Chapter 171 The Forbidden Sea Tide

Speaking of which, this matter is due to Chen Bin. If Chen Bin hadn't proposed to watch "Jin Ping Mei", Liu Peng would have really not know that this thing had been spread to China during the Wanli period.

When he read "Jin Ping Mei", he really made an unexpected major discovery in this book. Since this treasure has been mentioned in the book, it must have been circulating in China for a long time.

After all, although there is no formal engraving book of Jin Pingmei, it has been written for many years. What’s more important is that since the story takes place in Linqingzhou, the author should have some relationship with Linqingzhou. All the details he talks must be based on. I believe that after a walk around Linqingzhou, you will definitely gain something.

Gu Mengyu immediately asked, "Sister Qingyue is going to Linqingzhou, what should I do?"

Liu Peng immediately replied: "Of course, I have to bother Sister Mengyu to trouble me. I will help me find ten acres of mountainous land, preferably a relatively secret mountainous land. If outsiders don't know that they can't find it, then find one or two reliable family members. It is best to be veterans of farming, but they must be reliable."

Gu Mengyu immediately understood and she replied immediately: "No problem, Brother Liu Peng, just leave all this to me."

But she still asked: "Brother Liu Peng, if you really want to introduce crops, you can try the way of the Wang family in Xincheng."

In the contemporary era of the Wang family in Xincheng, there is agronomist Wang Xiangjin who has been repeatedly mentioned in later history. Therefore, the Wang family in Xincheng has a large number of good varieties. Not only has they introduced a large number of American plants, but they even wrote a monograph "Qunhuang Ci". Although "Qunfang Ci" has not yet been written and Wang Xiangjin has not reached the peak of his agronomy achievements, they can be said to have all the plant varieties in their hands.

Since the Xincheng Wang Family is the most common new crops in Shandong, especially the American plants, most people will give priority to finding the Xincheng Wang Family.

But Liu Peng shook his head and said, "What is the Wang family in Xincheng? They have been struggling for so many years, and the crops they have introduced cannot be promoted even in Yuantai, let alone the entire Shandong. I believe me, if we succeed this time, we can not only benefit the country and the people, but also change the whole world and the fate of the entire Shandong!"

"Yeah, I understand!"

Gu Mengyu and Jiang Qingyue saw Liu Peng saying it very seriously, nodded together and remembered Liu Peng's instructions in their hearts.

Liu Peng in front of them was just an ordinary boy under fourteen years old. Others were just half-year-old kids in Liu Peng's age, but now there is always a magical power in Liu Peng's words, as if everything he said can become a reality.

Liu Peng is such a person who can create all miracles in the world.

Even if it's upside down!

Even if it is tomorrow and the earth will be broken!

Even if he wants to rebel with a flag!

They all followed Liu Peng to work hard because this is their man!

They asked again: "Brother Liu Peng, do you have anything else to explain?"

Liu Peng replied: "There is one more thing!"

"What's up?"

Liu Peng hugged the two beauties, smelled the faint fragrance on their bodies, felt their softness and elasticity, and felt their charm and temperament. He was already drunk.

He said in an intoxicating tone: "After the New Year, I will be fourteen years old!"

That’s right, after the Chinese New Year, Liu Peng and Liu are fourteen years old. Outsiders may not be able to hear the meaning of Liu Peng’s words, but Gu Mengyu and why can’t they hear the hints of Liu Peng’s words?

The evening breeze is gentle and the bright moon is flying in the sky.

This is destined to be a New Year's Eve that is extremely happy and sweet, even sweet enough to get tired of it.

Liu Peng is fourteen years old this year!

It is no longer the spring of the 40th year of Wanli, but the 41st year of Wanli.

However, the 43rd and 4th years of Wanli, Shandong's severe drought is getting closer and closer. In another two years, a catastrophe on earth will sweep across Shandong.

The people in Longkou Port and Huang County knew nothing about this catastrophe. They were just amazed at the unexpected prosperity of Longkou Port.

Even the chief officials such as Jiang Haotian and Chen Bin couldn't believe that a few months ago, this place was just a deserted pasture.

If Longkou could only be regarded as a relatively prosperous fishing village before the New Year, then after the New Year, it would be a port town with ever-changing changes.

