"Over the years, the imperial court has slowly let go of the rules of the forbidden sea, have you thought about why not?" Su Xiaoke looked at Wang Man, and said quietly: "Let's not talk about how many interests are involved, just those fishermen, do you think the ban on the sea is fair to those fishermen?" ”

"I hadn't thought about this before, but after coming to Bluestone Town, I found a lot of problems." Wang Man sighed slightly, and said with some emotion: "Those fishermen live in a very difficult life, there is little land, not to mention, they themselves do not rely on the land to pay taxes, but after the ban on the sea, they can't go out to sea to fish, how can they make a living?" ”

Therefore, it is not for nothing that the fishermen in Qingshi Town used to be so poor.

Take Qingshi Town as an example, good land is in the hands of large households, and fishermen did not need to farm before, but later the imperial court began to ban the sea, and the life of fishermen gradually became more and more difficult, which naturally affected the payment of taxes.

In the previous dynasty, there was a fishermen's riot, which was nothing more than because the fishermen could not pay taxes, but the government refused to be listed, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and the officials would not be re-elected.

This situation lasted until the time of the founding of Gaozu.

After learning the lessons of the previous dynasty, Gaozu began to slowly let go of the sea ban, although it was not completely released, but in the final analysis, it was considered to leave a way for fishermen to live.

Over the years, some smart people have begun to do business in secret, and naturally they have made a lot of money.

In this way, it is natural that some people will be blushing.

But everyone knows that if you really want to embark on this road, if something happens one day, it will be a dead end.

As a result, some merchants began to pull the government into the water, and those officials collected the money, so they naturally turned a blind eye, and as for when the incident happened, it was also a matter for the people who followed.

Wang Man didn't know the problem, because Wang Xu also told her that Chaozhou was the only place that avoided this incident because of the existence of the Sea Gang.

In other words, wherever there is a sea by the sea, there is more or less such a problem.

However, now Su Xiaoke is planning to pull Chaozhou into the water.

"I'm selfish, although the Haibang will help me, but in the end it involves the interests of so many people, if something happens, I will definitely take care of the overall situation at that time." Su Xiaoke said lazily: "So I hope to still have my own fleet, if I can't do it in a year, it will be two years, and it will be no problem after all." ”

"But have you ever thought about it, this is really a matter of moving the whole body, you are robbing the business of the Sea Gang in Chaozhou, aren't you afraid that the Sea Gang will make trouble with you when the time comes?" Wang Man said with some worry: "We have a good relationship, but it will be too stiff when the time comes, but it will not be good." ”

"Man'er, this is just my plan." Su Xiaoke lowered his eyes, thought for a while and said, "After Wang Xianyi goes to Beijing this time, what do you think the Haigang will become?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted them to be right?" Wang Man was a little puzzled, he was still talking about the preparation of the fleet, how did it become a matter of the Sea Gang in a blink of an eye?

"The emperor may make the Haibang a Chaozhou sailor." Su Xiaoke said thoughtfully: "In other words, the private business of the Haigang in the future can no longer be done." ”

"So, you're going to start here?" Wang Man couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then shook his head and said: "I don't think so, if the emperor orders the sea gang to become a Chaozhou sailor, it means that the emperor plans to open the sea, but this matter is ...... Those people don't necessarily agree, do they? ”

"Some things are just the trend of the times." Su Xiaoke played with the tea cup in his hand, smiled slightly and said, "However, this is just my conjecture, let's see!" ”

……

Before dawn the next day, Wang Xianyi and He Lianchao had already left Qingshi Town.

When Guan Jin learned the news, the group had already left for several hours, and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.

But Guan Jin is an old fox in the end, he always felt that Wang Xianyi and He Lianchao's sudden departure had something to do with Su Xiaoke, so he pretended to leave Qingshi Town, and promised Su Zhun to go home to have a look, and then go to Chaozhou with him.

When Su Zhun arrived at the small courtyard, Su Xiaoke was discussing things with Shopkeeper Chen in the private seat of the inn, so he didn't run into it.

"Yueyue?" After Su Zhun entered the small courtyard, he learned that Su Yueyue was frightened and was resting in bed, but when he went to see Su Yueyue after saying a few words to his sister-in-law, he found that she was crying.

"Second brother?" Su Yueyue didn't expect someone to come, so she hurriedly wiped her tears behind his back, and then asked with a smile, "Second brother, why are you here?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Su Zhun is not such a foolish person, seeing that Su Yueyue is like this, where can he sit still, he frowned at the moment, and asked repeatedly: "Did someone bully you?" ”

"No, second brother." Su Yueyue shook her head, but when she saw Su Zhun frowning, she finally sighed and told him what happened before.

