Yang Changfan ignored the past suspicions and ordered Hu Zongxian to lead the political affairs of Penghu, although the old leaders were dissatisfied, but now Yang Changfan is powerful, and this cause is really doing well, and there is a tendency to whitewash, so he doesn't care much.

After all, military power has never been allowed to Hu Zongxian.

On the one hand, he couldn't figure out when he would return to the imperial court, and on the other hand, Yang Changfan really thought that he was not a talent for war, and he couldn't turn him in the East China Sea.

A few days later, the news spread to the other side, first there were bold fishermen who came to fish, and saw that the thieves who burned Hangzhou not only did not stop or rob, but also cooperated very well to point out where there were many fish, so they were relieved.

The number of fishermen has increased, and the homeless people have begun to return, and the simple houses they built in Penghu have not been touched at all, and the so-called pirates have built another barracks, and they have also negotiated to let them transport rice and grain from Fujian to sell, which has damaged the nomads who are in danger of the day, and the supplies in Penghu have gradually become rich under their frequent exchanges, and the pockets of the nomads have also bulged.

The so-called nomads are homeless, no-farm, uprooted people, who have no courage to be pirates, no way to smuggle, such people are either scattered everywhere, starvation, sickness, old age, or arrested by the government to confiscate the army, or caught by bandits as thieves, never thought that the island of Penghu can make a fortune in just a few months back and forth to Fujian. All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of homeless people and businessmen from Fujian, and the small Penghu was about to burst.

Although the imperial court's decision to "wait for Ji Liao to retreat, and then encircle and suppress Penghu", he still thinks that it is necessary to strengthen border defense, especially the implementation of the ban on the sea, after all, the small Penghu is not a place to produce grain, and they will starve to death if they are cut off from supplies.

However, a wonderful thing happened, the so-called Yang Changfan guards the country, not only guarding the south gate, but also guarding the north gate, since the fleet came to Penghu, there is no more wreckage along the coast of Fujian, is the Japanese also afraid of its strength?

Ruan Que is a hard persimmon, even so he still wants to pay close attention, but the trend is unstoppable, he can't deploy a soldier every other zhang along the coast of Fujian to prohibit everyone from going to sea, and he can't inspect and monitor every fishing boat.

Thinking back to the year of Hongwu Yongle, this kind of monitoring was actually done, every ship was under the control of the imperial court, and every time it went to sea and entered the port, the goods had to be inspected, the supplies could not be brought too much, the contraband could not exist, and the obsolete would be heavily punished.

But the situation has evolved to this day, first of all, the atmosphere does not allow it, and secondly, if it is done now, it is equivalent to forcing all the people who make a living from the sea to rebel. What's more, a number of officials in the southeast who advocated such a strict policy and a ban on the sea have been impeached in coffins.

People change with the times, and hard persimmons like Ruan Que have to gradually become softer, because they will die if they are too hard.

At this point, Yang Changfan and his party, who burned Hangzhou, began their honeymoon period on Penghu Island and Fujian across the sea.

Previously, for Wang Zhi, Penghu was nothing more than a supply point and a pedal. At present, Yang Changfan decided to make it a hub between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the future trade will be here, and I will transport the goods from the south and collect the goods from the north.

Wang Zhi also did similar things, but his foothold was Zhoushan, which ended in failure.

Standing on the shoulders of those who came before me, I learned from the pain.

Wang Zhi believed too much in the secret deal reached with the government, thinking that the Cen Hong Kong trade was beneficial to all parties, and the imperial court would not send troops to encircle and suppress, but Yu Dayou was coming, in order not to formally confront the Ming court, Wang Zhi had to abandon Hong Kong and flee, leaving the great cause in Kyushu.

Looking at the lessons of the collapse of the once most prosperous trading port, Yang Changfan established three principles.

First, the transfer of the base from Kyushu to this place is similar to the move of Yongle to Beijing, and if the capital is destroyed, the country will die, leaving no way out.

Second, always maintain the force that is enough to threaten the Ming court, and never believe in the so-called peace and deal.

Third, the economy and people's livelihood will gradually benefit Fujian, so that Fujian can taste the sweetness and develop into a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship, just like the future Sino-US relations, no one can do anything else, and everyone will collapse.

Under this management, by April of the 39th year of Jiajing, the Penghu Islands had grown at an unimaginable speed, and thanks to the convenience of the Penghu hub, the income quickly recovered to the heyday of Wang Zhi.

Now the new port on the main island of Penghu has been full of ships from all sides, and the surrounding Penghu islands also have their own livelihoods.

"Ship owner, Furlong Machine's cargo is in storage." Zhao's rough voice interrupted Yang Changfan's imagination.

Yang Changfan didn't want to stop, he only waved his arm and said: "Bald head, how do you see the scenery of Penghu compared to Cen Gang?" ”

Zhao Guangtou was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Yang Changfan: "It's hard to say who is more lively, but there are rules here than Cen Gang back then." ”

"How?"

"It's good to be in charge of the ship, strict discipline, adapt measures to local conditions, plan early, have warehouses and cargo ports, and have markets and barracks." Zhao Guangtou smiled and pointed to the depths of the main island, "Maybe the owner of the ship doesn't know yet, it's already a kiln there." ”

"Kiln?"

Zhao Guangtou scratched his head and smiled: "We have a lot of gentlemen here, and many ladies on the other side of the strait have come to us to do business, more than ten ...... a night."

"Stop." Yang Changfan raised his hand and said, "You've been there too?" ”

"How could I go to a place like that!" The bald man said awe-inspiringly.

"Be careful in this matter, Sister Yao'er's business is too dense and concentrated, and it is easy to get sick." Yang Changfan pointed out very seriously, "Let the leaders pay attention, now is the time to exert force, it is not good to come to thousands of people to get dirty." ”

Zhao Guangtou laughed: "The old shipowner is really true to you, and you can think about everything so thoroughly." ”

"Where, I just use the false name of the owner of the ship to facilitate dealing with all parties, and this business is still a young master." Yang Changfan said and pondered, "Almost, it's time to take the young master over......"

"This place can't fit it!" Zhao Guangtou said again and again, "Besides, Kyushu is so comfortable, I'm afraid the young master is reluctant to come." ”

"It's true that I can't fit it." Yang Changfan cupped his cheeks and said, "The family members of the brothers are not easy to come, no wonder Sister Yao'er has a good business." ”

After that, he turned to look east: "Accumulate another batch of materials, and prepare to go to Dongfan." ”

"So fast? Are we standing firm in Penghu? ”

"It's going to be fast, and it's too late if it's slow."

While the two were talking, Hu Zongxian led two Francophone people to the port.

One of them, with short hair and a high neck, was as tall as Yang Changfan, it was Franc Merchant Kui Sha Jialu, who had been in Macau for nearly ten years and spoke fluent Cantonese.

Some exist, inevitably, pervasively.

"Shipmaster!" Sagaru waved enthusiastically, "Big business!" (To be continued.) )
