The port was crowded.

Not only the families who loaded the goods, but also many coastal people.

After all, going to sea to take charge of a ship requires a large number of boatmen.

Some of the inland families who have invested in the shares, although the family has a big business and a large number of families.

But most of them don't understand maritime affairs.

And if you go to sea with your cronies, it's easy to run out of people and money.

In case the boat capsizes once, and there are many casualties among relatives and family members, won't they fall directly into the middle of the road?

It is better to recruit some coastal people and take the ship to the sea.

First, they are more familiar with maritime affairs, and second, they are safer.

If there is something that can be seen, it can be recruited for a long time.

This kind of large-scale employment has undoubtedly led to the employment of the coastal people.

The benefits of going to sea are not just the profits of trade.

In an emerging industry, every link in it is a benefit.

"Your Majesty, if you let the people of the family hire shipwrights and build ships, will the tail be too big?"

Fu Xuance was a little worried.

Someone, with a ship, what if they see the huge profits on the sea and go directly to the sea to become a pirate?

Liu Ke just glanced in the direction of Gan Wenban.

"Hahaha!!

Gan Wenban burst out laughing.

What other pirate can rob more than the Great Han Sailor?

Not to mention that the brothers under him were pirates who had been transferred from the South China Sea.

Let's just say that those sailors trained by the emperor himself were also trained in the way of pirates.

The hook and lock are more pirates than pirates.

What pirate can be wilder than the Han sailor?

However, Liu Ke still took Fu Xuance's proposal to heart.

There are no rules.

If you want to put maritime trade on the right track and become a great cause for thousands of years, after the initial barbaric growth, it is necessary to formulate strict rules and regulations.

"It's a little chaotic and scattered, but it's understandable that the sea trade is just starting and I don't have much experience."

In the crowd at the port, an old man poked his head and took a few looks.

In fact, when Jia Wuji heard that the emperor planned to go to Luzon in person, he still didn't understand it.

I thought that the emperor didn't find out about his own proposal to cultivate and recuperate.

After calming down and thinking about it for a while.

Why is going to sea not considered cultivation and recuperation?

As long as others cultivate and recuperate, and then give me all the money and food, it is equivalent to my recuperation.

And this time I went to sea, I used a family.

There are some similarities with the previous transfer of Jiaozhou and raising grain with shares.

Even the sailors were hired by the Maison's merchant ships to serve as escorts.

The family bears all the expenses of money and food.

The emperor just rubbed a boat.

Except for the policy, the imperial court did not pay a penny.

Waiting for the profits of maritime trade to come out, taxes can also be collected.

"It's just that the old man is old, and he doesn't have a chance to go to the sea to take a look."

Jia Wuji was a little curious about sea trade.

But at this age, it is really inconvenient to go to sea.

The wind and waves are strong, and the danger factor is too high.

Moreover, after staying in the people for a while, his life is much more free and comfortable than that of the DPRK and China.

After the sailors went out to sea to catch Kun and the ecological survey cleared the land, the lives of the people were visibly getting better.

In case he was recognized by the emperor on the ship, he would have to be arrested and returned to the court to work.

"Old man Jia, why can't you buy stocks when you go to sea this time?"

A peasant man beside Jia Wuji muttered, his expression looking very aggrieved.

The imperial court does not sell stocks, but seeing that it is another bumper harvest, the millet and rice are placed at home, and they can't give birth to cubs, so they have lost a lot!

"It's okay, you go to sea with the fleet, wouldn't it be fine."

"Your family's land, wife and son, the old man will help you, don't worry."

The man thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Then I'm sorry for you, the fleet gives a lot of money, and you can earn a sum of money."

"Old man Jia, if you think my unsuccessful son can learn something, please teach me a thing or two."

Jia Wuji bowed his head.

He doesn't really want to go to sea, but it doesn't prevent him from fooling others to go to sea and help him find out the news.

Then, according to the information obtained, we will see if we can formulate the corresponding sea policy.

In this kind of century-old plan, he also wants to have a sense of participation.

Anyway, it's been stinking for 10,000 years, and I don't care if there will be other records in the history books.

As for how to let the court see his Haice, for him, there are too many ways.

As for the son of this peasant man

"It's fine."

The life of the people is very comfortable, and the days are getting sweeter and sweeter.

It's not bad to have a disciple in your spare time.

And the kid, though he stammered when he spoke, was quite intelligent and funny.

Within a few days, the fleet was out to sea.

