"The Kansai Military Office is going to requisition a large number of ships!"

"All treasures have to be unloaded, and the food and grass should be transported to the Hexi Army to listen to it."

"Compensation? It would be nice to be able to return to the Song Dynasty alive. In my opinion, we were cheated!"

"It seems that the ship and cargo cannot be saved anymore. Thank you for being able to lead the Xia State government to home!"

Shortly after Zhao Xingde summoned the generals to discuss the matter, various rumors and speculation spread.

Although the navy was discussing compensation with major commercial banks such as Yajiaoxing and Fuhaixing, most of the merchants were not able to attend the meeting. For a moment, people on Longzhu Island immediately became panic, and the sea merchants couldn't help but feel that the unpredictable waves on the sea were not as good as the court's intentions. Especially in the Kansai court, there was not even a person talking. Just a light military book, the mountains of gold and silver that he got were shattered. After several months of this journey, the owners of the merchant ship, sailors and the officers and soldiers of the navy, could be considered to be a shared joy and sorrow. The complaints of the merchants inevitably affected the morale of the navy, and complaints were everywhere on the island...

"It's over, it's over!" Wu Dafu sat among the crowd, his eyes dulled like a fool.

His heart was irritated, and his mind was full of profit-making debts. The Wu family was originally a big salt merchant in Yangzhou. It was passed down to Wu Dafu's generation. Because the Liao people invaded the south, they were greatly injured. In order to avoid the family's decline, Wu Dafu took the lead in serving as the leader to raise money to buy a ship to go to sea with his ancestors. Many Yangzhou merchants bought shares by looking at the face of the Wu family. In order to recharge the big shares, Wu Dafu not only gritted his teeth and sold a lot of property, but also borrowed a lot of debts privately. The people of Yangzhou's debt collection have always been very powerful. It is only an ordinary thing to force people to death. If they have lost money this time, the Wu family in Yangzhou, which has been so popular for decades, will immediately fall. Wu Dafu will either be forced to death by his creditors or hide outside incognito.

He couldn't hear anything about Xu's official on the stage. Instead, some harsh whispers between the merchants, piercing into his eardrums like steel needles. "It's over now!" "What right to sail, right to trade, is it just a cake, and a hole to let us jump!" "Mr. Zhao is a good official, but he has to do it as he has written a military book in the court." "Oh, I can't escape, I can't escape." "I lost this trip, how can I explain to my elders when I returned to my hometown."

The compensation result of Zhao Xingde convened several of the largest merchants to discuss was first said that the navy issued a deed on behalf of the Xia court to give shipowners compensation for transporting food and grass. However, the cost of transporting food and grass at sea was far from comparable to the profits of tens or dozens of times the trade in treasure goods. Even if the navy issued such a huge compensation deed, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Guardian Mansion would never agree. Therefore, Zhao Xingde discussed with the merchants and would give the Song merchant ship west of Longzhu Island, which participated in the operation.

If the Xia Kingdom defeated the Rom Turks and were powerful and powerful in the vassal of the princes, these Song merchant ships would enjoy the same treatment as those of the Xia merchant ships in various ports west of Longzhu Island. The Xia court checkpoints on Longzhu Island were not only allowed to be released, but also treated them as Xia merchant ships. They did not impose tariffs, but only port taxes and mooring fees were collected. Xia Kingdom was deeply inland, with almost no ports, and there were no large merchant fleets that were by Xia Kingdom, and Song merchant ships that did not participate in the operation did not enjoy these preferential treatments. In this way, the maritime trade rights west of Longzhu Island were monopolized by these Song merchant ships who participated in the maritime operations with the army. Therefore, when Zhao Xingde proposed to compensate for the right of navigation and trade, several major commercial banks such as Fuhaixing, Four Sages, Yunshanxing, Yixing, Yajiaoxing, Haizhenxing, etc. were quite moved, so he summoned other ship owners to discuss the matter of requisition of ship compensation.

After Xu Xiaoyun stood on the stage to explain the situation, he looked at the merchants whispering below.

Yan Yuexi, the great deacon of Fuhaixing, sat among the shopkeepers of the many shopkeepers in the head, with his eyes half open and half closed, as if he had not woken up. This old guy was not simple, Xu Xiaoyun glanced at him. Others didn't know the relationship between Fuhaixing and the royal family of Xia Kingdom, but Xu Xiaoyun knew about it. He had a secret worry in his heart, and seventy-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight

"Mr. Zhao is so prestige that he is the most polite to the people. His promises should be trustworthy."

"Mr. Zhao has always valued faith and is a model for gentlemen in the world. I can naturally trust the promises of Lord Zhao. However, the court has always been destroyed and the government has stopped. This time, the Guanxi court requisitioned civilian ships, and the incident happened in a hurry. Everything the officials of the Navy discussed with us was a temporary measure. I am not worried about anything else, but I am worried that the court would not recognize these terms in the future. If so, what if "'

You Yongjie, the leader of the Four Sages, showed a sad look on his face. He pondered for a while and bowed his hand to sue Xu Xiaoyun.

"If we return to Zhongtu, the court will use the excuse to transfer Lord Zhao to another place, and the newly-command leader will refuse to admit his guilt, who should we ask for justice? If this is the case, it would be better to open the skylight from the beginning and say it will be brightened. The master will take all these ships away. We have no face to see the elders of our hometown, and have planned to go on our own way earlier and live in exile for the rest of our lives."

