Seeing that there was basically nothing wrong in the court, Zhu Yunyou was also satisfied and felt more at ease. Half of this year has passed, although it cannot be said that everything has been solved, or there is no focus on work.

But for Zhu Yunyou, he can indeed start to consider some reforms now.

Zhu Yunyou, sitting on the dragon throne, spoke slowly and stopped ambushing. "I think my dear friends know a little about everything in the Maritime Warehouse."

Of course, many people know that even if they did not intervene in person and handle some of the affairs of the Maritime Service, they have more or less heard of it. What's more, the huge cake of the Maritime Service is a hot topic.

From the initial profit, as the scale of maritime trade became larger and the severe crackdown on private smuggling, etc., the output of Maritime Trade Corporation naturally increased. Naturally, many people are increasingly concerned about this huge cake.

Yu Xin from the Ministry of Revenue was immediately excited. He always wanted to fully include the Maritime Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhu Yunyou also said proudly at this time, "At the beginning, the output of the Maritime Warrior was limited. Although the Supreme Emperor did not completely ban the sea, the Maritime Warrior had indeed limited contact with the countries of the South China Sea."

This is also a fact. If Zhu Yunyeo had not been making trouble at the beginning, Lao Zhu would have a "sea ban" policy. This does not mean that he is not allowed to go to sea at all, but that there are many restrictions on going to sea, and large-scale commercial trade is even harder to say. In many cases, it is also a series of smuggling in some coastal areas, etc.

At this time, I was smarter and quickly stood up and flattered me. Although the foundation of the Maritime Warehouse was created by Lao Zhu, even when Zhu Yunyou stung the Maritime Warehouse, Lao Zhu and Da Zhu gave a lot of resources.

But now the person sitting on the dragon throne is the Emperor Ying Shi. The Maritime Bureau's output is increasing, so naturally it is thanks to Zhu Yunyou. Only in this way can the wisdom and wisdom of the Emperor Ying Shi, and it is his far-sighted vision that has given the Ming Dynasty a source of wealth and an increasingly profitable source of wealth.

Zhu Yunyou continued at this time, "Tea, porcelain, and silk are mostly produced by the Ming Dynasty. Some iron tools are also very popular overseas. But I also know that there are still illegal vendors smuggling among the people. The court will naturally crack down on these people."

Many officials are worried, probably because some people may have some connections and involvement with the aristocratic families in those places. Or to put it simply, the protective umbrella behind those aristocratic families may be these officials.

The court originally had a big blow to these people, but now with further severe crackdowns, the production space of those people will become smaller and smaller. For those people, this is obviously not a favorable thing.

At this moment, someone really stood up, and theories were naturally "competing for profit with the people".

In the eyes of these civil officials, the court should not care about these things. If the court intervenes in some commercial activities, it is to compete with the people for profit. For these people, it is appropriate to make money by aristocratic families or merchants make money. Anyway, if the court manages those things, it is not a good thing.

Zhu Yunyou sternly scolded him, "Fight for profit with the people? Then my dear, come and tell me, who is the one who gets this profit?"

The censor stood up and said very seriously, "Speak to Your Majesty, and the heavens will also share the gifts. Those who give their teeth remove their horns and those who give their wings and feet. This is the big one who receives the big ones, and those who receive the big ones cannot get the small ones. In ancient times, those who receive the big ones cannot get the small ones, and they agree with the heavens."

This is what Dong Zhongshu told Emperor Wu of Han that roughly means that God grants all things differently. However, in essence, it means that since ancient times, those who enjoy salaries cannot take out the share of people, cannot engage in industry and commerce, and those who get big can no longer take small ones, which is the same as God's will.

However, under some misinterpretation, they do not know that those who eat their salary are not allowed to compete for profit with the people. What they see is that competing for profit with the people is just the court, and they just don't want to see the court take away some of the profit margins.

As for what to say, "not competing for profit with the people", it is not enough to control the officials like them. This famous saying is in charge of the court. Moreover, in the eyes of these people, aristocratic families or merchants are the people, and others are not worthy of it at all.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "You have read a lot of books, and you have read these Four Books and Five Classics more deeply. In my opinion, the Supreme Emperor was dissatisfied with the Assassin at the time. This should be true. It was not that there was a problem with the Assassin's teachings, but that you unfilial descendants distorted the words of the saint!"

Zhu Yunyou didn't care about these dissatisfactions, but just said calmly, "In my opinion, it's time to sort out the classics. You people, you don't understand the education of saints, how to govern the world!"

