After a long fight, King Yu and Gao Gong realized that Qian Yuan, who caused the topic, didn't say a word, and he was having a lot of fun holding chopsticks.

After taking a sip of wine, Qian Yuan realized that he had calmed down and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness is right... Uncle Shi is right."

Now King Yu and Gao Gong were not satisfied, and Qiqi looked over with a calm expression.

"Now in the southeast, the Japanese invasion, Your Majesty ordered the ban on the sea and rashly proposed to lift the ban on the sea and allow trade. From Your Majesty to the cabinet, to the six ministries and six departments, the Censorate, and the Hanlin Academy, no one responded..." Qian Yuan said softly: "It's not that Mr. Gao is unwilling, but he just advises Your Highness to wait for the time being, and please forgive me."

"What's this?" King Yu quickly stood up and held Gao Gong who was about to bow down and apologize, "I know Master Gao is for my own good."

After reading this episode, Qian Yuan said: "Since Emperor Gaozu expelled the Tartars, restored the clothes and clothes of Han people, and established the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have appeared. During the Yongle period, Shizu set up Jinshanwei in Songjiang to prepare for Japanese. It was not until the 32nd year of Jiajing that Japanese pirates flocked to the city and siege, and wars were everywhere along the southeast coast, and the people were wailing. Can you tell why your Highness and Gao Daren?"

Although Gao Gong was proud, he also knew that when it came to the beginning of the Japanese riot in the southeast, he was far inferior to Qian Yuan who was involved in it. He bowed and said seriously: "I would like to listen to the great discussion of showing off my talents."

"Three reasons. One is that since the tenth year of Jiajing, all kinds of sea trade in the West and the East have gradually become more prosperous, and the scale is far better than that of the Zhengde period. In the Japanese turmoil, there were not only Japanese people, but also many Westerners. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Folangji bribed officials with silver money to occupy a large area in Haojing, Guangzhou."

Qian Yuan first talked about the world that was happening around the world in this era, and described the book "The Travels of Marco Polo" that he had never read himself, depicting those Western merchants who flocked to gold, porcelain, tea, and silk.

From a later perspective, the root cause of the Japanese turmoil in the southeast was the collision between the gradually taking shape between East-West trade exchanges and the ignorance of the Ming government. After a small group of Japanese pirates invaded the coastal areas, the mainstream view of the Ming Dynasty was always the ban on the sea.

Gao Gong was very focused on listening, "So, a large number of merchants appeared on the coast, which was the starting point for the Japanese riots."

This matter cannot be said too carefully, and there is no need for this. After all, the times are different and the three views are different. People can't understand it even if they say it out loud. Qian Yuan could only nod.

"The Japanese pirates have repeatedly caused chaos in the country, but there has never been any major chaos. I have looked through and checked the local chronicles of various places over the years. Only Songjiang and Jiaxing have Japanese riots every few decades, but the scale is also very small."

"So, the second is because of people." Qian Yuan raised his second finger, "Wang Zhi crossed the sea, known as the owner of the Five Peaks, occupied a large area of ​​territory in Japan. All of them were dressed in Han people and called themselves King Hui, but Wang Zhi was not the key, the key was Xu Hai."

"I have heard of this Xu Hai." King Yu frowned and said, "There are two major Japanese riots in recent years, and the leaders of the Japanese pirates are Xu Hai."

"This person is like Wang Zhi, and is also from Huizhou." Qian Yuan said in detail: "When he was a young man, he worked as a monk at Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, and later he was taken to the sea by his uncle. This person is really extraordinary."

Qian Yuan glanced at Gao Gong and sighed: "Born to be a talent."

"Born with a talent?" Gao Gong was a little surprised, "The main reason is that the soldiers in the Southeast Guard are unusable, right?"

"That's definitely not the case." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Where the Japanese riots in the southeast are everywhere, the guards are unusable, and they will be defeated when they encounter the enemy. However, after that, the imperial court set up a governor of Zhejiang and mobilized troops from six provinces, including strong soldiers who can fight, but they are still not as good as the Japanese pirates under Xu Hai."

"In fact, the so-called Japanese pirates are scattered. Maybe they can all be divided into seven or eight branches among a thousand Japanese pirates. However, three years ago, Xu Hai defeated Yu Dayou and used this to integrate the Japanese pirates at sea. The Japanese pirates under his command once exceeded 30,000."

Gao Gong and King Yu were silent for a while, and the former sighed: "It is popular because of one person, and it is not uncommon in history books."

King Yu knew that Qian Yuan did not agree with opening a ban on trade in the sea now. In fact, he himself knew it was not realistic. He just expressed his attitude in front of his two confidants. "What is the last reason for Zhan Cai?"

Qian Yuan licked his dry lips, picked up the wine cup and paused in the air, and said calmly: "Of course it's because of Wang Minying."

