It was too simple to think. Qian Yuan did think so. He did not expect that the Ming Dynasty had never had a formal official maritime trade channel until now. No wonder smuggling was so vigorous and Japanese pirates were so rampant.

"Yes, I think too simple. Now the court lacks silver, and the southeast, and I also lacks silver..." Emperor Jiajing smiled bitterly: "Even if the sea ban is opened and the Maritime Trade Department is reset... Your Qian Zhan may have a future that will be destroyed, and it will be a point for thousands of people."

Emperor Jiajing turned around and pointed at Huang Jin, "On the other hand, maybe Huang's companion will say your little words in front of me, and if it is done, they will stab you villain."

Huang Jin shook his hand in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I don't dare."

"Even if you don't dare, Feng... Feng Bao must have dared it."

Huang Jin laughed and didn't say anything. Although Qian Yuan knew it, he blinked in confusion.

Seeing Emperor Jiajing wink, Huang Jin explained a few words in embarrassment, which was quite similar to Qian Yuan’s guess.

The Maritime Bureau was established in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the full-time eunuch at that time. Later, it was under the Transport Bureau in the Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty restored the old system and was always in the hands of eunuchs.

Since the Chenghua period, tax revenue has gradually shrunk, and the Ming Dynasty's finances have gradually been unable to support it. Under such circumstances, the civil servants have never had the idea of ​​the Maritime Bureau.

During the Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, the relationship between civil servants and eunuchs was complicated, either using, accepting, or tit-for-tat, but the Maritime Bureau has always firmly controlled the eunuchs.

Until Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, this gentleman was suspicious, skilled, and extremely smart. The power of the official power retreated sharply. In the second year of Jiajing, in Ningbo's battle for tribute, the eunuch of the Maritime Conservatory, Lai En was improper in handling the matter, and Xia Yan wrote a letter to propose to stop the Maritime Conservatory.

So in addition to objective factors such as the ancestral system, the biggest problem is, who controls the Maritime Bureau?

Once the maritime ban is opened and trade is allowed, passenger ships will surely gather, and the maritime trade will be prosperous. If the Maritime Bureau is still controlled by eunuchs, the Chinese officials in the court will not do it... At least Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong will not do it.

If Qian Yuan proposed to re-establish the Maritime Bureau before His Majesty, there is no doubt that his reputation in the civil service system will be inaudible, and it would be considered a cheaper person to be a villain.

But if the Maritime Department is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and not to mention that Emperor Jiajing is dissatisfied, the eunuch system will regard Qian Yuan as a thorn in his eyes... Even more miserable, civil servants are magnanimous, and eunuchs have never heard of those who are too scheming.

Even Huang Jin, who was in charge of the seal eunuch and in charge of the East Factory, would not have any good face. Although he was favored by Emperor Jiajing, he was not without rivals.

Therefore, opening up the maritime ban and trading cannot be decided simply.

"Do you understand now?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Qian Yuan who was tilted and frowned with interest, "I'm still young, patted my head and thought about it one after another, and you will suffer in the future."

Qian Yuan nodded with a pout, "It's just that the student thought it was simple. This matter... I dare not let Eunuch Huang say something, nor dare to be knocked on me when I walk at night in the future."

Huang Jin glared at him with a angrily smile and said, "Actually they are all empty. Now that the Japanese turmoil continues, the reset of the Maritime Bureau is just a water moon in the mirror."

"This is true. Except for the Japanese pirates, no merchant dares to go out to sea." Qian Yuan shrugged indifferently and suddenly smiled: "In fact, it can be done after the Japanese turmoil is quelled."

"The Maritime Department belongs to the Ministry of Revenue, and also set up a fleet to allow Eunuch Huang to lead the team to sail at sea to do business. Anyway, there are many people everywhere in Huangdian North Zhili, and there is absolutely no shortage of manpower. One trip will make ten times the profit, which is much better than collecting that little tax."

Huang Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I'm still going to the sea at this age... I'm not afraid of this old bone dying outside. So, I really want to say your little words in front of the emperor."

"Hey, Eunuch Huang doesn't have a godson, a godson?" Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Tsk tsk, but it must be escorted by military ships, otherwise if they are robbed by pirates... the eunuch of Sanbao was almost robbed back then."

