Chapter 181 Candlelight Night Talk

Lin Yiyang is quite talkative. He and Yu Xiaotian sit in Yu Xiaotian's study, tasting tea and talking at the same time. He looks relaxed and comfortable.

It's just the scars on his face and the holes in his clothes, which make his performance a little ridiculous.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not laugh at him. After the two sides sat down, they began to laugh. Although Lin Yiyang was not very old, he really read a lot. Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also found that this person was not like ordinary readers, only knew how to read dead books and read those books that could be used in scientific examinations.

From his words, Yu Xiaotian found that Lin Yiyang's reading is very miscellaneous. In addition to the normal four books and five classics, he has also read a lot of books on science and technology, including agriculture, arithmetic, astronomy and geography, military, etc., which is quite rare among scholars in this era.

Therefore, Lin Yiyang's vision is also much broader than that of ordinary readers. At the same time, he is not so pedantic and seems to be very active. However, after all, he is younger and has a limited depth of knowledge. In addition, the level of science and technology in this era is limited, and his understanding of some things is still quite limited.

And Lin Yiyang seems to be very interested in the outside world. When he heard Yu Xiaotian talk about the sea and the mainland in the world, Lin Yiyang was very excited. He repeatedly asked various questions about Xiaotian, especially about Xiaotian's background. Lin Yiyang was very curious and asked about the customs of Australia many times. And geographical location.

Yu Xiaotian, as a half-college student in later generations, received a large amount of information comparable to ordinary people in this era. As for his understanding of the world, if he says he is the second in the world, I guess no one dares to say that he is the first, so he talks about many things to Lin Yiyang. Lin Yiyang felt very fresh and couldn't wait to ask more questions.

When Yu Xiaotian told him how big the world was, Lin Yiyang was a little stunned and muttered, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! I thought I knew a lot, but after listening to the words of the head, I realized that I was just a frog in the well!"

"No wonder, sir, it's just that for a long time, we Chinese have paid too much attention to our own land, but few people are willing to open their eyes and look farther! So far, many of us still don't know that the world has changed! I don't even know how big the world is!

Now the Thais have driven all the warships to the door of our Daming, but what about us? Even began to rampaged along the coast of my Daming, harming the people of the Ming Dynasty! Who saw this and felt this crisis?

And the Thai people are now far more than reaching for the door of our Daming. Their greedy nature has made them reach farther away. In this far east of the sea, there is a very large land. The Thai people are now encroaching on it. There are all kinds of inexhaustible production of gold and silver. The inexhaustible resources, they used the silver they got from there and transported it to the door of our Daming house in exchange for our things!

But few of us know where so much silver comes from and just try to earn this silver from them, but they never thought of expanding their territory farther like them!

It is rude to say that we have lagged far behind the pace of the Thai people in this world. In the long run, it will be a sad end for us Chinese!

Ha ha! It's far away! It's far away! Mr. Lin must think that I, the little bandit leader, do you want to do these things? But I still can't help thinking about it!

Just now, Mr. Lin said that the world is not Wang Tu, and Yu really doesn't like to listen! We don't say it's far, just say that it's not far from here, just a Taiwanese island less than 200 miles away!

If you put such a big island on the map, you will know that this place is close to the Ming Dynasty, but it has never been noticed by anyone in the Ming Dynasty. It is still an enclave!

The red-haired people occupied Penghu Lake, but our Daming officials only thought that Penghu was a Ming territory and could not be lost. They just wanted to expel them from Penghu. That's all. They even did not hesitate to take Taiwan Yuan Island in exchange and watch Taiwan Yuandao, a treasure island, which was given to the Red-haired man for him!

I think Luzon was a Ming Dynasty, but now? However, it was occupied by the Flang machine people or the so-called Gan Lasi people. My people living in Luzon were slaughtered by the Gan Lasi people. Not only did I not send troops to save them, but also did not punish the Gan Lasi people! On the contrary, I regard these Ming people as abandoned people and don't care about their life and death!

How can Thai people think highly of our Daming? Ridiculous! What a lament!"

As Yu Xiaotian spoke, he began to be a little anxious again. Thinking of the changes in the world now, he couldn't help attacking the present court.

But after listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Lin Yiyang did not feel that Yu Xiaotian was ridiculous, but his face slowly sank and said angrily, "How dare Lin laugh at the head of the family!" What the head of the house said is very true. Listening to the words of the head of the house today is really better than reading for ten years!

