"How to give a slap? How to give another sweet date?"
Liu Mingju stared at Lin Xu's eyes and continued to ask.
Lin Xu stood up, walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and said, "Mr. Governor, you just said that Dong Kaishan is a businessman at heart. He just wants money and has no other ambitions. In this case, let's
Let him ask for wealth and get it!"
"How to make him ask for money and get it?"
"Open the sea ban!"
After hearing these four words, Liu Mingju's pupils shrank suddenly!
Immediately, he shook his head: "Our Daning Dynasty has implemented a sea ban policy for nearly a hundred years, and private maritime trade is not allowed! It is impossible to open the sea ban! Someone had made this suggestion to the emperor before, and it was immediately put into action.
Zhao Yu!"
Lin Xu said: "Of course you cannot bring this up casually, but you must clearly state the deep meaning behind it!"
"When our Daning Dynasty was founded, there was no maritime ban policy. Maritime trade was very prosperous at that time, especially along our southeastern coast. Relying on maritime trade, silk cotton, porcelain, tea and other items were sold overseas, making it the most prosperous place!
"
"The national treasury is full and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Speaking of this, Lin Xu stopped, looked at Liu Mingju and asked: "A hundred years ago, the imperial court suddenly implemented a sea ban policy. May I ask why?"
"Because Japanese pirates were rampant and carried out armed smuggling and looting on the southeast coast, which seriously interfered with maritime trade. The imperial court believed that Japanese trouble began with trade. In order to prevent coastal residents from colluding with Japanese pirates and causing catastrophe, it implemented a maritime ban policy.
No pieces of wood are allowed into the sea!" Liu Mingju said in a deep voice.
Lin Xu nodded: "It is precisely because the imperial court implemented a sea ban policy that silk, cotton, porcelain, tea and other items that were originally popular overseas cannot be traded, so people like Dong Kaishan took risks and started smuggling in order to make money. Later,
Became a pirate again."
"So, as long as the imperial court relaxes the maritime ban and Dong Kaishan can do business normally, he will naturally stop smuggling, let alone become a pirate!"
"Since you can live an upright life, who would be willing to hide and be a ghost?"
"So, I think this condition is absolutely extremely attractive to Dong Kaishan!"
Lin Xu said very firmly!
Liu Mingju sighed lightly: "You are right. Although Dong Kaishan is a pirate, he cannot be regarded as an ordinary pirate! He has been at sea for decades, mainly doing smuggling business, and his business
His business is very big, and he has business partners all over the East, Southeast, and West!"
"The Japanese country has been at war for hundreds of years, and many princes rely on Dong Kaishan for their military supplies!"
"However, as far as I know, this person has never done anything robbing, killing or looting!"
"In addition, this man is a filial son, and his mother is still detained by me! If we can do business openly and exempt him from the crime, he will definitely not become a pirate again!"
After hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed!
"Dong Kaishan's old mother is restrained by you? This is a trump card! The hope of recruiting Dong Kaishan has greatly increased!"
"Mr. Lin, although your idea is good, the maritime ban is a national policy and will not be changed easily!"
Liu Mingju shook his head gently.
"I know it won't be changed easily, let alone overnight! However, we just need to let Dong Kaishan know that there is hope that the sea ban will be lifted!"
"You mean to deceive Dong Kaishan?"
"It's not considered a lie!" This chapter has been completed!
