Sun Mine was helpless when persuading Liu Jin's troops who were about to make a mutiny. He didn't know what kind of means did Lin Yanchao deal with these martial artists.

Sun Kuang said: "Master Jinglei, these soldiers are making trouble, so it is unreasonable to say that. You can share it with them, just like the wild beasts in the "Jiu Shao" and enjoy flying birds."

Lin Yanchao glanced at Sun Mine, who said it was an allusion of Confucius' journey to the west.

When Confucius arrived at the West Sea, his horse accidentally ate the farmer's crops. The farmer was furious and took off Confucius' horse. Confucius asked Zigong, who was best at socializing among his disciples, to get the horse back, but Zigong was disappointed.

Confucius shook his head and asked his groom to say that the groom said to the farmer, "You are not in the East China Sea, and I have never come to the West Sea. The crops in the two places look the same. How can my horse know whether to eat them? When the farmer heard that he said, he should say the same thing as you, how can he say it like the person just said.

Confucius lamented that he enjoyed wild animals with the Tailao and enjoyed birds with the "Jiu Shao".

It means that Zigong is an eloquent person, lying on the temple, and there is no problem among the princes, but talking to a farmer is like giving the slaughter to a beast to eat and playing Jiushao to a bird.

Lin Yanchao said: "Zhongcheng means that no matter how eloquent Lin is, what can I say with these martial artists?"

When Sun Kuang heard Lin Yanchao's meaning, he said, "Master Jinglei, you seem to think that Sun is a bit inferior to each other since ancient times, but when we literati and military people are not allowed to deal with literati."

Lin Yanchao understood what Sun Mine meant.

Confucius wrote an allusion to the West. A gentleman is self-righteous. He respects others without having to see respect, and loves others without having to see love. Those who respect others are oneself; those who see respect and love are others. A gentleman must be in himself, not in others.

This is not explained, but understands it from another perspective. As a civil servant, he is usually a scholar. Scholars treat each other with the word "qualities" in daily communication. You respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot.

What about military generals? They are all rough people. They lack such sense of proportion and boundaries when they interact with each other. Moreover, military generals are extremely authoritative and obey their superiors, but bully their subordinates. The way they treat the other person's scholars is not good. If you are polite to him, they will think you will be easy to talk to and will bully you immediately.

Therefore, there are often scenes in performing arts. The first thing to do when leading generals to the military camp is to find fault in advance, and the excuse that the generals below are late to confront each other, etc., first kill a general, and then a group of generals express their feelings. They often kneel on the ground, and finally pardon the other party, establishing authority in this way.

Of course, this is not the case, but it also comes from one's own life.

In history, Yang Su, a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, used the excuse to kill 180 people before the war to establish his military power. When it comes to war, he will first send a hundred people to fight. All those who cannot win will behead the army! He will then send a hundred people to fight, and then kill them until they win.

Yang Su was like this. After the Song Dynasty, civil servants were often more harsh in command of military command than military generals. This caused disagreement between civil servants and military officials, so civil servants would humiliate military commanders.

In the final analysis, they only have fear of military law and obey the kindness and power of the general, but do not know how to fight for the country and nation. This is a common problem of the feudal army.

Sun Mine said: "In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhejiang Governor Zhang Wenxi reduced his military salary by one third, but was rushed into the governor's yamen and beaten up by the officers and soldiers. How could the subordinates not know about the incident of the Ningxia Governor Dang Xin, but there is really no better way. If you give in, these people will climb onto your head and act as a blessing."

Lin Yanchao smiled at Sun Mine and said, "The Chief Secretary said one less person. Former Yunyang Governor Li Cai changed his residence to his student's academy. As a result, the soldiers made a big fuss and became prisoners from governors and are still in prison."

Sun Mine nodded.

Lin Yanchao said: "This person is one of the few people who know the military. I have asked the court to transfer him to the army to serve and make meritorious service in order to commit crimes. The court asked him to guard Zhenhai, so I want to come to the military officer under my command."

"As for Liu Jing, please rest assured! Li Cai had an old friend with Liu Jing before, so let him talk to Liu Jing."

Lin Yanchao immediately said to Wu Youli outside the door: "You and Mr. Li go to Liu's camp to talk to him, and ask him if he wants those two hundred Lumi guns?"

Wu Youli said that he left immediately.

Sun Mine said strangely: "What is this Lumi gun? Can Liu Jing be obedient?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's just a little favor this strategy has given Liu Jing. Now I'm asking for personal favors. In fact, I think Liu Jing is just going to be a bad person. I'll be a good person by comforting the Taiwan Strait!"

"Give it power and take it with benefits! The subordinates will inherit the teachings!" Sun Kuang did not expect that Lin Yanchao had such a way, and actually won the heart with kindness. He thought that although Lin Yanchao and Liu Jing came on the same boat, they had no connection at all.

Soon after, it was rumored that the soldiers' mutiny was suppressed, and Liu Jing entered the city to apologize.

Seeing this, Sun Mine admired Lin Yanchao even more. Since then, Yu Shandong's government affairs have been consulted for Yu Lin Yanchao.

This is completely different from when Lin Yanchao first arrived in Dengzhou. Sun Mine was afraid that Lin Yanchao would stay in Dengzhou for a long time, so he passed by him to command Shandong's military and political power. Now he wanted Lin Yanchao to stay here for a long time.

