Soon, Liu Kang, the eunuch of the Bell and Drums, led Zhou Jiamo, the commander of Zhenhai, to enter the hall by the order. Zhou Jiamo brought a group of foreigners and missionaries behind him, including Spanish, Dutch, British, Italian and French. Many ministers looked at it very differently.

It sounds like the ministers argued back and forth, all of which were major national affairs, which invisibly gave the emperor the impression that "all of us are loyal to the country."

In fact, everyone has more or less understood the situation of preparing for state affairs, but in the hands of some people, it has become a tool of struggle and a good cover.

Until now, there are seemingly normal debates, but there are actually hidden clevernesses. A considerable number of people want Jia Cong to get out of bed as soon as possible, stay at home and stay filial, and don’t think about it in the future. Don’t think about getting up to the top after coming out. Shouldn’t you be more kind? How many Hanlin Jinshi are staring at the cabinet’s seat!

Zhou Jiamo and Jia Cong passed by, and Jia Cong gave him the position. Although the two did not exchange their eyes, they had already tacitly understood it.

When Zhou General, who had been stationed overseas for many years, he cried when he entered the hall and was in tears. He was so proud of the kindness of heaven that he could not speak for a long time. The emperor was not interested in the old man's suffering. Instead, he saw many people coming to worship him and suddenly became proud of the wise king of a great country: "Can the Gentile envoys know the beautiful language of our country?"

Defne was among them, and James and Johnson, who were both from Britain, met Jia Cong in his early years. Because of the expulsion of Yongle Dynasty, he retreated to Xixiang Country to preach. Now he is here, and they do not kneel down. Defne replied in a smooth official speech he learned along the way: "The messenger of the British Empire is willing to trade with the Eastern Shangbang for mutual benefit."

"Is the British Empire a small country formed by the convergence of two small islands of England and Ireland to the west of "The Complete Map of Kunyu All Nations",? It seems that it is not as good as my province. How dare you call it a great empire?" Ling Juezhi was puzzled.

Defney smiled, wearing a white skirt on her body, she was very sexy and had a wide range of knowledge and answered: "Your Majesty the wise and great Eastern monarch, I believe the Eastern powers are not unfamiliar with Portugal and Spain. They traveled thousands of miles to this place full of gold and traveled across the ocean. And I, Great Britain, defeated them one after another, and the territory includes America and India, is not smaller than yours."

The emperor pondered but felt a sense of broadening his horizons. Defney described their parliamentary system concisely, and the ministers immediately discussed and looked at each other. Isn’t the parliament’s restrictions on the king similar to our Eastern cabinet system?

In this way, how can we say that except for me, the others are all barbarians? And the previous so-called "small countries" have all been opened outside our country. Although they are small-scale, they can try to open other people's homes and countries if they have the ability?

Although Jia Cong looked sick, he stood without shaking and was extremely arrogant. This is also the reason why Jia Cong had a higher strategic vision than everyone. He did not focus all his energy on struggle, but wanted to let the country slowly open up, develop and rise.

By the way, he also led the family to rise.

Next was Christopher from the Netherlands. He knelt almost without hesitation. Jia Cong wanted to laugh. This was not entirely a problem of the Netherlands being unconscionable or admitting defeat at heart. According to Jia Cong's understanding, the Netherlands can be said to be the "first bourgeois country". They first established companies, banks, shareholders in the true sense, and regarded colonization as a cause.

The foundation of the Netherlands is almost the supreme business interests. They feel that it is nothing to kneel down for the sake of interests, money and career.

On the contrary, because of this, the Netherlands was so poor that there was only money left. The bourgeois self-maintenance caused them to be unable to enter industrialization first, and wealth caused them to collapse.

In any case, it is naturally very necessary for others to enter one of the nine world powers.

"We were the first to set up East India Company. Although it is difficult to maintain now, being able to get here is enough to show that we are not weak in economic and cultural terms."

The emperor was very fond of his kneeling and was very interested: "If you can learn from my Chinese rules and regulations and official language, even if you are polite people, what is Hua? If you are polite, then Hua is Hua, what is Yi? If you are rude and uncivilized, you are really the king of foreign countries to invest in the navigation business? So you can enjoy the success of your life?"

Defne said: "Yes, our Queen Elizabeth was very sensible. She invested her own money to give legitimacy to the great sailors. She made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver easily."

Jia Cong stared at the tip of his boots. The great voyager? Isn’t he a pirate? Britain has been unable to escape the essence of a robber from ancient times to the present!

Christopher was unwilling to fall behind and said unscrupulously: "Our Dutch career is more advanced than that of the United Kingdom. I have inspected money houses and bill numbers similar to the coastal cities of the Eastern powers. We have more advanced and extremely efficient banks and companies."

