Chapter 509: The Root Problem of Two Hundred Years

After Sun Chengzong's reminder, Yang Jing remembered that it was time to establish a navy. Yang Jing, who had always wanted to form a navy before, had never been able to form a navy for various reasons. Today's navy is still a navy that conforms to the "existing policies" of the Ming Dynasty, rather than a maximum existence. The navy in the true sense is not a maximum and complete maritime force, but still a "navy" with strong Ming Dynasty characteristics.

In the dark, Yang Jie seemed to have caught a little enlightenment. Following this enlightenment, Yang Jie felt that the time for establishing a complete navy was up. As a service branch, it was time for the Navy to step onto the stage.

"I think Master Sun's words are indeed reasonable. Now the coast of Liaodong alone is divided into several sections, not to mention Tianjin and Shandong, they all have their own control. This is extremely unfavorable for controlling the coast, patrolling the sea, and strictly preventing spies. There are too many gaps. If the traitors take advantage of it, the consequences will be irreversible. For example, what Master Sun said today is really a big loophole. After hearing Master Sun's words today, I feel that it is time to form a navy that is unified in affairs and manages all matters at sea. In addition to the Bohai Sea in Liaodong, other sea areas should also have corresponding navies..." Yang Jing thought about it and expressed his own ideas.

"Navy? Your Majesty, you have to concentrate the maritime affairs on one person's hands? But this is quite difficult!" Sun Chengzong frowned and asked. The unity of maritime affairs is really a problem. There are too many "learnings" here. It's not that Sun Chengzong didn't know the disadvantages here. The problem is too complicated! The Ming Dynasty has never had such a thing. Even when he was harassed by Japan to the most powerful time, he did not form a navy or navy that unified maritime affairs. They still defended their own defenses. You can build military forts everywhere on the coast to defend against Japanese pirates, but you can't build a navy that governs the entire sea area. Even Qi Jiguang's navy is still

The local governor and the navy supported by the governor are only under the jurisdiction of the governor. Now, if the emperor wants to hand over the maritime affairs to one person, across regions and across seas, and establish a navy or a navy that controls maritime affairs, this is a difficult problem. According to the current "policy" of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to control the sea power of the entire sea surface of the Bohai Sea, this official must at least be granted the title of Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, and supervise the military affairs of Ji, Liao, and Deng, Lai, Ji, Qing and Tianjin. This is not the case that Mao Wenlong occupied the territory of Korea. If he wants to control the title of the Bohai King, he must add it. This method of enthroning the Bohai King is obviously not in line with the emperor's idea...

Sun Chengzong frowned higher.

"Oh? Haha, Master Sun thinks there is any difficulty?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Yang Jing asked. It was not unaware of the trouble of establishing a navy. Therefore, the establishment of a navy has been delayed until now. Now, Yang Jing feels that the time has come. It is time to build a navy. It is time to make the navy officially debut. It is time to make the navy as a military branch that exists. It seems that there is something in the dark. The light that has passed through my mind illuminates the blurred future.

"Your Majesty has thought about the consequences of handing over the sea affairs to one person to manage? For example, if you hand over the sea affairs to Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong is several times more powerful than Yuan Chonghuan's power. Even the supplies provided by Yuan Chonghuan must be nodded by Mao Wenlong. This involves a dispute over power and a dispute over interests, so fierce. Your Majesty, think twice!" Sun Chengzong had to come out to dissuade the emperor.

"Well, I know a little about this, but now the situation is urgent and should be urgent. If you can't leave it to Mao Wenlong, then I will find another person." Yang Jinge said.

"No, Your Majesty! I don't mean this, no! In addition to this, I also have another meaning. In addition to the great imbalance in power, it also involves great interests. Can Your Majesty know the word "drift or not"?" Sun Chengzong was anxious and repeatedly stopped the emperor. Seeing that he couldn't understand the emperor, he had to say this more core thing.

"Did you float? Haha, I know this, isn't it just greedy? I know..." Yang Jingai said with a smile.

"That's it, Your Majesty, since you know 'floating or not', how should you solve the word 'floating or not'?" Sun Chengzong frowned. He knew the problem here, but he didn't know how to solve it. This problem has been deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.

"How can I explain the word "drifting"?...Oh, Master Sun said, I have unified the power of the sea, will it be inconvenient for those corrupt officials to take action? Is it not convenient for them to 'drifting'?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Yang Jing, who is no longer a novice, also knows a lot about the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's right, Your Majesty, since Your Majesty knows where the word "Flue Wu" comes from, then can your Majesty solve the problem behind the Flue Wu?" Sun Chengzong did not frown. Since he had made it clear to the emperor, he simply took out his original background. With the intelligence of the current emperor, he might be able to solve this problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.