It’s strange that Sun Mine has many tricky things at hand. After Lin Yanchao’s point of advice or memorials to the court, all of them will be resolved immediately!

At this moment, Sun Mine felt that this was the most easy thing to be an official!

However, Lin Yanchao was about to leave Shandong. It turned out that 500,000 stones of grain from Taicang had already arrived in Dengzhou through the Mei family fleet.

The moment he learned about this, Lin Yanchao, Chen Jichuan and Wu Youli stood on Penglai Pavilion together, watching countless boats sailing into Penglai Water City from the ocean in the distance.

Lin Yanchao said: "When King Wu attacked Qi, he ordered the doctor Xu Cheng to lead the navy to cross the sea to attack Qi. It has been two thousand years since then, but why is the sea route from south to north still so difficult?"

Chen Jichuan and Wu Youli didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Let the Mei brothers come to Penglai Pavilion!"

The sea boat was moored in Penglai Water City. This time the boat was escorted by Mei Kan. The old man of the Mei family passed away last year. The eldest son of Mei wanted to stay in Yangzhou to maintain the Mei family's previous relationship.

And this time, Mei Kan came to the boat when he headed north.

After Mei Kan entered Penglai Pavilion, he saluted Lin Yanchao, and the two of them had their own greetings.

Then Lin Yanchao held a banquet to entertain Mei Kan. During the meal, Lin Yanchao asked, "It's smooth all the way from Taicang to Dengzhou?"

"Although the blessing of Master Guanluo has been a little difficult along the way, I finally live up to my entrusted responsibility."

"Oh, what's the difficulty? Is the boat not big enough? Can't bear the wind and waves?"

Lin Yanchao also wanted to know about the Haicao incident in the second year of presidency.

Mei Kan said: "That's not the case. It's easy to find a ship for this sea transportation, but the most difficult thing is the sailors and helmsman who can go out to sea!"

Lin Yanchao grabbed a piece of fish and said, "Yes, I heard that the most difficult thing from Jianghuai to Shandong is the danger of becoming a mountain."

Mei Kan put down his chopsticks and said, "What Master Jinglei said is that last year, we also opened the ocean from Liujiagang in May, turned to the horse-supporting sand, and went to Sansha Yangzi River, northeast to Bandansha Dahong, and thousands of miles long beach. Then we walked along the northeast for more than a thousand miles to Heishuiyang, then turned from northwest to Chengshan and Liudao, and arrived in Tianjin in July."

"In the end, I returned to Jiangnan. Although I recruited many experienced sailors and helmsmen, I was often caught in the wind and shoals along the way. The most difficult thing was to pass through Chengshan and break several ships!"

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel regretful when he heard this.

Mei Kan smiled and said, "Mr. Jingliuo, but this year we have opened a new sea route and are much more skilled. Not only is it faster, but one ship has not sunk!"

Lin Yanchao asked, "Oh? One ship has not sunk?"

Mei Kan asked when she saw Lin Yanchao's expression: "What are you worried about by Master Jinglei?"

Lin Yanchao said: "I proposed the method of sea grain because it was inconvenient for river grain. But the risk of sea grain lies in the uncertainty at sea! If your Mei family is skilled in this matter, aren't you afraid that anyone will be jealous? The court will take this matter back and do it!"

Mei Kan laughed and said, "Even if the court wants to do it, the court can't do it!"

"Why do you say this?"

Mei Kan said: "In fact, there is no difficulty in shipping. From south to north to south, from north to south, outsiders think that the journey is thousands of miles and they are very afraid of the sea. But in fact, the most important thing to take a ten thousand-year-old ship is to recruit familiar men and make the matter take charge."

"If a good boatman can pin the line to determine the direction of the boat, watch the zimuth at night so that the sea boat will not be trekking in the ocean, and watch the astronomical phenomena during the day to distinguish the wind and tides. All skilled boatmen know about these things, in addition to knowing where to take shelter from the wind. When encountering shallows, they should find skilled boatmen to click oars to avoid falling into the reefs, and then hire people who have been on the sea for a long time as the front of the fleet. Such a sailor's income from two months is better than that of the outside three years."

"Master Jingliuo dare to ask, is the court willing to give the money for the employment? Even if the court is willing to give it, can the court know which one is a skilled boatman and which one is a good one?"

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this. This is a system that has always been a problem and does not pay attention to talents. However, for sailing merchants like the Mei family, people can make full use of their talents. Old boatmen and sailors are all left with high salaries, and none of them have idle food. In time, these people are precious sailing talents.

Lin Yanchao said: "Since that is the case, the court cannot intervene in the matter of shipping. So what should you do if the court releases the maritime ban in the future?"

Mei Kan smiled and said, "Then you don't worry even more!"

"Oh? How do you say it?"

Mei Kan said: "Master Jingliu, the imperial merchants that the Mei family bought with so much money were not for nothing. Look at this ship coming from Taicang. Along the way, the coastal journey, in addition to carrying goods, they always dock to replenish supplies and eat freshwater. When encountering wind and waves, they should enter the port to shelter. Although our Mei family's ship is parked at will. However, after other maritime merchants are parked, they will inevitably be exposed to various local difficulties and exploitation like on the river. If they do not want to dock, then the boat will have more food freshwater, so the cargo will be loaded less. Anyway, we will not suffer any loss!"
