"Your father is very brave!" Zhu Jun said with a smile, but was not angry. Shen Dabao said this because he trusted him.

"There are few people in eastern Zhejiang who do business and don't go into the sea secretly. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about the fishermen along the coast.

The court prohibited the sea, but the fishermen wanted to survive, so they could only sneak into the sea to catch some fish to support their families.

Those merchants from the noble families in eastern Zhejiang also sneaked into the sea.

So Your Highness, don’t look at the officials in eastern Zhejiang, who are honest and honest, their families are all rich.

They said that our Shen family is rich enough to rival a country, but are they not rich enough to compete with a country?" Shen Dabao complained.

"Why do you say this, is there any evidence?"

"No, but everyone knows it!" Shen Dabao said: "Those officials are very treacherous. Those merchants will sneak into them for protection. How can such a thing be said on the surface?

But everyone in the industry knows their relationship.

Otherwise, they would have no way to go into the sea!”

"What about the Shen family?" Zhu Jun asked.

"The Shen family naturally has something to do. They first defected to the prefectures of various prefectures, but they were too greedy. The next time, most of the profits in the sea were swallowed up by them.

My father was so angry that he found a way to curry favor with His Majesty.

You also know what happened next, but it didn't make a fuss and almost broke the family in!" Shen Dabao smiled awkwardly.

"I won't mention the past. Do you know who is the leader of the pirates?"

"There are ten bandit dens on the fifteen islands opposite Ningbo Prefecture, and the leader is Zhang Zhou's people. I know two of them.

One has the surname Han and the other has the surname Shi.

A few years ago, a bandit surnamed Qian in Songjiang Prefecture caused a rebellion. The court was furious and sent troops to suppress it, but these people fled.

The money bandits colluded with the Han bandits and Shi bandits, arranged troops on these islands and attracted people in large numbers.

They have thousands of boats, armor, knives, and rigorous training. They are undoubtedly regular navy masters!

Their armor and knives were purchased from the country of Wadao.

The Japanese swords from the Wadao Kingdom are extremely expensive. When you ship them over, you can buy five taels of silver by replacing them.

In fact, this Japanese sword is learned from our ancestors. Unfortunately, the descendants were unfilial and lost their methods."

"Do you know how many people there are on the island?"

"No less than 20,000 people!" Shen Dabao said: "And the number of people will be more. Some troublemakers are good people during the day, and at night, they are robbers who robbed their families, which are very rampant.

When the merchant went there, the first thing he did was to worship the wharf.

What I worshiped was not the dock of the prefect, but the dock of the pirates.

As long as they hand in hand in enough offerings on time and on a monthly basis, their ships will be unobstructed.

Many people do business with these pirates and secretly transport supplies.

So, Liu Ye, going to Ningbo Prefecture to suppress bandits is not as simple as you think.

It is difficult to break through without a hundred thousand troops.

Even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to be wiped out.

The incident of Japanese pirates is also true.

These people are composed of caravans and ronin, and invade the borders of our great cause.

Moreover, these pirates have certain connections with Japanese dogs.

Even at a certain time, they still fight against the Japanese dogs.

So much so that the people over there are not at all resistant to the pirates because they do not target ordinary people.

Even the people regard these pirates as protectors at sea!”

Zhu Jun sneered, "These people are smart, how much oil can ordinary people squeeze out? Merchants are the big fat pigs, and sea trade is the big ones!

With ordinary people helping to act as a spy, no wonder they can't suppress the pirates.

But it’s just a bandit, no matter how many you say, it’s useless!

If you have that ability, why don’t you join the army and serve the motherland?”

"Who said no!" Shen Dabao smiled angrily, "So Master Liu, let's be more cautious..."

"I understand. You have found out the relevant forces clearly. This pirate, I have to pay it off!" Zhu Jun said.

Ningbo Prefecture is a good place and must be firmly controlled by the court.

Moreover, there is 30% of his dividends in that place.

"Master Six, just listen to my advice..."

Zhu Jun interrupted him, "My father promised me that I would be fully responsible for opening the sea there..."

Hearing this, Shen Dabao took a deep breath, then his whole body trembled, and he was overjoyed, "God, isn't that profitable?"

"It's good that you know!" Zhu Jun smiled and said, "If you continue to let the pirates stay there, wouldn't it block the wealth of our King of Wu's Mansion?

That is a fortune of tens of millions. Even if the Buddha is blocking there, I should come to him!"

"Suppressing bandits, you must suppress bandits!" Shen Dabao's breathing was rapid. The Wu Prince's Mansion was fully responsible for opening the sea. What a big profit?

"I will go back and write it now!" Shen Dabao couldn't wait for a moment, and he wanted to kill the pirates who blocked their wealth immediately.

When Shen Dabao left, Zhu Jun exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The pirates are not that easy to suppress.

If you want to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle down.

Ningbo Prefecture is already rotten and must be cleaned from top to bottom with thunder means.

He took off the Seven-Star Sword hanging beside him.

Great cause needs a peaceful sea defense line.

And these pirates are of great use!

......

On the fourth day of the inspection of Zhongdu, Zhu Yuanzhang had basically completed the inspection.

He was very satisfied with the situation in Zhongdu. Fengyang already had the atmosphere of Zhongdu.

So, he decided to prepare for the capital after he went back.

I wanted to leave, but Zhu Jun refused and said that he would leave after attending his wedding.

He didn't want to care about such a small matter as taking a concubine.

But he kept thinking about the new weapon that Zhu Jun mentioned.

"When will we let us see the new weapon you mentioned?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"You should stop watching for the time being. You still need to debug. After the debugging is completed, I am sending someone to the capital." Zhu Jun said.

"Damn it, wasn't it intentionally?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he was angry, "Since he hasn't debugged well, what do you think of what you did?

Do you deliberately suck our appetite?"

Zhu Jun simply didn't want Lao Zhu to see it, so as not to use his weapons to equip his personal army.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that Lao Zhu would let him suppress the bandits.

If you want to suppress the bandits, you really have to rely on this new weapon.

He was also glad that he had prepared in advance, otherwise it would be not that easy to suppress bandits.

"Dad, I think you should go back after the Lantern Festival. Anyway, you can't get back before the Lantern Festival. Why not spend the Lantern Festival here before leaving!"

"No, we'll get angry when we see you now!" Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands in his sleeves, "And it's deserted here, we have to hurry back and spend it with your mother!

Let’s see, the wedding will be held tomorrow, and we will leave after it is done!”

Zhu Jun was so amused that he finally persuaded Lao Zhu.

In a flash, it was the day of the wedding, and Zhu Jun also put on the groom's outfit again.

Shen Dong'er and Li Wanqiu were in Tangfu and Changfu respectively.
Chapter completed!