"Oh? What's the problem behind the fact that I didn't have?" Yang Jingang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the problem behind this drift is actually a problem that has troubled me for two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. This problem is considered the root problem of my Ming Dynasty. If this problem is not solved, drifting will always be a big problem and will never be solved. Although Your Majesty can suppress it with great force at this time, it is definitely not a long-term solution and will rebound in the future... Your Majesty should not forget that in fact, the navy that Your Majesty said is not a lack of naval corpses who control all matters at sea. Isn't the fleet of the Sanguard eunuch Zheng He the kind of naval corpses that His Majesty said? But where is he now?" Sun Chengzong simply spread his mind and spoke to the emperor.

"Well..., this is..." When it comes to Zheng He's fleet, it is indeed a maritime force that can control maritime affairs. That force can depose other countries in Nanyang, but with the death of Zhu Di, the fleet was left in nothing and completely disintegrated and abandoned.

"...Master Sun can explain in detail? What is the problem behind this drift? What is the root problem that has troubled me for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty?" Yang Jingwei asked Sun Chengzong again after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's extremely ugly to say. I'm afraid that I'll be tainted..." Sun Chengzong said here, and he was a little embarrassed.

"But it's okay." Yang Jiewei said that seeing Sun Chengzong's appearance, Yang Jiewei was even more curious.

"Your Majesty, the salary of our court has always been extremely low. If Your Majesty bans the drift, if this official lives on his salary alone, this..., to say something unpleasant, it would be extremely difficult. Your Majesty may have heard of the incident of Hai Ruihai Gangfeng. It would not be enough to eat two taels of meat a year. Eating meat once will be a strange thing by the court! Your Majesty, this should not be said, but I have to say that this is the root problem behind the drift, which has troubled me.

It has been two hundred years since the dynasty. If this problem is not solved, it is impossible to solve the problem of drifting. Therefore, I said that it is extremely difficult to unify the sea power in one person. Even if Your Majesty can suppress it with force now, it will definitely rebound day by day and will definitely return to the old path of today. The affairs of Chengzu are enough to explain the problem..." When Sun Chengzong said these words, his clear and serious face became a little embarrassed and blushed.

"Uh..." Yang Jing immediately understood what this problem was referring to. He let out a long sigh. This was really an unsolvable big problem. A long list of problems immediately entered Yang Jing's mind...

Speaking of the "navy" of the Ming Dynasty, we have to explain the strange "policies" of the dynasty. Without a navy, the sea area is controlled by each other. The smallest can go to the garrison station, the inspection department manages a section of the sea area, and the larger governor can manage a longer section of the sea area. However, whether it is a garrison station or a governor, they all have a common feature. The management scope of the navy is as large as the place where there are places that rely on the sea area of ​​the sea. There have never been a cross-regional or cross-sea area. When fighting, they are all responsible for the sea area of ​​their own territory. The navy must be under the direct jurisdiction of local bureaucrats rather than the central government. The problem of Japanese pirates, which had a great influence in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was actually a product of this policy. Some pirates composed of dozens and hundreds of people can make a country with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people helpless. It is really shameful. This "policy" is really stupid.

Even if a big war is going to be fought, it will be transferred from various places and then formed a temporary navy to fight. It is not a professional, fixed and permanent navy. After the war is over, the temporary navy has to be disbanded and returned to the local area. The Ming Dynasty did not raise maritime power to the national level or to the level of military services. From the current perspective, the Ming Dynasty's maritime power is the near-shore defensive maritime power under local control, or militia, militia navy.

As for the exception, it is Zheng He's fleet. However, the final fate of Zheng He's fleet was dismembered and abandoned in the end, which is really a pity. The reason for abandonment is also very real, wasting national treasury, wasting money and food, and the people were suffering. However, the actual situation was that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and his son were rich and could rival the country with the protection expenses of maritime trade. They could support hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, have the ability to rewrite history, become important figures that influenced the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and even raised a royal family in the Ming Dynasty to play with it. From this point of view, we can know how ridiculous and ridiculous the reason for abandoning Zheng He's fleet was.

The reason behind the real reality is actually very simple. The salary cannot afford to support people, so we can only rely on "drifting" and rely on corruption. As the saying goes, "living the mountains and relies on water to eat water. In addition to floating, there is also a more "money-making" sea trade. Therefore, this sea trade must be "drifting". Why do the emperor need so much money? Since the emperor does not send us money, we have to find money by ourselves. As for how the bureaucrats fooled the emperor at that time to abandon the navy and Zheng He fleet, the parties involved knew about it.

Zhu Di must have known that maritime trade is profitable, that it must have known the importance of establishing a navy, and that it has also been implemented, but he did not solve this problem, what should the salary of the official? If the official's salary cannot support himself, or if he cannot live a superior life, he will definitely extend his hands to a place with interests, and there will definitely be something missing. If he now follows Zhu Di's old path and suppresses this matter with a tough attitude, Yang Jingwei felt that with his current strength, he might be able to do this, but if he does not solve the problem of the salary of the official, he will definitely follow Zhu Di's old path.

