Three Lifetimes of A Soldier

Chapter 182: Prohibition of maritime orders, Japanese pirates, and smuggling

Views:

Compared with the time when they first stayed in the store, this time Shang Zhen and the others did not raise the bar any more, and Bai Yuchuan just said a few words and said nothing about the wedding candy.

"Do I know that the ship here is not allowed to travel far, should you go south or not

I just told you, then you won't leave? "

What Bai Yuchuan said is correct! As a result, Shang Zhen decisively stopped Xitang from competing with Bai Yuchuan.

But Bai Yuchuan, who finally got back a city, laughed hehe, and Xitang was stunned with anger.

"Okay, now is not the time to fight, Bai Yuchuan, tell us why the sea is banned here." After all, Shang Zhen Lao Cheng asked Bai Yuchuan seriously.

"Why should I tell you?" Bai Yuchuan was still unhappy, he didn't forget that Shang Zhen said that farting is not called farting, but called out of respect!

"Yuchuan." Nazha spoke on the sidelines, although she didn't say it clearly, but the call undoubtedly meant to beg for Shang Zhen.

Bai Yuchuan couldn't ignore Naza's plea, but he still rolled his eyes at Shang Shang and said, "What good is it for me to tell you?"

"Good." Shang Zhen laughed after thinking about it, "Wait when I get the money, I'll buy some good powder for your house. You don't need to choke your nose by smelling it."

Ok? When Shang Zhen said this, Bai Yuchuan's face, who was reluctant to do so, immediately turned cloudy and fine.

"Okay! If your kid is sensible, then I will tell you about it." Bai Yuchuan smiled.

There are two main points in what Shang Zhen said just now.

The first point is to buy powder for Nazha.

That's right, in Bai Yuchuan's eyes, the long stick of national beauty and heavenly fragrant beauty, if you use that kind of powder that will choke your nose, you will be blinded to that stick.

But the second point is even more important. People Shang Zhen said, "Nazha of your family". Well, Nazha and I belong to the same family as Bai Yuchuan. I love to hear that!

When Bai Yuchuan spoke, Shang Zhen and Xitang naturally listened with respect.

According to Bai Yuchuan, the southeast coast is no longer a matter of not allowing ships to travel far, but since the founding emperor of this dynasty has imposed a sea ban.

The founding emperor of this dynasty was also from the common people.

The pattern of the emperor from the common people is here. He even hopes that the common people all over the world will be self-sufficient, just like the "chicken and dog know each other, and die of old age".

That is the idea of a small country with few people.

So the emperor especially disliked trading.

When he wants to come, his family can weave food and build a house, eat and wear, and have a place to live and have children, that's all right!

In this way, his rule will be stable, so what else does he do for trade, especially maritime trade.

In recent years, Japanese pirates from Japan have been rampant, often going to the southeast coast to harass and rob, and there are also a lot of Chinese smuggling trades.

Then the emperor later hated sea trade even more, so naturally he would not let a piece of wood into the sea. This is the sea prohibition.

The surrounding area of Bohai Bay is nothing. Japanese pirates will hardly come over, but after waiting for the east-facing spire of the Shandong Peninsula, the Japanese pirates often visit it.

The question arises here. Was there no army in that dynasty

Of course there is, but since the Emperor Kai Dynasty, the army of this dynasty is actually called Wei Suo.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you implement the sanitation system.

But the problem is that the emperor who takes a small country and few people as the supreme philosophy of governing the country thought how much money it would cost to raise so many troops!

So the way he thought about it was to raise the army.

What is the Israeli army raising the army? That is to let the army open up its own fields to feed itself!

In this way, the army has gone to farm, marrying a wife and having a baby, so who is training!

So when the Japanese pirates came from the sea, how could the army of this dynasty be called an army? That has long since become a farmer!

What kind of combat power does such an army have, and the commander of the guard station usually patronizes and makes a fortune, and they have some private soldiers under them, that is, their private army.

This kind of private soldiers usually run rampant in the village to fight and fight, that is enough, but when faced with the vicious Japanese pirates, it is not enough.

