As for Huang Jin's statement that opening the sea is not feasible at present, this is okay. Although Emperor Jiajing is not impatient, he will not be able to wait even a year or two. Moreover, Yan Hong has already explained, the release of Xu Hai to appease Wang Zhizhi's heart, and Hu Zongxian's governor Zhejiang and Zhi, gradually approved part of the legal trade, in the old emperor's mind, if it is really such a gradual and complementary way, I am afraid that within a year or two, this open sea trade may really be partially realized.

At that time, the country's financial resources will be rolling, or Jiangnan will gradually settle down, not to mention, just say that the inner treasury can be greatly filled, and it will not be overstretched. Especially today's ministers and nobles, they have asked for salt to attract rewards, and the demand is a bit fierce, so that the supply exceeds demand, and those who have introduced the program have made it possible to attract no salt, because the salt has been taken away by the nobles. If we can really replace salt with boat guidance and open up another financial route, it will also be a good thing.

After summing up the left and right, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said: "It's very good, it's very good." Yan family boy, it's rare that you are so young and can think so thoroughly for the court. The old man is very relieved, Wenfu, you have added another tiger general to your subordinates. When the old man is happy in his heart, he loves to appreciate things. Yan Hong, what do you want? Let's just talk about it. ”

Yan Hong's heart couldn't help beating violently. I flickered around all night, or even months of hard work, in a sense, for this moment. He peeked at Lu Bing, but saw that Lu Bing's face was silent, and he didn't see any expression hints. He didn't know whether he should say it or not, if he said it, maybe the good impression he worked hard for overnight would come to naught?

But since things have come to this point, for the sake of Yuerong, I have to fight. Yan Hong was in a trance. It was as if I had seen that imaginary scene again. Sun Yuerong was forcibly violated by a strange man. And powerless to resist, waiting for himself to save her. He couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm, and then knelt down and kowtowed for the second time: "The old man is the true immortal of today, I can ask you for something, your old man is afraid that he already knows, and you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Jiajing nodded and said, "Bastard boy, since you call me an immortal, then I have to be an immortal first." I listened to Brother Lu. You have a crush on a woman, or a thief's girl, and now it seems that she is still married? Little rabbit cub, with your family background and appearance, what kind of woman do you want? I want to pick up that female thief, not afraid of making Yan Weizhong angry to death? Otherwise, I'll be your master, old man, and hire a lady to be your concubine. Although you have a wife, few people dare not give the old man's face. ”

Jiajing is not Lu Bing. What he said was not to write a blank check to Yan Hong. The so-called good family girl does not be a concubine with others, so it cannot be generalized. For example. The concubines of the Son of Heaven can actually be regarded as concubines in a broad sense, so how many people are still flocking to them and engaging in that frightening trick step by step?

If it is really the Son of Heaven who comes forward and decrees marriage, or even just a hint, then some people want to break their heads to fight for this place. Some people are bent on being officials and have no talent to learn, so they go around searching for magic and miracle medicines, just to change their background or promotion, what is a daughter?

As for reputation, although some people see reputation as more important than life, there are also many people who don't care about fame, but care about benefits. As long as the Son of Heaven is willing, so many good family ladies can indeed be chosen by Yan Hong. Since it is the Son of Heaven, the comprehensive quality is definitely not much worse. This is a perk-hearted perk for many people.

However, in Yan Hong's opinion, this benefit is really not so cute. He didn't expect the emperor to say such a sentence, as if he was persuading himself to give up Sun Yuerong and use another woman as compensation. And it's no wonder. In the eyes of others, marrying the daughter of a thief is already considered deviant, not to mention that the other party is now married to a wife. After all, the emperor is over fifty years old, and he is naturally a defender of traditional ideas.

、

If he conforms to the will of the Son of Heaven at this time, gives up the female thief, and accepts the emperor's marriage, then the ending can be described as a happy ending. Even for Sun Yuerong, this is not a bad luck, after all, it is the other party who marries first. And if you insist on not knowing how to lift up and not receiving the emperor's affection, then no one can say the result.

However, thinking of the scene in his nightmare, thinking of Sun Yuerong's vow with her own mountains and seas, and the look of thousands of words after a happy day, Yan Hong finally spoke: "Back to the old man's words, your old man's kindness will be rewarded, and the kid can't repay it with broken bones." But this matter of taking a concubine, Xiao Ke's mind has been decided, and I hope you can fulfill it. ”

At this time, he bowed his head and bowed, and he couldn't see Jiajing's expression. I only heard the other party's tone become gloomy: "Bastard, do you know how harmful and useless your request is?" By doing so, you are giving someone a handle. Just because you are a high-ranking official and noble, marrying a thief concubine is self-willing. In the future, as long as the imperial historian wants to impeach you, this romantic sin is a certainty, you can't even rely on it, and others can't protect it if they want to. For the sake of a woman, can you not want a future, a reputation, or your own life? ”

