Chapter 1264: Finding a Supply Port

Li Yan's sweat began to flow again, and he understood what Liu Maopao meant.

It seems that his own vision and political and economic thinking are indeed very immature, far from the level of managing a country.

And people like themselves are already the most knowledgeable, the smartest, and the most knowledgeable about politics and economics in the army.

Let such an invading army seize the world, how can the common people live well?

Li Yan's voice became smaller: "Then the army doesn't have to kill all the rich people, leave half of the ......"

Liu Maopao: "Didn't you just say that you killed the rich people and used their money to fund military expenses?" You're now saying you're only half of the kill. Is only half of the people's money enough for the military expenses of the army? Will it be enough to raise the army until the day when the world is peaceful and disbanded? Then you have to pay the food in advance, right? The world is not yet peaceful, start paying food in advance, and the people will not follow the army, so what should I do? Aren't the people who followed the army before dumbfounded? ”

Li Yan: "......"

Liu Maopao sighed: "Brother Tai and I argued a few words, in just one pillar of incense time, the concept has begun to contradict itself, crooked, if Li Yan, the military advisor of the army, is also at the same level as Brother Tai, then how can the army manage the country well?" Isn't it time to declare it finished? ”

This sentence was like a sharp sword, and it stabbed Li Yan through with a pop.

He was speechless for a long time.

Pedal pedal back several steps......

At this time, a poor man spoke: "This gentleman, you just want to say that the imperial court is right to collect heavy taxes?" We deserve to be taxed, we deserve to be bullied, right? ”

Liu Maopao shook his head: "No, I didn't mean that!" The imperial court is now riddled with maladministration, and it has come time to vigorously reform. Although the tax must be collected, it must be reduced, and it can only be levied within a reasonable range. Charge more for the rich and less or no for the poor......"

When he said this, Li Yan's eyes lit up.

The poor people also felt that there was some reason, and they listened to it one by one.

Liu Maopao began to talk eloquently, talking about politics, economy, business, and commercial taxation......

These things are a bit boring, the real poor people begin to understand it, and the people around him begin to disperse.

But when a learned person passes by here, he can't help but stop and listen to a few words, and then he can't move his footsteps.

Slowly, the people around changed from a large group of poor people to a group of scholars, scholars, squires, landlords, businessmen, etc......

Li Yan listened very seriously, because he was more eager to learn these things than ordinary rich people, and it was very likely that he would become the first assistant in the near future, at least he thought so.

This study took more than an hour.

It wasn't until Liu Maopao was tired of talking that he stopped.

Li Yan didn't think he had to listen to it, and when he walked down one street, he found that there was another scholar who told the people at another street that it was impossible for King Chuang not to pay food, and the logic behind it.

Li Yan listened for a while, and suddenly felt his emotions darken.

sighed, walked out of the city of Jinan, stood on the official road outside the city, looked back at Jinan from afar, and thought to himself: There are masters in the court! I thought I was very knowledgeable, but when I met these masters, I was still a bad chess player after all. No, no, no, it's more than a dozen. The hearts of the people in Jinan will soon be stabilized by them.

Not only Jinan City, but all of a sudden, all cities in Shandong Province, there were scholars "sent by Sun Chuanting", who were everywhere on the streets and alleys to lay out facts and reason with the common people. Explain the "inoperability" of the sentence "the king comes and does not pay the grain".

At first, the poor people didn't listen.

"I don't listen, I don't listen, if you want me to pay food, you must be a bad guy, and those who don't pay food are good people."

However, as more and more people understand this, the wind of public opinion will eventually change......

Ordinary people are not really stupid, nor do they really understand anything.

It's just that they are easy to be used by people with intentions on some issues, and they are led to a crooked rhythm.

Once you point them in the right direction, they themselves will think the same way, and then come to the right conclusion by thinking -

Quanzhou, Jinjiang County.

Xiaohei No. 1 slowly sailed to Jinjiang Weitou Port.

There are also two small boats of Zheng Zhilong's family in front to guide the way......

Someone on the boat shouted loudly: "You can dock here, it won't run aground, don't worry." ”

Xiao Hei No. 1 followed and stopped steadily at the port.

Then, a large number of sailors began to disembark and go ashore one by one.

If you stay on the ship for a long time, you have to go back to the land and get a good rest, otherwise you will not be able to walk on land.

Demon Star Roll also jumped onto the land and shook his hands and feet.

A soldier under the command of Zheng Zhilong in front walked over and hugged his fist at the demon star roll: "We have prepared the coal you wanted." ”

Demon Star Roll was overjoyed: "Thank you so much." ”

It turned out that the demon star roll came to Jinjiang Weitou Port this time to supply coal.

In the past, every time he ran out of coal, he had to return to Zhoushan Island, which was quite troublesome, the distance was long, and the time was delayed.

But a few days ago, he met Zheng Zhihu's ship at sea, and the two said hello, and learned from Zheng Zhihu's mouth that Jinjiang County also wants to produce coal, and the amount produced is still quite a lot, which can fully support the fuel consumption of Xiaohei No. 1.

The demon star roll was replenished this time, so he didn't go back to Zhoushan Island, and simply came to Weitou Port in Jinjiang County.

As soon as Zheng's people gave the order, a warehouse next to the port opened its door, and the migrant workers carried baskets of coal from it, and soon piled up a large pile.

Demon Star Juan was overjoyed: "This is really good! In the future, I only need to cross a strait to replenish coal, and then I can go to Yizhou Island to amuse the Dutch. ”

The Zheng people smiled and said: "Your cannonballs are special, you can't supply them here, if you want to supply cannonballs, you still have to go back to Zhoushan Island." ”

Demon Star Roll: "It's not a big problem, as long as there is a coal mine here, it will save a lot of trouble, cannonballs or something, you can also think of other ways." ”

In fact, the Demon Star Scroll also carries the order of Tianzun, that is, "looking for a suitable place to build a supply port along the coast", this task is a long-term exploration mission.

Tianzun's goal is very ambitious, and the supply port should cover every ocean in the world.

Demon Xingjuan hurriedly sent someone to take Zheng's boat back to Zhoushan to report that there was a coal mine in Jinjiang County, and he himself, after supplying the coal, bought a batch of food and drinking water in Jinjiang County, and set sail again...... rushed towards Yizhou Island.
