Chapter 350
Many people in later generations came into contact with this song "Linjiang Immortal" for the first time at the beginning of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

But in fact, Yang Shengan, the author of this poem, was born more than 100 years later.

The son of the chief assistant, the number one scholar in the dynasty, had not had time to display his talents, but because he was involved in the "Great Ritual Discussion", he was sent to Yunnan by the unbearable young Daoist's court staff several times.

In the third year of Jiajing's reign, he was escorted all the way to Jiangling wearing shackles by sergeants. When he crossed the Yangtze River by boat, he saw the surging river and the green mountains in the distance. Two white-haired fishermen on the boat were drinking and chatting.He couldn't help being deeply moved, thinking of his own experience, filled with emotion for a moment, and wrote this famous poem "Linjiang Immortal".

Later, when Mao Zonggang revised "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he used it as the opening speech.Because it is so suitable, as if it was tailor-made for the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

This poem is also a lore for Luo Guanzhong, because it seems to be telling his life.At least Teacher Luo thinks so.

So his desire for the second half of Que can be imagined.

"What about next?" Seeing that he was indifferent, Luo Guanzhong urged.

"Next, I seem to have forgotten." But Zhu Zhen put down the brush, admiring his own handwriting, whether he should say it or not, he has grown too much.

"Fuck..." Teacher Luo burst into foul language.

"Sir, if you tell me more about those things you know, I will definitely remember them." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You also know that inspiration needs to collide."

"You really..." Luo Guanzhong was furious, but still unable to resist the temptation below, he said helplessly:
"Okay, let me say. In fact, the Department of Shipbuilding and Shipbuilding was already ineffective in the Yuan Dynasty. The reason is that the administrative capacity of the Yuan Dynasty was too poor to supervise smuggling. The officials from top to bottom were corrupt and did not care National interests are at heart. Maritime merchants find that as long as they buy officials and find a good umbrella, they can smuggle unscrupulously and pay taxes? What a fart!"

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "This is similar to what I learned. Then?"

"Later Zhang Sijiu occupied Jiangnan, and he didn't care about anything. The sea merchants naturally supported him and hoped that he would continue to rule." Luo Guanzhong continued:
"Zhang Sijiu was able to resist for so long with a single state, and it was inseparable from the maritime merchants who continued to deliver supplies to him. Later, Zhang Sijiu was defeated, and those maritime merchants knew that they would not end well, so they fought with Zhang Sijiu's remnants Retiring to the island, while continuing to confront the imperial court, while continuing to monopolize maritime trade."

"So, those who monopolize the sea are still those people?" The sixth child is very good at focusing on the key points.

"Basically. A lot of people must have died over the years, but generally speaking, it's still that group of people." Luo Guanzhong nodded.

"Good boy. But they can't go ashore, who should they buy goods from, and who should they ship goods to?" Zhu Zhen asked: "Who do you rely on for personnel replenishment and material replenishment?"

"Hehe." Luo Guanzhong said with a chuckle: "I can only tell Your Highness that, from the Song Dynasty to the present two to three hundred years, the entire south of the Yangtze River has been in the shape of maritime trade. All walks of life, every household, all Directly or indirectly rely on maritime trade. The Haoyou family uses it to make huge profits. The common people depend on it for their livelihood. Your Highness thinks, do maritime merchants need to worry about these issues you raised?"

"No need." Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile, "The whole Jiangnan belongs to them."

After a pause, Lao Liu said again: "So the Shibo Department of this dynasty can't be opened?"

"That's right. The whole of Jiangnan is smuggling. It's nothing more than the Shibo Department. How can the court get a piece of the action?" Luo Guanzhong said lightly.

"Why has no one reported these issues to the imperial court? Even if people from the south of the Yangtze River are involved in smuggling, how about those local officials, they are officials from other places, why do they turn a blind eye? Could it be that they are all in the same boat?" the sixth child asked incredulously.

"Didn't your father kill the officials from other places..." Luo Guanzhong teased.

"Mr. Luo, don't say that. My old man will regret killing Wei Guan." Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Besides, there are so many officials, someone will report it, right?"

"That's right, with so many officials, someone will report it, right?" Luo Guanzhong repeated in a strange tone, and asked quietly, "Then why didn't your father know about it?"

This is very clear - all memorials in the world must be delivered to the Ministry of Education, and Boss Zhu can only read what the Ministry of Education gives to Boss Zhu.Boss Zhu would naturally not be able to see if Zhongshu Province refused to give it.

"You mean..." Zhu Zhen swallowed and said, "They were suppressed by Zhongshu Province. Are you so bold?"

"Otherwise." Luo Guanzhong said with a smirk: "Being able to listen to some people's nonsense and easily shut down various bureaus means that you have been kept in the dark for so many years."

"Fuck..." Lao Liu couldn't help but swear.

In fact, he had already guessed something, otherwise, with his father's lack of money, how could he easily let go of the cash cow of Shibosi?
He suddenly thought of another level: "Such a blatant large-scale smuggling, I'm afraid it can't be hidden from the general officer of the Japanese army on Chongming Island? And the commanders of the coastal guards everywhere, don't buy these people , how can you smuggle happily?"

"I don't know about this, and I don't want to talk nonsense." Luo Guanzhong said lightly: "Just looking at the past, it is really inconvenient to smuggle if you don't bribe the officers and soldiers."

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen couldn't sit still anymore, got up and paced back and forth, "Don't care about them, it's always right for the enemy to be lenient."

"That is to say, the whole of Jiangnan has been boarded by their bandits. From the local government to the imperial court, from the government to the army, they have their protective umbrella. The whole system is very complete, and needles and water can't get in." He said. With a wry smile on his face, he said:
"That's why the master said that it's useless to reopen the Shibo Department."

"Exactly." Luo Guanzhong nodded and said: "This system has extremely strong vitality, so it will be reborn very quickly in Daming. Anyone who wants to take food from the tiger's mouth will face the counterattack of the entire system. If you wait for the imperial envoy, you will definitely be smashed to pieces .Of course, as a prince, His Royal Highness will not, at most, he will be bleeding."

"Sir, you have too much ambition for others, and you are destroying your prestige!" Zhu Zhen stood still, raised his thick eyebrows, and stared at his round eyes, saying:

"Speaking of breaking the sky, it is to help the smugglers who can't see the light! At most, add a few umbrellas! It's like invincible? How is it possible? This king doesn't believe in this evil!"

As he spoke, he said to Luo Guanzhong: "I have sent people to invite all the big families in the south of the Yangtze River to Zhenjiang. When I get back, I will meet them for a while!"

"Really?" Luo Guanzhong couldn't help being startled, if His Highness didn't fool himself, it means that he has already realized the crux of the problem, and really intends to solve this problem.

"No one dares not to give this king this face, and everyone who should come has come." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will have to be accompanied by an old acquaintance, sir."

"Oh, okay." Luo Guanzhong nodded helplessly.Now I don't know how many old acquaintances are going to poke my spine.

"If they don't add a pair of chopsticks to this king, then don't eat this bowl of rice from Haimao!" Zhu Zhen slammed his fist on the table, resolutely.