"You can't be careless, this is out of Qiongzhou, it's not so safe."

"Those overseas barbarians, all unruly."

"This Luzon is not like Jiaozhi, which accepts my Chinese culture."

"They are just like the Donghu barbarians, they only have money in their eyes."

"Don't be merciful when it's time to be deterred."

"Everything is for the first emperor!!"

Liu Ke told the sailors, soldiers and people of the family.

At the same time, it was reiterated, for the sake of the first emperor.

Qiyan Silie's plan is actually really good, as long as the body is in Qiongzhou, it can't be found alive or dead.

can continue to attract the covetousness of Donghu Babu.

So Liu Ke chose to copy it directly.

In addition to the benefits of going to sea to do business, he also put a layer of skin on the sea trade to find the bones of the first emperor.

Thus appearing, more politically correct.

It is estimated that his father's body has sunk to the bottom along the current.

However, it does not hinder the use of residual heat.

It's all for the sake of righteousness!

The whole fleet, if you count all the boatmen, there are forty or fifty thousand people.

If it weren't for the family's money, with today's small imperial court, it would really not be able to afford a fleet of ships of this size to go to sea.

But it is also because of the size of the fleet.

All the people of the family, even in their hearts, still have a vague hope to see if they can meet pirates or something.

The emperor has said that he can't be merciful.

Just grab it first. Trade with pirates first, and open a meat game.

As for not giving money to pirates, that's also normal.

Where is the need to give money when doing business with thieves?

Besides, they spent a lot of money to hire a sailor, and they didn't let the sailor soldiers move their knives, and they always felt a loss in their hearts.

As for the danger

At the beginning, the people of the family were still worried about the wind and waves at sea.

But the emperor ordered their ships to be remodeled.

All of them hung broken wheels and carved donkeys' heads.

It is also necessary to put a rope on the rudder and connect the boats.

At that time, they thought that this was a characteristic of the Han Dynasty.

It is a sinister method to persecute them, so that they unconsciously have a greater sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty, so as to obey the orders of the imperial court.

It is a kind of subtle NTR, which is PUA.

But at this time, they knew the deep meaning.

The emperor has a destiny.

Blessed by God.

In that year, in a battle with the 100,000 sailors of the Puliuru Department, the emperor personally drove the building boat and collided with the building ship of the Puliuru Department.

After falling into the water, it was unscathed.

I was stunned and floated back along the water.

There are even rumors among the people that the first emperor dived in order to drink and climb the relationship with the dragon prince, so as to protect the current Han emperor.

The forest farm is enlightened, the saint is the son of heaven, and it is not a lie!

And when the ships are all connected by ropes, they become a whole.

If the Dragon Lord wants to protect the Son of Heaven, he can only protect all the ships together.

Since they went out to sea, they have encountered several big waves.

It's shocking that even the kind of boat that can't withstand the wind and rain doesn't sink with it.

And it's even more bizarre.

Whether it's a big ship or a small boat, the sailing speed is unexpectedly harmonious.

The small boat can keep up with the stability of the big boat, and the big boat can keep up with the speed of the small boat.

Under this kind of destiny fleet, if you encounter a pirate, you will run over it directly, and you will not have the slightest worry.

Even many families have been thinking about how to make a longer rope.

The emperor estimated that he would go to sea with them this time.

In the future, they will have to rely on their own desperate efforts.

Without the protection of the emperor's mandate, what should I do if I encounter wind and waves?

But with a long enough rope, the emperor can directly lead him from the palace, all the way across the sea, and never sink.

As long as the ship is not sunk, there is no risk in maritime trade, it is all benefits!

It's just that I really can't find a rope that's long enough.

"Is this the sea, it's magnificent."

He Hong couldn't help but clench his fists.

He stood on the deck, looking at the vast sea level in the distance, not daring to slack off.

He was accompanied on the boat, as well as a number of He family members.

But these family members who are not good at water are already vomiting and sluggish.

These are all processes that must be experienced for those who are going to sea for the first time.

It is likely that a month or two, or even the entire sea journey, will have to be spent in such a situation.

Don't say it's these people who are pampered on weekdays.

Even the forbidden army of the year has experienced such a thing.

He Hong is an exception.

It's not that he's used to it, but he can endure it.

If you vomit, you will have gastrointestinal discomfort and will be depressed.

He Hong is unwilling!

He was eager to merge with the ship and ensure the interests of the Ho family.