So sometimes as soon as the Japanese pirates landed ashore, the commanders of those guards would take their private soldiers to save their lives, and those who dared to resist were very few.

In order to get promoted and make a fortune, some commanders of the guards even waited for the Japanese pirates to plunder and let the soldiers cut off the heads of the common people to pretend to lead the army.

How can I play like this? Therefore, the Japanese pirates have become more and more rampant in recent years, and even some capitals have been beaten down by the Japanese pirates!

This forms a vicious circle.

The more the imperial court was afraid of Japanese pirates, the more sea would be banned, and the common people would dare to go to sea.

But this does not mean that there are no ships at sea.

As long as it leaves the Bohai Bay, there are generally two types of ships on the sea.

One is a Japanese pirate ship, and the other is a smuggling ship from Handi.

When Bai Yuchuan talked about this, Shang Zhen and Xitang asked at the same time what smuggling was.

Bai Yuchuan also said that he didn't quite understand what smuggling was. He understood that smuggling was that the government did not allow maritime trade. As a Han Chinese, you have to do it, that is smuggling!

Shang Zhen asked, what are they smuggling? Porcelain or silk

In the understanding of Shang Zhen, what is the best thing in Handi? Of course it is porcelain and silk.

As far as Shang Zhen knows, these two things are specialties of the Han region. They are really not available in other places, or they will never be able to make such exquisite things.

But Bai Yuchuan did not answer at this time. He first despised Shang Zhen's ignorance, then he took out a copper coin from his arms and put it on the table.

What the hell is smuggling? Shang Zhen and Xitang asked.

Bai Yuchuan didn't say a word, and just tapped the coin with his finger knuckles.

"What the hell is smuggling?" Xitang was finally anxious.

"I told you everything." Bai Yuchuan is still making mysticism, but he still uses his finger knuckles to knock the coin on the outer circle and the inner square.

"Could it be a game of smuggling?" Shang Zhen asked tentatively.

"You are still smart!" Bai Yuchuan said loudly.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to pat the table, and the coin jumped up and fell back with a slight tremor.

"Ah?!" Shang Zhen and Xitang both opened their mouths and couldn't close them together.

Shang Zhen is an extremely mixed endorsement of endorsements, but there is no such content in the book he memorized.

"Do you know how much copper can be exchanged for a couple of silver now?" Bai Yuchuan asked again.

"A couple of silver can be exchanged for a thousand coins, right?" Shang Zhen replied hesitantly.

According to the laws of the dynasty, that one or two silver can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins, this Shang Zhen knows.

But when he saw Bai Yuchuan asking this, he couldn't be sure that it was a certainty.

"In fact, it can't be changed. In fact, one or two silver can be exchanged for seven or eight hundred copper coins." Bai Yuchuan said.

"Why?" Xitang asked.

"Don't ask why, I don't know!" Bai Yuchuan said with air.

The wedding candy is silent.

Bai Yuchuan is particularly happy to see Shang Zhen and Xitang. Of course, it is mainly Xitang's appearance that the country folks have no experience when entering the city.

After enjoying this beautiful feeling for a while, he asked mysteriously: "Guess, how many coins can be exchanged for a couple of silver in Japan, that is, the Japanese pirates?"

Shang Zhen and Xitang shook their heads at the same time.

What Bai Yuchuan said today is far beyond the scope of their knowledge.

They can't think of it even if they think about it, and they are all blind and foolish, and they can only make Bai Yuchuan jokes.

"In Japan, one or two silver can be exchanged for less than three hundred copper coins." Bai Yuchuan said, and then looked at Shang Zhen and Xitang.

After a while, he asked, "What will you do if you replace it with the two of you?"

"Bring our Handi copper coins to Japan to exchange for silver, and then bring the goods back, or just bring the silver back, so that you can make money directly!" Shang Zhen suddenly replied loudly.

"Okay! Your kid looks awkward, but this head has a quick response!" Bai Yuchuan Chong Shangzhen pointed his thumb up.
