The Ming Dynasty had been so helpless in the face of this situation, let alone Java. Moreover, Java's coastline is longer and more difficult to defend.
Han Du continued: "Besides, the Marquis doesn't need to kill all the natives."
Zhu Shou didn't understand Han Du's words very much, "If we don't kill them all, how can we still keep them?"
"Of course we have to support them." Han Du explained with a smile: "After all, robbing a house is a one-time deal. If you want to do this business for a long time, you still need to mine. These islands are rich in copper mines. What is copper?
Copper is money."
"Master Marquis, what do you think, you capture these natives, keep them under strict supervision, and then let them go mining. In this way, the money will keep flowing out like water from a spring?"
"Haha, okay." Zhu Shou picked up the wine glass and toasted Han Du, and said with a smile: "Just do what Brother Han said. In the past five years, we will also earn one million taels from him." .??.??
Lan Yu's heart moved after hearing this, and she couldn't help asking: "The emperor really promised to reward you with a reward?"
Zhu Shou didn't speak, just nodded with a smile on his face.
Zhang Yi, who was standing aside, also picked up his wine glass, looked at Zhu Shou with envy, and said, "Brother Zhu, what you have done as governor in the past five years is really worthwhile."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Zhu Shou waved his hand, comforted Zhang Yi, and said boldly: "Don't worry, if we have a bite to eat, all the brothers will have a bite, and everyone will have a share."
"That's not necessary." Lan Yu, as the leader among several people, immediately stood up and expressed his position.
"What you earn is your own. Although we may be envious, we will never covet the benefits of our brothers. Besides, you have been away for five years. It is not easy to be wandering outside. We brothers can't do such a thing yet.
Come."
Wang Bi, Cao Zhen and others nodded in agreement.
"However, from now on, it seems that the governor's position is really promising. The emperor doesn't know why, but he didn't disclose the governor's situation to the officials." Lan Yu paused, looked at a few people solemnly, and said, "Then let's
I also keep my mouth shut, so if there is an opportunity next time, it will be easier to seize it."
Several people looked at each other and nodded and smiled. Of course, the benefits should be reserved for your own people. Who are the others?
The banquet continued, not to mention, watching the singer singing and drinking was really different from usual drinking, it had a unique flavor.
It's quite a feeling that if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone will get drunk.
Seeing that Han Du was watching the singing and dancing with rapt attention, Lan Yu couldn't help but jokingly asked: "Brother Xian, the Jiaofang Division is the best in the capital. Isn't the singer in it stunning? Brother Xian, you have been in charge of the Jiaofang Division for so long, why are you still so anxious?
What does it look like?”
As soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, the others started laughing.
Han Du had no choice but to explain: "Jiaofangsi is Jiaofangsi, and this boat is different. Not to mention, listening to singing and dancing on this boat really has a unique flavor. Later, we will also get a few boats out of Jiaofangsi.
, looking at the Qinhuai River, business will definitely explode."
With Han Du's fixed gaze just now, Lan Yu and others thought he was looking at the singer. What were his thoughts? Unexpectedly, Han Du actually wanted to make money?
"Brother Xian!" Lan Yu couldn't help but point at it, then shook her head helplessly and sighed, "You are truly worthy of being a philanthropic boy. You never forget to find ways to make money wherever you go. You really disgrace the scenery."
What's so bad about making money? Han Du didn't understand.
And not only in the Qinhuai River, there will be opportunities in the future
This business can be expanded to the sea. Thinking about those so-called yachts and the cost of a trip to sea, Han Du was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.
"Not only in the Qinhuai River, we will also take this business to the sea in the future."
"Hai Li?" Lan Yu didn't respond immediately, "Who would be willing to go to the sea?"
Indeed, the sea is still a little too unfamiliar to the common people. Coupled with dangers such as Japanese pirates and wind and waves, few people are willing to go into the sea.
But this situation is not static. Now Lao Zhu will no longer say anything about banning the sea. In the future of the Ming Dynasty, whether navy or merchants go to sea, more and more people will know the sea.
As people gradually become more and more familiar with the sea, the fear caused by the unknown will inevitably begin to disappear. By then, no one may be willing to go out to sea.
This is a good business.
Han Du smiled slightly in his heart and did not explain too much to Lan Yu.
After a day of playing, Han Du came back happily.
The next day, Han Du hadn't gotten up yet. Since being dismissed by Lao Zhu, Han Du had truly felt what it meant to be without an official.
Not only is there no need to sleep, but even if you sleep until midnight, no one will disturb you.
Han Du woke up naturally from his sleep. As soon as he rolled over from bed, he heard a knock on the door.
"Is it Jingyun?"
Thinking that it was Han Jingyun looking for him, Han Du couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past, she opened the door directly and came in, but now she is avoiding it? Could it be that the little girl has finally grown up?
"Uncle, it's me." Uncle Mu's voice sounded from outside the door.
Han Du felt relieved and said casually: "Uncle Mu is here? Come in."
Uncle Mu opened the door and walked in with a look of helplessness. Originally, after Han Du became uncle, Han Du felt it was inappropriate to call him Uncle Mu again, and he bluntly said that he did not dare to accept this title. But Han Du still went his own way, no matter what
No matter how many times Uncle Mu said it, he still called him Uncle Mu.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Uncle Mu, why did you come to me so early?"
Uncle Mu leaned over slightly and said, "Someone is looking for my uncle."
"Who is looking for me?" Han Du was a little strange.
The person who came to find him was either Lao Zhu, or Tang He, Lan Yu and others. Which of these people would wait for Uncle Mu to pass the message? Which one didn't rush in directly? What's too much is that, and
He rushed directly to his house.
"It's a man named Zhang Lei."
Zhang Lei?
Han Du recalled it and suddenly remembered who it was.
"Invite him to the lobby and I'll be right away."
Uncle Mu nodded in agreement and turned around to go out.
After Han Du washed up, he came to the lobby.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Lei, wearing a brocade suit, standing stunned inside.
"Why don't you sit down? Didn't Uncle Mu invite you to sit down?" Han Du was a little confused. The guest came, but he didn't invite you to sit down. Logically speaking, Uncle Mu was also an old concierge, so he wouldn't be so rude.
"Ah?" Zhang Lei suddenly heard a voice and was startled. When he turned around and saw Han Du walking in, he became even more at a loss.
"Yes, I have to stand by myself." After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Han Du. Daming had always been so helpless in the face of this situation, let alone Java. And
, Java's coastline is longer and more difficult to defend.
Han Du continued: "Besides, the Marquis doesn't need to kill all the natives."
Zhu Shou didn't understand Han Du's words very much, "If we don't kill them all, how can we still keep them?"
