Zeng Suian pondered for a moment, quietly looked at Shen Ao's face, and then said, "There are two offices." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shen Ao wanted to laugh in his heart, he even had a headache thinking about one, he actually had two. Then he smiled and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Zeng Suian said lightly: "First, it is strictly ordered that all countries are completely isolated from trade with the Great Cannibals, and no ships of the Great Cannibals are allowed to unload goods near the governors of various countries. ”

Shen Ao thought to himself, in the past, the British also used this trick against the countrymen, Zeng Sui'an has been the governor for several years, and he is indeed much more motivated.

Zeng Suian continued: "Second, the Tianzhu Kingdom has a large population, and it would be great if a governor's district could be set up there. A detachment of my Great Song Dynasty's Nanyang naval division once arrived there, and the land was vast, rich, and fertile, and its population was only as good as the whole of Nanyang. But ......"

Zeng Sui set up for a moment before continuing: "But although there are many small countries there, and the princes are divided into one side, the combat power should not be underestimated, and there are even big cannibals watching from the sidelines, and our Great Song Dynasty wants to make them succumb, and the first thing to do is to drive the big cannibals out of Nanyang." ”

Zeng Sui'an's words may have immature places, but Shen Ao was already impressed by him at this time, and couldn't help but say: "What you said is right, one of these two things must be implemented without delay, and the other can be slowly planned." For example, the trade between the countries of Nanyang and the Great Cannibal can be done with a single edict, and as for the Tianzhu Kingdom, you can send some people to understand them first, and then make calculations. ”

Zeng Sui bowed his head and said, "This is just some of my superficial opinions, Your Highness just listens to it." ”

Shen Ao shook his hand solemnly and said, "What you said is not wrong at all, there is no need to be modest." ”

Zeng Suian pondered for a moment and said: "The Nanyang Naval Division now has 100,000 boat divisions, and there are more than 1,500 ships of various kinds. ”

Shen Ao certainly understood what Zeng Sui'an meant, but there were some things that could not be said, and the current predicament could only be solved by a water master, but doing so was really contrary to the external strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, he smiled and said, "Let's make plans again." ”

After that, he went back to the back house to sleep, Zhao Zixuan couldn't sleep, and was still waiting for him to come back, and asked him, "Why did you come back so late?" My feet were cold when I waited. ”

Shen Ao saw her curled up in the thin quilt, and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with cold feet?" ”

Zhao Zixin poked half of his head out of the quilt and said confidently: "Isn't there a saying that is good?" Before the heart is cold, the feet are cold, and when the feet are cold, the heart will be cold. ”

Shen Ao changed his coat, shrunk into the quilt and smiled evilly: "Then I'll warm your heart, where is your heart?" ”

Didn't stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a few more days, Shen Ao continued to set off, two Oriental naval ships only escorted Shen Ao's fortune boat, all the way down the southeast coast, this way fluctuated, fortunately, the sea was calm, Shen Ao was used to it, and slowly adapted, Zhao Zixuan couldn't bear it, so he rested in the cabin all day.

Every time the ship arrives at a port along the coast, it will rest for a day, so it is not very fast, but when the port stops, there will always be a copy of Shen Ao's warrant passed out, and the clipper ship will pass it directly to the purpose of Quanzhou.

These messages were transmitted to the Quanzhou Haizheng Yamen like snowflakes. Wu Wencai, the Minister of the Maritime Administration, has not slept well for several days and nights, on one side is the Universal Exhibition, the Universal Exhibition has now been approved by the Royal Authority, and the imperial court has regarded it as a top priority, not to mention that so many vassal kings have come? Naturally, it is not easy to hold this grand event, let the merchants sell their goods, and make the people feel at home.

Fortunately, a lot of land has been reserved in Quanzhou New Town, the building of this exhibition is in the new city, this is a huge building covering an area of hundreds of acres, with the atmosphere of the north, the whole building is a circle, walk in from the outside, there are many circles inside, like a labyrinth, on both sides are rows of corridors and shop fronts, it takes at least half an hour to walk in and walk around, the ground is paved with a new mud road, even the steps are smoothed with mud, it is also divided into three floors, more than 3,000 shops.

Just such an exhibition of the building, it cost 600,000 yuan, plus a variety of decoration, as well as the building outside the exhibition, add up to at least one million guan, a million guan said not much, said less is also a lot, according to the meaning of the king of Pingxi, after the end of the exhibition, and then the shop here will be rented and sold to the merchants of Quanzhou, the recovery of the capital is definitely enough, if the operation is good, said that the ban here will become the richest commercial area in Quanzhou in the future, every inch of land is gold.

Wu Wencai has to worry about not only this, but also when the number of customers increases, the carriage and horses are definitely not enough, although there have been a lot of car rental shops in Quanzhou, are not very spacious carriages, after the rise of the mud road, the traffic is much more convenient, the loss of the carriage is small, and the speed is also fast, so there are also some people who can not afford to raise cars and horses, and refuse to go out by legs and feet, four or five dollars, recruit a carriage can directly send themselves to their destination, why not? However, this kind of car dealership is also in short supply now, and the result is that there are few horses in Quanzhou, so it has also become a headache for Wu Wencai.

