Although Hai Cheng has a clean style, he still has no problem making three plates of side dishes and a pot of wine.

He Jin also asked his followers to go out and bought some dishes such as roast chicken and braised beef. After dividing some with Mrs. Hai and the child, he ate and chatted with him.

"The officials should have been transferred to Sichuan, but the adults suggested that they need an official who is familiar with Minnan, but they allowed the officials to serve in their ancestral homes. In this regard, the officials should also be grateful to the adults."

He Jin pulled the braised beef on the plate, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little resentful. I originally wanted to find someone familiar with the local cultural customs and be my right-hand man. Who knew that the Ministry of Personnel got you, but now I can't even regret it.

"After taking office, the lower officials naturally have to be worthy of their parents and fellow villagers, and they are more aware of the people being exploited by clerks and yamen runners for many years, so they want to break the situation by trial. Fortunately, the lower officials have served as the censor for some years, and they are clear about the tricks of those corrupt officials, and they open up the situation without any accident."

Listening to Hai Cheng's nagging, He Jin was a little impatient at this time, "Magistrate Hai, can you tell me the key points? I have been talking for so long, but I haven't heard of the reason why you inspected the port."

Hai Cheng suddenly felt a little depressed, but when he looked up, he saw He Jin wanting to shout into the room again, so he could only surrender helplessly, "Sir, I'll talk about the key points right away."

"Sometimes ago, the officials tried a case and arrested a city fox and a club rat. After being imprisoned in prison, they were prepared to be used as hard labor. However, he asked the prison chief to inform the officials that they would use a piece of secret information to make the crime."

"Oh?" It was not until this moment that He Jin felt a little interested and asked, "The information content is very explosive, so explosive that you will not hesitate to give up your life and have to inspect Yuegang?"

"The intention of the officials is not to inspect Yuegang, but to detain those cargo ships." Hai Cheng's expression became much more serious at this time, saying, "That city fox and society rat is actually a pirate."

"He has a definite news that the Japanese pirates are going to rob Yue Port cargo ships in the past few days. That's why the officials seized those cargo ships first to prevent the people of Yue Port from being robbed by war."

"Hmm?" He Jin never expected that this would be the case. He felt that many things were explained.

"I said, you, a guy who is dedicated to the people, how could you cut off your own way to live in Yuegang without saying a word? It turns out that you are afraid that the people will suffer."

"In this way, the pirates will naturally not act rashly when they know that the cargo ship is under the watch of the government. At the same time, there is no need to leak the wind and cause a large-scale panic."

"This method is interesting, but" this reason explains what Hai Cheng did, but what puzzled He Jin even more was, "If this happens, why don't you report it to me?"

"You know that I have set up manpower in the coastal defense, but you still want to rely on this method of just living by yourself?" The more you said, the more angry He Jin subconsciously wanted to shout into the house.

Hai Cheng was really angry and anxious, and his face became shy, "Good, the official, that, this?"

He grunted twice, but didn't say a reason.

Fortunately, He Jin's eyes turned and he understood, and sighed, "Oh, you are just a thin-skinned person and have a strong mind. It's not easy to trust people."

"The reason why I don't report to me is that I feel that the relationship between us is not inconsistent, and I don't know whether the information is accurate. At the same time, I also think that opening the sea is wrong, so I just take one step at a time."

As he said that, he looked at Haicheng and concluded, "Anyway, even if he lost his black hat, he might have avoided a war. He thinks it's worth it and has a clear conscience, right?"

Hai Cheng looked at He Jin in surprise, but he didn't expect that he didn't know how to explain it, and he summed up a few words by He Jin.

For the first time, he felt that this kid was cynical under the surface, and he turned out to be resourceful to rely on "Sir, you have made the subordinates look at him with admiration."

"Oh, do you mean I'm a little good?" He Jin was not surprised by the praise and disgrace, but just nodded slightly.

But just when Hai Cheng was about to admit it, he suddenly spoke first, covered his face shyly and said, "I think so too. You only realize now that your vision is really bad, haha."

As soon as these words were said, Tang Bohu beside him felt inexplicably cheerful and let others taste this pain, which really helps his physical and mental health!

