Rise From the Humble

Because there is an ice basin for cooling, the temperature in the study room is seven or eight degrees lower than outside. The temperature is suitable and comfortable, and it is not much better than the current air-conditioned rooms.

The naughty kid and the little lolita in the study were sitting on the chairs with their short legs dangling, holding milkmelon ice bowls in one hand and a small spoon in the other, digging in and eating happily.

The naughty kid's mouth was full of milk, and the outer corners of his mouth were full of milk. He looked like he had a white beard. He was also a snack foodie, but little Loli Niuniu was fair and white.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, tell us another story." The naughty child shouted at the top of his voice while eating.

Little Loli also looked at Zhu Pingan expectantly.

Zhu Pingan had just finished telling them a story. In addition, he had been working overtime at Wuyi Hall for the past few days and was feeling a little tired. After just finishing telling a story, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but take a nap. Being treated like this by the naughty child A voice woke me up.

Looking at the little Lolita's expectant, watery eyes, Zhu Pingan cheered up, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will tell you another story. Well, what story should I tell you?"

Zhu Pingan paused, thought for a moment and said, "Well, let me tell you a story about the pirates of Malacca."

The Pirates of Malacca that Zhu Pingan mentioned is actually an adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was transformed into Malacca in the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. Well, that’s right, there were no South China Sea disputes at this time, and the small countries in Southeast Asia were still paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty. If we go back to the era when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean more than a hundred years ago, not to mention the South China Sea, even the sea power in the Indian Ocean was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother-in-law, what is a pirate?" Little Loli Niuniu raised her chubby hand and asked in confusion with her big eyes blinking.

"Pirates are robbers on the sea, robbers who specialize in robbing merchant ships and other ships on the sea." Zhu Pingan explained.

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

"Then I'm going to catch the pirates and confiscate the money they robbed." The naughty boy Rui Ge'er's little eyes were shining, and he waved his fat paws and made a grabbing motion.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile, touched the heads of the little loli and the naughty kid, and started talking about the pirates of Malacca:

"In this world, besides our Ming Dynasty, there are many other countries, with tens of millions of people in large ones and tens of thousands in small ones. Some countries are rich in ivory, some countries have mountains of gold and silver, and some countries have mountains of gold and silver. The land is full of gems and spices, and some countries are so poor that only their population is left. Go west along the Silk Road for a few years, and you will find a group of Western countries near the sea. These countries have relatively developed navigation."

"Are we as developed as we are?" the naughty boy asked.

"In the past, we were not as developed as we were. The giant ships and ships used by Zheng He when he sailed to the Western Ocean were much more advanced than those of the West. But since the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, our giant ships and ships have all 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 head of the naughty child and slowly explained, by the way, he has popularized some knowledge about the West and sea power to them since they were young, and irrigated their open mind. See the world through your eyes.

The Ming Dynasty needs to open its eyes to see the world. Now the Ming Dynasty has scuttled its giant ships and burned its nautical charts, while the West is setting sail, discovering and opening up new routes, and is catching up and surpassing the Ming Dynasty to achieve overtaking in corners.

In history, the Ming Dynasty continued to decline, and in the Qing Dynasty, it even closed the country. In the end, it was reduced to the point where any Western country could perform fancy sex, and it was extorted 230 million by the vassal state in the East-now the country of Japanese pirates. What is the concept of two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver? It is the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for 50 years. It is precisely by relying on these two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver that the country of the Japanese pirates quickly realized the modernization of the country and entered the ranks of developed countries in one fell swoop. , and continue to attack our country with the intention of swallowing it up.

Zhu Ping'an doesn't want history to repeat itself. If the Ming Dynasty starts to change from now on, it will not be too late. There is still a lot to do. You can participate in the magnificent age of navigation and get a share of the pie, no, use the Ming Dynasty to get a big share.

"Western countries have advanced navigation. They rely on their strong ships and powerful guns to conquer small countries rich in gold, silver, and spices. They transport gold, silver, and spices back to the West in boatloads. Countries that do not have gold, silver, and other special products are being conquered. Western countries capture people and use them as slaves. And the Malacca I just mentioned is the only place that Western countries must pass through to transport gold, silver, and spices back to the West."

"Because there were so many gold, silver, spices and slaves, the Malacca pirates also appeared. They robbed Western gold ships and made a fortune. The most famous pirate among them was the young Captain Jack. He owned a ship that made the West The country is terrified of the Black Pearl."

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

The naughty child listened very seriously, more seriously than before, and was also very excited. He would even show his teeth and claws in excitement when he heard something interesting.

However, the little loli girl didn't seem to be very interested. As she listened, she started to doze off, her little head spinning little by little.

When Zhu Pingan saw this, he couldn't help but smile, picked up the little Loli 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 Loli Niuniu grabbed Zhu Pingan's sleeve and blinked 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 naughty kid ran over on his short legs, holding two milk melon and ice bowls for him and the little Loli, and wanted to go to bed with him.

However, when the naughty boy ran to the bed, he failed to hold the two ice bowls in his hands, and they were suddenly clasped 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 click, the milk, melon and fruit in the two ice bowls were poured on his clothes, making it all sticky from top to bottom.

At this point, the naughty boy was still trying to climb up the soft cave. Zhu Pingan reached out and stopped the naughty boy, "You can't do that."

Seeing that the naughty kid was all sticky and dirty, Zhu Pingan didn't have a change of clothes. He thought that the naughty kid was brought by the second lady, and she should have some replacement clothes, so he said to the naughty kid, "Go find your second sister. Ask your sister to take off her clothes before coming over to bed."

The naughty boy was stunned for a moment.

"Go quickly." Zhu Pingan waved his hand.

"Oh." The naughty kid turned around and ran out.

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

At this time, the naughty boy ran over, came 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 young lady holding the Dongzhu earrings took two steps back in fright when she heard the words. She opened her mouth as if struck by thunder and lightning, and turned to the naughty child with dull eyes, as if she was stupid, and her face changed instantly. It turned green and white, and then turned extremely red.

Li Shu was also shocked by the naughty child's voice, and her heartbeat stopped for a moment.

The little girls in the living room were all stunned.

The air seemed stagnant.

Damn, you are cheating.

When Zhu Ping'an in the study heard this, he almost fell off the bed, and he was so frightened that he shed a stream of cold sweat on his back.
