'And one more thing. '
Sun Houpu clenched his fists and said bitterly.
Liang Chuan glanced at Sun Houpu and said, "What made you so angry? Can't even the tea in front of you calm your anger?" '
'The sea ban policy is really here! '
What!
As soon as he heard this, Liang Chuan exploded from where he was and drank a lot of tea!
'When did this happen! '
In the eyes of everyone, they only discuss the official policies officially announced by the imperial court. For them, the sea ban is too far away and is insignificant at all.
For others, the sea ban may not be tied up, but for Liang Chuan, this is a knife on their necks!
'An official document came from Fuzhou a few days ago, requiring various places to make changes in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court! '
The requirements of the imperial court should be the content of the New Deal!
Liang Chuan was stunned and said: "Is it possible that the official who delivered the message went to various places to deliver superior documents!" '
'Third brother, have you seen them? '
Liang Chuan told the beating officer in detail, his face full of helplessness.
'If the time is right, it should be! '
Sun Hopu looked at Liang Chuan. As soon as this policy came out, no need to ask, the one who would be most affected would definitely be Liang Chuan.
There was no smile on Liang Chuan's face. He didn't care about any policy, but this policy would directly kill him.
'Let's go back to Qingyuan immediately! '
At this moment of life and death, Liang Chuan could no longer sit idly by.
He could never imagine why this policy, which should not have appeared in this era, appeared hundreds of years in advance!
Where has the wheel of history gone astray?
As soon as the women in the room heard that Liang Chuan was going back to Qingyuan, they all rushed out with worries on their faces.
They are scared, because they are afraid that this man will leave again and it will take many years for him to come back!
Who can bear this!
All the girls looked at Lin Yiniang, let’s see how you take charge today!
Lin Yiniang couldn't stand so many pairs of pleading eyes staring at her.
'Are you planning to leave for another three years or five? '
Even Sun Houpu couldn't help but shrink his neck back.
Zheng Ruoying looked at Sun Houpu with even more angry eyes, wishing she could just eat Sun Houpu alive.
If you don't come early, you won't come later, but you come when Liang Chuan goes home. He will definitely bring some bad news when he comes!
You can’t let people live in peace for a few days!
Liang Chuan gave Sun Houpu Xia Xue a look and told them to wait outside. He had to settle several wives first!
How could Liang Chuan be allowed to run so fast despite a long drought? All the ladies had questions on their faces!
In the past, I would shamelessly chase after someone to be intimate with me, and then I would take him home and offer him as a Bodhisattva after I deceived him. This is not so shameless!
Liang Chuan didn't waste any more nonsense and just picked the key points: "There will be a sea ban!" '
The air in the room suddenly solidified.
Lin Yiniang and Zheng Ruoying were the first to realize what the sea ban meant to them!
All the money for the port is in the hands of Yi Niang. Zheng Ruoying has also gone through business, and even the Taobao Chamber of Commerce belongs to her. Without these overseas merchants, the sugar business that so many people in Xinghua rely on for a living would probably be discounted by half. !
Countless people now rely on these sugarcane fields to make a living. If sugar cannot be produced, many people will have to go back to their old days of begging!
Yi Niang sat next to Liang Chuan and asked anxiously: "I often hear that some businessmen from other places come to Xinghua to collect sugar. They keep saying that the imperial court will implement a maritime ban policy. Is it true?" '
Liang Chuan nodded, and everyone's mood immediately dropped.
The Liang family can sit and collect money every day, not because the output in the sugar cane fields is good, but because the service fees collected at the port are high!
Qingyuan Port relies on ships from all over the world. Although they also have Wanda Chamber of Commerce to trade with them, the number is not large. As long as they still rely on the management of the port!
If the sea is banned, where will the Liang family's income come from?
Although the ladies are reluctant to abandon Liang Chuan, they are not stupid. Without a man in the family and without food, the latter will only be worse. Liang Chuan is not a farmer at first glance!
To put it a little further, if there is no money, Liang Chuan might as well be a farmer like Xinghua. .
At this point in life, everyone is sober. Liang Chuan's disappearance has become a habit. We can no longer live without money. Without money, the operation of a large family will become a problem!
'Really, I'm afraid the action will be quite big this time. I have to go see what kind of policy it is. It concerns our family. I have to leave immediately. I'm still waiting for you at home to watch the artist! '
Liang Chuan exchanged a few words with Lin Yiniang and then followed Sun Houpu back to Qingyuan.
'Will the third brother fail to come back after something happens this time? '
Shen Yuzhen asked worriedly.
'We don't know either, but this time it's okay. It's right at the door of Qingyuan and Xinghua. Even if something happens, we can go find him! '
Several people could only comfort themselves in this way.
'Why is the imperial court so troubled every day recently? If the sea is sealed, how many people will rebel? How many families will be unable to uncover the pot? '
Zheng Ruoying asked.