Sure enough, Hai Cheng was so angry that he wanted to turn the table up on the spot, and his face turned dark. "Sir, fullness will bring harm, humility will benefit, worry and hard work can prosper the country, and Yiyu can die."

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw He Jin frowning and contemplative, with a very calm expression, as if the indulgent and floating words just now were an illusion of his own.

And then He Jin spoke seriously, "Although this matter can be big or small, it must not be ignored. If you tell me the official truthfully, there will be a better solution."

"What's the solution?"

"I can't just live by myself, and I'll never be able to do it once and for all!" He Jin's eyebrows narrowed and said decisively and resolutely. "I want to take this opportunity to wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop, so as not to make the pirates harass our coast of Ming again."

Hai Cheng heard this and said it was like a fantasy. He questioned, "The pirates have been in trouble for nearly a hundred years, and the court is helpless. How dare you boast about Haikou like this when you first arrived here?"

"That's because all the officials and workers in the court do not know the root of the pirates. I have always advocated opening up the sea ban and attacking the origin of the pirates' riot. How can I cure the disease without medicine?"

As he said that, He Jin organized some ideas and began to explain, "Magic magistrate, think about it, why do pirates harass and rob us of the coast of Ming Dynasty?"

"For food and supplies?"

"Yes, the islands occupied by pirates do not produce food and supplies. They can only rely on burning, killing, looting, and maintain their lives. Has the magistrate Hai ever thought about why they became pirates?"

"Because they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and there are descendants of Chen Youliang's subordinates who are immortal?"

He Jin's face turned ugly at that time, and he waved his hand and said, "A hundred years have passed, and the five generations of people have changed. What kind of hatred for the destruction of the country will not fade? County Magistrate Hai, do you have no confidence in the education and grace of our Ming Dynasty?"

"What is the reason for that, sir?"

"It's because our Ming Dynasty prohibits seclusion, but marine trade has been around since the Tang and Song dynasties, and it has not been banned until the Yuan Dynasty. This trade chain has been cultivated. What can coastal people rely on water to get water, but not trade?

Speaking of this, He Jin sighed and said, "But after Taizu established the court, he rashly adopted the strategy of banning the sea because of the little conflict with Japan."

"This has led to the loss of livelihoods in coastal people on the one hand, while the demand from overseas is increasing. Private trade cannot be banned, and maritime groups can only take risks, so Japanese pirates are rampant and continue to relocate."

At this time, he gave another example and said, "It's like a stream that was originally smooth and suddenly became blocked. Naturally, the longer the time, the more serious the congestion. If it is not properly guided in time, floods will inevitably spread."

"If the Hai Magistrate does not believe it, you can check the pirates' rebellion in the country's dynasty over the years to see if the more the court investigates the ban, the more rampant the pirates' rebellion will be? Then, after a group of people die, the next group will come again."

After hearing He Jin's remarks, Hai Cheng was stunned. After a long time of daze, he only said one sentence, "Mr. He, how dare you question the Taizu system?"

In an instant, He Jin felt that he was struck by lightning. He couldn't help but roar and complain, "I've just said so much, what have you heard and what are you pretending in your mind?"

That's right, I also admit that Zhu Yuanzhang is very powerful, from the wind and rain of the thatched hut to the lonely lamp of Huangjue Temple, from the sword lights and sword shadows in Chuzhou to the beacons of Poyang Lake.

He ran out of thousands of troops, stood up from the sea of ​​blood, experienced countless hardships, endured countless pains, completed the mission that history gave him, expelled the Mongol Yuan, and restored China.

But no matter how powerful he is, he is only a person.

Moreover, he is a person with a lack of broad vision and knowledge. A decision made by Lao Zhu more than a hundred years ago did seem to be slightly effective at that time, but it cannot be regarded as a golden rule. It will be used forever!

But the philosophy believed by scholars in this era is that the past is good, and they silently abide by the old rules and do not know how to adapt.

He Jin was so angry that he took a deep breath and exhale three times, and he felt it was impossible to explain. He had to choose to give up completely and shouted loudly into the house, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you to come out, and Magistrate Hai is thinking about making a death sentence again."

"Mr. He, you!" Hai Cheng was shocked immediately. You are too unkind to glar at He Jin. I don't understand. You can talk slowly. What's going on when you just keep moving!
