It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 183 How Can the Cook Rebel?
The port was crowded with people.

Not only the aristocratic families who loaded the goods, but also many coastal people.

After all, going to sea to steer a ship requires a lot of boatmen.

Some of the inland aristocratic families that have invested in shares, although they have a large family and a large family, have many family members.

But most of them don't understand maritime affairs.

Moreover, if you go to sea with your cronies, it is easy to lose money and money.

In case the boat capsizes and many relatives and family members are killed or injured, wouldn't the family be ruined directly?
It's better to recruit some coastal people and take the boat out to sea.

On the one hand, they are more familiar with maritime affairs, and on the other hand, they are safer.

If there is someone who is attractive, it can be recruited for a long time.

This kind of large-scale employment has undoubtedly promoted the employment of coastal people.

The benefits brought by going to sea are not only the profits from trade.

In an emerging industry, every link in it is a benefit.

"Your Majesty, if you let the people of the family hire boatmen and build ships, will it be too late?"

Fu Xuance was a little worried.

There are people, there are boats, what if seeing the huge profits at sea, they go out to sea and become pirates?
Liu Ke just glanced in Gan Wenjin's direction.

"Hahaha!!
Gan Wenjin burst out laughing.

What other pirates can be snatched than the Dahan Navy?

Not to mention the brothers under his command, he was originally a pirate who was transferred from the first tyrant of the South China Sea.

It is said that the sailors trained by the emperor himself were also trained in the way of pirates.

The hook lock is more pirate than pirate.

What kind of pirate can be wilder than the Dahan navy?

However, Liu Ke still took Fu Xuance's proposal to heart.

No rules, no standards.

If you want the sea trade to be on the right track and become a great cause for thousands of years, after the initial barbaric growth, you must formulate strict rules and regulations.

"It's a bit chaotic and unorganized, but it's understandable for me to start the sea trade with no experience."

Among the crowd at the port, an old man looked up a few times.

In fact, when Jia Wuji heard that the emperor planned to go to Luzon in person, he still didn't understand.

I thought the emperor hadn't found out about his suggestion of cultivating health and rest.

After thinking about it calmly for a while.

Why is going to sea not considered as a cultivation of health and rest?
As long as others cultivate their health and rest, and then hand over all the money and food to me, it means that I have cultivated my health and rest.

And this time I went to sea, I used a family.

There are some similarities with the previous acquisition of Jiaozhou and the use of stocks to raise grain.

Even the sailors are used as guards by family merchant ships in the name of employment.

The aristocratic family bears all the money and food expenses.

The emperor just rubbed a boat.

Except for policies, the imperial court did not spend a penny.

Waiting for the income from sea trade to come out, you can still collect taxes.

"It's just that the old man is old, and he has no chance to take a look at the sea."

Jia Wuji was a little curious about Haimao.

But at this age, going to sea is really inconvenient.

The wind and waves are big, and the risk factor is too high.

And after staying among the people for a while, life is much more free than that in the court.

After the navy went out to sea to catch kuns, and the ecological survey cleared up the land, the lives of the common people are improving visibly with the naked eye.

In case of being recognized by the emperor on the ship, he would have to be arrested and returned to the court to work.

"Old man Jia, why can't you buy stocks this time around?"

A peasant man next to Jia Wuji muttered, his expression was aggrieved.

The imperial court does not sell stocks, and seeing another bumper harvest, the millet and rice are kept at home, and they cannot have babies, so it is a big loss!

"It's okay, you go out to sea with the fleet, it's fine if you don't."

"Your land, wife and son, the old man will help you, don't worry."

The man thought for a while, nodded and said:
"Then I'll trouble you. The fleet gives you a lot of money, and if you can earn a fortune, it's a fortune."

"Old man Jia, if you think my incompetent son can learn something, please teach him a thing or two."

Jia Wuji nodded.

He doesn't really want to go to sea, but it doesn't prevent him from fooling others to go to sea and help him find out news.

Then, based on the news we got, we can see if we can formulate corresponding strategies.

He also wanted to have a sense of participation in this century-old project.

Anyway, it has been infamous for thousands of years, and I don't care whether there will be other records in the history books.

As for how to let the imperial court see his Hai Ce, for him, there are too many ways.

As for the farmer's son
"Alright."

The life of the people is very comfortable, and the days are getting sweeter and sweeter.

It's not bad to take in a disciple when you are free.

