Chapter 852： persuade

If she were an ordinary person, she might not have changed much, but she now has a powerful and powerful husband. If she doesn't do something, Mu Yangling feels that she is really ashamed of her descendants, so she dragged her that night. Qi Haoran, told him how vast the world outside the sea is, and we should strive for our own interests instead of forbearance against pirates.

Qi Haoran said, "The sea is all water, so what's the use of it? The interests you say are not just sea trade, right? A Ling, I value this because he likes doing business, don't you like farming? Why? Are you so interested in doing business? Compared with fields, mountains and forests, sea trade is only a small item. It only benefits some groups and has little impact on the country and the people. Except for sea salt, I can’t think of the impact of the ban on the sea. The fields, mountains and forests are the lifeblood of the people, as long as we do these things well, we don’t have to worry about the country’s lack of strength, but you’re right, we shouldn’t be patient with pirates.”

Qi Haoran sighed, "It's a pity that I don't understand water warfare, otherwise I would have beaten those pirates so much that they don't even know their parents."

Mu Yangling immediately thought about it and retorted: "Fields, mountains and forests are indeed the most important to the common people, but not all common people have fields." Seeing that Qi Haoran was about to refute, Mu Yangling immediately raised his hand to stop him and said: "Don't tell me that the Yongye field and the share fields were divided by the imperial court. In the coastal areas, where there are few people and many people, and most of them are saline-alkali land, those fishermen who want to share the fields are tantamount to ascending to the sky. They can only rely on fighting Fishing for a living, the imperial court banned the sea, affecting not only Haiyan, but millions of people along the coast of Haiyan."

Seeing Qi Haoran pondering, Mu Yangling continued: "Besides, it is the most taboo to use soldiers to retreat and show weakness. Now that we retreat to the forbidden sea, we are undoubtedly telling the pirates that we are afraid. They are afraid that they will be more fearless. Going ashore and looting, when we forbid the sea to give up five miles of sea area, they will dare to cross the line of defense and go directly inland in the future."

"How is this possible?" Qi Haoran despised Mu Yangling, "They only have a few boats, how many soldiers can they bring in? It's possible that my army of hundreds of thousands on land is just a decoration?"

Yes, but the Qing Dynasty was opened like this, and thousands of people just broke through the defense line of the Qing Dynasty. Didn't the Qing Dynasty also have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed?

At this time, Mu Yangling asked Qi Haoran with some sadness, "The time goes back to Sejong's time, if someone told Sejong and his ministers at that time, one day, the coastal waters of Dazhou will be ravaged by pirates, and even coastal fishermen will be ravaged by pirates. Do you think Sejong and his courtiers would believe that they were slaughtered and looted by pirates?"

Qi Haoran was silent.

Mu Yangling sighed and said, "The national strength is getting weaker day by day, if you take one step back, others can take two steps forward. Nothing is impossible in this world. The current ban on the sea is indeed only to reduce sea trade, increase the price of salt, and increase the cost of coastal waters. People's livelihood is more difficult, but in the long run, what we have lost is the confidence and determination to fight pirates. We will retreat step by step, and give up the land that should belong to us to others. Haoran, the land is ours, we can't let it go, the sea It’s also ours, and we can’t let it go either, so you should study water warfare diligently and prepare for defending your homeland and the country.”

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, but he didn't expect A Ling to open his mouth to ask him to learn water fighting, he immediately said: "I don't even know how to swim. "

"What's so difficult about this, isn't it just swimming? Just ask someone to teach you. You are young now, so you can easily learn it, and you don't have to go out. Isn't there a big lake in our house? Swim as you like."

Hearing that you can play in the water, the three children who were sleeping obediently jumped up and asked to learn to swim. They also had to prepare for "defending the family and the country".

Mu Yangling responded with a smile, and volunteered: "Mother will take you into the water tomorrow."

Let Arling go swimming in the lake?

Qi Haoran patted the bed to suppress them, bluffing: "You are still young, so you are not allowed to go." He glared at Mu Yangling, "You don't know how to water, and you don't have to fight in water, so what are you going to do in the water? Be honest with me. Stay home."

Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment and said, "Who said I can't swim?"

Now it's Qi Haoran's turn to stare, "There are few rivers, streams and lakes in the north, how can you know water?"

Mu Yangling then remembered that she had never learned to swim in this life, she coughed lightly and said vaguely, "Isn't there a small river behind my house?"

"How many years ago was that, are you sure you can still swim now?"

Mu Yangling rolled his eyes and said, "Is it possible that tomorrow I will swim and show you that you will know?"

"No need," Qi Haoran glanced at his sons, bit her ear and said, "You should just swim in the bathroom and show him."

Mu Yangling's face turned red in a flash, and he moved his feet. In the end, he still didn't kick Qi Haoran, who was smiling, out of the boat, but he glared at him, "If you don't launch me, you will be out tomorrow. Take the little bear and the three of them into the water, there are so many people in the house, there will always be water, choose a place with shallow water and sand and gravel underneath to practice."

The three sons all looked at Qi Haoran eagerly, but Qi Haoran, who has always loved children, was very determined this time. He would never take the twins into the water. These two boys were only over two years old, so how could he dare to bring them to the water? Go to the lake?

That is, he was forced to take the bear by their mother and son.

Xiaoxiong learned to swim with the passion of protecting the family and the country. He learned to swim after only half a morning, and Qi Haoran was supported by a guard who knew how to fetch water. It was really embarrassing, right?

At this time, looking at the three little Doudings who looked at him eagerly, Qi Haoran still gritted his teeth and insisted not to give them water.

The three children are children no matter how sensible they are. Seeing Qi Haoran's repeated refusal, they simply cried out with a "wow".

Qi Haoran saw Mu Yangling's face blushing, and quickly put on his coat while glaring at her fiercely.

Mu Yangling was inexplicable and didn't understand why Qi Haoran was staring at her, but she soon ran out of time to think about it, because the three children came running towards her.

After listening to the children's demands, Mu Yangling tried to communicate with Qi Haoran again, "Now the water you have chosen is not too deep, it only reaches your waist, isn't it? There are sand and rocks underneath that won't sink, so it is for the children. We will find three coaches, one-on-one practice, if you are still afraid of them having an accident, assign another coach to each person..."

"No," Qi Haoran said solemnly, "This water is too deep for the children, unless you can find water on this lake that only reaches their necks, or the Lord will never let them go into the water."

Mu Yangling puffed out his cheeks and stared at him angrily.
