The situation in Bianjing has taken a sharp turn, but it is also extremely silent. There are more and more comments, but now everyone's attention is focused on Chen Ao.

The Cai family is a centipede, and its foundation is still on the other side of Fujian Road. What will happen when Chen Ao goes to Fujian Road is the best way to clear away the clouds.

The Pingxi Palace was in the whirlpool, but it was surprisingly quiet. Chen Ao went to the palace to get the order, bowed to Zhao Ji, and went to the martial arts school. He was still the commander of Qi, including the cavalry and naval army, with a total of 1,000 people. Looking at this, it seemed like he was going to fight again.

This time, he went to Fujian Road, which was much easier for Chen Ao. He was nothing more than investigating the case as an imperial envoy. In the eyes of others, the thin camel of the Cai family was bigger than a horse and did not dare to provoke him easily, but in Shen Ao's opinion, it was already a meat on the chopping board. This time he went to Fujian Road, he had more intentions to take this opportunity to clean up his future vassal areas and build some things that should be built, so as to avoid being unprepared in the future.

With this thought, he had a little bit of absurdity in his mood. He easily said goodbye to his family, so he rode his horse and took the captains out of the city and headed south.

When he was in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he stayed for a while. Zeng Sui'an personally received it. Chen Ao stayed here for three or four days and had already realized that Suzhou and Hangzhou was more lively than before. However, this place was not the largest port after all. No matter how prosperous the sea trade was, it was mostly ***. In Japan's sea ship trade, occasionally Khitan merchant ships came by the sea. After all, the terrain of Quanzhou was much worse than that of Quanzhou. In Quanzhou, not only facing the South Ocean, but also countless large-scale merchants flocked in, and the annual throughput was more than five times that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. After all, Quanzhou had a geographical advantage in this era, so naturally it was not comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

However, the land in Suzhou and Hangzhou is fertile, and the land of fish and rice is much stronger in terms of agricultural reclamation than the wilderness on Fujian Road. These two places are treasure pots and each has its own advantages.

Zeng Sui'an seemed much more mature and knew everything about sea routes. Although the new maritime policy in Suzhou and Hangzhou followed the path of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, after all, the region was different and he had many things to worry about. After a year of hard work, he had less scholarly spirit but more skillfulness.

Chen Ao had a long chat with him all night. The two had little contact with each other, but they were rare friends. They didn't have to say anything about their relationship, so they spoke casually, but they just avoided Zeng Sui'an's affairs in the court. Zeng Sui'an didn't ask much questions.

The officials in Suhang, seeing Chen Ao and Lord Zeng from the Maritime Office were like this, they were also calculating in their hearts. They used to dare not offend him, and now they dare not offend him. This guy is simply a monster, killing all directions. I don’t know who will be unlucky when he went to Quanzhou this time. However, in private, everyone is rumoring that this trip was to kill the Cai family, which is even more intimidating. How long has the Grand Master been at its peak? Even he has become a meat on the chopping board. If you think about it, you must not neglect the matter assigned by the Maritime Office. If you offend Lord Zeng, you will offend King Pingxi and King Pingxi. Next time, you will not be the Fengxinghua Army.

Chen Ao stayed here for three days, and was in a good mood. He also invited many scholars and famous scholars to banquets. Those who received the visitor were really crying but didn't want to go, but they had to go obediently. Isn't it that he offended him? The reason why he can show his character is because he has the halo of a scholar. In the Song Dynasty, scholars didn't have to worry about life and death. In the era of a heavy scholar, as long as you don't rebellion, you almost only need to care about birth, old age, sickness and death. Therefore, it is often this era. The more scholars with character, the less no one will deal with you. The best time to name him directly is not. If you throw them to the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, these people will most likely have their true colors and will have no character. Because the knife of others does not distinguish whether you read or not.

But Chen Langzi is also such a person. If he offended him, he would be light in his life. He killed people without good results. He didn't kill people once or twice. People in Suzhou and Hangzhou like to write poetry, but when they see such a demon king in the world, they immediately lose their temper.

Everyone went to the banquet together, Chen Ao invited famous scholars to talk about poetry, calligraphy and painting, so... a story was left in Suzhou and Hangzhou. While countless people secretly wiped their cold sweat, they finally rode a sea boat and went to Quanzhou under the protection of the two warships of the founding Oriental Navy.

The storytellers who were not aware of it even made up lyrics, and they all clamored in the tea shop. The name of the story is called Pingxi King Sanshi Suhang. There are no less casual conversations and the style of a famous king in the story. The scholars have long heard of his erudition and integrity, and they are flocking to it. There is no less abnormal relationship with a famous prostitute in a certain family. Most of them have made vows, and maybe there is a saying that the sea has been gone forever. The beauty heard that Mr. Chen was going to go to Quanzhou and went to Qinsheng's life, so she cried and sent you thousands of miles away.

