Li Zhong suddenly remembered that the maritime merchants of Nanzhili and Zhejiang were reluctant to take refuge in Daliang, and if the Dutch really intercepted the fleet of Daliang maritime merchants at sea, would it make these maritime merchants resentful, and it would also have some impact on Daliang's rule after all. So he immediately told Li Yan about this worry.

Li Yan didn't care at all. "It's okay." The Dutch are just screaming, if they really have the strength and idle time, they will not be checked and balanced by Zheng Zhilong. It's a big deal to stop the ship for two years, isn't there still the Portuguese in Ho Jingao and the Spaniards in Little Luzon, our trade can't be broken, but the Dutch have fewer opportunities to make money. If the Dutch were not satisfied, they would go to Portugal and the West to make trouble, and let them fight first. When we build a fleet to protect such a short-haul route as the South Seas, we are still sure. ”

"I hope so." Li Zhong nodded in agreement. Later, he proposed: "Do you want those officials in Jiangnan to say hello to the maritime merchants, so that the maritime merchants can be psychologically prepared." If these people are impatient, there will be a trouble, and it will be a storm again. After all, maritime merchants are different from border merchants, and they can't be started in a while, and it's a pity to lose them. ”

Li Yan snorted and said, "It's okay, let those senators be active, you can't just get a salary and not do things." Let's also take the opportunity to see if there are any ghosts in here. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and settled the matter. None of them were worried about the so-called raids and invasions of the Dutch, and if the Dutch really dared to go ashore, the army of Daliang would make them never return home.

Later, Li Yan gave Zhang Han another order, asking him to lead the sailors to act, with the purpose of attacking the Dutch ships, and authorizing Zhang Han to handle the affairs of naval engagement. As for the reply to the Dutch, it was a simple sentence: the Great Liang welcomed equal trade, but also had a duty to exterminate any bandits, so that they could do their own thing. Of course, the order to Zhang Han was to use carrier pigeons, while the reply to the Dutch was to take the land route, and there was a difference in the arrival time.

Li Yan didn't care about the matter, after all, it was thousands of miles away at sea, and any idea of remote command was stupid. He not only had to give instructions on various movements, but also pay attention to all kinds of unexpected events.

For example, eight days ago, Li Mou reported that Hui Hui in southwest Beijing caused a big brawl because of the people around him eating pork, and people died. Due to the large number of people involved and the fact that it is related to religion, please ask Li Yan how to handle it. Li Yan is naturally based on the law, and those who return to the law are the people of Daliang first, and then the people of the church, and the law naturally cannot give in the slightest, so he ordered it to be dealt with strictly.

But the chaos is even bigger. Since the girder does not prohibit the people from possessing weapons, it is only forbidden to take bows, crossbows, spears, etc. on the street, and the swords worn must also be hung in a conspicuous position on the body and cannot be hidden. The original intention was to stimulate the martial spirit of the people, so that they could have the ability to protect themselves, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the whole village of people being wantonly slaughtered by a few bandits. But now, it is convenient for these people to resist law enforcement, and they actually form a group to resist, killing and injuring the yamen who went to arrest the criminals.

Is this worth it? Li Mu is preparing to leave the border city in autumn and sweep away the Qing forces in the Mongolian steppe, where can there be unstable factors in the rear. The army was directly dispatched to quell the rebellion, and artillery was also used, killing and wounding more than 400 people living in the settlement, and all the others were arrested. Since it was classified as a rebellion, these people naturally had to be sent to hard labor, and the inner embankment of the Yellow River needed more labor to work, so they would not worry about eating idle.

However, as long as something happens to this sect, it will not just be a local problem, but a major event involving the whole country. Therefore, Li Yan could only give instructions to various localities, so that the garrisons in various localities could pay attention to the local situation and prepare for emergency handling. Especially near Kaifeng, the Huihui reached tens of thousands of people, and when Li Zicheng besieged the city, he also set up a Huihui camp to assist in defense, but after Li Yan became the master, he dismissed the Huihui camp, so he couldn't be a little neglected.

And the salt merchants, which is also a big problem. They have tens of millions of taels of funds in their hands, and no matter which field they invest in, it will cause a lot of impact. Although the salt merchants gave up the impact on the lending bank through the deterrence of the army, it is not ruled out that they will have other aspects of their thoughts and have to pay attention.

In addition, there are also wealthy businessmen and gentry in Jiangnan, who also talked about secret discussions together, feeling that the tax of Daliang was too high. In the past, in the Ming Dynasty, commerce, industry and mining were almost all tax-free, and the annual rated commercial tax of a county was only 100 taels. But nowadays, all kinds of commercial goods have to pay taxes, and the taxes paid by a merchant every year are probably hundreds of taels, which is more than that of a county, so they all miss the benefits of the previous Ming Dynasty. It's just that the military prestige of Daliang only dares to say a word or two.

Of course, there are also those nerds who have read the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives, and in the end they find that they have almost no hope of becoming officials, and they are also full of resentment, and they have to complain in front of the villagers. However, these people are the most unsuccessful, the so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for ten years, and Li Yan is just paying proper attention. However, Li Yan has no intention of giving up these people, after all, they are literate and literate, and they can still be competent if they are selected from all over the country to be honest and useful, and to be a childish and childish Mr. Enlightenment.

What he has to care about is not only that, but also the production of the Ordnance Bureau, as well as the tests of the Taiyi Bureau.

An annealing cannon was created in the artillery workshop to improve the stability of the continuous firing of the artillery. However, the erection and retreat device is too cumbersome and can only be used on giant coastal defense cannons, and there is still a considerable distance from the use of field artillery. Now that the test of the gunpowder formula is basically over, a suitable ****** and explosive formula has been found, which has increased the range and enhanced the power of the explosion. However, the discovery of more powerful gunpowder has not stopped, and it continues to explore and test.

And the Taiyi Bureau, after more than two years and hundreds of secret dissections and surgeries, finally completely figured out the distribution of internal organs, blood vessels and bones. And the basic experiment has successfully treated the damage to the intestines, stomach, lungs, liver, gallbladder and other places under the condition of acupuncture and anesthesia, but the heart is still a problem, and the heart injury is still powerless.

However, the trial in Tai Hospital was still secretly conducted by Dr. He, and there were only six or seven doctors who had learned surgical skills superficially, and it would take a long time to popularize it. Moreover, it is not possible to dispel the fear of surgery among other doctors and ordinary people. Fortunately, Li Yan has asked the Taiyi Bureau to start accepting apprentices and passing on their skills, increasing the number of qualified doctors, and opening branches of the Taiyi Bureau in various counties in the future, which can also make the people less painful to seek medical advice.

Of course, what he is most concerned about now is the trend in Fujian, after all, this is the biggest obstacle to Liang's domination of the world. Originally, he wanted Liu Zongmin to make trouble for Zheng Zhilong, but according to the latest information, it seems that there are signs of cooperation between the two. Since this is the case, there is no need to wait any longer, and we should go south as soon as possible to solve Zheng Zhilong's base. Even if Zheng Zhilong continues to resist at sea, he will not be rootless and will not last long.

As for the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong, although they have retreated to the area of Guizhou in Yunnan and tried to contact the local Tusi to continue the rebellion, not every Tusi has the courage to challenge the Central Plains Dynasty, and most of them are still willing to sit and wait for the world to be peaceful. Moreover, after running around for such a long time, many generals in the team were tired of the battle, and they began to secretly contact the generals of the Great Liang, ready to return to the Great Liang at any time.

The domination of the world by the beams is a matter of two or three years.
