Chapter 469 East China Sea Governor’s Mansion

Zheng Xianzhi entered the Liangyi Hall and saw that only one official, Xie Hui, was there, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

From the perspective of the northern and southern families, Xie Hui is the enemy of the northern family.

But in front of the emperor, the northern and southern aristocratic families are now very united, and they have to join the group for warmth in any difficulties.

Otherwise, they will be swallowed up by the emperor or the military sooner or later!

With Xie Hui's "platform", Zheng Xianzhi also said what he had to say directly. After detouring a few sentences about official customs, he began to extend the topic to the East China Sea.

"This is purely a coincidence."

Anyway, Liu Yi really doesn’t know how to sell himself.

If it were discovered that it was all a show directed and performed by oneself, God knows whether these aristocratic families would feel that their intelligence had been insulted, which would have the opposite effect.

"I originally planned to develop maritime transportation, but who would have thought that General Yanzhi actually bumped into the Japanese and discovered the silver mines on their land."

"Understand, understand."

Zheng Xianzhi doesn't care where the information comes from.

He didn't even care whether the Japanese country really had silver mines or whether the East China Sea was really rich in materials.

He came just to confirm the emperor's movements.

Confirm whether the emperor is really willing to invest resources in the east!

"I have already planned to send Mr. Xie to the East China Sea."

Shocking!

Really earth-shattering news!

Zheng Xian was shocked by this news!

Who is Xie Hui?

That was an important minister who was tied to two generations of emperors, Liu Yu and Liu Yizhen!

Such a person was actually sent to the East China Sea by the emperor?

Zheng Xianzhi's heart, which was still hot just now, suddenly cooled down.

From this point of view, the emperor's concern for the East China Sea is no longer as simple as "concern".

At least, an ordinary amount of money and fishery would not make the emperor so aggressive.

Could it be that the wealth in the east... is even more exaggerated than what is recorded in the book "Journey to the East"?

Zheng Xianzhi's expression was a little uncertain, and he began to wonder how they should face this matter.

Xie Hui looked at Zheng Xianzhi's confused expression and knew that the emperor's cake was too big, which made him choke a little, so he quickly helped him calm down:

"The emperor mainly wants me to promote shipping."

"This shipping incident was quite successful, but there are still many problems that need to be solved if we want to keep the east coast shipping smooth for a long time."

Xie Hui used the "shipping" issue to cover up some of the cakes Liu Yizhen painted, which made Zheng Xianzhi feel better.

Otherwise, this feeling of being several steps ahead of the emperor would be difficult to give the ministers a sense of security!

If the ministers become powerful, the emperor will panic.

Same reason.

If the emperor is too strong, his officials will be worried.

Lord and minister, monarch and minister, this is a relationship, and relationships need to be managed.

After Zheng Xianzhi got what he wanted, he didn't stay too long and hurried out of the palace to share the matter with his think tanks and allies.

"It seems that the next person to be promoted by these aristocratic families is Zheng Xianzhi."

The Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun have now gradually gained control over the aristocratic families in the world.

Some of them were deliberately forced by Liu Yizhen and the military, and some of them were voluntarily given up by the two families.

Just like other new forces that are reshuffling their cards, the Aristocratic Family is also re-selecting new spokespersons who can unite them and seek greater interests.

Wang Xie's current status is too transcendent. The southern family has become a marginal person in the court. The northern family has always been ambiguous because of its relationship with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Liu Yizhen is still on guard against them. In this case, they will Zheng Xianzhi

It's no accident to push it up.

"Zheng Xianzhi..."

Knowing the family's cards, Liu Yizhen just had to sit tight on Diaoyutai.

"Release the news about the East China Sea Governor's Mansion and let them create chaos on their own."

Still the same sentence.

Nothing can be done by Liu Yizhen with just one word.

He only needs to control the general direction, take the big picture, and leave other specific things to other people to divide.

Donghai Dudu Mansion!

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is completely different from the Nanhai Dudu Mansion.

The Nanhai Dudu Mansion was just an institution set up for management because it was too far away from the Central Plains.

In nature, it is the same as the Western Region Protectorate during the Han Dynasty.

But the East China Sea is different.

Obviously, it is impossible for the emperor and the imperial court to hand over the land to the East China Sea Dudufu for management. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to set up a vassal state in Gu Qi?

The East China Sea Dudu Mansion is clearly a tool used by the emperor to make money!

Since ancient times, white gloves worn by emperors in order to make money are rarely seen, so it is common for everyone.

But the East China Sea Dudu Mansion is different.

This thing is obviously not going to the fields to grab food from the people (landowners).

Its goal is the sea from beginning to end.

Not to mention anything else, even if there were no silver mines in Japan, the tax revenue from shipping and the fishery products from the ocean would be a huge wealth!

Some people who were still doubtful finally became firm.

The silver mine is invisible to everyone.

But sea transportation, because of the historical issue that Liu Song made his fortune in the south, will inevitably be opened and implemented.

Now that the emperor has thrown Xie Hui into the East China Sea, isn't this attitude clear enough?

As a result, these upper-level "big shots" began to fight invisible to the naked eye.

Unlike the various calculations at the top, the thinking of the people at the bottom is much simpler.

Originally, shipping and "Journey to the East" were just new things.

Now that the emperor and the imperial court are coming to an end, what better deal is there than going to the East?

Many people who saw no hope in their hometowns packed their bags and headed east.

Among them was the scholar who eavesdropped in the wine shop before.

He arrived at his original residence and began to pack his bags without saying a word.

"Heh, another one."

The people who live here are almost the same as him.

Because they have some knowledge, even if their lives are very bad now, they still don't want to go back to their hometown and become a joke in the eyes of their friends and relatives.

For this reason, if someone leaves, they will be more or less sarcastic, as if this will make their persistence more noble.

In fact, they may all have understood that they are just persisting for the sake of persistence...

But even so, they still have to try to see if they can stick to an end point with or without a full stop.

"Everyone."

The scholars bowed their hands to them and said goodbye.

"I'm going east."

"Although Luoyang is good, it is not my Luoyang."

"You may call me a coward or a traitor. I can't stay in Luoyang any longer."

"There is a long way to go. If I can meet you again one day in the future, I hope you can live up to your time and realize your dream of Chang'an."

"Everyone, take care!"
