"Stop him!"

Da Zhuang and others shouted, and immediately rushed towards Hu Ba and others.

Faced with these tall men, they were fearless. Even if they were mantis, they would hold Hu Ba and others back to buy some time for Hu Niu and Xiaozhu.

Even Ergou, who has always liked to be slick, hugged a big man's thigh and prevented him from chasing Hu Niu and Xiaozhu.

"You guys get out of here!"

Huba looked at the gang of children who were rushing over and gritted his teeth.

He wanted to kick the children away, but his raised feet had to be taken back. However, he did not say that this was the land of Changlin Village, and these children seemed to be showing kindness, as if they were protecting his daughter Xiaozhu.

Although the little cicada standing next to him did not come over to stop him, she made humanitarian accusations and said, "You gave the piglet to someone as a maid, you are not a good father!"

"You guys know nothing!"

Huba's anger suddenly surged, and he immediately wanted to slap these children who didn't know the world to death.

Living in this era is not easy, but as natives it is even more difficult for them to escape to the mountains, otherwise they would not have escaped to the mountains at one time. As for sending the pig to the Qin family, he didn't think anything was wrong.

Relying on his subordinates' help, Hu Ba finally got rid of these children. When he was chasing forward, Hu Niu and Xiao Zhu had already escaped from the bamboo forest into the village, and he might have to play another hide-and-seek game.

Changlin Village is still very lively, with relatives or old friends coming to the village to pay New Year's greetings. Even some tribe members who have already moved here have returned to visit their relatives during the Spring Festival.

As the prefect of Leizhou, Lin Weiran, the most promising young official in the Ming Dynasty, not only those relatives who had been with the old, but also many people on the official side.

Officials came to visit the Shicheng County Yamen, Hepu County Yamen, Lianzhou Prefecture Yamen and other yamen. The amount we came here today was not light, and it was Lei Changjiang, the current Tongzhi of Lianzhou Prefecture.

Lei Changjiang is no better than Lin Qingran. He can go home to celebrate the Spring Festival. Like most Ming officials, he can only spend this boring Spring Festival in the yamen.

The same is true, he simply came to visit Lin Qingran to deepen the relationship between the two parties. In addition, he was also worried about Lin Qingran’s actions the day before yesterday.

The house of a private servant was burned directly, and although no one was burned to death, the impact was undoubtedly very bad.

"Although I don't know what kind of friendship Jiang Zhenxing and Prefect Xiao have, Jiang Zhenxing is indeed the guest of honor for Prefect Xiao, and the two are the closest to each other!" Lei Changjiang sat in the living room with tea and said solemnly.

"According to Brother Zhiqing's wishes, Prefect Xiao will help Yuan Jiang go out and write a letter to impeach me?" Lin Qingran used a teapot to pull the hot tea and asked with a light head.

Lei Changjiang thought for a moment, then nodded with certainty and said, "From the current movement, Jiang Zhenxing would come straight to the government office that day, which is extremely likely. Adults should make plans early and be caught off guard, or they can also visit the prefect of Lianzhou Prefecture tomorrow!"

Lin Qingran spat a sip of tea, but shook his head slightly and said, "I have never had any contact with Prefect Xiao. Now that I am just cramming, I will definitely not sell my face! Besides..." He paused for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If he doesn't attack me, I won't be able to target him. Things will be very beneficial to you!"

"Sir, are joking!" Lei Changjiang bowed. But he couldn't help but expect something, hoping that Lin Qingran would use all his strength to get rid of Prefect Xiao, so that he could get the chance to take office.

Of course, this premise is that Lin Weiran is really capable and can avoid the impeachment of Prefect Xiao.

Lin Qingran gently lifted the tea, but was not worried about it. He reminded Lei Changjiang: "Brother Zhiqing, I will do my best to develop maritime trade in the next year. At that time, I need to use goods from all over the country to replenish them. I hope you can ensure the smooth flow of Wuzhou, Lianzhou and Shicheng!"

In terms of his background alone, he is undoubtedly the most superior and has no match for it. Not only is he an unprecedented Wen Kui, but he was also promoted to Hanlin Academy to be a lecturer before being released.

So far, his resume is still impeccable. If he can achieve good results in opening the sea, it will make up for the adverse factors of his release. There will be no problem of overreach in the future when he enters the cabinet.

That's why his work after the New Year will focus on opening the sea. The preliminary plan is to sell Ming Dynasty goods to Nanyang and open the entire route of "Leizhou-Nanyang".

However, every job requires cooperation from multiple parties. After he broke up with the Jiang Mansion completely, the Jiang Mansion would inevitably use his relationship with Prefect Xiao to cause trouble for him, so these things must be guarded against.

"I will do my best!" Lei Changjiang bowed to him and promised solemnly.

After the talk of the matter, perhaps because of Lin Xuran's skill in managing Leizhou, Lei Changjiang also seriously asked the problems in Lianzhou Prefecture. Why is the famous city that was once increasingly weak?

Lin Qingran also did not hide his own personal information and talked freely: "In my opinion, the salt and South China Sea pearls of Lianzhou Prefecture are not as good as the Nanliu River! Unfortunately, the silt at the mouth of the Nanliu River has turned Hepu from a coastal city to an inland city..."

The topic did not extend too much, pointed out the problem of Nanliuhe River, and also pointed out the problem of pirates in Tokyo Bay. Especially the latter, Lin Yuran compared him with the pirates in Leizhou Bay.

"I've been taught!" Lei Changjiang bowed a long time, feeling suddenly enlightened.

After Lin Qingran's suggestions, he discovered that there were many similarities between Lianzhou City and Leizhou City. If he could clear the silt at the mouth of the Nanliu River and annihilate the pirates in Tokyo Bay, he would have the opportunity to restore Hepu's former glory.

Since he had to rush back to Lianzhou Prefecture, he could not have a happy conversation, so he hurriedly followed Lin Qingran and said goodbye.

Lin Weiran sent Lei Changjiang to the gravel drying yard and watched him leave immediately while riding, and found that the pressure this year was not small. He had to come up with a beautiful report card this year to prove that opening the sea is better than banning the sea.

From an economic perspective, the opening of the sea by Chengzu of Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly a failure. Although Zheng He's seven voyages to the West made his national prestige and made the countries in the South China become "masters", it caused the Ming Dynasty's finances to be heavily spent.

The shipbuilding costs of millions of taels were often dispatched, and tens of thousands of soldiers were sent back only some rare treasures from the countries in the South China Sea, just to satisfy the enjoyment of the palace.

It’s no wonder that Liu Daxia would burn the treasure map to stop the opening of the sea.

Lin Weiran's mission now is not only to trade overseas, but also to bring back attractive profits to the court. Only by obtaining enough profits can those righteous officials change their attitudes and support the Ming Dynasty to open up the sea.

He sighed lightly, turned around and saw Hu Niu running towards him hurriedly. Behind him were Hu Ba’s father and daughter. The little pig who was carried on Hu Ba’s shoulder was crying loudly.

Why!

Lin Qingran discovered that his wild girl Qiu was a big deal. She first beat the eldest lady of the Qin family for the sake of Xiaozhu, but now she still wants to compete with her father for Xiaozhu.