And the boy, though he stuttered, was quite intelligent and interesting.

In a few days, the fleet had already set out to sea.

"Everyone, don't be careless. After leaving Qiongzhou, it will not be so safe."

"Those overseas barbarians are all rebellious."

"This Luzon is not like Jiaozhi, accepting my Chinese culture."

"They are just like the Donghu barbarians, they only have money in their eyes."

"When it's time to intimidate, don't be soft-hearted."

"Everything is for the late emperor!!"

Liu Ke told the sailors and family members.

At the same time, I reiterated it again, for the sake of the first emperor.

Begging Yan Sirie's last plan is actually really good, as long as the body is kept in Qiongzhou, it will never be found.

It will continue to attract the coveted eyes of Donghu Babu.

So Liu Ke chose to copy directly.

In addition to the benefits of doing business at sea, he also put a layer of skin on Haimao to find the remains of the late emperor.

It appears to be more politically correct.

It is estimated that his father's body has already sunk to the bottom along the ocean current.

But it does not hinder the use of residual heat.

Everything is for righteousness!

The entire fleet, if you count all the boatmen, there are 5 to [-] people.

If the aristocratic family did not pay for a fleet of this size to go to sea, it would be really unaffordable for today's small imperial court.

But it is precisely because of the huge size of the fleet.

All the people of the aristocratic family even vaguely hoped in their hearts, seeing if they could meet pirates or something.

The emperor said it all, you can't be soft-hearted.

Just grab it first. Trade with pirates first, and get some meat.

As for not giving money to pirates, that's also normal.

Doing business with thieves, where is the use of money?

Besides, they spent a lot of money to hire sailors, and they didn't let the sailors use their knives, and they always felt at a loss in their hearts.

as for the danger
At first, the members of the family were worried about the wind and waves at sea.

But the emperor ordered that their ships be transformed.

All were hung with broken wheels and carved with donkey heads.

It is also necessary to put a rope on the rudder to connect the boats.

At that time, they thought that this was the characteristic of a big man.

It is a sinister method to force them and make them feel more belonging to the big man without knowing it, so that they can obey the imperial court.

It is a kind of subtle NTR, which is PUA.

But at this time, they realized the profound meaning.

The emperor has destiny.

Fortunately.

In the battle with the [-] sailors of the Puliuru Department, the emperor even drove the building boat and crashed into the building ship of the Puliuru Department.

After falling into the water, no hair was damaged.

He just followed the current and floated back.

There are even rumors among the people that the reason why the late emperor dived into the water was to drink and build relationships with the Dragon King, so as to protect the current emperor.

It is not a lie to realize the Tao in the forest farm, the sage and the son of heaven!

After the ships are connected together with ropes, they become a whole.

If the Dragon King wants to protect the Son of Heaven, he can only protect all the ships together.

Since they went out to sea, they have encountered several big waves.

But even the kind of small boat that can't stand the wind and rain doesn't sink.

And even more incredible.

Whether it is a big boat or a small boat, the sailing speed is unexpectedly harmonious.

The small boat can keep up with the stability of the big boat, and the big boat can keep up with the speed of the small boat.

Under this kind of Fleet of Destiny, if you encounter pirates, you will run over them without worrying at all.

Even many aristocratic families have already figured out how to make longer ropes.

The emperor reckoned, and went to sea with them this time.

From now on, they will have to work hard on their own.

Without the protection of the emperor's destiny, what should I do if I encounter a storm?
But if there is a long enough rope, the emperor can directly lead it from the palace, cross the sea all the way, and never sink.

As long as the ship does not sink, maritime trade has no risk and is full of benefits!
Just can't find a long enough rope.

"Is this the sea? It's really magnificent."

He Hong couldn't help clenching his fists.

He stood on the deck, looking at the vast sea level in the distance, not daring to slack off.

He boarded the boat with him, and there were quite a few servants of the He family.

But these servants who are not good at water are already vomiting and listless.

These are all processes that must be experienced for those who go to sea for the first time.

It is very likely that one or two months, or even the entire sea trip, will be spent in such a situation.

Not to mention the people from these well-to-do families.

Even the Forbidden Army back then had experienced such a thing.

He Hong is an exception.

It's not that he's used to it, but he can bear it.

If you vomit, you will suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort and depression.

He Hong is not willing!

He can't wait to become one with the ship and guarantee the interests of the He family.

Almost blindfolded day and night.

