Chapter 1680 The old land, please sin (thanks: the second leader of the wind and sand dance
Fang Xing felt that his group was too imposing, and probably couldn't tell the truth. But Zhu Zhanji rarely came out once, so he would accompany him to a show.
Sure enough, the old man glanced at the guards outside, squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, Your Highness is wise and powerful. Now those minor officials are all good, and you are polite in your work."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned. He knew that there was no such good thing. Even if those little officials dared not show off their power, they were polite...
What is kind?
I guess they don’t have this word in their minds!
Zhu Zhanji smiled, then asked about the situation at the old man's house, and of course he didn't get the truth, and finally left in depression.
After leaving Yuxia Village, Fang Xing saw Zhu Zhanji a little depressed and said, "I brought Wanwan here to relax, but I met an assassin that day. I remember it was drizzling, and the sky was like blue and white porcelain..."
Zhu Zhanji remembered what happened back then, his expression calmed down a little, and said, "I remember that for... the emperor did not agree, so I went to the tavern to drink..."
Fang Xing's throat surged.
The roundworm spit out by the owner of the tavern left a deep impression on him.
"Your Highness, let's go back."
Jia Quan was worried after all, so he persuaded him.
Zhu Zhanji was like a stream of good deeds. Fang Xing separated from him halfway and took his servants to wander around the city. Finally, he arrived at the alley.
The sewage in the alley was probably treated and stone slabs were laid. Fang Xing praised: "The housing prices here should have risen, right?"
After entering the alley and finding the tavern, Fang Xing saw the boss.
"Are you here to have a meal? Please, please."
The shop is completely refreshed, and the tables and chairs that are originally dirty are not visible in the original color.
Fang Xing walked in and said casually: "Do you have peanuts?"
"have."
"Give me a plate, fried and fried, and then a pot of wine."
Fang Xing remembered the pig intestine that Zhu Zhanji ate last time, and added: "Don't fry it, you need to fry it."
The boss didn't dislike the small business, so he cooked it himself for a while, and then brought it up.
After throwing a red-skinned peanut into his mouth, Fang Xing frowned and said, "It's too dry... Hey! It tastes different!"
Fang Xing nodded with satisfaction, and the boss went out with satisfaction, not afraid that Fang Xing would steal his stuff.
Fang Xing looked at Xin Laoqi and others outside the door and knew that this guy was going out to brag.
——Look! Look! You said my food is not good, even noble people come to eat today!
Fang Xing smiled slightly, but didn't mind.
After throwing a peanut into his mouth, savoring it, and then taking a sip of wine, Fang Xing felt that it would be good to live such a life by himself when the potatoes and the others grew up.
At this time, someone came in outside, but Xin Laoqi and the others did not stop him.
"I've met Mr. Bo."
Xu Qing bowed, Fang Xing pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down, if you want to eat, I will ask the owner of the store to come back to cook."
Xu Qing looked at this little door face, then saw that there was only a plate of peanuts in front of Fang Xing, and then said quickly: "My uncle is slow to use, but I have eaten it."
This is disgusting!
Fang Xing doesn’t mind, everyone has their own standards, and he cannot impose them on others.
"How is the check?"
Fang Xing asked.
Xu Qing whispered: "I found Ningbo Mansion based on the shipping place, but you can take a step first. Later, I continued to check and found that someone was shipping it, which was spice."
Fang Xing chewed the peanuts, drank a sip of wine, and looked outside the door with a faint look.
Xu Qing then realized that he had been insincerely kept his word, so he quickly said, "I asked someone to touch him, but found out that he was from Fujian. However, this man stopped after Mu Jian was arrested and even the boat was burned."
"Decisive enough!"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's a pity that such people don't go into politics."
Xu Qing asked, "Master, do you want to continue staring at this person?"
Fang Xing shook his head: "No need, it's enough to have Mu Jian as a raft. There are many mountains in Fujian, and there are countless people who take risks to go into the sea. Most of them go to Luzon and Xiaoliuqiu and other places... This kind of adventurous spirit does not need to be suppressed. After the treasure ship goes into the sea again, such things will naturally be cut off."
