After Zhang Huangyan left, Wang Yan took out the secret fold of the brocade guard that he had just collected and looked at it, the content was not a big deal, but it attracted Wang Yan's attention.

After King Lu went to sea and King Tang was imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang, the power of the Ming Dynasty clan could not shake Wang Yan's position, and the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty was basically stable, but a string in Wang Yan's heart was still tight, paying attention to the situation of the clan.

In the past two years, especially after Wang Yan became the treasure of the country, the clan has been very quiet, and Wang Yan doesn't want to fall into the notoriety of killing them all, so he is basically at peace with the clan.

The secret fold in his hand is about Zhu Yu, the king of Yu.

His Royal Highness recently left Taiwan and went to Nanjing, but he did not come to target Wang Yan, but spent a lot of money to lobby the officials of the court and the central government to open up the joints, hoping to fish out the Tang King who was under house arrest, hoping that the imperial court could restore the title of the Tang King and let the Tang King go overseas to become a vassal.

After the fall of King Tang, the impulsive King Yu seemed to have matured a lot, and did not make any small moves, and every festival, he would send someone to give some gifts to Princess Chu, wanting to repair the relationship with Wang Yan.

Now that there is no protection from King Tang, Zhu Yuyi is also a twenty-six or seventy-seven person, so it is time to rein in his edge.

If he was still as self-righteous as before, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and with the beam he had formed with Wang Yan before, he would have been killed by Wang Yan a long time ago.

Wang Yan finished reading the excerpt, and then instructed the guards outside the study: "Go to Jinyiwei and call Yu Taichu." ”

If the Tang King wanted to seal the domain, Wang Yan would have raised his hands in favor, but now that the Tang King has lost, Wang Yan has no reason to let the tiger return to the mountain.

In fact, not long ago, after Wang Yan was appointed as a prisoner, the Tang King, who was under house arrest, also gave Wang Yan a fold and wrote a congratulatory note, on the one hand, he sang praises to Wang Yan's restoration of Shenjing, and agreed with Wang Yan's appointment as a prisoner, on the other hand, his words also leaked the meaning of pleading, hoping that Wang Yan could let him go.

Tang Wang said in the compromises that he supported Wang Yan to supervise the country, and at the same time said that he was only middle-aged, and he wanted to do something for the Ming Dynasty, and it was still useful, and he didn't want to be imprisoned to death.

Wang Yan was also very emotional after reading Tang Wang's congratulatory watch, he could feel Tang Wang's pain and depression from his words, and it was estimated that Tang Wang was sincere in defeat, but Wang still replied with two cold Chinese characters on the fold - not allowed! And asked people to send the reply to Fengyang and hand it over to King Tang.

Since Wang Yan was in charge of the country, the clan has understood that thin arms can't twist Wang Yan's thick legs, and they have been very peaceful in the past two years, but it is impossible for King Tang to be released.

This has nothing to do with good and evil, nothing to do with right or wrong, politics is so impersonal, even if King Tang is still a good prince of the clan, if he loses, he loses, Wang Yan didn't let him die violently, he was already very merciful.

After a while, Yu Taichu walked in and bowed, "See the prison country!" ”

Wang Yan picked up the secret fold and asked, "King Yu spent more than 500,000 taels of silver in Nanjing, which was used to open up joints and lobby ministers, how could he have so much silver as a poor vassal king, and was there anyone behind him?" ”

When the clan moved to Taiwan, the main assets were replaced by the land of Taiwan Island, and many of the feudal lords lost their fiefs, so most of the feudal kings had no assets except for a few feudal kings in the southwest who were relatively wealthy.

Although King Yu is the younger brother of Gaozong and a relative of the Ming Dynasty, he has not been a feudal domain for a few years, so he naturally has no background.

500,000 taels is not a small number, Wang Yan felt that he could not have so much money, so he was suspicious in his heart, afraid that someone would collude with King Yu.

Wang Yanzao is in a high place, very cold, and has become more and more suspicious recently.

