When Yan Hong heard this, he basically understood the situation, and immediately said: "I see, thank you sister for helping my brother." ”

Wang Cuiqiao said: "Brother Hong, you also understand, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is quite muddy. It's also my sister, I want to live in my hometown, but I haven't thought about it. Hey, with what Xu Lang did before, even if he wanted to be recruited, how could those people let him go? Do you want Xu Lang to revive the people and go to the sea to help the court maintain, this is simple, you really have to do it, but how to deal with all kinds of immortals? ”

Yan Hong said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let my brother-in-law do anything hopeless." I didn't hide it from my sister that this time, my younger brother not only wanted to recruit An's brother-in-law, but also An's old shipowner Wang Zhi. I want to recruit the Japanese robbers along the coast one by one, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty will not fight each other at sea and protect the peace of the Ming Dynasty. As for the matter of the sea ban, I will also do my best to open the sea ban and give thousands of Ming people a way to live. If I don't succeed, there will be my grandfather Yan Ge Lao. He is an old man with hands and eyes, and he always has to find a way to get rid of this disadvantage for me. These words were said loudly, and his face was extremely solemn.

Yan Hong's words were not impulsive. In the few historical knowledge in his memory of his previous life, Gu Fatzi did not talk about the harm of the Ming Dynasty's sea-locking policy, and Wang Cuiqiao's introduction confirmed this. All of these made him firm in his belief that he should indeed find a way to open the sea ban.

This has nothing to do with "opening your eyes to see the world". In the Jiajing era, there was no need for foreigners to open their eyes to see, and objectively speaking, they couldn't see anything when they opened their eyes. You can't let the dignified Ming learn colonization and robbery, right? That's a bit of a price drop.

However, the direct problem brought about by the lock of the sea is that the coastal residents are forced by life to take risks and become pirates who harm the locality, which in turn destroys the tax areas of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the loss of the imperial court and the loss of the people. The only people who benefited from this process were the interest groups formed by some underworld businessmen, corrupt officials, and pirate leaders.

Once the sea ban is lifted, the common people will certainly gain benefits through legitimate commerce and supporting industries, and will no longer become robbers, and the state can also collect taxes seriously. Thirty taxes are not much, but they can't stand a large base. Relying on the huge profits of maritime trade, the tax collected by the 30 tax is also astronomical, not to mention that the country can also directly participate in trade, why not make this money?

Of course, Yan Hong also knew how difficult it was to open the sea. But he was determined to come and do it. He had heard the fat man say that the port would open to the sea in a month, but apart from this term, he couldn't remember any other information. I don't have any impression of where Yuegang is, when it was done, and who did it. The only impression is that although the port was a small port and the opening of the sea was restricted, Rao heard that the country still received a huge amount of silver from it.

If you have money to earn, how can you give it up? The capitalists can risk guillotining for the sake of 300 percent profits! What's more, he also has the trump card of family background. It is said that he can't use his grandfather's energy, maybe after contributing to this matter, the emperor will be reluctant to raid his house when he sees the white silver, and by the way, he will avoid his father's beheading.

In addition, Yan Hong is enthusiastic about this matter, and another reason is that he can't talk about it to anyone when he is killed. That is, if according to the development of history, the big tree in my own house, I don't know when the road will collapse instantly, my father will be beheaded, and my grandfather will be starved to death.

But if you have a relationship with overseas through the opening of the sea, when you really get to that point, you can also smear oil on the soles of your feet and slip away. Even if it is impossible for the whole family to run, at least their wives and concubines will run as much as they can, and as much gold and silver treasures can be swept away. Come and smuggle away with money and become a rich man overseas, just as happy. After all, today's Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to pursue across borders and oceans. I heard that there was another emperor in the Ming Dynasty who also fled overseas, and another emperor sent Zheng He to the West to find him. What's the matter, could it be that Emperor Jiajing is still willing to make a fool of himself and launch another trip to the West? He is also self-aware, and he doesn't have such a big face.

As for speaking of rebellion? Yan Hong's head had never been patted by the door, and from beginning to end, he had never thought of such a means of two hundred and five without four or six. That's suicide, not self-help. Although the Ming Dynasty has all kinds of problems today, which big country has no problems at all? Daming's problem is not serious at all to the point where the people are struggling to make a living, and the masses are raging. Therefore, whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the Black Lotus Sect or the Red Lotus Sect, if they want to rebel, they are all working against the vast number of feudal masses, and if they want to do this, it will be the same. Therefore, there are two ways for him to save himself, either to please the emperor or to run away. It's just that his current official position is small, and it is too slim to please the emperor, and he is not even qualified to see the emperor at present; It's too early to run, it's time to pave the back road.

It's just that if you say this layer of thoughts, it will not only seem absurd, but also make Wang Cuiqiao look down on it. And once she thinks that Yan Fu's own roots are not hard, what qualifications does she have to cooperate with her?

Therefore, at this time, Yan Hong has completely dressed himself up as a famous minister who worries about the country and the people, and takes the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, as if in countless novels that have passed through a certain point, the egg pain crossing predecessors who always think that they have to take on some historical mission have all fallen on Yan Hong's body, talking eloquently there, talking about the benefits of opening the sea, the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the well-being of the people, etc. Anyway, doing insurance sales, being good at fooling and drawing blueprints is a major feature, and first of all, you must fool yourself so that you are convinced, so that you can unite your body and mind and infect others. When it comes to worrying, I really burst into tears.

