After Wu Haogu informed his younger brother Wu Haowen of the "possibility" of the Hailu City Ship System and Placement Division in Nanyang, the youngest handsome commander of the Great Song Dynasty, recognized as a rookie in officialdom and a future ruler, was completely confused. He didn't even have any impression of how to return to Jiehe Commercial City and how to return to the samurai mansion in Republicafang.

He originally thought that his brother was greedy and arbitrary, and he had a little bit of a reputation for retreat. However, as long as there is the protection of the official family, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But this time, the martial arts antiques are also a little bigger! Not to mention the truth that they occupied the South Heart Island of the Srivijaya Kingdom and seized the right to block and collect tolls in the Sriwijaya Strait? What's going on with this alliance of the Four Buddhas of the Great Song, the Three Buddhas, the Bagan, and the Polo? And what about the alliance of the four Buddhas against the four Brahmanical states of Zhuran, Java, Chenla, and Champang?

Didn't Zhuran, Zhenla, and Zhancheng all pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty? They are all good friends, why do they start a fight to start a war?

This is no longer a national war, but an international war!

Why did the Great Song Dynasty inexplicably get involved in the war between the Brahmanical countries and the Buddhist countries in Nanyang? Does the official know about this? Does the two governments know? This is not only an unauthorized border provocation, but also an alliance with foreign countries without authorization.

Moreover, looking at Wu Dalang's meaning, the matter has reached this point, and he plans to continue to cover the lid and conceal it. It also ordered 300 warships and transport ships from the Jiehe Shipyard in the name of preparing for war...... Needless to say, after so many warships and transport ships are built, they will definitely not be used to deal with Liao, because Liao has no naval army at all, and can use 100 galleys and sail warships of 6,000 materials? And they are all "ramming boats" with iron heads installed for ramming.

These warships and transport ships were clearly intended to be used on Nanyang warships to wage war against the sailors of the Zhulin Kingdom, the Java Kingdom, the Chenla Kingdom, and the Champa Kingdom!

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the use of troops abroad has always been very cautious, even if it is a war with the Fanjia tribe on Xihe Road, it will only come to a conclusion after repeated discussions between the important ministers of the two governments. Where is there such a Manchu Dynasty civil and military people who don't know what's going on, and they go to war overseas thousands of miles away?

The last time Ji Yi reported that "the mission was attacked", and then he had to clear out the pirates, and the Three Buddhas dared to offer the island to Yunyun. Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't believe it, they couldn't catch any tricks, and Ji Yi was the first civil official in the Ministry of Rites Examination. Everyone pinched their noses and recognized it...... But this time, the shipping system and construction department of Hailu City has reached the point of fighting with foreign alliances, and dare to say that it is not a border provocation? Oh, I'm afraid there is more than one crime of provocation, and there must be a crime of robbery, right?

Others are arrogant to invite merit and reward, and the gang of goods in the Hailu City Shipping and Purchasing Division are fighting against the above, and it is estimated that they will not ask for a reward, so they will point to grabbing money and making a fortune. Is it that "the toll booth of Nanxin Island" is what they robbed?

The dignified Song Dynasty and the Heavenly Dynasty's Establishment Division has now become a yamen that organizes groups to go to sea to block roads and rob them...... What is this called?

"Second brother, second brother, what are you thinking?" Wu Haogu's smiling face leaned over and asked with concern. At this time, Wu Haowen found that he was holding a Kaifeng fried chicken leg, which was so cold that he hadn't taken a bite yet, and he didn't know how long he had been distracted. Bai Feifei, who was accompanying him at the table, and several other martial arts housekeepers all looked at him with their mouths half-open.

Yuan Fu is the sixth in the third year of Jinshi! Why are you stupid with a fried chicken leg? Is this not recognizable fried chicken thighs or what's wrong?

Wu Haowen threw the chicken leg on the dining table with some embarrassment, and took the hand towel from the martial artist who was waiting beside him, and wiped it greasy.

"Big brother, little brother has something to say!"

"Oh." Wu Haogu nodded, and then waved his hand to let Bai Feifei and a room of people waiting for all retreat, leaving only the two brothers of the Wu family.

"Big brother, this little brother can't do it anymore."

"How can you not do it?" Wu Haogu's tone was a little relaxed.

"This is not clear, the soldiers and horses of the sea route commander are all at war in the Srivijaya Strait and the Zhulin country, this is a national war! How can you just start fighting? ”

"We can't help this!" Wu Haogu looked at Wu Haowen, who was fat and no longer handsome, and frowned and said, "If the country does not fight, our people will not go to war...... The people sent to Nanyang are all good officers and soldiers who convince people with virtue! ”

Wu Haowen shook his head, he is not a three-year-old child, would he believe Wu Haogu's nonsense?

"Isn't the provocation on the South Sea side for the sake of the great interests of the Srivijaya Strait?" Wu Haowen said, "This strait doesn't have our share, it was captured by Ji Yi's whim......"

What a whim, Wu Haogu thought: It's obviously been planned for a long time!

"Big brother, in my opinion, it's better to withdraw from the Srivijaya Strait, and don't start a war with the Zhulin country thousands of miles away." Wu Haowen said, "The art of war pays attention to waiting for work, let's go back to the country thousands of miles and go to the door of other people's homes to start a war, it is a taboo for soldiers!" ”

A taboo? Wu Haogu sneered in his heart: You can go and tell the British Empire about this......