Private trade is not easy to start at present, so we have to wait until the Ming Dynasty opens its arms to the sea and controls all routes.
"The man is called Chu Mao, Bo Ye. I guess he noticed the investigation below..."
Xu Qing left, and his business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he even sold it outside the border.
The city is being built on Xinghe Fort, and the speed is slow. Building a city requires countless supplies, including food.
Some people in the court said that this was a waste of money and food, but what Fang Xing saw was a boost to demand.
After the city was built, the Ming Dynasty had a solid stronghold outside the Great Wall, with this as the center, surrounded by the Ming Dynasty's pastures and fields.
Without cities, there will be no people. This is determined by the current situation outside the border and the habits of the Han people.
At this time, the sound of servants intercepting him came from outside. Fang Xing frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The outside immediately became quiet, and later Xin Laoqi came in and said, "Master, that person said he was here to apologize."
Fang Xing thought about it, but he didn't expect who it was, so he said, "Let him come in."
Later, a thin black man walked in and knelt on the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the door.
"Who are you?"
"Little Chu Mao..."
"interesting!"
Fang Xing looked at Chu Mao and found that his hands were very rough and his body was not wearing good materials.
"What are your crimes? Why don't you surrender to the government?"
Xin Laoqi stood behind Chu Mao, holding the hilt in his hand. He could chop him up with just a hint, or if Chu Mao suddenly burst out.
"Brother, the young man who smuggled overseas is unforgivable."
After Chu Mao finished speaking, the lobby was quiet, with only Fang Xing chewing peanuts.
"Red skin should not be peeled, it is healthy to eat skin."
Fang Xing clapped his hands and stood up and said, "You and Benbrew."
After walking out of the door, Fang Xing saw the boss bragging to someone under the eaves opposite, so he asked someone to go to check the bill, and then he and Chu Mao walked out one after another.
"Why do you smuggle overseas?"
"The little family is poor, and the village is poor, and there is no way to live..."
The weather was a little hot, so I woke up and walked to a big tree to hide. Chu Mao did not dare to go in and stood by the shade of the tree, with Xin Laoqi and Xiaodao behind him.
"The little one knew that the big thing was going on, so after... I found out that the shopkeeper Xu was a man from Uncle, the little one knew... but the little one did not go out to sea to escape, and only begged the uncle to let the people in the village go, and the little one was willing to commit suicide."
"So fraternity?"
Fang Xing looked at his eyes and found that they were all determined. He moved his heart and asked, "Why should we protect the people in the village?"
Chu Mao bowed his head and said, "Brother, when I was a child, my family was poor, and I relied on the help of the villagers. So... Later, after I went to sea, I... helped me make up for it."
Fang Xing smiled and felt that Chinese characters are so profound that they have different meanings if they change the word.
"But all a village has participated in smuggling to sea?"
Chu Mao's legs became weak, and Xin Laoqi shouted: "This is outside, don't kneel!"
After saying that, he pointed at the shops, and the servants immediately stared at the shops.
Chu Mao held on and said, "Yes, it's just that the main culprit is small, and the villagers are just helping with loading and unloading..."
Fang Xing looked at Chu Mao with interest, feeling that this guy had some prototypes of the Zheng family in the future.
Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong was also embarrassed when he was young. Later, he went overseas to do business, which accumulated experience and capital. Later, he gradually became a businessman and pirate with Li Dan, and finally became a stubborn man.
"How many people are doing your job over there?"
Fujian and Jianshe are all over the coast, and the sea is prohibited. Unless it is done by using the method of forcing the Manqing to migrate forcibly and burning down the homeland in the future, it will definitely be prohibited and endless.
Chu Mao was cold in his heart and said, "Brother, I have encountered more than ten batches of people at sea..."
"Didn't you find out from the Old Port?"
Shi Jinqing should be worried about the Ming Dynasty's maritime policy now, and probably has no intention of cracking down on these smuggling merchants.
Chu Mao said honestly: "I found it, but they looked lazy and gave it some benefits."
Fang Xing sighed slightly: The treasure ship was only postponed for a year and did not go to sea, and the reactions of all parties were disappointing.
