Chapter 205: The way out given by Zhu Houhuang

The following were confused, looked at each other, and said secretly in their hearts: "Could it be that His Royal Highness King Cheng Yong can still persuade His Majesty to lift the ban on the sea?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Your Majesty has named Gu as the King of Yong, and the fief is Da Liuqiu. Take the feudal law of Zhou. The matter of Dongyong, the lonely Dongyong, the lonely Dongyong can't help but be forbidden by the sea. You can settle in Dongyong. Even if you go to the mainland as a Dongyong person, there is no problem. You can also see people openly, but Lone can not blame the previous things, but after that, in the future, whoever commits the ban of Lonely, Lone will also let Monk Xu taste the taste. ”

After listening to Zhu Houhuang's conditions, the following reactions were polarized. Some people are excited, while others feel like chicken ribs. These two kinds of people still reacted, and there were a group of people with blank expressions, motionless, and not moved by Zhu Houhuang's conditions at all.

This indifferent person, Zhu Houhuang also paid special attention to it. These were representatives sent by a few pirates. Because he is not the leader, he has no power to be in charge, just to bring an ear.

Zhu Houhuang didn't care, he knew that no condition would satisfy everyone.

"Your Highness, what conditions do you need to settle in Dongyong?"

"You can talk about this directly to the place where you settled." Zhu Houhuang said lightly. As for what conditions are needed, Zhu Houhuang has not yet thought about it. But there will definitely be conditions.

These maritime merchants who took great risks to run to the sea, compared with the salt merchants, may not be the most powerful people in the entire Ming Dynasty. But it is also an extremely wealthy group, how can Zhu Houhuang not want to scrape a layer of oil and water out of these people.

The people below know that there must be conditions. They are not afraid of having conditions, they are not afraid of not having conditions.

"Your Highness, if you don't settle in Dongyong, you can't run to the sea."

"Lone said, Dongyong can't help but ban the sea. It's just forbidden to be a traitor. You can wait to run to the sea, but you can't hurt people's lives. Zhu Houhuang said in a high-sounding voice.

In fact, killing a few people on the sea, and throwing the corpses into the sea, who will know that a murder like this, with the criminal investigation methods of this era, is almost a headless unsolved case. Zhu Houhuang wouldn't really expect these to become Buddhas who eat fasting and chant Buddha when they arrive in Dongyong, it's just that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, they can commit crimes, but as long as they are caught, then they will have their own destiny.

It's just that Zhu Houhuang can't tell them clearly this meaning.

The reason why some rules are unspoken rules is that they can only be done but not spoken.

"However, Lone is also waiting for you." Zhu Houhuang turned out another sign. "Lone's fleet will regularly travel back and forth between Japan and Dongyong, if you follow the fleet, Lone will ensure the safety of you. However, this treatment can only be enjoyed after becoming a lonely people. ”

Zhu Houhuang's offer of such conditions is not free, but naturally let them know what it means that only death and tax payment are not spared. However, Zhu Houhuang will not exhaust himself to fish.

The reason why Zhu Houhuang did this was because of the financial crisis. Lu Wan's large-scale construction required too much silver taels, and relying solely on the harvest of official trade hosted by the Shaofu could not fill this gap at all. Moreover, Zhu Houhuang also knew that his fleet would not be able to expand like an expanse for a while.

Without him, there are not enough ships.

Zhu Houhuang's largest batch of ships was still the warship he received from the Fujian Guard. With this batch of warships as the foundation, there is the current Yongguo Sailor.

The rest of the ships are captured and newly built, not to mention the captured, which is not a conventional means and is not sustainable. The newly built, Dongyong's shipyard has not yet been built. It all depends on the shipyards in Fujian, which takes time and the cost is also very high, Zhu Houhuang has already ordered two batches of ships in those shipyards, the first batch of ten five-masted ships. The second batch is also ten five-masted ships, which are also about to be built. These two batches of ships consumed a lot of Zhu Houhuang's silver. Zhu Houhuang also knows that there is too much oil and water flowing into the pockets of people who don't want to do it, even if Zhu Houhuang is a prince, he is helpless about this situation.

