"Before I say that, I would like to summarize the dilemma that the Maritime Administration is facing now, which will help you understand the method I am talking about more quickly."

If other young people in their early 20s said this to Song Yingxing, Song Yingxing would have left angrily, and naturally countless people came up to teach him a lesson for the young man who didn't know the height of the sky, such as the white shopkeeper outside the door and Zhang Jun behind him.

But when Liu Yifeng said this, Song Yingxing not only did not get angry, but had a trace of expectation that he couldn't say.

After getting Song Yingxing's promise, Liu Yifeng took a deep breath, knowing that whether his gang could pass the biggest difficulty this time may depend on this battle.

"The Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau should not have the ability to restrain the many trading houses and explorers in Jinshan City from panning for gold, even if you count the southern army and navy in Jinshan City, I don't think they are capable."

Good guy, as soon as you open your mouth, you will first lift the fig leaf of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau.

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Yingxing's mouth, Liu Yifeng is not a brave and unscrupulous person, he dares to lift the fig leaf of the Maritime Safety Bureau in front of himself, the manager of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, there must be a way to make this fig leaf unnecessary to exist.

After solving the problem, do you still need to cover up the shame?

"But the Maritime Administration can control the shipping lanes, so that they can fundamentally cut off the possibility of them transporting the gold back."

After speaking, Liu Yifeng glanced at Song Yingxing and knew that he was still waiting for him to continue, so he no longer hesitated and said: "However, it can be seen from the fact that Lord Song and the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau are still struggling with their brains, what you are worried about is that there will be greater risks in the future." ”

Song Yingxing began to doubt Liu Yifeng's age, his ability, his vision, really didn't look like a person with a weak crown. Yang Changbai and Sun Xin, who are also about 20 years old, are still from a big family, so the two of them don't see this risk at all.

"What risk?"

"There is another risk of Zhang bandits."

Song Yingxing smiled, he suddenly had the idea of leaving Liu Yifeng in the Maritime Safety Bureau to do things.

"I don't know about the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, but before Zhang Bandit in Dongshan Prefecture, the Maritime Safety Bureau must not care much about the emotions of the people."

Song Yingxing nodded, this is the practice of officialdom, and those traditional bureaucrats in the local court don't care even more. However, there are gentry clans in the local area, armed forces and public opinion orthodoxy to help the court stabilize people's hearts.

But what about Dongshan State? Only the armed forces.

In the past, public opinion orthodoxy was also possessed, but now half of it has been lost, and the scourge is that Zhang Xianzhong.

The changes in the ideological trend brought by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the Chinese people are difficult for ethnic groups outside the Chinese cultural circle to understand. The prince and general Xiangning have a kind of these 8 words, how many dynasties have been buried, how many ambitious people have been cultivated, and how many innocent people have been sacrificed. Of course, a new dynasty of reform was also established, bringing the Central Plains back to the light of day.

In short, I usually don't feel the influence of Chen Sheng's sentence "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" on the Chinese people, but when it comes to extremes, there will always be so many affected people who pull up the banner of resistance.

"Before Zhang Bandit, the people of Dongshan Prefecture may not have thought about making trouble, but after Zhang Bandit, when the Maritime Safety Bureau began to care about the people's emotions, no one dared to guarantee that there would be another Zhang Xianzhong. And there is a Zhang Xianzhong, I think the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau will definitely be affected in the imperial court. ”

Song Yingxing picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea to cover up his pouting.

Not only was it affected, but Xu Guangqi's reply letter just received said that the cabinet was crazy about using this matter to attack the Maritime Safety Bureau some time ago. However, because Zhang Xianzhong appeared when Hao Ping was taken away, Song Yingxing had not yet taken office, and Zhang Bandit had been suppressed, Xu Guangqi took the matter on his own and pleaded guilty directly in front of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli punished him with a fine of one year.

Not to mention that the high-ranking officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau all have their own industries in the Annam Prefecture or Dongshan Prefecture to a greater or lesser extent, and they do not rely on that money at all, even the traditional bureaucrats of the imperial court do not rely on the money.

