I had been in the mission world for almost a year, and most of the time I spent on a sea ship.

Those who have never been on the boat also know that the boats are full of big men. No matter what others think, Wang Xiao will not accept the left and right as men anyway.

So he has been enduring it, even if the demand has always been great, he is insisting on carrying it.

With such a resistance, you can resist the entire mission world.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the rest of the matter, just remember that Wang Xiao has a combat power of 30,000 words.

In the afternoon, Lin Daiyu didn't go to the mahjong mat, and Qingwen, who was impatient, almost came over to find someone.

That is, she met a mandarin duck halfway and was pulled over to make a hand, otherwise Wang Xiao would have more than 30,000 words if she passed.

When it was time for dinner, Wang Xiao, who had been elusive recently, appeared in front of everyone.

"Where's Sister Lin?" Xue Baochai, whose face was like a silver basin, asked curiously.

Wang Xiao didn't stay at Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion for dinner, because the weak Sister Lin was determined to drive him away.

After all, looking at Wang Xiao's unfulfilled desire, after dinner... Right.

Sister Lin is delicate and frail, and she can't bear it.

Wang Xiao, who was immersed in eating seas, responded casually: "She has read too many books, and her body is tired and resting." ”

"Oh."

Xue Baochai is just looking for a topic to talk about. It's all from the past, and no one knows what it is.

Xue Baochai, who has a gentle and virtuous image, added water to Wang Xiao's cloth dishes and waited very thoughtfully.

This is also something that cannot be helped, her current status can still maintain this standard of life, and she can still live in a place like Daguanyuan, which is said to be comparable to the luxury of the imperial palace. All she relies on is the man next to her, and the only thing she can do is to wait for Wang Xiao.

Thinking about those relatives of the Wang family, he is already good enough.

And it's not just her, their family is living under the protection of Wang Xiao's wings at this time.

If you don't wait for Wang Xiao well, and then you have a young lady's temper, this kind of thing can only happen on the street.

No woman is stupid, they know when to do something.

After dinner, Wang Xiao sat on a chair reading a book, and Ying'er shook a fan for him on the side.

As for Xue Baochai, he went out to direct the mother-in-law and maids in the yard to prepare bath water for Wang Xiao.

On the surface, of course, it is for Wang Xiao's fatigue, but in fact, it is to wash it away... Right.

The book Wang Xiao reads is the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Ever since he summoned the Divine Dragon, Wang Xiao has begun to pay attention to these strange things.

Now that I think about it, it was too sudden. Maybe Shenlong came over and asked him if he had any wishes he wanted to fulfill.

Wang Xiao, who was regretful in his heart, did not move, silently turning the pages of the book and looking at one strange mythical creature after another.

Then, here came the guests.

If this time period is not agreed in advance, basically all the courtyards are already closed for rest.

The only people who can run directly into the Wuyuan are people who are very close. It's like Xue Baoqin or something.

"Grandpa Guo." It was indeed Xue Baoqin who came in, she was idle and bored at night, so she came to talk to her sister. I didn't expect to come over and see Wang Xiao here, and the moment I saw Wang Xiao, my face turned red.

Wang Xiao put down the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his hand and was very satisfied with his handsomeness.

The pretty little girl blushes at the first glance, which is something that traffic can't do, unless it's a powder that is bought with money.

"Sit down and rest, your sister will be back soon."

Wang Xiao entertained Xue Baoqin with a little warmth, definitely not for the night, but purely as an enthusiastic brother-in-law.

The last time the pigeons were released on the lakeside, Wang Xiao has been thinking about when to get the field back.

Xue Baoqin kept retreating, and when he retreated to the door, he left a sentence I will come again next time, turned around and ran.

Wang Xiao is also depressed, what does this mean.

Fortunately, at this time, Xue Baochai came back, indicating that the hot water was ready, and Wang Xiao could go to wash.

"Recently, my back has been a little itchy, and my hands are not long enough to reach."

Wang Xiao threw out the topic, and Xue Baochai took it shyly. Then the two left the room to wash.

As for Ying'er, she is arranging the battlefield. Phew, it's to make a bed and fold the quilt.

It was another fierce battle with a scale of 30,000 words. The detailed battle situation is not in the table, as long as you know that the final winner is Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao, who had fought two battles in a row, entered the sage mode after dawn.

He leaned on his waist and went to the front yard, ready to get some fresh seafood or something for breakfast.

Someone came to visit at breakfast, and it was someone from the imperial court's yamen. It is said that there are envoys from overseas barbarian countries who have entered Beijing and want to open commerce and trade with the Great Zhou Dynasty for mutual benefit or something.

The emperor was very cautious about this, so he asked the important ministers to go and discuss it together.

Wang Xiao has a high salary as a national prince, so he naturally has no way to shirk these jobs.

After making two bites of the oysters, Wang Xiao changed into his python robe and went to the palace.

When I came to the imperial dining room, my father-in-law was also there, the chubby King Zhongshun was also there, and there were some important ministers and nobles who held real power.

When the emperor saw that the people were coming, he didn't talk nonsense and went directly to the topic: "There is an overseas barbarian mission to enter the court, saying that it wants to open trade with our court." What do you think about this? ”

For the Great Zhou Dynasty, overseas barbarians are not monsters that came out of the Book of Mountains and Seas.

