Li Biao and Huang Liji were terrified of the lifting of the sea ban.

It's not that they are afraid of death, but that the gentry in the coastal area have already formed a powerful political force, and they have even acted as the official trade of the Ming Empire.

Pirates are the killer weapon of this force, and once the imperial court does not agree, it will open up maritime trade and set import and export tariffs.

Then the Ming Sea Frontier will never be at peace!

They know it, that's why they don't dare to mess around.

At least until the imperial court is fully prepared, the interests of the maritime merchants must not be shaken.

Zhu Youzhen didn't understand it in his heart, but Zhu Youzhen didn't really want to implement it now, but to cancel the sea ban.

As for the actual establishment of customs and the collection of import and export taxes on overseas trade, this task cannot be accomplished without three years of preparation.

The reason why Li Biao and Huang Liji proposed to cancel the sea ban was that Zhu Youzhen wanted to open an opening.

At present, within a year, the empire can have five or six million to ten million taels of silver in tax revenue, which has reached the expected goal.

As for the maritime trade gentry in the coastal area, he has no ability to shake it now, at least he does not have the confidence and energy to deal with it.

After all, the northern Jiannu is eyeing the tiger, and next year they will go south to fight the Ming autumn wind.

First solve the construction of slaves and recreate slaves, and then he can free his hands, rectify the imperial navy, and begin to take on the task of guarding the empire's maritime frontiers.

As for the Imperial Navy Minister, it has to be Yuan Keli!

This old man is vigorous and resolute, and now he has set up a shipyard in Tianjin Wei Port.

This is an important naval base in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the use of Tianjin Wei and Tianjin Naval Division will be an important step for the Ming Dynasty to enter the sea.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen looking at them with blazing eyes, Huang Liji and Li Biao gritted their teeth, and immediately took out the fold that had been prepared and handed it over.

Zhu Youzhen didn't look at the excerpts, but looked at the two ministers, and said indifferently: "But it doesn't matter, I know that the empire is not capable of dealing with it yet, but it must complete the preliminary goal now." "

Li Biao and Huang Liji understood!

It is not that the Son of Heaven is ignorant of the difficulties of lifting the current ban on the sea, nor is he unaware of the serious consequences of lifting the ban.

What the Son of Heaven wants now is for the imperial court to pass a resolution to lift the ban on the sea!

What the Son of Heaven wants is a mouth, tearing open the imperial sea trade.

In this way, when the empire has the strength and confidence, it can be in place in one step.

Since the Son of Heaven is not going to open the sea to set up a customs now, what are they worried about?

Li Biao said: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the ministers and the first assistant, the imperial sea ban order has existed in name only, it is better to cancel the sea ban order!"

"What..."

The ministers were horrified!

Lifting the ban on the sea?

Isn't it funny!

Don't you know that the previous generations of the Son of Heaven did not do it, and they all died without a problem?

Zhu Youzhen ignored the surprise and shock of the ministers, and said indifferently: "I know that the sea ban order exists in name only!

."

In that case, it is better to lift the ban on the sea!

It is no longer monopolized by the gentry in the coastal area, and it is also necessary to give all businessmen in the world a way out.

After all, the empire is going to raise business taxes, and I don't have to do it..."

The ministers smiled bitterly in their hearts, didn't Your Majesty know that the consequences of lifting the ban on the sea would far exceed the mining tax and salt tax?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is to increase the mine tax and salt tax, so he was poisoned!

The world of the Ming Dynasty has already been eaten by maritime merchants and local gentry, and they are the executors of the maritime trade of the Ming Empire

Once the Empire shakes their interests, pirates will raid the coast again.

During the Jiajing period, quelling the Japanese and tracing the actual situation was nothing more than the collusion of maritime merchants, pirates and Japanese pirates.

Because of this, Jiajing also paid a lot of money to quell this turmoil.

If you want to restart customs today, the ban on the sea will be lifted!

This is not a move for the benefit of the country and the people, but it will drag down the empire, make the empire tired, and waste the empire's manpower and money in vain.

Who doesn't know the huge benefits of sea trade profits?

But after a hundred years of the Ming Empire, no son of heaven has reversed this disadvantage!

This is a bitter love play, and Zhu Youzhen must also cooperate with the ministers to perform it.

Tell plainly the political forces represented by the maritime merchants and the gentry:

I don't really want to win the import and export tax of maritime trade, but I want to give the world's merchants a chance to compete fairly, and the empire has no intention of ending up.

The purpose of throwing out the ban on the sea is to raise the internal business tax!

This is one of the items that Zhu Youzhen has been able to implement so far

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also told the gentry of the world that I have no intention of sea trade, but you cannot stop the reform of the empire to raise the commercial tax and salt mine tax!

It can be said that this is Zhu Youzhen's use of the sea trade as a transaction! First of all, it is necessary to stabilize the interests that are currently being implemented.

When the empire became strong and the huge threat of building slaves in the north was solved, Zhu Youzhen had the energy to deal with these wealthy merchants and the forces they represented.

He deeply knew that the nobles left behind by Jinling had long been in collusion with the wealthy merchants along the coast.

As long as these wealthy merchants and nobles are solved, other problems in the empire can be solved.

Huang Liji said respectfully: "Yes, since the sea ban order exists in name only, it is better to cancel the sea ban order."

A kind of compensation for the huge losses incurred by mainland businessmen as a result of raising commercial taxes! I think most businessmen are very grateful to God. "

Since the Son of Heaven is not brutal at present, then he wants a name, there is no problem with this, they still have this courage and ability.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Lifting the ban on the sea is a must, the empire cannot be treated as a joke by foreign countries." It is better to be sparse than blocked, as has been the case since ancient times. "

He knew very well in his heart that there were definitely some ministers of the DPRK and China who were spokesmen for those with vested interests in maritime trade.

I heard the Son of Heaven explain that it is only the lifting of the ban on the sea, and there is no actual end, and it will not affect the interests of those with vested interests in maritime trade.

At present, the empire has not really implemented it, so it can be seen that this is the Son of Heaven covering his ears and stealing the bell, bringing a fig leaf for himself.

After Li Biao and Huang Liji's explanations, none of the ministers continued to stop them.

If you don't give such a request, you won't give face to the Son of Heaven.

If you don't give face to the Son of Heaven, who knows what else this Son of Heaven can do.

The ministers thought to themselves: After waiting for the next dynasty, they can only explain the mystery to the wealthy businessmen.

Now is the anger of the great tomorrow, and he must not learn from Donglin, which will provoke the anger of the son of heaven, so that both sides will lose.

"Your Majesty Shengming!

A number of ministers echoed and passed the resolution without any problems

However, Zhu Youzhen's heart was gloomy, and killing a wave of Donglin was nothing more than to scare some people.

For those maritime merchants and nobles who have eaten a lot of money, whoever dares to shake their interests, even if it is the Son of Heaven, is their enemy.

After the court meeting dispersed, Zhu Youzhen's face was gloomy, and Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian followed to the Qianqing Palace silently.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is incompetent, and it has disgraced Your Majesty!".

Wei Zhongxian directly pleaded guilty to Zhu Youzhen!

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you have done a very good job." "

After that, Zhu Youzhen looked at the sky where the dark clouds had dispersed with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "It is difficult to return to the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to treat it for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty has a long way to go!"
