Chapter 1681 Replace the army with the people?
“Smuggling overseas…”
Zhu Zhanji said unswervingly: "This matter should be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to intimidate those greedy people!"
"It's a poor man!"
Fang Xing said helplessly: "If Mu Jian and others take it, they will take it, but the village relies on Chu Mao to go out to sea to support them. If you cut off their way, they can only escape. How many people die at sea every year because they want to escape to Xiao Liuqiu and Luzon?"
In this era, relying on small boats to smuggle overseas, it is really a risk.
"They are just for survival, Zhanji, you should reflect on why they can't survive, not forbidden, that's stiff and..."
"Why not eat minced meat!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said with a sharp look: "The Fu/Chinese affairs will be resolved sooner or later. Those places that occupy land must be cleaned up and compete with the people for land..."
Fang Xing didn't want Zhu Zhanji to face those forces and said, "Since Fujian is a small land, let's immigrate. They would rather go out to sea at the risk of burying themselves in the belly of fish. They would definitely be willing to immigrate, move more, and look at those people coldly."
A sharp look flashed in Zhu Zhanji's eyes and said, "Let's wait later."
The prince and the emperor have different political views, which is a dangerous signal.
"You are dangerous like this. You need to wait. Even if you wait for you, you can't do it overnight."
Fang Xing felt that Zhu Zhanji had considered state affairs too simply, just like Zhu Gaochi, and finally realized it.
"I have an idea, see if it's OK!"
Fang Xing thought about it and said, "The treasure ship cannot go to sea for the time being. Even if it can go to sea, it cannot be maintained in the West for a long time, so..."
Zhu Zhanji saw Fang Xing's hesitation and smiled and said, "Brother Dehua, is there anything we can't say?"
Fang Xing raised his eyes and saw a smile and... trust.
This prince has grown up and matured!
"The Ming Dynasty will maintain its existence at sea for a long time. I think... the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand its fleet in the future, and the resulting losses will be compensated from overseas."
Fang Xing spoke very slowly. He frowned and was thinking slowly.
"The seas within Sumatra must be fully controlled, and any foreign ship must be allowed by the Ming Navy before entering. Zhanji, this sea is the Ming sea, it must be!"
“Yes, it must be!”
Zhu Zhanji encouraged her and her eyes were bright.
Fang Xing said: "Under the current situation, people must join forces to control and monitor that sea area. What do you think?"
If this is said, many people will probably say that Fang Xing is drunk.
But Zhu Zhanji was pondering. After a long time, when Fang Xing was a little disappointed, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Yes, since we have been banned, we should take advantage of the situation and win over some people for our own use."
...
But this is smuggling overseas, and the leader is actually the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. If this is leaked, Fang Xing feels like an atomic bomb explosion that will make the Ming Dynasty faint from top to bottom.
"Don't interfere in this matter, I'll do it. Even if it's a leak, at most you will get a title..."
Zhu Zhanji had a lot of things to do. He had to listen to and deal with political affairs in the south every day, which was the right given to him by Zhu Gaochi. Moreover, the matters about rectifying minor officials in various places were summarized by him.
Fang Xing looked at Wei Zhi, the Minister of Personnel waiting outside the door, and stood up and said, "Just do it like this, I will let Jia Quan follow up."
Let Jia Quan follow up on this matter, which is what Zhu Zhanji wants to master.
No matter how good the relationship is, you should be more cautious in business.
...
"Mom, Yue'er, I'm back."
Li Er brought two ribs into the house. His newly married wife Chen quickly came out and asked with some grief: "Can you find a living today?"
"The second child is back?"
Li Er's mother held the wall with her left hand and groped out with her right hand.
Chen quickly went over to help her. Li Er said, "I found it and worked as a mate in a rice shop. The money I earned, plus my previous money, our family can live a good life."
"Okay, okay! The second brother works hard, Yue'er can do some work at home. When she has a child, the family will be perfect."
When Li Er heard his mother say this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom, I have some savings and I can't make the child suffer."
When he was a pirate, he had his property stored on both the outer island and Ningbo Prefecture. Some time ago, he went to the hiding place and took some gems and sold them.
But in order to cover up, he still went to find a job to avoid being targeted.
