The court did not allow the people to pass through.

In the past, Chen Mu learned the word 'closed off the country', but in fact this word is wrong.

Closing the country is a word imposed on China from the perspective of the British. According to the consistent policy of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a sea ban.

The sea is forbidden, and it is the people, not the officials, who are forbidden.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has always had exploration and trade with various countries, and silk and porcelain can be sold far away from the east and west.

The so-called Longqing switch is just to allow the originally forbidden private smugglers in Yuegang.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that they were making a big fuss in Fujian, Governor Tu Zemin would not have set the original opening port of Meiling in Yuegang.

In Qingyuan a few years ago, Chen Mu sent someone to find Shao Tingda, but because the road to the war had been closed, he had to give up.

He could only pray in his heart, praying that Shao Tingda's purchase of a farm house in Yuegang would be smooth, even if it didn't go well, Shao Tingda's safe return would be a great joy.

"Chen is not a Jinyi guard, you don't have to be afraid, just tell Chen what Guangren thinks about Haojingyiren." Chen Mu took the waist card of thousands of households and let the shopkeeper take a look, and said: "Xiangshan Qianhu, does anyone dare to counterfeit this tooth card?" ”

To be honest, counterfeit tooth tags are not uncommon, but such grandiose places are indeed rare.

"The small people are clean, and the adults of thousands of households should not be polite." Yan Qing's accent was not like that of Guangren, with the tone of the northern dialect, he carefully looked at Chen Mu and a few flag officials around him, and then whispered: "Fanyi is not good, and everyone is evil if they don't know etiquette, just outside this Guangcheng, there are many Xiangshan scoundrels and prostitutes who have taken advantage of them and lured women to go abroad!" ”

Yan Qing sighed, "The women from the peasant family near the left never returned, but the father and brother reported to the official but no one cared about it, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak!" ”

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, wrinkled his brows and asked, "And this matter, Fanyi lures and sells the people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

He knew about the Black Triangle trade, and he also knew that these explorers and colonists from the West were not good things, but he never thought that these people would dare to stand on the land of the Ming Dynasty and sell Ming Dynasty women for profit?

"These are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the court doesn't care? How many have you heard? ”

"A dozen, right?" Yan Qing didn't dare to speak, just shook his head silently, his words were full of bitterness: "The whip is beyond the reach of the whip, the government only looks at the high taxes given by the Yi people, and makes profits from it, where will it take care of these things?" ”

As he spoke, Yan Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked Chen Mu, "Master Qianhu, are you going to take up the post of Xiangshan Qianhu Office?" ”

Chen Mu nodded while dealing with Yuan: "Go out and get some charcoal and paper." ”

"No, there is a small shop, and the small people will bring it to the military master."

Fu Yuan, who had already gotten up, sat down again, Yan Qing went to get a pen and paper, and Chen Mu asked left and right, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Huh?" Fu Yuan's face was sluggish, "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Zhengyan also didn't care, and didn't know what to say.

However, Long Junxiong, who didn't speak much on weekdays, said in a loud voice: "Fanyi should be killed." ”

At this time, Chen Mu suddenly realized that he wanted to understand the Fanyi of Haojingao and found the wrong person, obviously there were Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, two old widows who had been in Japan for many years, by his side!

"You two, have you seen those Fanyi?"

"The Japanese people, the Franco-machine people, the red-haired barbarians, the Japanese people call them the Southern Barbarians." Qi Zhengyan said with a smile: "Haojing should also be them, they are all maritime merchants without a king and a father, and their hearts are very dark. ”

The Japanese were naturally Japanese, the Francos were Portuguese and Spanish, and the Red-haired Man was Dutch.

Of course, this is only based on the geographical division, in fact, there was no Netherlands in this era, and the so-called Netherlands was only a few Germanic tribes in the Netherlands, because their skin and hair were red, so they were called Hongyi or Hongmaofan in the Ming Dynasty.

"There are also black fans, tall and strong, they will listen to whoever they are sold to by Fanyi." Long Junxiong added: "Qianhu, you can buy some black fan, and fill the family soldiers to dare to die." ”

Heifan, needless to say, also knows that he is talking about blacks, these African natives are bought and sold by Europeans like livestock at will, and they should hate Europeans more than Chen Mu.

He was very disgusted with the black slave trade, and did not answer, and was about to ask when he saw Yan Qing take the pen and paper back, so he said briefly: "Go back and think about it, you have seen Fanyi's weapons, troops, tactics, and what their warships are like, and tell me about it on the way back to Qingyuan." ”

"Chen Qianhu, take it."

The pen and paper were sent, Chen Mu didn't say a word and wrote down the matter of Fanyi's seduction and sale of women, put the paper into his arms, and said to the two widows: "Goodbye Xiangshan Ling, remember to let me tell him about this." ”

As he was talking, Yan Qingyao brought the wine and said with a smile: "Master Chen, the snow wine from Yangzhou is here, and two pots will be sold for two taels on weekdays." ”

When it came to the price, the little guy deliberately dragged out a long sound, repeatedly reminding Chen Mu not to forget to pay for the wine, it really is.

Chen Mu didn't know what to say about this quirky little girl with great contrasts, so he only looked at the shopkeeper Yan Qing with a dumb smile and said, "Boss Yan's daughter is really interesting." ”

"Uncle Yan is not my father!"

Chen Mu only said one sentence, and the little guy actually stomped hard, turned his head and ran away.

"This ......"

"Qingyao, Qingyao!" Yan Qing shouted twice, but he couldn't stop the little guy, so he had to turn around and confess to Chen Mu, "Chen Qianhu Haihan, Qingyao doesn't know the etiquette, and he collides with ......."

Chen Mu shook his head, his face showed impatience because of his constant accusations, and said, "There's nothing to rush into, she's not your daughter?" ”

Just now Chen Mu heard Yan Qing shouting 'Qingyao', how can there be a daughter in the world with the same name as her father, but Yan Qing is full of little girls and little girls are short, which makes Chen Mu very curious.

Presumably, Qianhu also heard that Xiaomin's accent was not widespread. To tell you the truth, we are from Nanjing. Yan Qing arched his hand and said, "Miss is after the official eunuch." In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, the Zhenwu battalion mutinied, the door of the house was broken, the small people were the stewards of the family, and the masters were not in the change, only took the young lady to drill the hole and walked, relying on each other for their lives. ”

"I didn't dare to go back to Nanjing, I was afraid that Miss would see things and think about people, and she would be abducted in Yangzhou Qingyao again, and Xiaomin searched for six years in Yangzhou before she was found again."

Chen Mu took the case, "The little girl has lost it once, so why don't you hurry up and find it, what nonsense to talk to Chen here!" ”

Where did he know that Yan Qing didn't serve him well, where would he dare to leave, eight rough men with waist knives, and a thousand households, and a fire burned him This wine shop didn't dare to speak. Seeing Chen Mu's answer, he pulled his legs and ran out to find the child.

Chen Mu also wanted to look for it, so he only got up halfway and sat back again, "Let's not make a mess with it, the child won't be lost by then, and we Qingyuan people will be lost again!" ”

He drank a bowl of wine with his chin propped up, and said, "This shopkeeper is a loyal and righteous man." ”
