Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 165
Su Wanqiu felt a little tired and saw no one around, so he simply sat on the plank road and sighed softly: "You are right, this is just an artificial Grand Canal, not to mention comparing it with a seaport, even comparing it with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. How much did you go?"

Shen Yuanxi immediately sat down beside her, looked at the river and said softly: "It is true that today's seaports are deserted, but more than ten years ago, the imperial court did not ban sea trade at that time, and there were several ports in the south of the Yangtze River. Hong Kong, Quanzhou Port, etc., the real customers come like a cloud, saying that the anchored ships can’t be seen at a glance, and blond and blue-eyed foreigners can be seen everywhere on the street. The three-to-five-story giant ship you mentioned earlier, we don’t like it. Xia also has them, called dragon boats, which are really big dragon boats, far from being comparable to the dragon boats that sail on the canals today. These fleets have traveled as far as thousands of miles away. There are also countries and people in those places, and there are also adventures there. The fleet formed by those who came across the ocean and came to Daxia..."

Su Wanqiu heard that he was so absorbed in what he said, she couldn't help but turned her head to look over, and saw Shen Yuanxi looking towards the sky, his eyes were full of yearning.She smiled and said, "Tell it as if you have seen it with your own eyes."

Shen Yuanxi remained silent, looked away after a while, and said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen it in person, I have read a lot of books that record the grand events of that year. If you think about it casually, those grand and glorious scenes can emerge in your mind. "

After finishing speaking, he sighed softly: "Haimao... Haimao!"

"Su Wanqiu propped his hands back on the plank road, and said in doubt: "Speaking of it, why did the imperial court ban the sea?Now in the west...the countries you mentioned thousands of miles away, they should be dispatching a large number of people to open up sea routes and explore new lands.The kings of all dynasties paid attention to expanding the territory. In fact, the maritime domain is much wider than the land, and it cannot be taken lightly. "

"The sea is different from the land. After all, people cannot live in the sea."

Shen Yuanxi laughed, but saw Su Wanqiu sternly said: "That's not it. Although the sea can't live in people, there are endless resources in the sea, seafood comes second, and other oil... Oh, I mean, we can live on land. There are only a few countries you reach, but if you go through the sea, you can sail thousands of miles, and whoever is the sea hegemony in the future will benefit infinitely."

The way Shen Yuanxi looked at Su Wanqiu gradually changed, and in the end, his eyes were almost shining. As soon as he grabbed Su Wanqiu's hand, he said excitedly: "Su Wan, it turns out that you still have such insight, you can really be called my master." I have a confidant."

Su Wanqiu hurriedly withdrew her hand and muttered, "Who is your bosom friend? You can figure out this kind of thing if you think about it carefully. What's the problem?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Yuanxi said seriously: "No matter how many first and second rank officials in the court, they are not as far-sighted as you."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "More than ten years ago, there was a Mr. Jiang Yue who devoted himself to promoting the development of maritime trade; today, more than ten years later, the maritime trade has withered, but I don't know who will inherit his will in the future. Great Xia opened up thousands of miles of sea and territory."

Su Wanqiu said: "Isn't there still a Liang Garden? Prime Minister Liang is now in power..."

Before finishing speaking, Shen Yuanxi raised his palms and said in a deep voice: "It's a great time, even if we are talking about things that are vague and invisible, don't mention him, it's too unpleasant."

Su Wanqiu chuckled: "What the hell did Prime Minister Liang do? You hate him so much. Anyway, you saved his life before. I heard that when you met in the capital, you also had a good chat."

"It's just hypocrisy and arrogance." Shen Yuanxi snorted coldly: "He is indeed capable, no wonder he can rise to the top in the officialdom. Just don't mention it with Mr. Jiang Yue in front of me, or I will vomit in a panic."

As for the gossip about Liang Yuan and Jiang Louyue, Su Wanqiu only collected clues from all parties, and even guessed and figured out a rough idea. Now the words came to this point, because she quickly pulled Shen Yuanxi's sleeve and asked with a smile : "I've always been curious about the two of them. It just so happens that today the weather is clear, the sunset is infinite, the cool wind is calm and the water is boundless. It's time to drink with gossip and anecdotes. Uh... Although there is no wine at the moment, I still have a few packs of snacks , let’s talk while eating, why don’t you just let me know? It also saves me from asking others and causing trouble.”

Shen Yuanxi: ... "You know you will cause trouble, but you still want to ask?"

"I heard from the morning that death is inevitable. Don't you understand the truth?" Su Wanqiu stared at him, confidently: "Besides, curiosity can kill cats, let alone humans?"

"Where is the fallacy coming from?"

Although Shen Yuanxi said so, he stretched out his hand to take a bag of crispy broad beans handed over by Su Wanqiu. He threw one into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, sighed, and said softly: "Speaking of it, the Jiang family back then Young Master Yue and Liang Aliu are best friends..."

coming.

Su Wanqiu's spirit was greatly lifted: this has appeared from time to time since time travel, and it has made her scratch her head. It has been a major gossip that has been prosperous for more than ten years, and today I can finally get a glimpse of the whole picture.

"Actually, I don't know much about them, it's all hearsay."

Shen Yuanxi threw another broad bean into his mouth, and said lightly: "Mr. Jiang Yue is a genius in business, and he has already made his mark in the mall at the age of weak crown; Liang Aliu at that time was just a poor scholar, and he won Jiang Louyue's The two of them are inseparable and inseparable, so it is impossible to say who will support the other. Anyway, after a few years, Mr. Jiang Yue’s business will spread all over the world. Because he has promoted the development of sea trade, the sea trade business of the Great Xia Dynasty , nine out of ten are closely related to him..."

Speaking of this, Su Wanqiu said dumbfounded: "You always say that Mr. Jiang Yue is extremely intelligent, but I don't think so. He is extremely intelligent. How could he not know the harm of a single family? A businessman has no right, and in the eyes of the court chiefs, That's a super big fat sheep, if you don't kill him, who will you kill?"

Shen Yuanxi shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it's not that Jiang Louyue is ignorant of the great harm of his family, but for the development of Daxia Maritime Trade, he would rather take this risk. What's more, don't forget Liang Ah Liu. Then Liang Ah Six talents are high, eight fights are ingenious and unparalleled, the number one scholar in the past shocked the world, and the emperor favored him when he first entered the Hanlin Academy. Such a person, with the support of Jiang Louyue's money, will surely rise to the top in the officialdom. At that time, a talented person With money, one has the power, and the two support each other, so Jiang Louyue may not be able to keep her wealth and career."

"Is that two-phase support? It's obviously collusion between government and business."

Su Wanqiu curled her lips, and Shen Yuanxi gave her a squinting look: "You have become righteous now. There are indeed many collusions between government and businessmen, but it definitely does not include Mr. Jiang Yue. He has great ambitions, and Liang Aliu at that time was also full of it." The ambition is only to serve the country."

"Cut! Who wouldn't say good things? But they are all high-sounding."

Su Wanqiu felt that Shen Yuanxi, who seemed to be a fanboy at the moment, was a little cute, and couldn't help but want to raise an argument. Sure enough, Shen Dashao said angrily: "Do you want to listen? If you want to believe that they are bad people, I won't say anything."
