"Father, I saw Xinghe Bo today and even talked to him. He was very kind and said that he would welcome him to visit Fangjiazhuang in Peking in the future!"

After returning home, Mu Yan excitedly showed his own situation to his parents.

Wang smiled and said, "Just coax people."

Mu Jian frowned and said, "That man is notorious in the scholarly forests, you shouldn't be close to him."

Seeing Mu Yan's expression suddenly turned into loneliness, Mu Jian frowned and said, "Do you don't understand the principle of Meng's mother choosing neighbors? For your father, you must be the priest of the officials, but at least you must be upright!"

Mu Jian said: "If the mind is right, the body is upright, and both the mind is right, you can be a gentleman! If you want to learn from your elder brother, don't jump out of it."

Seeing that his youngest son was confused, Wang advised: "Husband, Yan'er is still young. Just teach him slowly. Of course, he will become a gentleman like you in the future."

"He's still young?"

Mu Jian wanted to get angry, but when he saw his wife's expression, he sighed: "Forget it, I'll write an article for my father in the afternoon. If it's not good, beat me!"

...

The news of Fang Xing's sudden visit to Ningbo Prefecture spread as the scholars returned home. Ningbo Prefecture was naturally shocked. The prefect quickly visited Fang Xing's temporary residence, but was turned away.

"My uncle has some private matters to deal with during this trip, and he will not see any foreign guests."

Fang Xing had no time to make courtesy with Ningbo Prefecture. He sent someone to pass on the message, saying that an envoy had arrived and asked Ningbo Prefecture to replenish some food and water for the fleet. After the fleet repaired it, it would leave Ningbo Prefecture and go to Jinling.

So Bahande climbed the shore and moved into the big mansion.

A count of the Ming Dynasty with great military achievements actually lived in the house of a merchant. This discovery made Bahan secretly happy, so when he saw Fang Xing, he talked about the benefits of trade.

"...The Ming Dynasty does not need to worry about this. The people of Tianfang are the most devout merchants. Just let them turn around and the goods of the Ming Dynasty and our country will be unobstructed. This is a good thing for both parties..."

Bahan looked at Fang Xing, but saw Wei Ran, and gritted his teeth and said, "Xing He Bo, those Tian Fang people... are very polite and never treat their friends unfairly."

Fang Xing said, "Didn't the Meat-Missing Country trade with those Thais?"

Bahan was stunned and said, "Xinghe Bo, you know, our country has fought with those Thais for a long time, and both sides have long been immortal. Not to mention trade, people who see each other will kill him."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Then why not take the land?"

Bahan's forehead suddenly felt sweat, and Fang Xing said leisurely: "Karabakh has been broken by the Ming Dynasty. Can you still dare to detain your caravan? That is just an excuse to intervene in Halie on a large scale, right?"

"Harry is the weakest at this time. Don't tell me that you have never tried to annex their minds!"

Fang Xing's words came to the nail on the head and told them all about the dirty things between countries.

Bahan smiled dryly and said, "Xinghe Bo, the land route is too far! And there are not many goods you can carry."

"Well, this is indeed."

Taking the land route is one of the most expensive things. People eat horses and chew them, and they can lose their old capital along the way.

The second disadvantage of land is that it can only rely on large trucks, and the goods it can carry are small and cannot be paid.

Bahan smiled and said, "If you take the sea route, Tianfang people are very familiar with this route, so there will definitely be no problem."

"Well, there will be no problem. The descendants of Tianfang people in the former Song Dynasty once controlled Quanzhou and then created the Quanzhou tragedy with the Mongols. The Battle of Yashan were their accomplices!"

Pu Shougeng!

Needless to say it, Bahan knew who Fang Xing was referring to.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "My country is blocked by the people of Tianfang, so it must trade through them."

Fang Xing suddenly waved his hand with some interest and said, "You said that these things are meaningless and if you want to trade, then you should pay tribute first, otherwise it would be an insult to the Ming Dynasty."

Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty had the attitude of "I am the country of the Celestial Empire, and you must pay tribute to the central country" to the foreign races except the Mongolian Yuan, and it has continued until now.

