Chapter five hundred and sixty-seven: King Shen, the boy who scattered wealth
Chapter 567: The boy who disperses wealth and sinks into the county king
Li Heng felt quite happy with such courtesy. When he arrived at Wangyuan Tower, he was accompanied by officials from all over Quanzhou. Li Heng wanted to talk about the attack on the port of merchant ships. Before he could speak, his face turned red. Originally, he came in unjustly and came to ask for an explanation according to the orders of King Yue. Now that he could not escape the words of criticism, he had to say: "Master Shen, Dongwan Port..."
Chen Ao waved his hand with a smile: "A few small things, now I'm talking about this, wouldn't it be a big shame? I'm in love with Brother Li. Even for Brother Li's face, I will definitely give you an explanation."
After hearing Chen Ao's promise, Li Heng gave up his mind. He felt that the Prince of Penglai was a righteous person and would definitely not be disappointed. In addition, Chen Ao arranged everything for him and lived in a mansion of an official and businessman. The mansion had lost his head and was confiscated and his house was cleaned up. He would clean it up and be more grand than the mansion of the King of Yue.
After settled down Li Heng, the urgent news came again. The fleet went south. Although there was no attack on the port again, he tasted the sweetness at Dongwan Port. In addition, there were many people and many courage, so he had to disturb him and cause countless troubles. The countries in the South China Sea were extremely disturbed. In the past, Han merchants went south and had no relatives, which was the most honest. At this time, when there were too many people, they became unscrupulous. How could these two attitudes be able to bear it? Complaints were heard everywhere. In addition, the affairs of Yue Kingdom had spread throughout the South China Sea. Everyone was afraid that such a thing would happen again, so they were not allowed to take this opportunity to send envoys to negotiate, hoping that Song Ting could prevent such incidents from happening.
The Honglu Temple in Bianjing had received many such complaints. Suzhou and Hangzhou also followed Quanzhou to Japan. Although the scale was smaller than Quanzhou, it was also a ship that lasted several miles. It was vast and sailors and sailors were around 20,000. These people did not plunder when they arrived in Japan. The Japanese were always very polite to foreigners. The various vassals were reluctant to teach the merchants of the Song Dynasty to trade. Even so, what happened was quite a big deal. It turned out that one vassal state in Japan was fighting against another vassal state. One of the vassal states could not hold on, so they promised many benefits to the fleet and were even willing to mortgage the silver mines in the territory. At that time, there were many silver mines in Japan, and some people were jealous. The merchants of the fleet discussed for a while, and immediately had a decisive battle. Without saying a word, they fucked the guy and landed on the shore. As a result, a vassal state was destroyed and a vassal state rose, and more than 2,000 Japanese people were killed and injured.
The entire Japanese island was like a natural ecological balance. The emperor could not completely control the situation, and the great names did not have the strength to annex the enemy. Although there were small-scale battles, there were rarely one-sided battles. However, the arrival of the caravan broke the entire balance. The daimyos saw the sweetness and were scrambling to contact the fleet. They did not just hope that the caravan would help them, but they were afraid that the caravan would fall to the hostile side. The so-called scrambling was bribed, the promised caravan was at the entrance of the sea, the promised silver mine, and there were also those who cede land.
It is related to life and death, and Daming can care about anything. At this time, Japan had no concept of family and country. In addition to admiring the Song people, there were no distractions. Although they were brave and ruthless, they were also ignorant, but after seeing the strength of the fleet, they would not dare to be arrogant.
After such a fuss, the entire country had the right to go to sea and the right to exploit six silver mines in the hands of maritime merchants. Before the goods were dumped, Suzhou and Hangzhou made a huge profit.
Although the daimyos had no objection and were only panic, it was a catastrophe for the Japanese royal family that was gradually falling. As the representative of Japan, how could it be possible if the maritime merchants did not protest at this time? They would have to restrain themselves if they were to make such a fool of themselves.
Although the country of Japan was thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty, it was clear to all aspects of the Song Dynasty. It was known that the target of negotiations was the imperial envoy Chen Ao, so even those who had gone to Bianjing were saved and they set sail to Quanzhou.
