"The last general Li Yanzhi pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"The last general Li Dingguo pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"The last general Zhang Huangyan pays homage to Your Majesty!"

In the study, looking at the three people kneeling in front of him, Zhu Youjian smiled on his face.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, let me take a good look."

The three of them stood up quickly when they heard this, all stood up straight and looked at the emperor with excitement.

Zhu Youjian first walked up and down to Li Yan, looked up and down, punched his shoulder heavily, and then grinned, and his fist was so ache. This damn guy was wearing armor under his clothes.

"I've become much darker and stronger, and I'm no longer the slutty face I used to be." Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

Li Yanzhi smiled embarrassedly. The general of Fujian and the chief general of a town were actually smiling like a child at this time.

When he came to Li Dingguo, he reached out to compare and found that Li Dingguo was actually more tall than him. He reached out to pat Li Dingguo's shoulder: "Good boy, he has grown taller and stronger."

Li Dingguo just giggled.

Finally, he came to Zhang Huangyan, looked up and down, and smiled and said, "Am you the least change among the three, or are you as handsome and elegant as before."

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said, "Maybe it will be because of the southerners, and I am very used to being at sea."

After chatting, Li Yanzhi began to report to Zhu Youjian about the current situation of the Fujian Navy and the Royal Maritime Trade Company. Although Zhu Youjian has already understood many things through memorials, it is naturally not as clear as the person involved said in person.

The current situation in Fujian can be said to be very good. Last year during his trip to Japan, Zheng Zhilong and Mao Liangze severely damaged Fujian's maritime merchants and pirate fleets, taking advantage of the opportunity to force Zhejiang and Guangdong maritime merchants to be mediocre. The powerful force of the Fujian Navy and the emperor's background behind it,

All maritime merchants have to surrender.

From then on, if all Daming maritime merchants want to go overseas for trade, they must obtain permission from the Royal maritime merchants, and must pay protection fees to the Royal maritime merchants and charge silver according to the traded goods. At least this is the case for maritime merchants taking the Japanese route!

After the fleets of Fuzhou merchants and Funing merchants were eliminated, the maritime forces of the three major merchants in Fujian disappeared. From then on, the royal maritime trade merchants who provided goods on the mainland were dominant.

I dare not control the maritime trade business and honestly provide the supply of goods.

"This year, we purchased ten ships' cargo, of which 1,500 pounds of raw silk. If we follow the market conditions last year, we can earn at least one million taels of silver. If we add the protection fees paid by each company at sea,

You can almost make two million taels of silver." Li Yanzhi said last.

"Is it only two million?" Zhu Youjian said disappointed. This was much less than the money he earned last year.

"Last year, it was because of a raid on Fuzhou's merchant gang and pirate fleet, and a large amount of goods and silver were seized. It is impossible for normal trade to be that much." Li Yanzhi explained with a wry smile.

Although Japan is poor and only has silver, it is not infinitely large. The market is limited after all. It is already very good to make 2 million taels of silver by traveling to Japan's sea trade once a year.

"Japan Sea Trade is just like this. The next step is to open a Nanyang route and turn the business to Nanyang." Zhu Youjian said casually.

Li Yan nodded: "Mao Liangze and the others are ready to do this. Previously, because the Dutch and pirates Li Kuiqi and Liu Xiang blocked the southbound route, the sea trade ships could not go south and could only take the Japanese route. Now,

The Dutch were beaten honestly and took the initiative to seek peace. He would never dare to attack the fleet of our Royal Maritime Trade Company in the future.

In March, I led the fleet to attack the Penghu Islands, conquered Li Kuiqi, and wiped out his fleet. In June, I led the navy to fight Liu Xiang in Nan'ao, relying on the five Garen ships.

Firepower sank Liu Xiang dozens of sea ships. Liu Xiang was defeated and only took a few sea ships to escape from the ocean. Now, except for a few pirates such as He Bin on Taiwan Island, the pirates in the southeast ocean were basically flooded by our Fujian waters.

Shi Suqing. Mao Liangze and others are preparing to open routes such as Luzon, Jawa, Borneo, and Chameng."

"Very very good." Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile and expressed his satisfaction. The South Ocean is vast and the country is full of. If the South Ocean trade is fully launched, you will be able to earn more money.

"The Dutch really became honest? I won't attack my fleet, right? Are there other Westerners such as Franchise?" Zhu Youjian said with some concern.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, if the Dutch dares to attack our fleet, we will immediately lead troops to attack Dayuancheng and completely expel the Dutch from Taiwan! At present, I, the Fujian Navy, have many ships and cannons, and as long as the Dutch are not stupid, they will never dare to make things difficult.

My sea trade merchant ship is the little Folangian on Luzon Island. It’s a bit of trouble." Li Yan said straight.

"What's wrong with Xiao Folang Jiren?" Zhu Youjian asked hurriedly.

"Because there are tens of thousands of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty on Luzon Island, Xiao Folangjiren is very afraid of the Ming people. In the 31st year of Wanli and the 37th year of Wanli, he slaughtered the Ming people in Luzon twice, and tens of thousands of Ming people died tragically

Luzon. More than 20 years have passed, and the number of Ming people on Luzon has reached tens of thousands, which has made Xiaofolang Ji people very afraid. It is said that in recent years, Xiaofolang Ji people have tried to provoke Luzon many times.

The conflict between the indigenous people on the island and the Ming people tried to drive the indigenous people to deal with the Ming people. Because they were very afraid of the Ming people, the Xiao Folangji people were quite friendly to ordinary Ming merchants. After all, they needed my Ming goods, but

My Royal Maritime Trade Company's fleet is not allowed to go to Luzon to trade." Li Yanzhi explained.

"Damn Little Folang Jiren, how dare you do this!" Zhu Youjian said angrily, "One day, I will definitely send a large army to attack Luzon and drive Little Folang Jiren away from Luzon!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Dingguo shouted, "not only the little Florians, but also the Dutch and the English. All the Western barbarians must be driven out of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon, Borneo, Jawa, and Malacca.

, These are the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and Westerners are not allowed to be involved in it!"

After staying in the Fujian Navy for more than a year and fighting many battles with pirates, Li Dingguo is now very familiar with the situation in the South China Sea and is very dissatisfied with the ships of the small Western barbarian countries who are domineering in the waters of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, drive them away, turn Luzon, Borneo, Jawa, and Malacca into the territory of our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"I have to fight to that new continent. I heard that the new continent has a very vast territory. Its territory is several times that of the Ming Dynasty. The land is fertile and rich, and it is a landless land. If we can occupy the new continent, we can immigrate our landless people in the Ming Dynasty.

When they get there, they will reduce the burden on the court." Li Dingguo said enthusiastically.

"The courage is commendable!" Zhu Youjian laughed.