The ex owed debts, and the descendants did not care about it. If you want to collect the debt, please find the official in front of you. This has almost become a convention in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. The merchants on the ship have suffered more or less. You Yongjie's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves. Suddenly, many people burst into the sky and cried, and some even counted their bloody and tears lessons one by one, and the whole hall was filled with buzzing sounds.

When the assistant officials on the side saw such a "noisy court", their faces changed and they frequently asked for instructions on whether to press them.

Xu Xiaoyun had no expression on his face and patiently listened to the audience's grievances for a long time. He raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down and pondered: "Today's matter involves both sides of Guandong and Guanxi. The lower official was sent by Lord Zhao to discuss with everyone. Although he could not make a decision, Lord Zhao had something to say first. Please don't worry. If you have anything, Lord Zhao would report to Lord Zhao truthfully and ask Lord Zhao to make a decision. The lower official is not talented, and he is called Xu Tiewei, which is all empty. Lord Zhao has a pair of iron shoulders, which is indeed true. Think about it, the things in front of him are nothing compared to Lord Zhao's lonely battle, restoration of the Central Plains, quelling the rebellion of Ezhou, and Yangzhou Zhengxin Hall. You must trust Lord Zhao, even if the sky falls, Lord Zhao can bear it."

After Xu Xiaoyun said this, he glanced at the big merchants around him meaningfully and stopped talking.

"Although Lord Xu's words are good, but You Dong's concerns are not unreasonable."

Huang Yuanting, the shopkeeper of Yajiaoxing, pondered: "I wonder if there is any way to prevent the death of the people?"

"Yes, yes." "I'm looking for a complete solution."

Huang Yuanting and You Yongjie were originally among the sea merchants, but this concern even made everyone feel at ease.

Everyone in the hall started to talk.

The State of Song opened a Qing Dynasty discussion, and the prefectures and county schools elected the academic masters, local pastors and autonomous settlements, and the autonomous settlement of major affairs of prefectures and counties, the trend of discussions has become increasingly strong. Even if the sea merchants had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs running, and the discussion was lively. After a while, someone said, "Whether the terms established by Guanxi and we are replaced by people to deal with, the power is in the Guanxi court, but we have recognized Lord Zhao. No matter how the Guanxi court changed people, we will only talk to Lord Zhao." Another person said, "If the name is not correct, the words are not smooth. If the Guanxi court changed people to deal with the right to navigation and trade, Lord Zhao lost the name of disposal. Even if you go to him, it would just make Lord Zhao embarrassed." Another person sighed, "Oh, this is not OK, that is not OK, but what should I do?"

Xu Xiaoyun and You Yongjie exchanged colors, and the latter said to several surrounding sea merchants: "Everyone, Lord Zhao is invading the Central Plains, restoring the Central Plains, and quelling the rebellion of Ezhou. If you say that you are kind, you can not only convince the heroes of Guanxi, but also be one of the best people in my Song Dynasty. We are worried that the Guanxi court can replace people and prevent Lord Zhao from interfering in this matter, but in my opinion, even if the court is

The court changed the generals, and Lord Zhao was willing to help us, but what he lacked was nothing more than a status. Since the status of the court was unreliable, why don’t we jointly recommend a status so that Lord Zhao could take on this matter for us with justification.” He coughed gently and said in a more stressful tone, “Looking at the current situation, no one else can take this lead except Lord Zhao.”

"Oh?" Huang Yuanting said with great interest, "If you have any questions, why not say it out, please refer to it carefully?"

"Yes, why not say it out, everyone will take a look at it and then give me advice to Lord Zhao together."

The few who agreed were all very famous among the sea merchants. They wanted to listen to You Yongjie's detailed explanation together. The merchants around them were also driven to listen. Soon, the merchants were still talking about it just now. The merchants were the best at observing their words and expressions. Even if they were not sure about the reason, they kept looking at You Yongjie without saying a word. Tan Yuexi glanced at Xu Xiaoyun, who was looking at You Yongjie, as if he was interested in You Yongjie's proposal, and as if his proposal had nothing to do with him.

"This is not a new idea," You Yongjie said modestly, stroking his beard, "It's just that everyone is united and it's just that the gold is cut off."

"Sea trading is because of the high cost and high risk. One person and the family dare not do it and do it without the capital. People often gather all the money to buy a ship. The snake is not good at headless, especially when sailing. So everyone will introduce a person with both moral integrity and ability to serve as the leader of the rank, and take charge of all the big and small matters of ship cargo and go to sea. Many of you here are the leaders of the ranks that the elders of the hometown have high expectations." He glanced over the sea merchants who nodded subconsciously and said in a deep voice, "My suggestion, we will follow the system of recommendation of the school on land, and recommend Lord Zhao as the general leader of us, the people of the rootless ship. With this title, no matter how the name of the court changes in the future, as long as Lord Zhao is still our general leader, Lord Zhao can stand up for us and ensure that the court recognizes the right of trade and navigation we deserve."

He squatted, his eyes flashed over Xu Xiaoyun, looked at everyone, and said with a smile, "What do you think of all the great masters?"
