Chapter 460

Xu Qing wanted to go back the next day. Fang woke up and asked him to wait.

After seeing Fang Xing's energy, Xu qinghen couldn't immediately go back to expand the scale and let cans enter thousands of households.

"Brother Dehua, it's very useful in the army, but you have to see Grandpa Huang's mind."

After eating canned food all day, Zhu Zhanji finally made an evaluation of this convenient food.

Fang woke up and said firmly: "there are often fraud in military procurement, and if you start, the best meat in the military is dried meat. How can it be compared with canned meat!"

"Not only in the army, those who often go out need not worry about meat if they carry some cans out."

Zhu Zhanji thought of the taste and agreed: "the key is that others do not have this taste!"

Fang Xing insidiously thought of instant noodles. Can instant noodles have their own carefully made nutrition?

Of course not. Instant noodles have a strong taste, so they are widely welcomed.

Zhu Di's problem is not big, especially after Zhu Zhanji asked someone to calculate the cost of cans, he even felt that Fang woke up and lost his private fat company.

"Dehua is really dedicated to the country."

Xia Yuanji came to Fang Xing. As a money bag, of course he knew about it.

Fang woke up with a righteous face and said, "Lord Xia, Daming is short of money everywhere. Fang, as a member of the country, has to do something about it!"

Xia Yuanji checked Fang Xing's offer before he came. When he heard the speech, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "if the heroes and relatives are like you, it's just... Ah!"

Fang woke up to observe his words and expressions. Seeing Xia Yuanji's face showing embarrassment, he guessed, "Lord Xia is making trouble for those... Pingfan of the country?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned and hurriedly denied, "nothing, nothing."

The so-called national Pingfan refers to those vassal kings.

Except for the royal family, the old Zhu family can live. As the first person in Daming's financial management, Xia Yuanji has certainly seen the disadvantages in the future.

If those vassal kings continue to be born like this, Xia Yuanji is sure that Daming's finance will be brought down sooner or later.

But who dares to ask this question?

Xia Yuanji doesn't dare, and Fang Xing doesn't dare at present.

Who dares to propose to cut off the king's territory and salary? It is estimated that even Zhu Di can't withstand the pressure from all parties.

At this moment, Xia Yuanji and Fang Xingxing both thought of the Tuen Ling.

Fang woke up and saw that there was no one outside, so he said in a deep voice, "Lord Xia, what is the basis for the success of the ex Han's grace order?"

A little surprise flashed in Xia Yuanji's eyes, and some were happy to find a comrade.

He said slowly, "the former Han Dynasty was holding the power of calming the chaos of the seven countries. The order of pushing grace was just a means of easing."

Fang Xing nodded approvingly and said, "at this time, we Daming just take back the troops of the vassal kings and strictly order them not to leave the fief. As long as the vassal kings have no objection, they will let him toss around in the fief. Lord Xia, there are endless children and grandchildren!"

Thinking of the countless descendants of the Zhu family who need to be fed by the finance of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yuanji's back cooled, so he had to smile bitterly and say, "when I kick my feet, I can't control anything."

"Dehua, you agree with TAISUN. You should plan early. I'm waiting for your good news."

Xia Yuanji didn't dare to talk about this topic again and slipped away quickly.

Cunning old man!

Fang Xing also smiled helplessly. The current scale of vassal Kings is not enough to cause heavy damage to Daming's finance, so he is looking for death at this time.

"Whatever, take care of your little home first."

Fang woke up and called Xu Qing to discuss whether he could produce cans on a large scale, and then went all the way north from Taizhou Prefecture.

Xu Qing obviously investigated the route and said, "uncle, the water transportation volume is large and the consumption is small. As long as the government can agree, it's a piece of cake."

Because Taizhou government can only take the sea route first, and then turn to the canal to go north, which can almost run through the north and south of the whole Ming Dynasty.

This model is good. Unloading all the way can save a lot of distribution costs.

But at present, Daming's merchant ships want to go to the sea, which is really difficult.

Fang woke up and thought, so he went to find Zhu Zhanji.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji heard of the sea transportation, he was embarrassed and said, "brother Dehua, the canal is about to run through. Someone is already mentioning the waste sea transportation and land transportation and changing to water transportation."

The northern part of the Ming Dynasty has accumulated a large number of troops and will have to move the capital in the future, so many materials can not be self-sufficient, so they need to be transported from the south.

At present, there are two modes of blood transfusion transportation: land transportation and sea transportation.

Land transportation costs a lot to eat horses, while sea transportation is risky. It's good to have half of the whole fleet in case of wind and waves.

After Zhu Di's death, Daming's sea ban policy became more and more strict. In the end, he simply burned the drawings of the treasure ship.

It was not terrible to burn the drawings of the treasure ship. What was terrible was to burn the navigation data and Annan atlas, which was unanimously praised by the civil service system at that time.

Of course, it was later said that Liu Daxia did not burn these materials, but hid them when the emperor wanted to ask for these materials and explore whether Zheng He's grand voyage to the West could be reproduced again.

"Shipping has natural advantages."

Fang Xing had to pose as an educator again and said, "let's talk about how many people I need to raise to keep the canal unblocked, regardless of the size of the ships."

The canal has to be dredged every year. These costs and manpower are planned by the local governments along the coast. Calculated, the cost is much higher than that of sea transportation.

Moreover, the canal also has the function of collecting taxes, setting up cards in various places to collect taxes on passing ships.

"Although shipping is risky, it can't be completely abandoned."

The project of excavating and dredging the canal costs too much. If it is abandoned, Fang Xing feels that he will be drowned by the saliva of those vested interests, so he has to make circuitous suggestions.

"In the trade wind season, we can take the canal, but in the season with less wind and waves, why do we have to go through all kinds of hardships to transport by water?"

Zhu Zhanji said, "brother Dehua, Grandpa Huang is going to set up four warehouses in Huai'an and other places. At that time, they will be directly transferred by the soldiers."

"All soldiers?"

Fang Xing thought it was unreliable. Unless it was to expand the scale of Cao Ding, it was impossible.

Zhu Zhanji also listened to the matter of water transport recently, so he said with confidence: "if the people transport, the tax on grain in that year can be exempted."

"If not?"

"Pay taxes as usual."

Fang Xing sighed in his heart. This is a multiple-choice question for farmers to choose one from the other!

Once farmers participate in grain transportation, the crops of that year will be abandoned, so they are duty-free.

But even if it is tax-free, what do those farmers eat?

"Shipping really can't be restored?"

Fang Xing asked with his last hope. He hoped Daming would not stay away from the sea. Even if there were risks, didn't Zheng He's fleet float overseas all year round?

Zhu Zhanji knew that Fang Xing always valued the interests of the sea, but Zhu Di acted. Once it was settled, no one could shake his will.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's embarrassed look, Fang Xing resisted the impulse to beat the table and said with an iron blue face: "the canal is very important as a north-south channel, but it is important to abolish shipping. I think this is a short-sighted decision!"

As soon as Zhu Di left, during the period from the Ming Dynasty to Longqing, the sea ban became more and more intense. From the brief era of Zhu gaochi to the policy of Zhu Zhanji after his accession to the throne is the beginning of all this.
