Poor Wu Qimai was quickly dressed up, and appeared with Wang Yue in his court clothes in the crowd of people who were seeing off the expeditionary force at the docks.

And then......

"The king always acts ......"

Liu Ziyu looked at the dancing Dajin Emperor and paused.

"So unexpected!"

Then he laughed.

It's not just him, everyone around him is smiling brightly.

In fact, Wu Qimai's family has long been an important part of the entertainment life of the people of Fuzhou, and there are even more men who have slept with the golden queen and concubines, and it is said that there are also those who stay in the Duke's mansion, but Dude Gong himself is not recognized by few people because of the restrictions, that is, he is familiar with his wife, and it is undoubtedly very joyful for him to appear in front of people in this way.

Especially those who are familiar with the ladies.

At this time, these shameless people gathered there, instructing the ladies, and the ladies, and the ladies, scolded the Duke of Dude for making him dance more cheerfully.

The latter is also noticeably cheerful.

After all, he has been sitting in a well and watching the sky for more than a year.

At this moment, he suddenly ran outside, there were so many people around, and there were warships, those drums and firecrackers were ringing around, and he had already jumped as if he was back in front of the bonfire after the hunting,

"What's the matter, now Ling Zun doesn't scold Wang?"

Wang Yue said.

"Well, my father really didn't understand the deep meaning of what the king did back then, but now he gradually understands that what the king did is an ancient law, it is a retro of the king's government, and the restoration of the Sui and Tang Juntian system is not nonsense."

Liu Ziyu hurriedly said.

Wang Zheng's retro is a basket, and anything can be loaded into it.

Besides, what else can you do if you don't coax yourself? Anyway, the land has been divided by him, can we say that we can't beat you of course can only accept it, and your system does not seem to be bad, at least for the gentry in Fujian, who have little land, Wang Yue's opening up in industry and commerce makes them seem to feel the sweetness of freedom in the air.

It's true.

Not to mention anything else, the opening of the tea trade alone made these gentry cheer.

Although the tax on the tea trade is not low, especially the export tax on tea, it is still very profitable for these gentry, because in the past, it was tea, similar to the salt industry system in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, that is, merchants sent money and grain to the border towns to obtain tea, and then used the tea to buy from the gardeners, and then sold it to the designated areas of the noodles. This was done by Cai Jing, and from Cai Jing being scolded as a traitor through the ages, we can know how much the gentry hated this system, but Wang Yue canceled the tea introduction system and turned it into a free trade.

It is just a matter of paying taxes at the place of origin according to the weight.

The tea farmers in the Wuyi Mountain Tea District are also in the militia system, and the households that make tea are also in the local militia system, and whoever asks them to buy them will pay taxes at Zhuangtou.

In addition, there is no restriction on the sales area, and you can sell wherever you like.

However, the transaction tax on trade in various places is a different matter, and in fact, the transaction tax in various commercial cities is already the backbone of the finances.

The consequence of this is that there will definitely be less food on the losing side.

But now there is no need to lose the border, and the Great Song Dynasty has no side to lose, the northwest is a warlord system, and they solve their own food and salary, the Hebei front line does not exist, and there is no need to defend in the north, is it possible to defend the Liao State with a population of 300,000?

Emperor Da Liao is still in Yanshan!

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and has become the first power outside the country.

That defense of the Ming?

What do you want? What is your purpose?

As for the Jin State, it was the Ming and the Liao, it was mainly the Ming Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not need to provide military supplies for the Ming Dynasty.

So the gentry are not happy?

Not to mention that now they are encouraged to go out to open up, and they also send troops to open the sea for them, this powerful fleet in front of them is on an expedition to the South Seas, who will go out to enjoy the fruits of victory after victory? Could it be the peasants who have divided the land? Isn't it the gentry of Fuzhou and Quanzhou who engage in overseas trade? The fleet went to fight violently to deter the countries of the South Seas, and the first thing they thought of when they saw the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty was the strong ships and cannons behind.

Which gentry doesn't know how to take by force?

In the past, they didn't dare in foreign countries, after all, they were in other people's territory, but when the Great Song Dynasty warships could use cannons to destroy them at any time, they were still honest, and they inevitably looked too highly at their discipline.

They all understand.

"I said a long time ago, I'm actually doing it for your own good, and one day you'll understand."

Wang Yue said earnestly.

