Xu Pengju was a fool, and this is certain. He was so greedy that he smuggled the sand ships guarding Nanjing. He was so timid that dozens of Japanese pirates invaded Nanjing and did not dare to face the enemy. Naturally, he would not rashly agree to Qian Yuan's request, even if Qian Yuan grabbed his braid.

However, since Qian Yuan dared to come, he was naturally fully prepared.

"In early October, the Minister of Revenue Li'an, the Minister of Revenue, proposed to open a ban on trade in the sea. Can the Duke know?"

"I know, it's really hard for this old man." Xu Pengju yelled, "It is said that he would either start a maritime ban on trade or allow him to retire."

In the 28th year of Jiajing, Fang Dun served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, and Xu Pengju was no stranger to him.

"Your Majesty scolded Mr. Li'an for not being polite, but did not explicitly scold him for proposing to open a maritime ban on trade."

After looking at Xu Pengju who was thinking, Qian Yuan continued: "Last year, Qian proposed to open a ban on trade in the sea before His Majesty. Even if the saint was half a month ago, the same was true for him, but His Majesty ordered Qian to inspect Zhejiang."

"As long as you don't transport grain to sea, there is no need to worry about it." Qian Yuan whispered: "Silk, cloth, porcelain, tea... I remember there are several tea mountains in the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

"So much output is not sold to maritime merchants... who else can collect so much?"

"And these goods are produced in the southeast and are convenient for water."

Qian Yuan raised his hand to stop Xu Pengju from speaking and continued: "He inherited the title of Duke of the Kingdom of China, we must be cautious. Qian will not let the Duke of the Kingdom of China charge into battle... It only needs to ship the Duke of Wei's Mansion."

Xu Pengju's eyes lit up. This is an idea. You can make money but don't have to take responsibility... The blacksmith shop also sells scissors. Can someone else blame the blacksmith if he buys it and kills someone?

When it comes to money, Xu Pengju's IQ immediately fell... But Qian Yuan did not lie to him. First, the Duke of Wei's Mansion had sufficient goods, and second, many great ministers and aristocratic families all had to look at the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Pengju has the ability and is qualified to directly intervene in Nanjing Shipyard.

"Brother, don't worry, the head of the shipyard is still from my Duke of Wei's Mansion!" Xu Pengju patted his chest and promised: "Taizhou, Shaoxing, in half a year, at least forty sand boats can be transferred!"

Qian Yuan nodded, and thought about it in his heart, but was still a little worried, and whispered: "Gao Xinzheng is aware of this."

"Really?!" Xu Pengju was overjoyed, "Brother, this is not a joke!"

"The whole world is short of silver, the Ministry of Revenue is short of silver, Hu Ruzhen is short of silver, Your Majesty is short of silver..." Qian Yuan said in a stressful tone: "Gao Xinzheng is also short of silver."

Gao Xinzheng here naturally refers to King Yu. Xu Pengju smiled and made up his mind to call the shipyard guy to make up for the whole day at night.

Qian Yuan and Xu Pengju looked at each other, and each looked away, knowing it in their hearts.

To this day, the emperor has not been in power for more than forty years. There are those who ascended the throne at a young age, as Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Wuzong ascended the throne for fifteen years, died in his reign for sixteen years, and Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne for twenty-six years, even worse, he died in his reign for ten years.

Of course, the worst thing was Zhu Yunwen, who ascended the throne at the age of 21 and died four years later.

Although Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, he has been in power for 35 years, and has been practicing Taoism and alchemy for more than ten years... Since ancient times, there has been no long-lived king who seeks immortality and seeks Taoism.

He also nodded and allowed the sea ban to open and trade. In Xu Pengju's mind, Emperor Jiajing was not as heavy as King Yu.

After the matter was negotiated, Qian Yuan and Xu Pengju both had their own gains. The former's main demand is not to open a sea ban on trade, but to the military ships that are currently in short supply in the coastal prefectures. After more than three years of severing sea trade, the latter saw the silver ahead. And this time there was no need to take any risks or pay any costs... Xu Pengju would not use the silver in his pocket to repair the sand ship.

However, Xu Pengju still has a little doubt. The primary point of opening a maritime ban on trade is not in the court, but in the Japanese pirates.

"Don't worry, within one year, we will wipe out Xu Hai." Qian Yuan said proudly: "Then he will form a fleet to go to sea. If there is any loss, it will be counted on me, Qian."

Rejecting Xu Pengju's banquet, Qian Yuan immediately went out and borrowed dozens of horses to the dock. The Duke of Wei's Mansion was in Nanjing. Xu Bangning stepped forward to allocate an official boat and set off for Zhejiang. It was almost the New Year's Day.