There are also storytellers who have compiled the words and have lost their words. What happened later? Some people were also shocked and shouted: "Don't worry, there is still a good story, but Xia He's woman left the King of Pingxi, but unexpectedly she was pregnant. The brothel woman was unable to enter the grand hall, so she didn't dare to go and recognize each other. Unexpectedly, the King of Pingxi had forgotten this romantic story for a while. Twenty years later, Xia He took out a golden lock, but called her daughter to the bed, and told her to go and find her. My dear. Who do you think of his dear? It is the prince of Pingxi. This woman follows her motherly nature, and her surname is Xia, and her name is Xia Yan'er. She takes the golden lock and goes to Bianjing immediately. She travels thousands of miles and encounters countless dangers on the way. Finally, she finds her dear. Oh, my dear meets her daughter. When her dear sees her dear, she doesn't mention her feelings. She only hears Xia Yan'er say with tears in her eyes, Daddy, do you still remember the Xia He by the misty lake? In an instant, there was a loud noise in the sky, thousands of thunder lightning exploded, and heavy rain pours down..."

Ordinary people like to hear this kind of storyteller, and they all applaud, regardless of whether the storyteller traveled through time or not, they also know what happened twenty years later? Furthermore, although King Pingxi was famous in the Shilin, his reputation among the people was not bad. The storyteller liked him and everyone talked about it. Only those famous scholars who seemed to have walked through the gates of hell were still frightened when they closed the door, and they did not dare to spread it everywhere. They only told some close friends about the scene of that day.

"The devil's smile was even ferocious. He looked at him and his neck was cold, just like a knife stabbed in. He talked enthusiastically about the meaning of poetry, books, and the lower ones didn't dare to say a word. When he was drinking tea, he frowned. I was thinking, after finishing the tea, I couldn't say that my life would be explained. Who knew that his next sentence: This Suhang tea does not have the fragrance of Quanzhou. Scared, the Quanzhou tea was brewed from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. How many people did he kill there? In the eyes of this devil, Suhang naturally could not compare."

Such words are more expensive than whispers in the boudoir, and they will never dare to make a big public.

By the beginning of May, the fleet arrived late and arrived in Quanzhou. At the beginning of the month, it happened that the merchant ships were going to sea every month. In the five bays, all the merchant ships of all sizes were black, which squeezed the waterways into a waterway, and more than three thousand ships. Looking around, it was covered in black, and even the sky was eclipsed.

The sound of the waves slamming was flooded by the firecrackers. The merchants took the sailors to the bow deck, lit incense, prayed to Matsu, and then slaughtered the livestock and threw them into the sea. The sea surface was dyed red, not to mention the Song merchants, even some of the mixed merchants were like this, and they were indescribable piety.

Those who run in the sea dare not neglect any path of gods and Buddhas, and believe in this most deeply.

Chen Ao was mooring outside the bay, standing on the side of the boat, facing the sea breeze, and was shocked. However, when he saw someone slaughtering livestock, he couldn't help but want to shout: Let go of the pig.

After all, Chen Ao shook his head and said nothing against the sea breeze. What if it is wasted, what can be done?

Then there was a fire of cannons coming from the bay, and the fleet sailed out to sea under the instructions of the water diversion officer. Chen Ao remembered that when he first went out to sea, the huge fleet was not skilled, and the waterways were often occupied, so that the bay was congested, wasting a lot of time before it was cleared out. However, now it is obvious that the rules have been established and management experience has become more skillful. Although the scale is larger than before, there has been no trouble.

After waiting for more than two hours, the huge fleet sailed out of the bay. Chen Ao took a boat and entered the port with other merchant ships and jumped off the sampan. Chen Ao stood on the pier and took a heavy breath of the salty and wet sea breeze, and suddenly felt like home.

This place will be home in the future, and its descendants will also reproduce here, poor mountains and rivers, but the unruly people like this thing.

Fujian has always been a remote place. People cannot survive by cultivation, so they have to find another way out. Just like the Westerners who were blocked by the Ottoman Empire's subsequent funeral, they had to go out to sea to fight the autumn wind. It is precisely because of this that there are the most unlucky people and the most villains here, and they have a kind of ruthlessness in everything they do. But in Shen Ao's opinion, people must always have a little ruthlessness. If they are not ruthless to themselves, how can they develop?

Chen Ao had already planned his career. After the court had all the messy things were cleaned up, he moved to Fujian Road and took these troublemakers to do some meaningful things, such as rescuing Kunlun slaves from remote black Africa, or finding more meaningful livelihoods for the women on a certain island and giving them the opportunity to create wealth through labor.

Thinking of this great journey, Chen Ao couldn't help but yell, long live the great unity of the people of the world!
