
Fang Xing said helplessly: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has already shown signs of changing courses. Now the fishermen in Taizhou Prefecture go out to sea like a river. Not only did those who build ships make money, but the fishermen also earn more income. Finally, the merchants traveled around the world to sell canned seafood in the Ming Dynasty. I heard that some people are already thinking about selling canned food on the grassland and let the barbarians taste what the taste of the sea is."
Xu Qing is now ambitious to make canned seafood bigger and stronger. He has attracted a group of merchants in Taizhou Prefecture and extended his tentacles to the entire Zhejiang/jiang River, with increasing output.
The nature of capital determines its expansionary nature when it is born. As long as it can be sold, merchants dare to go into the market without any restrictions. If officials want to stop it, then let’s collude first.
The collusion failed? Haha! Then let’s use other means, I don’t believe it, you won’t accept it!
He was awakened by this, but he just handed over the list of corrupt officials to Zhu Zhanji. He will not move at the moment and will talk about it later.
This is the inevitable path to innovation. Unless it is a united mind, you should not think that you can transform the Ming Dynasty without paying a price.
Seeing all this, Xia Yuanji happily reported to him the recent data from Taizhou Prefecture every month, and he was a little interested in relaxing the entire commercial market.
But Zhu Di was very cautious. He felt that he needed to observe and see what bad effects these changes would have on the Ming Dynasty and the royal family.
So Xu Qing and the merchants were like fish entering the water, and were in the Ming Dynasty's shopping mall.
Fang Xing found Xu Fangda, snatched the math book in his hand, and frowned and said, "Look at what your eyes are like now? You need to have a bright and chilling study. You must rest for half an hour and go out for a walk, otherwise in a few years, you don't want to go out without glasses!"
Xu Fangda said dumbly: "Teacher, I understand."
Alas! My father is a capitalist who has started to thrive from his pores, but his son is a tireless and good student who doesn’t care about money and property at all.
People in this world are indeed born different!
"Write a letter to tell your father that business is business, but people cannot be blinded by money. Be cautious! Don't walk at night!"
Fang Xing left, Xu Fangda didn't think much about it, so he quickly wrote Fang Xing's original words in the letter and handed them over to the person who stayed in Jinling.
Then the book occupied Xu Fangda's time except for teaching.
If you are sincere in your work, everything will be accomplished!
...
Li Qi was placed under house arrest at Jin Sili's residence, and he was suffering every day, so he finally waited for an envoy from North Korea.
"How about Father?"
Li Qi's face was a little pale, but it was much better than when he met Fang Xing in North Korea.
"Master, your highness is in good health. He is just worried about you being in the hands of the Ming people. Therefore, this time I was ordered to go on a mission to the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose is to negotiate with the Ming Emperor and bring you back to North Korea."
Li Qi smiled slightly, looking gentle and elegant: "Forget it, you should do this slowly, there is no need to be anxious."
The envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Today, I went to see Lord Lu of the Ministry of Rites, but he ignored this matter and asked me to find the Xing and Bo."
"Xinghe Bo Fang woke up?"
Li Qi's eyes shrank, remembering the artillery demonstration that the landslides and the disdainful gaze of Fang Xing.
...
Fang Xing was also surprised, looking at Jin Sili kneeling in front of him and said, "The Ministry of Rites must ask His Majesty for this matter! It has nothing to do with me."
Jin Sili had lost a lot of weight, no longer as reserved as before, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, Lord Lu said you brought him back, so of course you have to take care of him."
Gou Ri’s Lu Zhen! This is a grudge that he brought a body back to the city!
However, Lu Zhen said nothing wrong. The Ministry of Rites did not interfere in this matter, so it is normal to scatter your hands, and no one can make mistakes.
Fang Xing changed his mind and smiled and said, "Ming Dynasty and North Korea are good neighbors and good friends. This matter is simple, so I'll wait for my uncle to submit a memorial."
After Jin Sili left with great gratitude, Fang Xing hurried into the palace.
"If you don't hold your potatoes at home, why do you want me?"
Not long after the child was born, the news that Fang Xing loved his son named Tudou was full of controversy.
These days, we have been paying attention to a strict father and kind mother, so Fang Xing’s actions made people secretly laugh at him.
Fang Xing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I think too! But the four Jin powers blocked me at home, saying that I brought Li Qi back, but no one cares about it now, and I want the envoy to take him back to North Korea."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and thought, "How is Li Qi like this?"
"I am not very old, but I am very cunning. Although I am not an heir, I am very fond of Li Fangyuan. I think this person will be a strong contender for the King of Korea in the future."
“Um…”
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and explained: "Let's detain it for now, but there is no need to supervise it. I don't believe that he dares to escape back to the country privately!"
Fang Xing complained in his heart: With the strict household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, Li Qi would have to be intercepted by the patrol if he could walk out of Jinling City at most fifty miles.
And Li Qi didn't dare to escape!
