Chapter 557: Going out to sea to suppress thieves

When we welcome my father-in-law into the yamen hall, we must ask about Bianjing. The father-in-law said justice: "Don't worry, there is an official in Bianjing there, so who dares to pick the prince's fault? Cui Zhi is also dead. In the current situation, Eunuch Yang told him when he was leaving the family, that Lord Shen would let go of his hands in Quanzhou."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "That's easy to say, I am going to do a big fight!"

After saying that, Chen Ao invited the father-in-law to rest, and immediately recruited people. When everyone heard that the imperial envoy had been granted the title of the prince, they came to congratulate him. Those who were in the world these days had to find a big tree to rely on. The imperial envoy was reliable. After killing so many people, they thought the court would issue an order to rectify it. Who knew that a prince had given a reward. Behind the decree was a kind of jealous trust. Many people muttered to themselves that this was the real Jian Zai Emperor's heart.

The merchants who were invited here were really honored. Ordinary people would have a great time to meet the imperial envoy, and it would be difficult for the princes and princesses to meet with each other. The princes of Penglai invited him to discuss matters. He didn't think anything before. At that time, he was just a duke and the current situation was unclear. I don't know what the imperial envoy would end up making trouble here. But now it's different. There were only a few princes of the Song Dynasty who had their fingers, and most of them were surnamed Zhao. Such a person who was above the one person and above asked him to discuss matters was a huge face, and it was enough to brag about him for a while when he was old.

All the officials of Quanzhou, the navy, the wing army, the generals of the militia, and the merchants named in Quanzhou City were gathered together today, and hundreds of people moved stools and sat down. The prince of Penglai had not yet arrived, and he didn't know what to discuss. Some people speculated that they were going to go out to sea to suppress the thieves, while others thought it was a matter of Quanzhou's new policy, and they were different.

At this moment, a lieutenant outside said, "The Prince of Penglai is here."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone stood up. The first person to stand up was the general and the captain inside. He suddenly stood up and looked out the threshold with his chest. When the merchants saw someone standing up, they had no reason to sit, they moved one by one.

This time the enfeoffment was not carried out according to the laws of the court. Originally, the disciples drafted the decree and sent it to the Zongling Mansion to verify. After that, the decree was issued, and the prince's python robe, jade belt and jade fish bag were given together.

However, this decree was issued from the decree and directly bypassed the disciples. The Zong Ling Mansion seemed a little hasty. Chen Ao still wore a purple-clothed and a Jinxian crown. The people inside saluted continuously and said, "I have seen the prince."

Chen Ao heard these words and wanted to smile pridefully, but couldn't smile. He held it in his heart, and he had to look calm and calm, and not surprised by honor and disgrace, otherwise it would be inconsistent with the image written in his diary. So just a smile is still very reserved, and his stingy teeth are unwilling to be exposed. He still thought to himself: "I will add a sentence in the diary later: "I heard the congratulations everywhere, and I felt sad. I thought about the mediocre people and felt deeply moved. I sighed: I will worry about the world before I worry about the joy of the world, and then I am happy about the joy of the world. How can I be happy alone? Why do I be happy? Alas, I am happy alone and the people are sad, this is the joy of the villain."

After finishing the draft, Chen Ao suddenly felt that he was a little bigger, but he nodded and slowly looked for the first person to sit down. He was silent for a moment, with a little bit of a trick, and finally raised his head and said, "I'm asking everyone to come today to suppress the thieves. If the pirates are not eliminated for a day, the Quanzhou merchant ships will not be able to get out of the sea. If this continues, not only will the court suffer huge losses, but even the merchants present will not be able to support it."

Chen Ao was straightforward, and the merchants below also cooperated to complain: "What the adults said is that summer is coming soon. If you don't go to sea, it will be delayed for half a year. If you delay any longer, you will be idle and you will not know when you will wait."

Chen Aohe said, "That's the reason, you can't delay it anymore. You just don't know how the navy and militia are preparing?"

Zhou Chu said: "Sir, you have almost prepared. The sailors in Quanzhou don't have to practice. They are begging for food in the sea. The morale of the navy is high, so you can wait for the order from the adults."

Chen Ao's face became solemn: "Since that's the case, I will go to sea tomorrow. I will issue my reward tonight. I will seize a pirate ship, reward a thousand guan, kill one robber, and reward ten guan. Money is not a problem. As long as I am willing to use my life to protect you from wealth. In addition, let someone release the news, and I will clarify the maritime affairs and eliminate the evil ones. Those who are willing to surrender will not blame them. But if I dare to resist stubbornly, I will never tolerate them and will be killed without mercy."

"And... Immediately find out the origin of the pirates, control their families first, and tell them not to surrender, the three tribes of Yi!" He sneered and said, "If anyone thinks that I dare not kill people, ask them to try it. Kill 1,700, and I don't care about killing another 1,700 more."

This sentence is heartbreaking, and everyone thought to myself that it would be a waste of life to believe that the Prince of Penglai would not dare to kill people at this time.

After the news was released, the entire Quanzhou instantly became a military port. Forty or fifty thousand people were ready to go out to sea to suppress the thieves. The reward given by the prince was also high enough. In Quanzhou, this place is different from other places. As long as you can afford money and dare to work hard, there are people who are there, especially those who make a living in the sea. None of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Without this courage, you can't win this job.

In the early morning of the next day, morning mist rippled over the sea, several harbors and dozens of piers, and ships carried sailors and warriors holding bows, arrows, swords and guns to the sea. It was vast and thousands of ships of all sizes were magnificent.