How is it possible to let yourself be negligent in controlling the ship because of the swaying?
So he forcibly endured it.

Nausea?

I will endure.

He held his breath and held back severely.

I couldn't help it, and I had to swallow it with all my might.

His almost masochistic method actually did it, quickly adapting to the wind and waves at sea.

Liu Ke was also filled with emotion:

"I heard from He Kun earlier that his younger brother is nothing but a waste."

"I also thought that He Hong might experience a lot of discomfort when he went to sea. This trip is equivalent to bringing an extra burden."

"I didn't expect that this He Hong would perform so well. This really makes me quite gratified!"

"He Hong is indeed capable."

Fu Xuance's words were not out of He Kun's face, flattering He Hong.

He really admired him, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

Yue Shaoqian once said a word, if a big man is about to perish, Yue must die first.

Put it on He Hong, that is, if the ship sinks, He Hong will die first.

The cargo on board was almost half of He Hong's net worth.

Let him watch the ship sink, empty and empty.

It was worse than killing him.

Normal people may really not understand what a miser can do for money.

He Hong is doing his best, constantly refreshing the bottom line.

Let's just say it's seasick and vomiting.

Even the general of the navy, Gan Wenjin, was still dizzy on the big ship, and there was nothing he could do.

But He Hong, relying on this hard-core method, quickly adapted to it.

And getting used to it is not for comfort.

It's to keep yourself in shape, to be able to keep an eye on the wind and waves and the ship at all times.

Whenever someone slipped their hands when carrying goods, he would scold him for a while.

No matter how big or small, every possibility that the goods may be damaged may be tightly held.

Although the ability is not good, in the case of working hard, regardless of his own safety, day and night.

Zhilue, who is in his early 50s, can be used by him in his [-]s and [-]s.

When people from other aristocratic families were still vomiting and feeling unwell.

He Hong was already swallowing his vomit, wishing he could sleep day and night with the goods in his arms.

"I still have some experience in the utilization of waste."

Liu Ke was really moved when he saw that He Hong had dark circles under his eyes.

Straw bales are also useful for straw bales.

This straw bag No. [-] is very well done.

He even set an example for the aristocratic families.

But No. [-] idiot Liu Yin vomited so frighteningly.

Swaying on the boat, seasickness is already uncomfortable.

But Liu Yin still couldn't let go of the wine jar.

Spit a mouthful, drink a mouthful.

The more you vomit, the more you need to irrigate.

Liu Yin's idea is very simple.

Every time I drink too much, sometimes I can't spit it out, and the next day, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, like heartburn, very uncomfortable.

But if you get seasick at sea, you can drink without fear of not being able to spit it out.

Liu Ke really had nothing to say to this idiot nephew.

But He Hong's performance is getting better and better.

He can solve the wind and waves at sea.

What Liu Ke is most afraid of is the group of children from aristocratic families who go to sea, who obviously don't understand anything, but still insist on pretending to be experts.

Don't even want to command blindly, and punish a dude.

But with He Hong around, there is nothing to worry about.

Now all the boats are connected by ropes, a grasshopper on a rope.

He Hong will not sit back and watch other people mess around.

Once there is a problem with other cargo, he will definitely be implicated, and he will have a share of the profits of the entire caravan if he mixes the shares.

Either be polite, easy-going and polite, or force coercion, coercion and temptation.

In addition, the somewhat well-known Beipu He family behind him actually suppressed the children of those aristocratic families.

He Hong is even more concerned about the safety of the voyage than the navy, the officials of the court, and Liu Ke himself.

Especially after forcibly swallowing the vomit and getting used to it very quickly.

Brother He Kun's explanation, how to become famous, how to make friends with sailors and aristocratic families, he really doesn't necessarily care about it.

But for the goods on board and the interests of maritime trade, he will never allow the slightest loss.

Presumably, if someone dropped a penny into the sea, He Hong would want to jump down to pick it up immediately!

After a long long sea voyage, the port of Luzon finally appeared in front of everyone.

In front of the harbor is a bay with tall rocks shaped like wooden pestles.

The local aborigines call it losung, which is why Luzon got its name.

The sparkling blue water seems to be inlaid with countless shining gems.

The breeze blows over the sea, forming tiny ripples, embellishing the reflection of the sun dazzlingly and beautifully.

You can vaguely see three or five fishing boats.