In other words, this daily battle in the cabinet ended with Xu Guangqi directly pleading guilty, and Emperor Wanli ended up pulling the strings.

But what if there is another Wang bandit in Dongshan Prefecture, Li Bandit or Chen Bandit?

Then this time Xu Guangqi will definitely not be able to bear it, so he can only resist with Song Yingxing. And even if the bandits are suppressed in time, it is estimated that the best result is to completely lose his career and go back to his hometown to write "Heavenly Creation" with peace of mind. This is still the personal training between himself and Emperor Wanli, which is not bad, and Emperor Wanli attaches great importance to his book as a premise.

"People die for money, birds die for food, as long as the gold panning method leaks out, the entire water system in the east of Jinshan City is estimated to be full of gold diggers. Once this amount comes up, it is natural that someone will find gold. Among these people who have found gold, there must be those who are unwilling to hand over the gold in exchange for the policy benefits of the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, and they want to bring the gold back to their homeland and become local tyrants. ”

"But don't say that the way to return to Daming is inseparable from the Maritime Safety Bureau, and even returning to Shancheng is inseparable from the Maritime Safety Bureau. Once the Maritime Safety Bureau begins to set up cards to collect gold, there will definitely be bold and ambitious people who will take risks. There are explorers and firms in the middle, one has strength and the other has resources, if the two are combined and another Zhang bandit is produced, the scale may not be comparable to Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Song Yingxing put down the teacup and sighed.

Half of this tone is to sigh for the future risks that Liu Yifeng is completely talking about, and the other half is for his three disciples.

It was also a young man, and his three disciples behaved very badly at that meeting. Yang Changbai and Sun Xin could only barely keep up with the thinking speed of the officials of the Shanghai Affairs Bureau, while Wu Sangui was completely behind. Wu Sangui is still young, Yang Changbai and Sun Xin and Liu Yifeng are the same age.

"So, what did you say you could do to help the Maritime Bureau avoid this risk and pan for gold with peace of mind?"

"Lord Song, before I do that, I want to ask a few questions."

"You ask."

Song Yingxing showed the greatest patience, as far as Liu Yifeng could see that the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau was really embarrassed now, and he could clearly explain it in a few words, it was already worth his patience with Liu Yifeng.

"What is the trade of the Annam Protectorate?"

Song Yingxing didn't expect Liu Yifeng to ask this question at all: "It depends on who does it, both internal and external." ”

"Internally, externally?"

"Internally, it's very simple, normal trade, but there are also bartering situations."

"Externally, it is more complicated, most of the Dutch and Persians are more cooperative, and they will first find the Protectorate of Annam to exchange my Ming coins for normal trade. However, there are also times when they trade with the gold and silver coins of their country, and the transaction amount is not large, and the trading houses estimate the value themselves, and if the transaction amount is large, they often go to the Annam Prefecture together to make an estimate. ”

"The Franji people are more troublesome, they think that whether it is to exchange with us or use their own country's gold and silver coins, they will suffer losses, so they basically barter."

"The Tianzhu people are the most troublesome, they will exchange some coins, but they will mix in their domestic bad currency to trade, you have to be careful, so many of the trading houses in Annan are unwilling to trade with the Tianzhu people, and they are used to bartering with them if they have to trade."

"In other words, the currency of Annan's trade is dominated by Daming coins, but in general there is still no unity?"

Song Yingxing didn't understand how the question asked by Liu Yifeng helped the current situation in Dongshan Prefecture, so he didn't answer, but said after being silent for a while: "So, what is your method?" ”

Liu Yifeng was also silent for a while, and then asked as if he had made some decision: "Lord Song, if Dongshan Prefecture issues a currency that can only be used in Dongshan Prefecture, but the right to issue coins and seigniorage tax belong to the local imperial court, do you think the imperial court will agree?" ”

Song Yingxing was startled, and the whole person stood up directly from the Taishi chair, and drank angrily: "Liu Yifeng, are you trying to rebel!" ”
