Early the next morning, Ye Chunqiu returned from Tianjin and couldn't help but go to Zhenguo New Army camp. The training in Zhenguo New Army camp was in full swing, especially the navy personnel, who have now changed into majestic giant shark suits.

Of course, on land, perhaps these guys are majestic and have neat military appearances, but Ye Chunqiu could imagine that when they really got on the boat, they would become a group of ragged "beggars".

The sailors of the Folangji and the navy personnel were in harmony and began to see some results. The knowledge of night classes was no longer just language. The Folangji people had already begun to teach some knowledge of navigation. Of course, now it is roughly some basic common sense, how to distinguish wind directions, how to distinguish directions through compass, how to identify warm currents, how to avoid reefs, as well as possible diseases on board, and skills of combat on board.

The navy personnel listened very seriously. After all, most of the scholars of this era have studied hard by studying the Four Books and Five Classics. They have all had the energy to study hard. There are not many temptations in this era. Learning is better than going to the fields to do farm work. Naturally, they are willing to work hard in learning marine knowledge.

In addition to these, we also need to learn things like mountains, rivers, sea charts, etc., which are nothing more than to let them understand the general geographical concepts, such as the earth being round.

No one brought them too much ideological impact. In Florence, the earth is round, or heliocentric, what is subverted is the divine power, which is to break the theoretical foundation that has been rooted in the church for thousands of years, so the so-called ideological subversion occurs.

In the Ming Dynasty, our concept was roughly the sky was round and the place. As for the sun around the earth, or the earth around the sun, it would not breed too many emotions except to give people a sense of freshness.

Ye Chunqiu was quite pleased with the progress of the navy. This was the benefit of recruiting elites. He had strong learning ability and extraordinary understanding ability. He tried every means to maintain the image of the new army in Zhenguo and establish a concept that the new army in Zhenguo was only expensive, in order to recruit such elites into the camp.

At this time, most of the sailors of Folangji were the people at the bottom. At this point, the Zhenguo Mansion Navy had a great advantage, and knowledge was power! Even though they had only learned the Four Books and Five Classics in the past, their ability to accept and understand through learning is extraordinary, which is so high that it is more advanced than ordinary illiterate.

After wandering around the Zhenguo New Army camp, there was nothing special to him to deal with, so he returned to Ye's mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, the door saw Ye Chunqiu back and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mr. Lu from the Ministry of Revenue is here to pay a visit today. He and Mr. Lu are fellow townsmen. The old lady is feeling unwell today, so the second master went to meet guests."

The second master is naturally Ye Song.

Ye Chunqiu frowned and headed towards the main hall. Outside the main hall, he heard Ye Song and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue Lu Wenjie in the inside.

Ye Chunqiu had only heard of Lu Wenjie and was not familiar with it, but he didn't know why he visited him.

When Ye Chunqiu came, Ye Song first stood up and introduced: "This is Mr. Lu of the Lu family in Yin County, I..."

"Second uncle, I'm working hard." Ye Chunqiu smiled and looked at Lu Wenjie.

Lu Wenjie also stood up quickly and said with a smile on his face: "I was still saying just now that our Ningbo has produced a Junjie, which is amazing, haha..."

Seeing that he was very attentive in his words and deeds, Ye Chunqiu calculated that this person was both a fellow villager and a senior, so he smiled and greeted Lu Wenjie.

During the conversation, Lu Wenjie couldn't help but ask about the trade license. Ye Chunqiu also said casually. Seeing that it was getting late, the Minister Lu said, "It's not too early. We are fellow villagers. We should be close to each other since we are very close. No matter what, we will have to go to the mansion to have a glass of water and wine the next day."

Ye Chunqiu did not respond in a hurry, but said, "If you have time, you will definitely visit me."

Lu Wenjie laughed and said, "The Duke of Zhenguo is willing to appreciate the glory, and Lu's penis will shine."

When Lu Wenjie left, Ye Chunqiu put away the smile on his face and looked a little cold.

He doesn't trust Ye Song very much. It's okay to keep him at home, but it doesn't mean he can be responsible for the welcome and sending him off.

At this moment, Ye Song looked ashamed and looked at Ye Chunqiu, and said aiqiai: "It's your eldest father... he is not feeling well..."

Ye Chunqiu said lightly: "Well, I understand, second uncle, go and rest."

Ye Song had to prepare to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "This surname is not simple."

"Hmm?" Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Song and couldn't help but say, "What does the second uncle know?"

Ye Song said: "As soon as he came, he asked where the Chunqiu went. I said he should be practicing a navy, and he talked about trade, and I dare not take it. After all, I don't understand these things. Moreover, he is from Yin County, I heard... I heard that the Lu family is in Ningbo and is doing big business."

The meaning of big deals is that Ningbo people generally know a little. How can ordinary transactions be called big deals? The real big deal is nothing more than a huge profit industry, and in Ningbo, the real huge profits are smuggling.

Because the imperial court banned the sea and the Ming Dynasty's specialties could not be transported, it caused a shortage of overseas commodities. Even the Ming Dynasty's porcelain plates, such unworthy goods, were equivalent to works of art in Japan, South China, and even later the Folang machine. In history, Europeans used Oriental porcelain, even just bowls and chopsticks as decorations at home for a long time, and were mostly among the nobles, and it was very popular. A small meal-making thing became the best decoration, which was similar to the effect of placing jade bis by ancestors in the hall, which was enough to show how expensive porcelain and silk items were after they went out of the sea.

As far as Ye Chunqiu knows, if a porcelain is sold for one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty and is sold to Japan, it will be more than fifty taels. If it is in Southeast Asia or other remote places, it will be even more valuable. Even if it is one hundred taels, it is not impossible.

Ye Chunqiu has lived in Ningbo for quite some time, so why hasn’t these things been heard of?

In fact, the most powerful oppositions to the Ming Dynasty were the aristocratic families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Because once the sea ban was opened, ordinary merchants and even the people could go to sea, it meant that a large amount of silk and porcelain could be sent to foreign vassals continuously, which would definitely cause a price plummeting.