Whether it was a boatman from a commoner background or an aristocratic family, they all couldn't help exclaiming, full of joy and excitement.

Some people immediately stopped what they were doing and stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them.

Their eyes widened in unconcealable excitement.

Some people opened their mouths wide and hesitated to speak, as if they couldn't find the right words to describe their mood at the moment.

Those like He Hong, who only had money in their eyes, even ran to the side of the boat and stretched their necks.

It seems that you want to see the whole scene of Luzon.

He Hong had dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't dare to sleep.

At this time, tears rolled in the eyes.

Relief and emotion were intertwined on his face, and his hands were trembling involuntarily.

The most difficult voyage is over.

The next thing is just buying and selling, how can it be hard to stop them? ! !

Even the drunk Liu Yin was stunned.

The vast sea was easily conquered by the big man?

Although it is not too far from Qiongzhou to Luzon, there are frequent storms.

But it was a ship, so there was no loss.

It's just that there are some goods that are stained with water.

Liu Ke looked at everything with a smile.

The hooks are all turned on. If something goes wrong again, the system will be ashamed.

"Fu Aiqing, you sent someone to deliver my letter, saying that we are here for business."

"We and the people of Luzon, we should start with a fair market and get in touch with each other slowly, and we will have a better situation in the future."

Liu Ke went to sea in person, and still had the intention of serving as an interpreter.

Luzon is different from Cochin in that it completely belongs to foreign countries. After years of development, it has its own set of culture and language, and it does not speak Chinese at all.

The fate of international students is handy in this regard.

However, in the future sea trade, language is indeed a trouble.

It seems that we have to find a way to extract some emperor's destiny who are proficient in multiple languages.

Then the fate of multiple languages ​​​​is synthesized, and the book is written directly.

No matter how bad it is, according to the translation in the book, jumping out word by word, plus pointing fingers, is enough.

After Fu Xuance received the letter, he went to arrange staff.

Although he didn't quite know how the emperor met so many strange people who mastered the language of the kingdom when he was among the people.

But it is not important.

Dealing with Luzon is different from dealing with Cozhi, and you don't need to use force when you come up.

Unlike Jiaozhi, which originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, it was also the country of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Song basically had no communication with the big man. If he forced his troops, the big man would have no reason.

If you can use force, try not to use force.

And with Luzon's strength, there is no need to preemptively strike.

The Navy was the last to attack, took advantage of the reason, and directly pushed the national treasury flat, robbing you of the Luzon treasury, and other foreign countries have nothing to say.

Even, maybe there is no need for the court to come forward.

It is not the Han Dynasty court that goes to sea, but the Han Chamber of Commerce.

There are also many aristocratic families who have invested in the shares.

The imperial court just dominates.

There really were Luzon natives who didn't know how to live or die, and the aristocratic families spontaneously joined shoulder to shoulder.

Blocking people's money is like killing your parents.

These aristocratic families are all waiting for the profits from the sea trade to subsidize the land tax!

Of course, if Luzon is not even willing to allow caravans to move in, and is not willing to trade freely.

The Han Navy doesn't mind showing off the demeanor of the world's police and suppressing pirates off the coast of Luzon.

Pirates, they can't be suppressed.
-
The nominal ruler of the entire Luzon Island is King Rosher.

This title has been used for generations.

The lineage of King Luoshe came from Boni Island further south, and was related to the ruling family of Boni.

The capital of Luzon, south of the Port of Manila, is known as Batangas.

It is estimated that whoever shot eight arrows here hit the wild goose, hence the name.

Compared with such things as killing two birds with one arrow, shooting a stone tiger with one arrow, and fixing Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, it is enough to see that Lu Song's martial arts are not abundant.

King Roser sits on the throne, and he has received the letter.

He frowned, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

It's not impossible to do business.

But the big man brought a caravan of 5 to [-] people. A trade of this scale is not a trivial matter.

There are gold mines in Luzon, a lot of gold mines.

The lineage of King Luoshe was originally the ruler of Boni Island, who was sent to mine gold mines.

With the porcelain and silk of the Han Dynasty, it is easy to take away the gold.

At that time, the outflow of Luzon's gold will easily rise to the level of affecting the country's destiny.

King Luoshe stood up and paced in the hall of the palace, his steps seemed very heavy.

The courtiers stepped aside one after another, feeling the tension in the boss's heart.

They couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in their hearts.

That's a big man!

Since the new emperor of the big man came to the throne, even the Donghu people have been beaten to the point of barking.