From Zhenjiang to the North and South Canal, heading south through Changzhou and Suzhou, and pausing for a day in Tongxiang County, Jiaxing Prefecture, received more than a dozen guards who were recovering from the wounded, and set off south to arrive in Hangzhou.

The position of inspector is very special. To put it bluntly, it is the sand mixed with the imperial court. However, Qian Yuan has a reputation not lower than Hu Zongxian in Zhejiang, especially in Hangzhou. In just one day, although Qian Yuan did not get off the boat, there were endless people coming to visit.

"Mr. Fushan." Qian Yuan gave a gift. Although the first meeting was unpleasant a few months ago, He Xinyin was willing to take a risk to sneak up on Chongde to report the news. Later, a battle outside Tongxiang County led the way. The two had already turned enemies into friends.

"Zhancai." He Xinyin's eyes dodged a little, "I'm in a hurry to go back to Taizhou?"

This question is a bit strange. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and even the Japanese pirates are going to celebrate the New Year. Qian Yuan’s family is in Taizhou, so how could he not go back?

However, Qian Yuan is now in charge of Zhejiang. Speaking of military affairs, there is reason not to go back.

"What?" Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Is it possible that Brother Ruzhen has prepared a yamen for Mr. Qian in Hangzhou City?"

Patrols are generally mobile and rarely fixed in one place. Generally speaking, there is no fixed office space.

Wu Baipeng, who was visiting at the same time, whispered: "Zhejiang General Yu Dayou is stationed in Jiaxing, and Zhejiang Deputy General Qi Jiguang is transferred to Ningbo... The Governor's Office has just issued a transfer order, and Lu Bin leads his troops to Taizhou."

"Lu Bin?" Qian Yuan was a little surprised.

"Although Lu Ziming was defeated and imprisoned, Lu Bin made contributions to both Changshui Town and Tongxiang. The Governor requested the merits for him. The Ministry of War was officially released the day before yesterday, and Lu Bin was promoted to the general of Ningshaotai." Wu Baipeng thought for a while and added: "Hou Ji was a high-profile assistant to the Zhejiang Metropolitan Commander, served as the guerrilla general, and was the deputy of Lu Bin."

As soon as these words were said, He Xinyin looked even more embarrassed. It was not that Hu Ruzhen had promised to let Lu Bin and Hou Jigao station in Jiaxing, but now he regretted it... The allocation of troops was not just a matter of saying it, so it was natural for Yu Dayou to be transferred to the general of Zhejiang to station in Jiaxing.

The key is that Hu Ruzhen allocated troops like this, which is a hint that Qian Zhan will stay in Taizhou, don’t make trouble, look, I will match you with my old partner Lu Bin and Hou Jigao.

He Xinyin thought so, so he looked awkward, and Wu Baipeng thought so, so he wanted to persuade Qian Yuan to put the overall situation first and not to have a slight treachery with the Governor's Office.

But Qian Yuan didn't think so. He asked with a smile: "Mr. Fushan, before, my younger brother scolded me... Ruan Yingjian was incompetent, Hu Ruzhen was inseparable, did he know?"

Before He Xinyin could speak, Qian Yuan shook his head, "It doesn't matter, these words are the same in front of him, Hu Ruzhen, and these words are the same in front of His Majesty."

Wu Baipeng was fine, but after hearing this, He Xinyin's face changed. He knew that Qian Yuan and Hu Ruzhen had secret transactions in Tongxiang County for more than a month.

What does this sentence mean?

Is it that you, Qian Yuan, are wearing small shoes for Hu Zongxian behind your back and saying something?

After glanced at He Xinyin, Qian Yuan said casually: "The original words are turned to Brother Ruzhen, tell him that I will wait for him in Taizhou."

This time, He Xinyin and Wu Baipeng were really wrong. In terms of system, among the civil and military officials in the southeast to fight against Japanese devils, Qian Yuan, the Zhejiang Inspector, was not a subordinate of Hu Zongxian.

Fengtian inspectors, he can get everything in his hands and go anywhere. After the news, Hu Zongxian dared to press Qian Yuan in Taizhou after eating Xiong Xin Leopard?

What's more, Qian Yuanjian is in the heart of the emperor and has a good relationship with the Yan Party and has a good relationship with King Yu. Although Hu Zongxian is narrow in size, he is not a fool.

The only explanation is that Hu Zongxian hopes to maintain his previous relationship with Qian Yuan... to be precise, to maintain information communication with Qian Yuan.

What information communication?

Of course, it was Qian Yuan's eyeliner buried among the Japanese pirates.

Hu Zongxian has experienced the war for a long time, so of course he knows that when the Japanese pirates are far away from overseas, it is difficult for Qian Yuan to meet directly with his spy. So it is very likely that the two have predetermined communication channels.
