Chapter 921 Analysis
When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he was a little silly.He suddenly discovered that his adoptive father Li Kuiqi seemed to be much worse than Zheng Zhilong in playing tricks and tricks.

So, he saw Zheng Zhilong in the back office again, called his confidantes, and ordered them to quietly monitor the entire navy, focusing on those people who went ashore, secretly following things like that.

At about this time, Liu Guoneng, governor of Fuzhou's yamen, hurriedly brought a few book offices to meet Sun Chuanting in the back hall.Of course, Ma San naturally followed.When he saw Sun Chuanting, although his face was still expressionless, Liu Guoneng reported happily: "Lord Zhongcheng, the tax statistics for half a year have come out, and a total of 87 six taels of tax silver has been collected."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two secretary offices to come forward and present the account book and said, "Here are the details of the account, please read it, Mr. Zhongcheng!"

For him, he collected as much as 87 taels of silver in half a year, which is simply unimaginable. Compared with the previous time when he opened the sea, it was only 2 taels of silver a year, which is really an increase of many times!
Sun Chuanting listened, and nodded slightly. For his confidant, he finally showed a smile, and pointed with his finger, asking those book offices to put the accounts aside.

"Lord Zhongcheng, I estimate that the second half of the year will definitely be more than this amount. It is estimated that the total tax payment for a year will probably reach about 200 million taels!" Liu Guoneng said happily, and then said with a little regret, "If the sea is not peaceful now, pirates are rampant, and smuggling is also rampant, otherwise, I will feel that it is possible to double it again!"

Speaking of this, he cupped his fists to congratulate Sun Chuanting and said: "With so much tax money, the emperor must be very happy, and at the end I wish Lord Zhongcheng an early promotion!"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting shook his head, and said lightly: "It's far away. The basic line that the emperor requires me to collect taxes is 1000 million taels, and now it's only 200 million taels. It's a far cry!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guoneng opened his mouth wide in surprise. The astronomical figure of 1000 million taels directly scared him.

After a while, he came back to his senses and saw Sun Chuanting looking through those account books, he couldn't help but said: "Master Zhongcheng, isn't the figure of 1000 million taels a bit exaggerated? Even if the navy destroys all the pirates Well, the world is peaceful, that’s impossible, isn’t it? What’s more, with so many pirates now, with the strength of the navy, it’s impossible to achieve universal peace, at least in the short term, right?”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting put down his account, looked up at him, and said confidently, "Don't underestimate that Zheng Zhilong. Since he can emerge from many pirates and become the largest sea force, he still has his back on the imperial court." , with the support of the official and the attention of the emperor, even if the other pirates are rampant for a while, they will definitely not be his opponents!"

For this point, Sun Chuanting believed that his eyes would never make a mistake!Zheng Zhilong is absolutely capable, in terms of skill and strategy, he is the best among pirates.Their pirate battles are just like fighting on land. The reason is the same. As long as they are good at finding opportunities, they can win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak.Now, in his famous battle back then, he was only a mere three hundred yamen servants, but he was able to defeat tens of thousands of thieves in one fell swoop!
After listening to his words, Liu Guoneng was stunned for a while, or he had stayed in Fujian for a long time and knew a little bit more about the forces in the sea. After he came back to his senses, he asked a little doubtfully: " What if we add those western barbarians? They are flying far away, and Zheng Shen will face them, so there is no bargain, right?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly cracked, revealing a hint of contempt, obviously a bit disdainful, so he analyzed it to Liu Guoneng: "Those Western barbarians, whose hometown is far away, come to my Daming. It’s just a tree without roots, just duckweed on the water. Even if it’s powerful, so what? Zheng Zhilong’s navy is backed by the imperial court, has the support of his own official, and the attention of the emperor, so how can he care about a team of hardworking and expeditionary troops?”

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "The strength of those Xiyi can only be used to bully those foreign and small countries. Otherwise, once Daming is offended, the emperor will be furious. These Xiyi seem to be powerful. Do you believe it can be instantly wiped out?"

Seeing that Liu Guoneng opened his mouth wide when he heard it, he seemed to be surprised by this statement, and his face was somewhat skeptical.Sun Chuanting couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. For his confidant, he had to teach again: "Remember, fighting is always a human being, and whether the weapon is advanced or not is not the decisive factor. Otherwise, all dynasties, generations, There is no place where rebellion overthrows the government. In addition, there are many such examples in our history books. Usually, you should also learn to read and read more books!"

Although Liu Guoneng didn't know how many such examples there were in the history books, he believed in Sun Chuanting. Now that Mr. Zhongcheng said so, he nodded in conviction and said, "The general understands!"

If Emperor Chongzhen was here, he might add to Sun Chuanting's words that whether the weapon is advanced or not, and when it reaches an overwhelming technological advantage, it is the weapon that determines victory.But the human aspect is also a very important factor.As far as Sun Chuanting pointed out, the current gap between Xiyi and Daming Navy is indeed not so bad that they have an overwhelming technical advantage. Therefore, it has to be said that the final result of the war between the two sides really depends on the people.

For this point, in the original history, only with the support of the Fujian local government, Zheng Zhilong defeated the combined forces of the Netherlands and Liu Xiang in the Luowan naval battle, thus establishing his position as the sea supremacy, which is a clear proof.

Just when the conversation between the two of them came to an end, Sun Chuanting suddenly received a notification from the system and quickly entered the chat group. It was Emperor Chongzhen who sent him a decree: "Xiyi missionary Tang Ruowang is secretly preaching in Fujian, The meeting is scheduled to be held on an island near Fujian tomorrow morning. Sun Qing sent people to take them all together. Tang Ruowang was escorted to Beijing, and the other foolish people who gathered were exiled and naturalized."

Sun Chuanting was taken aback when he heard this.He immediately understood that there must be a factory guard who was active under his rule and discovered this first.He quickly replied: "Observe the order!"

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen went on to say: "The people from Dongchang are waiting outside the governor's office, and he will lead your people there."

It turned out that after Wang Chengen confirmed the news, it was not easy to expose his fact that he was in Taiping Port. If he directly sent a soldier to mobilize the navy, he did not have the right to do so, and he would lose face to Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, so he directly reported to Emperor Chongzhen was able to repay the merits and leave the finishing work to Sun Chuanting, so he did so.

Right now, Wang Chengen's focus has shifted to another matter.

　The recommendation ticket is 1669, that is, two changes are owed, and it will be paid back today.
