The rise of the poor

Chapter 719
Because there is an ice basin to cool down, the temperature inside the study is seven or eight degrees lower than outside, and the temperature is suitable and comfortable, not much more than the current air-conditioned room.

The bear boy and the little loli in the study were sitting on chairs with their short legs swaying, holding a bowl of milk melon and fruit ice in one hand, and a small spoon in the other, digging and eating happily.

The bear child eats milk all over his mouth, and the outer corner of his mouth is also full of milk. It looks like he has a white beard. He is also a snack, but the little loli girl is white and clean.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, tell us another story." The bear yelled loudly while eating.

Little Lolita also looked at Zhu Ping'an expectantly.

Zhu Ping'an had just finished telling them a story. In addition, he had been working overtime in Wuyi Temple for the past few days, and his body was a little tired. After telling a story, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help taking a nap. Woke up with a yell.

Looking at the big watery eyes that Little Lolita looked forward to, Zhu Pingan cheered up, nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll tell you another story, um, what story should I tell?"

Zhu Pingan paused, thought for a while and said, "Well, then I will tell you a story about pirates in Malacca."

The Malacca pirates that Zhu Pingan mentioned were actually adapted Pirates of the Caribbean, but they were transformed into Malacca in the South China Sea of ​​Ming Dynasty. Well, yes, there were no disputes in the South China Sea at this time, and those small countries in Southeast Asia were still paying tribute to Ming Dynasty.If we put it into the era when Zheng He sailed to the Western Seas more than 100 years ago, let alone the South China Sea, even the sea power in the Indian Ocean was in the hands of Daming.

"Brother-in-law, what is a pirate?" Little Lolita raised her chubby hand, blinking her big eyes and asking in puzzlement.

"A pirate is a bandit on the sea, a bandit who specializes in robbing merchant ships and other ships on the sea." Zhu Pingan explained.

"Then they are bad people." Little Lolita Niuniu nodded.

"Then I'm going to catch the pirates in the future and confiscate the money they robbed." Brother Rui, the bear kid with bright eyes, waved his fat paws and made a grabbing motion.

Zhu Pingan couldn't help but smiled, touched the heads of little Lolita and Xiongzi, and began to talk about the Malacca pirates:
"In this world, apart from our Ming Dynasty, there are many other countries, with tens of millions of people in the big ones and tens of thousands in the small ones. Some countries are rich in ivory, some countries have mountains of gold and silver, some countries have There are gems and spices everywhere, and some countries are poor and only have population. Walk west along the Silk Road, and after a few years, there will be a western country near the sea, and these countries have relatively developed navigation.”

"Is it more developed than us?" the bear boy asked.

"In the past, we were not as developed. When Zheng He sailed to the West, the giant ships were much more advanced than the West. But since our Daming Sea Ban, our giant ships have disappeared, and we have not developed new ships. Now Western navigation is more advanced than the West. We are developed, and the artillery and muskets on their ships are better than ours." Zhu Pingan touched the bear's head, and explained slowly, and by the way, popularized some knowledge about the West and sea power to them since they were young, and watered them to open their eyes. Eyes see the buds of the world.

Da Ming needs to open his eyes to see the world. Now Da Ming has scuttled huge ships and burned the charts, while the West is setting sail, discovering and opening up new sea routes, and chasing and overtaking Da Ming to achieve corner overtaking.

In history, the Ming Dynasty continued to sink, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was closed to the outside world, and finally it was reduced to the point where any Western country can pose for a fancy dress, and it was even blackmailed by the Eastern vassal state—now the country of Japanese pirates—3000 million to 50 million taels Silver, what is the concept of [-] taels of silver? It is the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for [-] years, and the country of Japanese pirates has quickly realized the modernization of the country by relying on these [-] taels of silver, and entered the ranks of developed countries in one fell swoop. Moreover, it continued to invade our country with the intention of devouring it.

Zhu Pingan does not want history to repeat itself. If Daming starts to change from now on, it is not too late, and there is still a lot to do. He can participate in the magnificent era of great voyages and get a share of the action. No, Daming will share the big pot.

"Western countries have advanced navigation. They rely on strong ships and cannons to conquer those small countries that are rich in gold, silver, and spices, and ship the gold, silver, and spices back to the West. Those countries that do not have special products such as gold, silver, etc. Western countries capture people as slaves. And the Malacca I just mentioned is a necessary place for Western countries to transport gold, silver, and spices back to the West.”

"Because there are so many gold, silver, spices and slaves, Malacca pirates also appeared. They robbed the western gold ship and made a fortune. The most famous pirate was the young Captain Jack. He owned a ship that made the western The Black Pearl that the nation fears."

Zhu Ping'an slowly preached, and the modern famous Pirates of the Caribbean was born from Zhu Ping'an's mouth.

The little bear listened very seriously, more seriously than ever, and was also very excited. He would bark his teeth and claws excitedly when he heard Xingchu.

But the little Lolita Niuniu didn't seem very interested, she dozed off after listening to it, her little head bouncing bit by bit.

Seeing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but smiled, picked up little Lolita with both hands, and carried her to the soft couch in the study.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not sleepy, I still want to listen." Little Lolita Niuniu grabbed Zhu Pingan's sleeve, blinking her big watery eyes pitifully.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it here." Zhu Pingan smiled, took off his shoes, and sat on the bed.

Seeing this, the bear child ran over on short legs, holding two ice bowls of milk, melon and fruit for him and little loli, and wanted to go to bed with him.

However, when the bear child ran to the bed, the two ice bowls in his hand were not properly held, and they were suddenly buckled on his chest.

They had been eating these two ice bowls for a while, and more than half of them had melted.

Now, with one buckle, the milk and melon fruits in the two ice bowls poured all over his clothes, covering him from top to bottom, making him sticky.

Just now, the brat was about to climb up the soft slope, Zhu Pingan reached out to stop the brat, "You can't."

Seeing that Xiongzi was sticky and dirty, Zhu Pingan didn't change his clothes, thinking that Xiongzi was brought by the second lady, and she should have a change of clothes, so he said to Xiongzi, "Go to your second sister, Tell your sister to take off her clothes and come to bed."

The bear boy froze for a moment.
"Go." Zhu Pingan waved his hand.

"Oh." The bear boy turned his head and ran out.

In the living room, Li Shu was talking about jewelry with the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion. The Second Miss was full of praise for Li Shu's Dongzhu earrings, saying that she had never seen such a round Dongzhu.

At this time, the bear child came running in a rogue, came up to the second lady, and said loudly: "Second sister, my brother-in-law asked you to take off your clothes and go to bed with him."

(⊙ o ⊙) Ah!
The second lady who was holding the Dongzhu earrings took two steps back in fright, as if being struck by a thunderbolt, she opened her small mouth wide, and turned her eyes dullly to the brat, as if she was stupid, her face changed in an instant It was bluish white, and then turned extremely red.

Li Shu was also startled by Xiong Zi's voice, and her heart stopped for a moment.

The little girls in the living room were all dumbfounded.

The air seemed to stagnate.

Nima is cheating.

Zhu Ping'an in the study almost fell off the bed when he heard the words, his back was so frightened that cold sweat dripped down his back.
