Fang Zhengyi pondered for a moment and said, "The King of Wu cannot be killed. Only when he runs away will Dajing have the opportunity to trade with the outside world."

"But hasn't our Dajing already had a trade with overseas? What does this have to do with the King of Wu?" Xie Xian said curiously.

Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Those so-called business transactions are just small-scale quarrels and they are not a good deal!"

"This world is very big, and there are still many unexplored places. There are many magical crops such as sweet potatoes overseas. Not only that, there are countless treasures in the mountains of gold and silver mountains!"

Although Dajing clearly did not implement sea bans, it was actually not much different from sea bans.

If ordinary people want to go into business, they must first submit an application to the government. As for how many processes, how much time they take, how much exploitation they are, how much they are, they are simply unthinkable.

Regulations are always just regulations. Although they are on the surface, they are often another matter when implemented.

On the other hand, the Dajing court also had trade overseas, but basically it was concentrated in overseas vassal states and belonged to tribute trade.

There is nothing to say about this, because Hui Ci is the main one, and he has suffered losses for years!

People go to sea and encounter pirates, and the court needs to spend more money on coastal defense. The official fleet goes to sea but has no profit.

As for the great scenery, the land is vast and the resources are abundant, there is no reason to venture out to the sea!

This is the curse of resources. People who can make money while lying down and have a wealth of wealth often have no motivation to seek change again

Therefore, the court went from bottom to top, and there was no reason to spend a huge amount of finance to explore unknown places.

Hatred is an excellent driving force. Now that the King of Wu has fled, it doesn’t matter whether he successfully fled overseas or died halfway.

Fang Zheng thought in his heart that as long as he went back and added fuel to the fire, he would be sure to persuade the court.

However, he has not done his best before. He is still a little concerned about the sea trade, which is related to the future trend.

It was mentioned twice occasionally in the memorial, but was successfully ignored by Emperor Jing.

But this time it was different. The unexpected trip to the King of Wu brought him a lot of shock from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, I just wanted to try my best to bring my people to live a better life, but when the King of Wu's ship began to appear.

Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt the wheel of history rolling towards his face!

As a time traveler, personal struggle is important, but you must also care about the course of history!

What's more, resources are not the most important thing. What's important is to see the world and gain the opportunity!

Fang Zheng has no doubt that Dajing's land has severely lacked the soil for the birth of science, and the tragedy in previous history books may not be unexpectedly reproduced in thousands of years.

It’s not that Dajing is not smart enough, but that the ruling class is too smart and the political system is extremely precocious!

Under the rule of imperial power, whether the people suffer or not is actually second-hand. What is more important is long-term stability and stability and consolidate imperial power.

This is a chronic disease that all emperors in all dynasties cannot avoid. New technologies will bring about drastic changes in the social structure. In order to prevent this fluctuation, they even personally eliminated science and closed the country.

A typical example is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In the interpretation of the TV series, the Qing emperors always gave people a state of mental retardation that closed their eyes and despised the West.

But it is not the case! Emperor Kangxi himself studied astronomy and mathematics, and was able to use a hand-crank computer to perform square formula calculations. He personally participated in the river management project and taught officials how to calculate the water flow in the river channel.

In addition, Kangxi also personally dabbled in modern medicine, dissected animals, and popularized cowpox. Not only did he grow it himself, but he also let the people below grow it.

In terms of culture, there is no need to say Manchu. Kangxi himself also knows some Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, Latin, English, and Spanish. He also has simple foreign language communication with missionaries.

World history developed to the reign of Kangxi, and other countries at the same time had begun to use technology to reform society. Wouldn't people like Kangxi know? The fact is that he not only knew it, but also learned it personally, and he also learned it very deeply!

Kangxi also ordered missionaries to translate Western books into Mandarin for him to show, and personally stared at the translation work in the palace to avoid being seen by outsiders.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty had a clear understanding of the development process of Western Europe and were also very aware of the power of technology.

But even so, I still chose to close the country. The only reason is to avoid the public's turmoil! This turmoil continues to take place in other countries, which is a bad consequence that the emperor who grew up under traditional cultural thoughts will never bear!

Fortunately, everything is still in its infancy.

The world is still in a state of separation, and overseas shipbuilding technology is not too powerful, and judging by the attitude of King Wu, there must be no gunpowder overseas.

Emperor Jing is also an ambitious emperor. Dajing itself has huge advantages. Once the sea opens and gains huge benefits from overseas, the entire court will run towards another completely different route for this!

Even if the society is in turmoil, it is the real future. Fang Zheng can see it better than anyone else!

Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about this magnificent scene of promoting the change of historical gears with his own strength.

"Master, how are you sure there are treasures overseas?" Xie Xian said curiously.

"My father was a sailor when he was young, and he had told me about it." Fang Zhengyi said lightly.

“……”

"Okay, now it seems that some problems arise. I didn't expect that the King of Wu actually burned the ship. However, according to the King of Wu, his ships were all made by a family in Yuding City. You can rest first, and then

Send someone to check which one is. After checking it, we will immediately bring people back to Beijing! By the way, officials here may have contact with the King of Wu, and act in a low-key manner and do not attract the attention of the government."

"That... Master, we have no money. In order to reduce the baggage, we only brought food when we were looking for you in the mountains, but now there are still some left. Otherwise, I will send someone back to Haiyuan City to get some.

Silver?" Zhao Lie felt a little embarrassed.

Fang Zheng was stunned on the spot. He couldn't let his brothers sleep on the street! It was a waste of time to go back to get the money!

After thinking for a while, Fang Zheng made a decision: "How much money do you have? Find a cheap inn first and make do with it for two days. I'll find a way to make up for you. You don't have to worry about this."

Speaking of silver, Zhou Tie touched his chin and asked, "Master, what are you doing in the city these days? Why did you get another maid?"

"I saw that you set off fireworks in the city two days ago. Did you guess that we were outside the city? Could it be that you were going to cheat the young lady of a rich family? "

The three people looked at Fang Zhengyi at the same time with curious eyes, and Fang Zhengyi's face turned red: "How do you say? Master, can I still do such a rude thing?"
