Guan Chaosheng saw that Jia Cong was indifferent, knowing that Dong Weng did not have Yaxing to compose poems, so he came forward and prevaricated: "Lord Hanlin has lived in the official office for a long time, and the case of Lianyue has been in the form of labor, Fengyue poems, and the way of the last stream, it is inevitable that it will be jerky, so you should talk about something else." ”

He Yi didn't dare to be embarrassed, the people at this table pushed Jia Cong to the main seat, and almost everyone looked at Jia Cong's face and acted, either complimenting or pouring wine.

On the other side, the Jiangzuo Literary Society muttered in private, but he didn't dare to amplify his voice, Jia Cong automatically ignored them, while admiring the silk and bamboo orchestra, he squinted at Zhou Wenbai, squinted his eyes and said: "Lord Zhou Chunzhou of Qianxiangguo Zhenhai Guard, I have also heard the elders of the family talk about it in previous years, and there were several exchanges in the early years, Lingtang, as the ambassador of our country, guards overseas, and works hard......"

"My lord praises ......" Zhou Wenbai smiled bitterly: "It's a shame to say that the reason why I was able to go to Jinling Guozijian to study in my later life was because of Zhou Li's and poetry books, all of which relied on the merits of my father and grandfather, but ......"

"Hey...... The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, which family is not the ...... accumulated by dozens or hundreds of years"

Jia Cong said: "Qianxiangguo and Fujian face each other across the sea, and there should be a lot of goods in the two places over the years. ”

"Not long after the king of Nan'an County hoarded Qianxiang Kingdom, he led his troops north with Taizu...... Later, the island of Qianxiang was usurped by the Luqiu family, and after a hundred years, it has become a fixed situation, and now the king of the Luqiu clan often has dealings with the governor of Taixi...... "Zhou Wenbai swallowed and vomited."

Obviously, Zhou Wenbai is so enthusiastic about befriending Jia Cong, not only the "hundred-legged insects of the four major families, dead but not stiff", there is a trend of resurgence, and Jia Cong's official reputation is rising. From the perspective of the Zhou family, because of the ocean, the emperor of Dashun is old, the crown prince is undecided, and the various auxiliary ministers are not in harmony, and many twists and turns can not be dealt with practically.

And Jia Cong is willing to talk to him, there are many reasons, the first is nothing more than the third sister Tanchun, whether he is married to the Zhou family or the king of Qianxiang Kingdom, he should care about it, no matter how it is said that it is between sisters and brothers of the same clan.

The second is the problem of Qianxiang country, the treasure island of Taiwan...... The history of this world is similar to that of China in the previous life, but many things are different, after all, it is another time and space, he wants to control the Qianxiang Kingdom, but the power is not at that level......

According to Zhou Wenbai's words, Dashun also has a guard army in Qianxiang Country, but now it is just a demonstration, and many military salaries have to be solved by themselves, so they naturally engage in smuggling and sea trade.

Another reason was that the imperial court was relatively conservative, and there was only one treaty port in Fujian, Quanzhou, and the firearms of Dashun had fallen behind the West.

Closing the country and blindly arrogant will only bring backwardness.

"Tongdongying in Ningbo, Zhejiang, Tongqian Xiangguo in Quanzhou, Fujian, and Tongmanila in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, these three places have tributary trade, and these things of yours may be easier to deal with with by the governor of Fujian."

"My lord, tributary trade, has always been my Dashun has the least profit, the Celestial Empire only needs a face, and the income of various countries is ten times and a hundred times that of my dynasty, and the Ningbo, Zhejiang, is not very friendly with the Dongying people. The country of Qianxiang was originally a wild land, and the education there was far inferior to that of the Celestial Empire. In my shallow opinion, in this place with low education, the less factional battles there are, the more conducive to the development of their martial arts......"

Jia Cong began to face up to this Zhou Wenbai, these words are very simple, but there are not many people in the court who can see through them.

Why was the backward Manchu Qing able to develop rapidly? And ruled China in another time and space for more than two hundred years? Is it because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a precedent for the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom?

Otherwise, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a Jurchen, not a mature Jurchen left by the Jin State. Because the government at the end of the Ming Dynasty was already full of shortcomings and irremediable, and the entire bureaucratic system was no longer working, the factional struggle in it was undoubtedly an important reason, self-destruction. Therefore, in the "General History of the World", it is said that China in the feudal period was almost isolated from the world, no matter how majestic Zheng He went to the West, no matter how powerful the four great inventions were, they were not used in practice, and they have always been fighting between themselves and their own people.

Especially in tributary trade, this practice of dying to save face and suffer guilt made Jia Cong's egg hurt very much......

Not to mention, because of the anti-Japanese aid to the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty and Dongying openly severed trade relations, and it stands to reason that if it is broken, it will be broken, and Dongying, an aggressive island country, deserves it, but what is the result? As a result, the Dutch East India Company picked up the bargain! They are in the middle and transfer Chinese specialties to Dongying, and they make millions of profits every year! How much has China lost? Lamentable!

It can also be hated.

If the Ming Dynasty can hold the line of overseas trade and collect the capital, perhaps, the situation will be different.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty at that time had this technical condition, but the policy did not work, and many ordinary people engaged in maritime trade were illegal.

Those officials will blow "I have a lot of things in the heavens and the earth, and I have everything", except for the Celestial Empire, the others are barbarians, and the earth is big and the things are a fart! With the blood and sweat of the people of the whole country, and doing loss-making business with foreigners, are you embarrassed to blow?

Jia Cong really didn't want to witness this situation because he was very aggrieved.

But in order to truly take power, you have to embark on a bloody road that clears all obstacles.

"Since it is a world exchange, this official will remember it, but now it is ......" Jia Cong said: "Not in his position, not in his politics, Zhou Gongzi must prepare for the worst......"

"If you have an adult's words, you will be satisfied in your late life......" Although Zhou Wenbai was a little disappointed, he hoped that Jia Cong would mention it in the book, but he also knew that he was in a hurry, and he could be regarded as achieving the initial goal by taking a relationship.

Of course, Jia Cong will not write on behalf of him for this reason, dealing with Wuzhou at the beginning is a lot of troublesome procedures, and if he intervenes in this matter, the emperor will taboo him, is he too lenient?

After three rounds of drinking, Jia Cong said goodbye and left, Liu Caiwei and Chen Ruan are still very beautiful, if you only talk about appearance and temperament, because of the cultivation of famous prostitutes, she is more strict than everyone else, but Jia Cong always has beauties on her side, so she doesn't have much interest.

Stepping on the stone bridge, the white clouds in the sky and behind him, the sewers under the bridge, the boats shuttled, Jia Cong said in his heart: "Before entering the cabinet, add another qualification, go back to Yangzhou first, and then talk about ......."

Upstairs Chen, as soon as Jia Cong left, their conversation became louder: "Jia Yushi must be Jiang Lang's ......."

"It's not worthy of the name......"

Fang Wuregret said proudly: "If you want to talk about the study of eight fashions, and qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Fang Mou really can't beat him, but Fang Mou would rather bend than bend......"

The implication is that Jia Cong befriended the powerful and eunuchs, and he did not have the integrity of them, and he was quite contemptuous, but there was no practical measure.
