Zhang Jingyi looked speechless.

He vaguely felt that Emperor Aoki seemed to be showing off something.

Is the happiness of rich people?

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty, I am not good at interpreting dreams."

Emperor Tianqi said, "Oh, it's okay, next time I'll find someone who is good at this, and ask. By the way, where is Zhang Qing living now."

"After my mansion was blown up, there was no place to live. Now I will only live in the house. But my poor father, who was buying that house, ran around... I spent countless money and thoughts. Who knew that these damn thieves actually bombed the mansion. Now my father had to live in the house of relatives and friends, and I am the son."

"This is easy to deal with." Seeing Zhang Jingyi's poor, Emperor Tianqi was almost moved and immediately said: "I don't have much now, but there are too many houses that have been confiscated. Then the mansion of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen is very good. Just ask someone to repair it, find a life, and move it in. This is given to you. Or, if you like someone's mansion, you tell me, it's not a big deal. As long as it's not the Forbidden City or the West Garden, you can just take it."

Zhang Jing felt relieved all of a sudden and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is so kind that I am grateful for it, but... it's not good to do this. After all, many mansions have masters."

Emperor Tianqi said coldly Ruohanshuang: "In my opinion, there is no mansion with a master but no master? Just like a minister, there are only those who are convicted and searched, and those who are about to be convicted and searched."

Have confidence.

Zhang Jingyi didn't dare to follow Emperor Tianqi to make trouble, so he said, "It's good that this is the mansion of Duke of the Kingdom, I have always liked it."

This is the truth. Zhu Chunchen cares about enjoyment. His Chengguo Duke Mansion covers a large area and has carved beams and painted buildings. The most important thing is that his mansion has not been blown up. Except for calligraphy, paintings and furniture, everything else is still intact, and it is simply moving in with a bag. Just change the plaque in front of the house from Dingguo Duke Mansion to Liao Duke Mansion.

Emperor Tianqi said, "Okay, aren't I afraid of being unlucky? But if you like it, I'll give it to you. If you like it, you don't have to be polite to tell me which mansion you like in the future..."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Thank you for your grace."

When I returned that day, two days later, news came out of the capital.

Then, many merchants in this commercial district, as well as the east and west cities were in full bloom.

Zhang Jingyi felt that these merchants were looking for someone to ask questions as if they had taken guns and drugs.

I only found out that more than a dozen large ships in Tianjin Wei were docking, carrying a load of cargo, a large number of rare spices, ivory and other rare goods. These things were of great value, and it was also rumored that they brought gold and silver from several ships.

Now, Tianjin Wei has started to sell ivory and spices directly on bulk.

Many businesses think this is a business opportunity. It will definitely be profitable to traffic these rare spices and ivory everywhere in the world.

Many merchants were moved and had sent people to Tianjin Wei to inquire.

The next day, Zhang San returned to the court.

When Zhang Jing heard that the third uncle was back, he was quite excited.

Then he also entered the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Tianqi sat upright.

Then Zhang San met.

Zhang Sanyi looked dark and thin. He wore this newly changed court uniform, but he felt a bit like a monkey-like crown. He looked loose and didn't look like an official at all.

Emperor Tianqi smiled: "Your family has suffered, come and give you a seat."

Zhang San thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He was tepid and very decent, and then he leaned down and sat down.

Emperor Tianqi said: "How will you get when you go out to sea this time?"

"Your Majesty, you have gained a lot. My fleet has arrived in the West, near Malacca..."

The West here is actually the Southeast Asian Sea in later generations. It has nothing to do with Europe, it is just Southeast Asia.

And Malacca is probably in Malaysia.

"Another ship team was sent to continue sailing and arrived at the Indian port. The large amount of silk and porcelain brought by me had long been loved by the Franchise, the English, the Netherlands, and the princes of Western countries and the Indian countries, and the princes of the Indian countries were also loved by me. Therefore, the selling price was extremely high. This time the ship returned with a full load and received more than 4.3 million taels of silver. In addition, I also brought back a large amount of spices, ivory, agate, and other items, which had not been sold yet. According to my prediction, I was afraid that I would get silver, and there were more than one million taels of silver."

"One trip will bring you a profit of five million taels of silver?" Emperor Tianqi was stunned, feeling incredible.

This was the treasury income in the past year.