It turns out that maritime merchants are alone outside. Not to mention bullying people, they feel inferior. When they arrive at ports in various countries, they can only spend money to eliminate disasters when they encounter problems. At this time, groups are even sharper than locusts. Chen Ao's method solves the problem of pirates along the way and the bullying of maritime merchants in foreign countries, but it is too corrected and creates a bigger problem that needs to be solved urgently.
The Bianjing side was already in full swing, and there were endless shouts and scoldings. The impeachment memorials were one after another. Although Zhao Ji was recuperating in Wansui Mountain, he had heard of some of them. He was a person who was afraid of trouble. Now all the civil and military officials in the court demanded the abolition of the new sea route policy, to restore the original state, and prohibited merchant ships from going to sea. At this time, he was a little shaken and asked Yang Jian from time to time: "This new maritime policy is just a rest. Chen Ao is certainly thinking about me, but if this mess continues, I don't know how much trouble you will make."
Yang Jian just pursed his lips and asked a few times before saying, "Have you ever made a promise to Chen Ao? Why not wait until Chen Ao negotiates with the countries before talking."
Zhao Ji nodded, and once encouraged Chen Ao to let go, and at this time he recalled Chen Ao, the old face felt that he had no face to see him, so he had to give up and sighed: "I hope he can comfort him."

In June, Quanzhou is already scorching sun, which makes people breathless. Chen Ao is fine. He wears a summer shirt, occasionally goes to the pavilion to cool off, eats iced watermelon, and occasionally watches the new issue of Suiya Weekly, which is very comfortable.
Envoys from all countries gathered in Quanzhou, and Chen Ao was warmly welcomed and could never make a mistake. However, once they talked about the caravan, Chen Ao took the excuse to change the topic and asked about his well-being. People asked, Lord Shen, your business in your country... Chen Ao immediately laughed. The weather in Quanzhou is hot, but it was very cold at night. Brother, remember to add a few more clothes, oh, where did you just talk about it?
After neglecting them for a few days, Chen Ao was not idle either. Several doctors worked day and night and finally drafted a lengthy letter of nationality. The terms in it were dense, with hundreds of them. This was his real intention.
It was almost time. Early in the morning, Chen Ao called the captain: "Go and inform the envoys of all countries to come here. I will talk to them in person."
In the other hall where the envoys of various countries lived, when they heard that the Penglai County Prince wanted to discuss the important matters, they dared not be negligent and did not delay at all, and they immediately gathered.
Among the people, there were dozens of envoys from all over the world. Everyone was uneasy and sat in the hall first, asking each other in bad Chinese language. They were all dejected. Those fleets were really harmful. Everyone was excited and complained about their own sufferings. Suddenly, the hall turned into a complaint conference.
Just as everyone was excited, a clean cough came, Chen Ao was wearing a summer shirt and slowly swayed in, and said with a smile: "I'll be sorry for you all for a long time."
The envoys stood up one after another. Although the country suffered from the detriment of Shen Ao, they themselves all received the detriment of Shen Ao. It would definitely not be possible to tear the face apart. They all smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are kind."
"Everyone sits, you're welcome. When we come to our Song Dynasty, it's like our own home." Chen Ao smiled and pressed his hands down, then sat on the main seat, his eyes first fell on Li Heng: "Brother Li, you are not feeling well these days. Have you taken the medicinal herbs that I sent?"
Li Heng smiled and said, "If you are worried, the prince will be worried. After taking it, the disease will be cured."
Chen Ao put away the fan and turned his bones and said, "It is indeed a fatal thing to have a headache and fever in a foreign country. Brother Li must pay attention to his health. Although it is like going home after coming to the Song Dynasty, if you have something, I will not be able to explain it to you."
Li Henghe nodded and thanked him again. Chen Ao's eyes fell on the Japanese envoy, Chihiro Kubo, and said, "Brother Kubo arrived a few days ago. It's really hard to sail along the way. I have always wanted to make friends with you, but I'm afraid that it will affect your rest and be inconvenient to disturb you."
