When night came, butter candles were lit in the lobby, shining brightly all around.
Fang woke up, took a teacup and said, "the intention of banning the sea in the Ming Dynasty is mainly to guard against Japanese pirates, but what if there are no Japanese pirates?"
"Isn't it possible to open the sea?"
Xu Qing said excitedly that as a businessman at the seaside, he could not understand the benefits of opening the sea.
Fang Xing shook his head and let Xu Qing's excitement drift.
"In my judgment, it is impossible to open the sea in seven or eight years!"
Xu Qing wondered, aren't you looking for plum to quench your thirst?
"But hope is always there."
Fang said brightly: "at present, what we need to do is to accumulate strength, further improve the quality of our goods and reduce the cost of our goods. At that time, our merchant ships will follow the warships of Daming and go wherever we can to earn their money and crack down on their industry and Commerce..."
Fang Xing paused for a moment and saw Xu Qing's dull appearance. Lifting his eyes, Wang Liang was by the door, listening with a tangled face.
"Go and tell them there's nothing at this time."
Nothing at this time, but it doesn't mean nothing in the future. Xu Qing understood it and replied to the restless merchants.
"Didn't you eat?"
Fang Xing asks Wang Liang to come in and give him the confession.
But in this copy of the confession, there are no names of those big businesses at all!
Wang Liang shook his head and said, "I didn't eat. I want to come to uncle to see what I have to eat."
Fang woke up with a smile, called a knife and asked him to make a hot pot in the kitchen.
"It's cold here sooner or later. Eat a hot pot to get rid of the cold."
The ingredients of hot pot are mostly seafood, which is not bad to eat.
After taking a sip of wine, Fang woke up and said comfortably, "but I don't think Daming's warships serve businessmen?"
Xu Qing was tearing a crab and nodded: "yes, uncle, businessmen value profits over righteousness!"
Fang woke up and said with a smile, "that's because deterrence is not enough. I have two things. One is the law, and law enforcement must be strict. The other is the administration of officials. As for how to study it carefully, it's empty talk at this time. Let's wait for the future."
Seeing Wang Liang meditating, Fang woke up and said, "you have read history books, then you should know the harm of land annexation in previous dynasties. If you don't dredge this force outward, how can Daming avoid it..."
What can you avoid? Rise and fall reincarnation!
One night without a word, the next morning, Fang Xing and Wang He, Wang Liang's memorials were on their way.
……
Zhu Zhanji was staring at the small jars in front of him in a daze, while Wan Wan's big eyes blinked and urged him to open the jar quickly.
Open the seal and a strong smell comes out.
"It's fish!"
Wan Wan cheered, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Liang Zhong frowned and said, "princess, let the old slave try first."
Although it was sent by Fang Xing's person, Liang Zhong thought he should try the black bean fish that was said to have been placed for more than half a month, otherwise he would have diarrhea.
Wan Wan widened her eyes, looked at Liang Zhong's face and ate tragically, and couldn't wait to ask, "is it delicious?"
Liang Zhong carefully ate another piece, and his eyebrows gradually stretched out: "delicious! But the old slave thought it would take half an hour."
Zhu Zhanji took the jar impolitely, then took out a few large pieces of fish and ordered, "send those black bean fish to Grandpa Huang, and say it was from Xinghe Bona."
With that, the two brothers and sisters sent someone to bring rice and the black bean fish.
When the black bean fish were sent to Zhu Di, he was still reading the memorial.
The eunuch asked with a low eyebrow: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. His highness TAISUN sent new food. Look..."
Zhu Di put down the memorial and asked, "what new food?"
The eunuch quickly replied, "it's the black bean fish sent by xinghebo."
Zhu Di glanced at the memorials he had just read, nodded and said, "then set the meal."
The steamed black bean fish made Zhu Di's eyebrows relaxed. He took the dish and soon a few big cakes went into his stomach.
Seeing Zhu Di's delicious food, the eunuch muttered in his heart that he was going to ask someone to talk to Zhu Zhanji. In the future, this black bean fish can often be sent.
Zhu Di put down his chopsticks and got up and said, "don't steam next time. The black bean fish must be cold to eat."
The eunuch didn't believe it. After Zhu Di left, he took a chopstick and tasted the cooled black bean fish.
"Tut! It's really cold and delicious!"
Back in the Qianqing palace, Zhu Di called Hu Guang, who had just finished his meal, and said, "draw a decree."
Hu Guang hurriedly prepared to stop, and then listened.
Zhu Di walked around the hall and said slowly, "the Japanese pirates have done harm to one side. Although I think God has the virtue of living well, I must use Thunderbolt means to show my great anger!"
After savoring the taste of black bean fish just now, Zhu Di continued: "in addition to the leader, make Xinghe Bo kill them all... Cast the capital temple in Taizhou Prefecture! To deter overseas officials!"
Hu Guang thought about the good news that had just arrived today. It was difficult to understand the taste in his heart.
"Let Fang wake up..." Zhu Di looked at the sunshine outside and said faintly.
……
In the first fresh, Fang Xi asked the waiter to bring in those small jars. As a result, the familiar old guests saw it and wanted to eat it immediately.
Fang Xi was helpless and had to open several jars according to the delivery man's instructions. Some were steamed and some were sent as cold dishes.
"Delicious! It smells delicious. It's great to eat!"
"Heat a pot of wine."
"The fish is served with hot wine. It must taste good."
"Any more? Sell me some jars and take them home!"
Fang Xi said with a smile, "I'm really sorry. The fish was sent from Zhejiang Jiang. The quantity is not much."
Jinling is not that you can't eat seafood, but there are few varieties. It's too difficult to eat a pleasant taste.
Moreover, seafood should be delivered to Jinling City alive. Naturally, the price is not cheap.
Back downstairs, Fang Xi heard the news.
"It is said that the heads of the Japanese pirates killed by Na Xinghe Bo in Taizhou prefecture were rolling, and he also cast a Beijing Temple by the sea, which scared the Japanese pirates to see that they would never touch the shore again..."
"Tut tut! This xinghebo is the reincarnation of the God of death!"
"Bullshit! You have forgotten that Xing He Boke is a member of the whole family. If it weren't for... They might have won the first prize long ago!"
“……”
In Fang's village, Zhang Shuhui, who received Fang Xing's letter, had a pink face. When she told everyone, she distributed rice grain to celebrate.
Xiaobai holds the grown rhubarb, and there is a bell at his feet. He asks eagerly, "madam, when does the young master say he will come back?"
Zhang Shuhui said happily, "my husband said, he won't be out for a long time after all. It's estimated that he can come back years ago."
At this time, a servant girl came outside and passed Zhu Zhanji's message.
"Your Highness said that the edict of recalling the master has set out and will definitely come back years ago."
Zhang Shuhui waved her hand. After the servant girl went down, she whispered, "this credit can't be too much. When my husband comes back this time, let him have more rest."
Although she said so, Zhang Shuhui thought of Zhang Fu's words.
——Dehua doesn't control the army, so it's not a big taboo in military merit!
In contrast, Zhang Fu's several southern expeditions were all in charge of the army alone. Of course, he had to hide his strength and bide his time!
