Liang Cunhou took out some spirit and time, and after a little greeting with Zheng Zhilong, naturally someone introduced a few people into the side hall to eat, and it was also the dream of many imperial officials to have a meal with Liang Cunhou, of course, sitting next to each other at the cordial round table, this is undoubtedly an honor for Zheng Zhilong, but he is still a little uneasy, for fear that Liang Cunhou's banquet this time is a Hongmen banquet, after the banquet is placed, Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family Jizhi, everyone is cautious, dare not let go of eating and drinking, The wine is only touching the lips, and the food is not daring to be sent to the mouth.

Liang Cunhou drank the wine, looked at Zheng Zhilong and the others looked nervous, but there was not much emotion in his heart, he put the Moutai wine on the table, and said to Zheng Zhilong: "Lao Zheng, why are you so nervous?" Don't you think we're going to have a feast for you here? Or do you think that this wine and food will poison you? In this case, someone will send me this pot of wine, and bring Zheng Aiqing's wine pot to me! So Zheng Aiqing, can you rest assured? ”

As he spoke, he sent the wine jug in front of him to Zheng Zhilong, replaced Zheng Zhilong's wine jug and brought it to him, poured a full glass, and Liang Cunhou raised his hand and drank it all.

was so frightened that Zheng Zhilong and the others hurriedly wanted to jump up and apologize, but they were held down by Liang Cunhou, of course, when he touched his shoulder, he found that this guy was definitely not so weak and couldn't help it.

"Entertaining you today, the main thing is to see that Lao Zheng is a hero! I just want to make small talk with you, but you're too suspicious! This is not a pirate world that can only be maintained by constant fire, if the imperial capital has ill intentions towards you, how can it use such means, this is the imperial capital, if you want to be killed, you only need to say a word, how can I ask you to eat?

Get up, what is this! It's time to eat, eat, drink, don't be so suspicious anymore, and ruin everyone's interest! I think we can talk about things on the sea, you have lived by the sea for a long time, you have been doing things at sea all the year round, I am also quite curious about things on the sea, you might as well talk more about this aspect today! Liang Cunhou saw that they were frightened, so he put away his anger again.

Zheng Zhilong and the others thought about it, this is the imperial capital, he Liang Cunhou is the biggest official in the imperial capital at the moment, if you want to be unfavorable to them, you don't have to use this kind of indiscriminate means, you really only need to say a word, and countless people rushed over to push them out and slaughter them, they don't have the ability to resist here.

Rather than annoying Liang Cunhou like this, it is better to let go and do what he likes, so Zheng Zhilong and the others sat down, and then let go of their hands and feet to eat and drink.

Liang Cunhou drank wine and asked Zheng Zhilong about various things related to the sea, including the situation of European countries entrenched in the South Seas, how things happened to Japan, and things about maritime trade, and naturally some things about Taiwan.

And Zheng Zhilong saw that Liang Cunhou was not holding the emperor's shelf, well, he thought that Liang Cunhou's official should be the emperor, and he actually talked and laughed with them, so he didn't dare not say it, and asked and answered Liang Cunhou's words, satisfying Liang Cunhou's curiosity as much as possible.

When it comes to the relationship with the Japanese, Zheng Zhilong's astonishing singleness defines his relationship with the Japanese as a partnership relationship, and even the Tagawa family, who gave birth to children for him, is just an ordinary woman.

But this Tian Chuan clan is still a little interesting, at least it didn't live up to your heart, after listening to Zheng Zhilong's detailed explanation and complaining about the Japanese feudal lords, Liang Cunhou smiled and said: "Well done!" The vision of the Japanese is too low, too embarrassing, they are always closed off from the country, people can't look down on it, they can be regarded as giving full play to the characteristics of the islanders! Playing the spiritual victory method of bushido all day long, what's the point! This alone will contribute to the future development strategy of the Chinese nation, which is a move that will go down in history! When you go back to the History Museum, you must write it down, record your deeds in detail, and pass them on to future generations! ”

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong and the others were very happy, at least in the matter of treating Westerners and Orientals, they knew that in order to eliminate a small Nanyang red-haired person, the imperial capital spent a lot of financial resources, Liang Cunhou did not like these foreign devils who haunted the Chinese sea, and Liang Cunhou's attitude was also very obvious, that is, these red-haired people were not allowed to continue to be arrogant on the Chinese sea.

