However, what surprised Sun Chuanting was that this capital, which had been separated for several years, was familiar with him, and many scenes made him a little embarrassed.

For example, when he went to a restaurant for dinner, the guy asked him about paper money, but he thought it was Baochao, which made a big misunderstanding.

Also, there are stories in the restaurant. Sun Chuanting originally introduced to Liu Guoneng, which is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Words and Two Shots". People in the capital are used to it, but when it is a lively meal, they leave after they have eaten.

But who knew that those diners not only did not leave after they finished their meals, but even shouted loudly, and all rewarded them on the spot. The wonderfulness of them and the fascination of the audience made Sun Chuanting and both dumbfounded.

It’s not over yet. Halfway through the storyteller, the storyteller, could explain the current national policy and talk about the bank, which made Sun Chuanting confused. What is this?

He took Liu Guoneng and left the restaurant in a little embarrassed manner. Liu Guoneng pointed to some buildings curiously and modestly asked Sun Chuanting what kind of house it was? What was it built with wood not wood and stone not stone.

"..." Sun Chuanting couldn't recognize that it was a cement building, so he had to talk about him. Fortunately, Liu Guoneng didn't dare to ask him, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.

"Let's go and see Zhonglietang. When you arrive in the capital, you must go and see it." Sun Chuanting made an excuse and finally heard of this. After having a reason, he hurried away with Liu Guoneng.

Unexpectedly, before they reached their destination, they were found by people from the Ministry of Personnel and told them that the emperor had summoned them and asked them to meet immediately.

This was another unexpected thing, which made Sun Chuanting a little rush. He hurried back to put on his official uniform, tidied up his appearance, and hurried to the Forbidden City.

Sun Chuanting was summoned first, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he entered the Wenhua Hall and met Emperor Chongzhen for the first time. After shouting long live to thank him in the mountains, he looked at the young emperor he had never met with curiously.

He is indeed very young, and from the outside, he is still very immature. But there is a calm and dignified look on the emperor, which makes people respect him and dare not underestimate him. This feels very strange!

Emperor Chongzhen was also looking at this great man. Although he had contact with a chat group, as a civil servant, he could lead about 300 soldiers and attack the camp of tens of thousands of bandits. His courage was quite strong. Judging from his calmness in defending Dai County before, he was indeed a capable person.

Such a person can't be seen from his appearance, and he thinks he is just a handsome guy with a gentle appearance!

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but say something in his heart: The sea water should not be measured, and people should not behave like appearances!

Following these thoughts, he smiled and said to Sun Chuanting: "Have Sun Qing seen the opening of the sea ban?"

"Your Majesty, I've seen it!" Sun Chuanting replied, a little surprised in his heart that the emperor's straightforward questioning was.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "I decided to appoint He Qiaoyuan as the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the left censor, and was in charge of Fujian, governors, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and was full-time in opening the sea. But he was old and was afraid he was unable to do so. Therefore, letting him go to Fujian to assist Governor He in doing a good job in opening the sea. Is Sun Qing confident?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He suddenly heard something from the emperor's words. At this time, he was the governor of Fujian and wanted to assist Governor He in doing this. But Governor He is old. If he retires, who would be more suitable to take over than himself?

This means that your future career will be a good governor of Fujian, and then your official position will be the military and political governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong!

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting immediately bowed and replied solemnly: "You have a decree, but I obey my decree. I will devote myself to my decree until I die!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard this, and didn't talk much nonsense, and said directly: "There are two difficulties in opening the sea ban this time..."

As soon as he heard this, Sun Chuanting looked up at him and listened seriously.

"First, opening the sea may hinder the interests of some people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who hold heavy navy troops." Emperor Chongzhen said seriously, "Sun Qing must be careful of this aspect, and I will also solve the problem for you. The transfer of Liu Guo to follow Sun Qing to Fujian is also based on this consideration. Sun Qing must know this!"

This has clearly indicated who the enemy is. It is obviously much better than going to the local area to understand. After hearing this, Sun Chuanting responded seriously and seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and then said the second point: "Governor He once said in the opening of the sea ban that he could earn more than 100,000 taels of silver for the court a year. Haha, this is too little!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. I wonder if the emperor said that this is too little. How much does it take to make it less?

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out a finger and then said to Sun Chuanting: "I have investigated. After the matter of opening the sea ban is on track, should I have this amount of income in a year?"

"One million taels?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw it. From about one hundred thousand taels to one million taels, this is ten times more income!

He worked as a doctor and spent so many years in the capital, and he also knew that the imperial court's annual treasury income was only three to four million taels!

He was surprised, but saw Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It's not one million taels, but ten million taels!"

"..." Sun Chuanting forgot the etiquette in front of the emperor when he heard this, opened his mouth wide, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen pretended not to see it and explained to Sun Chuanting: "I have no whimsical thoughts, nor have I said it out of thin air. I have concluded through investigation. After I adjust the national policy and encourage maritime trade in the future, this number will be only a lot more and less!"

Sun Chuanting came to his senses at this time. Although he still didn't believe it in his heart, at least he had returned to normal on the surface.

"The second difficulty I want to say is to ensure that taxes are received and tax collections are collected strictly in accordance with national policies. Anyone who dares to evade taxes will be severely punished! If there is a cabinet and I will support Sun Qing, just let it go!" Emperor Chongzhen said this, staring at Sun Chuanting and asked solemnly, "Does Sun Qing dare to take this offensive job?"

According to the Ming Dynasty Law, there is no tax exemption. If you want to be exempted, it is just exemption from service. But in this era, who doesn’t evade taxes? If this is strictly implemented, it will be equivalent to offending everyone and powerful people.

At this time, Sun Chuanting fully understood. The difficulty of opening the sea ban is not just opening the sea ban, but whether all taxes can be collected after the sea ban is opened. This is the key.

Thinking of this, he knew why the emperor had to meet him in person so soon, and set up the bait in advance, which was the bait of the governor of the three provinces.

Sun Chuanting looked up and looked at Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing him staring at him, he knew that he was waiting for his answer.