Liu Ziyu and the others hurriedly nodded to indicate that they had begun to understand.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, the important thing is that they have begun to learn to expand, with the help of the liberal capitalist platform of the Fuzhou Commune, Liu Ziyu and a group of gentry have landed on the island of Taiwan, or at this time called Liuqiu, as for the Ryukyus in the north......

It is also called Liuqiu.

At this time, the Ryukyu Islands and the island of Taiwan were not separated.

It wasn't really called separately until the Ming Dynasty, as for Liu Ziyu and others who landed in Tainan, their main purpose was to plant sugarcane, because under Wang Yue's militia system, there were many restrictions on planting sugarcane, after all, this thing affected grain production. But the area around Tainan is simply a paradise for growing sugarcane, setting up a stockade in Tainan, using mercenaries to catch local people as slaves, and then planting sugarcane to make sugar and sell it back to the mainland.

And not even just them.

Some of the Zhejiang gentry have also formed the same pioneering group.

It's just that their landing point is Taipei, and the purpose is the same, all because of Wang Yue's sugarcane planting restrictions, which led to the rise in sugar prices, and driven by huge profits, these gentry, who were forbidden to exploit the land, had to find new sources of wealth. In this way, the island of Taiwan, which they originally regarded as a barbarian land and had no value at all, suddenly became infinitely valuable, after all, it was a large plain with abundant water, and there were nearby natives who could be captured as laborers.

They were not afraid of the resistance of the natives.

The latter even had very few iron tools, and the main weapon was the javelin, but because the iron on the javelin was so valuable, it was also tied to the body with a rope to prevent it from being thrown out and not being able to find it.

It is said that once a mercenary of the pioneer group is killed, all the natives ignore the attacks of other mercenaries, and go crazy to pick up the armor on the dead body, even if they are about to be hacked to death, they will not give up. According to Liu Ziyu's situation, this year they will be able to open up more than 10,000 acres of land in Tainan, and then plant sugarcane and rice, and there are herds of sika deer.

They are doing their best to recruit poor people from all over the country who want to make a fortune to join the pioneer group.

"If you need anything, just ask, I fully support your outward development."

Wang Yue said.

"King, at present, there is not enough manpower, after all, there are fewer and fewer people who can't eat after the land is divided, although the local people can be used to open up the wasteland, but the local people are wild and untamable, and after all, we still have to have our people to suppress it."

Liu Ziyu said.

"It's really not easy to do."

Wang Yue nodded.

This is inevitable, and the Europeans who ran out at first were all poor ghosts and heretics who could not get along in the Old World.

"Actually, it's not impossible, it just depends on how you operate, for example, how much is the dowry for marrying a daughter-in-law in Fuzhou?"

He said.

"Dowry? The folk is dozens of times, but the dowry is much more than the dowry! ”

Liu Ziyu said.

"What?"

Wang Yue was stunned.

"The local people's feelings, in fact, are like this in most places in our Great Song Dynasty, especially in the family of the gentry, the dowry is not much higher than the dowry, which will make people laugh, so that they compare with each other, tens of thousands of dowries abound, and even because the dowry is not complete, many women to be married have been delayed for a long time, and there is a saying that the family is broken and marrying a daughter. When Sun Xin was the governor of the state, he even forcibly stipulated that the dowry should not exceed 100 yuan, but after he left, it was back to the same as before, after our Song Dynasty women married in the past, the dowry can only be used by themselves, and the husband's family has no right to ask, and the dowry can be taken away if he remarries, and giving more dowry is also to prevent being bullied. ”

Liu Ziyu said.

"This is your own fault, what motivation do you have to make those young people like this? Marrying a daughter-in-law receives more than you pay, but the woman needs to worry about it, so those who have not yet married a daughter-in-law, is there any need to go out and make money desperately to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Wang Yue said like a little devil.

Liu Ziyu took a deep breath......

"It's our mistake, indeed, it's not right, I'm not as far away as the king after all, the king is really a slap in the face!"

He said with emotion.

Then he turned to look at an old man beside him.

"In-laws, the little girl's dowry is too low, at least 10,000 yuan, the little girl has been raised for so many years, and now she is sent to your mansion, she has become a member of your Li family, your Li family only pays a thousand dowry, but our Liu family has to pay 10,000 dowry, which our Liu family sends people and money, it's too much of a loss."

He said.

"Indeed, then I'll go back and prepare."

The latter said with a smile.

"Is there a newspaper in Fuzhou?"

Wang Yue said.

"Yes!"

Liu Ziyu and his in-laws said in unison.