Yan Hong thought to himself, don't you want to be so ruthless, I'm just asking for a little wife, and I'm not marrying a thief. But when these words came out of the emperor's mouth, there was naturally an awe-inspiring deterrent. He only felt sweat running down his body. But at this time, he retreated, and his previous efforts were wasted, Yan Hongyi gritted his teeth and said: "Back to your old words, the kid had an appointment with this woman at the beginning, no matter what happened to her, he swore not to give up, and he had nothing to regret." What's more, she trusts her innocent body to the boy, and if she can't have a beginning and an end to her, she will have no face. ”

"Is there nothing to regret when you are crushed?" When Jiajing heard this, he sighed gloomily. At the beginning, Concubine Cao Duan, why didn't she want to do her best to save her life, but the beauty fell and died a miserable death. Even if you are rich, what can you do? Even if the murderer dies in the palace through the fire in the future, can Concubine Cao Duan come back to life?

Looking at the gentleman in front of him, he was obviously trembling with fright, but for the sake of a thief, and eighty percent of the thieves who were already married, they dared to be stubborn in front of him and refused to back down. This made Jiajing have a thought in a trance: What he didn't do back then, why don't you let this young man try it and see what he can do?

Therefore, Jiajing sneered and said: "What an idiot who can't get on the stage." That's it, that's it, the old man will fulfill you. Go home and wait for news. On your grandfather's side, there is also an old man who has taken care of it for you. ”

Yan Hong was like being amnestied, kowtowing and thanking him. Emperor Jiajing stood up and said, "You kid remember, if you do a good job of opening the sea, the old man will be able to keep you rich for the rest of your life." If you do other things well in the future, then it doesn't matter how many women you like. If you are lazy for the sake of being a woman, I will punish you severely. By the way, when you go back, tell your grandfather again, don't think too much about some things. If you scare yourself out, you'll have nothing. ”

Yan Hong naturally didn't know that Grandpa Lu Dao had been depressed for several days because of the matter of Wusezhi, so he didn't understand what the emperor meant. But he remembered well and nodded again and again.

After Jiajing and Huang Jin went downstairs, Lu Bingcai smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, you kid is lucky." If you have the Heavenly Family, your trip to Shandong this time will be counted as more than half. But I want to tell you, when you go to Shandong, you are not allowed to do anything wrong, if you provoke a civil uprising in Shandong, even the Son of Heaven will not be able to protect you. ”

Yan Hong didn't take it to heart. Although he went to rob people, he robbed the wife of a thief, what kind of civil uprising can he provoke? Just nod yes. Then, he got into the carriage with Lu Bing and went directly to the Governor's Mansion of Lu Dadu.

On the way home from Lu Mansion, Yan Hong's mind was all thinking about how to clean up that Lei Zhanbiao. He wasn't worried about comparisons in terms of combat effectiveness. If you go to Shandong with dozens of family members alone, it will naturally be more than lucky. But once you have the emperor's support, it's a completely two-nature thing. What he can mobilize is the genuine imperial court soldiers.

Whether it's Lei Zhanbiao or Sun Lie, the so-called Shandong Eighty-four Village is famous, but in fact, it is not like the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin, who can gather thousands or even tens of thousands of people at every turn. If there are really so many people, there is no need to fight, just eating food is enough to eat the cottage to bankruptcy.

And this kind of copycat alliance is more like a cooperative model of watching and helping each other. No one would be stupid enough to use all their wealth to help another cottage fight a losing battle. In this way, even if Lei Zhanbiao has Sun Lie's full support, he can make up 3,000 erlang to fight against the officers and soldiers, which is already the limit of Shandong's green forest.

The bandit rings the horse and has a fierce style, which is indeed not comparable to that of officers and soldiers. However, a thief is a thief, and when it comes to organizational discipline, it is not as good as commanding officers and soldiers. Moreover, the bandit coalition army also has to face the actual situation of multiple orders and ineffective command. Therefore, if it is really a knife and a shot, even if the officers and soldiers are not helpful, they can still win with more fights and fewer fights. Not to mention that in terms of equipment, officers and soldiers have armor, firecrackers and even cannons, which bandits do not have.

In the past, the reason why the bandits could survive was that the government was too lazy to suppress the bandits. After all, the input and output are not proportional, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the oil and water are not big if they win, and if they are defeated, they will face seizure of office, dismissal, and even beheading. Therefore, everyone has always turned a blind eye to the local bandits, and as long as it is not too noisy, they will not care.

Like the broken Dusong Village, after Yan Hong heard Rouge Tiger talk about it, he also inquired a little, only to know that this gang of bandits was too noisy, and he was so bold that he tied up a daughter-in-law who guarded the Taoist family, and when the ransom was not paid, he tore up the ticket, and it was said that the meat ticket was not innocent. As a result, this stabbed the hornet's nest, and the branch guarded the road to take out the family wealth and move around, mobilized a team of officers and soldiers to attack with their lives, and finally Dusong Village, which was known as the second in Shandong Green Forest, ended up with a total annihilation.
