Of course Zheng Zhilong knew the great changes in the Ming Dynasty after Emperor Shenwu took over the country.

It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do to destroy the Jiannu, suppress the bandits, and unify Mongolia, let alone do it in less than two years, unless Ziwei Emperor Xing is reincarnated.

Hearing his son say that Emperor Shenwu was going to deal with the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong was frightened. He stood up, grabbed Zheng Sen's arm and said:

"My son is the Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy. It can be seen that Emperor Shenwu attaches great importance to you. My son must speak kindly to Emperor Shenwu. I hope he can let my Zheng family go. Otherwise, where will the tens of thousands of sons go?"

Seeing that his father was a little panicked, Zheng Sen said:

"Father, Emperor Shenwu is not a ruthless person. His starting point is the country of Ming Dynasty. My son came here just under the orders of the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor asked the Zheng family navy to be merged into the Ming Dynasty Navy, and my father went to the Ming Dynasty Royal Naval Academy as the deputy director. He mainly used your experience to train future naval generals for the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, his father was also the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's offshore fleet, mainly responsible for offshore security and various smuggling activities. The officers and soldiers of the offshore fleet were all composed of Zheng Jiaerlang.

But the father must constrain them to abide by the law. Once someone is found to be bending the law, taking bribes, or bending the law for personal gain, Emperor Shenwu will destroy his entire family. The father must remember this.

Finally, there is the huge commercial fleet of our Zheng family. Emperor Shenwu requested that it be merged into the Royal Group. The Royal Group will grant a certain number of shares based on the valuation and will distribute dividends based on the shares every year.

Of course, Emperor Shenwu would not force all the Zheng family merchant ships to merge into the royal group.

After the maritime ban is lifted, the Zheng family can choose to go overseas to do business on their own, but the business tax must be paid in full."

When Zheng Sen said this, he paused for a moment, and then said cautiously:

"Father, I once heard Emperor Shenwu say: Wherever the rivers go and where the sun and the moon shine, they are all Han.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably go to sea to colonize and seize overseas resources. The Royal Group was founded by Emperor Shenwu.

In the future, with the support of the powerful Ming army, we will definitely gain great opportunities and benefits.

My child thinks that my Zheng family’s investment in the Royal Group is a hundred times better than doing it alone. I hope my father will think twice!”

Zheng Sen made the situation clear and tried to persuade his father. He, who was not good at talking, felt that he had almost finished what he had to say in his life today. He just hoped that his father would not go to extremes.

Of course, if his father insists on having his own way, Zheng Sen will also draw a clear line with him.

It’s not that Zheng Sen is ruthless, everything he does is for Emperor Shenwu and China!

Historically, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to establish slavery, but Zheng Sen took another path and insisted on continuing to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

In Zheng Zhilong's heart, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have always guarded the cornucopia and cried about having no money.

They don't know that the profits from maritime trade are no less than the annual income from food grown on the ground.

Now the little emperor heard the news from nowhere and actually wants to take advantage of the Zheng family!

The Zheng family mainly collects protection fees through maritime trade. Although it can earn tens of millions of taels of silver annually, Zheng Zhilong mostly distributes it to his generals and clan members for profit distribution.

Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Zheng Sen persuaded him again:

"Father, under the care of Emperor Shenwu, our Zheng family now has one family and two marquises.

It can be said that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were very few people with two marquises in one family. It seems that only the descendants of Xu Da surpassed our Zheng family.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty's navy will definitely sweep across all directions, and it is possible for children to be made Dukes at that time.

The Zheng family was originally a pirate family and had always been looked down upon by the wealthy southern families.

And many years later, our Zheng family has completely become the first-class nobles of the Ming Dynasty. Who in the world dares to look down on us.