"So, you're sad because Xiaoke agreed that you wouldn't go to the capital?" Su Zhun looked at Su Yueyue and asked word by word, "Isn't this something you have already decided?" ”

"Second brother, I'm ......" Su Yueyue was a little stunned, because she didn't know how to say the feeling in her heart.

Yes, it was obvious that she first told Su Xiaoke that she was unwilling to go to the capital, but when she was sent back to the courtyard, Su Xiaoke was busy, so she specially asked Wang Man to tell her that she didn't have to worry about those things, because she could not go to the capital, and let her take good care of herself, and wait until the people in Qingshi Town who came to see the excitement left, and then return to Anheju.

People, probably like this, you made your own decision, and in your heart you actually expect the other party to persuade you more, so that you will tell yourself that the other party needs you, but you really can't do it.

But Su Yueyue never thought that Su Xiaoke would agree so readily.

In this way, she felt in her heart that from the beginning, she was a dispensable existence for Su Xiaoke?

"Yueyue, don't forget, when our family was still running for life, it was Xiaoke who pulled us." Su Zhun's expression was a little ugly, staring at Su Yueyue and said: "Xiaoke asked you to go to the capital before, and she was also thinking about you, but if something happened to you, she couldn't bear it, and you said in person that you didn't want to go, so she definitely won't force you." ”

"But why didn't she persuade me anymore?" Su Yueyue was a little annoyed, she actually didn't want to go to the capital, compared to Qingshi Town, there would only be more things to learn in that place in the capital, although as she thought, there were a lot of intrigues and tricks, but there were also many opportunities, she was just scared before, if Su Xiaoke comforted her for a while, she would definitely be able to accept it!

"Yueyue, Xiaoke, she is not from our family." Regarding Su Yueyue's current thoughts, Su Zhun only felt a headache, and couldn't help but close his eyes before saying, "She has no obligation to take care of our family forever, do you understand?" ”

"She said that as long as we have something, she will definitely not sit idly by." When Su Yueyue heard Su Zhun's words, she couldn't help but retort: "Second brother, I know you like Xiaoke, but she doesn't like you, and she doesn't seem to want to care about us anymore." ”

"Yueyue, when did you first start having such thoughts?" Su Zhun sat indifferently opposite Su Yueyue, as if looking at a stranger, and asked, "Didn't you just want to earn some money to support your family?" ”

"Second brother, I don't mean anything else." Sensing Su Zhun's disappointment in herself, Su Yueyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm just...... I just heard from people...... Xiaoke took a fancy to Huang Yun, so she didn't force me. ”

"People?" Su Zhun's eyes lit up, and he asked coldly, "Who did you listen to when you said this?" ”

"Yes...... I overheard. Su Yueyue lowered her head and sat her in the carriage back to the small courtyard, when she overheard Zou Le say, Su Xiaoke has taken a fancy to your cooking skills?

She knew who was sitting there, although their voices were lowered and they couldn't hear it clearly, but this sentence pierced Su Yueyue's heart like a thorn, not to mention, if it was in the past, Su Xiaoke knew that she was timid, and she would definitely accompany her today, but she hadn't shown up yet, didn't it annoy her?

"Yueyue, you must know that most of the troubles in this world are found by people themselves." Su Zhun got up and said lightly: "Brother Wei is going to Chaozhou soon, I think you can at least live a stable life if you stay in Qingshi Town, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law are here, so you can take care of them more, it's good, isn't it?" ”

"Second brother, I didn't think so before, I really want to go to the capital and be able to become a ......" Su Yueyue was eager to defend, she didn't want Su Zhun to think that she was an ungrateful person, so she grabbed Su Zhun's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Second brother, can you help me beg Xiaoke again?" ”

……

At this moment, Su Xiaoke didn't know about the dispute between Su Yueyue and Su Zhun, because she was fighting with Shopkeeper Chen.

"The fish is good, but it doesn't mean it will be successful." Shopkeeper Chen took a sip of tea, smiled slightly and asked, "I think it's better to talk to Miss Su about the long carp first." ”

"Long carp?" Su Xiaoke seemed to be a little surprised and asked, "Could it be that Shopkeeper Chen doesn't know yet?" I already asked the Haibang to send it to the capital early this morning, and it was also designated to be sent to the capital's Haishan Residence, isn't this something we discussed before? ”

"What?" When Chen Yunsheng heard this, he suddenly got up, and then looked at Su Xiaoke, who was smiling quite slyly, and couldn't help but ask helplessly: "Miss Su, are you deliberately cheating the old man?" ”

"I don't really understand what Shopkeeper Chen said, since this Haishan Residence is the Queen Mother's, where does it make a difference?" Su Xiaoke smiled slightly, and An Ranruo drank tea and asked, "Could it be that there is anything unspeakable here?" In this case, can I ask Shopkeeper Chen to solve my doubts? ”
