Looking at the bustling scene, Xia Xun just smiled slightly, and winked at Xu Hu, Xu Hu understood, hurriedly handed the official robe to his son, and followed Xia Xun away.

On the coast, waves surged up one after another and washed against the coast continuously. Xia Xun and Xu Hu walked away slowly along the long coastline.

"Xu Dusi, there are a few things that I have to ask you. Although there is still a chance to say it later, I think it's better to remind you first."

"My lord, please speak!"

Now that he has officially become a member of the imperial court, Xu Hu's attitude towards Xia Xun is more respectful than before.Compared with his subordinates with rough personalities, Xu Hu is much finer. The young man in front of him is not only the Duke of the State, they were recruited by Xia Xun, and they have a very deep relationship with each other. From then on, Xia Xun He is their big backer in the court. With this dual identity, how can Xu Hu not treat him respectfully.

Xia Xun took a long breath of the fishy sea breeze, and said, "The first one is your trafficking and smuggling. Shuangyu only has guards, and there are no civil affairs officials. This is a good thing. You can do as much as possible However, you have to remember not to be too arrogant, smuggling is to make a living, it is a last resort, but don’t think that you can do whatever you want because you are an official in the future.”

Xia Xun's expression became serious: "Before I came here, I also mentioned these things to the emperor. Of course, what I said was rather vague. If the emperor thinks about it, you are just playing around and earning food for the family. I would think that you have such a large scale, so the emperor didn't take it to heart, and didn't mention the strict prohibition."

He stared at Xu Hu again, and said: "I know that the people along the coast are not willing to ban the sea. From Guangdong to Liaodong, from the South China Sea to the East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea, there is smuggling. If you don't do it, others will too." Do it, you can't help it. That's why I want to use a sparse method. It's better to be able to manage and control than to develop freely. This is why I fight for opportunities for you."

Xu Hu said gratefully: "Yes, the Duke understands the situation here. Counting all the people, old and young, there are 8 to [-] people. If we only rely on military pay, we can't support so many people, and we can't grow land on this island."

Xia Xun let out a "huh" and said again: "I know, it's not just the coastal people secretly smuggling, the coastal officials have actually acquiesced and condoned your smuggling for the sake of political achievements, people's livelihood, and paying the taxes levied by the court. Looking at it from another angle, it’s nothing. How can we not let the sea be eaten by the sea? It’s not reasonable to put such a cornucopia or a cash cow and discard it.

However, this is not allowed by the imperial court after all. Although you have been officers and soldiers stationed in Shuangyu from now on, and the people in the coastal local government are actually very considerate, but it doesn’t matter if you smuggle when you are a thief, but smuggle when you are a soldier. Stay on your feet, report impeachment, then..."

Xu Hu also became serious: "The humble job understands."

Xia Xun smiled: "You are a sensible person, and you can see through everything. I don't need to say too much. You can handle this matter yourself. If you are really stabbed, and I have the real evidence, I can't save you."

"Yes!"

"The second one is Japanese pirates."

Xia Xun's expression also became serious: "Being a pirate is a job of fighting and killing, and being a soldier is also a job of fighting and killing. The biggest difference between the two is what they fight for! A pirate only needs to fight for him As a soldier, you have to take responsibility. From now on, you are here to protect, not just you and your family. You are a soldier of Ming Dynasty, and you have to protect the people of Ming Dynasty.

I know that you are not afraid of fighting the Japanese. What I am worried about is that although you or your subordinates are wearing official robes, the buttocks cannot sit properly. You must know that military law is ruthless. Going out, doing nothing, and sitting back and watching the people suffer, the consequences are different from those of you who are pirates.As a pirate, if any island owner does this, you may scold him for being greedy for life and fear of death, for being unyielding, and to break off relations with him. If you become a soldier, whoever does this will have to sacrifice his head to the flag! "

"Understandable!"

"The third……"

Xia Xun stopped, pondered for a moment, and said: "You used to be pirates after all, and now you are an independent army. Whether it is in the army or in the officialdom, there are always some hilltop factions. For you outsiders, other guards and even Your superiors must have a process of recognition and acceptance. You can't expect immediate approval from them.

Perhaps, some of them will make things difficult for you, or even crowd out and suppress you. I hope you can bear with it, because this is also human nature. Just now you were the ones they were arresting, and suddenly you became your own people. There must be a process.For contempt, use military exploits to prove it!For hostility, accept it with sincerity! "

"Don't worry, Duke, since Xu Hu agreed to accept the recruitment, he has considered this point."

"Well, you, of course I'm relieved, but those leaders under you now only think of the scenery, and they won't realize this. I'm afraid that something will happen to you, and you will be encouraged by them. If you betray the imperial court and want to turn back, it will be difficult."