Emperor Jiajing looked at him with a smile on the couch. Although he thought about it, at least he had this kind of heart, which was more pleasing to those in the court who were deeper in mind and only cared about the party to make money.

It’s a pity that Qian Yuan started his business by making money in the southeast. Although he is well-known for his military achievements, the more familiar civil and military officials have deep thoughts on him.

Qian Yuan and Huang Jin, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and Emperor Jiajing thought about it in his mind. Qian Yuan’s idea was not a bad idea. The Maritime Bureau gave the Ministry of Revenue and the Royal Family to build a fleet to do business.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiajing laughed out loud, and couldn't tell that this guy is still a good friend, tsk, he is a material for being a Grand Secretary.

It is no exaggeration to say that in most of the time, the most important task of a cabinet grandson is to be mixed with the grandson. A grandson who cannot be mixed with the grandson is not a good cabinet master.

Well, this is also the main reason why Yan Song was despised by a large number of civil servants. This guy never mingled with him and only knew that he would like to please Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing's thoughts were getting farther and farther away. Although he didn't want to admit it, there was no progress in practicing Taoism and alchemy in recent years. He always had to consider leaving some useful things for those who were later.

However, if you are not a Hanlin, you must not enter the cabinet. At least you must be a Shuji scholar. The new Jinshi was selected as a Shuji scholar. After three years of study, the museum was disbanded. Even if you did not stay in the museum and entered the Hanlin Academy, you were considered a Hanlin Academy because you studied in the Hanlin Academy.

In the palace examination every three years, Emperor Jiajing selected the top three in Zhubi. He could not say that he had many achievements in the Shiwen, but his vision was not low. In his opinion, Qian Yuan... the first-class Jinshi was probably hopeless, and the second-class Jinshi was difficult, and Shujishi... also had very little hope.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing was in a daze, Qian Yuan winked at Huang Jin... Should I leave?

Huang Jin nodded slightly and walked over lightly.

At this moment, suddenly, the sky and the earth shook. Qian Yuan seemed to be stepping on a ball, and moved a few unsteadily with his center of gravity. He staggered to hold the table beside him, and a creaking sound came from his ears.

Qian Yuan turned his head to look, and the bed rubbed against the ground made a noise. Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on it, shaking his body. Huang Jin stopped, his eyes full of horror.

Before he could think about more, Qian Yuan rushed up and picked up the still dazed Emperor Jiajing, and ran away from the hall.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty!"

Huang Jin also reacted and shouted loudly to follow behind.

The guards and eunuchs guarding outside the hall also felt the sky and earth shaking. While he was wondering, a figure suddenly rushed out. Everyone looked at him. The man was wearing a Taoist robe on his back.

Fortunately, the West Garden is big enough and there are not many buildings. Qian Yuan ran out of the dangerous area where the Wanshou Hall might collapse and stopped, carefully supporting Emperor Jiajing, "Your Majesty, it may be the earth dragon turning over."

"Bang!" Emperor Jiajing kicked him, "What a panic!"

The guards and eunuchs all surrounded him. Huang Jin, who was panting, scolded and rushed over, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

"Of course it's okay." Emperor Jiajing glared at Qian Yuan, who was embarrassed, "If you fall on the road, you don't have enough eight heads to cut!"

Qian Yuan laughed dryly and looked at the palaces not far away with caution, "Your Majesty, it's better to be careful. The son of a thousand gold medal cannot sit in the hall, let alone the Majesty is the lord of the world."

Qian Yuan, who participated in earthquake prevention exercises many times in his previous life, immediately determined that it should be an earthquake, but it should not be near Beijing, so there is no danger.

But Qian Yuan immediately discovered that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to make himself more important and at least heavier.

After a panic, Huang Jin summed up the news and reported, "I don't know where the dragon turned over. It should be quite far away. Everyone felt shaking, but no houses collapsed or casualties. The Ministry of War has urgently sent people to investigate everywhere."

Emperor Jiajing, sitting on the stone bench in the garden, nodded, feeling irritated again, "I really have to get some money." The turn of the earth dragon means that a large amount of money and grain will be spent later, and the treasury will probably starve the rats to death!"

Looking up, he saw Qian Yuan still beside him. The corner of Emperor Jiajing's mouth curled up. Although he was reckless, he was sure of loyalty to the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing thought about it and found that he would be able to try it in two months. Now he may not be willing to reward Qian Yuan.
