I heard Sun Chuanting say very seriously: "My lord, the lower officials think that the biggest difficulty in the national policy of opening the sea is to complete the taxes expected by the emperor. When the sea slope is flat, the land is Ning, and the time of tax collection is the time when the pressure is greatest, and it is absolutely impossible to complete the emperor's entrustment without reliable intentions. Since the lower officials have made a guarantee in front of the emperor, they must not be afraid of the risks ahead, and they must also prepare early. ”

After He Qiaoyuan listened, he looked at him in a daze and didn't speak for a while.

As a member of the Ming civil officials, he naturally understood that what Sun Chuanting said was right. In fact, the biggest reason for the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that it cannot collect taxes. And the emperor's expectations for the tax revenue brought by the opening of the sea are also much higher than He Qiaoyuan's own estimates. And to achieve this goal, it is bound to conflict with those who did not pay taxes before.

The sheer size of that group is terrifying to think about. Therefore, when He Qiaoyuan went to the concert of the opening of the sea ban, he never thought about this at all, so in the recital, he only estimated an additional 20,000 yuan in taxes and silver per year. Now that I think about it, compared with the goal that the emperor expected later, it is really difficult to say.

After thinking for a while, when he looked at Sun Chuanting again, he suddenly found that the emperor finally sent the northerner standing in front of him to the south, which seemed to be a wise decision. The person in front of him, taking precautions, being decisive in the face of trouble, and even being ruthless, has long been determined to offend everyone. Or can only someone like him fulfill the emperor's expectations? Ordinary people really can't do it, or don't dare to do it!

Thinking so, He Qiaoyuan nodded, no longer persuading. After pondering for a moment, with a trace of sincerity on his face, he said to Sun Chuanting: "Since you have made up your mind in your heart, then the old man will not say much about it." But you're a northerner, or you're not familiar with coastal bandits. The old man must remind you that there is one thing you must pay attention to. ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he knew that the Governor was no longer interfering in his own affairs, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful. For the kindness of the Governor, he also showed a posture of listening attentively, and said seriously: "Your Excellency respectfully listens to the teachings of your Excellency!" ”

"One of the reasons why pirates have been able to run amok on the seas without going against each other is because of the collusion between land and sea. Or he has a fine work on the shore, helping him inquire about the movements of the government and explore the wealth and prosperity of various places. The booty of the pirates at sea will also be sold through the people on shore. Its supplies at sea can only be obtained through those on shore. When He Qiaoyuan said this, he seemed to be afraid that Sun Chuanting, a northerner, would still not understand, so he simply went straight to the point, "The people on this shore must have a certain amount of power to do these things." Do you understand? ”

Sun Chuanting actually knew this, the thieves he captured made Liu Xiang save him at any cost, and he knew that these thieves must be Liu Xiang's henchmen on the shore. However, there is one thing that he only realized after listening to He Qiaoyuan's explanation that there are likely to be people who collude with Liu Xiang among the local heroes on the shore.

He Qiaoyuan said so much, and Sun Chuanting was his right-hand man in opening the sea, so he simply added: "The greater the power of the pirates, the greater the power corresponding to the collusion on the shore!" Now that Liu Xiang can become the biggest pirate leader along the coast, you must not underestimate it. The old man is afraid that the policy you have decided in the lobby of the governor's yamen is likely to reach his ears. In this way, the few people you send are very dangerous! ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was really taken aback. You must know that the people he convened the meeting were all high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty. If this will leak the news to the pirates, doesn't that mean that there are accomplices of the thieves among these high-ranking officials?

Seeing him there, He Qiaoyuan knew that he might not have expected it so deeply. But it's no wonder that he is a northerner, and he is certainly not familiar with coastal affairs.

So, He Qiaoyuan smiled again and said to Sun Chuanting: "Kang Chengzu is one of the old man's students, and he came to tell the old man about this. But now that the old man knows your intentions, he will naturally not dissuade him. You can rest assured that the old man will support you. But what are the consequences of this matter, it's best to think twice! ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that it was Kang Chengzu who was doing these small actions behind his back. After he knew it, he didn't move on the surface. Seeing that He Qiaoyuan had nothing else to do, he stood up and said goodbye.

Back at the governor's mansion, Sun Chuanting sat quietly for a long time before finally entering the chat group.

In fact, according to his original intention, he had to make achievements, so that he could contact the emperor. What is the matter of contacting the emperor at this time? However, Governor He reminded him that he was not a reckless man, so he had to send a private chat to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Fujian, Sun Chuanting, has a plan to play......

Although he had tried to give a brief summary of the general situation and his own plans, the content was still a bit long. What he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to reply to him: "Qing is doing great things for me, and I will naturally support Qing." Everything will be done according to Qing's own charter, and if there is anything, I will block it!"

Seeing this reply, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart. For this trust and support of the emperor, he couldn't help but have only one thought in his heart, the king treats him as a national soldier, and a certain will repay him with a national soldier!

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the government contacted Liu Xiang pirates, and also said that Liu Xiang also agreed, so in order to show sincerity, Hong Yunxuan and others went to Liu Xiang's pirate ship to negotiate the matter of recruiting peace.

As soon as Kang Chengzu heard this result, he suddenly became anxious again, and immediately ran to the governor's mansion again to inform his teacher He Qiaoyuan of the news, and at the end he seemed to be sincere and said: "Sun Zhongcheng is so bent on going his own way, the lower officials are nothing, and they have just died after doing their best, but Sun Zhongcheng has just come to Fujian, and the good situation has just begun. ”

He Qiaoyuan didn't speak for a long time, he didn't expect that he had said so much, and the relationship between them and the relationship was clear. But Sun Chuanting turned out to be unwilling to change his original intention, it seems that his character is really stubborn and a little cold-blooded. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates take big risks. In this regard, he is inferior to him. Maybe the emperor already knew that he was such a person, and if he was released, it was really possible to fulfill the emperor's expectations!

He naturally didn't know that it was with the emperor's support that Sun Chuanting could withstand the pressure and continue to act according to his own ideas!