'This is not something we should worry about. I saw the third brother coming back recently. I was originally happy, but I couldn't be happy. I always felt that something was going to happen. '
A woman's intuition is always very effective, and the smallest thing will make him think it is a sign of disaster.
Yi Niang's words made several women feel excited again.
'You all stay at home from today on. Men are working hard outside, so you just have to guard your home. Don't go out and cause trouble again. If anyone disobeys, don't blame me for being cruel! '
A few times ago, there was always someone disobedient at home. Looking for Liang Chuan outside has caused a lot of trouble for the family. What Yi Niang is most afraid of is what will happen to Liang Chuan's child!
This will become the biggest weakness of this home!
This time, Lin Yiniang didn't joke, and directly issued a death order, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control these little ladies at all!
On the way back to Qingyuan.
Liang Chuan began to realize that something was wrong.
Didn't he remember what Fan Zhongyan's reforms proposed for maritime trade policy?
No matter how crazy the court is, they can never attack their own wallets!
The Song Dynasty was barely doing well in the early days, but by the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, it could be said that all other economies were gone, and only a few port taxes kept the court alive! Sealing the port is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall!
What's the problem?
Was it really Zhao Weixian who proposed it?
No, is Zhao Zhen really that crazy?
Did you just listen to this incompetent prince?
If Zhao Yunrang were here, I don't know if it would be useful to say it.
Zhao Yunrang had a great influence on the clan at first, but at this time, it would be inappropriate to send another letter to the capital. .
If you go to Bianjing by yourself, it will take almost another year to go back and forth, and the food will be cold when you come back!
'This policy has been brewing for a long time, but the public opposition is so great that the court cannot push it forward! '
Sun Houpu thought for a while and said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been seriously intruded by Japanese invaders in recent years, and business has been difficult to do. In the past few years, Xia Xue's father asked the Western Army to attack several times, and he barely regained his vitality. However, the imperial court continued to act like this." Doing so would cut off their livelihood. It is said that many people in the north did not object to the sea ban and went directly to the sea to become bandits. . '
'The problem is not just that simple. Does Xia Xue's father know about this? '
Liang Chuan began to look for countermeasures, how to make the court retract such a ridiculous decision.
'I've known about it for a long time, but no one dared to mention it. Now anyone who dares to say no to the emperor has to risk his life and fortune! '
Sun Houpu knew that this was a huge blow to Liang Chuan, but he was helpless.
This time Bianjing targeted Xia Song directly. In Qingyuan, they directly attacked Liang Chuan. Everyone could see that this was intentional!
Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu rushed to Qingyuan and immediately saw many people gathering on the port pier.
It turns out that a huge number of sea-going ships were supposed to go to sea when they were loading goods in Qingyuan and the workers on the docks were busy. It was very rare that almost no sea-going ships hired shipwrights and they did not load goods. Some ships even left Qingyuan Port with empty cabins!
When Liang Chuan arrived in Qingyuan, the sun was already setting. According to the usual style, many workers would go to the snack street on the street to sift out two or two meters of wine, then cut a piece of boiled meat, pour some sauce on it somewhere, and drink it happily. Take a few bites, fuck until dawn, then go home and go to bed, and repeat this life over and over again the next day.
But today, a restless mood permeated the dock. These people had no work to do and did not quit work. They were still guarding the dock, hoping that things would turn around.
What is a turnaround? This terminal can continue to operate.
We have already visited Weiyuan Building today. They did not dare to go against the dock office, but they showed no mercy to the workers. Several workers who disobeyed official documents were caught on the spot and imprisoned directly in the state prison. !
Weiyuan Tower has issued a notice that starting from two days ago, all commercial activities at the pier have been cancelled, and a curfew has been implemented at the pier at night!
This news was also a difficult decision made by Weiyuan Tower after a long discussion and even sent people back to Fuzhou to ask the officials in Luli for instructions!
The newly appointed officials of Quanzhou Prefecture are named Yu and Yu Gang.
He followed the decision from above, even though he knew what the consequences would be if this seaport was closed.
The loss of a Qingyuan port is not big, but if all the seaports in the Song Dynasty are banned, the Song Dynasty will not be able to collect the annual coins of Liao and Xia!
In other places, the current tax revenue of the imperial court is only enough to pay the salaries of the army and officials. Once they find that the taxes in the southeast have disappeared out of thin air, they don’t know what they will think, and they don’t know how many heads will fall!
Some workers discovered the carriage that Sun Houpu and Liang Chuan were riding in and arrived at the dock. These sharp-eyed old workers were all old people on the dock. Only the early workers knew Liang Chuan, and the people behind them generally knew Su Wei.
"You are here, sir. Damn it, Weiyuan Tower wants to ban the sea. We Qingyuan people have been relying on this sea for dozens of generations. Where can we make a living if the sea is banned?" We can't even plant land on the seaside, so why don't we force tens of thousands of workers to rebel? '
This situation made even Liang Chuan extremely angry.
'Don't rush, don't rush, I will see how this matter is solved later! '
