Chapter 70: Isn't That Hooked?

Liu Mo was curious, and asked again and again, and the man explained the matter one by one.

It turned out that because of the war of the previous year, in order to win the war, the strategy of blocking the enemy's sea supply lines was decided. As a result, the government ordered a ban on the sea, and only coastal residents were allowed to fish in the restricted sea area.

After the end of the war, I don't know whether the government forgot about it, or for other reasons, the ban on the sea has continued until now.

The residents of Donglai Island live on the sea, and the sea has been closed for several years, and the surrounding fish have been caught, which has caused the residents of the island to be so embarrassed.

After understanding the situation, Liu Mo's eyes closed tightly and fell into deep thought.

Soon after, he opened his eyes and laughed out loud: "God help me!" ”

The owner of the house was confused by Liu Mo's sudden laughter, and even the woman's crying stopped.

"Haha, brother, don't be surprised, I, Liu Mo, will not forget the grace of this meal."

As he spoke, he left a handful of money and walked away quickly.

Zhao Da followed Liu Mo out of the room, "Uncle, where are we going?" ”

"Just follow the show and watch it!"

~~~

Trotting all the way, Liu Mo led Zhao Da back to Li Cheng's house again.

It was noon, and the family was sitting together and eating lunch.

As Liu Mo expected, there was very little food on the table, all of them were some sea vegetables and the like, and there was no meat at all.

"Hey, it's done this time!"

Seeing Liu Mo return again, Li Cheng looked a little impatient. "What's the matter with the two of you?"

"Hahaha, naturally it's for the purchase of land!" Liu Mo bowed and said.

"You don't understand if you say you don't sell or rent?" Li Cheng's son stood up and wanted to drive the two away.

"Mr. Li, did you just watch the family starving, but did nothing?" Liu Mo raised his voice. "You don't care about the life or death of your own family, and you don't care about the life or death of the entire Donglai Island islanders?"

Li Cheng raised his head and pointed at Liu Mo tremblingly, "You... What does this mean? ”

Liu Mo cleared his throat, "Dare to ask Mr. Li, how much grain is still stored on Donglai Island?" ”

Li Cheng frowned, "This person has seen my predicament on Donglai Island?" Could it be that he wants to use this as a threat to buy land at a lower price? What a vicious heart! ”

Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "Donglai Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so what do you need to store food?" ”

"Oh? So I walked around the island, but I didn't see any family catching half of the fish? ”

"The fish is fresh, and if you catch it so early, it will smell fishy."

The mouth is really hard, Liu Mo thought to himself.

"Since that's the case, then I'll retire first." After speaking, he glanced at Ambassador Zhao.

Zhao Da has been following Liu Mo for so long, and he suddenly understood, "It seems that the matter of the 'sea ban' does not know that adults are worried." Uncle, let's come for nothing! ”

As soon as he heard the words "sea ban", Li Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, "Stay, two of you, please stay!" He hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of the two.

"What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

"Fang Cai, Liu Gongzi, you said 'sea ban'!"

"Yes, that's what the two of us are here for!" Liu Modao.

Li Cheng was so excited, "The two of you are officials? ”

Liu Mo shook his head, "No, but I, Liu, have some friendship with the official family." ”

"I don't know which adult Liu Gongzi is friends with?" Li Cheng's eyes changed from one expectation to another.

"I can't disclose it below."

Li Cheng frowned again when he heard this, "Then Gongzi Liu, what are you here for?" ”

"Naturally, it's about buying land. It's just that before I came, I heard my family mention that the 'sea ban' in Xiangshan County has caused a famine among the people, so I agreed to come down and come to find out! ”

"What !!" Li Cheng shouted excitedly.

"Haha, according to Mr. Li's words, Donglai Island is rich in people. Now that the enemy country is on the border of our Great Xia, I think this 'sea ban' will continue for a few years. ”

"I can't help it!" Li Nian was anxious, and in a panic, he directly grabbed Liu Mo's sleeve, "Young Master Liu, the old man doesn't know your identity and talks nonsense." This 'sea ban' really can't be continued! ”

It would have been nice to have done this sooner, really!

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Liu Mo showed a smile, "Mr. Li, now you can talk about the current situation of Donglai Island again." ”

"Hey... To tell the truth, if this 'sea ban' is no longer understood, hundreds of families on my Donglai Island will have no way to live! ”

Then, Li Cheng sat back and carefully described what had happened in the past three years.

"I see!"

"Liu Gongzi, please also be sure to tell your lords that this sea is forbidden..."

Hearing this, Liu Mo's eyes rolled, "Mr. Li, the matter of the sea ban will be made clear in the future." However, the mission at hand has not yet been completed, and if this errand is not done well, he will inevitably be punished. ”

"Another errand? Dare to ask yes? ”

"Buy land, make salt!"

"Humph! Daddy, don't fall for this profiteer! Li Cheng's son shouted angrily, "First they lied to us and said that the official family came to investigate the people's situation, but now they say that they want to buy land." The surname is Liu, what is your purpose? ”

Liu Mo didn't blame him, he just smiled faintly, "I don't know if Gongzi Li has ever heard of the 'red-top merchant'!" ”

Without waiting for Li Cheng's father and son to speak, he continued, "I am a businessman, and the primary purpose of coming here is to purchase land. However, it is not difficult to lift the 'sea ban' for you. ”

At this time, we should not emphasize the falsification of "inspecting the people's feelings," but should shift the focus to lifting the 'sea ban.'

Huang Shouren loves the people like a son, and knows that the sea ban in Xiangshan County will bring such a heavy burden to the people, and he will definitely write to the court to lift the 'sea ban'.

The prince behind him is tearing up with other princes, can he drag it out when he encounters such a matter of making political achievements?

Therefore, when Liu heard the information of "sea ban", he immediately had a plan.

Take the lifting of the sea ban as a 'temptation', and prostitute a wave of land in vain!

"Daddy, don't believe him, it's a big deal that we moved away from Donglai Island!"

"Shut up! Born in Si, grown up in Si! How can you leave easily! Li Cheng scolded, "Young Master Liu, there is no basis for empty words, how can we trust you?" ”

This question asked Liu Mo, even if I talk about my "friendship" with Huang Shouren, it is difficult to convince them.

"In this way, all the silver I brought will be pressed on you, and as soon as the sea ban is lifted, you will pay me back!"

"The silver taels will always run out one day, this sea ban is incomprehensible, and we still have no way to live." Li Cheng's son said, "In the surrounding waters, not to mention fish, shells are all going to be fished." ”

Liu Mo frowned, this guy is a bit difficult.

Suddenly, he repeated that sentence in his mind, the sea ban was incomprehensible, and there was still no way to live.

"Yes, now you have to ask me, I can't buy land to make salt, so it's a big deal to toss some more time. Your trouble is about survival! ”

"Forget it, I don't have any trust at all, Liu won't bother, say goodbye!"

Seeing this, Li Cheng panicked. "Stay, Liu Gongzi, please stay! Good to discuss, good to discuss! ”

Hey, hey, take the bait!
