Chapter 161: Ambition

Ye Chunqiu's words definitely shocked Zhu Houzhao's impression.

Ye Chunqiu saw Zhu Houzhao's expression in his eyes, and actually understood Zhu Houzhao's mood very much.

However, Ye Chunqiu's statement seemed to have not finished yet. At this time, he said: "This is just silver, gold is 2 million taels. In addition, there are many rare treasures, even countless. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has been banned for more than a hundred years. These should be the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but they were occupied by the small country of Cuer. Are you angry?"

Teacher Ye is still very professional, and he has started to play with fake concepts again. What he means is, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, right? The treasures and gold and silver in this world should be yours. Now the Spanish and the Portuguese are ripe, and this is their robbery of your money.

Zhu Houzhao's face flushed, and he was actually a little confused. The amount was too large. He was once proud of the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he had stored in the treasury, but the satisfaction was suddenly swept away and became boring.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply and then said, "It's just that I want to open the sea, how can it be so easy? I'm afraid that there will be another dispute at that time. Since that's the case, then Your Majesty and I should regain our money. This franchise means that it is to use franchise to avoid the sea ban. Your Majesty, just wait in the palace to build more internal warehouses to prepare for the silver, and there is the Zhenguo Mansion..."

Zhu Houzhao listened, her eyes gradually lit up, she slapped her forehead and said, "I understand, ha... why don't you talk to the cabinet ministers?"

Ye Chunqiu sighed and said helplessly: "Hey... scholars cannot talk about money. If my brothers talk about these things to them, it will not only be vulgar, but also..."

"I understand." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "If they know at that time, they will grit their teeth and go into the sea, the money will eventually come from Zhenguo Mansion and my inner treasury. I wonder if they will jump up in anger. I'm scared, Chunqiu, I didn't expect you to be so sinister, but I like it."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands excitedly, and then said, "They robbed my money. I want them to return it to me with the capital and profit. This is to make money by opening the sea. Well... Then again, is Spain and Portugal really that rich?"

Zhu Houzhao held her chin and looked very serious, but her eyes were full of fierceness.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao with bright eyes and couldn't help but feel speechless. This guy must have had the experience of robbing the family in his previous life.

Ye Chunqiu sighed in his heart. He originally thought that his words were to give Zhu Houzhao a sense of urgency and to teach Zhu Houzhao to fully support the franchise of Zhenguo Mansion. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao's first thought was that the two seniors who were opening sea were so wealthy, would he want to go and have a vote for them?

Ye Chunqiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but said, "But the most urgent thing is now, I'd better put on the air first. It's not so easy to really go into the sea. But I'm already preparing."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly shook her head and sighed quietly, showing a little sadness.

Zhu Houzhao was still excited just now. When Ye Chunqiu saw that he suddenly became depressed, he couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Hey..., let's go back, this life is sad." Zhu Houzhao said quietly: "In the past, I had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so I was very satisfied. I lived a happy life. But now, after hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that the inner treasury was just a little bit, and there was no meaning at all. I was really sad..."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked up at Fangliang, and then expressed his thoughts with a bitter look: "But those hundreds of millions of dollars are still nothing. I can see and touch them, but I look down on Xiao Qian. In the future, I am afraid I will lose my mind if I want to eat and eat. I... am afraid of being poor."

The word "poverty" was used to describe him. When Ye Chunqiu listened, he felt that the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch. After a while, he had to say, "Your Majesty, be patient."

Zhu Houzhao said again: "We have to agree to come first. When the ship gets into the water, the navy will probably have some clues. I will board the ship myself."

Seeing Ye Chunqiu frowned again, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I think it's my begging you, I haven't taken a boat yet."

Ye Chunqiu did not argue with it. He dared not make any decisions about this matter without authorization. Things at sea are not just a joke. At least in this era, it is definitely a high-risk matter.

Ye Chunqiu looked around and said, "The most troublesome thing at the moment is the base problem. Where should this navy be built?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't care much and said casually: "Just in Tianjin. As long as I say hello, there will be no objection to the cabinet. They are now begging for it and throwing the hot potatoes to the Zhenguo Mansion as soon as possible."

There is nothing wrong with Tianjin guarding the capital.

But Ye Chunqiu did not agree with it and said, "Your Majesty, there are many benefits in Tianjin Guards, but has Your Majesty ever thought that if it is built in the pass, it is very inappropriate to be stared at by all officials. Since Your Majesty has ambition, why not build it in a more dangerous place?"

Zhu Houzhao raised his head in surprise. He was a little confused about Ye Chunqiu's meaning. He looked at Ye Chunqiu with confusion and said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "Have you forgotten your Majesty? I have always heard that there is an isolated island hanging outside Shanhaiguan. It was named after the Qin Emperor's pursuit of immortality, so it is called Qinhuangdao. This path is just across the bank from Shanhaiguan, occupying a hundred miles of area. I want to order someone to investigate there."

What Ye Chunqiu said was Qinhuangdao in later generations. Because it was adjacent to Shanhaiguan, but now it is not very crowded.

Qinhuangdao in later generations was already connected to the mainland, but in this era, Qinhuangdao was just an island.

In the early years, the "Juedao" mentioned by Chen Wan in his poem was Qinhuangdao. The so-called Juedao is an isolated island, isolated in the sea. Now this island has been beyond recognition. Qinhuangdao in the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty was originally a deserted and crowded island under the jurisdiction of Funing County. Although Qinhuangdao is small, it is very spiritual, so there are many books in history. In the 14th year of Hongzhi, there is a record of "Yongping Prefecture Chronicles·Mountains": "Qinhuangdao is seventy miles east of Funing County, and there are mountains in the sea. It is said that Qin Shihuang once stayed here for seeking immortality."
