Chapter 260: Huang En is mighty

Many of the actions of Emperor Apocalypse are indeed strange to those who are so-called abiding by tradition.

However, Sun Chengzong was not so conservative. Of course, those who have read books for their whole life still felt that Emperor Tianqi had many things that should not be said.

But so what, I can't change it!

Once you get used to it, just accept it slowly.

Emperor Tianqi was still very excited and ordered Zhang Jingyi to stay, while others bowed one after another.

After everyone left, only Emperor Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Jingyi were left behind. Emperor Tianqi said: "What do you think of Zhang San?"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "I don't know what Brother Wei thinks."

Wei Zhongxian was actually the most capable of guessing the thoughts of Emperor Tianqi, saying: "Your Majesty, the court has released Zhao'an's imperial list, but so far, only Zhang Sanken has sincerely served. The pirates are overseas, unlike inland. There are kingly laws in the inland, but after going to the sea, they will be lawless. It is rare that Zhang San still has loyalty and righteousness in his heart, so I think that he should give more sweetness to this Zhang San."

Wei Zhongxian paused and continued: "On the one hand, it means that the court is generous, and secondly, it is also to show the other pirates to let them know that Your Majesty has not blamed him and is willing to treat the people overseas equally."

"Also, Zhang San brought thousands of people to the ashore, and most of them were good people in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they were just so good people who could not survive, so they went into the sea to become pirates. Now that they are so conscious, what the court has to do now is to settle the place safely, especially the elderly, weak, women and children, who must not be neglected. In this way, the men saw that His Majesty was so generous, so they naturally tried their best to work for the death. I have also studied the East India Company that anyone who went into the sea to travel on the boat would put their heads on their belts. It is said that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If these people use them well, they will naturally share the worries of His Majesty. If they are not good at using them, they are afraid that they will go into the sea to become thieves again."

Wei Zhongxian immediately said lightly: "If they go into the sea again or have any barriers with the court, I am afraid that the maritime trade policy will not be implemented, and the people in the world will also laugh at Your Majesty."

If maritime trade cannot be implemented, it means losing interests.

People in the world are just laughing at each other, they lose face.

This last sentence can be said to hit the nail on the head of Emperor Aoki.

Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Wei Fanbao said it well. This matter...is important. These people must be placed safely and show the court's lenientness. I have been thinking about it. Wei Fanbao, you have to worry about this matter."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Zhang Jingyi sat aside and thought to himself that Wei Zhongxian clearly wanted to win over Zhang San.

Is it just because Zhang San speaks nicely?

Obviously not just that. Wei Zhongxian is an extremely smart person. Thinking about it, he began to see it.

Wei Zhongxian was able to win the trust of His Majesty. On the one hand, Emperor Tianqi valued feelings, and on the other hand, Wei Zhongxian was able to truly bring benefits to the emperor. For example, under tremendous pressure in recent years, Wei Zhongxian released many eunuchs in custody, allowing these eunuchs to collect mine taxes everywhere in the world.

The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty was that if the taxes were not collected, it would mean that the emperor would suffer poverty, and even the Liao pay would have to be owed.

But Wei Zhongxian can collect taxes, although these taxes are dropping off the bucket, it is always better than nothing.

To put it bluntly, this is timely help and life-saving money.

And this time, Wei Zhongxian quickly realized that His Majesty’s decision might be right. Haimao may really make money. Not to mention the East India Company stocks that were sought after by countless people, if there were no huge benefits, how would those Florians and the Dutch people in the Netherlands compete to buy stocks at a high price?

Just talking about Zhang San, a good guy, he directly contributed goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

This is just one of the pirates. If the Ming Dynasty monopolized the maritime trade, wouldn’t this mean that the Ming Dynasty had an additional treasure pot and a lot of money?

Wei Zhongxian knew the importance of wealth to Emperor Tianqi, but he needed a grasp. Only by firmly grasping the sea trade through the eunuchs appointed by him like the mining tax, then his power would be as stable as a rock.

In Wei Zhongxian's view, Zhang San is a good tool. As long as he wins over him, he will be responsible for expanding maritime trade and bringing wealth to the emperor continuously!

As for Wei Zhongxian, he generously promoted Zhang San and eliminated various hidden dangers. He would naturally be devoted to Wei Zhongxian. In terms of sea trade, even if Zhang Jingyi had already made a fuss, Wei Zhongxian could still control a large part of it, and His Majesty naturally relied on Wei Zhongxian even more.

Zhang Jingyi had to admire Wei Zhongxian's vision and decisiveness. He may have limitations in other places, but in this regard, he is simply a fighter among the hens.

