My Life Simulator

Lu Li's move to ban the sea and borders has a huge impact.

Almost none of the officials, eunuchs and gentry in the coastal areas did not go to sea to run ships or do overseas trade.

Originally, Lu Li wiped out the Japanese pirates, and the maritime trade broke out and became more prosperous.

However... Lu Li's move of banning the sea borders strangled everyone by the neck, and no one could move.

Dare to break through? The ships in Xu Ge's hometown were all sunk!

The sea borders are banned, the mountains of goods cannot be transported out, and huge amounts of silver are consumed every moment.

The ban must be lifted as soon as possible, and Lu Li cannot continue to ban the sea.

But... how can I get Lu Li to lift the ban?

The first thing that officials habitually think of is... impeachment! Spray to death Lu Li! Let him be disgraced and even imprisoned.

Under Xu Gelao's instruction, the officials in the DPRK and China were ready to launch a massive collective impeachment, which would discredit Lu Li and imprison him.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng quietly reminded Xu Ge: "Aren't you afraid of turning Lu Li back? Once Lu Li rebels..."

Hearing this, Old Xu Ge shivered all over, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

For those who do not have the strength to rebel, or even will not rebel at all, the civil servants can unscrupulously rant, and they can unscrupulously slander the other side for rebelling.

But... people who really have the ability to rebel, they must not spray indiscriminately. If the other party really raises the anti-flag, the consequences will be disastrous.

Forcing Lu Li to turn back, who in the world can control it? It might be time to change the dynasty. What a shit?

Even Lu Li didn't need to rebel, as long as he came to the "Qingjun's side", it would be easy to break into the capital and pluck old Xu Ge's head.

The routines of those political struggles in the past are meaningless to use on Lu Li, and even lead to fatalities.

"Taiyue, go to the letter to discuss with Lu Li, everything is easy to discuss! I am also from Huating, and Lu Li and I are from the same town. We should be watching and helping each other. There is no need to be so stiff."

After recognizing the reality, Elder Xu Ge was instantly cowardly.

This is normal. In the face of swords and guns, the quickest person to admit counsel is the scholar.

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly took the order and immediately wrote a letter to Lu Li. There were no words of admonition, but all of them were about friendship and ideals.

However, everyone knows what it means.

Lu Li received Zhang Juzheng's letter with a smile on his face, "Isn't that right? In this world, the truth is in the hands of guns and guns. Dare to fight against Lao Tzu, can't Lao Tzu be Cao Cao?"

Afterwards, Lu Li once again made a memorial, requesting the establishment of a shipping department.

Along with the memorial, there is also a plan for the establishment of the Shibo Division compiled by Lu Li, including staffing, financial accounting, tax rate standards, tax and fee allocation, etc. The plan is very detailed.

Even Lu Li set up a "Detection Division" unit in the Shibo Division. The Nanzhili Guards sent 5,000 soldiers to serve as the tax detective teams of various Shibo Divisions to combat tax evasion and smuggling.

Under the deterrence of completely banning the sea and borders and cutting off the maritime trade, Lu Li's arrogant and domineering actions, although the officials in the DPRK and China are very angry, they can only recognize it with their noses.

Emperor Jiajing received the "Please set up a city ship division" memorial proposed by the cabinet, and saw that the cabinet proposed "feasible", a strange smile appeared on his face.

Obviously, this was a battle between the DPRK and Chinese officials and Lu Li, who was beaten by Lu Li.

In fact, in addition to this official memorial, Emperor Jiajing also received a secret letter from Lu Li.

In this secret book, Lu Li gave the Emperor Jiajing a detailed description of the sea trade in the southeast coastal area, claiming that the benefits of sea trade in one year would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Set up the Shibo Division and strictly implement the tax payment standards, and the Daming treasury will receive tens of millions of taels of tax silver. The Emperor Jiajing's internal treasury is divided into several million, or even tens of millions of taels of silver every year.

How could sea trade have such benefits?

Although Emperor Jiajing was smart, he had never been exposed to this information, so he couldn't believe it.

It's just... even if there is not so much money, if you can get more than one million taels of silver every year, the funds for immortal cultivation will be more abundant.

Then give it a try!

Immediately, Emperor Jiajing issued a decree to establish a municipal shipping department in Songjiang Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Guangzhou Prefecture to start the taxation of sea trade.

As for the "sea prohibition order" and the ancestral law of "no sails are allowed to go to sea", no one has mentioned it, and no one has cared about it.

