Chapter 1686

"Smuggling overseas..."

Zhu Zhanji said unswervingly, "this matter should be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to deter those greedy people!"

"It's the poor!"

Fang Xing said helplessly, "if Mujian and others take it, they will take it, but the village depends on Chu Mao to go to sea to feed them. If you cut off their way of life, they can only flee. How many people die at sea every year because they want to escape to xiaoryukyu and Luzon?"

It's a life-threatening adventure to sneak overseas by boat in this age.

"They just want to live. Zhanji, you should reflect on why they can't live, not prohibit for the sake of prohibition. It's rigid and..."

"Why not eat minced meat!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded to show that he had been taught and said with sharp eyes: "the matter of Fujian will be solved sooner or later. Those occupied areas must be cleaned up and compete with the people for land..."

Fang Xing didn't want Zhu Zhanji to face up with those forces. He said, "since Fujian has little land, they'd better emigrate. They'd rather risk being buried in the belly of fish to go to sea. They must be willing to emigrate, move more and look at those people coldly."

The stern look in Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed and said, "let's wait."

The political disagreement between the prince and the emperor is a dangerous signal.

"You are very dangerous. You need to wait. Even if you wait for you, you can't achieve it overnight."

Fang Xing felt that Zhu Zhanji still considered state affairs too simple, just like Zhu gaochi, and finally realized it.

"I have an idea. See if you can!"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "the treasure ship can't go to sea for the time being. Even if it can go to sea, it can't maintain its existence in the West for a long time, so..."

Seeing Fang Xing's hesitation, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "brother Dehua, is there anything we can't say?"

Fang Xing raised his eyes and saw a smile and... Trust.

The prince has grown up and matured!

"Daming wants to maintain its presence at sea for a long time. I think... Daming will continue to expand its fleet in the future, and the resulting losses will be compensated from overseas."

Fang Xing spoke slowly. He frowned and was thinking slowly.

"The sea area within Sumatra must be completely controlled. Any foreign ships must get the permission of the Daming Navy before entering. Zhanji, this sea is the Daming sea, it must be!"

"Yes, it must be!"

Zhu Zhanji encouraged the way, and his eyes were bright.

Fang Xing said, "under the current situation, it is necessary to join civil forces to control and monitor the sea area. What do you think?"

If this word gets out, it is estimated that many people will say that Fang woke up and drank too much.

But Zhu Zhanji was pondering. For a long time, when Fang woke up and was disappointed, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "yes, since the ban is endless, we should make good use of the situation and attract some people for our own use."

……

But this is smuggling overseas, and the leader is the crown prince of Daming. If this leaks out, Fang Xing feels like an atomic bomb explosion, which will knock Daming out from top to bottom.

"Don't meddle in this matter. I'll deal with it. Even if it's a vent, I'll take the title at most..."

Zhu Zhanji has many things to do. He has to listen to and deal with the political affairs of the south every day. This is the right given to him by Zhu gaochi. Moreover, he summarized all the things about rectifying small officials in various places.

Fang woke up and looked at Wei Zhi, the official minister waiting outside the door. He got up and said, "just do it. I'll let Jia Quan follow up."

To let Jia Quan follow up on this matter is to let Zhu Zhanji grasp the meaning.

No matter how good the relationship is, it's better to be cautious in business.

……

"Mother, moon, I'm back."

Li Er came into the house with two ribs. His newly married daughter-in-law, Chen Shi, hurried out and asked sadly, "can you find a job today?"

"The second is back?"

Li Er's mother held the wall with her left hand and groped out with her right hand.

Chen hurried to help her. Li Er said, "I found it. I worked as a waiter in a rice shop. With my money and my previous money, our family can live a good life."

"Good, good! The second son works well. Yue'er can do some work at home. When he has children, the family will be complete."

Hearing his mother say this, Li Er said with a smile, "don't worry, mom. I have some savings here. I can't suffer a child."

When he was a pirate, he kept property on the outer island and Ningbo mansion. Some time ago, he went to a hiding place and took some gemstones to sell.

But in order to hide his eyes and ears, he found a job to avoid being watched.

