Chapter 635: Free Trade
As soon as Hu An left, a large number of merchants and gentry were invited to the Governor's Office in Hangzhou.
Regarding this matter, Xu Qian needs to listen to the opinions of a group of powerful people led by Liu Yu.
Since the new policy, a group of gentry seized the opportunity and soon became several chaebols in Zhejiang. They not only mastered the land, but also gradually became easy to do business. Through a large amount of investment and the opportunity to build workshops on their own, they took advantage of them.
His connections quickly emerged.
Just like Liu Yu, as the largest landlord in Qingtian, after the Ming Dynasty made few founding achievements in Zhejiang, he is now worth a million yuan, owns three docks, six silk spinning, and is in Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau.
Several workshops have their own shares. At the same time, he is also one of the leaders of the Money and Grain Bureau. This time, the Liu family sharpened their knives and planned to take advantage of the new policies of Nanzhili and Fujian, and planned to go to Nanzhili and
Do some business in Fujian.
Most of the others, like the Liu family, are the biggest beneficiaries of this new policy. Most of them now live in Hangzhou, so as to keep track of the trends at any time. Now the Governor's Office has invited them, which makes them look forward to it again.
But this time, Xu Qian went straight to the point and told all Spain's provocations.
Before the war, Xu Qian hoped to get the support of these people.
Liu Yu stroked his beard. After hearing the news, he not only did not worry, but instead stroked his beard and smiled: "Sir, since the Spanish are too bullying, they should immediately fight back. For the court, the Spanish are so rampant that they have nothing to do with the Japanese pirates.
As the governor of Zhizhe, the general in charge of pacifying Japanese affairs, then, in the name of pacifying Japanese, we should eliminate the thieves and rebellion at the sea. The various vassal states are within the scope of the pacification of the sea road pacification envoy.
Since they bullied the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, they should be purged. I think that adults should not hesitate and should take action immediately."
When I heard that the group of people led by Liu Yu wanted to fight, they became strange in the atmosphere, and they were all faintly excited.
The so-called butt determines the head. When they are big landlords, war is particularly unfavorable to them, because once war is fought, the court will requisition a large number of civil servants, which will cause a large number of civil servants to be requisitioned for free, leaving the land without
There was enough manpower to farm and after the war began, the court could not help but hope that they could provide some support for official grain. As landlords and powerful people, they certainly did not want to fight, so they would object without hesitation, and even in the name of shaking the foundation of the country.
, advise.
But now, they are no longer just big landlords. They are merchants and merchants like war. On the one hand, if the Ming Dynasty can win, it means that the future maritime trade fair will be smoother and their products will be passed on a larger scale.
The sea road pacifier department dumped it. On the other hand, once the war begins, a large amount of goods will be consumed through the war. The more consumed, the more demand for goods on the market will be. For example, Liu Yu has three docks to produce
Once the sea ships are in battle, the orders of the Sea Road Pacification Envoy must continue to increase. Moreover, he owns workshops in several firearm workshops of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and a large number of firearms will also be consumed.
This time, the imperial court fought against the Tatars, and Liu Yu tasted the great sweetness. Countless firearms and swords were consumed by the army in the border town, and at the same time, they brought countless money to the Liu family.
The Liu family's ideas have gradually changed, which of course involves his own interests. When he was studying, the so-called "war will perish" was long ago thrown into Java. Everything is fake, and the real interests are
It's the truth.
Not only Liu Yu, but almost everyone supported the one-sided support of continuing to clear the Japanese pirates.
The reason why they bit these Spanish Francis to death was that they wanted to avoid one problem, that is, the court.
If these people were not Japanese pirates, then if they wanted to use force, they had to decide whether to launch troops through the court. Now that the court is fighting against the Tatars, it is obviously impossible to look south, and it is even more impossible to act harshly at will. Even if it is a harsh, it will take only a few months.
Even a year or two of the debates cannot be issued.
But if they were bitten to death, they were Japanese pirates, and according to the rules of the court, the Governor of Zhizhe was the imperial envoy who was ordered to pacify the Japanese pirates and governors of the Japanese pirate affairs. They could do anything cheaply and directly send troops to suppress them. Then they would just turn around and tell the court.
As for the Sea Road Pacification Envoy, it is also responsible for the pacification affairs of the vassal states and has sufficient rights to cooperate with the Governor's Office.
Moreover, the actions of these Spanish people are indeed not much different from those of the Japanese pirates. At least for the court, their nature is Japanese pirates.
In this way, all troubles can be avoided.
