Chapter 2299 One step at a time

"You know, Jiangnan is the fiefdom of King Qi. I don't have any objections to King Qi himself, but Shangshu Qi may not be a good person. I'm afraid he is a bit greedy for power. If he can control someone like Shangshu Qi, it's not a big deal. After all And we check and balance him, but if he becomes the King of Qi in the future, Jiangnan will really become the old den of the Qi family, and with the opening of the sea, there will be thieves and bandits. Once these people take shape, the seaside But it will be messed up." Ye Muyu directly suggested to Chu Heng that the Japanese pirates were notoriously serious in history.

   If it is not well managed, no matter how prosperous Da Chu is, it will not be able to withstand decay.

  Chu Heng tapped on the table with his finger. This is not the first time Ye Muyu told him about this.

  Chu Heng didn't doubt that before his death in his previous life, Da Chu's financial resources were beginning to grow, which was brought by Kaihai.

   It's just that this kind of thing is not easily settled.

  Chu Heng thought of the separate yamen that Emperor Xuanming should have thought about.

   But there is no rush.

   Need to walk slowly step by step.

   Now that the imperial court promotes pinyin, it has already taken a piece of cake from those aristocratic families.

   If he advances aggressively now, no matter how powerful Da Chu is, he will not be able to withstand such a toss.

   But opening up the sea to do business can let everyone see the benefits in it.

   After all, no matter how powerful the Qi family is, with competitors, it is impossible to hold all the markets in Jiangnan in their own hands.

   Only when more people engage in this business can ordinary people make profits and Dachu will be stable.

  Chu Heng thought about it, patted the back of Ye Muyu's hand, comforted her, and told her not to worry.

  After hearing this, Ye Muyu calmed down and didn't worry about anything at all.

  Da Chu seems to be very stable at present, as long as Qi Shangshu and several rebellious courtiers are dealt with.

   Taking advantage of the stability now, Ye Muyu doesn't think so much.

   After all, the most dangerous time has not yet come.

   It is always the most turbulent when fighting for positions.

   Besides, Chu Heng had plans in mind, she still believed in him.

   "Well, you have provided me with an inspiration. It seems that in the next book, I will be able to write about maritime trade." Ye Muyu touched his chin and said.

   "But the upsurge of the fastest ships coming back should be in April and May next year. At that time, you should pay more attention to the formulation of customs laws, otherwise there will be all kinds of smuggling, but it will be unstable."

   "Well, I understand." Chu Heng actually has a lot of investigations on the situation of the sea ships that came back after sailing. Presumably Zhang Zhi will explain this situation to Emperor Xuanming this time.

  As for Qi Shangshu...Chu Heng is ready to respond to all changes with the same.

   Early the next morning.

   Zhang Zhi entered the palace.

  Emperor Xuanming gave him a seat.

  Zhang Zhi naturally didn't dare to sit down, and just waited honestly for Emperor Xuanming to read the excerpts.

  On the brochure, he clearly explained what he encountered during his trip to Jiangnan, as well as some of the investigations.

   Above, the most eye-catching thing is the few small families that rose up with the return of the sea ship.

   are all tea merchants and cloth merchants.

   Of course, the above will not fall behind. There is evidence of close contacts between officials and these merchants.

  Emperor Xuanming finished reading, his eyes darkened.

   "How did Zhang Aiqing get injured?" Emperor Xuanming put down the notebook and asked.

With a pale face, Zhang Zhi stood up and saluted, with a sudden voice: "I was injured by a crazy horse when I went out to inquire about the people's livelihood. hurt."
