Zhu Youjian's words made both important officials bet on him.

Both of them knew that although the emperor was young, judging from the strategies that have been proposed in various aspects such as military, politics, and people's livelihood over the past few years, they have always been far-reaching, and their effects are often surprisingly good. These good effects have subtly changed some of the old chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty, making today's Ming Dynasty look like an ancient tree in spring, and has been full of vitality from all aspects.

"Far from a distance and attack near, this is a legacy of ancestors. Practice has proved that these four words are indeed feasible. This time, because the Western Special Envoy came to the east, it gave me this opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, because the Dutch and the Great Buddha Langji have a deep grudge, I intend to implement this policy with their two countries!"

Although Zhu Youjian was not familiar with foreign history, this did not prevent him from knowing about the famous sea coachman in the 17th century.

To be honest, before the end of the 17th century, the Netherlands was the overlord of the world's oceans. If it weren't for the defeat of Britain and France at the end of the century, the Netherlands might have created a more brilliant civilization.

The Netherlands, with a small land area, will not become an opponent of the Ming Dynasty, but should become a partner and friend.

The Dutch's aggression attributes were far inferior to those of Spain, Britain and France, which was closely related to the system in which the merchants took power.

When businessmen seek profit, they always think of using negotiations to resolve the problem instead of using brutal and huge profits to resolve the problem.

Moreover, the Netherlands does not have many colonies in various places. Most of the time, just like in Taiwan, occupying a certain area, and its role is equivalent to trade transfer stations and strongholds. This fully demonstrates that it does not have the characteristics of being too strong and aggressive.

Of course, this is also closely related to the low population of the Netherlands.

Until the end of the 17th century, the total population of the Netherlands was only more than 2 million, and now it is the early and mid-17th century. As Zou Weilian just said, the total population of the Netherlands is now less than 1.5 million. This limited population resource cannot support it to launch a large-scale war against other countries.

The reason why Zhu Youjian suddenly wanted to become a partner with the Netherlands was that he valued its world-leading shipbuilding technology.

During this period, the number of ships in Europe was only 20,000, while the Netherlands itself occupied 70% of them. The merchant ships of the Netherlands and the East India Company sailed all over the world, and thus won the title of sea coachman.

The comprehensive opening of maritime ban and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's own ocean navy is the strategy that Zhu Youjian will implement next.

When Zheng Zhilong was already afraid of Wei Huaide, it was time to let go of his hands and feet. However, before this, we should give the Zheng family a chance to make a default, it depends on whether Zheng Zhilong knew it or not.

Judging from Zheng Zhilong's fate in history, he would most likely bow his head in the face of powerful force in order to preserve his glory and wealth and prosperity.

The Zheng family is so rich.

Since destroying many competitors such as Liu Xiang, the Zheng family has dominated the Ming Hai Trade for many years. The wealth it has accumulated is not only as rich as a country, but as wealth as a country.

Although Zhu Youjian's personal wealth has also expanded rapidly in recent years, it is still a big deal compared to Zheng Zhilong.

Once there is too much wealth, most people will choose to gain political status and personal reputation so that they can better protect their property. But at the same time, many rich people will become timid and cautious, and lose the heroism and courage when they created wealth back then. Zheng Zhilong is a typical example, which is also the most important reason why Zhu Youjian did not intend to take action against him at all.

Furthermore, as the Ming Dynasty gradually became revived, the Zheng family became more and more obedient. Whether it was purchasing grain ore overseas to make up for the Ming Dynasty's own needs, or to recruit more than a dozen ships to train soldiers who landed across the sea for free, the Zheng family was doing their best.

To be honest, Zheng Zhilong, the new count, made a sharp contrast with the old nobles who enjoyed the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years but pretended to be deaf and dumb at critical moments. Since Zhu Youjian planned to learn from Zhu Laosi, preferential treatment of Zheng is the best example for the warriors.

"I wonder what the priest has? Can you hear about it?"

Chen Qiyu asked with his hands.

"What Chen Qing said is that besides the affairs in the palace, I can say that everything is impossible to talk to others. Since the two beloved ministers presided over the visit of the two envoys, it would be a good idea to get the opportunity done.

Just now, both of the two beloved ministers expressed their favor for the Netherlands, and their country seemed to be a country of etiquette. I think such a country should be dealt with based on the principle of friendship and mutual benefit.

Both of my dear friends know that the profits of maritime trade are huge. Whether it is the large and small sea merchants in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or the Jinghaibo family, they make a lot of profits in maritime trade.

On the other hand, our Ming Dynasty court had nothing but boundless seas, but it was never able to make profits from them to feed the people. This could be said to have gone deep into Baoshan but returned empty-handed. This move is both regretful and ridiculous.

The essence is that there is a small group of officials and gentry who are under the banner of disobeying the ancestral system and have no reason to obstruct the full liberalization of the sea ban, but they themselves are making crazy profits without restraint.

Think about it, wouldn’t these people treat me and you as brainless puppets to humiliate them? You are all the great men of the time, so how could you let them play with them?!

Therefore, I decided to fully lift the maritime ban, and the court took back the jurisdiction of various ports. While comprehensively building and maintaining port facilities and providing high-quality services to maritime merchants, it sets up customs and collects commercial taxes to feed back the people of the Ming Dynasty with its benefits, so that the court can have more wealth to support the construction of various people's livelihoods and maintain a strong army to prepare for unwarranted border troubles!"

Facing the two important officials who listened intently, Zhu Youjian expressed his initial vision with a serious expression. Chen Qiyu and Zou Weilian both looked thoughtful after hearing this.

In fact, the emperor's idea of ​​opening the sea in full has begun to be implemented. Tianjin Wei Wai Customs is a signal. Under the strong suppression of the Jinyiwei, the gentry groups that bully the weak and fear the strong did not dare to let go of one of them in the end, just like in the Grand Canal Chaoguan, they all obediently paid taxes according to the rules.

They were also very clear that the emperor with huge reputation, such as holding several powerful troops in hand and holding the thieves and destroying the enemy, was not afraid of the so-called Jiangnan gentry group. The reason why he had not issued an order to open up the sea in full was that the Zheng family was only concerned about.

Among the new cabinet members, there are mainly people from the north or officials from Huguang, Jiangxi and other places. There are basically no ones who have any connection or connection with the Jiangnan Gentlemen Group. The only one who is from Zhejiang is still a lonely minister standing in the court. This cleared the biggest obstacle for the emperor's next series of policies against the Jiangnan Group.

The emperor's control over the court was obviously targeted. It can be seen that he had seen clearly the essence of the decline in the Ming Dynasty's national strength. The Jiangnan region where the Ming Dynasty's wealth gathered had seriously affected the stability of the imperial power and the regime. Most of the wealth that should belong to the court fell into the pockets of a small number of people. In the case where most of the internal and external troubles were eliminated, it was time for these money and grain to change the distribution mechanism.