When Yang Jing thought of himself as he wanted to give his biggest "enemy" - the bureaucratic class salary increase, he felt that the world was really wonderful. Thinking of this, Yang Jing could only smile awkwardly and helplessly. In addition to embarrassment and helplessness, it was more bitter, very, very bitter...

"Um..." Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The trouble behind the unification of sea power was indeed a big problem.

"Your Majesty understand?" Sun Chengzong's face was still a little embarrassed. This was really shameful. The bureaucrats who have always claimed to be kindness and incarnated by justice have their true faces.

"Well, I understand, the power of the sea must be unified, but the root problem of these two hundred years must be solved!" Yang Jing said bitterly, thinking about the money he finally got from the salt merchants, and now he actually wants to give those officials a raise... This is funny enough, how can it not be bitter?

"Your Majesty, Rong said, if Your Majesty unifies the maritime power, it will force the officials to a corner, which will inevitably cause a greater rebound. Your Majesty thinks that Your Majesty issued silver coins, abolished the fire consumption in many places, and then abolished the salt merchants. The benefits of the salt administration will be gone. If Your Majesty will "drift" again, Your Majesty, you have to think twice! Even if Your Majesty has the ability to suppress it today, it will definitely rebound even more in the future..." Seeing that the emperor was still determined to unify the maritime power, Sun Chengzong simply turned it out completely. Perhaps, the emperor really has a way, but this emperor who has been born in a hundred years, no, may be able to solve this problem. Sun Chengzong held such a slight hope.

"Uh..." Yang Jie felt much tired after hearing Sun Chengzong's words. This was indeed a big trouble. It was a big deal. It was like cooking a big country with a lot of fresh food. It was true. Adding one spoonful of salt would make it salty, and adding less salt would make it light. You can't do things by your own nature!

"...I understand..." Yang Jing smiled bitterly, really a bitter smile, but what followed was a more firm statement: "...I want to unify Hai Quan, and I have to solve the root problem behind this..."

In the end, Yang Jingwei was ambitious. What supported Yang Jingwei was the 30 to 40 million taels of silver he had just obtained, the prestige he had formed along the way, and the support of the army. With these, Yang Jingwei believed that he could solve this problem. No matter how bad he was, he could learn from Zhu Di, and at least he could suppress the problem when he was alive. I believe that for so many years, he should have the time and ability to solve the root problem that had been left for two hundred years. He just became an emperor and was much more difficult than now, and he was not afraid. It was unreasonable that he was afraid of such a lot of capital now.

"Your Majesty!" The emperor's ambition instantly shocked Sun Chengzong a little. Originally, the emperor would have stopped or seek a compromise. Unexpectedly, the emperor was confident that he would face the root problem that had left over for two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.

"...Your Majesty, I don't know how Your Majesty solves this problem?" Sun Chengzong asked curiously.

"Hahaha... I have a free way, fighting with the sky for endless fun, and fighting with people for endless fun!" Yang Jing smiled and tried hard to find the inspiration in his mind.

"Your Majesty wants a raise?" Sun Chengzong asked anxiously.

"Salary increase? Well, I really need a salary increase. How can I solve the problem of my Ming Dynasty for two hundred years without a salary increase?" Yang Jing took over the conversation, a little unwilling to accept it, and said helplessly that the salary of the Ming Dynasty is indeed a little lower now, and I don't expect to be able to support the integrity with a high salary. At least, this salary must also make officials have a minimum decent attitude, otherwise, it is necessary to be missed.

"Your Majesty, you must not get a raise at this time!" Sun Chengzong said anxiously.

"Oh, why?" Yang Jing asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, where does the money for the salary increase come from? Now that Your Majesty has just copied the family wealth of the salt merchant. If Your Majesty is anxious to give the officials a raise, how will the people in the world think of Your Majesty? If these gossips are promoted by someone who is interested, they are not flying all over the sky? His Majesty's reputation is extremely unfavorable!" Sun Chengzong said anxiously, telling the emperor the seriousness of the matter. The root problem in these two hundred years is not so easy to solve.

"Uh..." Yang Jie suddenly felt like he wanted to die. Even a salary increase was so troublesome, and it was even more bitter. What was going on with me? He had to dig out his mind to raise his "enemy" and beware of his "enemy" spreading rumors to him. What was he doing? Is he cheap? He should learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and cut off their heads like mowed grass... He thought that those heads that were cut off like leeks, and soon grew out to let him cut them again. Yang Jie felt even more powerless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Sun Chengzong shouted several times in front of the emperor with a very bitter expression, fearing that the problem he had caused would scare the emperor.