In fact, as early as the pre-Ming Dynasty, Francois had already lived in Haojing, and had the qualifications to go to Guangzhou twice a year to do business.

When the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty raised troops, he also received support from muskets, artillery, and even mercenaries from the Franco.

So everyone knows that the so-called red-haired Fanyi is not a ghost, but a strange-looking overseas person.

At this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty still implemented a ban on the sea, although there were still a large number of ships going to sea to do maritime trade without permission. But on the bright side, only Franc is qualified to do national-level foreign trade activities.

Therefore, the ministers and nobles spoke enthusiastically, all of them supported the continuation of the sea ban and the direct removal of the mission.

For them, it is no problem to privately contribute money to build ships and go to sea to make money, but it can rise to the national level to open sea trade, which is a heinous crime and is resolutely not allowed.

Lin Ruhai leaned towards his son-in-law, lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think?" ”

What can I think, I'm not Yuan Fang.

Wang Xiao rubbed the bridge of his nose, "I feel that the scene in front of me has a very familiar sense of déjà vu." ”

He remembered a story. It is about an old man who calls himself perfect, who arrogantly looks down on the barbarians from abroad, and rejects state-level commercial activities to improve the trade deficit.

Then the barbarians who were forced to kneel and salute shouted the words of thirty years of Hedong, don't bully the young man and the poor Yunyun. A large armed march was launched decades later.

After calculating the year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is really very similar.

Lin Ruhai didn't understand what Wang Xiao meant, and looked at him suspiciously.

"I mean, it has nothing to do with me. The emperor can do whatever he wants, I'm here to make soy sauce. ”

For Wang Xiao, if something like that really happened. To say the least, it is also measured in years.

When the fleets of overseas barbarians came over, Wang Xiao didn't know how high he had broken through. At that time, who would care about this little threat.

Besides, don't look at him as a national prince, but he is a eater.

The Great Zhou Dynasty can do whatever it wants, and the emperor will carry it in front of him if anything happens.

When Wang Xiao spoke, his voice was not loud or small, which happened to be heard by the emperor not far away.

The emperor, who was nominally Wang Xiao's brother-in-law, rolled his eyes, and Wang Xiao's performance was very much in line with the positioning of a salary thief.

"The affairs of the imperial court are becoming more and more difficult because there are too many salary thieves like this."

The emperor calmed down and looked at Wang Xiao with a smile, "Rong Guogong, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wang Xiao is not stupid, of course he knows what the emperor is thinking.

If you don't agree to open the sea ban, then you can just drive it away, as it has been all these years.

Now he brought people to the capital in a grand manner, and called everyone to have a briefing. It's clear that they want to open the sea.

It's just, why should I help you?

"Your Majesty, the position of Weichen is to manage the army. His Majesty asked Weichen about the affairs in the army, and Weichen knew. This matter of the Ministry of Rites and Households, Weichen does not know, and he has no opinion. ”

The emperor wanted to open the sea because the sea trade was too profitable.

Those who engage in private maritime trade are full of fat brains. But these riches can't go into the treasury or the emperor's inner mansion.

In the past, he couldn't help it, and other things involved too much energy. Now, he's going to clean up.

Seeing that Wang Xiao didn't answer the call, the emperor thought angrily in his heart that he would go to Fengzao Palace at night to take revenge. Then the conversation was thrown to the childcare that had been arranged before.

King Zhongshun jumped out and loudly praised and supported Kaihai, and then the younger brothers who waved their flags and shouted followed loudly in support.

As for those who were resolutely opposed, it didn't take long for them to be defeated.

The military represented by Wang Xiao did not express his position, and every policy pursued by the emperor could be firmly promoted.

Leaving the palace, he went to Lin Ruhai's house, sat for a while, had lunch, discussed some matters, and returned to Jiafu.

Just such a lunch, there are already carriages and sedan chairs parked in front of the door of Jiafu. People from all walks of life who heard the wind came here one after another, wanting to move Wang Xiao.

The people who come here are all involved in the non-governmental sea trade, or behind the scenes.

Once the imperial court opens the sea, it will deal a fatal blow to their financial routes.

The news from the imperial study was that the emperor's resolute attitude was estimated to be difficult to change.

Now if we want to continue to adhere to the ban on the sea, we can only say that the military is to express its opposition.

Although there are many mountains in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Rong Guogong really has a representative force.

Wang Xiao, who was on horseback, saw so many carriages and horses on Gonghou Street, and immediately turned his horse's head and went to the back street, entering the house from the side of Daguanyuan.

For the court and the people, opening the sea is a good thing.

The imperial court could earn more income, and the common people could increase employment opportunities and promote commerce. Wang Xiao had no reason to object.

Besides, take the military against the emperor. In the end, he will have to do reckless things.

Back at Yihong Courtyard, Wang Xiao didn't rest for a while, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly came over.

"My grandfather." Wang Xifeng, who was proud, shouted as soon as they met: "Our family's business." ”

Wang Xiao covered his forehead with his hand, "I knew that everything had to have you." ”
