"Although we are in the royal family, we can't openly disagree with the decree!"

The eldest princess exchanged glances with Qin Huaxuan, this Xu Mo is too fat.

If his father was present, he would definitely be furious when he heard this, and if he didn't do it, he would kill Xu Mo's head on the spot.

See the nervous appearance of the two.

Xu Mo said disapprerovingly: "It is precisely because of the forbidden sea that it is more suitable for you to do this business." ”

Qin Huaxuan and the eldest princess still couldn't help shaking their heads.

"Lord Xu, you can't harm us!"

If my father knew that they would partner with Xu Mo to go to sea to do business, they wouldn't be able to eat and go around.

Xu Mo said with a smile: "You have all obtained the approval of the royal products, and it would be a pity not to make full use of them." ”

The eldest princess somewhat understood, what kind of calculation Xu Mo made.

The eldest princess refused righteously: "No, we won't do this, if we are found, we will lose our lives." ”

Qin Huaxuan was a little tempted, but thinking that Qin Xiao knew about this, he would definitely punish himself severely.

He also hurriedly shook his head: "Lord Xu, there are many businesses that make money, so why bother looking for trouble." ”

"It's a big deal, it's okay for us to earn less!"

Seeing that both of them resolutely disagreed, Xu Mo was speechless.

I haven't finished talking yet, so I'm excited.

Xu Mo said slowly: "You misunderstood, what this official means is not to do business, but to clean up the robbers on the sea." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess and Qin Huaxuan immediately calmed down, but they were still confused:

"What do you mean?"

Exterminate pirates? What does this have to do with making money!

Xu Mo knew in his heart that the two would never violate the national policy of banning the sea, and if they wanted to pull them into the water, they had to change their words.

Xu Mo let out a long sigh: "Actually, this official came to Fengzhou, and he was under a lot of pressure. ”

The eldest princess and Qin Huaxuan were puzzled.

"What does that mean?"

are all thinking about which one Xu Mo is playing.

Xu Mo had a bitter look on his face: "You listen to me." ”

"Since I arrived in Toyosu, the pressure on my body has been a lot of pressure!"

"But I don't dare to tell others easily, for fear of causing adverse effects."

"Now that I've met an old friend, it's a rare opportunity to speak."

Seeing Xu Mo's sad face, Qin Huaxuan felt that he was pitiful.

I couldn't help asking, "Lord Xu, tell me, what's wrong?" ”

"You don't know!"

Xu Mo calmed down and said slowly: "People who come to Fengzhou think that Fengzhou is thriving and a good place to make a fortune. ”

"Of course, the official is also confident that Fengzhou is developing very well."

"But ah, if a person has no long-term concerns, he must have near-term worries."

"I thought about it, in a few years, there will still be an accident in Fengzhou."

Listen to Xu Mo's categorical speech.

The eldest princess and Qin Huaxuan were stunned.

Qin Huaxuan asked, "Why did Lord Xu say that?" What could happen? ”

Xu Mo sighed: "In Fengzhou City, the people have easily become rich, but outside the city, what should I do?" ”

"After the people have money and live a good life, who wants to work in the farmland outside the city?!"

"If this goes on for a long time, the food supply will be insufficient, and there will be a famine."

Xu Mo's tone was very serious.

Hearing the eldest princess and Qin Huaxuan, their expressions also became solemn.

Qin Huaxuan asked: "Since the adults predicted this situation, they should deal with it in time." ”

"Does Lord Xu have a solution?"

Xu Mo nodded: "Of course, I have a solution." ”

"Fengzhou is coastal on both sides, and for the rampant bandits on the sea, they may plunder the coastal zone at any time, so who would dare to farm the land?"

This is the sequelae of Qin Xiao's sea ban.

Once it was forbidden to go to the sea to do business, the imperial court's naval army naturally became weak.

Because there is no big profit drive, and it has to maintain huge military spending all year round, which is something that the newly established Great Zhou cannot afford.

In recent years, pirates in their own country, and even in collusion with other countries, have become increasingly rampant, but they have not received the attention of the imperial court.

After all, Toyosu is poor, and pirates can't grab much of a valuable thing.

But if Toyosu develops, it will be different.

"So, I said that the most urgent issue at the moment is to eliminate the bandits at sea and protect the farmland along the coast."

"Then we can safely let the people grow crops, and the problem of food will no longer be a problem."

Qin Huaxuan nodded uncontrollably.

"Makes sense."

Xu Mo continued: "Of course, however, it takes time to harvest grain. ”

"So, Ben Guan thought. After the pirates were cleared, a permanent naval army was set up, and the people could also fish in the coastal waters. ”

"In this way, seafood such as marine fish and pearls can be sold to the rich at a high price, and it can also make the life of the people of Toyosu better."

Qin Huaxuan suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Yes, in this way, there is no need to wait for the harvest of grain, the people have something to eat." ”

The more Qin Huaxuan looked at Xu Mo, the more he admired.

What a great talent, far-sighted, I have to admire.

Xu Mo clapped his hands happily: "Yes, that's the truth."

He added: "Of course, just the navy goes to sea to suppress bandits, and the cost is huge, and we must find a way to subsidize the military expenses. ”

"In this way, it can not only earn a huge amount of income from maritime trade, but also build a naval army, which is simply the best of both worlds, complementing each other......"

Speaking of which.

Xu Mo glanced at Qin Huaxuan and the others deeply.

"The profits of trading at sea are far greater than those on land. You are a royal family or an imperial businessman, and the conditions really can't be better. ”

"Are you really not tempted?"

The eldest princess thought about it carefully, and finally said: "It's a matter of national policy, and the risk is still too great." ”

Xu Mo persuaded bitterly: "What is there to worry about? Who are you? Besides, we are clearing pirates, not violating the national policy, the emperor can't kill you for this! ”

The eldest princess, as well as Qin Huaxuan, is actually a little tempted.

The benefits mentioned by Xu Mo are, of course, very tempting.

However, the two of them were not just ordinary royals, behind them, standing was Qin Xiao.

After thinking about it, the eldest princess said, "Lord Xu, we all understand what you said. ”

"But it's not a small matter, and we can't do it."

"It's better to give us some time, and when we go back, we will make a decision after we have made a decision."

The eldest princess can only do this.

She herself would definitely not dare to agree to such a big thing.

Xu Mo also knew this truth, nodded and said:

"Okay, then the official is waiting for your good news."

The two sisters and brothers didn't know how Qin Xiao would look at this.

I'll have to go back and talk about it.