Yu Taichu saluted and said: "Back to the prison country, Jinyiwei's surveillance of King Yu and Taiwan Island has not been relaxed, and no one has been found to fund King Yu. These silvers are really King Yu's own. ”

Wang Yan was a little unconvinced, and frowned slightly, "Where did he get so much silver?" ”

"Jianguo, according to Jinyiwei's discovery, Taiwan Island is rich in products, although the rice sent to Jiangnan in the past two years is not as good as Zhancheng, but all kinds of vegetables and fruits are the first in the South Seas, and according to the minister's knowledge, only last year, Taiwan Island to Quanzhou, Ningbo two cities, camphor, camphor oil transported worth more than 900,000 taels, if you count other materials, there should be about five or six million taels."

According to the 10 taxes, the tax revenue between Taiwan and the mainland will be about 600,000 taels.

This made Wang Yan surprised for a while, "That's not more than the materials sent by the imperial court to Taidao. ”

Taiwan Island is close to Jiangnan and Fujian, which makes him geographically more advantageous than Champa and other parts of the South Seas, many of the products of the South Seas, because of the problem of preservation, can not be transported to the Ming Dynasty, but the fruits of Taiwan Island are easy to ship, and certainly more valuable than the rice of the South Seas.

As for camphor and camphor oil, Li Shizhen called it "Shao Brain", which has great medicinal value, which can clear the customs, promote stagnation qi, dispel filth and turbidity, kill insects and relieve itching, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

This kind of thing is very useful to the people in the south of the Ming Dynasty and the South Seas, camphor can kill insects, camphor oil can remove moisture and miasma, and it is something urgently needed in the Ming Dynasty.

These things were not only needed by the people, but also purchased in large quantities by the Ming Dynasty army and maritime merchants, and even were in short supply.

It can be said that most of the things on Taiwan Island were needed by the Ming Dynasty, but the things that needed the Ming Dynasty on Taiwan Island were mainly only the Zong Fan and some Han people who went ashore, adding up to hundreds of thousands of people, and a large number of oppressed young people did not have much consumption power, so Taiwan Island became the only area around the Ming Dynasty that had a huge trade surplus with the Ming Dynasty.

"More than that, indeed! It is said that the deficit is more than 1.5 million taels! Yu Taichu replied.

Jin Yiwei now collects a wealth of information, including domestic and foreign, political, economic, military, cultural, and historical aspects.

Wang Yan laughed self-deprecatingly, no wonder Zong Fan has not moved much recently, it turns out that he is making a fortune in a muffled voice, and his life is very good.

Wang Yan frowned slightly, the deficit this year is so big, I have to think of a way to come out and reverse the deficit.

Although the Ming Dynasty set up a governor on the island, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, it was in fact a relatively independent state, and Wang Yan could not watch the clan grow.

However, Wang Yan didn't think about this matter for the time being, and returned to the topic of Zhu Yuyi.

Wang Yan thought for a while, and said: "The Taiwan side continues to strengthen control, and in addition, you go to the Criminal Department to ask for a document approving the arrest, arrest King Yu, send it to the Zongren Mansion, and deal with it according to the Zongfan's private coming to Beijing, detain him for a while, and give him a warning." ”

King Yu is on Taiwan Island, Wang Yan has no reason to take him, but he sent it to the door, Wang was naturally not polite, and decided to lock him up for a period of time, and then Wang came out to treat him leniently, so that the world could see King Yu who assassinated him back then, he could let it go, in order to show that he was lenient, and at the same time gave Zhu Yuyi a lesson, telling him to go back to be the king of the vassal with peace of mind, it is impossible for the king of Tang to let go, so that he should not have any illusions.

When Yu Taichu heard this, he immediately clenched his fists, "The minister will do it immediately." ”

South Seas, Luzon.

Because it was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon did not have its own era name and calendar, and now it is in September of the seventh year of the reign, which is the season when the island's products are ripe. The villages surrounding Luzon Bay are getting busy.

Zhu Yihai has been in Luzon for three years, and now he has passed the most difficult period, and the people who have followed him have settled down.

There were about 600,000 Han Chinese scattered around Luzon Bay, and people built houses, cultivated fields, and built roads to connect the villages.

At present, although the state of Luzon has gained a foothold, in fact, the area under its control is very limited, only the national capital and the vicinity of the Gulf of Luzon, and the rest of the region and the islands in the south are still in the hands of the local indigenous tribes.

The Luzon state was almost non-stop fighting with the native tribes, and this Luzon state brought great trouble, but it was precisely because of the continuous war that the Luzon army captured a large number of natives, so that the population under the control of Luzon was close to two million......
