"You must know, Jiangnan is King Qi's fiefdom. I have no personal concerns with King Qi, but Minister Qi might not be a virtuous person; he may covet power. If we can control someone like Minister Qi, it's not that significant a matter since we still have the means to balance him. But if future positions fall into King Qi's hands, Jiangnan would truly become the Qi family's nest. Moreover, with the opening of the sea, what accompanies it are pirates. Once they form, the coastal areas will be chaotic." Ye Muyu directly suggested to Chu Heng, regarding the Wokou Pirates, which historically, have been notoriously severe.
If not properly managed, no matter how prosperous Great Chu becomes, it can't withstand decay.
Chu Heng tapped his fingers on the table. This was not the first time Ye Muyu had told him about this.
Chu Heng did not doubt. Before his death in his previous life, Great Chu's finances were just beginning to strengthen, brought about by opening sea routes.
