Chapter: 27
"In Daming at this time, only when they have the same interests and the same direction can they exert their strength against the traditional literati, that is, the gentry class today."
"Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty loses its heroic and enterprising emperor, the feudal vassals start raising pigs, and the nobles start playing martial arts, the Ming Dynasty will completely lose its resistance to the conservative gentry class based on farming civilization and is destined to resist overseas trade. In the law of dynasty cycles in "On the Fate of Nations"!"
"The solution is very simple. Going to the Western Seas requires shipbuilding, sailors, and troops. It requires a lot of money."
"As for the money, the emperor will take the lead, and all the clans will contribute the money, and the nobles will pay according to their rank."
"In the beginning, some people might not be willing, but now, no matter if it is the clan or the nobles, looking at the emperor's face, it is impossible to not pay this money."
"Even, in order to please the emperor, even if they think the money is what the emperor wants to put into their own pockets, they will compare and scramble to pay the money."
"And only once they return with a full load, as long as they get a profit that is much more than the cost."
"They don't need anyone to lobby, and they will automatically go all out to join the cause of the voyage."
"In this way, an inherently stable interest class can be transformed into a staunch supporter of maritime trade."
"As for things like trade, things get bigger and bigger with the increase of capital!"
"Silks, porcelains, and spices from the Ming Dynasty are sold to the Far West, and all of them are sold at sky-high prices!"
"In just a few years, Daming can plunder wealth from ocean trade far exceeding countless times the land tax!"
Clear the clouds and see the sun!
Zhu Di suddenly realized, and a feeling of enlightenment emerged spontaneously, and his face, which was slightly flushed from drinking, even showed a wanton smile.
How to achieve the unrivaled achievement in his heart, Zhu Di has already thought about this question countless times, but in this era, trapped by the so-called limitations of the times, he can't find the answer at all!
Since the land tax based on farming civilization cannot meet the expenses required for him to achieve unrivaled achievements, then find another way to use ocean trade to help him become an emperor through the ages!
And his own strength is not enough, so he will be tied to the clan, and tied to the nobles!
If all the clan and nobles were on his big ship, what would be the use of opposing the gentry class based on farming and education?
There is no need for the emperor to hint at all. Those clans and nobles who have received massive benefits will become the most staunch supporters of the emperor and fight against the gentry and civil officials.
And as time goes by, when the decision to open the sea proves to be completely correct, more and more gentry and civil officials will naturally set foot on this big ship.
The gentry and civil officials will naturally split into the Kaihai faction and the Forbidden Sea faction, and it is too late to fight each other. How can they hinder the actions of the emperor, clan, and nobles?
At that time, Ming Dynasty will become the richest and most powerful country in the world.
With money, he Zhu Di can study as many books as he wants, and he can fight Bei Yuan as he wants!
Zhilong Tang and Song Dynasties, far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties!
Zhu Di suddenly felt that this goal, which seemed out of reach just now, was so close to him!
Due to the specially made bugging sound in the secret room [one-way transmission], Zhu Di is not afraid that his voice will be heard by the other side.
Zhu Di stood up abruptly, admiring excitedly.
"Jiang Xinghuo, a peerless genius!"
At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu who was next door suddenly realized: "Mr. Jiang, I have realized it!"
"Tell me."
