Yang Zhou went to the sea on a large fishing boat of 500 dan.

The shopkeeper Zhong had no joy or sadness. He earned 20,000 silver dollars in a business, which was nothing to him.

However, His Majesty asked them to send these young men to the sea and demanded that they should go well.

If the person who came to Guangzhou was a cunning person like Yang Xiong, the shopkeeper would naturally not talk too much, because that was completely useless. Since the people who came to the family were all children and nephews, there would be too much room for operation in the middle.

I don’t know what it would be like to hear that his younger brother had built an island for him, Yang.

Islands don’t have money!

Whoever finds it first belongs to whom!

The court will have detailed records!

However, if the island is obtained, it must be developed. If there are so many people on the island in the first year, then the population on the island will double in the next year. In the third year, the same is true for the five people on the island in the first year. Ten years later, the island must have 2,500 people, and only this goal can be achieved.

Ten years later, a baron's title was basically obtained, and the island was completely owned by the developer.

In other words, once Yangzhou finds a good island, he will continue to develop the island for ten years, and there are development ratio requirements every year. With Yangzhou alone, he cannot accomplish such a thing.

It is inevitable that Yang and Yang Xiong were completely dragged down.

Guangzhou, which had been cold for a few days, quickly turned into spring after being sunny for two days.

The shopkeeper took off his thick clothes, changed into a refreshing jacket, sat on a bamboo chair and sipped tea in a purple clay teapot.

He doesn't like the winter in Guangzhou. He feels comfortable only if the warm air wraps his body.

A scholar in blue clothes walked into the shop in a daze.

This guy was obviously from Yushan Academy.

Because it is impossible for scholars elsewhere to joke with friends as approachable as him, and scholars elsewhere to know the names and uses of spices here. Of course, scholars other families will not have a trace of alienation in their eyes when they are approachable.

That's right, this scholar looked like a thug sitting on the low-high counter, but what he said was always so comfortable, which led to his behavior looking like a thug, but it fell into the eyes of the guy, but it seemed like seeing a relative...

The young man is not old, no more than fifteen years old at most. His eyebrows look very delicate and his pair of lively eyebrows are very funny when they move. In a moment, the guy becomes his follower.

After a porter carrying a bamboo pole barefoot passed by Zhangshang, Zhangshang's eyebrows frowned.

"Such a beautiful young man shouldn't be Xu Wuxiang's son."

Manager Zhong tried hard to recall the marijuana skinned face of Xu Wuxiang. Finally, he found several places on the young man's face that were somewhat similar to Xu Wuxiang. He sighed and said, "If you buy spices, go back to Yushan soon. You probably haven't graduated yet, right?"

Xu Tianen, who was trying to collect information from the client, turned his head and looked at Manager Zhong and said, "Did you recognize it?"

The shopkeeper Zhong waved his hand holding the teapot and said, "If you remove the scoundrels on your face that are suffering from disaster, you father and son will be printed out in the same mold."

Xu Tianen smiled and said, "If you have seen uncle, you can say this, it is absolutely right to call uncle."

Manager Zhong smiled and said, "This is a trap. After buying spices, turn back to Yushan. If you like this Guangzhou scenery, let your friend take you around and try the fish here.

It would be a waste of time to bring something that you can’t see in Yushan for your mother, brother, and sister.”

Xu Tianen smiled and said, "My father also told me this way. I dare to ask my uncle's name and name, so my nephew can report back to my father."

Manager Zhong shook his head and said, "Forget it, we are not all the people. As long as you don't go to the sea, I will be worthy of your father."

Xu Tianen bowed again and said, "My nephew knows that His Majesty has opened the sea ban and now it is necessary to get into the sea. As the royal manager, why don't he want my nephew to go into the sea?

You know, my nephew came here this time just to go to sea to see it."

The shopkeeper looked at the little fox with no hair and said lightly: "It's okay to go into the sea. I'll prepare a ship for you, and then equip you with some skilled sailors, and hire some guards for you. You can go into the sea to build a huge island for your father."

Xu Tianen laughed and said, "Uncle was joking. My nephew wanted to go into the sea. The problem is my father. My father said that if I dared to go into the sea, he would break my legs."

Manager Zhong sighed and said, "Your father is right. There is also the constraints of the Ming Dynasty's King Law on this land, so it is not a problem to go anywhere. When you go to the sea, the Ming Dynasty's King Law will no longer work. Human wildness is undoubtedly revealed on the sea. Although General Han has blocked the Strait of Malacca, the South Ocean sea has become the inner sea of ​​our Ming Dynasty.

It’s a pity that there are too few people on the sea. If two ships meet, if they have bad intentions, a bloody battle will happen in an instant. Your baby is still young and cannot experience such a scene. When you are a few years older, you can go to the sea to explore.

Now, listen to my uncle and ask your friend to take you to play tricks, and you are not allowed to go to the brothel!

When I go back, I will prepare the goods for you and the gifts you give to your parents.

Daozi, take good care of the Xu family’s son, dare to go to the brothel and be careful that I will peel you.”

