Chapter 143: The Ming Dynasty Changes, Zhu Di Starts (For Subscription)
Lao Zhu’s departure made the entire Daming panic.
Especially Zhu Yunwen’s ministers are even more so.
After all, an accident may happen at any time, and once an accident occurs, Zhu Yunwen, the grandson who was temporarily mentioned, may not be so secure. After all, Zhu Yunwen has only been in this position for more than two years, less than three years. .
Now Lao Zhu is back.
Undoubtedly relieved.
It’s just that everyone didn’t expect it.
The first thing Lao Zhu came back.
It’s just drastic.
First, the principle of the sea ban was completely abolished.
In the third year of Hongwu, Daming “stopped the shipping department of Taicang Huangdu City”
In the seventh year of Hongwu, Daming ordered the cancellation of the three cities of Fujian Quanzhou, Zhejiang Mingzhou, and Guangdong Guangzhou, which had existed since the Tang Dynasty and were responsible for overseas trade, and China’s foreign trade was cut off.
In the 14th year of Hongwu’s reign, Lao Zhu “did not keep track of the Japanese pirates, and also ordered the prohibition of people from the coastal areas from illicitly communicating with overseas countries.” Since then, even the Southeast Asian countries that had good relations with the Ming Dynasty could not come to China for trade and cultural exchanges.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu once again issued the “Prohibition of Traffic from Foreign Domains”. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, in order to completely ban overseas trade, the private use and trade of imported fragrant incense and goods were prohibited.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Bo can develop in Nanyang.
Otherwise, his development has already been discovered by the exchange between Daming and Nanyang.
But because of this series of bans, even if Zhu Bo has developed in the entire Nanyang for several years, and even annexed the entire Nanyang, there is still no gap where Daming is located.
And in history.
Thirty years after Hongwu, Lao Zhu once again issued an order prohibiting the people of the Ming Dynasty from going to the sea.
But at this moment, after Nanyang and his party, Lao Zhu completely changed his mind.
At the beginning of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu.
His order came.
With immediate effect, all sea bans will be lifted.
Set up three trading ports in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Jiaheli, Ningbo, and Huating, set up a municipal shipping department, and organize a comprehensive opening of the sea.
compared to the previous ban.
At this time, Lao Zhu can be said to have completely changed a person.
In fact it is.
in the original forbidden sea.
There are two main reasons.
The first is, of course, that Daming is committed to the recovery of the rural economy, so the development of overseas trade has not been put on the agenda.
After all, China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and the dynasties of all dynasties were basically maintained by the taxes of farmers. Therefore, the rural economy has always been the focus of the dynasties of the past dynasties. As for the commodity economy, trade economy, etc., it is only secondary Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu will naturally focus on the recovery and development of the rural economy, prohibit the sea, and be able to gather people’s hearts and make the agricultural foundation develop rapidly.
The second is internal and external troubles.
Although Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, he did not achieve real unity, and “internal and external troubles” still existed. There are still remnants of the former Yuan in China, and they have not been cleaned up. “Foreign aggression”, there are more, there are the old Yuan Dynasty in the north, and Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng’s expatriates overseas. If the “sea ban policy” is not implemented among the people, Wan Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng’s old ministries collude with the rebel forces in the mainland, which will undoubtedly endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
But now the situation has completely reversed.
The overseas forces, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng’s old divisions, who once swept the world, were almost wiped out by their sons, and the country was completely stabilized.
The agricultural development has gradually entered a stable state.
Although it has not recovered to its peak, it is almost there.
And the disadvantages of the sea ban, he has seen with his own eyes.
The prosperity of Guangzhou Mansion used to be so clear, but now it looks particularly desolate when looking at Guangzhou Mansion.
In contrast, both Shangjing and Qiongzhou Mansion have become more and more prosperous.
In addition, the constant conversation with Zhu Bo in those ten days, Lao Zhu’s sight was also opened at this moment.
Eventually he decided to start a massive reform.
Back to Jinling.
One after another policy was issued by him.
Although there are some things, he has not moved yet.
But some things, he has already begun to move.
Opening the sea is the first step.
As the founding emperor, Lao Zhu’s execution ability is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Just under a month.
The five trading ports that he established have already been established.
The related ship company has also been built.
The Shibo Division was an official government established by Huaxia in various seaports in Song, Yuan, and early Ming to manage foreign trade by sea, equivalent to customs. It is the organ that managed foreign trade in ancient China.
After the development of Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Shibo Division has gradually improved, and there is no difference compared to the system of later generations.
