There is still a way.

Jiang Dejing, one of the current cabinet masters, was born in the Fujian Shi family. Although he was in the last seat, he was also one of the four most powerful ministers. The foundation of the Jiang family is in the Fuquan Institute, which was the roots he took when Emperor Taizu Gao. He was on the front line of coastal defense and experienced a huge wave of smuggling for all people. If the Jiang family had nothing to do with the maritime merchants, who would believe it?

But now is not a good time.

The plan to launch a summer offensive by the Eastern Palace is not a secret for the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chuanting had already taken some heads of the Ministry of War to the Zhending Headquarters in advance to listen to it. The six ministries traveling in Jinan also transferred a lot of people, either enriching the General Logistics Department or directly transferring them to the Eastern Palace servant room. At this time, it was really inappropriate to discuss the establishment of the Maritime Bureau with the Crown Prince.

You have to finish the battle in front of you.

However, Zheng Zhilong's lobbyists did not think so. They suspected that Jiang Dejing looked down on Zheng Zhilong, so they ignored it. This kind of inferiority complex could not be eradicated or solved. Jiang Dejing simply made a report and ran straight to Xuzhou to control Huai. Who knew that when he arrived at the Huai River, he could no longer stop. He ran up the Huai River, organized river workers to survey the waterways, applied for disaster relief, and special funds for Huai River control, and actually devoted himself to the big pit of Huai River control.

Zhu Cilang certainly knew that the country in his previous life had been investing in the management of the Huaihe River since its founding. Although the results were significant, this black hole seemed to be filled forever. Until he was reincarnated, the provinces passing through the Huaihe River would invest tens of billions of dollars in governance every year.

Of course, the current situation is not as complicated as later generations. At least water pollution does not exist, and the accumulation of silt and sand in the tailbone of Huaihai is relatively lighter.

"The silver is really not enough, please ask Mr. Jiang to find some solutions along the river." Zhu Cixuan paused and said, "Although there is no silver, there are still rewards. Let the servants write a manuscript praising the officials to come to the front line and grasp the actual situation, and submit it to the "Huangming News" for publishing."

Lu Suyao nodded immediately and said yes. Seeing that the Crown Prince had no new orders, he hurried out to ask someone to do so.

Zhu Cixuan waited for Lu Suyao to go out and then refocused on the current property statement. The expenses inside and outside the palace were already quite large. Once the war was fought, it would be spent on money. The most tragic thing was that it was a counterattack war, and even if the prefectures and counties were conquered, it would only be restored. Not only would no one reimburse military expenses, but funds would also be allocated to rebuild them.

No wonder later generations kept shouting "Defend the enemy outside the country", and it was really heartbreaking to see wars on their own territory.

As the actual controller of the empire, Zhu Cilang looked at the balance on hand that was less than 100,000 taels, even not as good as a large family in the south, and inevitably had the idea of ​​deficit management. He changed his mind from the financial statements and got the report from the Dongchang on southern Fujian, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but lit up his eyes.

——Zheng Zhilong wants to open a Maritime Mansion Department!

Nowadays, trade with Japan is basically smuggling. Although Emperor Longqing opened a port at Yuegang and conducted maritime trade management, it is now in name only. Shen Tingyang, Zheng Zhilong, and the sea ships traveling to Japan for trade in Nanyang are all smuggling. If the Maritime Bureau is opened, it is equivalent to re-establishing the rules of the game and everything will be in the official position.

As for whether Zheng Zhilong will abide by this game rules, Zhu Cilang can use his toes to think about it and know it.

After the rules were formulated, the censor supervised and impeached those who violated the rules. Chen Tingyang was in Shandong. Zheng Zhilong was far away in southern Fujian. Chen Tingyang was a loyal minister of the court and Zheng Zhilong was the local emperor of the vassal state. It is self-evident who was more susceptible to restraint.

This rule is clearly aimed at Chen Tingyang.

"Call Wu Qingchen to ask Zheng Zhilong, if the Maritime Manufacturing Department is opened, how much customs taxes will be estimated every year." Zhu Cixuan called Lu Suyao and said: "Also, Zheng Sen's admission to Huangming Naval University will be sent directly to Chen Tingyang and asked him to do so."

Lu Suyao retreated, but she felt a little strange. She had access to many secrets in her position as a personal secretary and had some concepts about the overall view. In her opinion, Zheng Zhilong obviously had no good intentions. With the clerk's shrewdness, why did she still jump down?

Zheng Zhilong was also a little surprised after receiving the news. He thought that Jiang Dejing was deliberately avoiding him. It turned out that he had done the matter and ran to avoid suspicion! Needless to say, a huge thank-you fee of 5,000 taels was sent to Jiang Dejing's hometown in the name of a birthday gift. As for the tariff issue that the crown prince was concerned about, it was more difficult.

If I say less, the crown prince doesn't like it, so he would rather send Shandong navy to continue smuggling.

If you say too much, this is the country's share of money, which means you pay from your own pocket and you can't sell your relationship.

"Just pay one million taels." After discussing with his aides, Zheng Zhilong finally decided to take out one-fifth of the trade income. At that time, the annual silver income from trade with Japan could reach five million taels, while the crossing fees paid by merchant ships in the Western and Southern Oceans were not included.

