Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi and Wang Zhi enjoyed themselves at the dinner table.

Zhu Houzhao actually felt a deep loneliness from Wang Zhi's eyes and words, and this loneliness can only be felt by himself.

"When will the road work, when will it not work, Mr. Wang, I see the sign you put up on the dock, I want to ask you a question." Zhu Houzhao said,

"This question, when will the Tao work, it will naturally depend on the luck, I think I Wang Zhi is peerless, and I have also buried my head in the imperial examination, but later I feel that it is really not suitable for me, I am eager to show my skills in the wind and rain, you see I once went to the sea to do business with Luzon and other countries, and now I am doing business with Dongying, which can be regarded as galloping on the sea, but I can't get recognition in the traditional sense, and the Oriental brothers think that my Tao is good or not." Wang Zhi said,

"What Brother Wang means is to ask the court to recognize the legality of your trade, and to recognize that your talent has brought benefits to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao said,

"If that's of course the best, at least it's not like being called a widow like now, and I don't know where the fate in the future will be." Wang Zhi said,

"But why didn't Brother Wang continue to work hard to show his talent for entry, is it what Brother Wang said, the trouble of people lies in the belt standing in the court." Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Yes, when I was studying hard, I was depressed, I felt that I should go to the sea, I liked the sea since I was a child, and I did feel very depressed when I read a few books for more than ten years, when I went to the sea, I saw that those ministers of the DPRK and China were doing nothing, only knowing that they were busy for the black yarn, that kind of life was really not suitable for me, and I didn't think that kind of approach could do things for the people." Wang Zhi said,

"However, the imperial court elects officials, where does it come from the imperial examination, although those ministers are a lot of inaction, but after all, many have done a lot of things, otherwise how can such a big country make it orderly, although individual talent is good, but if the individual does not integrate into a team, how can he show his talent, since ancient times, people who want to do things, the road to the official is unavoidable for anyone, although the ancient ministers have suffered countless debasements, but can still do the heart in the court, the country in the peopleWhen the country thinks of them, they can still use their talents, they are called loyal ministers, Fan Zhongyan said, "The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world" is such a person, Qu Yuan suffered grievances, but also cared about the country, and finally heard that the country perished and sank into the river, and future generations will always remember him, which shows that loyalty and patriotism are the eternal measure in the hearts of the people. Zhu Houzhao said,

At this time, Feng Zhongyan and Mu Lan were a little worried about Zhu Houzhao, thinking that he shouldn't say such a thing, in case Wang Zhi was suspicious, it would be very troublesome, they looked at Zhu Houzhao,

But Zhu Houzhao still finished speaking slowly, because he felt that since he had reached this time, it was really a pity not to say it, and he might not regret it for himself and Wang Zhi in this life, but the dialogue at this moment was not a dialogue between a pirate and a king, but a dialogue between a pirate and an antique dealer.

"Brother Dongfang will really say, do Brother Dongfang think I am wrong?" Wang Zhi said,

"It's not wrong, I just think Brother Wang is a hero, and you feel that you have a deep loneliness in the wine and talk, so I casually said the words in my heart, you must have always felt wronged in your heart, I will help you finish the words, maybe you will be at peace in your heart, of course, the road in the future is for you to go by yourself, but there are some truths you have to know, just like myself, I am tired of reading, I will go to learn to do business, identify antiques and acquire antiques, if it is not for this business, I will not go to the sea to see Mr. Wang you, It's just that we are Chinese after all, and some truths are hidden in our hearts, we actually know right and wrong, in fact, you know it yourself. Zhu Houzhao said,

"Alas, in fact, I also understand what you said, and they are all people who have read the books of sages." Wang Zhi said,

"Well, do you have any suggestions for me in the future, I would like to hear Gao Jian" Wang Zhi said,

"Brother Wang, I am also a businessman, I can say anything, but the reality has to continue, I just keep running for business, Brother Wang now has such a big career, where to go must be Brother Wang's own decision, but if you don't want to do it, you must leave a way back." Zhu Houzhao said,

Wang Zhi looked at Zhu Houzhao at the moment, he felt in his heart that Zhu Houzhao was not simple, it was not simple, but at this moment Wang Zhi was thinking about his own affairs, and he didn't have the energy to think about Zhu Houzhao, he was just thinking about Zhu Houzhao's words,

"Come, Brother Dongfang, let's do it, Miss Akiko, friends, come and drink." Wang Zhi said to everyone,

"Mr. Wang, please." Everyone, raise your glass,

The wine entered his stomach, Wang Zhi said to Zhu Houzhao: "There are some things, I also know, at the beginning I was just doing business with the Luzon countries, and later I did business with the princes of Dongying, but the most lacking thing for the princes was guns, so I began to do the gun business, as soon as this business was done, I often encountered pirates who were rampant on the sea, I was thinking about why I had to be bullied by pirates, so I set up a warship escort, I had so many artillery guns in my hands, where were those pirates my opponents, and then my escort team became bigger and bigger, and I had to recruit people, All kinds of people came, including many who were originally pirates, and many of them were not satisfied with the money they got, so they proposed to do big business, and later I agreed, and went to the coast of the Central Plains to do big business, alas, step by step. Wang Zhi said,

"Alas, if they don't go to the coast to raid, maybe the imperial court won't really have a big opinion on you, maybe just turn a blind eye." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Alas, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, if I want to maintain it, I have to ask for money, my subordinates have tasted the sweetness, and I can't hold it back, what do you say I should do." Wang Zhi said,

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Zhi, because of too much drinking, his eyes were red at the moment, Zhu Houzhao knew that he couldn't convince him, and it was not the time to persuade at this moment, Wang Zhi's character was like this, he may have remorse in his heart, but his competitiveness was too strong, he would not put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, and Wang Zhi had so many subordinates, he couldn't fully control it, Wang Zhi's control of his subordinates was to let his subordinates get benefits, if those subordinates couldn't get benefits, Wang Zhi couldn't control it,

If he loses everything in front of him, it is estimated that Wang Zhi is also unwilling.

Zhu Houzhao sighed, he looked at Wang Zhi in front of him, and thought to himself, most of them will still meet each other in the future.

It's just that at this moment in this foreign land, Zhu Houzhao saw this person who had created a brilliant career, this hero, Zhu Houzhao also had respect in his heart, although Zhu Houzhao was very resentful of his behavior of plundering the coast,