"The art of war is free to be planned by the general army engine room," Wu Haogu said in a cold tone, "The second brother doesn't understand military affairs, so don't talk nonsense!"

The Sriwijaya Strait is a huge benefit to the country! It is related to the rise and fall of the world, and there is no reason to give up! Moreover, the dispute over the Sriwijaya Strait did not require the imperial court to pay a penny of military expenses at all, nor did it have to pay a stone of military rations. Everything is financed by the Sriwijaya City Bosi, and it will be greatly rich. Even in the middle of the war, it can still send grain, gold, silver, and copper to the country. The benefits are comparable to the sum of the six roads in the southeast! ”

Of course, the taxes that the Sriwijaya Strait can contribute are not as good as those of the Southeast Sixth Road. However, the Great Song Dynasty, which occupied the Srivijaya Strait, was equivalent to entering the most profitable link in the medieval maritime trade industry chain. It can completely change the long-standing pattern of maritime trade deficit, so as to accumulate gold and silver for the Great Song Dynasty - don't underestimate the role of the right to block the road in the Sriwijaya Strait, if there is an inflow of 120,000 taels of gold a year, there will be 10 million taels of gold flowing into the Great Song Dynasty in 100 years.

If the Great Song Dynasty had this amount of precious metals flowing in every year since the founding of the country, would there still be a shortage of money now? It's simply impossible...... Gold and silver coins can now be minted or banknotes of the gold and silver standard can be issued.

With the gold and silver standard banknotes, the modern banking industry can be developed!

The inflow of gold and silver alone has such a great interest, not to mention the interest of the big granary of Java.

If you can occupy the entire granary of Java Island step by step, you will be able to ensure the supply of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of stones of grain every year in the future - when there are no sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from the American continent to fill the bellies of the common people, you may cause a great famine if you want to develop cash crops on a large scale! In the initial stage of capitalism, it will inevitably be accompanied by sheep eating people and silkworms eating people.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty in history may have something to do with it!

If the Ming Dynasty had the "toll station" of the Srivijaya Strait and the large granary of Java Island, where would there be a great peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, the Sriwijaya toll booth is used to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, while the Java rice warehouse is the foundation for the bloody initial stage of capitalism - no matter how bitter and miserable, there is always Javanese relief rice to eat!

"Big brother," Wu Haowen just shook his head, "whatever you say, I'm going to resign from the sea route commander...... And I also want to advise my eldest brother, stop the precipice, don't make a big mistake! ”

Wu Haogu's face was very ugly. He wasn't worried that Wu Haowen would expose himself - Wu Haowen was a bit of a nerd, and he took the words in the Analects as a holy decree. Therefore, he will definitely fulfill the principle of "kissing and concealing". No matter how good Wu Haogu is, it has not reached the point of rebellion. Therefore, according to the principles of Confucianism, Wu Haowen cannot expose his brother, and it is not allowed to kill relatives in righteousness or anything in real history!

The Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the righteous killing of relatives was only applicable to exposing the crimes of rebellion and mutual harm between relatives.

Therefore, as long as Wu Haowen stays in the position of Hailu Shuaisi, he has to "hide" for Wu Haogu, and he must not expose Wu Haogu's crimes. By the way, the principle of intimacy and concealment also applies to "master and apprentice", so Mi Youren will not expose Wu Haogu. If he goes to expose it, not only will he not be rewarded, but he will also be regarded as a scum by the scholars.

But if Wu Haowen resigns from Shuai Si and lets someone else do it, it will be troublesome.

"Second brother," Wu Haogu looked at his younger brother, his face gradually eased, "Although our brothers were not born by the same mother, they grew up together, don't you know what your brother is like?" ”

You used to know about it, but then you changed...... Wu Hao Wenxin said: You used to be very timid, but then you didn't know what was going on, you became more and more bold, and now you dare to do anything!

"You don't know anything about the situation in Nanyang." Wu Hao said sternly, "If the husband hears it, it is better to see it; Seeing it, it is better to practice it. The things of Nanyang, you just guess wildly, and you haven't even heard of it, let alone see it and practice it! Isn't it too rash for you to resign like this? Where have you read all the books of the saints? ”

Wu Haogu said what Liu Xiang, the great Confucian of the Han Dynasty, said in "Saying Yuan. Politics. Since it is a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty, it must make sense!

Seeing that Wu Haowen was speechless, Wu Haogu continued: "Second brother, you are the commander of the sea route, and Nanxin Island is also your jurisdiction, so you can go to inspect." If you can't leave, you can send your cronies. After seeing and practicing, the truth is self-evident. Whether you want to resign or not, let's talk about it then. ”

"This ......"

It's a bit embarrassing for Wu Haowen. It's not easy to get to Nanyang! If you are so far away, you have to take a boat. In case of storms, you may not be able to come back......

Wu Haogu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine in the glass with a smile, "Second brother, it's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles!" You don't have to worry about the windy sea, but walking along the coast is not very risky. If you are still not at ease, you can order a sea ship from the Jiehe Shipyard. When the ship is finished, how about going to the South China Sea to inspect again? ”

When the ship is built, it will be almost three or four years for Daguan......