Zhang Sanze said with a smile: "At the beginning, the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were very terrible. There were no less than tens of thousands of pirates and Japanese pirates entrenched on the sea. From the West to the East, countless people lived in the islands and reefs in this barren land. Your Majesty... Do you know what they had to survive at the beginning? In fact, looting is only a part. The vast majority of people are also engaged in smuggling and shipping. The great benefits in this sea can be seen. If the silk purchased here is three taels of silver, it will be

It can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, and that's it... and it has to be bought at rush, but if the silk is transported to the city of Goa in India, the price can reach more than seventy taels. This is because the princes of the Indians are even more luxurious and wealthy. If the fleet can continue to set out and arrive at Franchise and the Netherlands. I heard that... the price is even more expensive. There are even many nobles of Franchise people who use our porcelain plates, which we usually use to serve dishes, hung on the walls as decorations, and are reluctant to take them for meals."

Emperor Tianqi was excited and said excitedly: "In this way, just one sea trade, five million taels of silver will be recorded every year, right?"

Zhang Sandao: "It depends on the situation. Shipping is risky after all, but I think that as long as it can be properly managed, the future benefits will only increase. Now countries are not unavailable for shipping to make profits, and use this to strengthen themselves. For example, the Netherlands is just a small country, but by shipping, and now they have already dominated the world and all continents."

Emperor Tianqi felt more and more incredible, and he couldn't help but say, "Why didn't I find such a benefit before?"

Zhang San smiled and said, "Your Majesty, people always have to earn the benefits of this sea. If the court prohibits the sea, they will not earn this money, so naturally, the Franchise will make money. Otherwise, the Franchise will come to the seas of our Ming Dynasty. Is it a good thing to do? Not only the Franchise, but also private merchants on the southeast coast, but also rampant smuggling. His Majesty naturally cannot see how much money they have earned."

Emperor Tianqi seemed to have been opened with a new door. He just glanced at the door. Good guy, it turned out that there were mountains of gold and silver. The problem is that the emperors of previous dynasties didn’t know that there were mountains of gold and silver hidden here?

Emperor Tianqi began to realize that there might be many people around him, constantly warning him, saying that His Majesty should not look inside, as there are poisonous snakes and beasts inside, which will harm the world. If someone really has to look at it, he will be dragged by countless people and pull you away desperately.

"But..." Zhang San continued to talk about it: "There is a problem now, which makes me very worried."

Emperor Apocalypse said, "Come and listen."

"The Netherlands and Franchise people have become increasingly influential in the West. Although they are thousands of miles away, their minions have already penetrated into the Western countries. Even Japan is greatly influenced by the Netherlands. As for the Ming Dynasty, did not Macau and Little Liuqiu beneath the wings of the Netherlands and Franchise people? They monopolized the entire Western trade and were not to be affected by others. Therefore, if people want to engage in maritime trade, they must trade with them. Otherwise, they may be hostile."

"A mere group of Dutch people and Franchise people is afraid it's not enough to worry about it."

Zhang San seemed very cautious. He shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Although they are very far away from the Ming Dynasty and are beyond the reach, there are many ships here, but they may not be able to restrain their fleets. However, these people are extremely greedy. Once the Ming Dynasty fleet squeezes out their interests, they will stop them wildly. And this... for the Ming Dynasty, it is really a big problem."

After a pause, Zhang San said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. These people have created many strange things that look incredible, but when they think about it carefully, they find it terrible. For example, the Netherlands actually went to Macau where Francis is located and opened a bank. The name is, Your Majesty may be familiar with it, called East India Bank."

“What is a bank?”

"It's the money house."

Emperor Tianqi felt strange and couldn't help laughing: "What harm is there in a mere money house?"

"The awesomeness is here. Your Majesty, for a large number of merchants from all over the country, carrying a large amount of gold and silver out and running boats is very dangerous. Therefore, these people rely on their credit to provide savings of gold and silver, and took real money and stored it in the bank. In this way, they can attract a large amount of funds out of thin air. But... gold and silver are dead things, how can they make a profit? They lend these gold and silver to East India companies in various countries. East India companies have obtained this large amount of gold

Yin, then continued to recruit people, expand ships, and open up new routes. In this way, their strength will continue to improve. Your Majesty... They borrowed banks, leveraged their strength, and used one or two silver coins, but they did ten silver coins. Turning around, they became stronger and stronger, and their strength expanded wildly. Perhaps now, I, the Ming Dynasty, can compete with them, but if they continue to grow like them, I am only afraid that they will fly a thousand miles sooner or later, and even my Ming Dynasty is beyond the reach."

Zhang San said it very seriously. The various ways of playing the Franchise and the Netherlands made him feel very vigilant. In Zhang San's opinion, the so-called strong ships and powerful guns of the Dutch and the Franchise are actually not scary. The Ming Dynasty can also recruit the best craftsmen and use the most advanced firearms. It is not scary that sailors cannot train as much as they do, because as long as you go a few more trips, you will be proficient, but the bank is too powerful.

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help but become alert. He began to slowly digest Zhang San's words, so he chewed Zhang San's words carefully and remained silent.