It's almost day and night.

How is it possible to let yourself be neglected because of the rocking of the ship?

So he forcibly endured it.

Want to throw up?

I endure.

Hold your breath and hold back fiercely.

I can't help it, and I have to swallow it desperately.

In his almost masochistic way, he really did it, quickly adapting to the wind and waves at sea.

Liu Ke was also full of emotion:

"I heard He Kun say before that his younger brother is not a climate, he is a waste."

"I also thought that He Hong might have a lot of discomfort when he went to sea, and this trip was equivalent to bringing an extra burden."

"I didn't expect this He Hong to behave so well, which is really gratifying to me!"

"He Hong does have some ability."

Fu Xuance's words were not for He Kun's sake and to flatter He Hong.

He is really admired, and what he says is from his heart.

Yue Shaoqian once said that if the Han is going to die, Yue will die first.

On He Hong, that is, the ship will sink, and He Hong will die first.

The cargo on the ship is almost half of He Hong's net worth.

Let him watch the ship sink and the cargo empty.

It was worse than killing him.

Normal people may really not understand how far a miser can go for money.

He Hong is practicing and constantly refreshing the bottom line.

Let's just say this seasickness vomits.

Even the sailor general Gan Wenban has been dizzy from the big boat, and there is nothing he can do.

But He Hong, stunned, relied on this hardcore method and quickly adapted.

And it's not about getting used to it, it's not about how comfortable it is.

It's to keep yourself in shape, to be able to keep an eye on the wind and waves, and keep an eye on the boat.

Anyone who slipped his hand while carrying goods was scolded by him for a while.

No matter how big or small, holding on to each one, it may make the goods damaged.

Although his ability is not good, he is desperate for his life, regardless of his own safety, and turns day and night.

The wisdom of his early 50s can be used by him as seventy or eighty.

In other families, when they are still vomiting and feeling uncomfortable.

He Hong was already swallowing vomit, and he couldn't wait to sleep with the goods day and night.

"I still have some experience in waste utilization."

Liu Ke saw that He Hong had dark circles under his eyes, and he was really moved.

Straw bales also have the use of straw bales.

This straw bale No. 1 is very well done.

even set an example for the family.

But Liu Yin, the No. 2 straw bag, vomited to death.

The boat was shaking, and seasickness was already uncomfortable.

But Liu Yin still can't put down the wine jar.

Spit out, pour a mouthful.

The more you vomit, the more you have to pour.

Liu Yin's idea is simple.

Every time I drank too much, sometimes I couldn't vomit out, and the next day, I felt unpleasant in my stomach, like heartburn, and it was very uncomfortable.

But seasickness at sea, you are not afraid of not being able to vomit, you can let go of drinking.

Liu Ke really has nothing to say about this straw bag nephew.

However, He Hong's performance is getting better and better.

The wind and waves at sea, he can solve it.

What Liu Ke is most afraid of is that the group of children of the family who went to sea obviously don't understand anything, but they still insist on pretending to be experts.

Don't even want to blindly command, a whole gentleman.

But if He Hong is there, there is no need to worry much.

Now all ships are connected by ropes, grasshoppers on a rope.

He Hong won't sit back and watch other people mess around.

Once there is a problem with other cargoes, he will definitely implicate himself, and the profits of the entire caravan, he will have a share of all the shares.

or polite, easy-going and polite, or coercion, coercion and inducement.

In addition, the Beipu He family, who is still somewhat famous behind him, really suppressed those children of the family.

He Hong was even more concerned about the safety of the voyage than the sailors, the officials of the imperial court, and Liu Ke himself.

Especially after forcibly swallowing vomit and getting used to it very quickly.

Brother He Kun's explanation, how to make a name for himself, how to make friends with sailors and families, he really doesn't necessarily put it on his body.

But the goods on board, the interests of maritime trade, he will never allow the slightest loss.

It is estimated that if someone drops a penny into the sea, He Hong can't wait to jump down and pick it up immediately!

After a long voyage to the open sea, the port of Luzon was finally revealed to everyone.

In front of the harbor is a bay with high rocks shaped like a wooden pestle.

The local indigenous people are called losung, hence the name Luzon.

The clear blue waters are sparkling and seem to be inlaid with countless sparkling gemstones.

The breeze blows across the sea, creating tiny ripples that decorate the reflection of the sun in a dazzling and beautiful way.

You can still vaguely see three or five fishing boats.

