"This palace is the crown prince, you tell the truth, what is the matter with the little master of Peacock Island?" Zhu Qi had to put pressure on him in his own capacity.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood, we are all subordinates of the shopkeeper of Yuchuan, and we don't know about the little master of Peacock Island." But the people in the village insisted on answering this.

"What about your Yuchuan shopkeeper, where did she go?" Zhu Qi asked angrily.

"She's gone."

"What kind of swim at a young age, call the thousand fingers to the palace!" He commanded.

Since Xing Yao's "passing", Qianzhi has been going all out to manage the major businesses in the capital, and he is so busy that he rarely goes to the prince's mansion to give advice, but Zhu Qi summoned him to pass.

Zhu Qi always thought that Xing Yao was dead, and it took a long time to gradually adjust his state, this time he heard Xing Yao's news from the storyteller on the street, thinking of such a big thing, others know about it, but he is in the dark, and even a thousand fingers are hidden from him, how can he not be angry?

Qianzhi rushed to Yuchuan Villa, and Zhu Qi was looking at the large map on the wall in the study.

"Recently, there have been a lot of Japanese activities along the coast of Shandong and the Liaodong Peninsula, have you heard of it?" Zhu Qi asked.

"I heard about it, but some people reacted that seven out of ten of these Japanese robbers are from our Ming Dynasty." Thousand fingers replied.

Zhu Qi looked at Thousand Fingers in surprise: "Then why do you still call them widows?" ”

"One is that there are Japanese ronins in those pirates after all, and secondly, those Ming Dynasty people are pirates for fear that their families will be implicated, so they all dress up as Japanese, and the third is that the rewards for officers and soldiers catching Japanese pirates are much greater than the rewards for catching Ming Dynasty pirates, and I wish that the pirates in my hands were all Japanese pirates." Thousand fingers explained.

He received recent news from Xingyao to confirm that most of the widows she surrounded and suppressed were pretended to be from the Ming Dynasty.

And the recitals that Zhu Qi received were all official from the imperial court, and the officials below were so happy and whitewashed the recitals, and the truth was covered up in this way.

"Obviously Chinese, why do you want to pretend to be a widow?" He asked Chiji, puzzled.

"The imperial court forbids the sea, and the profits of smuggling and robbery are a thousand times, so it is worth their risk."

Zhu Qi pondered, the policy of forbidding the sea, was set by the ancestors of the founding of the country, and later the former prince came to Shandong to fight against the Japanese and learned a lot of real people's feelings, thinking that the root of the Japanese Kou is the forbidden sea, "the city is generally Kou turned into business, and the city ban is turned into Kou", so he proposed to the emperor to open the sea market.

However, he committed suicide because he was falsely accused of treason, and this proposal was not successful.

After Ming Xiaozong came to power, he continued the policy of his ancestors and continued to implement the sea ban.

Nowadays, the business between the Ming Dynasty and overseas is only the tributary trade operated by the government, for example, several boatloads of tribute are sent by the Japanese slave countries every year.

"The Japanese slave country is extremely short of products, many commodities must rely on the Ming Dynasty, the price of Ming Dynasty commodities entering the territory of the Japanese slave country, the price is hundreds of times higher than that in the Ming Dynasty, such a high profit, so that some merchants and Japanese slave country ronin do not hesitate to take risks to rob or smuggle.

The Japanese slave kingdom did not understand the language and terrain of the Ming Dynasty, and if they did not collude with the pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, they could not continue to rob at all. It was with the participation of the natives of the Ming Dynasty that the Japanese became more and more rampant. Thousand fingers explained the reason why the Ming Dynasty people were involved.

"Hongu also thinks that the sea market should be opened." Zhu Qi has always supported the views of the former crown prince. In the past, there were external and internal troubles, and it was too late to think about this matter, but now it is time to adjust this kind of policy.

"Since the Japanese are rampant again, before we catch the source, we can lock the sea ban policy even more, so that they can jump over the wall in a hurry, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will emerge." Qianzhi suggested, "The villain got the news that the source of this is actually in the capital. It's still uncertain, and I'm asking Tianyin Pavilion to take a closer look. ”
