On the one hand, the big families and big businessmen in the southeastern coastal areas strongly opposed the lifting of the sea ban and firmly supported the imperial court's sea ban policy. On the other hand, these big families and big businessmen made a lot of money from sea trade, and they were just like salt merchants.

group.

They all rely on monopoly to make money.

These big families and businessmen support spokesmen in the court, support the sea ban, and resolutely do not allow the sea ban. On the other hand, they collude with pirates and Japanese pirates. What other families and businessmen go to sea are afraid that someone will share their interests.

Zhang Mao saw the profits of sea trade, and now he was no longer satisfied with just taking the routes of Korea and Japan. He wanted to go to Southeast Asia, and even to the Indian Ocean, to earn more and higher profits.

But this will touch the interests of the big families and businessmen in the Jiangnan area, and they will definitely react.

"Treasure Island~ This location is so critical. Perhaps the next thing we should do is to develop Treasure Island. We should develop Treasure Island first."

Soon, Liu Jin's eyes were fixed on the treasure island.

At this time, Treasure Island was still a wild land. Due to the implementation of maritime bans by the Ming Dynasty, in 1387, the residents of Treasure Island were moved to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, which was regarded as completely abandoning Treasure Island.

This is also the reason why the Dutch were able to occupy Treasure Island later, because the Ming Dynasty court did not pay attention to Treasure Island at all. It was a barbarian land, and there were very few Han people on it. In addition, due to the sea ban, no one went to sea.

"Moreover, developing Treasure Island can strengthen the connection between Treasure Island and consolidate our Ming Dynasty's own territory. In the future, Treasure Island will be used as a bridgehead to enter Japan and North Korea, and then to Southeast Asia and Australia. It will serve multiple purposes with one stone."

"We must build up Treasure Island first~"

Soon, Liu Jin's eyes were fixed on the treasure island, and he began to think about the best way to develop the treasure island. If people are attracted to develop the treasure island, this is the key.
