Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 166
"Okay, okay, I won't interrupt, you say what you say."

Su Wanqiu waved his hands again and again, Shen Yuanxi snorted coldly and turned his head away, suddenly heard a "puchi" laugh beside him, turned his head, Su Wanqiu was covering his mouth, seeing him looking over, he put down his hands and straightened his back, put on a straight face and sat listening attentively like.

Shen Yuanxi gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to resentfully said: "Anyway, that was the situation they were in back then. In the Great Xia at that time, it was true that all nations were flourishing. No one would have thought that this prosperity would only last for a few years. It stopped abruptly."

He sighed: "As you said, with the development and growth of the sea trade, Jiang Louyue was in the limelight for a while. How could such a huge source of money not be missed by those court officials? Gradually, the voice of banning the sea became louder and louder. However, Haimao is also related to the lives of many people at this time. As the saying goes, blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents. The reformists supported by Haimao and the conservatives in the court see each other, but it also forms a balance. Until... ..."

Seeing that Shen Yuanxi couldn't continue, Su Wanqiu added softly for him: "Until ten years ago, a major event happened, which caused the situation to reverse, and the Haimao Group took a sharp turn, right?"

"It's Liang Yuan." Shen Yuanxi's face became a little ferocious, and he gritted his teeth: "At that time, with his own strength and Jiang Louyue's support, he was already the leader of the young and strong reform faction in the imperial court. But no one knows why, he took refuge in At that time, the chief assistant of the cabinet betrayed the reformists and Jiang Louyue. This betrayal was tantamount to a fatal blow to Jiang Louyue. Is there any reformist that will not be destroyed?"

Su Wanqiu frowned and said: "But it doesn't make sense. Everything in Liang Yuan is supported by Jiang Louyue, and he shouldn't have turned to the conservative side because of emotion and reason."

Shen Yuanxi sneered and said: "People's hearts are changeable, and prosperity and wealth are the most attractive eyes. Most of the conservatives in the imperial court were old and powerful, while the young and strong reformers needed seniority to rise to the top. Liang Yuan's rebellion, the entire maritime trade and The reformers were certainly wiped out; but he has transformed himself and became the youngest pillar of the country in Daxia, and in just a few years, he has become an extremely human minister."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, and said bitterly: "People's selfish desires are endless. How many people can lose their conscience in order to get promoted and get rich. Although Liang Yuan's actions are disgusting, what is there to be surprised about?"

Su Wanqiu also sighed: "If life is just like the first time you saw it, why is the autumn wind sadly drawing a fan. Waiting for the old man's heart to change, but the old man's heart is easy to change. Alas!"

"Huh? You made this?"

Shen Yuanxi turned pale with shock, but saw Su Wanqiu hastily waved his hands: "How can I have this talent? I saw this elsewhere, just a big dream... I saw it there."

"Oh." Shen Yuanxi was stunned, nodded and said: "If life is just like the first time you see it... Sigh!"

Su Wanqiu was afraid that he would be obsessed with this poem, and if he could hear that it was only the first half, after all, he had already returned the second half to Mr. Nalan, but where would he continue it?Yin quickly asked again: "Then what happened later? Later, because Mr. Jiang Yue was angry, he went to Liang Yuan to argue, did he die?"

He asked this question on his lips, but he thought in his heart: If Mr. Jiang Yue really went to find Liang Yuan to make a theory, and then word came out from Liang's mansion that he was dead, then whether he died or not is a mystery.The story of Liang Aliu and Jiang Louyue, no matter how it sounds, fits the routine of forced love in Danmei novels, what if they just imprisoned people secretly.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw Shen Yuanxi shaking his head, and said sadly: "Mr. Jiang Yue sees that things can't be done. He is the most transparent and intelligent person. How can he not understand the principle of fickleness in people's hearts? Why bother to argue with Liang Yuan?" Black or white? He spent half a month dissipating his family's wealth, keeping most of the young and strong officials, leaving a way for the merchants who depended on him, and he... started a big fire in his mansion by Chengming Lake..."

Speaking of this, the voice couldn't help being choked up, and after a while, he continued: "It is said that there was a vision in the sky that night, it was clearly the time when the grass was lush in the summer night, but it was the north wind howling, and the fire was raging, and it was impossible to save them. Not enough. When the fire was finally extinguished the next day, the huge mansion had already been burned to the ground, not even the corpse was left."

Su Wanqiu: ...

"It's... too tragic. But... People who cheat their lives always like to use fire. Because the fire can burn away all the clues, how do you know that Mr. Jiang Yue is not cheating to escape? Tell me, don't be too pessimistic. You have said that Mr. Jiang Yue is the most transparent and intelligent person."

Shen Yuanxi shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "More than ten years of hard work and ambition, once they are wiped out, I still owe it to my best confidant. No matter how transparent and smart Jiang Louyue is, how can she escape such a blow?" What's more, after his death, Liang Yuan Xu did this bad thing, feeling ashamed and afraid in his heart, and searched all over the world to find him, if the young master is not dead, he would have been found long ago."

"Anyway, I keep hope." Su Wanqiu shrugged: "So from then on, sea trade was banned, and the great sea was handed over to others, right?"

Shen Yuanxi nodded: "After the death of Mr. Jiang Yue, the imperial court ordered the sea to be banned. Of the twelve commercial ports in the world, only two remain. The once-prominent Jiangnan Shipyard was also banned. The blueprints were all burned..."

Su Wanqiu exclaimed: "Could it be that even those ships were destroyed?"

"The big sea ships were all destroyed in order to completely get rid of the thoughts of those sea traders. Only some medium ships were left vacant in the dock. Until five years ago, pirates at sea were prevalent and harassed the coastal cities. Liang Yuan proposed to form a navy, and after four years, finally last year, the navy showed its power at sea, won several battles, and destroyed several Japanese pirate strongholds, but the Japanese pirates were extremely vicious, just like Thirteen Lang that day, who would have thought He was actually a spy of the Japanese pirates. You said he was alone in danger, so what did he intend to do when he came to Tongzhou? Tell me, there must be his internal support in the capital. Since last year, there have been intermittent voices, only saying that the Japanese pirates have been swept away. The army should be abolished, otherwise, if this continues, the maritime trade forces will rise again..."

"These treacherous ministers are simply misleading the people and the country, and it is not a pity to die."

Su Wanqiu was so angry that he beat the ground with his hands, and cursed through gritted teeth.But Shen Yuanxi smiled and said: "I don't know if Liang Yuan is ashamed in his heart, or if he is really far-sighted. In short, these voices have not turned up a big wave. Not only did the court not abolish the navy, but it said that the Japanese pirates are extremely vicious. It must be eradicated and not given to others." To take a breather, a large sum of money was allocated to build a ship port and expand the navy. Last year, the Ryukyu country in Nanyang asked for help, and the navy went to help them drive away those pirates, otherwise the Ryukyu country would perish."

"Pirates are different from Japanese pirates, so... have those western bandits already become popular?"

Su Wanqiu murmured, calculating history silently in his heart: Great Xia is a parallel time and space branched out from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it has developed for more than 100 years. According to the history of his own world, at this time, Western pirates did start to run rampant on the sea, and Great Xia continued to close its doors. If it continues, it is hard to say that it will not repeat the mistakes of the Qing Dynasty.
