open sea

Chapter 91 Snow Wine
The imperial court does not allow common people to communicate with barbarians.

In the past, Chen Mu had learned the word 'closing the country', but in fact this word is wrong.

Closing the door and closing the country is a word imposed on China from the perspective of the British.According to the consistent policy of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a sea ban.

The ban on the sea is for the people, not the officials.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has always had exploration and cooperation trade with various countries, and silk and porcelain can be sold as far away as East and West.

The so-called Longqing switch only allowed private smugglers, which were originally prohibited, to be allowed in Yuegang.

Speaking of which, Zeng Yiben, the Japanese pirate who is making a lot of trouble in Fujian, even helped Mr. Chen a little bit. If it wasn't because of their troubles in Fujian, Governor Tu Zemin probably wouldn't have decided to open the seaport in Meiling on Yue port.

Years ago in Qingyuan, Chen Mu sent someone to look for Shao Tingda, but because the road to the war had been closed, he could only give up.

He could only pray in his heart, praying that Shao Tingda's purchase of a farm and house in Yuegang would go well. Even if it didn't go well, it would be a great joy for Shao Tingda to return safely.

"Chen is not Jinyiwei, shopkeeper, you don't have to be afraid, just tell Chen what the people think about the barbarians in Haojing." Chen Mu took the Qianhu waist card and showed it to the shopkeeper, saying: "Xiangshan Qianhu, Does anyone dare to counterfeit this tooth card?"

To be honest, there are not no fake tooth cards, but such a grandiose place is really rare.

"Little citizen Yan Qing, adults from thousands of households must not be polite." Yan Qing's accent was not like Guangren's, with a tone of northern dialect, carefully looked at Chen Mu and several banner officials and family members around him, and then whispered Said: "Fanyi are not good people, and everyone who doesn't know etiquette is evil. Just outside Guangcheng, there are many Xiangshan rogues, actors and prostitutes who take advantage of them and lure women to go abroad!"

Yan Qing sighed, "The women from the Zuojin peasant family never came back, and my father and brother reported to the government but no one cares about them. How dare you get angry and dare not speak up!"

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and frowned and asked, "And this thing, Fan Yi lures and sells the people of Ming Dynasty?"

He knew about the black triangle trade, and he also knew that these explorers and colonists from the west were not good things, but he never expected that these people would dare to stand on the land of Ming Dynasty and sell Ming Dynasty women for profit?

"These are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, so the court doesn't care? How many have you heard?"

"A dozen times?" Yan Qing didn't dare to say, but shook his head silently, his words were full of bitterness: "It's beyond the reach of the whip, the government only looks at the high taxes paid by the barbarians, and takes profits from it. How can they take these things into consideration?"

As he said that, Yan Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked Chen Mu, "Master Qianhu, are you going to be appointed to the Xiangshan Qianhu Office?"

Chen Mu nodded while addressing Yuandao: "Go out and get a charcoal pencil and some paper."

"No, there is one in the shop, wait for Xiaomin to bring it to Lord Jun."

Fu Yuan who had already got up sat down again, Yan Qing went to get the pen and paper, Chen Mu asked the left and right: "What do you think about this?"

"Huh?" Fu Yuan's face was dull, "What's the matter?"

Qi Zhengyan also didn't care, and didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Long Junxiong, who usually doesn't speak much, said in a low voice, "Fan Yi should be killed."

At this moment, Chen Mu suddenly realized that Fan Yi, who wanted to know Hao Jing Ao, had found the wrong person. He obviously had Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, two old Japanese pirates who had been in Japan for many years, by his side!

"Both of you, have you seen those Fanyi?"

"Japanese people, Frangji people, red-haired man, Japanese people call them Nanman people." Qi Zhengyan laughed and said, "Hao Jing should be them too. They are all maritime merchants without kings and fathers, and they are very dark-hearted."

The Japanese are naturally Japanese, the Franji people are Portuguese and Spanish, and the red-haired man is Dutch.

Of course, this is only based on geographical divisions. In fact, there was no such country as the Netherlands in this era. The so-called Netherlands is only a few races of the Germanic tribes in the Netherlands. It is called Hongyi or Hongmaofan.

"There are also black fans, tall and strong. They can be sold to whomever they are sold by the barbarians." Long Junxiong added: "Qianhu, you can buy some black fans and use them as soldiers to dare to die."

Hei Fan, needless to say, was talking about black people. These African natives were bought and sold by Europeans like livestock. They should hate Europeans more than Chen Mu.

He was very disgusted with the black slave trade, so he didn't answer the conversation. He was about to ask a question and saw Yan Qing come back with a pen and paper. Tell me what the warship looks like on the way back to Qingyuan."

"Chen Qianhu, here you go."

When the pen and paper arrived, Chen Mu wrote down the matter of Fan Yi's lure and sale of women without saying a word, put the paper in his arms, and said to the two Japanese pirates: "Goodbye Xiangshan Ling, remember to let me tell him about it."

Just as he was talking, Yan Qingyao brought drinks and said with a smile: "Master Chen Jun, the snow wine from Yangzhou is here, and two jugs usually sell for two taels."

When it came to the price, the boy deliberately dragged out a long tone, repeatedly reminding Chen Mu not to forget to pay for the wine, really.

Chen Mu didn't know what to say about this eccentric and contrasting little girl, so he looked at the shopkeeper Yan Qing with a dumbfounded smile and said, "Boss Yan's daughter is really interesting."

"Uncle Yan is not my father!"

Chen Mu only said one sentence, but the servant stomped his foot vigorously, turned around and ran away.

"This……"

"Qingyao, Qingyao!" Yan Qing yelled twice, but couldn't call out the servant, so she turned around and confessed to Chen Mu, "Chen Qianhu Haihan, Qingyao doesn't know etiquette, collided..."

Chen Mu shook his head, showing impatience because of his constant accusations, and said, "There's nothing to offend, isn't she your daughter?"

Just now Chen Mu heard Yan Qing calling 'Qingyao'. There is no daughter in the world with the same name as her father, but Yan Qing is always the younger daughter, and the younger daughter is shorter, which made Chen Mu very curious.

"Thousands of households must have heard that Xiaomin's accent is not from Cantonese. To be honest, we are from Nanjing." Yan Qing cupped his hands and said, "Miss is an official. In charge of the family, the masters are not involved in the change, they just take the young lady through the hole and walk away, depending on each other for life."

"I don't dare to go back to Nanjing. I am afraid that the young lady will think about others when she sees things. She will live in Qingyao, Yangzhou and be abducted by others. Xiaomin searched for her in Yangzhou for six years before finding her again."

Chen Mu took the case, "The little girl has been lost once, so why don't you hurry up and look for it, why are you talking to Chen here!"

How did he know that Yan Qing wouldn't dare to leave if he didn't take good care of him? Eight rough men with knives on their waists, and a thousand households with them, set fire to his wine shop and dared not speak.Seeing Chen Mu's agreement, Bazuer ran out to find the child.

Chen Mu also wanted to look for it, and sat back halfway through getting up, "Let's not make more trouble, the child will not be lost by then, and we Qingyuan people will be lost again!"

He propped his chin to drink the bowl of wine, and said: "The shopkeeper is a loyal man."