Do you really think that scholars care about the ancestral law? Emperor Hongwu still has the ancestral method of embezzling fifty taels of silver and then flaying the skin and filling it with grass? Why haven't I seen scholars defending this ancestral method?

Everything is just profit.

The imperial decree was issued, and the shipping divisions in various cities were quickly established.

With the 5,000 "detection teams" dispatched by Lu Li, there was no obstacle to the formation of the Shibo Division.

Those who wanted to stumble and sway on the ship, faced the icy guns and knives, and died in an instant.

The idea of ​​"burning Shibo Division on fire" didn't dare to come up at all.

Don't think it's strange that the civil servants, gentlemen and scholars of the Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything?

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs sent to collect taxes, do not know how many they killed. Various warehouses, government treasuries, and even the shipping company, "fires" are endless.

Why did Emperor Ming Dynasty reuse eunuchs? Why set up police uniforms, east factory and west factory? Isn't it just to fight with the civil servants?

Don't think that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were all "sores on their heads and pus on the soles of their feet". Those who were completely broken were all blackened by civil servants.

Don't think that the emperors of the late Ming Dynasty were all born with mental retardation, and they were all deliberately tossed out by the civil servants. Daming emperors who died strangely, the cause of their death... hehe.

For most of the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, Lu Li never believed in their integrity. Only under the deterrence of force can they be honest.

Shibosi is composed of eunuchs in the palace, officials in the court, and Lu Li's detective team. Under the restraint of the three parties, coupled with the deterrence of force, can the Shibosi smoothly collect taxes, otherwise... I don't know when it will change. It has become a channel for officials to make money.

Overseas fleets are still patrolling the sea frontier, and any ships that do not have a tax payment certificate from the Municipal Shipping Department will be punished as smuggling, and all their property will be confiscated.

There are destroyers at sea and detective teams on the shore, who dares to refuse?

The Shibo Division was officially established, and countless maritime merchants who were blocked by Lu Li on the coast, after paying their taxes honestly, went to sea.

This wave of tax payment alone has caused the various municipal shipping companies to collect more than five million taels of tax.

The Ministry of Accounts received four million taels of silver, and finally there was silver in the empty treasury.

Emperor Jiajing also received one million taels of silver.

I go! Is it really so profitable? Emperor Jiajing smiled. Not bad. Opening a shipping company is a good idea. My cultivation funds are more abundant.

After the Shibo Division was settled, Lu Li focused his attention overseas.

...

Jiajing forty-two years in February.

The north is still icy and snowy, but the South China Sea area is bright and sunny.

On this day, Lu Li assembled his fleet, set off from the Sanya base on Qiongzhou Island, and headed south.

In addition to the North Sea Fleet and East Sea Fleet patrolling the sea frontier, Lu Li assembled thirty destroyers and brought hundreds of transport ships towards Annan Da Nang.

Since Lu Li drove the Japanese pirates into the South China Sea, Lu Li's army was stationed on Qiongzhou Island and did not continue to pursue and suppress it south.

The Japanese pirates were sent flying by Lu Li, so naturally the ship did not carry enough supplies. To survive, you can only rob.

So... After August last year, Japanese pirates looted all over the South China Sea. The areas of Jiaozhi, Annan, and Champaign were naturally badly harmed by Japanese pirates.

On this day, a group of Japanese pirates burned and looted near Da Nang, looting a large number of supplies, and was preparing to board the ship to return.

At this time... a huge cloud of black smoke rose from the distance.

A huge fleet, riding the wind and waves, roared.

"Huating Hou is here!"

"The Black Army is here!"

"Run!"

The Japanese pirates were so terrified that they couldn't even care about the supplies they had stolen and the women they had captured, so they turned around and ran away.

Some fled inland, while others fled in a hurry.

"Master Hou, do you want to sink them?"

Admiral Zhang Wei, pointing to the pirate ship fleeing in embarrassment, asked Lu Li.

"Firing a few guns, hitting a few times, and sinking a few ships symbolically is enough."

Lu Li smiled and waved his hand, "I'm still waiting for them to open the way for me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei quickly took the order.

Amid the roar of artillery, several Japanese pirate warships running behind were sunk, and the other Japanese pirate warships fled in all directions.

Lu Li was too lazy to chase, so he gathered the fleet and landed in Da Nang.

An army of tens of thousands of people rushed directly into Da Nang and occupied it.

Immediately, various materials were unloaded, laborers entered the site, and vigorous base construction began.

A sun and moon flag was erected high on a hill outside Da Nang, and the bright flag fluttered in the wind.

Countless Annan people inside and outside Da Nang looked at the sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind with complicated expressions on their faces.

