The Reborn Lady is Farming

   Qi Haoran was taking the little bear to soak in the water, and a guard who was good at swimming was teaching them hand-to-hand.

  Little Lion and the three children rushed over cheering all the way, Qi Haoran almost choked on hearing their voices.

   Several guards stopped the three children before they rushed into the lake. Tiger head looked at his father and brother soaked in the water, stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes, shouting: "I want to play in the water too."

  Little Lion and Xiao An quickly took off their coats.

Qi Haoran hurriedly asked someone to hold them. He dared to let the bear go into the water because the bear was already six years old and had always been strong, but now he has developed internal strength. How dare he let them into the water?

  Qi Haoran didn't put on his shirt, he directly lifted the three boys away from the lake, and then coaxed: "You are young now, wait until you are older before entering the water."

   Hutou struggled, "I also want to serve the country."

  The little lion nodded fiercely and said solemnly: "Dad, you can't discriminate against our young age."

   Xiao An was confused, "You can serve the country by playing with water?"

   "We are not playing in the water, we are training. If we swim well, we can protect our family and the country in the future. This is what the mother said." The little lion seriously relayed the mother's words.

  The tiger's head "um, um," responded.

Qi Haoran couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Stinky boy, you have such a good memory for memorizing these, why is it so difficult for you to remember the family tree? And you," Qi Haoran pointed at the tiger's head, "You Don't follow your brother with everything, it should be, you are a brother!"

   The little lion said angrily: "It's clear that I'm the elder brother, and you have to go back on it, Daddy."

   Qi Haoran choked and said, "Even if Hutou becomes a younger brother, he can't always listen to you, he has to have his own ideas."

The little bear had already swam two or three rounds. Seeing that his father was still reasoning with his three younger brothers, he shouted: "Dad, let the younger brothers go into the water. I think they must learn faster than you, and you can see that I can now. You won't float up after swimming."

   Qi Haoran: "..."

   Qi Haoran stared at the little bear and didn't speak. Is this bear kid here to insert a knife for him?

   "Mother said it, children learn faster, Dad, you have to listen to your mother."

   Qi Haoran regretted extremely, if he could go back in time, he would definitely not allow a few children to sleep in the same bed with them, even if they cried and shouted that the room was unfamiliar and couldn't sleep.

   All the words of their husband and wife were learned by these three boys. The tiger head is fine. This boy will never memorize things for more than one night, but the little lion can remember it for several nights, not to mention the little bear who has completely memorized things now.

He didn't know if swimming would be useful to them, but he said that serving the country was completely nonsense. He promised Mu Yangling to come and learn to swim. First, he was idle and the weather was extremely hot. Second, he gave it a try. His attitude came, for him, land warfare was far more important than water warfare.

  Because Daqi's enemies are almost all from the land, such as Xixia, Jin Kingdom, and Tubo, which has gradually become stronger.

   But A Ling, who has always obeyed him strategically, is as important as taking medicine and insisting on the sea and the land.

   Not forcing him to learn to swim, but also to write a strategy theory on the importance of the sea to Daqi for the emperor to see.

   Knowing that A Ling hated pirates so much, he shouldn't have told him about the pirates along the coast.

It turned out that when Mu Yangling learned that Fan Zijin was going to work in Guangdong, he sighed that they had to separate again. Qi Haoran took out Fan Zijin's meritorious deeds and told Mu Yangling that they would be able to return to work after two or three years. Reunion, when the time comes, Fan Zijin will probably not be released.

  Since he mentioned Guangdong's sea trade and talked about Fujian's pirates, Qi Haoran was filled with righteous indignation and sighed that the price of salt was going to rise.

   Mu Yangling was shocked. He didn't expect that the southeastern coastal area was threatened by pirates at this time. According to the timeline, it should be the Southern Song Dynasty in the previous life. The maritime trade was very prosperous, and the Southern Song Dynasty would not be bullied too badly at sea.

   But the situation in Daqi now is obviously different from that in the previous Southern Song Dynasty. Mu Yangling checked the classics, and only then did he know that the cause of the disaster was in Dazhou.

Emperor Sejong who came across should also know the importance of the sea to a country, and the coastline of Dazhou is so long, so he strongly supported maritime trade during his reign. At that time, the imperial court even had a fleet dedicated to the country. Do sea trade business in Southeast Asia.

But the good times didn't last long. When Emperor Gaozong came to the emperor, the emperor disapproved of his father's practice of competing for profit with the people. It should be said that this emperor and his father had different political views. He had to endure the will, but he successively dismantled the fleet of the imperial court, the fleet under Emperor Sejong's name, and later cut the salaries, forages and armaments of the navy, because he also improved the treatment of the army, so this Although the matter was opposed, it was carried out with the support of several army generals.

To the descendants of Emperor Gaozong, because of the threat of Jin and Xixia, they put all their energy on land warfare, the navy was cut down again and again, and in the end it was difficult to maintain the basic army structure. Similarly, the imperial court photo Yu Emperor Sejong's decree could not explicitly ban the sea, but he prevented them from going to sea by increasing the taxation of maritime merchants.

  In the history books, the heaviest tax amounted to 40% of the value of the goods.

  The cost of purchasing goods and the risks of going overseas are all the responsibility of the maritime merchants. The imperial court can take away 40% of the value of the goods by only setting up checkpoints to collect taxes. Deducting all the costs is equivalent to taking 80% of the profits.

The once prosperous maritime trade was reduced at once, and only some rich merchants could persist, but now there are very few maritime merchants who can persist. When foreigners come to buy, as long as they do not go abroad, their taxes are only the same as ordinary businessmen, and there is no additional increase.

   When Emperor Jingyan came, the southeast coast was plundered by pirates, and Jin Guo and Xixia were also eyeing Da Zhou. In order not to be attacked by enemies, he officially banned the sea and asked Zhu Feng brothers to guard Fuzhou, and the coastal situation would be better.

Up to now, only Fuzhou and Guangdong have ports where foreigners can dock. As Fan Zijin said, there are more monks and less porridge, and the maritime trade between the two places is very chaotic. In order to allow foreigners to choose their own goods, the maritime merchants often engage in price wars, but instead let the foreigners get it. Cheap.

  The sea was banned by the threat of pirates. Qi Haoran saw the hardships caused by the fluctuation of salt prices, Fan Zijin saw the depression of sea trade, but Mu Yangling saw that Daqi gave up the entire territorial waters and the sea market.

   Of course, she has this realization not because she has farsighted, but because she has more memories of past lives, standing on the shoulders of history and looking back.
