Chapter 430 Special Reception
Liangchen felt that Liu Jixiang was too worried. This matter had nothing to do with the Silijian. He wanted to use the Wanguo map to flatter Wanli and make a fortune, and solve the big problem of financial shortage for the country and the emperor. Of course, his own poverty problem was also solved. Unexpectedly, he finally managed to bury himself in a pit, which was led by himself.
"I compare myself with the Grand Secretary and the Top Scholar, and I always say that I call myself a saint's son, but I look down on us martial artists." Wang Yongshou yelled, and the good minister glanced at him, whispering in his heart that this self-proclaimed person is humble enough.
Just a military eunuch, can you really think of yourself as a martial artist?
If your butt can determine your head, you can't decide all your class attributes.
"The literary nobles and the martial arts are humble."
Liu Jixiang snorted slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with these four words.
"Everyone says there is a difference between inside and outside. According to me, the people in the Silijian regard our Royal Horse Prison as outsiders. For such a big deal, they didn't even say anything to the governor's branch. They clearly didn't see our Royal Horse Prison!" Wang Yongshou added fire and looked as if he had a grudge against the Silijian's big men.
"Silijian, Silijian..." Liu Jixiang murmured, looking towards the capital, with a resentful expression.
Seeing this, Song Qin stepped forward and advised: "Governor, you made suggestions to the emperor thirty years ago to start the maritime trade. Now the maritime trade is finally ready, so you should be happy."
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intent, and the good minister's heart skipped a beat: Why, Liu Jixiang is so far-sighted and wanted to go out to sea and make a fortune thirty years ago?
Senior!
"What's there to be happy about our family? The sea trade was opened too late. Our family is old and we can't get out of the sea." Liu Jixiang was a little lonely, as if he hated that the news came too late.
"The Sanbao's father-in-law can still go to the West when he is in his sixties. Why should the governor underestimate himself?" Song Qin smiled.
"Our family is not as good as the Three Treasures. Has the second one of these strange people been produced in our inner court in more than two hundred years?"
Liu Jixiang is still self-aware, and he was five years older than the last time he went to the West to the West. Time is not forgiving people, and his body is really unable to withstand the bumps on the sea. The greatest wish in his life is that he can only bring it into the coffin.
"Maybe the governor is the one." Song Qin said meaningfully.
"oh?"
Liu Jixiang laughed happily. Even though he knew that Song Qin flattered him, he was very happy.
Wang Yongshou was not willing to be able to Song Qin well, and said hurriedly: "The governor is very tough and not old at all. If he really goes out of the sea, the old ship owner will bless you with the spirit of the sky."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jixiang looked gloomy and sighed: "The old ship owner died for his injustice, the court is sorry for him."
What old ship owner?
The good minister heard it inexplicably, but he didn't dare to ask and stood there honestly.
The three in front of him were the admiral and the two were the military eunuchs, both of whom were higher-level than him, and they were also the big bosses who held military power. It would be better to be honest as a maritime eunuch who had not yet made a name.
"Mr. Governor, it's been fifty years since the matter, so let's take it easy." Wang Yongshou obviously knew the inside story and whispered to persuade him.
"Yes, it's been fifty years in the blink of an eye." Liu Jixiang was silent for a moment, shook his head, smiled like a self-deprecatingly, his eyes fell on Wei Liangchen's face, and said, "Zhang Cheng has a big heart to hand over such a big thing to you. Isn't he afraid that you will mess up the emperor's errand?"
"Without three or three, how dare you go to Liangshan?"
Liangchen casually said the current folk proverb, and then he was a little worried that Liu Jixiang would not understand.
Fortunately, thanks to the popularity of novels, Eunuch Liu still understands this proverb.
"At a young age, my tone is too big. We ask you, do you know what kind of situation overseas?"
Liu Jixiang did not think that Wei Liangchen, who was young, really understood anything about maritime affairs, was mostly Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to get his own private matters, and there were other people who actually did things. The so-called success in doing things, it didn’t matter if he could do it.
Combined with the recent actions of the Sili Supervisor, Liu Jixiang vaguely speculated that the reason why those old men wanted to start a maritime trade was probably to deal with the pressure on the mining supervision tax that was increasingly favored by the emperor.
If the maritime trade is done well, the open source income of the world's mining tax will be combined together, and it will be defeated.
In this way, the old guys in Silijian will have a stable status as Mount Tai.
Liu Jixiang still remembers what the old ship owner said to him at the beach more than fifty years ago when he was still a young man - "The world is so great, and the country is divided by the sea. If you travel to various countries by boat, your income will be rich for tens of millions of years."
However, the old ship owner was determined to enrich the country, but was killed by mediocre officials, and eventually became a bad reputation for Japanese pirates.
Poor and lamentable.
Unfortunately, there are very few people in this world who really understand sea trade. It is rare for the emperor to let go, but Zhang Cheng and others asked a child who was still young to do this big thing. If they really failed, they might start sea trade again in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Jixiang became increasingly dissatisfied with the people in the Silijian, and even had no good impression of the eunuch in front of him who might be Zhang Cheng's personal personalities.
Liu Jixiang's face suddenly became unfair. Liangchen knew that the other party probably looked down on him and thought he was not capable of doing this maritime affairs, so he didn't say nonsense. The best way to prove that he could do it was to do it.
