I only heard Sun Chuanting say to him: "But because many courtiers oppose it, it is said that the ban on opening the sea is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty!" There is a lot of resistance to the opening of the sea ban! ”

When Shi Weila heard this, he immediately became anxious, he even forgot the purpose of Sun Chuanting's coming here, it was not easy to wait until the Ming Dynasty wanted to open the sea ban, how could he not open it!

People are like that, if there is something that was not there at the beginning, then there is nothing without it. But if you give hope and then snuff it out, the reaction is great.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the opening of the sea ban is a great thing, everyone has money to make, it's really ......" Shi Vera hurriedly pulled Tang Ruowang's sleeve, urging him to let him quickly translate to the governor of the Ming Kingdom.

When Sun Chuanting saw this situation, he felt a little disdain in his heart, and at first glance, he was not a person who was up and down in the sea, and he couldn't hold his breath at all.

Thinking so, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Under the guarantee of Lord Shoufu, the emperor decided to change the tax system of the city, raise taxes, and use the actual income to shut up those ministers. ”

If he had said so at the beginning, Schwila would definitely be disgusted with collecting taxes, especially collecting too many taxes, but when he heard it at this time, he nodded again and again and agreed: "The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise, and talking with money is the most powerful weapon, which can make them shut up!" ”

Sun Chuanting was happy when he saw that he was completely following his own wishes, so he nodded and said, "However, if the goods that come to the Ming Dynasty for trade are the things that the Ming Dynasty needs, then the tax can be preferential." For example, grain shipped to the South Seas can receive preferential tariffs. However, this official wants to tell you one thing, the food needed by the Ming Dynasty has a time limit, and after the Ming food is enough, the discount will be canceled. For specific related matters, you can ask your subordinates for clarification. ”

As soon as Schvera heard this, he was anxious to know the whole thing. hurriedly invited Sun Chuanting into the living room, and he was more dedicated than his superiors who greeted him.

He put his posture very low, firstly, because Sun Chuanting gave him a dismount, showing a very strong side, which made him unable to harden; The second is that if the sea ban is opened and the Ming Dynasty is in business, then the rolling wealth does not say that he will definitely be promoted, and it is expected that he will get rich. Such a good thing was something he looked forward to very much for a man like him who ventured to the Far East. In this case, don't say that you are condescending, even if you are willing to ask Sun Chuanting's father.

After making a humble gesture, Svera cautiously asked, "Dare to ask Lord Zhongcheng, can this grain be contracted in advance?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded after hearing this, and asked one of his staff members to come forward directly to discuss with the Franc machine.

Seeing that he was free, Yu Biao, a small banner of Jinyi Wei, stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Zhongcheng, although this Bai Yangcui can make a difference even if he is dead, I don't know who this person is, and I also ask Lord Zhongcheng to put pressure on the Buddha Lang Jiren, presumably they must know the identity of this person." ”

For Jinyiwei, Sun Chuanting, like other officials, is actually rejected in his heart. But now the request made by Jin Yiwei is indeed reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.

It didn't take long for the Franc machine to be in a hurry to do business, so a contract was quickly presented to Sun Chuanting.

After he took it, he just looked at the contract like that, and didn't speak for a long time. This made Svera a little worried, I don't know why this governor of the Ming Kingdom has been watching for so long, is he dissatisfied with some places?

In fact, Sun Chuanting actually entered the chat group and gave the contract to Emperor Chongzhen in private chat. At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen had told him that the first contract was to give him the imperial view, and it would be used as a model in the future.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in the chat group, read the contract, and listened to Sun Chuanting explain the specific situation before and after, and immediately instructed without hesitation: "According to the amount of grain, the general principle is to let them import as much grain as possible to Daming!" ”

After thinking for a while, he continued: "In addition, there are additional clauses that require them to protect the Ming merchants, and if they find any persecution of the Ming merchants, they will be disqualified from trade and retain the right to take revenge." ”

After the opening of the sea ban, Ming merchants will also go to sea in large numbers. But the Ming Dynasty at this time is not strong, and before next year, the Fujian Navy Division will be used in the northern war. It can also be said that there is no way to use additional terms to bind them, at least to give more guarantees to the Ming merchants. And the imperial court will only have more taxes if there are more people who go to sea to do business.

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately agreed, and then quit the chat group, asking the staff and the Franco machine to revise the contract, and change it according to the emperor's wishes, and add additional terms.

When Schvera heard so many requests, he was immediately a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Sun Chuanting immediately said indifferently: "It's okay if you don't sign it, Hongyi's side will also receive a notice, and the official believes that they will be happy to cooperate with Daming." ”

As soon as he heard that the Dutch were also going to get involved, Schwilla was immediately anxious. At this time, the Portuguese and the Dutch had always been rivals, so how could they allow each other to cooperate and not participate in themselves!

As a result, Schvera immediately made concessions to the contents of the contract. The final contract passed through the chat group, and when it came to Emperor Chongzhen's hands, he was satisfied. In this way, the Portuguese and Dutch could collect grain for the Ming Dynasty, while the Ming Dynasty only dumped porcelain, silk, tea and other materials overseas.

At this point, the matter of opening the sea ban can be regarded as a good start. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, so he focused his attention on the second Liaodong war that was about to begin.

On this morning, on the coastline about five miles east of Lushun, a dense crowd of ships suddenly appeared, slowly crowding towards the beach on the coast.

The ship ran aground, and the Ming soldiers on it jumped off the boat in a hurry, let the sea water wet their pants but did not care, and gathered under their respective flags after rushing to the shore. Such a landing, if it encounters resistance, will definitely cause heavy casualties. However, there are not many people here, no matter how chaotic they are, as long as there is more time, the soldiers of the Ming army who come ashore will be able to complete the whole team after all.

Unlike these ordinary Ming troops who went ashore smoothly, there were some large ships with the neighing of war horses, and in order for these war horses to get aboard, it was necessary to have a dock docked and covered with as large landing planks as possible. Fortunately, the Ming army is more familiar with this place and knows when there is a place to stop. But even so, it took a full two hours before a hundred or so rides.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the long coastline, full of subordinates. On the sea, there were still many soldiers on the ships who did not come down, and they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.