With the support of these people, Xu Qian finally made up his mind and said to Liu Yu: "Mr. Liu said it well. If you indulge these Japanese pirates to rage, today they will harass the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and sooner or later they will harass our three southeastern provinces tomorrow, and prepare for the future.
The official is determined to fight."
Since he was determined to fight, he had to take action. Wang Genxing had already said hello, and Ming Pao immediately issued an article, many vassals of the Ming Dynasty! A large number of Japanese pirates appeared in the country's economy, which were suspected to be the remnants of Japanese pirates. After the southeast was purged, it had already begun to do so.
The vassal states were in trouble, and they killed the subjects of the vassal states and attacked the caravan of the Sea Pacification Envoy. Last month, a ship of the Sea Pacification Envoy was missing when it was passing through Da Ryukyu. The Sea Pacification Envoy had conducted a thorough investigation.
, it is suspected to have a lot to do with this group of Japanese pirates.
The missing sea boat was carried more than 300 personnel from the Sea Pacification Envoy Department, including more than 170 Han people, and even two official military officers from the Sea Pacification Envoy Department, more than 30
A soldier.
This kind of article is most likely to attract thought. In fact, why the accident happened to this sea ship has not been thoroughly found yet. After all, there are many dangers at the sea. Typhoons and reefs may cause the ship to be buried under the sea. It is just in the article
There was enough hints before that, and suddenly, Zhejiang started to make trouble. It must be the Japanese pirates who were attacking him and must be severely punished.
The three southeastern provinces are deeply disgusted with the Japanese pirates. The attack on Hangzhou is still vivid in my mind. The burning, killing, and robbery are even more lingering. Now there is news about Japanese pirates, which naturally attracts all the attention.
And at the end of the article, it is almost certain that the Japanese pirates are now invading the vassal states and accumulating strength. In time, they will definitely make a comeback.
I still want to do it again, so it is naturally unacceptable, so the people who demand to eliminate the Japanese pirates will rise.
At the same time, strange phenomena occurred in Ruyifang in Hangzhou and Ningbo. The prices of various commodities began a new round of growth, and goods became scarce again. Under the favorable benefits of future wars,
All merchants will not miss any opportunity.
The merchants clamored that they must teach the Japanese pirates a lesson, and they must thoroughly eliminate them and mobilize all their forces. In order to achieve the goal of elimination, they can use all their forces at the Zhizhe River.
While shouting, they began to produce frantically without hesitation. Spring is coming, and although the orders are overwhelmed, it is certain that under the new war, there must be a more generous order.
Industry such as sea ship manufacturing began to become in short supply again, and several big merchants built more new docks without hesitation.
The Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau also seemed to have been fluctuated.
It seems that this time, it will be impossible not to fight.
A memorial was delivered to the court.
And on the court, the approval was given without much discussion.
The imperial edict severely reprimanded Xu Qian, saying that Xu Qian, as the governor of Zhizhe, was responsible for the heavy responsibility of pacifying the Japanese. Since there were traces of Japanese pirates, he should have done his best and should not miss the opportunity to fight. Why should he ask for instructions?
Whether it was the palace, the court still had a hatred and fearful attitude towards the Japanese pirates. At that time, the Japanese pirates attacked Hangzhou, which shocked the world. The harm of the Japanese pirates was enough to make the palace and the court support Zhizhe and pursue measures to eliminate the roots.
No matter how much manpower and material resources are used or how much time is needed, we must eliminate the roots.
After receiving the imperial decree in the Governor's Office, Xu Qian ordered people to bring paper and pen.
He squinted his eyes, sat in his study, pondered for a moment, and then his pen tip started to move: "Tell me the soldiers and civilians of all vassals and ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty......"
This letter was naturally written to Aceh, Luzon, Java, Cham, Ryukyu people, etc., holding the pen tip in his hand, Xu Qian suddenly realized that he seemed to have become the liberation of Asia by chance, and he even
It feels quite funny. If it were a hundred years later, what would he appear in the hearts of others?
Xu Qian's article is nothing this time, because it is not written for the court and scholars. If you want the military and civilians of the vassal state to understand your words, it is better to use less awkward words and sentences.
"The Japanese pirates plundered land and killed the people, and they were full of sins. I am unable to write about it. I am ordered by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to inform you that the Ming Dynasty will never sit idly by and watch the Japanese pirates invading the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will never indulge atrocities in the vassal state. The Ming Dynasty guarantees all vassal families
Rights and interests, from today on the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will never tolerate any robbers. All vassal states have the freedom to trade with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty protects any innocent weak person... Those who trample on trade freedom will be killed without mercy...
”
After finally writing an article, Wang Gen was invited to translate various words and hand them over to the Zhoushan Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office, and asked them to inform them of the countries.