Seeing that the strange elder had already issued an order, Xu Tianen bowed to thank him and went to play with the guy named Daozi.

Xu Tianen came to the street and first made a large cup of coconut milk for himself and Daozai to cool down, and ate while walking.

After the two of them wandered around Guangzhou City, Xu Tianen found a small shop for beef ate for lunch with Daozi.

After half a day, Xu Tianen and Dao Zai have become good friends who can talk about everything.

After holding a piece of fragrant cow scalp to Daozai, Xu Tianen said, "Daozai, is it really dangerous at sea?"

Daozi said while eating, "There are pirates."

Xu Tianen frowned and said, "Didn't Uncle Shi Lang kill the pirates?"

Dao Zai shook his head and said, "Pirates cannot be killed. The seamen of our Ming Dynasty all followed General Han. General Shi Lang became a navy, so naturally no one went to be a pirate again.

However, the people on the sea were too mixed. Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Japanese shogunate, had some idea of ​​truly unifying Japan over the years, and constantly attacked daimyos from all over the world. I heard that it was unstoppable and difficult to resist. Many daimyos had died, so there were many ronin people.

These ronin without their lords could no longer survive on land, and they went into the sea one by one and became pirates.

Not only did they become pirates, but some Koreans who were wandering on the sea also became pirates. When General Shi Lang captured Taiwan, they fled a lot of Spanish, Portuguese, and General Han blocked Malacca. They could not return to Europe. My Ming Dynasty didn't want them, so these people also became pirates.

Of course, there are also the remnants of the Zheng family's pirates, the remnants of Annan pirates, and the remnants of Siam pirates. As far as I know, it seems that some of Zhang Bingzhong's subordinates have also become pirates.

The power of these pirates is not very strong, but they are as annoying as mosquitoes. The navy still couldn't find them. After killing a group of people, another group of people immediately became pirates.

There were artillery guards on the large merchant ships, and they dared not rob them, but unarmed merchant ships would be miserable when they encountered them.

Just half a month ago, the merchants in Tanzhou made a ship of porcelain and were ready to send them to Malacca to trade with those merchants in the country. They encountered pirates in the Beibu Gulf. All sixteen sailors and seven merchants on the ship were killed.

The porcelain was gone and the money was gone. There was an empty ship floating on the sea. When it was discovered by the naval patrol ship, the body on the ship had turned into water, leaving only bones. It was so miserable. The ship was stopped at the dock now. Everyone said that this ship was unlucky. No one wanted the big merchant ship with 20,000 silver dollars and the free price of 100 silver dollars."

Xu Tianen chewed a piece of cow heart into his mouth and slowly frowned. After swallowing it, he said, "The Navy has not avenged these sailors, merchants?"

Daozi spread his hands and said, "I don't know who did it, nor do I know where the thieves are. How can I take revenge? The patrol ships patroled in the waters of that area for two months and found nothing. How can I take revenge?"

"Porcelain! Isn't anyone checking for porcelain? Isn't the pirates robbing porcelain just for sale?"

Daozi spread his hands and said, "It should have been investigated like this, but Guangzhou is going to transport 160,000 people to Yaozhou. No one in the navy or the government will do this.

So, I had to do this and check it slowly in the future.”

Xu Tianen nodded and said, "After finishing the meal, take me to the harbor to have a look."

Daozi frowned and said, "Young Master, don't look at it. Don't look at that ship that is so stinking. The families of those dead ghosts are crying on the side of the ship all day long, and the mourning clothes make people feel uncomfortable.

In the evening, we will go to Linjia Alley to take you to eat their shrimps that are one and a half feet long.

The shrimps were fried in oil and sprinkled with pepper and salt. Tsk, the taste will definitely be unforgettable for the young master."

Xu Tianen said lightly: "I, the people of Ming Dynasty, died unjustly?"

Daozi smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, when a person gets on the boat, his life will be tied to God's crotch. Life and death are his own life. As long as he gets on the boat and goes down the sea, life and death are destined, and wealth is in heaven, and he cannot help but be with others."

Xu Tianen sneered and said, "I don't take the wealth on the sea seriously, but the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot be killed for nothing. The blood debt must be paid back. Take me to see the ship!"

...

Three days later, Daozai came back, and the shopkeeper Zhong was still sitting on his bamboo chair and drinking tea, just as Daozai had just left for a moment.

"Set it settled?"

"I've settled down. Mr. Xu brought sixteen fully armed guards. I helped him find nine experienced sailors. Mr. Xu also installed a twelve-pound cannon on the dead ship through his own connections and an eight-pound cannon on the stern of the ship. They were all old goods removed from the Dutch ship. However, it is still no problem to deal with Zhou Laizi's more than thirty pirates."

"Are you sure Zhou Laizi and the others have already run to Changzui Island south of Java Island?"

Daozi laughed and said, "It was supposed to be my way, but now that Mr. Xu is willing to go, that's the best."

He smiled with the shopkeeper and said, "Aren't you afraid that his father will find your follow-up account?"
