Ma Yi looks not much different from a small fishing village. It is a complex of double-storey bamboo buildings. After the rain, the calves are full of deep mud and the air is filled with heavy fishy smell.

"Pooh!"

Cai Yan spit out, his mouth opened, and his mouth was bright red. Not only did he, Lu Tao, Lunong, Gu Qinniang and others all looked the same. Like him, they were very uncomfortable with betel nut's numbness and suffocation in their throats. Liu Yidao, Annong and others didn't care at all, and even liked the coldness and stimulation of betel nut.

Liu Yidao, Annon and Guo Huan lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in. Seeing Cai Yan sitting behind the table, she was wiping the bright red corners of her mouth with a wet wipe, and she couldn't help but smile.

"The South China Sea is damp and hot, and there is a lot of miasma. If there were no betel nuts, I wonder how many people would die."

Cai Yan shook his head and said, "What Mr. Liu said is wrong. The miasma that is caused should be the biogas emitted from the corpses of rotten animals. The humid and hot places are indeed easy to breed biogas. Betel nut has insecticide characteristics in medicine. What is useful is insecticide. The disease enters the mouth. As long as you pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands frequently, and enter your mouth with cooked food and boiled water, you can also be free from diseases and disasters."

Cai Yan scratched his head with his little hand and said, "Of course, there are many mosquitoes in the damp and hot places. Mosquito bites others will also cause people to get sick. It is good to treat diseases with betel nuts, and it is good to prevent diseases without illness. It is just... the teeth are prone to blackening and broken."

Liu Yidao, Annon and others were originally pirates and knew a lot about the customs of the South China Sea. They used to chew betel nuts often. After landing, they gradually changed their habits. After listening to his words, the two old men did not know what biogas was, but they also knew how to kill betel nuts and could not help but nodded in agreement.

Compared with the two old pirates, Guo Huan didn't like betel nuts very much, and he was not polite to him. He picked up a small table and put a teacup and drank it, and said, "The native barbarians in the forest have found it. How did Xiaoshan Chang deal with Ma Yi Kingdom? Is it really let the beast who killed his mother and brother become the king of Ma Yi?"

It was not until Liu Yidao and Annong and the others found a chair and stool to sit down, that Cai Yan smiled and said, "Old Guo may have misunderstood the main and the second, and turned the cart and the last one."

Guo Huan was stunned and said in confusion: "Have you got the main and the second, and turned the main and the last one upside down?"

After Cai Yan looked at Liu Yidao and Annon, he once again looked at Guo Huan and said, "Well. Mr. Guo is familiar with Confucian classics, and has his own benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness in his heart, and has a sense of righteousness. However, the country is different, and the country is the first priority."

Cai Yan said disdainfully: "No matter how vicious the King Gou'er is, no matter how vicious the King of Dog'er kills his mother and brother, it is also a matter of Ma Yi's own affairs and has nothing to do with us. If it must be related, it is also a matter of interest. If it hinders our interests, he will have to die. In the interests of Song State, he can live, or even King Ma Yi."

Guo Huan was about to speak again, but Liu Yidao smiled and said, "What the young master said is, no matter whether he kills people or not, as long as he is not ours, it doesn't matter if he kills many Nanyang monkeys."

Guo Huan was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw Anon, he nodded in agreement, but he did not argue in the end.

Seeing the reaction of the three, Cai Huang nodded and said, "Although countries and countries are not only profitable, interests should be the first. King Gou'er is a bastard, vicious and cunning. Does the court know that the Volunteer Army sets checkpoints in various prefectures and counties, do you know that the Volunteer Army is sometimes bandit?"

"Know."

"Since you know, why are the Volunteers allowed to exist? It is because although they are hateful, they can also pay the money and make up for the insufficient taxes of the court."

Guo Huan frowned and said, "But Ma Yi is poor and deserted, how much wealth can he have?"

Cai Yan shook his head and said, "Old Guo is wrong. If you have land, you will have wealth. Nanyang is poor only because of wealth. Just because you have gained something all year round, you can eat and fill your stomach all year round. It is not like our dynasty's high taxes that the people have to get up early and go to bed late to create wealth. It is because they are not enterprising that they are not as prosperous as our dynasty."

Cai Yan looked at the three of them and said, "Ma Yi is hot and rainy. You can plant rice for at least two seasons a year. Food is the basis of all value. Whoever controls the food will control everything in the world."

"Mr. Guo wants to say that too much food is too low and the farmers are hurt?"

Seeing Guo Huan restless and wanting to speak again, Cai Yan knew what he wanted to say and smiled: "The court's taxes are high, so that the prices have been raised to a very high level. Once the food price falls, countless people will inevitably go bankrupt, be extremely poor overnight, and even starve all over the land."

"The people are extremely poor and cannot afford to pay taxes. If they do not have taxes to pay the salaries of officials and soldiers, the country will be in chaos and even the country will be destroyed."

Cai Yan sighed again and said, "Our dynasty seems rich. Tokyo is like a bustling city that never sleeps, but you must also know that it is because the people have no money in their pockets to support their families that they are forced to keep setting sun and have to earn everything they can earn, which has created such a prosperous dynasty."

"Behind the prosperity is endless danger. People do not have much extra money and are unable to resist the sudden rise in prices or the sudden reduction of risks. If you want to change all this, you can only let the people truly have extra money and have the ability to resist risks."

Guo Huan nodded and said, "Xiaoshan Chang said it well, but what does this have to do with Ma Yi Country? With Xiaoshan Chang's words, once Ma Yi Country's food enters the soil of our dynasty, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Cai Huang nodded slightly, shook his head and smiled: "As Mr. Guo said, if it is difficult to measure cheap food and enter the land of Song State, it will inevitably hit farmers at high cost, and then trigger a huge crisis hidden behind prosperity."

"but!"

"When did you say that you would pour in the inmeasurable food into the State of Song?"

Guo Huan was suddenly shocked, Liu Yidao, Annong looked at each other and nodded.

Cai Yan said: "War is an art, not only swords, weapons, arrows, but also food and money."

"The biggest crisis in our dynasty is that the court's wealth is not enough to be used. The taxes and land are enfeoffed by gentry and powerful people, and the number of redundant officials and soldiers is increasing day by day. Our dynasty has been established for a hundred years. The official family is like a wealthy playboy envious of luxury... What should I do if there is insufficient cost?"

Cai Yan said: "What should I do? It's just the four words "increase revenue and reduce expenditure". Don't think about saving money. If you want to make the playboys save money, wouldn't it be a waste of time to ask for fish? It's impossible to save money, so you can only increase revenue. Wang Wengong tried to open source, what was the result? Mr. Guo should know better than the boy."

Guo Huan was disappointed and knew that although the child in front of him had a little disdain in his words, he knew that it was right...

"Wang Wen failed to openly change the bad policies of our dynasty, but he ended up in failure. There are many reasons, but the boy still thinks that the most fundamental reason is a wrong direction and is too impatient. For example, people know that a serious illness and the drug is too strong, not only can it not cure the disease, but it may also cause the disease to be even more serious."

Guo Huan felt something in his heart and said: "The long hill means... Open source should not be from the inside, but from the outside?"
