ps: I made a mistake with the number of chapters before, but now change it back.

Ketanagara was right. Emperor Lu had already thought of the protection fee.

The good taste of Sanruan's domination of the sea in Fujian and Guangdong made Emperor Lu and even the entire sailor never forget. The money came so easily.

What's more, there is such a character as Zheng Zhilong in the official history. "All sea ships are not allowed to order the banner of the Zheng family, and they cannot come and go, and each ship earns 2,000 gold, and the annual income is tens of millions, so as to enrich the enemy country."

Emperor Lu was not a person who liked to waste. He spent so much energy to run the current invincible armada, how could it be that only after leveling South Vietnam, it was left vacant? It's just that you can't learn Zheng Zhilong completely, Zheng Yiguan is too straightforward and too red, he is a pirate, so he can not pay attention to it, but Emperor Lu can't, he must have a reason for it, and the teacher must be famous!

It's just that he didn't expect a ketanagara to jump out of 10,000.

A maritime merchant of the Srivijaya Kingdom who has just been naturalized and naturalized.

Closing the fold handed by Wang Kai, and then glancing at the map of the South China Sea opened by the chamberlain, Lu Qian knew that there must be a lot of unsaid things about this ketanagara. For example, the reaction of the countries of the South Seas, such as the ports where the naval warships docked along the way......

Ketanagara has his own little abacus, and Lu Qian doesn't take it seriously. He was curious about this person now.

As a well-informed maritime merchant, Ketanagara didn't know how great the influence of the Nanyang Naval Master would be if he expanded his sphere of influence to the entire Nanyang Seas?

Emperor Lu felt that since Ketanagara was a maritime merchant, he also had some energy in the country of Srivijaya Qi. The social status of such a person is usually not low, so how can he be treasonous?

In Lu Qian's eyes, Ketanagara's move is undoubtedly a betrayal of the Srivijaya Kingdom.

But when he saw Ketanagara, all the strangeness was gone. The pillar of air above this man's head was quite white.

This Ketanaga has such a high loyalty to China and to Emperor Lu!

"Little people Jala, meet Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Ketanagara can speak a relatively fluent Tokyo official dialect, and after being introduced into the Xuande Pavilion by the chamberlain, he knelt under His Royal Highness with his head half-hooked, respectful, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Flat." When Lu Qian heard the word 'Jala', his heart was full of sorrow. This is the Chinese pseudonym of Ketanagara, which is obviously a homonym of his name. But he's a businessman, and his name is 'fake', is it really good?

"Jala? Is this your Chinese name? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the villain's name." Jara explained the origin of his Chinese name, partly because of the homonym of his name, and secondly because he was a businessman.

"Shinong, industry and commerce, the four people, are the pillars of the country. What a cheap word. ”

Lu Qian didn't talk much, and quickly got to the point. "You were recommended by the Marquis of Kaesong, and your advice is refreshing. If you can achieve something, you will have a great contribution to the court, and I will not hesitate to reward you. ”

Jarrah's spirit was shocked, and the column of qi above his head instantly became thicker, what he did was a meritorious service. However, Emperor Lu was happy that someone would bring up this matter first, so that he could take the blame for him in the future.

As mentioned earlier, Emperor Lu wants face. This is purely a profit-seeking move, and subconsciously he feels that it is better to find someone to blame. Originally, the target he chose was San Ruan, but the three Ruan brothers were not too comfortable in Nanyue these days, and they even encouraged Lu Qian to send troops to Nanyang. Whether it is Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, or the most straightforward Ruan Xiaoqi, no one must mind coming to bear the pot for Emperor Lu.

Because of the same thing, in the eyes of people with different identities and different views, the severity is completely different.

For San Ruan, the evaluation of the youth history of later generations, everyone is considered a bird? Grandpa is dead, how can you say that you can bite off one of grandpa's bird feathers?

They don't care about this at all. As for Shilin's criticism, the people slandered. The Ruan brothers are all guys who use the Confucian crown as a urinal, and they don't bother to pay attention to it.

But now, with Jala.

"The strength of the Nanyang countries, the navy is headed by the Srivijaya country, and the army is Angkor. However, although the two countries are strong, they are only wrestling with a handful of small countries, and they are like the battle of the snails, which is not in everyone's eyes. His Majesty pacified South Vietnam, and his generation was also strong, and the army could compete with Angkor. Now the navy and army of the country are launched together, and in the blink of an eye, South Vietnam has been put into the palm of the hand, which has made the countries terrified, and then the huge ships and sea boats, holding sharp cannons in the South Seas, and the glory of the sky overseas, the three Buddhas do not dare to speak loudly. ”

"The benefits of controlling Nanyang are huge. If you can go west out of the Three Buddhas, enter the Zhuluo Sea, and reach the heavens, then the gold, silver and jewelry will inevitably pour like rivers and seas, and enter the Central Plains. Your Majesty no longer has to worry about money. ”

Jara was summoned to the palace this time, but the nautical chart he brought was not only a Nanyang, but also a chola, and even involved the heavenly world. The two existing ports are marked with red dots, with black boxes representing important cities and yellow representing unclaimed islands......

