It was really unfavorable, Zou Weilian barely scavenged 100,000 silver dollars in Yuegang, and then walked away with his tail between his legs.

The three silver trumpets are a weather vane, if they give in, Zou Weilian will be satisfied, but unfortunately people don't bird him.

He really wanted to send troops to blockade Yuegang, arrest the prisoners, torture them one by one, and give a satisfactory ransom before releasing them.

The wealth of Yiyue Port will surely harvest huge millions!

It is not a problem to build as many plywood boats as you want to build and how big to build.

It's a pity to think about it!

The chain of interests in Yuegang is deep-rooted, and the countless silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities produced in the manors of the squires in various places are transported to Yuegang by land, and then sent to smuggling ships to be sold to the Hongmaofan and the Japanese people, earning a huge amount of silver.

The "local gentry" included officials and landlords in the southeastern region, and as long as they had some ability, they all got a piece of the pie, and this was an extremely large interest group, including the Donglin Party.

Can Zou Weilian afford to be offended?

No way!

The emperor couldn't do it, the emperor wanted to open the sea to ban the collection of sea trade duties, and wanted to set up a card on the land to collect business taxes, but they were all pushed back.

If Zou Weilian dares to do this, he will not see the sun tomorrow!

Even if he doesn't die, the twists and turns of the DPRK attacking him are like snowflakes, and many of them are his comrades, cutting off people and money, and his brothers have nothing to do!

I don't want to think about those so-called "clear streams", the DPRK and China do not accept bribes, and their waists are tough, and they cannot be ...... The money smuggled from their hometown has supported their decent life in Beijing, how can they ignore their hometown!

……

Back in Fuya, Fuzhou, Zou Weilian secretly thought to himself.

He expected that this matter would not be easy to do, but he didn't expect that the resistance would be unexpectedly large, and now he can't get money, and many things can't be done!

But I made a package ticket to the emperor again!

The more he thought about it, the more headache he had, and what he wanted to scold most at this time was Yu Zhigao, the former general soldier of Fujian coastal defense, who was the son of Yu Dayou, the hero of the anti-Japanese war, and he was really a tiger father and a dog.

Hmph, the situation in the southeast of my Ming Dynasty is very bad, and he deserves a knife on his neck! (Due to the defeat, Yu Zhigao has been executed)

That Yan boy is young, but he is cunning enough, he refuses to go ashore, and there is really nothing he can do!

As the saying goes, the rich and noble do not return to the hometown, such as the brocade clothes at night. Ordinary thieves are recruited as court officials, and they often build houses in their hometowns or on the mainland, so that they can show their prestige in front of others, lest others not know.

Yan Changwu did not have such a pretentiousness, and was willing to be the head of the village husband and fishermen in the wilderness of Taiwan--- Zou Weilian did not expect that this kid was worn, and the concept of his hometown was weak, which made the mainland government unable to control him.

In Zou Weilian's heart, there is a feeling that the other party is invincible if he is shameless.

He thought about it again and again, reluctantly made the following decision.

The first is to prohibit the outflow of fir trees from northern Fujian!

It is well known that the southeast government used fir wood in northern Fujian to build ships, and the governor of Zou kept pace with the times, but the trees were cut down, causing feng shui to change the bureau, resulting in soil erosion, and the reason for the local inappeasement, it was strictly forbidden to transport fir wood.

It's a pity that this recruitment came late, and the fir trees in northern Fujian were actually almost cut down, which could not affect the shipbuilding industry of the southeast province.

Yan Changwu took precautions, cut down all the suitable wood in northern Fujian as early as possible, and stored it first if he didn't need it (which is one of the reasons why he spent a lot of money, anyway, he kept spending money), and now he mobilized the people to replant fir trees in northern Fujian!

The second is to prohibit the displacement of displaced people from various places without authorization, and ask local officials to do a good job of spring ploughing.

He did not say that the displaced people were not allowed to go to the southeast province, but asked local officials to do a good job of spring plowing according to the number of people reported and the number of acres of land.

It's a pity that this plan is not sold, those people want to go to the southeast province a long time ago, after all, the first two years of the drought in Fujian, the people lost a lot of people to the southeast province, they are happy in the southeast province, and call friends, a large number of people across the sea to the southeast province, those who stay are not leaving.