Chen Ao was drinking morning tea at Wangyuan Tower, watching the sails that were leaving farther away, with no expression on his face. He didn't understand the sea battle, and he didn't need to understand it. He only knew that he had money. If he threw it down with money, someone would work hard, give people food and clothing, and someone dared to put his head on his belt.

Sitting beside Shen Ao was Wu Saner. Wu Saner took a break from her busy schedule and accompanied Chen Ao to have some breakfast here. The Wangyuan Building had been rented out by Wu Saner, repaired and renovated into a teahouse. Wu Saner secretly glanced at Chen Ao and felt that this elder brother Shen was different from the elder brother Shen in the past. Although Brother Shen was always so confident in the past, now, in addition to being confident, he has a terrifying demeanor. This temperament, combined with his identity, made Wu Saner more respectful to Chen Ao in addition to being close to him.

"San'er, do you still remember when we were doing business? I remembered that if we hadn't cheated on money, we might have been paupers now." Chen Ao said that, and couldn't help but smile. There was no need to disguise in front of Wu San'er. Anyway, his conversation with Wu San'er would definitely not be written into the log.

Wu Saner smiled and said, "It's true that I have no way out. Brother Shen is a dragon among the humans. Sooner or later, I will have a day to stand out."

Chen Ao just smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Hey, you are much more restrained now than before. How is the business in Quanzhou?"

Wu Saner said: "They have been arranged roughly. We have a lot of money left. As long as we are willing to pay, the teahouse and the winery can be opened in a few days." He hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that the profits of the sea trade are large, so why don't we set up a fleet? Anyway, the money is also stored. There are still 700,000 guan in the teahouse to call in Bianjing."

Chen Ao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, anyone can do this business, but we can't do it; if you do it, it will definitely cause criticism. In the past, when you didn't have money, you thought about making money every day, but now you have money, you should know how to stop. Now the most important thing is to expand the influence of Suiya Weekly. There are strongholds everywhere now, but there is only one missing on the side of Chengdu Mansion Road, so this matter cannot be delayed."

Wu Saner nodded and said, "I'll listen to Brother Shen."

Over the years, Wu Saner has become much more vicissitudes. Her business has grown bigger and she understands things better than before. She doesn't say anything anymore. She ate a piece of pastry and said, "Brother Shen is here, I'll take care of you below."

Chen Ao nodded, had morning tea here, then came out of Wangyuan Tower, rode his horse and took his personal guards to the beach for a while, and then returned to the city. At this time, the entire Quanzhou was full of solemnity. Not only the fleet of officials and merchants, but also some small-scale ship owners would also bring some fellow villagers to sea. Maybe they could find some lonely pirates to get some rewards.

As for Quanzhou's defense and ban, they were all handed over to the Xiangjun side. All the generals and senators of the Xiangjun were removed and replaced by the naval lieutenant, so they gradually became firmly controlled by Shen Ao. Because today is the day to go out to sea, the prevention and ban in the entire Quanzhou city was naturally a little tighter, with three steps and five steps, and there were Xiangjun carrying guns everywhere.

The market gradually became more lively, and endless hawking sounds came. Chen Ao rushed over with great enthusiasm, thinking whether he should buy some rouge and water powder for his wife and ask someone to mail it. It is said that Quanzhou's pearl powder is well-known all over the world, so you can buy more.

But he was also hesitating in his heart. Is it a shame to buy women's things a big man or a noble prince? How should I write a diary at night? It's hard to explain! In the end, the thickness of my face defeated reason, and he cursed in his heart: "I buy it if I want, and let them say whatever they want."

As soon as I arrived at the market, there was a fierce quarrel, and there was a *** shouting: "I've hit someone, I've hit someone..."

Before Chen Ao could react, the guards behind suddenly became nervous and drew their swords to look around. Several strongly carried two large shields and appeared in front of Shen Ao's left and right wings. Dozens of people instantly wrapped Chen Ao so that they were airtight.

Chen Ao was bold and said, "What are you doing so tightly? Ask someone to see what happened."

A lieutenant drew his sword and instantly someone was separated from him. The two men grabbed each other's clothes and said, "The prince is here just right. You dare to hit someone and let the prince decide."

Another foolishly said: "You are talking nonsense yourself, so what if you hit you?"

The lieutenant behind him kicked them and said sternly: "What are you talking nonsense? Why don't you pay homage to the prince?"

At this time, many people couldn't help but come over and watched with interest. Some wanted to see what the prince looked like, and some wanted to see if the two of them could fight. In just a moment, the water was scattered here. Someone looked at Chen Ao in surprise and said, "So the prince is so young."

Someone else said, "He doesn't look like a vicious person either."

In just a short period of time, the entire street was blocked and crowded.

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, is it interesting to watch? Is it interesting? You will die if you don't watch the excitement. Then he thought that if you encountered something on the street in your previous life, you would often be a spectator with great enthusiasm, so you won't say anything anymore. Even the art thieves can't change this problem, let alone others?

Thinking of this, Chen Ao raised his face and waited for the two fools to salute him, and then said loudly: "I'm so brave, I won't talk about fighting in the street. I dare to be arrogant when I come to this king. Do you know the crime?"

When the two heard this, they called injustice together, and said, "Prince, the villain is really wronged. The villain just had a few quarrels with this man, and this man beats people up. The villain was so angry that he collided with the prince."

Another said: "No, it's obviously him talking nonsense, but I was so angry that I beat him."
