The rise of the poor

Chapter 2150 I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice

"Zhu Ping'an is just a governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What qualifications does he have to lift the maritime ban?" After Xue Tao exclaimed, she thought of a flaw and couldn't help asking.

At this moment, Xue Tao couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart, as he had found the flaw in one go!

Zhu Ping'an is just the governor of Zhejiang. What qualifications does he have to lift the ban on sea trade? This is a power only the emperor has. Zhu Ping'an must be fooling around. Mao Haifeng is just helping the tyrant by passing on the message to Zhu Ping'an!

At this time, Wang Zhi also turned his gaze to Mao Haifeng.

Mao Haifeng replied confidently, "I also asked Zhu Ping'an about this question, and he said that he really did not have the authority to lift the maritime ban."

Hearing this, Xue Tao could not help but get excited, "Your Majesty, listen, listen, Zhu Ping'an himself admitted that he had no right to lift the maritime ban. He knew clearly that he had no right to lift the maritime ban, but he still brought it up. It's obvious that he was trying to fool Your Majesty!"

"Shut up, Old Xue, and let Haifeng finish speaking." Wang Zhi glared at Xue Tao.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I, I will shut up." Xue Tao shrank his neck and shut his mouth when Wang Zhi stared at him.

Mao Haifeng couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth in disdain. He despised these old guys who took advantage of their age the most!

To survive among the Japanese pirates, you need strength, not seniority. What's the point of your age, you incompetent old thing!

If you hadn't relied on being King Hui's fellow villager and a member of King Hui's founding team, with your level of ability, you'd be at best a squad leader!

The old guy always complains in front of outsiders, saying that I became the ship owner thanks to my adoptive father's help, and threatens that he can also do it.

I bother!

Don’t take a pee and take a photo of yourself!

You, the general, are the result of your adoptive father's care. This old guy is loyal but his military command is shit. When commanding a battle, he would just say "Charge for me!". He couldn't even defeat the officers and soldiers when commanding a battle alone. He also suffered repeated defeats in the fights with the Japanese pirates. Even if you let a pig command, he would be ten times better than him!

Even so, he still feels good about himself all day long, as if being a general is a waste of his talents!

Keep an eye on my fleet all day!

You fool with no self-awareness! Even if I fail or am removed, it will never be your turn to steer this fleet!

After despising Xue Tao in his heart, Mao Haifeng continued to repeat Zhu Ping'an's words, "Zhu Ping'an said that he has no right to lift the maritime ban, but he has a hundred ways to circumvent the ban; and, he said that if my adoptive father cooperates, he is 80% sure to convince the current emperor to lift the maritime ban and accept wealth from all over the world."

As soon as Mao Haifeng finished speaking, Wang Zhi could not help but applaud and cheer, "Well said, open the sea ban and take in the wealth from all over the world! Just from this sentence, we can see that Zhu Ping'an understands maritime trade. Yes, the wealth from all over the world is innumerable, and the barbarian countries such as the Red Haired Barbarians have already gained the upper hand. If it is delayed any longer, the overseas countries will become theirs!"

"Foster father, Zhu Ping'an told me clearly that he released his godmother, godmother, and younger brother as a gesture of goodwill to you. He asked me to bring you a message, hoping to have a drink with him and discuss important matters together."

Seeing that the time was right, Mao Haifeng took the opportunity to step forward and convey to Wang Zhi the words that Zhu Ping'an had asked him to convey.

"Your Majesty, this must be a Hongmen Banquet. Zhu Ping'an must be a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. He has no good intentions!"

Xue Tao's voice came out.

"Eh? Uncle Xue, am I hallucinating? Just now, my foster father told you to shut up. Did he ever tell you to speak?"

Mao Haifeng looked at Xue Tao in a weird way.

Xue Tao's face suddenly turned blue and red, like a chameleon. It was so exciting that Mao Haifeng couldn't suppress his smile like AK.

"Don't tease your Uncle Xue." Wang Zhi reached out and patted the back of Mao Haifeng's head, and said indifferently, "Old Xue is also loyal."

"Loyalty is good, but loyalty without a clear direction may lead to mistakes." Mao Haifeng shrugged.

"Nephew Haifeng, you are talking nonsense. How can loyalty lead to mistakes? Only indecision and hesitation will lead to mistakes!"

With Wang Zhi's protection, Xue Tao stood up straight again.

"Haha, Uncle Xue, have you forgotten Chen Sipan?" Mao Haifeng asked Xue Tao.

Xue Tao was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "He's just a defeated general. What's so worthy of mentioning about him?"

"Uncle Xue, you still need to read more books. It's okay to rely on courage when you are doing small things, but as your godfather's business is getting bigger and bigger, we have to rely on wisdom when we help him." Mao Haifeng said with a chuckle.

"Aren't you just beating around the bush and saying that I'm not smart enough?! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."

Xue Tao snorted.

"Haha, no wonder Uncle Xue can't do anything well, it turns out he has spent all his time eating salt. He eats more than the rice I do. Haha, I eat at least one pound of rice a day, which is three hundred and sixty pounds a year. I am thirty-two years old this year, and the amount of food I eat before I reach adulthood is halved. By this calculation, I have eaten about eight thousand pounds of rice. Haha, then Uncle Xue has eaten eight thousand pounds of salt. Wow, eight thousand pounds of salt. Uncle Xue, you do nothing all day long but eat salt, right?!" Mao Haifeng laughed and said sarcastically.

"I" Xue Tao found that he was no match for Mao Haifeng in a quarrel, and he couldn't help but snorted, "What do you mean by mentioning Chen Sipan just now?!"

"Have you forgotten how Chen Sipan lost?" Mao Haifeng asked.

"Don't you just want to say that you are awesome? It's you who are awesome. You led people to sneak into Chen Sipan's birthday party, cooperated with the king to attack from both inside and outside, killed Chen Sipan, captured his nephew Chen Si, and swallowed up the remaining members of Chen Sipan's gang." Xue Tao said unhappily. Bah, don't you just want to show off your brilliance? !

"Uncle Xue, the reason I was able to sneak into Chen Sipan's birthday party was all thanks to his nephew Chen Si, have you forgotten?!"

Mao Haifeng said.

"Ah?" Xue Tao was stunned for a moment. He deliberately ignored the fact that Mao Haifeng had made great contributions.

"Uncle Xue, do you think Chen Si is loyal to Chen Sipan?" Mao Haifeng asked.

"Of course he was loyal. When Chen Sipan was killed and Chen Si was captured, on the seventh day after Chen Sipan's death, after offering sacrifices to Chen Sipan, Chen Si committed suicide by taking poison in front of Chen Sipan's grave." Xue Tao said.

"Uncle Xue, do you know that I was allowed into the birthday party by Chen Si with my elite Japanese pirates? At that time, Chen Sipan had a birthday party and invited guests. Chen Sipan asked Chen Si to warmly entertain every guest. I brought people with birthday gifts to celebrate his birthday, but he actually warmly entertained me and invited us into the birthday party. Haha, we definitely wouldn't be polite. Uncle Xue, do you think this is a bad thing to be loyal? Chen Si committed suicide by taking poison in front of Chen Sipan's grave because he blamed himself."

Mao Haifeng said with a laugh.

Xue Tao was silent. (End of this chapter)