Wang Cuiqiao saw that this gentleman didn't have the appearance of a hippie smile, but made a generous statement, a serious one, but suddenly seemed to see a benefactor who had received a few years ago.

Once upon a time, the scholar named Xu Wei had similar words, and he was also addicted to them at that time, and almost decided that this person was his good match. After all, the poor student had nothing to do with him, but what attracted him at that time was this appearance of turning the tide.

Now this Yan Hong, how many times stronger than the original Xu Wei? Although talent is far from learning, but for yourself, what does it matter if you are talented? She suddenly found that she had unconsciously looked at Yan Hong a lot.

Yan Hong peeked at Wang Cuiqiao's face, secretly smug in his heart, and replied: "I also know that opening up the sea trade is not an overnight effort, and I am afraid it will take years, decades, or even generations of successive efforts. But, so what? Everything is difficult at the beginning, and someone has to make this first effort. Even if I can't see the achievements in my own house, it will be worth it to let the coastal people of future generations for decades or a hundred years no longer suffer from the forbidden sea! ”

Wang Cuiqiao is almost impressed by the five-body throw to the ground at this time. She followed Xu Hai, living a life of rolling on the tip of a knife and pilaf in a blood basin, with tonight's rest and asking the Ming Dynasty, where did you want to get so far? It was she who persuaded Xu Hai to accept Zhao'an and plan for the rest of his life, which was already quite rare and far-sighted. And now this young man with a hippie smile actually said that he is willing to make efforts for the people in a hundred years. Realm! Vision! O bosom! Wang Cuiqiao was shocked nakedly.

As the so-called adding fuel to the fire, the audience's concentration stimulates the passion of the foolers, and Yan Hong also becomes more and more excited the more he talks: "Since it is said that the sea is to be opened, first of all, we must always ensure that the sea route is unobstructed." If the ship goes to sea, it will suffer, and everyone will not have the heart to go to sea to run business. If you have to bring your own musket and cannon to protect yourself, then everyone is waiting to rob others, so why bother to do business yourself? Therefore, if we want to ensure the smooth passage of the sea, we must be calm in all directions, and we must not run rampant on the sea. And now, as you said, sister, the imperial court sailors are weak and inconvenient to command, and it is difficult to deter the bandits. If you want to pacify the thieves, you can't do without my brother-in-law. That's where I rely on him. ”

Wang Cuiqiao heard him still say this, and couldn't help but interject: "Brother Hong, my sister really admires your ambition." However, with your brother-in-law's current strength, I'm afraid it's really difficult to take on this big responsibility. ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "Don't worry, the younger brother doesn't want his brother-in-law to go and cut down with a few other people, just want him to echo the court." The old shipowner Wang Zhixiong dominates the side, and he is the king of the sea. If the two mouths of the court go to talk to him about Zhao'an, and simply make peace with him, he may not be willing. With my brother-in-law's team here, this matter is much easier to talk about. ”

In fact, Yan Hong still has an idea that he didn't say, that is, there must be his own people on the sea, otherwise these gangs of wouldn't be afraid of power, how to ensure that they won't claim to put down the butcher's knife in their mouths and secretly do promising jobs like robbers? To be able to pull Xu Hai over today is to remove the first net buckle from the strange-shaped net of the Japanese Kou. Playing Xu Hai's card well may cause a chain reaction later. At the same time, no matter what form the opening of the sea takes, the benefits must also be seen to those who support the opening of the sea. In this process, "exterminating the murderers" and "doing business legally" are two moves at the same time. With Xu Hai here, the first batch of legal business teams in the future of the imperial court will have more guarantees.

Wang Cuiqiao was also inspired by his enthusiasm, and secretly thought, listening to this Yan Gongzi, what he said is really the head. With his family connections, the Holy Grace Youlong may be able to really accomplish this thing, but it is not known. Thinking that if the Ming Dynasty can open the sea and trade, it will be a good situation for all the people to work happily, so that this pirate lady, who has endured hardships and exiles for a long time and has always only cared about the bitterness and happiness of herself and her relatives, can't help but feel agitated and have the heart to seek for the world.

She thought for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, although the old shipowner has tens of thousands of troops under his command and has the advantage of guns and cannons, he is still a businessman. I heard that some time ago, Mr. Hu had sent a gentleman surnamed Jiang to contact the old shipowner. However, the old shipowner is still suspicious, especially your brother-in-law was imprisoned after recruiting An, which made the old shipowner and his left and right doubt the sincerity of the imperial court. ”

Yan Hong said: "This is the county order surnamed Lin is hateful!" He wanted to kill his brother-in-law, but he forced tens of thousands of people into prisoners. At this point, the little brother must rescue his brother-in-law! ”

Wang Cuiqiao said again: "That Chen Dong and Ye Ma are full of robbers. They lived mainly on plunder, and instead of doing business themselves, they often extorted fleets. If the sea is really opened, they are afraid that they will not be able to reap any benefits. These people are cruel and murderous, and they don't care about recruiting people. This time Xu Lang was taken, they took the opportunity to make waves on the sea, under the banner of avenging Xu Lang, bewitching Xu Lang's subordinates, and making a fuss to attack Shaoxing. ”
