Compared to before, I am more calm now. After all, I have become a Martial Saint.
I was even able to give this Zen Master Kurong a lot of guidance on the Kurong Sutra.
Everyone in Donglin Temple didn't understand what was said, but they were deeply shocked.
I thought I could get through the years more peacefully, after all, I knew more and more, and I was getting faster and faster at speedrunning.
The butterfly effect was far greater than I could have imagined.
A traveler from Donglin Temple told me that the southeastern coastal areas were recruiting soldiers and horses, and they were going to go to sea.
The empire has always had a maritime ban, especially in the southeastern coastal areas, where the calls for a maritime ban are the loudest and most vocal.
But now, people in the southeastern coastal areas have begun to recruit troops and horses and are preparing to go out to sea in a large scale.
Their name is also very straightforward: Anyone who offends Daxia will be punished, no matter how far away they are.
This was obviously learned from the second generation emperor of Daxia, but they didn't learn it very well.
After all, the southeastern coastal areas have been invaded by Japanese pirates for hundreds of years. They have been offended all the time, but no one has ever said that anyone who offends Daxia will be punished no matter how far away they are.
It can only be said that the Japanese pirates even joined forces with many people from aristocratic families to create such a situation.
The Japanese pirates wreaked havoc along the southeastern coast, looting a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, making it impossible for ordinary civilians to grow crops and even go hungry. Forced to do so, these civilians had to sell their land and property at low prices.
At the same time, the Japanese pirates would trade and sell the gold and silver they looted from the aristocratic families, exchange them for porcelain, tea and other items to be sent overseas, and trade with people from overseas countries to obtain huge amounts of money.
The families along the southeast coast reaped the most benefits from the maritime trade, while those who called for a maritime ban the loudest were those along the southeast coast.
It totally goes against common sense, doesn't it?
At first I also felt that it went against common sense, but later I realized that opening up the sea could indeed bring huge profits, and those profits were dominated by Daxia.
If the sea is banned, the main beneficiaries will be people along the southeastern coast, and they will of course prefer it.
They talk about ideology but think about business.
No one who can hold a high position is a fool, everyone is far-sighted.
Before, I thought the other person was stupid and foolish, but that was because I was standing in a different position from them.
Now that I am in a higher position and can see farther, I can understand many things that I couldn’t understand back then.