Then Liang Cunhou asked about the current situation on the island of Taiwan, and Zheng Zhilong immediately replied truthfully, telling Liang Cunhou how he supported immigrants in Taiwan to grow all kinds of fruits and sugarcane, which were all money.

Liang Cunhou put down his wine glass, his face suddenly sank, and he said: "Taiwan Island has been my Chinese land since ancient times, but in the past few years, it was occupied by foreigners, which is the shame of my China!" Although we in China have not developed Taiwan enough, and all previous dynasties did not attach importance to Taiwan, our Presbyterian Church will not make such a mistake! You are the pillars of our Chinese sea, and you should make suggestions for this matter and work together to find a way to build Wandao into a world-renowned tourism and agricultural powerhouse.

And, we will not forget to record your credit, after all, so many bankrupt farmers in Fujian, struggling on the line of death, thanks to you, use your influence to publicize and help those farmers everywhere from the mountainous areas of northern Fujian and western Fujian, and finally arrive at Wandao to start the second starting point of their lives, these people have formed a lot of population groups in Wandao, in my data collection, there are more than 8,000 households of immigrants from northern Fujian, more than 5,000 households from western Fujian, and less in eastern and southern Fujian, there are also three or four thousand, That is to say, nearly 20,000 households of immigrants depend on you to survive, and we will write county chronicles in the future, so just these things that you Lao Zheng did are enough for these people to record and praise you.

As for trade with foreigners, the Presbyterian Church adheres to the belief and concept of free trade, and does not oppose it, my country is rich in products, and there are tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen, through maritime trade, it is a move to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and the Presbyterian Church will never oppose trade with them, but if these foreigners want to covet our Chinese land, they will never be able to! In addition, the Nanyang countries are also vassals of our China, and the colonization of them by the red-haired foreigners is an invasion of our country, so why can they sail their gunboats across the ocean to the coastal waters of China, while we can only trade with them at our doorstep? Above this vast sea, could it be that we Chinese can only be confined in this small Nanyang area?

Although Lao Zheng you have been on the sea for a long time, but also too lack of scientific literacy investment, originally let you join the shareholder Indian company, now the option trading is over, it is also late, I always feel that your vision is still not far-sighted enough, you must know that the world is big, we can't just focus on this South Sea area, they Westerners go everywhere in the world, then in the future, our Chinese sea ships will also go to all over the world, in order to show our Chinese national prestige!

You, in the future, don't just stare at the maritime trade in the South Seas, most of the benefits will be usurped by those foreigners, and the merchants of our dynasty can only make small profits, but just make wedding dresses for their foreigners!

If they can come to us, why can't we go to them in the future? At present, although we have a lot of sea ships, but in addition to the north, it is basically difficult to manufacture ocean trade, the reason is very simple, from the private port of the Jiangnan clan in Hangzhou to ship silk, to Japan, and then transfer back to Fujian, Fujian and then ship Westerners' gadgets to Jiangnan, it is perfect, what else do you have to progress, but, if you don't progress, you will die, we will learn more from the foreigners' shipbuilding methods in the future, for my use, but also to build a big ship that can sail back and forth on the oceans, Compete with it on the sea, so that Westerners can no longer despise my China!

Lao Zheng, you people are most familiar with the things of the sea at present, and if our country wants to go abroad and rise above the ocean in the future, we still need a lot of hard work from you! As long as you can trust the elders, everyone will work together in the future, and don't fight and friction with each other, there will be nothing in this world that we can't do! ”

After Zheng Zhilong and the others heard it, they were all secretly frightened, but at the same time they were very happy, what Liang Cunhou said today was to completely make his attitude clear and take a reassuring pill, you know, he will no longer follow the example of Daming to enforce the sea ban, which is naturally good news for those of them who are begging for food at sea.

