Ye Chunqiu looked straight at Liu Daxia, but was disappointed and could not see any of Liu Daxia's mentality. Finally, he said: "Mr. Liu, the sea charts of Zheng He's voyage to the West, information from various countries, and many arts of shipbuilding were burned by Mr. Liu?"

Liu Daxia burned the nautical charts and a lot of shipbuilding information in one fell swoop, as well as all the information when Zheng He went to the West.

These precious materials were obtained through countless manpower and material resources.

In fact, Liu Daxia said in a serious way that voyage to the West was just a waste of money and food, but during the Yongle period, was it really voyage to voyage to the West? This may not be the case. The taxes of the people at that time did not increase, but the money and food in the treasury did not decrease. Not only that, the treasury at that time also built the city of Beijing, and began to compile the "Yongle Encyclopedia", as well as the use of troops to the Northern Yuan and Annan at that time.

In other words, during Emperor Wen's dynasty, voyage to the West was just one of the things. Emperor Wen did many big things, and you would say that you were spending money and food in every thing. Why did it become a disrepair when you voyage to the West?

The burning of these materials is almost the same as the later emperors who wanted to go to the West again, even if they wanted to go to the West, they no longer had the experience of their predecessors and had to start over. This led to the increasing severity of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy. Because the court did not have enough ships, the first idea of ​​the court was that the people could not have it, otherwise the people could go to the sea at will, and the court did not have enough maritime power to maintain the coast. This would cause many refugees to become more and more civilians to escape on the islands and avoid the court's attacks.

Because the court had lost information from the Western countries, the court had begun to be ignorant of the Western countries, relying on some understanding of rumors. This lost the willingness to continue communication, so it simply closed the door and banned everything else.

Losing experience in shipbuilding means that the court wants to rebuild a fleet of voyages to the West, which will be even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. So when faced with such difficulties, I can't help but think, forget it, it's too troublesome, it's better to keep the door closed and entertain yourself.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Liu Daxia. Liu Daxia had already enjoyed a greater reputation. He was still sitting quietly behind the desk, looking calm, and even had a faint smile on his face.

Ye Chunqiu even maliciously thought that Liu Daxia was not an ordinary Qingliu official. If he was just a Qingliu official, he might be brainless and short-sighted.

But Liu Daxia was the governor of Guangdong and Zhejiang, which was equivalent to being a rank-level official in the coastal provinces. In addition, he also worked in military positions. How could a person who led troops to fight wars and served as a local official be so "willful and humble"? This is obviously a bit unreasonable!

If Deng Jian did such a thing, Ye Chunqiu believed that because Deng Jian was a stubborn person and was stubborn, but this person was Liu Daxia, Ye Chunqiu would be unable to believe it...

At this time, Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and stared at Liu Daxia directly. After hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, Liu Daxia not only calmly but also continued to savor tea without even replying to a few words.

Ye Chunqiu did not show his joy or anger, but continued, "In fact, the reason for burning these was just to protect some people, right? Since Liu Taibao was the governor of Zhejiang, he would definitely know that Zhejiang had been suffering from the Japanese suffering. If there were information on shipbuilding at that time, the Ming Dynasty's Japanese guards could be able to build ships that looked like when they voyage to the West, why fear the mere Japanese pirates? Thinking about the past, during the Yongle period, which Japanese pirate dared to commit rash things? You were not afraid of voyage to the West for money and food, but because once the court had ships to the West, from then on, the private merchant ships would not be as if they were in a no-man. Liu Gong must have colluded with many local tyrants when he was appointed as governor of Zhejiang. After that, Liu Taibao burned the nautical chart to protect them."

Liu Daxia lowered her head, took a sip of tea, but still just smiled.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Liu Daxia like this, but she was not angry. She was still patient. Instead, she remembered something again, so she slowly said: "I heard that Zhang Cai and Liu Taibao had a rift at the time, and she ran to find Liu Jin with Jiao Fang, saying that if she had confiscated Liu Taibao's home, she would have received two-tenths of the border fee. As a result, Liu Taibao was convicted, but they had nothing to gain. This incident was widely circulated in Beijing, and I guess it was nothing wrong."

This incident was originally a highlight of Liu Daxia. After Liu Jin sent someone to search Liu Daxia's mansion, he found nothing. So everyone thought that Liu Daxia was honest and praised him.

But when Ye Chunqiu thinks about it now, he feels something is wrong with this.

How is something wrong?

Neither Zhang Cai nor Jiao Fang are fools. It can be said that it is easy for them to find Liu Daxia's fault. Moreover, with Liu Jin's ability to turn black and white, he is afraid that he will not be able to punish you Liu Daxia to death?

However, Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang said something sensational. As long as they confiscate Liu Daxia's home, they can get one or two in the side fees. So Liu Jin was moved and he took action.

But afterwards, there was nothing to gain, which was obviously a problem. A few years ago, Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang flattered Liu Jin, how dare they deceive Liu Jin? Because this lie is too easy to be exposed. Don’t Zhang Cai and Jiao Fang worry that Liu Jin thinks they are unreliable?

But they still used this reason, believing that Liu Daxia's family had huge wealth. Since that's the case, it was obvious that these two must be sure.

But Liu Jin was very upset, finding nothing.

Then it is impossible to rule out that Liu Daxia does have a gold medal at home, but a person like Liu Daxia must be cautious in everything and knows that he has a bad relationship with Liu Jin. He thinks that Liu Jin will do something to him sooner or later, so these property has been transferred by him. If it were someone else, it might not be easy to transfer huge amounts of property, but if there is a private business group behind Liu Daxia, it would be much easier.

If you confiscate a family, you can make up for the military expenditure of the millions of troops on the nine sides. This sentence is really sensational, but now Ye Chunqiu believes it, and it won’t be possible if he doesn’t believe it.

Faced with Ye Chunqiu's repeated questions, Liu Daxia was still very leisurely. He put down the teacup in his hand and finally said with a smile: "It's indeed wonderful. Duke Zhenguo is indeed worthy of being eloquent. Unfortunately, my husband's family is barely all over the walls. If he doesn't believe it, Duke Zhenguo can ask someone to search."

Lu Wenjie, who was standing beside him, also shouted angrily: "Hmph, Duke Zhenguo, have you said enough? Who is Duke Liu? This is a gentleman known to the world. Do you still want to imitate Liu Jin and point a deer as a horse, and turn black and white into black? Hey... If you really want to learn from Liu Jin, you might as well give it a try."
