Big weekend in October, Ryukyu, Yahai City.

As the old Zhu family in Xuzhou began to impose a sea ban, one bad news after another was constantly sent to Liu Cheng.

In just half a month, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other coastal states and counties have all been banned from the sea, and all the assets under Liu Cheng's command in these five states have been frozen.

This is a huge trouble for Liu Cheng.

is not only the issue of assets in the five states, but more importantly, the five states clearly released at this time without Liu Cheng's play.

Almost all the forces issued a similar maritime ban at the same time, strictly restricting the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty from going to sea, and at the same time strictly restricting trade with maritime merchants.

What they are playing with this hand is to ban Liu Cheng, the overlord of the sea.

This made many pirates and merchants in the four seas quite frightened, after all, the major forces came out with this hand, which was equivalent to cutting off their livelihoods.

So in the past half a month, the East China Sea has been a little better, but the remaining three seas will inevitably have some turmoil.

"Is it finally getting started?"

As the lord of the four seas, when Liu Cheng knew about this situation, his attitude was unexpectedly calm, and even had a sense of early enlightenment.

In fact, for this kind of situation, Liu Cheng has indeed been aware of it for a long time.

This kind of consciousness came when Wang Fugui was taken down.

Liu Cheng knew very well what those martial soul forces were, and at the same time, he knew better what kind of attitude these martial soul forces had towards the sea.

Although there are many historical reasons for this, it is a considerable fact that none of those martial spirit forces have any open attitude towards seafaring merchants.

And more importantly, there are many forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed, and in this environment, under the premise that the two sides have not reached a strategic consensus, it is normal for this situation to occur.

So Liu Cheng already knew, or could be said to be waiting for this kind of thing to happen, almost after unifying the four seas.

And now this kind of thing has really happened, and all major forces are carrying out sea bans.

At this time, Liu Cheng had two choices, either take this opportunity to implement the sea closure policy himself.

Since you don't play with me, then I won't take you to wave, everyone will play their own games.

This is a good note, anyway, the sea is rich in products, and Liu Cheng is already vigorously developing agriculture, even if he does not rely on the materials of the Great Zhou, he will not starve to death.

Moreover, with the current situation of the Great Zhou, the princes are divided, and many materials such as grain, metals and other items are controlled items, and it is difficult for Liu Cheng to obtain them from the Great Zhou now.

Coupled with the powder keg situation that may break out at any time, it is not a bad idea for Liu Cheng to play his own.

As long as he can control sea power and work intelligence, Liu Chengcheng can watch the drama overseas alone.

Sit and watch the ups and downs of the Great Zhou, and wait until they are almost finished fighting, Liu Cheng's own side is almost developed, and it is not too late to kill the Great Zhou.

In addition to this one, Liu Cheng also has a choice, which is to strive for common development with the various forces of the Great Zhou.

And to do this, Liu Cheng also has two choices.

One is to show off his muscles, find a soft persimmon and press it on the ground to beat him down, beat him to convince him, force him to sign a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country, and knock on the door of trade with a strong attitude.

Another is to follow the policy of Huai Rou, find a force to understand its interests, move it to the situation, and reach strategic cooperation.

Although the way is different, it still means the same thing in the final analysis, that is, to play with Da Zhou.

Each of these two options, or two approaches, has its own advantages, but also has certain problems.

And no matter which one Liu Cheng chooses, it will have an impact on the current environmental development of his territory to a certain extent, so this time Liu Cheng did not decide by himself, but sent someone to invite Zheng Lin, Tie Lanying, and Jiang Yuan over, plus Li Dajiang, Yan Feng, Zeng Wenli and other henchmen under his command to discuss this issue together.

This is the first time that Liu Cheng has put such an issue affecting the development of the territory on the table to talk to them in such a democratic way, which is quite significant in significance.

However, it is one thing for Liu Cheng to put the problem out and talk to them, and it is another thing for them to dare to speak.

Needless to say, the first system headed by Li Dajiang is all they have, and they generally don't make any suggestions.

As far as Feng Zengwen's descendant is concerned, he knows Liu Cheng better.

They knew Liu Cheng's character very well, and they knew that Liu Cheng might already have the answer in his heart when he threw this question out, so they didn't say anything.

Liu Cheng's own direct henchmen didn't dare to say anything, where did Zheng Lin and Tie Lanying's puppet subordinates dare to say anything?

They are not stupid, how could they not know, in fact, Liu Cheng probably already has some ideas in his heart, and it may be a direction that they are not very comfortable with.

This time, Liu Cheng came to them to discuss whether the policy was false, and the real purpose was to test their attitude.

In this way, for them, this meeting is likely to be a Hongmen banquet, if they publish something indiscriminately, accidentally say something wrong, and the end is likely to be destroyed by Liu Cheng.

So these three, where they sat the whole time, put on an attitude of Lord Liu Cheng's wisdom and martial arts, what you say is what you say, and they will never express anything easily until they have to, which made the meeting cold for a while.

After being cold for a while, Liu Cheng knocked on the table: "That's it, since everyone can't make up their minds, let's do this for the time being, and send someone to talk to those forces." ”

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Zheng Lin and the others changed somewhat.

In fact, although these three people did not dare to say anything, they still had a tendency to deal with it this time.

Compared with Liu Chengfenghai's development, they hope to continue to trade.

After all, if Liu Cheng is really developed in the sea, they don't know what Liu Cheng can develop, but one thing they know very well is that their importance now will definitely slowly decline with time.

At this time, they can still control the trade of the three seas, and if they really seal the sea, they will have no rights.

Not only can they no longer make any more oil and water, but it is even very likely that even their current position will be slowly replaced by Liu Chengzhen's henchmen.

So when they heard that Liu Cheng was going to talk to Xuzhou, the three of them couldn't help but be happy in their hearts.

Liu Chengdu saw this change in their eyes......