It's just a pity that there's no place to exchange the gold and silver for treasure money and copper money.

After dinner, Chen accompanied her mother-in-law out for a walk and got to know her neighbors by the way.

Chen is satisfied with Li Er. They are both older unmarried, which is rare in this era. Li Er is not the kind of rough man who beats his daughter-in-law. Although her mother-in-law can't see, she is very charitable. She says she wants to find work every day, but she doesn't want to rest.

When she came back, Chen waited on her mother-in-law to wash and go to bed, and then went to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Li Er sat by the bed and looked dull under the light.

"Husband..."

Li Er looked up, oh, and pointed to his side.

Chen sat beside him and said, "my mother-in-law is very happy. She talked with those neighbors for a long time."

"It's hard for you."

"It's not hard. My mother-in-law is familiar with those neighbors. Those neighbors will talk when they have something to say."

Li Er took a paper bag from under the pillow and handed it to her. Chen opened it and looked at it. Ah, he subconsciously covered the paper bag.

"Husband, where did you get so much money?"

Chen said nervously, "husband, it's OK for me to have a hard life..."

"Where do you want to go?"

Li Er opened the paper bag, took out the treasure money inside and said softly, "this is the money I earned for my husband in those years. I won't hide it from you. When Mu Jane threatened to go to sea with her mother, I really wanted to kill his family... Fortunately, I met my uncle..."

After the two got married with the help of a matchmaker, Li Er did not hide his past, and Chen accepted it.

"Husband, you have suffered."

For this man, Chen gradually more admiration, just feel that no one cares about him these years is not a blessing.

"When you change these money into some copper money for daily use, remember not to reveal your wealth, so as not to be remembered."

……

Autumn has a pleasant climate. It's hot during the day, but it's cool sooner or later.

After tossing with his wife several times, when she fell asleep, Li Er crept out.

He first looked at his mother, then quietly climbed over the wall and left the house under the cover of night.

This is a new place. He must observe whether someone is staring at himself.

There are ordinary people in this area, but their family wealth is good, so the streets are neat.

Li Ershun walked slowly behind, looking around from time to time.

At the end of the street, he dodged a group of sergeants patrolling the street, and then boldly followed them and went home from the front.

When he arrived at his house, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to climb over the wall and enter the house, footsteps came behind him.

In an instant, Li Er pretended to be a thief passing through his house and ran forward.

Just after running a few steps, the footsteps behind him stopped. Li Er was desperate and thought that the other party was using a bow and arrow.

But behind him came a familiar voice of Li Er.

"Li Er!"

Li Er's body stiffened, then stopped and turned back slowly.

"My Lord."

Xin Laoqi stood at the door of his house and said in a deep voice, "what are you doing out in the evening?"

Li Er saw Fang Xing and the servants behind Xin Laoqi. He smiled bitterly and was ready to kneel down.

Fang woke up and frowned, "don't kneel. It's convenient for your family. Ben hasn't eaten yet."

Fang Xing doesn't want to go to the government office, but the inns are closed. If you want to go, you have to find the sergeant patrolling the city to take it with you.

Li Er knelt down and said in fear, "uncle, there are mother and daughter-in-law in the small family. The small one asked her daughter-in-law to cook."

"Yes, by the way, let your daughter-in-law know that you are not a bandit."

Fang woke up and joked, but Li Er knelt down with gratitude and said, "thank you, uncle."

Fang woke up. Unexpectedly, he valued this. His heart moved and said, "in that case... I'll show up in this street tomorrow."

Li Er immediately knew that Fang Xing was looking for him. He was afraid that there was something important to do. He quickly got up and opened the door.

The sergeant patrolling the city in front also heard the movement here, shouted to catch the thief and ran over.

"Old seven will deal with it and say I'm here."

Since Fang Xing wants to accept Li Er's heart, he will not be stingy with exposure.

Xin Laoqi stopped the sergeant patrolling the city, whispered a few words, and then took out something to show them. Suddenly, the sergeants knelt.

"This habit is not good."

Fang Xing feels that the habit of kneeling is really a headache.

When the emperor goes out, the people just bow down, but an uncle comes out and has to kneel. What nonsense is this?