Bahan bowed slightly and said, "The purpose of my hardships here is to pay tribute."

Fang Xing said lightly: "That's good."

After Bahan left, Li Jing said disdainfully: "Xinghe Bo, these people from the foreign countries are all greedy for money, so they want to trade with the Ming Dynasty."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "I have been watching the front and back doors recently, don't expose them."

This is a vague criticism.

On the way back, Fang Xing looked for the secret whistles from the East Factory, but found several, which made Li Jing ashamed.

"Brother Xinghe, our family... we will train them well when we look back!"

Fang Xing frowned and looked at him and said, "It's not that I underestimated your Dongchang. It suddenly rose up, like a nouveau riche, but I lacked a lot of basic skills. You must calm down and explore. If you do it well, you may not be able to transfer back to the capital like An Lun in the future."

Li Jing couldn't help but look longing when he heard this.

Almost every eunuch has an ambitious heart, and it is even more passionate than ordinary people.

Fang Xing continued to draw. In his writing, the future child was Sun Wukong, and he was the nagging fat Tang Monk...

...

Li Er was also painting, and he was painting the topographic map of the Mu family.

He and his mother seemed to have been staying in the corner between the backyard and the wall, and there were people staring at him around, not afraid of him running away, as long as his mother was there.

But as a former pirate, if he hadn't been concerned about his mother, this surveillance would not have trapped Li Er. So he just sneaked in a few times in the evening, and even knew the mechanisms in Mu Jian's study.

He slowly painted, and it was a bit difficult to use his pen, but he painted the structure of the Mu family clearly.

After finishing the drawing, he burned the remaining paper and pen, then went out and looked at the Mu family in the night with a cold look.

...

The next day, Fang Xing got up early, practiced in the yard with his servants, and then took a shower.

The breakfast is seafood porridge, which is fresh and fragrant.

After drinking a large bowl of seafood porridge, the Blacksteen Sergeant who was guarding the gate brought good things.

"Oh, this map includes a piece of gold, which hits the small head. If it weren't for the small head, it would have been finished."

Fang Xing saw a bag swelling on the man's head and said, "Go and see the doctor, you can rest today."

The soldier felt embarrassed when he heard this, touched the big bag and said shyly: "Master, what's this injury? The young man could still kill the enemy even after being hit by three swords!"

Fang Xing looked at the map in his hand, then raised his head and glared at him when he heard this, and shouted, "Then are you talking nonsense? Get out! I'll give you a pot of wine tonight!"

This guy Moji waited for this for a long time. Seeing him leaving happily, Fang Xing said, "Damn it! He seems that he can't drink when he is injured?"

Xiao Guwei, who came together, said indifferently: "What's this injury? Those brothers who were dying in the knife tried hard to drink, but they couldn't stop them. Later, when the injury healed, they were still alive and killed no less than others."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "I tell you that you can't do this again in the future. After drinking, the qi and blood will accelerate. That's asking for death! Get out!"

"Gold... This map is a family, but there is no place to be written. Who is this person? Could it be Li Er?"

Xiao Guwei, who was not leaving, said, "Brother, then Li Erke has a group of subordinates who should be outside the city!"

Fang Xing nodded and said, "That's right, but the garrison of Ningbo Prefecture is still good, otherwise Li Er would definitely take his pirates to wash the family and then take his mother out to sea."

Pirates like to go ashore to waste blood, not only because of their bloodthirsty, but also want to grab daily necessities, such as iron pots.

Xiao Guwei is a soldier, so after thinking about it, he suggested: "Brother, why don't we let the guards relax and wait for the pirates to enter the city. When the time comes, even the person behind him will be caught in one go."

Fang Xing frowned and stared at him until he lowered his eyes, and then said, "We are warriors. It is natural to protect the safety of the people. Your idea is very dangerous, do you know? Putting the safety of the people behind your head and only thinking about making meritorious contributions. This is not a qualified general. I will tell Wang Yan about it and let him teach you!"