In addition to this, on the other hand, Wu Wencai did not dare to slack off on the warrants from King Pingxi, most of these warrants were a few words, but the content in them was worth scrutinizing, as if there was a warrant, which almost made Wu Wencai so shocked that he did not stand firm. The content of this warrant is very simple, it only reads: Expelling the Great Food Merchant, but all the goods of the Great Cannibal are not allowed to enter Quanzhou and the governors of the vassal states and stop at them, and the violators shall be quickly detained and detained without delay.

The shock on Wu Wencai's face can be imagined, this big cannibal in Quanzhou is not one or two, but tens of thousands, so many people, you can't say that you can drive away, besides, the goods of the big cannibal stop at various ports, that is also to pay taxes to the governor's jurisdiction, at this time suddenly turned his face and did not recognize people, is it too rude?

In fact, Wu Wencai also knows in his heart that the big cannibal is now a toddler in Handan, and he competes with the Great Song Dynasty in Nanyang, but in the end, he is a scholar, and he actually doesn't agree with using tough means to kick people out. If you don't agree, you don't agree, but since King Pingxi has spoken, he naturally has his intentions, and the current problem is how to solve it.

If you really want to get rid of so many people, it will not be possible, Wu Wencai hesitated again and again, so he sent a note to the Yamen of the Nanyang Naval Division, and asked the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division to come and discuss.

The sailor yamen received a note, and immediately came, Yang Guo came on horseback, and his face was also tired, although the sailor yamen was not as heavy as the sea administration yamen, but it was not easy, the fleets had to rotate to go to sea, and there were daily urging exercises, especially at this time, the safety of the envoys of the vassals was the top priority, and the ships of the navy were almost pouring out of the nest, patrolling in various sea areas, so as not to cause accidents.

Although Yang Guo and Wu Wencai are Shen Ao's Yiwen and Wuwu left in Quanzhou, they usually don't communicate much, and occasionally have some official business, and they are just explained in the next article. Today, Wu Wencai suddenly came to invite someone, and at this juncture, he knew that there was something important to discuss, although Yang Guo must not be lazy, he came immediately.

Yang Guo was wearing a shirt lacking a crotch shirt, saw Wu Wencai, nodded at Wu Wencai's jaw, Wu Wencai immediately stood up, and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Yang Guo treats Wu Wencai, after all, he is still a little humble, although the two of them have equal official positions, and they are both Shen Ao's right-hand men, but when the words come out, the Great Song Dynasty values literature and light martial arts, this consciousness has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Yang Guo himself, he still feels that he is a head shorter than Wu Wencai.

Wu Wencai didn't say hello, and directly took the warrant sent by Shen Ao and handed it to Yang Guo, saying, "Command Yang and take a look first." ”

Yang Guo only glanced at the line, then looked up, Wu Wencai looked at him hopefully, and said, "What is Commander Yang's intentions?" ”

Yang Guo was silent for a moment, a pair of eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Highness wants us to expel the big cannibal, then expel the big cannibal, what is the Lord asking for?" ”

Wu Wencai had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head, and said, "The old man is asking how to expel the big cannibals. He was afraid that Yang Guo would not understand, and continued: "You see, there are tens of thousands of big cannibals in Quanzhou alone, so many people, where is it so easy to expel them? ”

Yang Guo said solemnly: "This is also true, what does Lord Wu think?" ”

Wu Wencai wanted to laugh in his heart, he wanted to ask him what he meant just now, but now he actually went back to his body, he was not polite, he pondered for a moment, and said: "The top priority at the moment is to identify the big cannibals." ”

"Screening?"

Wu Wencai bowed his head and said: "Gather all the big cannibals in Quanzhou, tell them what His Highness means, they are willing to go, naturally let them go, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some people who are willing to go, so simply give them some household registration, let them be Song people from now on, in the end, there are many merchants who eat big food, and it is also good for Quanzhou to leave some." ”

Yang Guo said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that they will miss their homeland and communicate with the big food, and then they will be unable to prevent it." ”

Wu Wencai pondered for a while and said: "I'm not afraid of this, many big cannibals have a net worth in Quanzhou, and their wives and children are also here, and the big food is high and far away, how can they do anything that damages Quanzhou?" In fact, over the ages, there have been many great cannibals that have bred in Quanzhou, but you see, one of the descendants of these people claims to be a big cannibal? Which one doesn't call itself a Han Chinese? ”

Yang Guo suddenly got up: "Then let's do it according to Lord Wu's wishes, this matter will be presided over by Lord Lao Wu tomorrow, and the sailor will transfer a military horse to assist the lord." ”

Wu Wencai said: "That's fine, the old man has to inform Ma Yinglong, the prefect of Quanzhou, and ask him to help." ”

Yang Guo was a neat and neat person, and when he saw that the matter was discussed, he didn't say anything anymore, hugged his fists and said goodbye, and finally said: "Having said that, Lord Wu gave those big cannibals a chance, but if someone doesn't recognize me Quanzhou and refuses to leave, the sailor will inevitably get rid of it and kill people." ”

Wu Wencai was most afraid of hearing the word murder, and said with a wry smile: "After screening, everything will be taken by Yang Command." ”..
