He summoned Zheng Zhilong and specially set up Ryuqiu Town, promoted him to general, and founded the Han Alliance, and asked Zheng Sen to go to Beijing to study as the prince's companion. It was just a transaction by Emperor Chongzhen.

At this stage, the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to explore the outside world.

The maritime power of the Ming Dynasty was too poor and too weak.

It is very good to be able to maintain the Pan-Liaodong strategy and ensure the stability of Fujian.

However, with the deepening of opening and trading in Tianjin, the number of European countries that went north to trade will inevitably increase over time.

If overseas forces in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, England and other countries were called overseas forces to understand the maritime strength of the Ming Dynasty, then these barbarians wearing gentlemen's skin would definitely open their bloody mouths and bite them hard on the Ming Dynasty.

Closed to the country is death.

Opening a sea and commerce is a living thing.

Emperor Chongzhen must prepare for the future, think of strategies to solve these problems first, and seize time, which is what the Ming Dynasty must do in all areas.

New policies, quelling rebellion, taxation, technology, new learning, army, navy...

Just many levels that can be imagined require a stable order to ask Emperor Chongzhen to gradually seek reform, especially Tianjin's opening of sea trade, which also involves customs taxes, economic development, grain supply, productivity improvement and other aspects.

Do it anyway.

superior

So Zheng Zhilong was taken out by Emperor Chongzhen and first used his overwhelming wealth to guard the southern gate of the Ming Dynasty.

As for how the power under Zheng Zhilong's command will expand in the future, let's see you again. Emperor Chongzhen did not feel that his personal power could resist the Ming Dynasty after he was seeking reform.

Only by being vigilant can one move forward.

From the moment Zheng Zhilong forced his inner joy and stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, he became the whetstone of the Ming Navy without knowing it.

Zheng Zhilong's entry and departure from Beijing did not have any impact on the capital. After all, the civil and military officials in the court had no idea about this unknown person at all.

However, after Zheng Zhilong went to Tianjin, the navy power under Zheng Zhifeng will be added to the western Liaoning command, which will make a different change.

"Prince, Master Bi Ge asks for a visit."

Wang Chengen lowered his head and walked into the hall to reveal his story.

"Prince."

Emperor Chongzhen was concise and concise.

As the situation gradually opened up, Emperor Chongzhen became more and more busy. Although most of the government affairs were sent to the cabinet, Emperor Chongzhen was in charge of the plans he valued.

But even so, it's still very busy.

"I... I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"No gift."

Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen and saw that Bi Ziyan's face was filled with excitement and joy, and his eyebrows were raised slightly.

"Bi Qing, what's the matter here to meet?"

"Your Majesty, I have reported this interview with you to report the taxes, customs duties and other matters imposed by the Ministry of Revenue. Judging from the current situation, the treasury will increase its income by more than 4 million taels of silver this year."

As he said that, Bi Ziyan picked up the memorial he held. Seeing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward, took the memorial, and submitted it to the emperor.

"More than four million taels of silver?"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, took the memorial and began to read it carefully.

"That's right!"

Bi Ziyan couldn't hide his excitement and said: "The opening of Zhangjiakou and the addition of the State Taxation Department of the Ministry of Revenue have made good progress, especially the opening of Zhangjiakou.

Since the establishment of the 13th quota, the number of merchants gathered here has increased, and the scale of tea, silk, salt and other goods sold is very large.

Tumote, Chahar, Kalaqin and other grassland forces have achieved mutual trading results, and there are even a lot of trade exchanges in Hetao..."

Listening to what Bi Ziyan said, Emperor Chongzhen's face was even more smiling, which was very necessary for the grassland forces of the nomadic people to supplement their daily needs.

Especially tea and silk are always what the grassland tribes need most, the former is for health and the latter is for faith.

In order to blockade and sanction the Jianlu forces, the Wanli Dynasty simply closed the Queguan and Ma market, which not only caused the Ming Dynasty to lose an important source of wealth, but also caused the northern border towns to be attacked by grasslands.

Fan Yongdou, a group of traitors, took this opportunity to make a fortune in the national crisis, which not only prevented Jianlu from being sanctioned, but also caused the Ming Dynasty to increase its expenditure costs a lot.

"There is never wrong in policies, the wrong people, methods and methods."

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial and looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "According to the current trend, this memorial from the Ministry of Revenue shows that it will increase its income by more than 4 million taels of silver this year.

There is indeed no problem.

However, Bi Qing, you should pay special attention to the supervision of the Ministry of Justice. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision to avoid prohibited products such as iron, firearms and gunpowder, and export them to the outside world.

Of course, I will also arrange personnel to conduct more secret inspections on the factory guards.

The eight great thieves led by the Fan family must never happen again, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would reopen the pass, which would be a disaster for raising a tiger."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Bi Ziyan bowed and replied: "In response to the supervision of the customs, the Ministry of Revenue has clarified some new regulations, and will even participate in the supervision with the Censorate.

If you want to have a good policy from the beginning, the court cannot relax its vigilance.

Just like the Military Affairs Office, abolished a group of Beijing Guards. Although it caused a lot of criticism in the DPRK, in my opinion, this is a good strategy to benefit the people and the country.

The key is how to do it.”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled with gratitude. The fact that some of the reforms he promoted could be recognized by ministers like Bi Ziyan, means that the path he was taking was right.

The Ming Dynasty, what can never be avoided, is always a financial issue.

The money in the treasury is very abundant now, but it is not the treasury after all.

“Well said.”

Emperor Chongzhen praised: "I feel much more at ease with Bi Qing in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and being the best steward of finance for me.

The current income and expenditure of the State and the DPRK are still unbalanced, and there are even many gaps.

But now there have been good changes. At least the national treasury inventories have increased, and the first batch of war bonds, even if they really expire, can be effectively resolved."

For Emperor Chongzhen, what he had to do now was to no longer bear the pressure of financial issues by himself, but to share it with the shoulders of officials in the department.

Carry it alone.

Many people carry it.

These are completely two different concepts and results.

At least in this way, the obstacles encountered when implementing some new policies will not be as great as before.

Continuous infiltration and subtle transformation are far more effective than the vigorous reform. After all, no matter who is in your hands, you will not want to lose your hands easily.

This conversation with Bi Ziyan made Emperor Chongzhen see the gradual improvement of the Ming Dynasty's finances. This is much more practical than winning a battle on the battlefield!
