Ocean Trade earned a lot of gold coins, and this news spread instantly in Lu Ning's jurisdiction. Many merchants and wealthy merchants went to the government office to inquire about the details, hoping that the government could lead them to overseas for ocean trade. This made Gu Yong and others as big as a bull, and there were many people who came to bother each other every day, and the government looked like they would not give up if they did not agree to the request.

In the end, he couldn't resist it anymore. Gu Yong, Sima Lang, Zhang Ji and several other senior officials ran to Lu Ning's mansion to report. After listening to Gu Yong's statement, Lu Ning burst into laughter and made Gu Yong and others laugh inexplicably.

Sima Lang saw Lu Ning laughing, glared at him, and then said, "Brother, are you laughing? Now there are many people coming to bother the government office every day, which makes us all hurry up and not dare to fight. It has seriously affected the normal office of the government office. Why can you still laugh?"

Police Chief Wei Kai glanced at Lu Ning and said carefully: "Lord, we can only send people to maintain order now and do not dare to catch people indiscriminately. Now our policies are too relaxed and people are raised too high. If we handle them improperly, we will be accused by the people. If we may even get into lawsuits, we will be very difficult to deal with!"

Lu Ning was even more happy after hearing this. That's right. How can you, the power organs, arrest and persecute people randomly? This is a civilized progress. "Haha, what are you anxious about? The people who come to pester are not trying to rebel. They are here to make demands. If the demand is reasonable, why don't we agree? Are the requests they made too much? Or are there any difficulties? You all look like deflated balls."

Gu Yong replied: "My lord, their request is not too much, it is just related to the income of our government office. Of course, some businesses also require us to provide navigation charts for them. Are they saying that the government office is just for the people and serves the people? This is also the scope of the government office serving them."

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said, "It's that simple. Even if we provide them with the navigation chart, it will be useless for them. If we do not have sextant, we will not be able to tell the difference between the south and north. As long as the ships leave the port, it will be hard to move forward, and only death will await them. Besides, except for the warships owned by our military, other ships cannot resist the impact of the strong winds and waves in the sea. The danger of the sea is not something people can imagine. To put it bluntly, sailing in the deep sea is struggling on the line of death and fighting against death."

After saying that, Lu Ning asked Dian Wei to call Fengxiao, Zitai, You'an and others in groups.

After hearing this, Sima Lang said, "Brother, isn't that sextant meter a strict control item of our army? How can it be provided to the people? Besides, warships cannot be sold, otherwise our navy's advantage will be gone, which is not conducive to the development and safety of our navy."

After a while, Guo Jia, Tian Chou, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Mi Zhu and others arrived. After hearing what Gu Yong and others said, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Our army's warships must not be sold. Sextant is the secret equipment of our army, and it cannot be released for civilian use. If there is no sextant, sailing on the sea, even if we use the glasses in our army, it will not work. The vast ocean is endless, and the land cannot be seen for dozens of days. What you can see is sea water and sea water. There will be storms in the sea at any time. Huge waves can raise dozens of meters high. Ordinary ships can only be buried in the sea."

After hearing this, Gu Yong said, "Then let's explain it to them clearly and tell them that there is no way to meet their requirements. This is also for the safety of their lives."

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and smiled slightly, "How is that happening? The people's requests are not too much. Let's promise them. We will take them to do ocean trade together, which is indeed our responsibility and responsibility."

After hearing this, Mi Zhu opposed: "Lord, what can you do? If the people are allowed to do ocean trade with us, then the income of our government office will be greatly reduced. What is the difference between this and the money from the government office?"

Gu Yong also firmly opposed: "My lord, I don't agree. Our fiscal revenue is too expensive, and now we are a little stretched. The lord finally opened up a maritime Silk Road. We are thinking about how to increase our ability to trade in the ocean so that our fiscal revenue will increase greatly. If merchants are allowed to follow us to trade in the ocean, we will not be in vain."

