"Everyone is equal before the law...... haha, that's ridiculous."

In the mansion of the Marquis of Kaesong, Guo Yu parroted the matters of the propaganda meeting one by one, and the charity and literary meeting made Wang Kai and the others their eyes light up. These two paths can be said to be their appetite.

Wang Kai is not bad for money, and the Chinese language of others is not authentic enough, but a mouthful of Zhao Song official dialect is obviously no problem when he hears it. And there are many classics, but the level is lacking, isn't it just right to be a student?

It's just that "everyone is equal" seems too absurd and ridiculous.

At that moment, someone mentioned the case of Cao Zheng. "When the knife ghost beat him to death with a stick, wasn't he only nominally punished, and who knows what he was doing after he was released? Last year, Emperor Qi was a great feudal minister, and Cao Zheng, Yang Lin, Yan Qing, and Du Xing were all named the founding sons. Compared with Zhu Fu, Wang Dingliu, Zhang San, Li Si and so on, they are especially tall. Although Yidu is still a legend, the smiling tiger only named the founding man because his brother Zhu Gui was named the founding earl, and Zhu Fu's credit was transferred to Zhu Gui. And Cao Zheng was named the founder of the country because of the care of his master Lin Chong.

But in any case, Cao Zheng, who killed innocent people with a stick, is now famous, which is unexpected. How many people still remember the gentry who died unjustly?

All of them ignore the maritime merchants. None of Wang Kai and his party looked up to them. These people are just like Guo Yu, facing those naturalized people, they all have a mysterious sense of arrogance in their hearts. I don't realize that I am only a fifty step and a hundred steps away from the latter.

Maybe this ridiculous 'arrogance' is just a spiritual stress reliever that Wang Kai created for himself in his heart. When people are sad, if they can find a more tragic place, and compare and produce happiness, it is also a road to self-relief, isn't it?

No one knows.

At least, those maritime merchants didn't know at all, otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until a piece of household registration was actually in their hands, so they immediately prepared a generous gift and came to meet Wang Kai.

The latter's mouth opened wide in surprise when he saw the post.

It's weird.

Where does Wang Kai have anything to do with those naturalized maritime merchants?

"These shameless businessmen, where did they come from to dare to ask to see the Hou Ye?" Guo Yu was furious.

Although Wang Kai is young, he has a special identity, which represents not only the Kaicheng Marquis of the Central Plains, but also the face of Goryeo.

A shameless maritime merchant, covered in copper stench, even if he has been naturalized, he is just an ordinary person. is so far away from Wang Kai's identity, why did he suddenly rush to the door?

"These generations are all villains. However, if he dares to travel thousands of miles and oceans, chasing wealth and profit, how can he despise him? This kind of character is far away, Hou Ye has just arrived in Yidu, the foundation is not stable, and it is easy to make enemies, which is not a perfect strategy. Hu Zongdan hurriedly persuaded. Then he twisted his beard, frowned and thought hard, but he couldn't think of the original. "And let Hu go to see that person on behalf of the marquis."

That's right. Hengzhu Hu Zongdan will be in charge of Wang Kai in the future.

This person went to meet the visitor with confusion, but there was no time for two teas, so Hu Zongdan took the visitor to the inner study to see Wang Kai. Then Wang Kai asked someone to call several characters around him.

The location is still the inner study. It is said that it is a study, but it is actually a small courtyard, which is by no means only about reading and writing to cultivate sentiment, as well as an inner bedroom for resting, a flower hall and a small flower hall for guests. And it is the flower hall with a small character in front of the name, and the area will not be smaller than the three suites in later generations.

"Look, this is the South China Sea, also known as Wanli Stone Pond, these black dots represent islands, and these black shadows represent archipelagos."

Ketanagara held the Buddha beads in his hand, stabilized his mind, and whether he succeeded or failed depends on his next performance.

On the other side, a group of Korean characters looked at the five-foot-square map, and their hearts were shaken, as if they had seen a new world. Living on the peninsula, they have only had the continent of the west and the Japanese people of the east in their eyes since ancient times. Once upon a time to look south?

"The sailors of the imperial court are the best in the world, the huge ships are like cities, which are intimidating, and the artillery is sharp, and there is no rival in the ocean. Wouldn't it be a pity that we only conquer South Vietnam today, and then leave the artifact vacant after pacifying the thieves in the future? ”

"We and other maritime merchants drink wind and rain, and walk through the stormy waves, although they are very profitable, but in fact they are also full of dangers. On the sea, there are not only winds and waves that harm people, but also many thieves who kill people and cross over like cattle hairs. "Although when Ketanagara encountered pirates, most of them were able to win or fight. And for captured pirates, he will crush them like a bug!

Ketanagara is a veteran of the sea, and there is absolutely no exaggeration of the chaos at sea. Moreover, the South Seas are already very chaotic, but after leaving the Three Buddhas and heading west, after entering the Zhuluo Sea, the order above the sea will only become more chaotic. Not to mention those Indian pirates, they are the sailors of the Chola Kingdom, as long as the opportunity comes, they will not refuse to do pirate business.

The Chola Sea is the Bay of Bengal in later generations, and the reason why it is called the "Chola Sea" by Ketanagar is because the sea area today belongs to an empire called 'Chola'.

In Master Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", Zhu Luo is called "Note". Some people may feel a sense of familiarity when they see the words at the end.