And Yan Changwu is still an official of the Ming Dynasty so far, Fujian does not give homeless people, Liangguang is OK, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are OK, as far as Huguang have set up points, and there are also homeless people in the area north of the Yangtze River to the southeast province, Yan Changwu is just a breeze on his face, not the same thing!

As for the training of Fujian sailors, counting on them to fight Taiwan, Zou Weilian went to the Zhongzuo Institute (Xiamen) to watch the Fujian sailors practice, and he was simply angry!

First of all, the soldiers were short and small, and they did not have good strength!

Secondly, their training level is not good, they put their guns in a bang, which seems to be lively, but Zou Weilian can see that they are slow, slow shooting, and have a very low hit rate!

In person, he still said graciously, "Good!" But when he was alone with Lan Bangxian, the chief soldier of coastal defense, he sank his face: "Chief soldier Lan, the imperial court spent a lot of money to raise soldiers, so you will give the imperial court such an explanation?" ”

Lan Bangxian knelt down for Zou Weilian with a thud, and wailed: "Lord Governor, there is no way to do it!" ”

"Get up and make it clear!" Zou Weilian said with a frown.

So Lan Bangxian told him: "Good officers and soldiers, all of them have been hired by the Southeast Fleet!" ”

"Their salary is abundant, ordinary soldiers have a year's income of twenty-six taels of silver (monthly salary of two taels of silver, double pay at the end of the year), and the army includes food and lodging, and the food is also very good, the meals have fish and meat, fruits, tea and milk candy, and then issued military uniforms and sundries, all for free, the twenty-six taels of silver are almost for nothing! They ......"

Seeing Zou Weilian looking at him, Lan Bangxian gritted his teeth and said: "Each of their officers and soldiers has fifty acres of land, and they don't have to pay any rent!" They can give it to someone else to plant, or the fleet can send someone to help plant it (to recoup the cost)! ”

"Where are we like them! What kind of 'non-commissioned officer' system do they have, soldiers with old seniority who can't be promoted to officers can become non-commissioned officers, and the income of non-commissioned officers can be compared to officers! Officers are paid higher. ”

Lan Bangxian told the governor that almost all the mainland soldiers who served in the Southeast Fleet had moved their families to Taiwan, and it was impossible to threaten them by taking their families as hostages.

Yes, the bottom of the kettle is drawn, Yan Changhu is not very old, he is old enough to do things, Zou Weilian's eyes are straight, and he has a serious sense of powerlessness.

How can this be explained to the Lord of Long Life!

……

"If you want to deal with the Southeast Mansion, it's not impossible!" Mr. Zhong said calmly.

He did not leave Fuzhou, and partnered in Fuzhou to engage in trade in order to win profits (in the past, the income from doing business in the governor's yamen was not as high as doing business, and he was familiar with everyone in the southeast prefecture and happened to do business. When Zou Weilian heard about it, he wanted to hire him as his staff and asked him for advice.

"Sir, please advise!" Zou Weilian said politely.

"According to the view of the mountain people! As long as the ships go to sea, their financial resources will roll in, so they should completely block the trade between the mainland and the southeastern government, and they should not go to the sea, and then build warships and train sailors to collect Taiwan! Mr. Zhong advised: "Not only Fujian Province, but other provinces should be like this!" ”

"How can this be done!" Zou Weilian shook his head with a wry smile!

……

When the news reached Kaohsiung one by one, Chen Xinji and the others breathed a long sigh of relief and admired Yan Changwu very much!

Over the years, Yan Changwu has constantly, even ruthlessly, urged them to keep forging ahead, as if someone was chasing him behind him, making everyone so busy that they couldn't breathe.

They have achieved "unconventional development", for example, the fir wood in northern Fujian, even if there was enough timber for the shipbuilding plan back then, they still continued to spend money to cut down the wood in northern Fujian, and then they continued to collect population, reclaim wasteland, and build a fleet.

He also made a lot of friends, and formed a consortium with the mainland gentry group by virtue of his official status, once everyone can't make money, he doesn't need to make a move, and those "old friends" in the mainland, that is, "staunch patriots", will do it for him!

Zou Weilian has the ups and downs of the sea, count him as acquaintances, otherwise it was his brothers from the Donglin Party who killed him!

Anything the hostile forces want to do against them, and they will all go bankrupt!

Governor Zou, who is at a loss, see what you can do!