Therefore, if Zhu Houhuang wants to dig deep into the profits of trade, he must introduce private trade. Especially after Xu Song is about to negotiate with Jiangnan, he will eat all the goods in Jiangnan. A large amount of capacity must be needed, and with Zhu Houhuang's current capacity, unless all warships are excluded from transporting goods, I am afraid that there will be shortcomings.

Maybe in Xu Song's heart, there will be enough profits if he changes hands once, but in Zhu Houhuang, he wants to penetrate more deeply into the trade of the East China Sea Triangle.

This is also a means to learn from Zheng Zhilong, but Zhu Houhuang included these in the national tax revenue, rather than making any flags.

What needs to be said, it's done. Intentional nature will defect to Dongyong. People who don't have this meaning will soon find that the road to Jiangnan is impassable, and only when they go to Penghu can there be enough goods, and the goods in Penghu must be restricted before they can be sold, such as Yongguo people.

There are many means, Zhu Houhuang doesn't need to be instructed, an old official will instruct you to do this.

However, what Zhu Houhuang can solve by these means is only some small maritime businessmen, and the characters who are really rampant on the sea, do not look down on this little profit at all.

He is the leader of thousands of people at sea, and when he responds to everything, how can he be willing to be a common man. Moreover, the combat power in the hands of these big forces is not small, if they are all united, they will far exceed the strength in Zhu Houhuang's hands. Therefore, Zhu Houhuang will not waste more time with these people here.

As soon as Zhu Houhuang got off the high platform, he said to Li Liangqin: "Go and call those people over." ”

Li Liangqin nodded and said, "I'll go personally." ”

After a while, Zhu Houhuang wanted to have a secret conversation with the representatives of these pirates, and Li Liangqin personally went to greet them, just to determine the degree of danger. What kind of skills and strength these people have, they can't hide from Li Liangqin's eyes, if there are characters in them that Li Liangqin feels are tricky, Zhu Houhuang will not hesitate to postpone the talks.

It's a good thing there are no such characters. Li Liangqin invited all seven of them into a room. Zhu Houhuang had already secretly tasted tea inside.

As soon as a few people saw Zhu Houhuang, they saluted and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Yong." "It's just that the seven of them don't understand the etiquette of the court, and the salute is messy, but it seems to be a joke.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but smile and said, "No courtesy." ”

After the seven people were seated, the first person to speak was a reckless man. He had a beard on his face, covering his entire face, and his eyes were shining, and he said: "My brother, I said, the old and young people on the mountain rely on this money to live." King Yong cut off our wealth in this way, if we don't give an explanation. The brothers on the mountain had to come and fight hard with His Royal Highness King Yong, but His Royal Highness King Yong's daughter was a daughter, and the beautiful jade did not touch the crockpot. Your Highness, please think carefully. ”

While the reckless man was talking, he wanted to get up, but was glared at fiercely by Li Liangqin. He immediately felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, cold to the bone. So the speech immediately became softer. He knows that behind His Royal Highness King Yong, there is a person who can take your life anytime and anywhere. Who would dare to open his mouth.

Zhu Houhuang's heart flowed through the information of this reckless man.

This reckless man is from Lianyun Mountain. Lianyun Mountain is not in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the north of the Yangtze River. In the early years, there was a period of time when the north attached importance to shipping, for example, Liaodong belonged to the Shandong Buzheng Division. The connection between Shandong and Liaodong has always been by sea.

However, Lianyun Mountain is located in the north, and it does not attach much importance to the source of goods in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is one thing not to take a fancy to it, and it is another thing to be seized by someone for no reason. So this beard seems to be a reckless man, but what has always been emphasized is to give an explanation.

It can be seen that he also knows in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang was quietly sipping tea, without saying a word, Xu Dong stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhao, please be calm and don't be impatient." Otherwise, you will be invited out today. ”

Zhu Houhuang's gaze swept over one by one, and these seven people silently remembered the background behind these seven people in his heart. Secretly pondering, that one can be wooed, and that one can't be wooed.