"Yes!"

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Hehe, of course, I don't want you to endure blindly. I never agree with the bullshit principle that a hundred patience makes gold. If a person lives without a little blood, what's the point of living? But also You can't fight your temper, just let it go. If there is any trouble that can't be solved, send someone to Beijing to find me."

This time, Xu Hu was really moved. Xia Xun first won such a high official position for him, and then worked hard to solve his worries, and now he can think so thoroughly for him. Is that how you win over him?

If Xu Hu was close to Xia Xun at first because the old gang leader's daughter had a close relationship with him, and later he flattered him with respect and sincerity because he wanted to climb this backer, but now because of these words, he is desperate The earth will follow him.

Xu Hu solemnly said: "Duke, please rest assured, with your heart-to-heart words today, Xu Hu will never do anything to be sorry for you. If something unexpected happens, Xu Hu will definitely listen to the advice of the Duke. In a word, I will definitely not do anything decisive! We men in the rivers and lakes, spitting is a nail, and we will never break our promise!"

Xia Xun nodded happily. He could see that what Xu Hu said was psychological.Zhu Di sounded the alarm to the heroes in time, and now he rings the alarm to Xu Hu in time, and it is indeed out of love.

Xia Xun said: "Okay, here, you are the landlord, and you are required to come to the banquet tonight, so I won't hold you back, you go to work, tonight, let's have a good drink or two."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xu Hu hugged him, turned and left.

Seeing that it was still early, Xia Xun went back to his residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Si Xun and Si Yang playing in the courtyard. Xia Xun's endless gift offensive and Su Ying, Xie Xie, Zi Qi, Xiao Di and others After repeated bombings, the two little girls already recognized their father, especially Si Xun, after all, he was young and easy to accept. Si Yang was still a little shy when he met Xia Xun, but Si Xun was very affectionate when he saw him.

Seeing Xia Xun coming in, Si Xun immediately ran over with open arms and called sweetly, "Daddy hug!"

"Ah, my darling!"

Xia Xun picked her up, kissed her on the red apple-like cheek, and then looked at him eagerly. She wanted to get close to the shy big girl, and walked into the house with a happy girl in one hand.

"Master!"

Xie Xie came up, took the little one from his arms, entered the house together, coaxed the children for a while, and let them play, Xie Xie then said: "Master, we are going back to Jinling tomorrow. Going to Yanggakdo, my eldest brother is still there, I have consulted him in advance, he does not want to go back, I have to arrange some things with my eldest brother, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back tonight."

Xia Xun's Secret Spy training base is located on Yangjiao Island. Xia Xun naturally understood what her so-called arrangement meant, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you go, my husband is going to rest tonight."

Xie Xie heard this, her pretty face turned red, she rolled her eyes at him, and said coquettishly: "I thought you were made of iron, it's not enough to catch him, hmph, there are times when you can't do it?"

Xia Xun stretched her waist, stared at her and said, "Yeah? How dare you look down on your husband-in-law, it's still early, come on, see if I can do it, don't run away!"

As soon as Xia Xun stretched out his hand and didn't catch it, Xie Xie slender waist twisted and flashed out, smiling slyly, turned to him with a grimace and said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving now, to find your Mrs. Ying , my lord."

With a string of silver bell-like laughter, thank you for your slender waist, that amorous style... Disastrous to the country and the people.

After a few days of spring nights, Xia Xun was actually a little tired. He was just joking with his beloved wife. Seeing her leave, Xia Xun laughed and stood up. He just stepped out of the room and was about to talk to his daughter. After a while, she saw Peng Ziqi standing in her room, waving to herself quietly.

Seeing her sneaky look, Xia Xun didn't know what was going on. Seeing that there was no one around, she rushed into her room and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Master..."

The ending sound is curling, there is a strange feeling, weird!Xia Xun suddenly became wary of how the dignified female heroine Peng spoke in such a tone: "Huh?"

"It's...it's over..."

"Oh?"

"Oh what!" Peng Ziqi stared at her pretty eyes, both happy and angry: "Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood..." Xia Xun nodded hastily, and suddenly exclaimed in the middle of the point: "Ah! Got it..."

Peng Ziqi bit his lip lightly, glanced at him with fiery eyes, rippling: "Tonight, you are mine!"

"..."

"Why, are you unwilling?" Peng Ziqi sullenly made a pretty face.

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "No! No, no! For my little Qiqi lady, I will do my best for my husband, and I will die!"

"It's almost there."

Peng Ziqi gave a "card" laugh, shoved him and said, "Okay, let's not bother you for now, go and see Sister Ying, she doesn't seem to want to go with us."! ~!