So, he borrowed a sword from Cao Wenyao, drew his sword and drew it to draw a maritime picture on the ground. Considering that Liu Jixiang had told Wanli about the opening of maritime trade thirty years ago, this person must be very familiar with maritime affairs. Therefore, the maritime picture painted by Liangchen was very exquisite, and the geographical location was much more accurate than the map of the Wanguo that Matteo Ricci and others made. However, he still hid one hand and only roughly painted East and Southeast Asia, but no other places were painted.
"Please see, father-in-law!"
Liangchen pointed at the top of the Japanese islands with the tip of his knife and first started talking, splashing his mouth and saying whatever he pointed, as if he had experienced it himself. Regardless of the customs, customs, routes, major ports, etc., they were all right.
At first, Liu Jixiang didn't care, and his expression became solemn as he listened.
The layman watched the fun, Cao Wenyao and Song Qin's eunuchs had never left the sea and didn't know about overseas affairs, so they were purely curious when they were listening.
An expert is aware of the tricks. Liu Jixiang, who was raised by the owner of Wufeng in his early years, saw another world. In other words, it was avenues shining with golden light.
"This is generally the case. If there is anything wrong, please give me advice." Liangchen bowed and said so much, his mouth was dry and he subconsciously wiped his mouth.
When Cao Wenyao saw it, he hurriedly took his water bag and handed it over. Liangchen thanked him and took a few sips of it. After drinking it, he found that Liu Jixiang, Song Qin, and Wang Yongshou were all there without reaction.
After a while, Liu Jixiang couldn't help but ask Song Qin: "Have you started maritime courses in Neishutang in the past few years?"
"It shouldn't be."
Song Qin shook his head and taught to the eunuchs in Neishu Hall all the Grand Secretary and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. These people were most disgusted with the maritime trade. How could they teach maritime courses to the eunuchs?
Liu Jixiang nodded, looked at Wei Liangchen again, and said, "I understand a lot, but these are just minor details, not fundamentals for the sea trade. We ask you, since you have received this maritime affairs, how should we do this sea trade?" His tone was much softer than before.
"this…"
The good minister hesitated for a while. It was not that he didn't know how to do it, but that he really wanted to say in detail, so he would have been talking long. After thinking about it, he bowed to Liu Jixiang and said, "Eunuch Liu, I have explored the matter of sea trade and summarized it into eight words. As long as I do these eight words, sea trade will definitely be able to be done and bigger."
"What eight words? Let's talk about it."
"Buying and trading when busy, and hiding when free."
Um?
Wang Yongshou and Song Qin were both stunned. The transaction was understandable. What does robbery mean?
Liu Jixiang laughed, and after the laughter, he looked at Liangchen with great appreciation and said, "I'm right, it's true. But everyone can do things on their lips and can't count them. If you really want to do things, you have to rely on your real skills. Let's take the test."
"Please give me advice!"
This is not considered as a show of pretentiousness, but based on real talent and knowledge, people are impressed and admired. Liangchen is determined to establish a good relationship with these big men who are leading the army, so he is naturally ready to spare no effort to show himself.
As a result, he did not expect that the school entrance exam Liu Jixiang was trying to compete for alcohol.
I still drink deer blood wine.
The alcohol content was not high, but after several large bowls of bowls, Liangchen suddenly felt hot all over. He touched his nose several times, worried that he would not be able to withstand the nosebleed. Fortunately, the nosebleed did not flow for the time being, but in terms of this intensity, it would be very terrible tonight.
I felt panicked. The sky was getting dark and it was so dark that I could not return to the city. This meant that his little brother-in-law Wei might have made up for nothing tonight.
I looked up and looked at Liu Jixiang who was drinking happily. His face did not change, his face did not turn red, his heart was not beating, and his good ministers were so nervous about him. How could you, Duke Liu, bear this kind of remedy method tonight?
Eunuch Wei is a Japanese man, but you, Eunuch Liu, aren't it?
Wang Yongshou was drunk now, but Song Qin was not drunk because he didn't drink a lot. If it weren't for Liu Jixiang's words, I would have probably not even drunk the bowl in front of him.
When I came back from Lulan, I was not only drinking but also drinking, so Liangchen really couldn't figure out what the other party meant. What does my maritime business have to do with alcohol?
After getting up like a hero, he greeted Liu Jixiang with a bowl. After the Liangchen put down the wine bowl and was about to inquire, he saw Liu Jixiang nodding at Wang Yongshou, who immediately patted his palms outside.
When Song Qin saw it, he smiled slightly, giving Liangchen a more difficult look.
There is a chance!
The good minister's eyes lit up and his heart was full of joy. The father-in-laws were indeed different. They still had different tricks!
There are some tricks, maybe tonight...
The good minister was so happy that he didn't want Nanhaizi to have such a special treat.
If I had to take care of my image, I was afraid that my neck would stretched and looked out.
However, when a little eunuch led the helper in, Liangchen's face turned green in an instant.
What came in was not the graceful and charming young lady, nor the considerate and charming mature aunt, but a few young brothers who combine beauty and handsomeness.
Brother Rabbit!
Oh, you are the ancestors!