This is Daming!

It has been more than 100 years since Emperor Yongle conquered Jiaozhi, and Daming is back!

Hue city north of Da Nang.

Chen Wenli, King of Hue of Annan, received a military report and saw that the Ming army had landed in Da Nang, and he was shivering with fright.

"The Chinese army sent troops into Da Nang, how good is this!"

The King of Hue's face was pale, and he was at a loss as he sat on the dragon chair.

It's just that he hasn't paid tribute for a few years, but Daming actually sent troops to attack? Do you want to be so cruel!

The one that once attacked the border of Daming was the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty in the north. It has nothing to do with me!

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Don't call me Your Majesty, call me Your Majesty. I am the King of Hue of the Ming Dynasty, how can I surpass the rule and become the Emperor?"

The King of Hue was stunned, "Hurry up! Hurry up and demolish everything in the city of Hue that is beyond the control. This king will make a list and ask for a tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

Next, the city of Hue began to demolish illegal buildings everywhere.

A mission also headed towards Da Nang, ready to inquire about the intentions of the Da Ming soldiers.

A few days later, the embassy sent by the King of Hue arrived in Da Nang in a hurry.

When he came to Da Nang, the official of the Ministry of Rites named Ruan Yuzhang saw that Da Nang had become a large construction site in front of him.

"Stop! Who are you?"

Sentinel soldiers stopped the mission and asked with guns.

"Xiaguan, under the command of King Shunhua of Annan, Ruan Yuzhang, left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Ruan Yuzhang bowed his hands to the soldiers on the patrol, "Please pass the message on the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, and the lower officials will come to visit the chief general of your ministry."

"The left servant of the Ministry of Rites? Or an official?"

The patrol squad leader glanced at Ruan Yuzhang, smiled and nodded, "Do you want to see my Marquis? Okay, I'll take you there!"

Having said that, the patrol squad leader led Ruan Yuzhang and his party into Da Nang.

In a house outside Da Nang, Ruan Yuzhang met Lu Li.

"Xiaguan, under the command of the King of Shunhua of Annan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, pay tribute to the generals of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Ruan Yuzhang bowed deeply to Lu Li with a very respectful attitude.

"I'm not a general."

Lu Li smiled and said, "Our official Lu Li, Marquis Huating, General Zhuguo, Governor of Nanzhili and Governor of Nanhai are still three levels away from the General!"

"It turned out to be Hou Huating, please forgive me!"

Ruan Yuzhang bowed deeply again, and then asked Lu Li, "I don't know if the Marquis is here this time, can there be any service for this country?"

"You are so bewildering, are you trying to ask my purpose?"

Lu Lichao Ruan Yuzhang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Annan is a vassal of Daming, and Daming has the duty to protect the vassal. This marquis learned that Japanese pirates looted Annan, burned, killed, and looted, and the people were struggling to live, so I hereby lead an army to pacify the Japanese."

"Uh...this..."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuzhang's face stiffened.

A vassal or something is just a name. Even the symbolic tribute "Peacock Feather", the King of Hue of Annan has not given it to Daming for several years, who really thinks he is a vassal state?

Today, the Marquis of Huating of Daming came to lead the army, and in the name of protecting the vassal state, garrisoned the army in Da Nang. How can this be good?

"Master Hou, although there are Japanese pirates and bandits in Annan, it is nothing to worry about. There is no need to bother the Chinese army to come to pacify the Japanese."

Ruan Yuzhang quickly declined, not wanting Lu Li to occupy Da Nang.

"It's not a matter of whether you're tired or not!"

Lu Li stood up, put his hands on his back, glanced at Ruan Yuzhang, and said with a smile: "The land under the vassal of Daming is the territory of Daming. As the governor of the South China Sea, this lord should have the responsibility of guarding the territory and protecting the people. Daming soldiers protect the territory. The sacred mission is unquestionable!"

From a legal point of view, the king of the vassal state belongs to the vassal king who is enfeoffed by Da Mingzi, and the territory of the vassal state is nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that... no one really took it seriously.

Now, in the name of protecting the Daming vassal state and the Daming territory, Lu Li led the army to occupy Da Nang.

The King of Annan of Hue does not agree? You do not admit that this is the Daming vassal state, and that this is the territory of Daming? Are you going to rebel?

That's right, the 10,000 troops stationed in Da Nang have nothing to do! Do you want to try whether Daming's guns are sharp?

Da Nang is only the first step. The Cam Ranh Bay in the north and the Champa City (Mekong Delta) in the south must open up bases, station the army, and protect the territory of Daming!