Considering the influence of the route and monsoon, if the Maritime Warehouse Department is opened, Quanzhou will definitely become a transit port. Many small merchants can purchase goods in Nanyang, sell them in Quanzhou, and purchase other goods again. This can shorten the voyage and reduce risks. For Zheng Zhilong, the controller of Quanzhou, there are undoubtedly more suppliers and channel merchants, and the annual income will become more considerable.

This memorial was sent to the cabinet and first handed over to the Zhending Headquarters. Zhu Cilang just took a look and wrote a casual sentence: "The Fujian Province will raise five million taels of silver for national use first, and use the two-year tariff of the Maritime Bureau as collateral."

This time it was Zheng Zhilong's turn to be stunned. Who would have thought that the price of the crown prince opening the sea was to borrow money, and it was a loan without interest. If the customs duties of the Maritime Bureau could not reach 5 million taels in two years, wouldn't it be a big loss? What's even more depressed is that even though the crown prince asked for a price everywhere, he could not pay it back, otherwise it would be a naked self-interest rather than a public heart.

When Lu Suyao saw this cinnabar instruction, she was surprised and was not ashamed as Zheng Zhilong. She felt that the pressure was too great to deal with the facts in front of a talented person like the crown prince.

How did this wild idea come about?

...

On the fourth day of the eighth month of the 18th year of Chongzhen, Chen De completed the last batch of mule and horse adaptation training at Dengzhou Port, and unexpectedly announced that the army would set sail immediately. At the time of climbing, hundreds of boats competed and thousands of sails competed, and the entire Liaohai became lively.

The reason why it seemed hasty was that Chen De received a notice: the Special Investigation Battalion successfully sneaked into the Qing army's gunpowder warehouse on the second day of August and lit a fire.

If only gunpowder is gone, at best half of the Han military flag is abandoned. However, the gunpowder warehouse is adjacent to the granary, and the fire directly burned nearly a thousand stones of military rations.

"Bad news has to be delivered to the slave chief one after another, and maybe he will be angry to death." Chen De grinned, and even Chen Tingyang, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help laughing.

There is much worse news than the appearance of Ming army's reconnaissance cavalry in Liaodong.

As soon as Song Hongye left Beijing, the soul-returning man made trouble again, poisoned and set fires at will, and even learned to make landmines.

Dorgon ordered the infantry commander Aixing to investigate. Before the result was achieved, he received an emergency military report. The main force of the Ming army located in Zhending was known as a 300,000 army to attack Baoding Prefecture, and all the forts along the way fell and surrendered.

This was a fatal blow. Dorgon immediately broke out in the wind and fainted in the hall.

The scene was in chaos.

Shunzhi, who was only seven years old, sat on the dragon throne and watched his uncle fall to the ground nervously. His eyes were so scared that he stared at him and did not dare to speak. He could vaguely understand the military and national affairs, and he also knew that the current situation was somewhat difficult for the Qing Dynasty.

This can be seen from daily diet. When he first entered Beijing, Shunzhi had whatever he wanted. He could not understand why the Ming Dynasty was so rich, and he could not understand that the Manzi had such ingenuity in food. Now he could no longer have a small meal, so he could only eat with his mother, and the food was much rougher, just like when he was outside the pass.

Isn’t it a torture to have enjoyed those exquisite dishes and returned them?

The Empress Dowager, the Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace in Huang Taiji, was known for her later generations as Xiaozhuang. Bumubutai, who was no longer aware of her reputation as Xiaozhuang, was wandering around the palace without any idea. She heard all kinds of bad news from the outside court and was uneasy. She originally wanted to summon Dorgon to discuss it - in fact, she was looking for comfort. Who knew that the uncle, the Regent, fainted directly in the hall, and had no idea of ​​life and death, and even if she was not dead, she would have to take a good rest.

"Or what if it really doesn't work, let's go out of the custody as usual?" Bumubutai whispered to ask Su Moer for his opinion.

Su Moer is an idea to women, but in the harem, how can she know how complicated the problems Dorgon faces are? In her opinion, escape is a manifestation of cowardice, and a real warrior will not give up on fighting before the last moment comes.

"Master, we can't even leave now." Su Moer said: "After tasted the sweetness of the pass, once we go out of the pass and live a hard life, how many servants will rebel? They won't think that the masters will do their best to do their best, and will only talk about the good days they have.

"What should I do?" Bumubutai suddenly raised his voice: "Or why should I let the Regent borrow troops from Mongolia?"

Su Moer nodded slightly: "This is a good way."

"Then you go out of the palace and talk to the Regent. The Manchurian and Meng family is not the time to be polite now." Bumubutai said hurriedly.

Su Moer naturally went to Dorgon's mansion without any pressure.

Dorgon wrapped his head in a white brocade belt and leaned against the bed, his face was bloodless. His four wives stood by, serving soup and water, all of them looked frightened.

I heard that it was the person sent by the Empress Dowager, so Dorgon could only meet him. When he heard the suggestion of borrowing troops from Mongolia, he almost fainted again.

Bumubutai was a Mongolian and thought that Manchu and Mongolia were really a family. However, Dorgon knew that once the Qing court was exposed by the current situation of being strong and fighting among the people, the princes and princes might become hungry wolves in a blink of an eye and tear off a piece of meat from behind the Qing Dynasty. Even if there were really loyal Mongolians to help, where would they find food and grass to settle them? (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
