Li Shuisheng also seemed to want to know what rhetoric this young official would use to recruit him, so he relied on the courage of a master of the arts, and followed Fan Jinyan to become nameless.

Fan Jinyan saw Li Shuisheng come in, and after persuading the two girls who followed the house to protect him, he made a gesture to sit.

Li Shuisheng was not polite, and after sitting down, he clenched his fists and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Since Brother Li is bold, then the official is not polite." Fan Jinyan smiled slightly and continued: "If you want the people of Qiongzhou to get out of the sea of suffering, only He Yi and his comrades will die. ”

When the words fell, Li Shuisheng's eyes suddenly burst out with a fine light, He Yi and him had a grudge against him, in the past ten years, he didn't know how many methods he had used, how many killers he had hired, but he had not succeeded in taking revenge, when he heard Fan Jinyan's words, how not to be excited.

However, the excitement in his heart was quickly suppressed by reason. If He Yi is so easy to kill, he doesn't have to wait for a full thirteen years, this old man of Zhizhou is talking big, "How are you going to kill this thief?" What do you want to do with the grass people? ”

Even if there is a slight opportunity, he will not let it go, even if Fan Jinyan is just talking big.

Fan Jinyan knew that Li Shuisheng and He Yi had a grudge, so he planned to use the hatred between them to make Li Shuisheng follow him wholeheartedly, thinking of this, he continued: "It's not difficult to kill him, but after killing him, it will be difficult for us." ”

"How can you kill him?" Li Shuisheng is not stupid, if the plan is not feasible, a fool will do it with you.

Fan Jinyan didn't intend to hide it, and continued: "The reason why He Yi can be the king and hegemon is nothing more than the 3,000 foot soldiers of Qiongzhou Wei and the first sailor stationed in Wanzhou Port. He has soldiers, and his own officers have soldiers. Now the official has scattered his troops and horses in various states and counties, allowing them to freely recruit troops and disrupt the localities. First, it can attract He Yi's attention, and second, it can use war to nourish the war, and then it can quickly become an army. As long as the time is ripe, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the guard will not obediently ambush them. By then, will He Yi still run away?"

When he heard that Fan Jinyan planned to recruit 5,000 soldiers, Li Shuisheng was really taken aback, what a big deal, this is to take the entire Qiongzhou in one fell swoop!

However, he also instantly understood what Fan Jinyan meant by soliciting himself. When he was fighting just now, he could obviously feel that the sailor on the nameless number was a recruit, and he wanted to help him train the sailor and deal with the sailors of the imperial court?

Thinking of this, Li Shuisheng said: "Do you know how many ships there are in the Guangzhou Navy? I wonder how many boats there are? ”

After Fan Jinyan raised a finger, he shook his head again, indicating that he didn't know.

"There are thousands of large and small battlefields, but my lord is one! Don't talk about me Li Shuisheng in this battle, even the gods can't win it. Li Shuisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, obviously thinking that Fan Jinyan was whimsical.

"Huh." Fan Jinyan sneered, "What? Are you scared? ”

Li Shuisheng was not angry, and still said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but I know that it's a dead end and I want my brothers to die. ”

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, completely forgetting that he was still a captive.

"Don't you want to hear about my plan?" Fan Jinyan seemed to be talking to himself, "There are many pirates in the South Seas, the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese, the Nanyang countries, and the Western Franc machine, I think these are added together, not a thousand, but also eight hundred!" If they help, can the broken ships of the imperial court sailors win? ”

Hearing this, Li Shuisheng turned his head abruptly and looked at Fan Jinyan with a calm face in shock.

What a big deal.

However, Li Shuisheng still didn't understand, "How can adults subdue these pirates?" They're not as talkative as grass people. ”

"Huh." Fan Jinyan smiled and said indifferently: "Those who can pull and pull, and those who can't pull until they are served, there is only one condition that this official can give them, to divide the South Seas equally." Of course, before that, we must also have enough strength to talk to them. ”

Divide the South Seas equally?

Is it just to get Qiongzhou?

No, his ambitions are greater than He Yi's.

Even if the pirates get the land, will they be truly stable?

When he has the largest fleet in the entire South Seas, it should be the end of the pirates!

Wealth and danger are sought, not only can you take revenge, maybe you can also get a background, why not do it?

Besides, he told himself so much, if he didn't surrender, would he still be able to get out alive?

Thinking of this, Li Shuisheng stopped talking nonsense, knelt down on one knee, lowered his arrogant head, and swore allegiance to Fan Jinyan, "From now on, I, Li Shuisheng, will hand over my life to the adult, and I hope the adult will take it in." ”

Fan Jinyan was waiting for this sentence, got up and raised his hand to pull Li Shuisheng, and said: "As long as you don't live up to me, this official will definitely live up to you." ”

After some politeness, Fan Jinyan finally got the reason why He Yi forbade the sea in Li Shuisheng.

It turns out that there is more than one reason for this.

Tobacco has been there since ancient times, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was popular in the whole country, and some people even thought that tobacco could be eaten as food, at that time there was a book called "Food Materia Medica", which recorded that "where you eat tobacco, hunger can make you full, full can make you hungry, wake up can make you drunk, drunk can wake up, all depression and depression can be used for pastime, so it is also called forgetting worries." ”

It can be seen that the prevalence of tobacco is even more crazy and fearful than Fan Jinyan's era, and the saying that tobacco and alcohol do not leave home has also been passed down from this era to future generations.

Zhu Youzhen once ordered a nationwide ban on smoking, not because tobacco harms people's bodies, but because he is superstitious. At that time, Beijing was called Yanjing again, and there were rumors that the world was rising, and there were rumors related to the word smoke, Chongzhen believed that it was tobacco that caused the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Lao Tzu called to quit smoking, and destroyed tobacco everywhere in the country, but how to quit this addiction?

At this time, some people discovered the use of opium, not only refreshed by tobacco, but also did not have the smell of smoke, and the name would not be offended, so opium smoking began to prevail in Jiangnan again.

But that thing is not produced locally, and can only be shipped by sea. After it prevailed for a while, it was banned again, because opium was commonly known as the big smoke.

Isn't the big smoke a swallow? I can't help but ban anyone.

Smuggling became prevalent at this time, and Qiongzhou's unique location became an important transit point for the smuggling industry.

In order to prevent the people from going to the sea to leak the news, He Yi ordered the sea to be banned.

But this is only one of the reasons for the ban on the sea, human trafficking is also one of them, after the beauties paid by the villages and towns every year are trained in Qiongzhou, some of them will be sold to Nanyang countries at a high price, and even resold to the West.

There is another important reason, He Yi is anti-minded, many pirates are pirates on the surface, but in fact they are loyal to He Yi. The reason why Li Shuisheng knew this was entirely because He Yi had sent someone to contact him.

Paradise Village is obviously also the handiwork of the Great Prefect He, and those queens and princesses who were captured to Nanyang must have done a good deed by the pirates who were loyal to him.

He Yi did all this, undoubtedly preparing for a rebellion.

But he didn't know that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and Fan Jinyan also had the same purpose as him.

I just don't know if Fan Jinyan, the dragon who crossed the river, can kill He Yi, the low-headed snake.

But what puzzled Fan Jin the most was that because of these reasons that had nothing to do with the people, the sea was banned, resulting in the people being miserable, either sick or having their heads caught by the girls.

Now he really wanted to send two words to He Yi, "Idiot." ”