"The land of Nanyang and Tianzhu, although it is not as rich as the Central Plains, is also densely populated and the land is fertile. Warm climate with frequent rain in spring and summer......"

"Produced in the production of tarma, brain, Shen Su temporary incense, coarse ripe incense, descending incense, cloves, sandalwood, cardamom, foreign **, rose water, gardenia, navel, myrrh, aloe vera, afero, wood, Suhe oil, ivory, pearls, coral trees, cat's eye, amber, cloth, fan, etc., are all extracted in the national ......"

Jia La praised Nanyang fiercely, naturally because he was worried that Emperor Lu would not look down on Nanyang. He has been in China for many years and knows the hearts of Chinese very well. The Han people of the Zhao and Song dynasties, because they have always had a 'big brother' on their heads, did not have as much self-righteousness in their hearts as they did in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Many people still know that the world is not a Chinese one, but they are all beaten by the Liao people and called the big brother, so is it still a fart tian dynasty?

First they couldn't beat the Khitan, and then they lost to the party in a row, if the Song people could hold themselves as 'Tian Dynasty and Shangguo' as they did in the Ming and Qing dynasties, then their brains would be kicked by donkeys.

However, even if the Khitan was weakened in force, the Song people still had their own pride. It is normal to regard the land of the South Seas as a barbaric place where miasma Yayoi is full of poisonous insects, and does not know morality.

Lu Qian laughed loudly and stopped Jala's words. "I still know something about Nanyang. There are abundant products and rich people. The soil is very fertile, and the proverb "planting grain in one season and harvesting rice in three seasons" is not here? ”

"As for Tianzhu, it is a treasure land flowing with honey. The population is not inferior to the Central Plains, and the abundance of products is also smacking. ”

Emperor Lu is not a turtle, the wealth of Nanyang and India, I am afraid that the Jara in front of him does not understand more thoroughly.

"Where is this?"

Lu Qian asked, pointing to the end of the Malay Peninsula, the location of Singapore, which will be known to future generations.

"Your Majesty, the ancient name of this place is Pulozhong, which means "island at the end of the Malay Peninsula", and is now called Temasek. It is the territory of the Three Buddhas, but it is not valued by others. A gleam flashed in Jala's eyes, and she was in awe of Lu Qian's acuity. It is adjacent to the southern mouth of the Straits and is adjacent to the Malay Peninsula by a narrow waterway to the north. The radius of the land is nearly as wide as a county in Middle Earth, and there are dozens of large and small islands around, most of which are uninhabited. And the terrain is gently undulating, although it is high temperature and rainy, there is no shortage of fresh water, and cultivation can be three crops a year. ”

If the Nanyang Naval Division controls here, the whole of Nanyang will be controlled by China.

In addition to this, the later islands of Bangka and Belitung, as well as Borneo and Natuna, as well as Palawan, which was called Scarborough Shoal, and a large area of the Philippines in later generations, were marked in yellow by him.

"Isn't this Ma Yi?" Lu Qian pointed to the Philippines and quipped.

Jarrah laughed too, "Your Majesty said you laughed. A small Ma Yiyan can cover such a large territory. ”

Mayi is nothing more than a small indigenous country on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. This Ma Yi means the land of the black, because the inhabitants of that place are dark-skinned.

As a country that is still a social organization form of the village community alliance, there is no need to say much about the strength of Ma Yi. It's just that Bunturo Island has gentle mountains, fertile land, and a warm climate. Crafts such as salt-making, wine-making, and weaving were also well developed – compared to other places. As such, Mayi became a trading center and commodity distribution center in the Philippines, and it was very close to the trade with the nearby islands. There is also a period of communication with China. The Mayi ship was first carried to Guangzhou for trade in the seventh year of the Song Taiping's rejuvenation of the country. Yellow wax, pearls, betel nuts and other items produced here were exchanged for Chinese porcelain and ironware. Therefore, China refers to the entire Philippine region in terms of Mayi, but it does not mean that the entire Philippine region in later generations is under the jurisdiction of Mayi.

The situation of the country is similar to that of the gods. The so-called Bo Ni Kingdom was only the Brunei region of later generations, not the whole of Borneo.

In the eyes of Emperor Lu, at this time, the Nanyang region was full of blank areas for Nanyang sailors to settle down.

Everything is still the same old saying, Emperor Lu needs someone to take the blame.

Coming out of the Forbidden City, the smiling tiger Zhu Fu led Jara to his signing room.

Asking someone to bring tea, Zhu Fu smiled and said to Jala: "The proposal of the big official is very good. If you can really earn tens of millions of dollars a year, you will also make great contributions to the country. ”

"However, the affairs of the court have always been justified. The big officials told about the hard work of the maritime merchants, which really made people cry when they heard it, but the officials couldn't hear it, and the people of the world couldn't hear it. ”

In a nutshell, Zhu Fu had to give Jarra a serious task. It is to ask him to connect with maritime merchants, whether Chinese or foreign, but there must be many, there must be a certain amount of influence, and there must be real evidence. Then they jointly wrote to the imperial court......

Emperor Lu is so shameless.

In fact, in the future, he did this shameless behavior many times. But when all this was covered up under the interests of the empire, Emperor Lu's shamelessness seemed to be only circulated in the ridicule of later generations.