Of course, Zhang San is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. Zhang Jingyi can see that Zhang San is a loach. Although he is not insidious and cunning, he can kill people after going into the sea and saying that he wants to land. Those rebellious pirates will not hesitate to follow his orders!

What does this mean? He has strong organizational skills.

When he arrived in the capital, he also showed that he was very accurate in his viewing of things. Such a person... God knows what kind of person he will become in the future.

At least, in just a few moments, Zhang Zhongxian became his own person, and his relationship with Zhang Jingyi seemed to be good.

Now, it has left a deep impression in the heart of Emperor Tianqi. It’s only one day.

Zhang Jingyi suddenly felt that although he had the advantage of a time traveler, he had some shortcomings in this regard.

Zhang Jingyi has always been good at learning, well... if you have time, you have to learn it well.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi said: "I am not at ease when those old and weak are placed in other places, so I am worried about the oppression of officials... Otherwise, I will place them in Xinxian County. I am most at ease with Zhang Qing."

He looked at Zhang Jingyi and said, "Zhang Qing will deal with this matter."

Zhang Jingyi naturally responded: "I obey the order."

Emperor Tianqi sighed and said, "I will say it again, I will not take such risks again. I will never take such risks again in the future."

Zhang Jingyi naturally understood that Emperor Tianqi was sincerely concerned about him, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm, and said, "I just wanted to share the worries for Your Majesty at that time, and I had no concerns about the consequences. Now I think about it, I am really a little scared."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and comforted again: "You are afraid now, so it's good to know."

After saying that, he stood up, his smile softened, and he said enthusiastically: "Follow me to go to Concubine Zhang, let's go see the immortality together."

"Ah..." Zhang Jing said: "I'm afraid... it's not good."

Emperor Tianqi said disapprovingly: "You are a royal relative, so what's the obstacle?"

Zhang Jingyi said in embarrassment: "I am actually afraid that someone will gossip."

Emperor Aoki shook his head: "Actually, if you don't go, there are people who are gossiping. The mouth is on others. Can you care about it?"

Zhang Jingyi was also happy. When he arrived at Zhang Fei's bedroom, Zhang Suhua was naturally overjoyed when he saw Zhang Jingyi. He was just in a way that Emperor Tianqi had no choice but to say anything.

The Changsheng came to him, but he had not seen him for many days. His size suddenly grew much longer and he began to smile when he saw people.

Emperor Aoki danced and teased for a while, and said happily: "Look, it's exactly the same as me, not only that, but also very smart."

Zhang Jing looked horizontally and couldn't see a very smart look.

Of course, after all, he was his nephew, so Zhang Jingyi nodded seriously: "Yes, he smiled when he saw me, which shows that he still remembers me, he is so smart."

Changsheng just keeps holding his own hand and stretching out.

Emperor Aoki thought his little hand wanted to hold him, so he hurriedly reached out.

Who knew that Changsheng tried hard to stuff his little fist into his mouth? It seemed that he was satisfied in his heart, and curled up happily and ignored the things outside.

…………

When Zhang San left the palace, officials from the Ministry of Rites were waiting outside. The officials of the Ministry of Rites asked him to take a break for a while.

Zhang San said to the human, "I'll walk around for a while. It's the first time I'm here on land. I want to take a look around."

The officials who accompanied the Ministry of Rites found it funny in their hearts. Such pirates had never seen any world before, so they came to the capital and wanted to wander around.

Now, Zhang San obviously has the status of a good citizen, and according to various signs, he should have obtained an official position, so the man said, "Then transfer two soldiers to you."

Zhang San didn't say anything, knowing that if there was no one in the ministry, the people from the Ministry of Rites would not be at ease.

However, the two men came with reluctance. When Zhang San each gave them a silver ingot, they cheered up and became enthusiastic all of a sudden.

"Where is Mr. Zhang going to go, why not go to the Gongyuan, which is lively."

"There is a temple nearby...there is the most incense..."

Zhang San said, "I just want to take a walk around, yes, when I was in the sea, I heard that there was a place in the capital called Qingpingfang... I wanted to go and take a look."

After hearing this, the two men looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said, "When it comes to Qingpingfang, then ask the right place, which is also very lively. Since that's the case, my brothers and I will go with Mr. Zhang."

Zhang San smiled: "I'm working."

But inadvertently, Zhang San's eyes seemed a little wet.

Fortunately, he had left his head and didn't notice it.

These two officers were chattering, introducing the customs and customs along the way.

Zhang San said: "I heard that the place in Qingpingfang is lived by some orphans of the factory guards. I don't know what's going on now?"
