Zhao Jiaren looked intently at the content submitted by Sima Kao about the judiciary in the Nautical Guild, which was one of the many jobs he had distributed.

The Nautical Guild was a new organization that Zhao Jiaren decided to build, and the core of this guild was naturally Zhao Jiaren's fleet. On the periphery are shipowners who are willing to invest and cooperate. Zhao Jiaren himself is not worried about no one to cooperate, and this trip to the South China Sea did not encounter typhoons. The ships suffered little damage.

Unlike other fleets in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren had advanced theories, longitude and latitude concepts, and measurement tools and data. In the vast sea, as long as the weather is not too bad, Zhao Jiaren's fleet knows where the destination is and how far away it is. Sooner or later, the other ships will feel this, and finally follow Zhao Jiaren with all their hearts.

At least there is such self-confidence in the judicial charter proposed by Sima Kao. Although the ship is owned by the owner, it is forbidden to kill or injure people on board. If there is a theft by the crew, each ship only has the power to arrest it. At best, they can be imprisoned, and the crew cannot be lynched. There are many of these regulations, and it can be seen that Sima Kao's judges in recent years have not been in vain. However, there is only one core to all the regulations, and the jurisdiction of the Nautical Guild is assumed by Zhao Jiaren's fleet.

Zhao Jiaren was not familiar with the specific judiciary, and when he saw that the content proposed by Sima Kao was okay, he passed it. Of course, there is no problem in enforcing the laws of the Great Song Dynasty at sea, but if Zhao Jiaren dares to adjust the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is in a private guild, it will be a big matter if it is known. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to get into such trouble.

After reading these parts, the next step is the personnel of the Nautical Guild. Now a total of nine people have been approved. The family that killed people at sea in the previous paragraph refused to kill their relatives in righteousness, and Zhao Jiaren could only regretfully exclude them from the personnel. The other seven pro-Zhao Jiaren forces, including the Qi family, and one is Zhao Yichang, who is willing to uphold justice. This Zhao Yichang is still the only two Zhao family among the nine people.

Zhao Jiaren has read the case file, and Zhao Yichang did not do evil in the whole matter. He even protected the other one who was almost killed in a critical moment. Zhao Jiaren even suspected that the investigation was inaccurate, and Zhao Yichang was never a person who felt righteous and awe-inspiring. In any case, there is no reason to make things difficult for the law-abiding people. If Zhao Yichang really abides by the law, it is not a bad thing for the Navigation Guild.

On the first day of the seventh month of the third year of Jingding, the trial of the case concerning murder at sea was concluded. The main offender was sentenced to one accidental homicide, one attempted intentional homicide, and finally sentenced to hanging. The other four minions were sentenced to shackles. This kind of murder case cannot be decided by Zhizhou alone, and Zhao Jiaren has to submit the case to Dali Temple, which is the highest judicial body in the country to review and handle. If Dali Temple finally agrees, Zhao Jiaren can prepare for execution after receiving the approval.

After sending out this notice first, Zhao Jiaren felt that he had intimidated the lawlessness and expressed his attitude, so he convened a meeting of the Navigation Guild. Judging by the performance of those attendees, Zhao Jiaren felt that his intimidation was lawless. The participants did not have a look of fear or fear, and their faces were very happy because they could make money.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Jiaren took the lead in opening. "Everyone made money on this voyage, but there were also a lot of things. The reason for convening this nautical guild is that I feel that everyone can be trusted to abide by the law during the last voyage, so I invite you. ”

The representative of the Qi family immediately sang the Honey Sutra to Zhao Jiaren, "We just borrowed Zhao Zhizhou's tiger power." I heard that in the strait controlled by Sriwijayaya, Sriwijayaya's military ships were vulnerable in front of Zhao Zhizhou's fleet. If there is no Zhao Zhizhou to escort us, I am afraid that we will be knocked hard by the Three Buddhas. ”

Zhao Jiaren actually hoped to solve the problem with the Three Buddhas through diplomatic means, but Zhao Jiaren did not dare to pretend to be an official of the Great Song Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with the Three Buddhas. What's more, the establishment of diplomatic relations will not make the greedy Sriwijaya give up the high customs duties. Since this is the case, then you can only learn the style of the Age of Discovery, and if you want to give orders to Lao Tzu, you can send warships that Lao Tzu can't deal with.

There is no need for idiots in the nautical guild, and Zhao Jiaren is not moved by this compliment at all. The powerful force itself is part of the appeal of the Navigation Guild, and those people follow Zhao Jiaren not because of Zhao Jiaren's royal spirit, but because Zhao Jiaren can really solve difficulties that others can't solve.

"But I don't know when this trip to the south will be?" Already people who are anxious are starting to ask.

Zhao Jiaren looked at the representative of the Chen family, but he was too lazy to answer. It's only the second day of July, and it's at least four months before heading south. If the Chen family didn't even have this minimum idea, they could be expelled from the Navigation Guild.

Everyone sat down, and Zhao Jiaren handed out a pamphlet to the representatives of each family, which contained the contents of the relevant regulations. Zhao Jiaren, as an editor, did not rush to open it, but stared at others. In the first part of this booklet, there is a thing that Zhao Jiaren is very concerned about, and the purchase and sale of goods related to navigation must be deposited or borrowed from Zhao Jiaren's Renda Bank. Or rather, it's a franchise. There is nothing more profitable in this world than a monopoly monopoly.

The total trade volume of 150 ships this time, the tax collected by the city shipping department has been the same as in previous years. If navigation can be expanded next year, the benefits will be even higher. To control this part of the money is to control the trade going south.

Zhao Jiaren watched those people read the charter slowly, and he calmly waited for them to read it and express their opinions. These things still have to be talked about in the end, but there is no need to rush them.

However, some things are not suitable for long-term discussion, such as the branch in Haizhou, where the head of Zhao Jiaren's trade point hurriedly wrote the latest information. In the past, he only had to pass to the south, but now he has to send a copy to Jeju Island, which is not too far away. Liu Meng, the owner of Jeju Island, soon received information that Li Pu, the governor of Shandong, finally took advantage of the war between the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan and Ali Buge for the Mongol Khan, and officially launched an army.

This was a major event that changed the situation at this time, Li Pu returned the Lianshui Army to the Great Song Dynasty in order not to fall into a two-front battle, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Prime Minister Jia Yidao sent Xia Gui to lead the Northern Expedition.

Liu Meng had an impression of Xia Gui, the general's subordinates who captured the Mongol soldiers beheaded by Zhao Jiaren. And Lee Pu is the one who provides a large number of cattle to Jeju Island. Seeing that the calves could be slaughtered after 18 months, Liu Meng was quite regretful for a while. After the war, Li Pu probably wasn't in the mood to sell calves anymore.

In any case, Liu Meng ordered the mobilization of Jeju Island. War is no joke. Even if you don't fight out, you have to guard against it.