"The Liu family in Jianzhou and the Li family in Fuzhou are both local noble families, and of course the marriage between the two families will be in the newspaper."

Wang Yue said.

Liu Ziyu and the others nodded with a smile.

"Actually, it's not just that, you have to understand that when there was no food and clothing before, it was true that people wanted to have enough food, but if they were already able to eat enough, then they had to have other pursuits, women had to dress well, they had to wear gold and silver jewelry, men had to marry a beautiful wife, and they had to build a good house. If you can guide them and let the people pursue more things, then they will naturally want to go out and make money.

And how to guide them, it's not up to you local celebrities to have the final say?

What you like, the people will naturally follow. ”

Wang Yue then said.

Then a bunch of new village sages or new capitalists laughed.

In this way, the expeditionary fleet set sail to the mad dance of the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, and began their 10,000-mile journey to defeat the Zhuyuan Kingdom......

Of course, that's a disguise.

Wang Yue is not stupid, such a lone expedition to a large country thousands of miles away, it is tantamount to suicide, and the country has not offended the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, they have heard the news and sent envoys to plead. They had frequent trade contacts with the Great Song Dynasty, and almost every year during the trade season, there would be merchant ships to Guangzhou, and the Chola was the main maritime merchant in South Asia at this time.

But there is really no grievance with the Great Song Dynasty, they only have a grudge with the Three Buddhas, but the root of this enmity is actually to compete for the dominance of trade with the Great Song Dynasty.

Sriwijaya controls the Strait of Malacca, Chola controls the transit point in the Indian Ocean, and Cholajaya kills Sriwijaya on behalf of the trade west of the Strait of Malacca, but their attack on Sriwijaya failed that year, so at present, the sea is still a side of hatred.

But for Wang Yue, they all have to get out of the way.

Therefore, the real goal of the expeditionary fleet is actually to suppress the South China Sea and seize colonies.

Dragon's Tooth Gate.

Wang Yue's purpose was just to grab the Dragon Tooth Gate.

The fleet drove over.

Then forced the Three Buddhas to lease the Dragon Tooth Gate, and build a fortress in the Dragon Tooth Gate, if the Three Buddhas did not agree, then as a subject country actually dared to disagree with the requirements of the suzerain, the Great Song Dynasty would not rule out mobilizing the surrounding subject countries to beat them together. Sriwijaya is the richest in the South Seas, if you pull Siam, Champa these small messy countries, with the fleet as the core, they are cannon fodder, together to fight Srivijaya, and then everyone is happy to grab a wave, then Siam, who has been coveting them, will be the first to join.

In short, control the Dragon's Tooth Gate first.

Then continue to increase troops in the South Seas, and move forward to build another fortress in Aceh.

At the same time, get another fortress in Champ.

The Cham people disagreed, so they pulled the king of Annam together to beat them, and the king of Annam would be as happy as pie in the sky, and their main enemy was originally the city.

In short, it is necessary to build a series of fortresses from Annam to Champa to Pattani, Longyamen, and Aceh, and then talk about the conquest of the Indian Ocean, this process takes about five years, and during this period it is to build momentum, and at the same time to carry out diplomatic bargaining, in these years, it will take a year or two for the envoys to go back and forth, and five years will pass after three or two rounds.

"This Great Song Dynasty, the world is finally peaceful."

Wang Yue looked at the fleets in the distance and sighed.

Indeed, the Great Song Dynasty finally had peace in the world, after all, the matter of opening up the territory and expanding the territory had basically been handed over to the subject country......

This fleet too.

This is not the Great Song Dynasty Naval Army, the official name of this fleet is the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Kingdom Navy, but as the army of the Great Song Dynasty, it was dispatched by the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses to go to the South Seas on behalf of the Great Song Emperor. As a vassal army, the Ming Navy is obliged to serve the Great Song Emperor, but in fact, it is mainly because the core of this fleet is the Fang Qi Buddha Gang, and they are not willing to be the Song army.

They are willing to be the Ming army.

After all, they all believe in Mingjiao, so the identity of Mingjun is more in line with their aesthetics.

In this way, the Ming Navy made an expedition to the South Seas for the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Han army opened up the Western Regions for the Song Emperor.

The Great Xi army assisted the Great Liao for the Great Song Emperor to clear the Mengwu together.

These messy little things will be handed over to the younger brother in the future.

As for the Great Song army......

Isn't it good to be a beautiful man quietly?