Seeing Qian Yuan sipped it all, Gao Gong, who had discussed this topic together, explained softly: "In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Wang Minying ordered Lu Tong and Tang Kekuan to attack Ligang, Zhoushan. Ligang was destroyed, Wang Zhi rushed westward, and a large number of merchants became pirates and Japanese pirates. Since then, the Japanese turmoil in the southeast officially began."

Seeing that King Yu hadn't understood, Gao Gong lowered his voice and explained it carefully for a while. King Yu slapped the table and cursed several times.

"Zhan Cai was also in Hangzhou that day. He had a good relationship with Wang Minying's eldest son Wang Shizhen and had advised each other privately, but Wang Minying insisted on his own, and the consequences were basically the same as Zhan Cai expected."

After drinking four or five glasses of wine in a row, Qian Yuan shook his head and tried to stay awake, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, no matter in the court, you need to wait and move."

Gao Gong looked at the smiling young man with complicated eyes. Although he asked for leave to go south in the name of visiting his widow's mother, he knew very well that Qian Yuan would not return to Beijing in the short term.

It took almost an hour and a half to eat this meal. The soup in the pot had been dried and the charcoal had been extinguished. The three of them only picked a few plates of cold dishes to eat.

In terms of qualifications, King Yu is much worse than Emperor Jiajing, but he also has his own advantages and self-knowledge, so he never stings with asking others for advice, but his disadvantages are also very obvious. He is not very skilled in checking and balancing power, and he is very frightened.

When he received the look from Qian Yuan's hand, Gao Gong coughed twice, "Zhan Cai left Beijing tomorrow, and it happened that the princess was pregnant. His Highness held a banquet to see Zhan Cai off. I wonder what else to explain?"

King Yu was stunned for a moment, shook his head blankly before he woke up, looked at Qian Yuan and smiled, "Zhancai, just say something... You are the lonely lucky star."

Qian Yuan left the seat and said seriously: "Your Highness, the matter of opening a ban on trade in the sea will not be feasible in the short term, but this matter needs to be prepared as soon as possible."

King Yu was interested, "Zhancai, what do you mean?"

"It is said that the Ministry of Revenue in the Central Government of the North Korean Ministry of Revenue can starve rats to death. In the future, His Highness will be the one who needs money the most...at that time, Qian Yuan emphasized.

King Yu reacted very quickly and nodded repeatedly. Those who were not mentally damaged knew that Emperor Jiajing had practiced Taoism until the end... It was definitely not that he flew into the sky with his hands, but that he should have been buried in the grave.

It is only a simple ceremony for ordinary people to die and buried in the grave. The officials and families must raise the key points, but they cannot spend too much silver. It is just that the ceremony is relatively complicated, but the emperor is different... It is considered a waste of money to spend a million taels of silver!

Therefore, the first thing King Yu had to do ascend the throne was to build a warehouse in the Ministry of Revenue to see how much money it had.

Qian Yuan glanced at Gao Gong and added: "And now, Your Highness Qianlong, and recruiting knowledgeable people also requires money... Not everyone has the noble character like Gao Gong."

King Yu nodded again, not knowing whether he agreed with Qian Yuan’s words or thanked Qian Yuan for his hat... It’s not that he couldn’t stand the silver in his eyes, there was nothing he could do!

Facing Gao Gong's suspicious eyes and King Yu's eager expectations, Qian Yuan bowed and said, "This time I go south, I will settle in Taizhou. If the Japanese suppression is successful, I want to form a fleet to sail to the sea. I hope your highness will allow it."

King Yu stood up and walked a few steps back and forth, with his original intention of responding, but he was afraid.

"This matter was mentioned in Xiyuan a few months ago, and Your Majesty didn't say anything." Qian Yuan peeked into King Yu's face and added: "When your highness is in charge of the position of the great treasure, the fleet will naturally have to hand over... Then it will be the Royal fleet."

King Yu's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Gao Gong. The latter thought about it and looked at Qian Yuan deeply. This guy has put a lot of effort into this, so he probably has this idea for a long time.

Gao Gong knew about the Maritime Bureau. The mainstream opinions of the Chinese officials in the Korean Republic were banned from the sea, on the one hand, the Japanese riots in the southeast, and on the other hand, the Maritime Bureau belonged to the sphere of influence of the eunuchs.

With a fleet directly under the royal family, the Maritime Bureau may be converted into a formal government office in the outer court, and the jurisdiction of civil servants is under the jurisdiction of Qian Yuan.

After pondering for a long time, Gao Gong nodded slightly to King Yu, "Zhancai asked this matter to be done, but he could not make any statement. Even other lecturers in the palace were the best..."

King Yu smiled and nodded, "Zhancai, this time I went south to show my grand plans, and I am waiting for you to come back!"

Qian Yuan smiled and bowed, and he was very confident today because only King Yu needed to persuade him, and Gao Gong would not object.
