Yang Cong really didn't expect that Wang Zhi would say this. He originally thought that since these people were summoned by Wang Zhi, as long as Wang Zhi spoke, these people should stop.

He never thought that he could wipe out all the pirates and Japanese pirates in one go. He also knew that this was a long process, and the current priority was to let these pirates and Japanese pirates calm down first.

As long as these people calm down, it will be easy to deal with. He can pull and fight. Those who are willing to accept the recruitment but have no bad achievements will let the others go, and even give them a small official. Those who are unwilling to accept the recruitment or do many evil deeds will join forces with Wang Zhi to wipe them out.

Unexpectedly, these people didn't listen to Wang Zhi anymore.

He couldn't help but say in surprise: "Since you can't even control it, why did you call them here?"

When Wang Zhi heard this, hesitated for a while, then he gritted his teeth and leaned forward and whispered: "Sir, the young man doesn't want to do this. The young man just wants to do business with peace of mind. He never thought of fighting with the court. It was Yan Song, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Cabinet, who was the Minister of Personnel, who asked the young man to do this."

ah!

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that Yan Song was bad, but he didn't expect that Yan Song was bad to this extent.

This guy actually colluded with pirates and Japanese pirates and asked them to come to the coast of Ming Dynasty to rob. What's wrong with his mind?

He was stunned for a while, and then he said curiously: "Why did Yan Song do this, and why are you doing this?"

Wang Zhi said without hesitation: "Didn't you think the court can open the sea ban? As long as the court can open the sea ban, the small one can do business with confidence. No need is to worry at all times like now. Lord Yan also said that as long as the small one gathers all pirates and Japanese pirates to make trouble in the southeast and puts pressure on the court, the emperor will agree to reopen the sea ban."

It is obvious that this guy was deceived by Yan Song. In history, Yan Song had never mentioned any ban on sea. Yan Song was treating this guy as a gun.

So, what is Yan Song’s purpose?

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

From a historical perspective, although Yan Song is not a big deal, he is still more inclined to wipe out pirates and Japanese pirates. In history, Hu Zongxian was able to gain Yan Song's support to make a difference in the southeast. Even Yan Song's godson Zhao Wenhua went to the southeast to participate in the eradication of pirates and Japanese pirates. This is enough to show that Yan Song's attitude towards pirates and Japanese pirates is mainly about clearing out.

Now, Wang Zhi actually said that Yan Song supported the maritime ban, what a joke!

What are the benefits of opening the sea ban? Now that the wealthy maritime merchants have relied on him. If they don’t open the sea ban, they can still make huge profits through smuggling trade. If the sea ban is opened, what can he get?

Yan Song wanted to put pressure on the court in this way, but his purpose was definitely not to open up the maritime ban. Based on historical analysis, Yan Song was likely to want to send his own people to be responsible for the removal of pirates and Japanese pirates, so that he could control the overseas trade between the entire Southeast and even Japan and South China.

Thinking of this, Yang Cong finally understood a little. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Master Wang, you may have been fooled. Yan Song never mentioned the opening of the sea ban in the court. Instead, he recommended his confidant Yang Shun to come to the southeast to clear out the pirates and Japanese pirates."

ah!

Now, it was Wang Zhi's turn to be shocked.

He said a little disbelief: "Sir, is it true? That's not what the confidants sent by Lord Yan said."

Yang Cong couldn't help but sneer: "The confidants sent by Yan Song would naturally not say that, but the fact is that now. The person he recommended did not come, but I came. The emperor did not ask me to clear the sea ban. I am responsible for extermination of pirates and Japanese pirates."

When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but look solemn. At this time, he felt something was wrong, because he had never heard any sound of opening the sea ban. Instead, the court sent a governor to fully eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates.

These are all facts, and he cannot believe them.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say a little depressed: "Sir, what should you do if the young one should do? Just retreat? Even if the young one is willing to retreat, other pirates and Japanese pirates are not willing."

This is a good thing, it's better if people don't want to.

Of course, Yang Cong did not care about the lives of the coastal civilians for his achievements. The reason why he thought this was very good was for Wang Zhi alone.

He can't control other pirates and Japanese pirates at this moment, but Wang Zhi has the chance to conquer him now, because his parents, wife and children are in his hands. Moreover, judging from Wang Zhi's performance, this guy really just wants to do business well, and even Wang Zhi regrets that he has attracted other pirates and Japanese pirates.

These are all good things. He seized the opportunity to tentatively tentatively: "Owner Wang, I also want to open the sea ban so that everyone can do business well. Do you believe it?"

Wang Zhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, but soon he sighed with a sad face again: "Sir, it's not that young people can trust you. The problem is that the emperor sent to clear out pirates and Japanese pirates. Is this contrary to opening the sea ban?"

Yang Cong nodded slightly and said, "From this point, this is indeed the case, but it is not a scam for me to open the sea ban. You can ask for it by taking someone to inquire. I am like you, and I am also a merchant. Moreover, our Yang family is a relatively famous merchant in Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian. I am supportive of doing business."

After all, Wang Zhi has been overseas for a long time, and he really doesn't know Yang Cong's background. He didn't expect that the governor was born as a merchant like him. He said a little surprised: "Sir, I didn't expect that you are born as a merchant. Since you support the opening of the maritime ban, why don't you give advice to the court?"

Yang Cong sighed helplessly: "Oh, many things cannot be done just by wanting to do. The current situation is not suitable for opening the maritime ban. You must understand this. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely submit a report to the court and propose to open the maritime ban."

Wang Zhi was puzzled and said, "Sir, why is it not appropriate to open the maritime ban in the current situation?"

Yang Cong explained patiently: "It's very simple. Why did the imperial court implement the maritime ban? Isn't it just a pirate and Japanese pirates? The pirates and Japanese pirates are so fierce now. How could the imperial court open the maritime ban? I want to submit a memorial at this time and request the maritime ban to be opened. The emperor must dismiss the official from his post and investigate."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi nodded in frustration and said, "You are right. In this situation, the court will not agree to open the maritime ban. Alas, it is all the small ones that cause trouble, and the small ones that are ashamed. I don't know what the adults should do to let the small ones out of their families."

Hehe, the heat is almost done, you can start recruiting.

Yang Cong asked calmly: "Boss Wang, have you ever considered serving the court and doing things for the emperor?"

Wang Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

He had really considered this issue, but he thought this idea was a bit unrealistic.
