Chapter 808
I heard Sun Chuanting say very seriously: "My lord, I believe that the biggest difficulty in the national policy of opening up the sea is to complete the tax revenue expected by the emperor. When the sea is flat, the land is peaceful, and the tax is collected, the pressure will be the greatest. Without reliable and dedicated subordinates, it is absolutely impossible to fulfill the emperor's entrustment. Since the subordinate officials have made promises in front of the emperor, they must not be afraid of the risks ahead, and must prepare early."

After He Qiaoyuan finished listening, he stared at him blankly and didn't speak for a moment.

As a member of the civil servants of Ming Dynasty, he naturally understood that what Sun Chuanting said was right.In fact, the biggest reason for the current situation of Ming Dynasty is that it cannot collect taxes.And the emperor's expectations for the tax revenue brought by the opening of the sea are much higher than He Qiaoyuan's own estimate.In order to achieve this goal, it is bound to conflict with those who did not pay taxes before.

The sheer size of that group is really frightening to think about.Because of this, He Qiaoyuan didn't think about this at all when he went to the memorial to open the sea ban, so in the memorial, he only estimated an extra [-] tax dollars per year.Thinking about it now, compared with the emperor's later expected goal, it is really hard to say.

After thinking for a while, when he looked at Sun Chuanting again, he suddenly realized that the emperor finally sent the northerner standing in front of him to the south, which seemed to be the most wise decision.The person in front of him is prepared for a rainy day, decisive, even ruthless, and has already made up his mind to offend everyone.Or only a person like him can fulfill the emperor's expectations?Ordinary people really can't do it, or don't dare to do it!

Thinking of this, He Qiaoyuan nodded, no longer trying to persuade.After pondering for a while, with a trace of sincerity on his face, he said to Sun Chuanting: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't talk about this matter. But you are from the north, or you are not familiar with the bandits along the coast. This old man must To remind you, there is one thing you must pay attention to."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he knew that the governor would no longer interfere in his own affairs, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart.Regarding the kindness of the governor, he also showed an attitude of listening attentively, and said seriously: "Your Excellency respects your instruction!"

"One of the reasons why pirates can roam the sea without any disadvantage is the collusion between land and sea. Or he has secret operations on the shore to help him inquire about the news of the government and find out the wealth and prosperity of various places. And the stolen goods that pirates snatch at sea are also They will be sold through the people on the shore. The supplies at sea can only be obtained through the people on the shore.” When He Qiaoyuan said this, he seemed to be afraid that Sun Chuanting, a northerner, would still not understand, so he simply cut to the chase, “The people on the shore , You need to have a certain power to do these things. Do you understand?"

Sun Chuanting actually knew this too, the thieves he captured made Liu Xiang not hesitate to threaten to rescue them, he knew that these thieves must be Liu Xiang's confidantes on the shore.But there was one thing that he only realized after hearing He Qiaoyuan's explanation that among the local tycoons on the shore, there were probably people who colluded with Liu Xiang.

He Qiaoyuan said so much, and Sun Chuanting is his right-hand man to open the sea, so he simply added: "The greater the power of the pirates, the greater the power corresponding to the collusion on the shore! Now Liu Xiang can be the largest in the coast. Pirate leader, you must not be underestimated. This old man is afraid that the policy you made in the lobby of the governor's office may reach his ears. In this way, the few people you send are in great danger!"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was really surprised.One must know that the people he convened for the meeting were all high-ranking local officials of Daming.If this will leak the news to the pirates, doesn't it mean that there are gangsters among these high-ranking officials?
Seeing him standing there in a daze, He Qiaoyuan knew that he might not have thought so deeply.But it's no wonder that he is from the north, and he is definitely not familiar with coastal affairs.

Therefore, He Qiaoyuan smiled again and said to Sun Chuanting: "Kang Chengzu is one of the old man's students, and he came to tell the old man about this matter. But now that the old man knows your intentions, he will naturally not dissuade you. You can do it with confidence, old man." I support you. However, what the consequences of this matter are, it is best to think twice before acting!"

When Sun Chuanting heard it, he couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was Kang Chengzu who was doing these little tricks behind his back.After he knew it in his mind, he remained calm on the surface.Seeing that He Qiaoyuan had nothing else to do, he stood up and left.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Sun Chuanting sat quietly for a long time before finally joining the chat group.

In fact, according to his original intention, he wanted to make achievements so that he could contact the emperor.What's the point of contacting the emperor at this time?However, Governor He has reminded him so, he is not a reckless man, so he had to send a private chat to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian Province, has a book to play..."

Although he had made a short report on the general situation and his own plan as much as possible, the content was still a bit long.What he didn't expect was that after waiting for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen replied to him: "Qing is doing great things for me, and I will naturally support you. Everything will be done according to Qing's own charter. , I will stand in your way!"

Seeing this reply, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt excited.For the emperor's trust and support, he couldn't help but have only one thought in his mind, the king treats him as a gentleman, and he must return him as a gentleman!
On New Year's Eve, the government got in touch with Pirate Liu Xiang, and also talked about recruiting. It is said that Liu Xiang also agreed, so, to show sincerity, Hong Yunzheng and others will go to Pirate Liu Xiang's ship to negotiate the matter of recruiting .

When Kang Chengzu heard the result, his heart that had already calmed down became anxious again. He immediately ran to the governor's mansion again to report the news to his teacher He Qiaoyuan, and at the end he expressed his position seemingly sincerely: "Sun Zhongcheng is so determined to go his own way. It's nothing to be dismissed from office, it's just a matter of dying and dying, but Sun Zhongcheng has just come to Fujian, and the good situation has only just begun, if he is demoted because of this, it will be a great pity for us Fujian people, and my mentor will lose a lot of arms!"

He Qiaoyuan didn't speak for a long time. He didn't expect that he had said so much, and he had clearly explained the important relationship among them.But Sun Chuanting did not change his original intention. It seems that his character is really stubborn and a bit cold-blooded.In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates take big risks.In this respect, I am inferior to him.Maybe the emperor already knew that he was such a person, and if he let him go, it would really be possible to fulfill the emperor's expectations!

He naturally didn't know that it was with the emperor's support that Sun Chuanting could withstand the pressure and continue to act according to his own ideas!
