Xu Jin followed Hongying to Fei Hong's study room, who knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. Xu is here."

"Come in!" Fei Hong's peaceful voice came out.

Xu Jin pushed the door and walked in. He saw Shi Fei standing behind the desk and lifting his pen to write. He bowed and said, "Students have met Shi Fei."

Fei Hong raised his head, held a brush in his hand and smiled, "Ziqian is here just right. Come and see how is the calligraphy written by my teacher?"

Xu Jinji walked to the desk and first saw a "Da Ming Law" placed on the desk. The spread rice paper was written in Yan style: If a tyrant and powerful man wanted to build a large ship with three masts and above, he would take illegal goods into the sea, go to foreign countries for trading, secretly engage in pirates, gather together, and rob good people for guides, the criminals were executed according to their own laws, and still beheaded and displayed to the public, and the whole family sent a front guard to serve.

Xu Jin's heart moved. This passage was excerpted from the "Da Ming Law". It was formulated and promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. Master Fei was warning himself not to violate the ancestral system!

Fei Hong looked at Xu Jin with bright eyes and asked, "Ziqian, what about this calligraphy for the teacher?"

Fei Hong asked twice "How is this character?" instead of "How is this character written?" The meaning was already very obvious, so he asked Xu Jin to dispel the idea of ​​opening the maritime ban in the future because it violated the ancestral system and the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jin said calmly: "The world said that Yan Jin Liu bones, Master Fei's calligraphy is square and dense, with light horizontal lines and heavy vertical lines. His pen is strong and round and thick, and his momentum is solemn, and he has deeply grasped the essence of Yan's body."

Fei Hong couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid can flatter you, but you have a fair summary of Yan's characteristics. Come on, come on, write one too, and wait for the teacher to see if your studies have fallen behind."

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. It was certain that his studies were gone. He had never touched the Four Books and Five Classics since he passed the imperial examination. For Xu Jin, the imperial examination was just a stepping stone. Since the door had been knocked open, why are you still holding a brick? He was not interested in studying the Four Books and Five Classics, and then became a great scholar who was full of words.

Xu Jin took the pen from Fei Hong's hand, spread a piece of rice paper, pondered for a moment, and then dipped it ink and wrote: Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees were springing in front of the sick tree.

Xu Jin used the thin gold style of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji. The characters were thin and powerful, with sparse structures, which made people shine.

Fei Hong looked at these two lines of poetry and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, nodding, "It's quite a bit hot."

Xu Jin carefully put the pen down and said, "Disciple is ugly."

"Drink tea while chatting!" Fei Hong walked around the desk and sat down by the coffee table by the window.

Xu Jin was sweating secretly and walked to the chair opposite the coffee table to sit down. He was really worried that Lao Fei would suddenly curse himself, and even lifted the teapot to water his face.

Fei Hong used the "Da Ming Law" to warn Xu Jin not to violate the ancestral system or the law, but Xu Jin replied, "Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees are springing in front of the sick tree."

The literal meaning of these two lines of poetry is: there are countless sailboats passing by next to the sunken ship, and the withered old trees are still thriving around them. However, the extended meaning of these two lines of poetry is: old and broken things will inevitably be abandoned, and new things will inevitably flourish.

Fei Hong excerpted the sea ban law in the "Da Ming Law" with the purpose of warning Xu Jin to give up the idea of ​​"opening sea ban" such as "opening sea ban", but Xu Jin used poetry to express his position of reforming the past and establishing the new. To put it bluntly, he would not give up the goal of "opening sea ban".

In order to avoid being poured into the teapot, Xu Jin sat down next to the tea table and immediately lifted the teapot up and poured a cup of tea for Lao Fei very "barely": "Master Fei, please drink tea."

Fei Hong glanced at Xu Jin. He was indeed a little annoyed by Xu Jin's "stubbornness", but he didn't even act like a teapot, and he wouldn't even scold him. He was generous and did not tolerate people with disagreements like Yang Tinghe. For example, in the matter of "Great Ceremony", although he also agreed with Yang Tinghe's point of view, he would not force the young emperor Zhu Houcon to recognize Xiaozong as the imperial examination.

Similarly, when it comes to "opening the sea ban", Fei Hong would not show his master's majesty to suppress Xu Jin and bow his head. In fact, since he first chatted with Xu Jin in Shangrao that year, Fei Hong has discovered that this person has unique thinking and always has some novel and unique but awakening words and sentences in his conversation.

And later Xu Jin did develop a lot of innovative things, such as sketching, goji, strange song singing, Folang machine cannon, flintlock rifle, etc.!

So Fei Hong knew very well that his disciple was an innovative school with ideas and ambitions, and he accepted this, otherwise he would not have taken Xu Jin as his disciple.

However, acceptance is one thing, understanding is another thing, and support is another thing. Fei Hong is generous and can tolerate contradictory opinions, but it does not mean that he will support contradictory opinions. Fei Hong is a traditional feudal Confucian scholar, with small peasant ideas dominant. In his opinion, land is the foundation and grain is the foundation. The people should honestly farm and produce grain, so that the country can be stable and prosperous. If the social atmosphere changes and the people flock to do business and make money, who will cultivate the fields and who will produce grain? This is a matter that hurts the foundation of the country.