Defney snorted disdainfully. They finished speaking and presented gifts. The ministers' discussion gradually became less and more people were understanding and digesting the little "Western learning impact" brought by these foreigners. Some things were still unaware of some.

At this moment, Zhou Jiamo nodded to Jia Cong, held the carefully drawn silk map of Qianxiang Country in his own hand, and then after the eunuch turned it over, the emperor couldn't help but stand up excitedly and said, "My dear friends, this is my unsuccessful contribution to expanding territory in Dashun. Zhou Jiamo and Jia Cong are both great heroes."

Prince Zhongshun Ling Jue was unstable at the beginning, including those who had a relationship with him and stood on the same side as him, and those who were hostile to Jia Cong, who felt very disappointed and uncomfortable. He suddenly introduced foreign envoys to pay special luxury products such as spices and ivory. This series of changes made a counterattack. What does this mean? It was clearly Jia Cong slapped them in the face with one palm and one palm!

However, can Jia Cong’s turnovers be refuted? Is it too much? The answer is no!

As we all know, tribute is no less than expanding territory for feudal emperors. Not only that, it is the same for ministers, and assisting is a meritorious. It is even said that the Celestial Empire would rather suffer losses in tribute trade, such as rewards and things given to foreign countries are of far higher value than those of the other party, and the monarch and ministers are happy to see it.

This can be said to be a great power sentiment, which is so popular that it is overwhelming. To put it bluntly, it is... a bad pen. Of course, this statement is purely from the perspective of merchants and commodity trade. Politics and commerce cannot be confused or discussed. From Jia Cong's thinking, international trade suffers a great loss, which is not good for the family and country, and cannot bring anything to the people. He absolutely does not agree with the taxpayer's blood and sweat.

But now that he is following the local customs, he has to use this thing in turn and use his own way to give to him.

Suddenly, the world changed, Prince Zhongshun Ling Juechu smiled and was the first to come out to sing a hymn: "Your Majesty, my brother also thinks that Zhou and Jia should reward you, so you must not be disappointed with the hearts of the heroes."

Jia Yucun's eyes rolled and he quickly changed his words: "Prince Zhongshun said so much, I will discuss it."

"I am so proud of my advice. My emperor is wise and candle shines on all directions!" At that time, all the ministers agreed. Gao Wenqi sang lyrics and his teeth were almost broken.

The emperor was overjoyed and excited, and the officials discussed the title of title. Prince Zhongshun below was gentle and polite, and Jia Cong responded modestly, which was nothing more than a word of humility. Gao Wenqian had already signaled to the official on duty, and there was their thug in the military department. He immediately came out and replied: "Candle shone thousands of miles, the wise and powerful emperor, the envoy of the Dutch Kingdom bowed three times and nine times with my etiquette. The envoys of Spain, Britain, France, Italy and other foreigners should be like this."

"good."

"yes."

The majority of people who agree with each other are not only political enemies, but also many ministers believe that their country is the center of the world and that foreign countries should kneel down.

Jia Cong also expressed his understanding of their psychology, because most countries in the world who have had a little cultural civilization believe that their country is the center, and even African tribes have such ideas. However, when it comes to politics, it is not that someone has fought back against him?

"Bad Prince, don't make me angry..." Jia Cong looked humble and polite on the surface, but he was planning how to kill a group of people and hostile forces, and he hated him very much.

"It's okay, although I did not learn etiquette at all times when I was Long Qian, I was also taught." The emperor didn't know whether the Highness had a clear understanding of whether the balance was arguing, and his expression was very satisfied: "Just just now, the servants of the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Education reminded me that the governors and governors of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong unanimously agreed to open the sea and the port. The memorial was accumulated on my Dragon Case. I see that this matter was discussed together today and the red order was approved."

Speaking of government orders, it was the time when the Qin King was sensitive to the rebellion. Prince Zhongshun was not able to vote head-on, but some people waved flags and shouted. Many people were also dissatisfied with the emperor's relaxation of "rituals". Jia Yucun looked loyal: "I have said before that the national treasury was consumed and the income was not enough. Your Majesty, if it involves the Ministry of War's order, I may not be able to make any progress and be unable to handle it."

"The sea must be opened." Jia Cong stood up and said lightly: "Who doesn't need spices such as pepper and animal materials such as ivory, gentry and all the houses of the whole country, and the palaces of our emperor. I would like to ask the ministers, where does spices and ivory come from if they don't open the sea?"

"It is enough to implement the tribute trade of the dynasties and dynasties. Why do you have to compete with the people for profit?" said the Minister of Revenue.

"Caihai can provide four coastal provinces, and even Shandong has a large number of jobs to maintain overall stability, because the coastal areas are large, with small land and silk, and the sea ban, which can be banned for a while, and can be banned for a lifetime?" Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding jumped out to support Jia Cong.

