Chapter 297 Three Conditions

Guo Zhiyuan was waiting for Emperor Wanli's words and hurriedly bowed: "I asked the emperor to agree to the three conditions of Weichen. First, I allowed Weichen to recruit immigrants from all over the country to build Dongfan. Weichen guaranteed that all the recruited immigrants were voluntarily, and the expenses and livelihoods of their trip to Dongfan will be responsible for the future, and they will never cause trouble to the government offices in various places..."

Emperor Wanli's eyes became brighter as soon as he heard this. This is a good thing. There are so many refugees everywhere, and the government often has to worry about helping the refugees. No matter what, I am afraid that these refugees will cause chaos, so let's take care of the imperial court. Where can I get the money to take care of these refugees? Guo Zhiyuan helped the imperial court solve a big burden! He immediately waved his hand happily and said, "Okay, I'm sure this first one!"

Guo Zhiyuan knew that this was a matter of fact that Emperor Wanli would definitely agree. These refugees were burdens for Emperor Wanli, but wealth for Emperor Wanli. Building Dongfan was a big project, requiring a lot of manpower, and even more so on. With these immigration, this big problem was solved. However, the household registration management system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict. If he recruited privately, he would definitely be impeached, and local governments would definitely make things difficult for him. Now that with the will of Emperor Wanli, he would immigrate according to the order, no one dared to set obstacles for him.

This was a smooth start, which also made Guo Zhiyuan more confident and continued: "The second thing I want to ask the emperor to approve is: In order to protect the security of the Eastern Band and Fujian coastal areas, Penghu Water Village will be set up on Penghu Island, and the current Wuyu Qinyi will lead the general Shen Yourong and be controlled by the Eastern Band Palace..."

Emperor Wanli hesitated for a moment. Before, Xu Xueju and Shen Yizhong impeached Guo Zhiyuan and colluded with Shen Yourong, and they were dissatisfied. Now Guo Zhiyuan recommended Shen Yourong to be responsible for the Penghu Water Village, which is indeed easy to have bad associations. However, Guo Zhiyuan's request was not too much. Now, Fujian's coastal areas are invaded by Japanese pirates all year round. If Guo Zhiyuan does not have any military power, it will not be tenable in the East. Moreover, if Shen Yourong stations troops in Penghu Water Village, he can also take into account the security of Fujian's inland security, which is a killing of two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Okay, this one is correct! Shen Yourong made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion this time, so he was promoted to the rank of the general and led the Penghu Guard..."

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. Shen Yourong is now the general of Qinyi, and his rank is about the same as a garrison. Now Emperor Wanli has promoted Shen Yourong to a general of the rank, which is equivalent to upgrading from two levels in a row. This is considered to be a full face for Guo Zhiyuan. I believe Shen Yourong will be very happy if he knows it. Shen Yourong has only been involved in a general of Qinyi, and now he has been promoted to a general of the rank of the general of the rank of Guo Zhiyuan after fighting. Shen Yourong will definitely follow Guo Zhiyuan in the future.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" Guo Zhiyuan sincerely thanked Emperor Wanli this time and hurriedly bowed and said.

Emperor Wanli pointed Guo Zhiyuan with his finger and cursed: "Okay, okay, let's talk about your third condition! I'm really tired!"

Guo Zhiyuan didn't want to drag the blame. The reason why he proposed two conditions that Emperor Wanli would definitely agree was to release the last "major **", so he also put away his smile and bowed seriously: "The third condition proposed by Weichen may be a bit ruthless, so please forgive me for being innocent, so I dare to mention it. In addition, I hope that the emperor must give me a chance to defend myself..."

Wanli felt a little bad when he heard this. Guo Zhiyuan had touched his nerves several times before. Now he actually admitted the condition he had proposed "big rebellion". This is the rhythm of using "big moves". However, he had already agreed to Guo Zhiyuan's two conditions and didn't care about one more. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I forgive you for being innocent! Tell me quickly!..."

Guo Zhiyuan has already made a solid preparation and no longer delays. He said loudly: "I request the emperor to approve the emperor to open the sea ban in the east and open the sea trade!"

As soon as Guo Zhiyuan was thrown out, it was really shocking. Everyone present was stunned. Emperor Wanli also changed his face, his eyes immediately became sharp, and he stared at Guo Zhiyuan with his eyes narrowed, but he was not angry immediately. Chen Yiguan couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and scolded: "Bold! Guo Zhiyuan, forbidden seas is a national policy set by Emperor Taizu. The laws of the ancestors must not be abolished. You dare to put forward such a ruthless condition. It is really a wolfish ambition. You can kill your nine clans based on this alone!..."

Guo Zhiyuan has already developed experience in confronting Chen Yiguan, so he will naturally not be scared by his harshness and cowardly appearance. He smiled and said, "Jiang is already forgiven for being innocent just now. Is Chen Xiang trying to make the priest without trust?..."

"You!..." Chen Yiguan was choked to death by Guo Zhiyuan, and his whole body was trembling with anger.

But Guo Zhiyuan ignored him and turned around and bowed to Emperor Wanli, saying, "Can the emperor know why Japanese pirates on the coast of Fujian are rampant, and pirates are rampant, and they are unable to be destroyed after repeated suppression?..."

Emperor Wanli didn't get into Guo Zhiyuan's trap this time, and he still looked at Guo Zhiyuan coldly without saying anything, which made Guo Zhiyuan a little difficult to answer. Fortunately, there was still "living Lei Feng" Comrade Chen Yiguan, pointing at Guo Zhiyuan and scolding: "Guo Zhiyuan, Emperor Taizu has a far-sighted vision and set a strategy for banning the sea to consolidate sea defense, defend the enemy outside the country, and make the Japanese pirates a rootless duck. If you want to open the sea ban, you will destroy the Great Wall and harm the country and the people, and your heart will be punished!..."

It’s not that Chen Yichang is incompetent, but that his thoughts are limited by the times. His rebuttals are naturally full of loopholes in the eyes of Guo Zhiyuan, a time traveler. Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, “Chen Xiang, I wonder if you really don’t understand the feelings or deceive yourself. How many people can Japan have? Even if they are all Japanese pirates, how many people can there be? Most Japanese pirates on the coast of Fujian colluded with our Ming Dynasty and even the officials of the imperial court participated in it, so the more they suppressed it. This is almost a semi-public secret in Fujian. The maritime ban strategy has long been in name only, but the money that the imperial court should have been earned has been in the pockets of those unscrupulous merchants and corrupt officials!…”

Chen Yiguan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he said furiously: "Jane... is simply nonsense!..."

But Guo Zhiyuan ignored him and turned around and bowed to Chen Ju next to Emperor Wanli, saying, "Duan, Dongchang investigate the world, the factory should have heard of the situation along the coast of Fujian? Please speak up for justice!"

Chen Ju was a little embarrassed. He naturally heard about what Guo Zhiyuan said just now, but this matter was too much involved. If he told the truth, it would probably cause an earthquake in the officialdom. However, if he opened his eyes and told lies, he would not be able to do it with his personality. Moreover, lies are deceiving the emperor. If Emperor Wanli is serious and insists on finding out the truth, he will be in a dilemma!
