Song Bingzhong threatened, and Aunt Han listened a little dumbfounded and uncomfortable.

Song Bingzhong explained carefully, virtuous brother, this is how the sea acts, if you don't make it clear and explain it clearly, then the Zou family is bad, you have been wronged, who is it?

The virtuous brother is willing to sacrifice his life to help, he is already the eighth generation of the ancestors of the Zou family, and he doesn't know how many wooden fish have been broken, how can he really work hard for his family?

The Zou family can't afford this kind of blessing!

In front of the imperial court, the arrogant businessman with his teeth and claws, in the eyes of people like Song Bingzhong, is really just a night pot, even if his family is the governor's night pot, it is a stinky tool after all.

For a little business tax, above the court, he can quarrel with the emperor for several generations, and he can point to the emperor's nose and scold him for being sick, so he is not even in the face of a small five-grade guerrilla general in Ningbo Bawei!

It's just because these people have a mirror in their hearts, and they know that in the court, the emperor doesn't dare to do anything with them, so why don't they fight?

Even if the business tax is really a drop in the bucket, it is not worth a banquet for the merchants, then it will not work!

This opening can't be opened!

Not to mention, just talk about this maritime businessman, Ningbo set up a city shipping department, there are special people to collect taxes, a year, the total amount of tax is only about 50,000 taels.

This amount of money should be evenly distributed among every maritime merchant, not even drizzle.

In this way, there are still people who resist taxes, and there are still people who find ways to avoid the tax collectors.

But when it really came to the sea, Song Bingzhong, a five-grade guerrilla general, opened his mouth to buy and sell 17.8 million taels, and the Zou family could only pinch their noses and admit it, and they had to be grateful to Dade.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the words written by Uncle Han in "The Biography of the Ming Dynasty", businessmen all remember to eat and not remember, have no belonging, ignore the country, as long as there are interests, they will package and sell the world, which is not a rare thing!

If you don't believe it, take a look at how the Jin merchants in "The Biography of the Ming Dynasty" did it.

At the moment, Aunt Han sighed.

Although he had heard and written about it, it was the first time he had seen it!

This power on the sea, after all, is not in the hands of the imperial court, if it can be used by the Ming monarch, the heavenly kingdom is really not a dream behind closed doors!

At the moment, there was not so much emotion, Han Chen took the big cow, together with thirty family members, and twenty disguised military guards, and got on the Zou family's ship.

At this time, it had entered the coast of the Ryukyus, and in the past few days, the ironclad ships of Ningbo Bawei have been rushing to converge, and the fleet has already expanded to dozens of warships.

There were quite a few merchant ships that took the opportunity to follow behind and avoid the invasion of the pirates.

This kind of thing, the big guy is also used to doing it, and every time Ningbo Bawei's ironclad ship goes on patrol, it's the same.

Thirty miles away from Naha Port, Song Bingzhong had people anchored and garrisoned, but the Zou family sent fast boats, mixed with those accompanying merchant ships, and sailed towards Naha Port.

Before entering the port, Han Chen, Da Niu and the family members saw the Western scenery.

There are more than 100 merchant ships passing through the port of Naha every day, and the entire port is extremely prosperous, and sailors of all kinds can be seen everywhere.

It was not uncommon for these sailors to sail a thousand merchant ships, travel the seas, earn money, and occasionally make cameos as pirates.

At this time, the old butler saw that something was wrong.

But it was the twenty good men in the army, one by one, who looked at people with their nostrils, like rangers more than soldiers, and changed their clothes, and no one could see the calendar.

But the thirty family members are all capable and neat, with straight waists and neat movements, no matter how you look at them, they feel that they are the elite of the army......

In this way, it is not good to go ashore and come into contact with the pirate who tied up the ticket.

It is not uncommon for the Haikou to misunderstand that the family members are soldiers, and they will inevitably tear up the tickets, and it is not uncommon to gather people to directly swallow the negotiation team!

Aunt Han immediately scratched his head, and the hundred households who accompanied him to protect him looked embarrassed.

This is very cool, but the family is more like a soldier than a good hand in the army......

At that moment, Aunt Han made up his mind, and he and twenty military experts went to the shore, and the family members waited on the boat for news.

In fact, Aunt Han has a golden body and peerless swordsmanship, and when he arrives on the shore, he is not afraid of any kind of sea coward, if it weren't for the big cow to resist and refuse, he would have the heart to leave the big cow on the boat.

These people are all carefully cultivated elites, and if they hurt one, Han Chen would feel distressed.

Everyone will have selfish intentions, and the servants of the Zou family are also their lives, but compared with the people around him, Han Chen cares more about the safety of his family.

The Zou family is in Naha Port, and there are familiar shops, and they directly wrap up an inn, and the Zou family of 100 people enslaves the Chase Shop, and the 300,000 taels of ransom silver are hidden in it.

After living for two days in a row, the strangeness of Han Chen and Da Niu had long since faded away, but in his heart, he was looking forward to the fact that the Haikou who tied people would show up early.

On the evening of the third day, a group of people gathered in the inn to eat seafood, and someone broke in.

The person who came was more than eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, like a giant spirit god, one size bigger than a big cow!

This person was dark and rough-skinned, with dense tattoos on his exposed hands, neck, and even face.

This person is one of the leaders of Zou Shirong's gang of Haikou, who claims to be the flower-faced yaksha under the throne of Haiyan.

The old housekeeper immediately went up to talk, this man is also famous on the sea, although he can't compare to his old king of the sea and the earth, but he is also famous.

The flower-faced Yaksha wanted to inspect the silver, but the old housekeeper insisted that he would not see his master and would not pay the silver.

"Your Zou family, too, the name of the leader of my family, King Haiyan, who has never heard of it on this sea? Have you ever heard that my words don't count? ”

The flower-faced Yaksha suddenly became impatient, "I only look at the silver, and I don't accept it now, you wait to follow me, and when I see Zou Yuanwai, I will talk about handing over the silver to ransom people." ”

Helplessly, the old housekeeper had to take the flower-faced Yaksha to the Chase shop to check the cash.

Rao is flower-faced yaksha has done a lot of big business with the king of sea hell, but it is the first time he has seen such a large amount of cash, and he only shakes his eyes for a while.

After confirming that the silver was not bad, the flower-faced Yaksha explained that the place of ransom was not here, and he needed to follow him to the place by the fast boat of the pirates.

At this moment, many arrangements suddenly fell short.

The old housekeeper looked at Han Chen pleadingly, Aunt Han nodded slightly, the Zou family of the hundred and tenth, together with twenty soldiers in disguise, took the silver, and followed the flower-faced yaksha to take advantage of the night to erase it towards a hidden dock.

The dock was hidden in a small fishing village, messy, dirty, and unfamiliar people led it, even the locals, and they couldn't figure out the direction.

On the dock, dozens of shallow-bottomed clippers had been waiting for a long time, loaded with silver, gently shook the pulp, and immediately slid into the sea.

The boat twisted and turned along the way, deliberately going around in circles, and Han Chen and Da Niu lost their sense of direction early.

There was wind at night, but fortunately, the weather was fine, and the Zou family servants and soldiers in disguise secretly watched the stars, and they only knew that they were probably taken to the north of Naha by the pirates.