The emperor looked at them with a smile, and Jia Cong looked around with justice and said, "Monk Zhongjing said it well. How can he benefit the people just by tribute trade? I think the profit is the selfishness of a group of villains! The profit of opening the sea is as above. If the sea is not opened, there will be blood and tears in the history books of Song and Ming dynasties, one by one: the more the sea is banned, the more chaotic the people are! The more the sea is banned, the poor people along the coast are increasingly unable to make a living! The strong pirates and merchants take the opportunity to rise, and the Japanese pirates slaughter my southeast, traversing Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as if they were entering a no-man! The horses were put on the south mountain, and the soldiers could not fight. Wouldn't the Four Departments of the Ministry of War be dereliction of duty? Isn't the last thing that lost is the state of our dynasty? The people who banned the sea are like this, and the officials and merchants control the smuggling, and once they are taken into state ownership, they will smuggle and chatter! Who is fighting for profit with the people?!"

"Does those who oppose the opening of the sea want to repeat the Japanese pirates in the southeast? The disaster of the people being tragically ravaged?! Are you trying to destroy my southeast? What's your intention?!"

Wang Yingyuan was worried, why did he talk about the old topic again? I didn’t expect Jia Cong to argue with reason and refute it, so many people didn’t know how to answer!

The sound shakes the hall tiles, and it feels refreshing!

Jia Yucun frowned: "This is just your one-sided statement. I was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and I have to know more about the situation than my ancestral home in Jinling."

"Okay, has Jia Sima investigated the real situation of the four coastal provinces today?" Jia Cong asked back.

"No, this is not the duty of my official."

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak!" Jia Cong looked heartbroken and burst into tears: "Who do you know why my country has been harassing on the coast? The Ministry of Rites only knows how to use false etiquette as a means of attack, the Ministry of War only knows first about the position on the butt, and how much does the Ministry of Revenue know about the economy? Do you also know that the economy is the fundamental cause of border wars in my country since ancient times?"

Jia Yucun, Prince Zhongshun, Gao Wenqi, even Shi Ding, Shui Rong, Wang Yingyuan, Bi Zhong and others were all confused! Isn't it... are you arguing about opening the sea and banning the sea? Why are you talking about the economy? The economy is the fundamental trigger, what is the logical reason? You can't understand at all!

"Since the Tang and Song dynasties, our country has been in a position of trade surplus. Although foreign spices and ivory are popular among the middle and upper classes, it doesn't matter if they don't. This is your thinking. But what about the living standards of ordinary people? Yes, you can ignore it, but the wars and chaos, why have the folk churches been popular for thousands of years and remain unchanged? Have you ever thought about it?"

Jia Cong said softly: "You have never thought that foreign countries have been in a trade deficit. As long as the trade deficit does not disappear, they will never be peaceful! It is always imperative to guard and station. Especially in the West, several countries can sail around the world. Once trade has high profits, if they do not seek strength, the pace of foreign aggression will never stop. I will tell you a fact that Britain bought our tea, and they have high trade channels, and even cultivated them in large quantities in the Nanyang and Tianzhu colonies. This is not enough! They have brought in opium that enslaved and ill-deed our whole country! Once they become addicted, once they sell opium at high prices, their trade deficit will be alleviated, and then we can only wait to die!"

"So, the emperor, I say that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War should take good care of this matter! Clarify the military affairs and economy! For the national economy! For the people! This is why the economy, military affairs and people's livelihood are important, and it is also why the governors and governors of the four coastal provinces agree with memorials. The minister is about to worry, and he is full of trouble, and he is not strong enough."

"The descendants mourn Qin but do not mourn themselves, and they also mourn their descendants again..." Jia Cong finished speaking, but the tears were not dry.

The political enemies don’t know how to refute it, how can they refute it? How well does he know? Even Gao Wenqi, one of the political enemies, couldn’t help but think in admiration: “Not only has Jia Cong’s great talent and full wings, but no one can sing a one-man show better than him!”

The Minister of Revenue Bi Zhong, trembling with excitement, said: "Emperor, I am not the most familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. What Jia Cong said was all about awakening the country and planning the country! Such loyalty, the emperor and the queen are earth, the sun and the moon are bright, and it can be seen!"

"No one is a villain!" The emperor clenched his fists excitedly: "My eyes are not blind, who is living a pampered life? He shirks his ruthlessness? Who is turning the tide? Regardless of safety? The Taiwan Mansion has surrendered, and the Queen is coming to see her soon. In the past, there was a land Silk Road, which made a strong man. Today, he opened the sea silk and made a perfect life. Those who do their best to do this are all loyal ministers."

Jia Cong's eyes were still filled with tears. In fact, he and the emperor had not planted seeds of conflict since they met him. This was incomparable to Zhang Juzheng.