Lu Ning laughed and looked at everyone and said, "Why are we busy all of us? Why do the people trust us? Isn't our purpose to make the country strong, the people rich, and the nation rejuvenate? If the people are not rich, can the country be strong? The country is composed of millions of families. If the country is strong and the people are poor, what's the use? Our purpose is to make the people live a better and better life. Otherwise, why do the people believe in us and how to win the hearts of the people and make the people's lives better and better, this is the purpose and responsibility of all of us working hard. The laws we have formulated are all the interests of the people above everything else? Helping the people solve practical difficulties in production and life is the focus of our work. As long as the people ask us to do things, we will of course help solve them."

After hearing this, Zhang objected: "Lord, although what you said is reasonable, the fiscal revenue of our government office is also used for the people! We are not corrupt and abused, and every penny is for the people. Increased income of the government office is also for the people, and this does not violate the principles. It just allows us to have more money to do more practical things for the people."

After hearing this, Sima Lang immediately responded: "Brother, Derong is right. We are also considering the people and do not seek personal gain. Every year, we have to build so many roads, water conservancy facilities, and public welfare construction, which requires a large amount of funds to support, otherwise nothing will be done."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed loudly and said, "You are right, but I still have an idea. Our Han people have always continued the farming culture, that is, farming civilization, which is not good for the interests of the nation and the prosperity of the country. I want to gradually induce and promote the navigation culture, that is, navigation civilization, which is conducive to the rejuvenation of the nation, the prosperity of the country, and economic development."

After hearing this, everyone was confused again. They didn't know what Lu Ning meant, and had never heard of this kind of expression, and they could not understand the connotation and function of it.

Guo Jia looked up at Lu Ning and asked modestly: "Lord, I have never heard of this farming culture and navigation culture. Can you explain the meaning of it to us?"

After lifting the teacup, Lu Ning said slowly: "Everyone, no matter how well-developed the business of a country or region, if the products are only sold in the country or region, it is just a process of transferring wealth from one person to another. For a country or region, the total wealth will not increase. Moreover, when there is an oversupply of products, the crisis of product saturation will exist, which will seriously affect economic growth. If we lead the people to do ocean trade, it is to make money from foreigners, and then the total wealth of our wealth will definitely increase. Do you know? The goods imported from abroad every year by the Roman Empire are as high as 100 million gold coins, that is, the Roman Empire will leak 100 million gold coins to abroad every year. What a huge number and wealth! Why don't we lead the people to earn back the wealth of Rome, Ali and other countries?"

Lu Ning's words stunned everyone. Is there so many gold coins in Rome? How is it possible? So many questions bother everyone, and it makes people unable to believe its authenticity. After all, this number is too big, so big that it makes people dare not think about it.

Guan Ning said in a suspicious tone: "Ziyi, it's not your nonsense, right? How is this possible? Rome leaked 100 million gold coins abroad every year. Didn't Rome have endless gold coins? Is Rome that rich?"

Guan Ning asked everyone's questions, and how did Lu Ning explain it? You can't say that you saw it in the historical materials of later generations! Lu Ning sighed with a wry smile and said, "Master, the Roman Empire is indeed powerful and is indeed very wealthy. What I said is the real thing. But I can't explain it clearly. I can only tell you that it was told by Fairy Chang'e in the sky that she would never lie to me, and there is no need to lie to me with such words."

Everyone knows that this is Lu Ning’s fooling, and it is also Lu Ning’s usual way of doing it. As long as he doesn’t want to explain, he will use Fairy Chang’e to replace him. Of course, it’s not easy for everyone to follow him and ask until the end. After all, Lu Ning is his lord, can he force each other?

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, what you said is off topic. What I am asking is farming civilization and navigation civilization."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Fengxiao, don't worry, I'll drink a sip of water and tell you slowly. We, Bingzhou Army, all know that when fighting, I ask the generals to pay attention to team combat and strictly prohibit single combat. This is also one of the factors that make our Feixiong Army and the Bingxiong Army strong. In our internal affairs, we also pay attention to team cooperation, which can improve work efficiency; Deheng and others also pay attention to team cooperation in scientific research, so that research results can be developed quickly. In fact, this is an organizational issue, a problem of one plus one greater than two. You all should have a deep understanding of it."

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Lord, what you said is true. In our jurisdiction, no matter what job it is, it is about teamwork, giving full play to the role of each person, and maximizing his personal abilities. This team spirit is much stronger than fighting alone. After all, is there more people and more power? We have a deep understanding of this."
