Chapter 215: Talking
Due to the existence of Jiang Huan's "Reverse Scale Divine Mang" in his body, Shen Chaixing has always been cautious in cultivating his true qi recently, for fear that the divine light lurking somewhere in his body will suddenly appear and hit his vital point, so he pays more attention to the cultivation of his own mind and spiritual sense, and in this way, he has taken a big step towards the "other heart channel" of the six divine powers of the Great Wuxiang Gong.
Shen Chaixing's question suddenly asked in an unhurried tone had the effect of "pointing directly at the hearts of the people", so that Li Fangyuan had to answer immediately and couldn't dodge.
Li Fangyuan's heart was shocked, at that time, he was already far away from the battlefield, and if he was only visually inspected, and he was not particularly careful, he could not see it at all, he was still observing with the Western ingenious weapon "Thousand Miles Tube", this "Sheng Yong" was still in the fierce battle at that time, how could he detect his existence?
When he looked up at Shen Chaixing's eyes, he suddenly saw that the other party's eyes were like a clear pool, and his soul was like being immersed in a pool of pure water, which was cool from the inside out, and he didn't dare to lie, so he nodded and admitted: "Yes, when you encountered the Japanese ambush in Zhehai, I was indeed nearby, and the black-tailed boat was also mine." ”
Seeing that everyone in the Ming Dynasty was hostile except for Shen Chaixing, he hurriedly smiled bitterly and explained: "However, the matter of the attack on you by the Japanese Invaders has absolutely nothing to do with me, and I myself have nothing to do with the Wolves. ”
"Then how do you explain this so-called 'coincidence'? You must know that all the coincidences in this world are actually deliberately made by people!" Bai Qingchen asked with murderous intent.
"When the sword god asked, Xiao Ke should know everything. Faced with Bai Qingchen's question, Li Fangyuan did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully, "Here's the thing, the Tianxia Association has been established for twenty or thirty years. A few years later, when I was a little qualified to speak in this world, I proposed at the member meeting of the Tianxia Association to invite the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty to join the Tianxia Society. The main reason is that in recent years, the Ming Dynasty may be to protect the safety of coastal trade, or feel that coastal trade is one of the reasons for the proliferation of Japanese invaders, in short, the Ming Emperor began to gradually ban maritime trade. Bai Lao knows this situation. ”
Bai Qingchen nodded, the Japanese were already rampant in the coastal areas of China and North Korea in the Yuan Dynasty, but now they are more rampant, and Zhu Yuanzhang tried to reduce the Japanese by prohibiting coastal trade, but in fact, he put the cart before the horse, which increased the scale of the Japanese Invaders, and the main reason was that some Ming Dynasty people were driven by interests to join the ranks of the Japanese Invaders, which made the Wolves more harmful. But who would dare to tell Zhu Yuanzhang this fact?
Li Fangyuan saw Bai Qingchen nodding in agreement, so he let go of half of his mind and continued to explain: "If the Ming royal family joins the Tianxia Society, and at the same time, all overseas trade is transshipped through Xunxian Island, which will not violate the ban on coastal trade, but also ensure the uninterrupted trade. The particularity of the members of the Ming royal family can make such trade public and private, and the flexibility is greatly increased. ”
"You must know that I have studied the dynasties of Middle-earth, if it is powerful, it is better than the Qin and Han dynasties, but when it comes to wealth, there is only the Tang and Song dynasties, and the wealth of the Song Dynasty is still above the Tang Dynasty. ”
"There are many reasons why Tang Zhi is rich, but trade with the countries of the Western Regions is definitely an important reason. The Song Dynasty was special in that it did not have a strong army like the Tang Dynasty, let alone much land, and most of the country's income came from maritime trade. It was this seemingly inconspicuous maritime trade that made the Song Dynasty a wealthy country, and through continuous spending of money, the Song Dynasty actually maintained it for hundreds of years, which shows the importance of maritime trade. ”
Li Fangyuan was completely relaxed at the moment, talking eloquently, and everyone temporarily put aside their hostility and listened to him, even Zhu Yunzhen nodded secretly and agreed with his point of view. Shen Chaixing couldn't help but admire in his heart, as a member of the Li Dynasty's royal family, Li Fangyuan really has a unique vision, and he has both depth and breadth in seeing problems. Since Shen Chaixing had the blood of King Wu flowing in his body, he not only understood these truths as soon as he heard them, but was also quite interested.
"It's such a proposal that is beneficial to Xunxian Island and Daming, but some people support it and some people oppose it. Needless to say, those who support it must agree with me, and among those who oppose it, except for some small countries who are worried that the Ming family is dominant, the Ethereal Palace Master is actually against it! This is something I never could figure out. Due to the special status of the Ethereal Palace in Xunxian Island, this matter can only be stopped, and of course, the Ming Dynasty has no royal reaction. ”
"However, the matter has taken a turn for the better, and the Ethereal Palace Lord not only agreed to my proposal, but also explained that once the Ming Dynasty royal family has the intention of coming to the island, I will be responsible for the reception on the island. And I have already arranged for the patrol of the warships of Xunxian Island in the nearby waters and escorted them from afar. But who knows, not long after leaving the Zhejiang Sea, he was actually ambushed by the Japanese invaders on a large scale, which was really unexpected to me. Fortunately, with the sword god to protect him, Brother Sheng showed his courage again, so he turned the crisis into safety, and did not turn a good thing into a tragedy!"
In the face of Li Fangyuan's embarrassing and reasonable explanation, Shen Chaixing really didn't see any flaws. Could it be that the Tianxia Society is really so innocent, and that the attack on the sea was just a coincidence? It seemed that Li Fangyuan alone could not open the gap, so he smiled and said: "Since the Tianxia Association sincerely invited us to come, we should still be able to meet other members of the Tianxia Society, right?"
Li Fangyuan nodded and said: "That's natural, there should have been a grand reception ceremony today, but as soon as you have just arrived, you are tired from the journey and need to rest, and the master of the Ethereal Palace went out a few days ago, so you should return to the island tomorrow." Therefore, the members of the World Association decided to hold a grand welcome party the day after tomorrow to welcome everyone and get to know each other. ”
"Oh, is the location also on this main island, I'd like to have a good tour!" Shen Chaixing asked.
"There is no problem with the tour, how about I be the guide tomorrow? But the banquet will not be held on the main island, but on the island where the Ethereal Palace is located. ”
"That's even better!" Shen Chaixing said happily when he heard this, "I heard that the beauties in the ethereal palace are like clouds, yes or no?"
Who knew that Li Fangyuan did not accept Shen Chaixing's pretending to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng said that you are laughing! With your intelligence and martial arts, you should not be a person who lacks the company of beauties, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Linglong'er showed a slight resentment in her eyes, but Zhu Yunzhen just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was smiling. All this fell in Li Fangyuan's eyes.