Therefore, Fei Hong will not support the "opening of the maritime ban" and the way of doing business.

At this time, Fei Hong took a sip of tea and said, "Ziqian, why are you so persistent in opening up the sea ban?"

Before Xu Jin came, he thought about a question carefully. Why did the "Qingtianzhuang" with huge resistance finally pass, but the "Sea Ban" with small resistance encounter a big fight?

It is obvious that the reason why "Qingtianzhuang" was approved was because he took advantage of the situation. It was the opportunity for Shandong refugees to participate in the rebellion, and the strong support of the young emperor. In addition, the knowledgeable people in the civil servant group also wanted to "Qingtianzhuang", so it finally came naturally.

On the other hand, the "opening of the sea ban" incident has no premise and opportunity, and the civil and military officials of the court almost opposed it one-sidedly. In other words, the atmosphere of "opening of the sea ban" has not been created yet, and there is no foundation, so it would be strange if you don't hit a wall in the end.

So Xu Jin now understands that he is too hasty and that the "release of the sea ban" cannot be accomplished overnight. He can only slowly build the atmosphere and consolidate the foundation, so that he can succeed.

How to create an atmosphere of "releasing the sea ban"?

Of course, we have to rely on assimilation, assimilation of other people's thoughts, making others identify with themselves, and establish the common goal of "opening the sea ban". When more and more people support themselves, the stronger the accumulated strength will be, and in the end, we can break through the shackles and achieve the goal of "opening the sea ban".

Xu Jin is here to "assimilate" Fei Hong tonight. If even his teacher can't convince him, then don't think about "releasing the sea ban" and take a shower and go to bed!

Xu Jin also took a sip of tea, but did not answer Fei Hong's words, but asked back: "Dare you ask Master Fei, why did Taizu ban the sea back then?"

Fei Hong said naturally: "When Taizu founded his country, the Japanese were as stubborn as before, and they refused to accept the king's transformation. They killed the envoys of our dynasty, and had an affair with the rebels, Hu Weiyong, and planned indiscriminately. In addition, the Japanese colluded with bandits and roamed the coast of our Ming Dynasty, and carried out looting."

Xu Jin said: "In other words, Taizu banned the seas back then because the Japanese pirates plundered the people along the coast?"

Fei Hong nodded: "That's right!"

In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a ban on the sea and refused to go into the sea, it did happen after the "Hu Weiyong case". Lao Zhu was worried that the powerful men on the coast would use overseas forces to subvert the Ming Dynasty, so he implemented a ban on the sea, blocking maritime traffic and making it impossible for coastal people to access overseas forces.

Xu Jin said: "For example, building a house requires adapting to local conditions, and cultivating crops requires adapting to the times. The same is true for policies and regulations. The government orders formulated at the beginning may not be suitable for the present. Now that Japan and North Korea have already paid tribute to our dynasty, there is naturally no need to ban the sea."

Fei Hongtan said: "However, the coastal people are still often invaded by Japanese pirates."

"That's because of the lack of trade and trade, the land in the coastal areas is not suitable for farming, and the local people cannot go into the sea to fish, so they cannot continue their lives. They can only go into the sea to become pirates and collude with Japanese people to plunder their compatriots."

Fei Hong frowned without saying a word!

Xu Jin continued: "If the city is open, the brigades will turn into merchants, and if the city is banned, the merchants will turn into brigades. Therefore, as long as the coast is opened and the people are allowed to do business with the Japanese, the people have a way to make a living, and the Japanese have a legitimate way to obtain the necessary supplies. In this way, the Japanese pirates on the coast will naturally disappear, and there is no need to spend a single soldier or a soldier."

Fei Hong nodded, and had to admit that Xu Jin's analysis was very reasonable and said indifferently: "As soon as the sea ban is opened, commerce and trade are prevalent, and the people are rushing to go to business, which will lead to desertion of the fields and affect the country's foundation. Has Ziqian considered this?"

Xu Jin secretly knelt, Master Fei is a sensible person. Not to mention a feudal society based on agriculture, even a modern society with world trade integration, it is quite dangerous if a country loses agriculture.

For example, in China, since the reform and opening up, the economy has developed rapidly, the population has flowed to cities, and the land in rural areas has been lost (Note: The fields in my hometown are no longer planted, and at first glance they are full of weeds and are continuous). Although food can be supplemented through imports, once wars and famines occur, there will be no source of food, which is quite dangerous. It is not impossible for the entire country to collapse. Unfortunately, the above does not seem to pay attention to the problem of land in rural areas, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "There has been too much filtered. The coastal area is not the grain production area of ​​our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the opening of the sea ban will not have a great impact on the grain output of our country. However, the coastal people can obtain considerable profits in commerce and eliminate the Japanese disaster. Why not do it?