To be honest, in the early years of Wanli, I heard that the dry people of Luzon Island massacred the Ming people there. My father also talked about it. My father said that some of our ancestors also did business on Luzon Island at that time. Later, some people escaped back and said that the local natives and dry people massacred the local Ming people and asked the government court. To avenge their grievances, but at that time, the imperial government thought that these people were willing to exorbite, which was not enough pity!

At that time, Xu Xue, the governor of Fujian, gathered Lord Xu to cross the sea as a teacher. The victory or defeat was unpredictable. The national body was at stake. How dare he dare to start a provocation? He did not want the court to send troops and sit back and watch these Ming people being slaughtered by Fanyi!

I am also deeply humiliated to mention this matter today! It's really stifling to think of my Ming Dynasty, but to treat my people like this!"

"That's all, even if I don't mention these things, I will be angry as soon as I mention it! Although I was not born in the Ming Dynasty, I still regarded myself as the Ming people! In the past few years, he went through a lot of hardships (this man didn't blush) before he finally came back here!

Originally, Yu just wanted to find a place to settle down, have a meal, and have a way to live, but he didn't think of such an idea, but it still couldn't be realized.

A hundred households on Funing's side are greedy for money, but listen to the slanders and insist that they are pirates. They want to arrest me to send me to the officials for crime, and also want to take us as slaves, and want to put us to death!

Yu was forced to be helpless and had to go to the sea to steal!

Although you scholars hate us, not all of us are bad people, and even most of us have to take this road because they are forced to do nothing! Can it all be our fault?

Think about how chaotic the coastal area of Fuzhou was before I entered Nanri Island. Pirates were rampant, the fishermen were rampant, and the fishermen did not live, but the government did not care.

Looking at the current area of Fuzhou, although Yu does not dare to say that the coastal people are peaceful, has Yu ever attacked the land in the past two years?

However, Yu cut off many small local bandits, killed several vicious fishermen, and gave peace to the coastal people. Is what Yu did worse than the government? Since the government does not act, we can't be blamed for not obeying our education! I'll take care of what they can't control! It's better than no one cares!"

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Lin Yiyang nodded helplessly and said, "Yu's words are reasonable. Over the years, the court has paid more attention to the construction of slaves in the north, and the southern coastal government's defense against Japan is increasingly lax, so that although the trouble of Japanese pirates has decreased, the trouble of pirates is becoming more and more serious!

The government officials do not repair themselves. In the fish and meat village, the royal powerful and nobles have annexed the land, causing more and more people to lose their land, and the people have no choice but to devote themselves to theft.

However, the government is unable to calm the sea. There is a serious shortage of officers and soldiers, and the sailors do not repair warships, which makes the coastal defense useless!

To tell the truth, the reason why Lin is willing to come to Nanri Island to do the accounting room is not just to eat. What's more, Lin has heard a lot about the head and the sea wolves under his command recently. He is very curious about your department and wants to come here to find out and see if it is rumored. It's like a paradise!

After Lin arrived at Nanri Island, he took time to observe on the island, so that your department mistakenly thought that he was an old spy of Chu Cai, which led to today's misunderstanding!

Don't you know what the head of the family believes? But do you still think it's Chu Cai or someone else's spy?"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian immediately laughed loudly and shook his head and said, "In fact, when I saw you at the village gate today, I felt that you were not like a spy, otherwise you would not have come forward to ask about this matter!" Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be tortured in the execution room of my execution hall!

Now that you and I have talked happily and have said so many words, I don't doubt that you are a detailed work sent by Mr. Chu Cai! Mr. Lin, please rest assured!

Come on! Did the brother who went to Lin's house come back?

When Liu Wang heard Yu Xiaotian calling him, he immediately walked into the room and reported: "The big boss, the brother who went has already come back, and it's almost three days!" The sentry brothers replied that the Lin family had confirmed that Mr. Lin was a distant relative of their shopkeeper and was willing to guarantee Mr. Lin to ensure that Mr. Lin was not a detailed work sent by Mr. Chu Cai!

In addition, Manager Lin also came to see Mr. Lin before dark, hoping that the big master could return to Mr. Lin. Today, he misunderstood that he was willing to pay a fine and promised to restrain Mr. Lin in the future to ensure that there would be no such misunderstanding in the future!

But just now, I saw that the big master and Mr. Lin talked happily, and I didn't dare to disturb the big master, so I temporarily withdrew them, and the shopkeeper Lin's side has also persuaded them to go back!"