In the eighth year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong auspicious fu, the king of Luo Cha Luocha sent tribute. During the Zhao and Song dynasties, there was a lot of traffic between Zhu Yuan and China. "Lingwai Dai Answer" and "Zhufan Zhi" have their own special articles. From China to Zhuran, you can take a sea boat from Quanzhou, take the old way, and then transfer to a small boat to reach Zhuyuan country; You can also take Bagan. Bagan even Myanmar.

As an ancient kingdom that has existed for thousands of years, Chola originated at the southern tip of the Indian continent, which is the tip of the triangle.

Over the course of a millennium, the rulers of the Chola Empire conquered large swaths of the southern Indian peninsula, annexed Ceylon, occupied the Maldives, and even successfully invaded the Malay Archipelago. They also followed the eastern coastline of the Indian subcontinent to the north, extending to what would become Bangladesh.

At this time, although the peak of the Chola Empire is gone, it is still in the peak of this ancient country.

In the third year of Song Xining, Chola was assassinated in the civil strife of Adi Rajendra Chola, and Roja Naland**, who had the blood of the Chola royal family, ascended to the throne, and Chola merged with the Eastern Chalou Dynasty, also known as the Chola-Chalou Kingdom. Raja Nalandra, also known as Kulu Tongga Chola I, reigned for 50 years, consolidating the royal power shaken by civil strife and stabilizing the empire.

Now the successor to the throne is Veramo Cholo, who has just ascended the throne for a few years, but this change of throne is a transfer of power, and the political situation of the Chola Empire is stable, so the country is naturally still strong.

Ketanagara had long since stopped going west, and since he settled in China, he no longer went to India to run ships. But he will always remember the Chola Naval Army in his heart. They were the ones who brought Kotanagara and his family to the brink of annihilation.

"You said you want to hire a court sailor to escort you and other maritime merchants?"

Hu Zongdan is going to doubt his ears. Looking at Ketanagara in shock, who gave him such courage to open his mouth like this?

Ketanagara smiled. "Does Master Hou know the story of the Nanyang sailors in the eastern sea of Guangdong?" At the beginning, Sanruan dominated Fujian and Guangdong, wasn't he doing such a deal?

All he wanted now was for the sailor to expand his scope.

In the eyes of Ketanagara, this is a matter of time. With such a powerful and incomparable fleet, does China really want to waste it in vain? They've already tasted fishy.

Taktanagara is going to take the lead now! When it is done, when the success is reflected, then he will be the hero.

"The villain didn't dare to say anything, so he only said that this is a stone pond. If the sailors of the imperial court can ensure that no one is injured in the sea ships during this period, the money per year, a small number of them should also be tens of millions. ”

Which ship sailed in and out, which ship did not have more than 100,000 yuan of goods on it?

Porcelain, pottery, silk, cloth, books, paper, lacquerware, as well as sugar and liquor, were sold overseas. The imperial court sailors will charge tens of thousands of yuan in protection fees for a ship, which is three or five thousand yuan a ship, and I don't know how much income there is in a year.

Ketanagara is from Guangzhou, and he knows how much China has stimulated the maritime merchants after the change in maritime trade policy. If nothing else, just one in Guangzhou, the number of merchants from the old port doubled last year.

In the past, Sino-foreign trade and imported goods into China had to be "extracted" (taxed) and "bomaied" (requisitioned) by the local municipal shipping department in accordance with regulations. Extraction is tax; Bomai means that the government buys most of the imported goods at a low price, and then organizes the transportation of goods, and the government controls their circulation and trading.

The Zhao and Song governments imposed a ban on the bulk of imported goods, that is, the government monopolized the distribution of most imported goods in order to obtain huge profits. The remaining small part of the imported goods are sold by Chinese and foreign foreign merchants themselves.

But now there are no such restrictions.

The total freedom of such a trade would bring tremendous benefits to Ketanagara. His income last year was at least double that of the previous year.

In the face of real interests, Ketanagala has great confidence in the future of China's maritime trade. Therefore, he hoped that the Chinese naval warships could cover the entire Wanli Shitang, so that in his opinion, those powerful Chinese warships would not be wasted in vain.

As for whether such a move would pose a threat to the ruler of the South Seas, Srivijaya Kingdom, that is something that Ketanagara does not care.

Because the kingdom of Srivijaya is not Taktanagara's.

Now he is more willing to work hard so that all members of his family can become Chinese naturalized citizens.

Ketanagara was also angry with Guo Yu's actions that day, but after he learned Guo Yu's identity, Ketanagara forgot all the unpleasantness.

Because Guo Yu's image has changed at this moment. What he represents is not only himself, but also Wang Kai. The identity of the Marquis of Kaesong is certainly awkward, but this is the most powerful person Ketanagara has access to, the closest to China's political center.

If he can't do it on Wang Kai's side, he can only return to Guangzhou to realize his intentions. Starting from the Nanyang Sailor, I hope he can catch up and get a piece of the pie.

"You want me to introduce you to His Majesty the Emperor?" Wang Kai withdrew his gaze from the map.

Now he naturally needs to be dormant, but now he doesn't need to push the credit that has been sent to the door.

Wang Kai is not very old, but his brain is very smart, he glanced deeply at Ketanagara, this person must have a lot of news unspoken. But this should be his step forward, but Wang Kai doesn't need to be serious here.