Although it's cool to collude with the big clans for smuggling, it seems to be cool if you can push away these useless guys and do it alone.

And they also heard Liang Cunhou's ambition from Liang Cunhou's words, this imperial capital elder not only wants to dominate the country, but also has the heart to build a huge navy in the future, and compete with the Westerners on the sea, so why worry that their Zheng family will not have a chance in the future?

So Zheng Zhilong hurriedly took the lead and said yes, Liang Cunhou waved his hand to let them sit down, and then said: "This time I have to use force against you, you will definitely have a bad heart, you don't deny this, after all, for many years before, your Zheng family was the master of Japanese trade routes, and now that you have lost something, it will definitely affect the interests of your Zheng family, and you will also lose something!" But remember, as long as you follow the Presbyterian Church, you will always gain more than you lose, and betrayal will never gain as well as follow us!

But you must remember one thing, the country is always greater than the home, and no one is allowed to raise private soldiers, and those who support the army and divide one side with their own dignity! Not even your Zheng family! You have to keep this in mind!

But now that you have your sailors, it doesn't mean that you are forbidden to continue to trade on the sea in the future, in fact, it doesn't care that your Zheng family profits from sea trade, on the contrary, the more you profit, the happier the Council of Elders will be! As long as you pay taxes according to the law, as long as you do this, the Council of Elders will protect your interests, not only to protect your interests, but also to support you maritime merchants!

Soon, the current government will soon set up a customs office to take charge of maritime trade, and as long as taxes are paid according to the requirements of the customs, then there will be no hindrance to the sea business, but on the contrary, it will be protected by our navy!

In the future, no matter how far you maritime merchants go, as long as your interests are infringed upon, then our navy has the responsibility to stand up for you and protect your interests from being infringed upon! You can rest assured that if you hand over the sailors, you will no longer be able to gain a foothold on the sea! As long as this government builds a strong enough navy in the future, then the interests of you maritime merchants can be protected! ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he suddenly had a strong sense of loss, although the elders rewarded him and his clansmen and subordinates in the hall today, but this was only to give some so-called subscription rights, and did not grant them any real positions, and now Liang Cunhou's words have repeatedly pointed out that they are maritime merchants, so it also shows that Liang Cunhou does not plan to grant them real power in the future, take the route of combining officials and businessmen, and only treat them as maritime merchants, which makes them want to surrender to the future. Zheng Zhilong, who had taken a half-official position in the imperial capital, and his subordinates were a little difficult to accept, but they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

And Liang Cunhou proposed to set up customs, the term customs for these people, is not unfamiliar, in Chinese history, similar to the nature of the customs is the city of the ship, but with the Ming Dynasty after the ban on the sea, the city of the ship division was abandoned, over the years, their Zheng family rampant on the sea, all the ships that are on the sea, must pay to them Zheng family to buy the road, in order to pass safely on the sea, even the ships of the red-haired people are the same, the Dutch in order to obtain the purpose of freedom of movement on the sea, They also had to pay a large toll to their Zheng family in order to pass along the coast of China and even on the sea to the Ryukyus.

For this reason, their Zheng family has made a lot of money just by collecting these tolls over the years, but now that the Great Middle and Korean Dynasty want to open ports for trade and set up customs, their Zheng family's good days in the past can be regarded as completely over, through this surrender, the imperial capital has almost weakened more than half of their Zheng family's maritime power, and in the future, this benefit can only sit back and watch others take it.

Although they were clamoring, they didn't know that in the distance, at Imperial Capital University, several foreign students were looking at those admission brochures curiously.

"Pascal, I think this physics department seems to be the best treated."

"Yes, Huygens, I think these Orientals are really advanced in their research on fundamental physics, in fact, think about it, they really have the potential to do something."

Franco, who was next to him, also looked at the mysterious invitation: "Che Gueva Laban, what is that?" ”