Whether it is a boatman from a civilian background or a big family, they can't help but let out exclamations and sighs, full of joy and excitement.

Some people immediately stopped what they were doing and stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.

Their eyes widened, and it was hard to hide their excitement.

Some people opened their mouths wide and stopped talking, as if they couldn't find the right words to describe their mood at the moment.

Like He Hong, who only had money in his eyes, he ran directly to the side of the boat and stretched his neck.

It is as if I want to see the whole Luzon scene.

He Hong had dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, and he didn't dare to sleep.

At this point, tears swirled in his eyes.

His face was intertwined with relief and emotion, and his hands were shaking involuntarily.

The most difficult voyage has passed.

The next thing is just to buy and sell, how can it be difficult to live with them?!!

Even the drunken Liu Yin was stunned.

The vast sea was easily conquered by the big man?

From Qiongzhou to Luzon, although it is not too far, there are also many storms.

But it was a ship, and there was no loss.

Just a little cargo, stained with water.

Liu Ke looked at everything with a smile.

It's all open, if something goes wrong, it's the system that's embarrassing.

"Fu Aiqing, you sent someone to deliver my letter, saying that we are here to do business."

"We and the Luzon people, first fair market and slow contact, there will be a better situation in the future."

Liu Ke went to sea in person, and he still had the intention of serving as a translator.

Luzon is different from Cochin, it is completely foreign, after years of development, it has its own set of culture and language, and it does not understand Chinese at all.

The destiny of international students is handy in this regard.

However, in the future maritime trade, language is indeed a problem.

It seems that we have to find a way to extract some emperors who are proficient in many Chinese languages.

Then the multiple languages of destiny are synthesized, and they are directly written and spoken.

No matter how bad it is, according to the translation in the book, word by word jumps out, plus fingering, it is enough.

Fu Xuance received the letter and went to arrange manpower.

Although he didn't know very well, when the emperor was in the people, how he met so many strange people who mastered the Chinese language.

But it doesn't matter.

Dealing with Luzon is different from dealing with Cochin, and it is not necessary to use it strongly.

Unlike Jiaozhi, which originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, it was also a Han State later.

Luzon basically did not communicate with the Han Dynasty, and if the army was forced, the Han would not be able to take advantage of it.

If you can, try not to use force.

And with the strength of Luzon, there is no need to strike first.

The sailor took the initiative to occupy the reason, directly pushed the treasury, and robbed the treasury of Luzon, and the other states had nothing to say.

Even, maybe there is no need for the imperial court to come forward.

It is not the Han court that goes to sea, but the Han Chamber of Commerce.

There are also many families who have invested in shares.

The imperial court is just dominant.

There were really Luzon natives who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the families spontaneously went hand in hand.

Blocking people's wealth is like killing parents.

These families are all waiting for the profits of sea trade to subsidize the fields!

If, of course, Luzon wasn't even willing to let caravans move in, and wasn't happy with free trade.

The Han sailors don't mind showing the demeanor of a world policeman and suppressing pirates off the coast of Luzon.

Pirates, you can't do it if you don't suppress it.

——

The nominal ruler of the whole of Luzon was the King of Roshe.

This royal name has been used for generations.

King Luo She, from the more southern island of Bo Ni, and has a relationship with the ruling family of Bo Ni.

The capital city of Luzon, south of the port of Manila, is known as Batangas.

It is estimated who shot eight arrows here to catch the geese, hence the name.

Compared with the two eagles with one stone, one arrow into the stone tiger, three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, etc., it is enough to see that Luzon's martial arts are not abundant.

King Roshe sat on his throne, and he had received the letter.

His brow furrowed, and there was a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Business, it's not that it can't be done.

But the Great Han has a caravan of forty or fifty thousand people, and trade of this scale is not a small fight.

There are gold mines in Luzon, a lot of gold mines.

The lineage of King Roshe was first sent out to mine gold by the ruler of Boni Island.

With the porcelain and silk of the Han Dynasty, it is easy to take the gold away.

At that time, the outflow of gold from Luzon will easily rise to a level that will affect the fortunes of the country.

King Roshe stood up and paced the halls of the palace with a heavy footsteps.

The courtiers stepped aside, feeling the tension in the boss's heart.

In their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

That's a big man!

Since the new emperor of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, even the Donghu people have been beaten to the point of barking again and again.

The Great Khan of Donghu was killed in battle.

How can they be confrontational?

King Rosher's eyes scanned the courtiers around him.