Of course, Da Ming is not Da Xia after all, and Lao Zhu is not completely open in the true sense at present. Transactions are still only carried out at these five trading ports. In other places, only going to sea and fishing operations are open.
On this point, Lao Zhu completely let go.
After all, after landing in Guangzhou, he could clearly feel the poverty of the coastal people in Daming.
The coastal areas are not suitable for farming, and the local climatic conditions cannot meet the needs of grain farming.
In a year or two, maybe it’s okay, if it goes on for a long time, this part of the people will definitely be in chaos.
This is the way of calamity.
Lao Zhu naturally noticed it.
For the people along the coast, as well as the wealthy merchants in the south, they couldn’t help but revel.
The sea ban is undoubtedly the biggest loss for them.
Especially now when Lao Zhu is here.
The so-called forbidden sea is the real forbidden sea.
Few dared to resist.
Although with the passage of time, some people finally began to take risks, but it has not yet formed a large scale, and the loss is not small.
Opening the sea now is undoubtedly the biggest benefit for them.
The same is true for the people.
And in this kind of national jubilation.
Lao Zhu issued several orders again and again.
From opening the sea to people’s livelihood.
Dozens of large and small.
Among them, the slave policy is also the same as that of Zhu Bo, and he chose the same national policy.
Slaves only need to work for ten years to have the opportunity to be incorporated into the Daming household registration.
The policy is constantly being implemented.
At the same time, the new Northern Expedition will soon begin.
This time, Zhu Bo sent Lao Zhu back.
It’s not just sending it back.
In fact, hundreds of ships also followed and returned.
It’s just that Lao Zhu insisted on landing from Guangzhou, otherwise he could reach Jinling directly.
In fact, before Lao Zhu returned to Jinling, the supplies had already arrived in Jinling.
Among them, the grain reached 5 million shi, dried fish 1 million shi, and there were tens of millions of taels of gold and 100 million taels of silver.
This is Zhu Bo’s last gift to Lao Zhu.
After this one, no more will be given.
And these are undoubtedly enough to quickly replenish the power of the entire Ming Dynasty.
With this power, I heard Zhu Bo talk about the threat of the Mongolian Khanate.
While Lao Zhu was reforming, the new Northern Expedition also kicked off.
In particular, in March Ning Wangquan reported that the cavalry had been patrolling the fortress recently, and they saw that there were strays left on the road.
Lao Zhu immediately made a decision.
The army was dispatched again and went to the north, ready to launch a new northern expedition at any time.
And this may be Lao Zhu’s last northern expedition.
Lao Zhu’s death was not an accident, but a chronic illness.
After twenty-seven years of Hongwu, he actually didn’t care much.
During this overseas trip, Zhu Bo tried his best to cure Lao Zhu, but the effect was not great.
Even the trip at sea made Lao Zhu’s body a little worse.
such a problem.
Let alone this era, even in the 21st century, there is nothing to do.
Zhu Bo can only recuperate as much as possible.
But how much the effect will be, only God knows.
In this regard, Lao Zhu also felt it, so he was even more urgent.
He who had been ignoring government affairs at first, now he doesn’t care anymore.
While preparing for the Northern Expedition.
At this time, the pattern of Goryeo was quietly changing.
In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, in July, due to Zhu Di’s deliberate actions and Lao Zhu’s dissatisfaction with (Qian Ma Zhao) Yu Goryeo, a diplomatic crisis occurred between Daming and Goryeo. On the pretext of the Hezheng written by Goryeo, Lao Zhu used light words and insults” to investigate Goryeo’s responsibility, and later named Li Chenggui’s confidant Zheng Dao to Nanjing.
For a time, the situation between Daming and Goryeo instantly entered a tense range.
Peiping.
Zhu Di has returned to his own kingdom.
No rash action again.
It’s just that some action is inevitable.
For example, the friction between Daming and Goryeo, I am afraid only God knows what is going on.
“Father, on the Goryeo side, they already want to attack me, Daming. 35
“Hey, they are really good. 35
Zhu Gaojiu opened his mouth with a sneer, and there was only contempt in his eyes.
Goryeo, what is that, the existence of a small country, and attacking them in Ming Dynasty, this is simply an old birthday star eating arsenic to find a dead cabinet.
If it weren’t for the fact that the emperor’s grandfather was not very easy to explain, they would have sent troops long ago.
For the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the threat there was extremely huge, but it was the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was Goguryeo, not Goryeo, and the two were not the same concept at all.