Kubo Chihiro said gratefully: "You are polite, I am so honored to be able to climb up to your prince."
Chen Ao asked each other, and he remembered everyone's name clearly. As they continued to ask along the way, although everyone was a little resentful, they disappeared all of a sudden. Chen Ao saw that Chen Ao had arrived and turned to the topic: "This time the caravan went to sea, it disturbed a lot, but my maritime affairs in the Song Dynasty could not be abandoned. The only solution was to give me some warnings."
As soon as this was said, a whisper came from a whisper, what kind of virtues of the maritime merchants were, just a warning, how could they be taught to be obedient? Li Heng said: "Your Majesty, I just warned that it is hard to guarantee that they will not have a solid state. This matter is not painful to the Song Dynasty, but it is a huge matter for us. The lower country is located in the border area and produces little. An accident is like cutting everyone's hearts. Please ask the lower country to come forward and punish it seriously, otherwise the lower country will never have peace."
Everyone said, "Yes, we need to punish it hard, otherwise we will never have peace."
Chen Ao just smiled faintly: "Okay, then let me listen to you and punish you heavily. But if you want to punish yourself, you must clear out all the maritime merchants who violated the ban. Then please report it."
"Report?" Everyone looked at each other. In their opinion, the Song people looked similar. Even if they could recognize their appearance, they had probably become dead. How could they report this?
Seeing that no one said anything, Chen Ao sighed and said, "That's it. I, the Song Dynasty, said that if you don't blame the public, you can't teach me that the Song Dynasty will kill all the maritime merchants. Let me give you an explanation. In this way, who will trade for everyone and who will communicate with everyone's existence or not, so I can only find another way to do this."
At this time, no one said anything. Kubo Chihiro said, "Is it possible that sir?"
Chen Ao smiled faintly: "Don't rush to say a solution, let's talk about it later. What I want to talk about now is to give compensation to all countries. Everyone knows that this trip has caused all countries to suffer losses. The Song Dynasty is the country of the Celestial Empire and has always pursued good neighborly and friendly. Now that this happens, you are heartbroken. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the King are also heartbroken. Since there is any loss, we must make up for it, otherwise the Song Dynasty will not be able to say it."
He gave a wink to the captain behind him. The captain immediately took out a stack of lists and sent them to each envoy. The envoys stopped talking and looked down. When they saw this, they were shocked. Li Hengqi said aloofly: "Does the Celestial Empire really compensate Yue State so much?"
In his hand, the four big words "10 million guan" were written behind the list of Yue Kingdom. What does it mean? Take Yue Kingdom for example. A year of income is probably only about five million guan. Ten million is equivalent to two years of income. It is nothing in the Song Dynasty, and it is not even worth mentioning. Any surplus government army can pay so much money in a year, but it is really an astronomical figure for Yue Kingdom.
Chen Ao said ashamedly: "The State of Yue suffered the most losses this time, so the pension and compensation were heavy, ten million yuan, just to express their feelings. I hope that the State of Yue will not complain."
Li Heng had countless thoughts in his mind. Such a large amount of money is really not a decimal. If he took it back to King Yue, he would definitely have an explanation. He thought he could help the Song Dynasty to compensate hundreds of thousands of yuan. After all, the third largest port in Yue State had only suffered so much loss. If a person died, he would die. At worst, the Song Dynasty would ask the Song Dynasty to explain the murderer and expose the matter. Unexpectedly, Chen Ao took action and was extremely extraordinary. With this money, the whole country of Yue State may not be celebrating together, but King Yue must be overjoyed.
As for the other envoys, although the compensation received was not as good as the Yue Kingdom, it was beyond their expectations. Some were millions of guan, some hundreds of thousands of guan. A dozen countries added up to about 3,000 guan. Now Chen Ao is rich and powerful, of course, a lot of 30 million guan, but it is not a big deal to deduct a little from the huge wealth of the house being searched. This time, Chen Ao spent a lot of money and pursued the idea of taking it first and giving it first, giving them sweetness first, and then harvesting it.