No matter how much these things were concerned, Zhu Yunyou just looked at these civil and military officials calmly. Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the scholars of all dynasties had long distorted the remarks of many saints. For these people, they didn't care about those things at all. They said they followed the remarks of the saints, but they did another trick.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "The Maritime Bureau should be controlled by the court. Aristocratic families, merchants, and these people are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Remember, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and powerful, and those people are only rich and well-off. You will also remember it for me. You are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and then the descendants of some people. Don't forget your duty."

Zhu Yunyou continued, "For things like maritime trade, there should be regulations. Those merchants and others just see their own selfishness and just want to make money by themselves. The court should take overall charge of the overall situation and set the number and types of goods entering and leaving, and set the price."

It’s not that Zhu Yunyou is so domineering, it’s just that he wants to maximize his interests. It’s that simple.

Tea, silk or ironware of the Ming Dynasty was extremely popular and sought after overseas, and the prices were naturally high. If the court did not have too many restrictions, many people would flock to this field.

These people also know that once some not-so-precious things are shipped overseas, they will be dozens of times the profit. They don’t care about hunger marketing, nor do they know about price protection. They just see the profits and can even make a price war.

If others lose money or the court fails to make money, they don’t care.

Zhu Yunyou cares about these things. He doesn't want the good things from the Ming Dynasty to be sold at a cheap price. The higher the price, the better, and the more popular it is. Anyway, the quality of the Ming Dynasty's products is good and lack of market competitors, so he can naturally do a unique business.

Zhu Yunyou really doesn't care about being a profitable businessman or a profiteer, and he doesn't need to care about such details at all. All he needs is to maximize his interests, so that the court can better control some things.

"I said before that the goods in and out of the Maritime Warehouse Department are all supplied by merchants and sold in a dispersed manner." Zhu Yunyou said calmly, just saying, "Don't talk about competing for profit with the people. If the court really competes for profit with the people, these things will not be allowed to be done by merchants. Don't be too greedy, that's not a good thing!"

Regardless of whether the civil and military officials below were dissatisfied with each other, Zhu Yunyou would not compromise on some matters, and he would not be changed by some people in a few words.

After all, what Zhu Yunyou demands is to maximize benefits, not that some benefits are obtained by a very small number of people, which is obviously something that Zhu Yunyou cannot tolerate.

Xu Huizu also stood up at this time and said, "What Your Majesty said is that although the sea trade benefits a lot, it is very dangerous. The sea storms are extremely strong, and large ships often overturn. Moreover, there are still pirates and Japanese pirates attacking them. If the court cannot send a navy, money will still be uneasy."

This made some people want to complain. Xu Huizu obviously just held the emperor. Of course, other people's business is risky, but they are not unable to continue without the escort of the navy.

Zhu Yunxiu didn't care about that, but said, "I think you are also unconscienced! The Maritime Bureau is the treasury and the royal family's property. You said that the royal family was treated too well. If the Maritime Bureau is taken away again, how can the royal family handle itself? Do you want Your Majesty to take the title of treating the royal family?"

This is another nonsense. These people say that the emperor competes with the people for profit, while Zhu Yunyu says that these people want to make the emperor bear stigma.

In fact, there was no big problem with Zhu Yunxiu doing this. Taking good care of the royal family was also something an emperor should do. The treatment of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty decreased a lot compared to before, and many civil officials thought it was a victory.

After all, during the reign of Emperor Taishang, the royal family treated the royal family better than ever before. Their "struggle" won a victory, which was a victory over the royal family and also made the imperial power retreat.

But if you clamor to steal the Maritime Affairs Office at this time, do you really think the royal family has no power?

What's more, there are still many martial honors in the Maritime War Department, but Wuxun looks down on civil officials. If you really want to make trouble, Wuxun Group will definitely resist with all its might.

When that time comes, many civil officials will probably be injured. When that time comes, fierce conflicts in the court will inevitably occur.

In fact, the civil officials did not speak, and some civil officials did not have much opposition. What's more, many people think that the situation of the Maritime Bureau is still clear.

This is not only the industry of the royal family, nor is it just the interest territory of the military honors, but also has a large part of the imperial court. At most, it means that merchants or aristocratic families have squeezed out, and those people have not made the most profits.

Let's just forget about it, because these people have no power to deal with the behemoths.

Since the strength of the civil service group is not enough now, don’t have some messy thoughts and do things steadily. This is what they should do.