During the Chinese New Year, there were only sixty or seventy people who stayed in Longkou Port when the permanent population was the smallest. However, Jiang Haotian and Xu Zhen can clearly confirm that no matter when in the future, the permanent population of Longkou Port could not be less than one hundred.

The fact is that it is impossible to have less than two hundred people. Now Longkou Port is as lively as a big town. Some people have already called Longkou by "Little Huangcheng", comparing it to a small county town in Huangxian.

Those who live in Longkou and dig up food on this piece of soil are the confidants sent by Chen Bin and his relatives, as well as a group of prisoners who are very capable of doing things, including Jiang Haotian and Jiang Qingyue's dozens of subordinates, and Gu family sent by Gu Mengyu. They opened four shops in Longkou in one breath and brought a large group of shopkeepers and friends.

In addition, there are the Liaodong refugee group headed by the Sun brothers, Xu Zhen and his military officers, and Liu Peng, the "Dragon Co-organizer" who were also stationed in Longkou.

This is just a scene before the New Year. After the New Year, famous shops and merchants in the county opened semicolons on Longkou, a land with infinite possibilities. Anhui Guild Hall made a piece of land in Longkou through Wu Menghui's relationship early, and some active-minded people considered the issue of opening a port in Longkou.

With the capital they have, even if they save for a few years, they will not be able to open their own store in the county town. However, the amount of money they have in hand cannot even open half a store in the county town, but they have enough to open two stores in Longkou. Moreover, Longkou now has more customers and few stores, and the competition is not fierce. It is the best opportunity to occupy a place.

Some people decided to give it a try, some people hesitated, but they soon regretted it because, as everyone knows, Huang Taifu officially ordered a ban on the sea after the Yuanxiao Festival and did not allow Dengzhou Prefecture to go out to sea with a ruler and sail.

For this reason, Penglai Water City locked up all the ships that could go out to sea. Except for several navy ships that could still go out to sea to patrol, Penglai Water City can now become a desert on the sea. According to the order of Huang Gongfu, all public and private ports in Dengzhou Prefecture, even those operating underground, were forcibly closed.

The prefect Huang had a list of ports for Dengzhou Prefecture. He followed the map and ordered the civil and military officials below to kill and forcibly seal the port. However, the efficiency of the Ming government has always been calculated based on years. Longkou Port was not on this list, so he was naturally extremely lucky to escape.

Only Longkou Port is almost the only lucky one. People originally thought that Huang Taifu could only close the ports under the jurisdiction of the government. Since the early Ming Dynasty, the garrison stations have been independent of the administrative system. Although the operation of ports like Huang Hezhai, which are under the management of the garrison stations, may even have to be closed for a period of time, Huang Taifu is beyond the reach, and the garrison stations will maintain normal operation for most periods.

But reality ruthlessly educates most people who are lucky, while Huang Taifu accidentally becomes a trendsetter.

It turned out that on the first day of the 12th month of the 40th year of Wanli, the Ministry of War submitted a memorial to strictly prohibit the sea, saying, "The ban on sea trafficking has been repeatedly warned, but unexpectedly, some people still carry out the ban on the public. They checked the matter and found that although they were not communicating with Japanese people, they were suspicious of escape. They should be investigated by the original yamen. They also passed the coastal guards, and there were officials to ban military and civilians. They were not allowed to go out of the ocean privately, and they were engaged in the riots, causing trouble." Emperor Wanli followed his proposal and ordered the promulgation of the world.

When this edict arrived in Dengzhou, it happened that the prefect Huang took action to strictly investigate the maritime ban. Because it was highly consistent with the court, the prefect Huang was optimistic for a while and was recognized as a latecomer. He would be a governor and a governor in the future. Maybe he could even enter the capital or even become a prime minister.

However, since Huang Taifu became a trendsetter, the intensity of the ban on the sea this time was beyond everyone's imagination. Not only Dengzhou Prefecture strictly investigated the ban on the sea, but Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture could only follow the trend and ban on the sea. Local officials felt that it should be right to follow the crowd, so they would not lose their black hat inexplicably.

Since the proposal of banning the sea was originally proposed by the Ministry of War, the garrison was under the greatest pressure. Whether it was the battalion or the garrison, as long as it had a little relationship with the ban, it was now forcibly closed, and Liu Peng's Longkou Port has almost become the only lucky one.