It’s just a pity that the gold and silver are not available for treasure money or copper coins even if they are taken out.
After dinner, Chen accompanied her mother-in-law to take a walk and got to know her neighbors.
He was satisfied with Li Er and Chen. Both of them were unmarried at an age, which was rare in this era. Li Er was not the kind of rough man who beat his wife. Although the mother-in-law couldn't see him, he was very charitable. He said he wanted to find work every day, but he refused to rest.
After returning, Chen served her mother-in-law to wash and go to bed, and then went to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Li Er sat beside the bed, looking a little dazed under the light.
"Husband..."
Li Er looked up, said oh, and pointed at his side.
Chen sat beside him and said, "Mother-in-law is very happy. She has been chatting with the neighbors for a long time."
"Thanks a lot."
"It's not hard work. My mother-in-law gets familiar with those neighbors in a short time. Those neighbors say they have something to do in the future."
Li Er took out a paper bag from under the pillow and handed it to her. Chen opened it and glanced at it. With a whisper, he subconsciously covered the paper bag.
"Husband, where do you get that much money?"
Chen said nervously: "Husband, life is harder for me..."
"Where do you want to go?"
Li Er opened the paper bag, took out the treasure money inside, and said lightly: "This is the money I earned for my husband back then. I won't hide it from you. When Mu Jian threatened to go to sea with his mother, I really wanted to kill his family... Fortunately, I met Mr. Wang..."
After the two got married under the matchmaker, Li Er did not hide his past, and Chen accepted it calmly.
"Husband, you have suffered."
Chen gradually became more admirable to this man, and he felt that it was a blessing that no one cared about for the past few years.
"When will you exchange these money for copper coins to come back for daily use? Remember not to reveal your wealth, so as not to be missed."
...
The climate in autumn is pleasant, hot during the day, but cool in the morning and evening.
After struggling with his wife for a few times, when she fell asleep, Li Er tiptoed out.
He looked at his mother first, and then quietly climbed over the wall and left the house under the cover of night.
This is a new place, and he has to observe whether someone is staring at him.
This area is full of ordinary families, but the family background is pretty good, so the streets look neat.
Li Er walked slowly along the back, looking around from time to time.
When he reached the end of the street, he avoided a group of soldiers patrolling the streets, and then boldly followed them and returned home from the front.
When he arrived in front of his house, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to climb over the wall and enter the house, footsteps came from behind him.
In an instant, Li Er pretended to be a thief passing by the house and ran forward.
As soon as he ran 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, a familiar voice came a little familiar to Li Er.
"Li Er!"
Li Er's body stiffened, then stopped and slowly turned around.
"grown ups."
Xin Laoqi stood at the door of his house and said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do when you are late at night?"
Li Er saw Fang Xing and his servants behind Xin Laoqi, and smiled bitterly and was about to kneel down.
Fang Xing was covered in dust and frowned and said, "Don't kneel down, your house is convenient, I haven't eaten yet."
Fang Xing didn't want to go to the government office, but the inn was closed. If you want to go, you have to find the soldiers patrolling the city to take them.
Li Er knelt down and said in panic: "Brother, my mother and daughter-in-law are the only ones in the young family. The young man asked his wife to get up and cook."
"Yes, let your wife know that you are not a bandit."
Fang Xing joked, but Li Er knelt down with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. Uncle."
Fang Xing didn't expect that he actually valued this, and he moved slightly and said, "Since that's the case... I'll show off on this street tomorrow."
Li Er instantly knew that Fang Xing was afraid that there was something big to do when he was looking for him, so he quickly got up and opened the door.
The patrol soldiers in front also heard the movement here, shouted and caught the thief and ran over.
"Lao Qi went to deal with it and said I was here."
Since Fang Xing wanted to win Li Er's heart, he would naturally not be stingy with exposure.
Xin Laoqi went over to stop the patrol soldiers, whispered a few words, then took out the things to show them, and the soldiers immediately knelt down.
“This habit is not good.”
Fang Xing felt that the habit of kneeling down at any time was really a headache.
When the emperor went out, the people just bowed and bowed, but a uncle came out and had to kneel down. What's the bullshit?