Donghu Great Khan was killed in battle.

How can they have the heart of confrontation?
King Roser glanced at the surrounding courtiers.

I saw worry and tension written on everyone's face.

He almost said surrender.

Luzon had been looted by pirates like Sun Zhien before.

What's more, what about the Han Navy that recruited the pirates under Sun Zhien?
"What are your thoughts?"

King Roser still couldn't help asking questions and brainstorming, which is better than worrying alone.

The courtiers saluted one after another and expressed their opinions.

"Although it is nominally a caravan for business, there are actually too many people."

"Also ask Your Majesty to strengthen armaments and border defenses to protect the country's security."

"But at the same time, establishing a friendly relationship with the big man can also bring certain benefits, exchange what is needed, and mutual benefit."

"As for the pros and cons, we need to be more cautious and weigh them again and again."

In general, there are two factions. One is the big Han threat faction, who thinks that the big Han who is too strong will pose a threat to the Luzon regime.

The other faction, the Kaihai faction, felt that this was a rare trade opportunity.

Because of its geographical advantages, Luzon has enough food to eat, and other bells and whistles are nothing.

King Luoshe pondered for a moment. As a ruler, he had to come up with his own decision.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. Facing the ministers, his voice was firm and decisive:

"The order to strengthen the armament is to prevent pirates."

"At the same time, we will also establish friendly relations with Dahan, but we must remain vigilant to ensure that our interests in Luzon will not be harmed."

He chose to do both at the same time, which also fulfilled the wishes of the two factions.

Anyway, definitely can't stop the big man's boat.

Jiaozhi just wanted to stop the ship, but was "invaded by pirates".

King Roshe thought about it, and his voice was low and severe:
"In addition, immediately send someone to contact the big man, and at the same time investigate the real intention of the big man."

"If you want to call at the port, you can."

"It's okay to do business, but the scale of the business must be limited."

King Roser has some sharp eyesight.

It's just a small-scale trade, but it's nothing.

But it is really going to be a large-scale trade by the Han people, exchanging porcelain, silk and so on for a lot of gold, grain, and some strategic materials, which is not worth the loss.

And he also knew that the big man used the exchange market to deal with the South Vietnamese natives.

The mutual market between the two sides directly made the South Vietnamese natives have a good impression of the big man.

Thus assisting the big man to break through Jiaozhi.

The natives of Luzon, although unlike the natives of South Vietnam, have received Han culture and are more likely to be Sinicized.

But if it goes on for a long time, it will definitely be affected.

Then, his lineage of King Luoshe's dominance over Luzon will inevitably decline.

This is something he will never allow.

"Then who should be sent to contact the big man?"

"I heard that this time, it is the emperor of the Han Dynasty who will personally lead the caravan trade. The candidate needs to be carefully considered."

King Roser thought about it.

"Let Prigo take 2000 people to Manila."

The officials were stunned for a while.

This Prigo, they knew.

On weekdays, he is responsible for three meals a day for King Luo She.

At the same time, he also acted as a servant during some important banquets, such as when some big figures in Boni Island were entertained.

I have seen many important people, and they belong to the confidants of King Luo She, and the two have known each other since childhood.

In terms of etiquette towards the Han emperor, there shouldn't be any problems.

But also give military power
However, King Luoshe resisted all opinions and chose Prigo.

With Prigo's ability, he can ascertain the big man's intentions.

More importantly, be faithful enough.

If it were any other general, whether he could beat the Dahan navy or not be suppressed as a pirate would be the next best thing.

Since the big man is at the height of his power, if there is a little trouble, he will lead his soldiers on the spot and vote together.

Only Prigo.

King Rose felt that even if all the ministers in the palace rebelled, it was impossible for Prigo to rebel.

And there is no food supply in Manila.

As long as he restricts Prigo's forage in Batangas, there is no need to worry that Prigo and his soldiers have other intentions.

As for the objection of the ministers, it is also normal.

After all, seeing Prigo as a cook, taking on such an important task, it is easy to make people jealous if he is one step ahead of them and approaching the big man.

But just fine.

The more mutual jealousy, the more able to balance the power of both sides.

King Luo She also didn't want to see that his subjects had more power, and a monarch must know how to check and balance.

Ever since, he tried his best to resist all opinions, and had a lot of trust in Prigona:

"A mere cook, even with soldiers, can he rebel?"