I saw that everyone's face was full of worry and nervousness.

I almost opened my mouth to say surrender.

Luzon had been plundered by Sun Zhien's gang of pirates before.

What's more, what about the Han Sailor who incorporated Sun Zhien's pirates?

"What do you guys think?"

King Roshe still couldn't help but ask questions, and it was better to brainstorm than to be in a hurry alone.

The courtiers saluted one after another, expressing their opinions.

"Although it is nominally a caravan to do business, there are too many people."

"I also ask the king to strengthen armaments and border defense to protect the security of the country."

"But at the same time, establishing friendly relations with Dahan can also bring certain benefits, mutual exchange, and mutual benefit."

"As for the pros and cons, we need to be more cautious and weigh them again."

Broadly speaking, they were divided into two factions, one was the Han threat faction, which believed that the Han who was too strong would pose a threat to the Luzon regime.

The other faction, the Kaihai faction, feels that this is a rare trade opportunity.

Because of Luzon's geographical advantages, there is enough food to eat, and there are no other bells and whistles.

King Roshe pondered for a moment, as a ruler, he had to make his own decisions.

After thinking for a while, he had an idea, and in the face of the ministers, his voice was firm and resolute:

"The order to go down and strengthen the armament is to guard against pirates."

"At the same time, we will also establish friendly relations with the Han Dynasty, but we must remain vigilant to ensure that our interests in Luzon are not harmed."

He chose to do both at the same time, and he also fulfilled the wishes of both factions.

Anyway, you can't stop the big man's boat.

Jiaozhi just wanted to stop the ship, but was "invaded by pirates".

King Roshe thought about it, and his voice was low and stern:

"In addition, immediately send someone to contact Dahan, and at the same time find out Dahan's true intentions."

"If you want to dock at the port, you can."

"It's okay to do business, but the scale of the business should be limited."

King Roshe had some eyesight.

It's just a small trade, but it's nothing.

But it was really necessary for the Han people to carry out large-scale trade, using porcelain, silk or something in exchange for a large amount of gold, grain, and some strategic materials, some of which outweighed the losses.

And he also knew that the Han Dynasty used the mutual market to deal with the natives of South Vietnam.

The two sides exchanged markets, which directly made the indigenous people of South Vietnam have a good impression of the Han Dynasty.

So as to assist the Han and break through Jiaozhi.

The indigenous people of Luzon, although not like the indigenous people of South Vietnam, have embraced Han culture and are more susceptible to sinicization.

But if it goes on for a long time, it will inevitably be affected.

Then, the dominance of the king of Tarosher over Luzon will inevitably decline.

This is something he will never allow.

"Then who should be sent to contact the big man?"

"I heard that this time, it is the emperor of the Han Dynasty who personally leads the caravan trade, and the candidate needs to be carefully considered."

King Roshe thought for a moment.

"Let Prigo take 2,000 people and go to Manila."

The ministers were stunned for a while.

This Prigo, they know.

On weekdays, he is responsible for King Roshe's three meals a day.

At the same time, he also served as a servant in some important banquets, such as banquets for some big people on Boni Island.

I have seen a lot of big people, and they belong to King Roshe's henchmen, and the two have known each other since childhood.

In terms of etiquette for treating the Han Emperor, there should be no problem.

But it also gives the right to fight

But King Rosher chose Prigo against public opinion, and he specifically asked for it.

With Prigo's ability, he can find out the intentions of the Great Han.

More importantly, be faithful enough.

If you change to another general, you can't beat the Han sailors, and whether you can not be suppressed as pirates, but second.

With the Han Dynasty in full swing, I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I took the soldiers on the spot and voted together.

Only Prigo.

King Roshe felt that even if all the ministers in this palace rebelled, it was impossible for Prigo to rebel.

And there is no food supply in Manila.

As long as he is on his side, in Batangas, he restricts Prigo's grain, and he doesn't have to worry about Prigo and his soldiers having other intentions.

As for the opposition of the ministers, it is also normal.

After all, seeing Prigo, a cook, taking on such a heavy responsibility, and being one step ahead of them, it is naturally easy to attract jealousy.

But it's just right.

The more jealous they are, the more they will be able to balance the forces of both sides.

King Roshe also didn't want to see that his courtiers had more power, and those who were monarchs had to know how to check and balance.

As a result, he overrode public opinion and trusted Prigona:

"Can a mere cook, even with soldiers, rebel?"
