Daming had always been so helpless when faced with this situation, let alone Java. Moreover, Java's coastline is longer and more difficult to defend.
Han Du continued: "And the Marquis doesn't need to kill all the natives."
Zhu Shou didn't understand Han Du's words very much, "If we don't kill them all, how can we still keep them?"
"Of course we have to support them." Han Du explained with a smile: "After all, robbing a house is a one-time deal. If you want to do this business for a long time, you still need to mine. These islands are rich in copper mines. What is copper? Copper is money."
"Master Marquis, what do you think, you capture these natives, keep them under strict supervision, and then let them go mining. In this way, the money will keep flowing out like water from a spring?"
"Haha, okay." Zhu Shou picked up the wine glass and toasted Han Du, and said with a smile: "Just do what Brother Han said. In the past five years, we will also make a million taels from him."
Lan Yu heard something in her heart and couldn't help asking: "The emperor really promised to reward you with a reward?"
Zhu Shou didn't speak, just nodded with a smile on his face.
Zhang Yi, who was standing aside, also picked up his wine glass, looked at Zhu Shou with envy, and said, "Brother Zhu, what you have done as governor in the past five years is really worthwhile."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Zhu Shou waved his hand, comforted Zhang Yi, and said boldly: "Don't worry, if we have a bite to eat, all the brothers will have a bite, and everyone will have a share."
"That's not necessary." Lan Yu, as the leader among the group, immediately stood up and expressed his stance.
"What you earn is your own. Although we may be envious, we will never covet the benefits of our brothers. Besides, you have been away for five years. It is not easy to be wandering outside. We brothers can't do such a thing yet. Come."
Wang Bi, Cao Zhen and others nodded in agreement.
"However, from now on, it seems that the governor's position is really promising. The emperor doesn't know why, but he didn't disclose the governor's situation to the officials." Lan Yu paused, looked at a few people solemnly, and said, "Then let's Also keep it tight-lipped, so if there is an opportunity next time, it will be easier to seize it.”
Several people looked at each other and nodded. Of course the benefits should be reserved for your own people, who are the others?
The banquet continues, not to mention, this
Watching the singer sing and drink, it is really different from usual drinking, it has a unique flavor.
There is quite a sense that everyone will get drunk even if the wine is not intoxicating.
Seeing that Han Du was watching the singing and dancing with rapt attention, Lan Yu couldn't help but jokingly asked: "Brother Xian, the Jiaofang Division is the best in the capital. Isn't the singer in it stunning? Brother Xian has been in charge of the Jiaofang Division for so long, why is he still so anxious? What does it look like?”
As soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, the others burst into laughter.
Han Du had no choice but to explain: "Jiaofangsi is Jiaofangsi, and this boat is different. Not to mention, listening to singing and dancing on this boat really has a unique flavor. Later, we will also get a few boats out of Jiaofangsi , looking at the Qinhuai River, business will definitely explode."
With Han Du's fixed gaze just now, Lan Yu and others thought he was looking at the singer. What did he think? Unexpectedly, Han Du wanted to make money?
"Brother Xian!" Lan Yu couldn't help but point, then shook her head helplessly and sighed, "You are truly worthy of being a philanthropic boy. You never forget to find ways to make money wherever you go. You really disgrace the scenery."
What's so bad about making money? Han Du didn't understand very much.
And not only in the Qinhuai River, we can also expand this business to the sea if there is an opportunity in the future. Thinking about the cost of those so-called yachts and the cost of a trip to the sea, Han Du was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.
"Not only in the Qinhuai River, we will also take this business to the sea in the future."
"In the sea?" Lan Yu didn't react for a moment, "Who would be willing to go to the sea?"
Indeed, the current sea is still a little too unfamiliar to the common people. Coupled with dangers such as Japanese pirates and wind and waves, few people are willing to go to the sea.
But this situation is not static. Now Lao Zhu will never say anything about forbidden sea anymore. In the future Ming Dynasty, whether it is navy sailors or merchants going to sea, more and more people will know the sea.
As people gradually become more and more familiar with the sea, the fear caused by the unknown will inevitably begin to disappear. By then, no one may be willing to go out to sea for a stroll.
This is a good business.
Han Du smiled slightly in his heart and did not explain too much to Lan Yu.
After a day of playing, Han Du returned happily.
The next day, Han Du hadn't gotten up yet. Since being dismissed by Lao Zhu
After that, Han Du truly felt what it means to be careless without an official.
Not only is there no need to sleep, but even if you sleep until midnight, no one will disturb you.
Han Du woke up naturally from his sleep. Just as he turned over from bed, he heard a knock on the door.
"Is it Jingyun?"
Thinking that it was Han Jingyun who was looking for him, Han Du couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past, she would just open the door and come in. Why was she avoiding it now? Could it be that the little girl has finally grown up?
"Uncle, it's me." Uncle Mu's voice sounded from outside the door.
Han Du felt relieved and said casually: "Uncle Mu is here? Come in."
Uncle Mu opened the door and walked in with a look of helplessness. Originally, after Han Du was granted the title of Uncle, he felt it was inappropriate when Han Du called him Uncle Mu again, and he bluntly said that he did not dare to accept this title. But Han Du still went his own way, no matter how many times Uncle Mu said it, he still called him Uncle Mu.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Uncle Mu, why did you come to me so early?"
Uncle Mu leaned forward slightly and said, "Someone is looking for my uncle."
"Who is looking for me?" Han Du was a little surprised.
The one who comes to find him is either Lao Zhu, or Tang He, Lan Yu and others. Which of these people is the master who will wait for Uncle Mu to pass on? Which one didn't just rush in? What's outrageous is that some of them rushed directly to their own houses.
"It's a man named Zhang Lei."
Zhang Lei?
Han Du recalled it and suddenly remembered who it was.
"Invite him to the lobby and I'll be right away."
Uncle Mu nodded in agreement and turned around to go out.
After Han Du washed up, he came to the lobby.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Lei standing inside, wearing a brocade suit.
"Why don't you sit down? Didn't Uncle Mu invite you to sit down?" Han Du was a little confused. The guest came, but he was not invited to sit down. Logically speaking, Uncle Mu was also an old concierge, so he would not be so rude.
"Ah?" Zhang Lei suddenly heard the voice and was startled. When I turned around and saw Han Du walking in, I felt even more at a loss.
"Yes, I have to stand by myself." After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Han Du.
