Kinmen Port Chunfang Building is a large restaurant containing the capital of Southeast Prefecture, with luxurious decoration.

The east and west windows of the middle hall on the second floor are open, you can see the mainland and the open sea, its surroundings have been martial law, the brocade Ming army is holding swords and shields, and the southeast army wearing a straight uniform and carrying a flintlock pistol with bayonets corresponds one by one, and the sentry posts are lined up from a distance to the second floor.

Daming Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan!

Yan Changwu, the overseer of the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty!

Xiong Wencan didn't wear official clothes, he was over half a hundred years old, well maintained, didn't see many white hairs, his face was calm and resolute, his eyes were quite majestic, a pair of gray beards, wearing a sauce purple four-fluted scarf, wearing a sauce purple placket, embroidered with group flowers, gold thread trim, and foundation soap boots, dressed himself like an official living at home.

Yan Changwu is wearing a Mao suit, with a small flat head, wearing leather shoes, young and capable, walking in a tiger style, giving Xiong Wencan the feeling that:

The milk tiger is out of the forest!

The sun is rising!

"It's hard for a lion to compete!" Xiong Wencan knew that the other party had already achieved his wings, and sighed secretly in his heart!

In fact, he was in a dilemma at both ends of the first rat in this move.

Zhao'an Southeast Mansion, what if the other party has ulterior motives and gives him a lot of power? In the future, the tail will not be lost!

There is only one Song Jiang!

After Song Jiang, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who were recruited were all unknown philosophers to protect themselves, and they would never learn from Song Jiang's loss of Liangshan's strength and finally lose their own lives, in other words, everyone has learned to be smart, and they will definitely not be concentric with the imperial court.

However, if you don't detain the Southeast Mansion in the name of righteousness, you are afraid that the other party's strength will swell and give birth to evil intentions.

At present, the southeastern province is still peaceful and self-contained, only collecting taxes overseas, and never attacking the mainland.

At the thought of merchant ships collecting taxes, Xiong Wencan's heart ached!

The local government of the Ming Dynasty, the Municipal Shipping Department, the Tax Office, the Inspection Department, and the Fujian Navy Division could not collect the taxes of the Shanghai merchants in any case, and the Southeast Mansion had 2,000 silver dollars per ship and flag, and the silver dollars flowed to the silver treasury of the Southeast Province like seawater!

If there were so many taxes, it would not only help the administration of the dynasty, but also reorganize the Fujian naval division, and what plywood ships would not be available, and what cannons would be gone!

……

Yan Changwu sang a promise, clasped his fists and saluted Xiong Wencan: "Boy Yan Changwu, I've seen Governor Xiong!" ”

He's just slightly bowing!

Xiong Wencan clasped his hands together and saluted back: "Overseer Yan has worked hard!" ”

The two go upstairs on an equal footing!

At present, the Governor of the Southeast Prefecture and the Governor of Fujian are fighting against each other, which is a courtesy agreed upon by both parties after early negotiations.

Although Yan Changwu has no official status, he has the identity of a "god son", and he must not kneel to the laity!

Xiong Wencan is the governor, a central official (the political envoy is the highest level of magistrates), representing the face of the court, and the people will kneel when they see him (unless he has meritorious fame).

Therefore, Xiong Wencan did not wear official clothes and walked with Yan Changwu.

Xiong Wencan brought two Qing guests, introduced as Mr. Zhong and Mr. Liu, while Yan Changwu was the two bodyguards who always followed him.

went up to the hall on the second floor, and the two rows of beautiful maids greeted each other, and Lili Ying said: "Welcome to the two masters!" ”

However, Xiong Wencan and Yan Changwu didn't take them to heart, everyone sat in the north and south, Xiong Wencan sat in the north and faced south (it was a respectful seat), and Yan Changwu sat opposite him and gave him face.

There is only one dish on the table, and the clay pot is simmered on a charcoal stove, using fine silver charcoal, which does not emit smoke.

It's not that two people can't afford to eat, this dish has many dishes: Buddha jumping over the wall!

The process of making this dish is very complicated. There are more than a dozen kinds of raw materials for Buddha jumping over the wall, such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak skin glue, oyster mushroom, hoof tendon, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop, quail eggs, etc. In order to fully reflect the taste and characteristics of each ingredient, it is necessary to make these more than a dozen ingredients into a dish independently, and then gather them together, add broth and Shaoxing wine, and simmer for more than ten hours before the arrival of the two distinguished guests.

There's nothing to say about that taste!

The wine on it is the famous wine of the Southeast Province: rum!

The original rum is prickly, but as time goes on, the rum becomes more and more delicious.

The wine is good, the sales are large, Xiong Wencan's heart aches faintly!

He knew that the rum in the southeast province was gradually selling all over the country, and no one side had enough raw materials for him!

There is good wine in China, and the taste of rum is indeed not as good as that of Chinese liquor, but liquor needs to be brewed with grain, and at this time, people have nothing to eat, how can there be more grain to make a lot of wine!

Rum is made from sugarcane after the "molasses" is not used, and the southeast province is trying its best to expand sugarcane planting, which is really a crop and two kinds of money, and white sugar is silver!

Pity! The dynasty can't collect taxes!

He once visited the Southeast Mansion, but the Southeast Mansion refused to let him visit the winery, and he could not see the secret of sugarcane winemaking.

……

The two exchanged a few words, ate dishes and touched cups, and the conversation got to the point.

"Supervisor Yan, your military strength already has the possibility of threatening the mainland, and the mainland has no sailors who can fight against your southeast fleet, which is really unrelenting!" Xiong Wencan is frank and authentic.

Yan Changwu took a deep breath, he knew that his words below would determine history, the history of southeast China, and even the history of China and the world!

"My ancestral home is Haicheng, Fujian, my clan is a Ming person, and I am also a Ming person!"

"In my lifetime, I will never oppose the Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Changwu clearly indicated his attitude, Xiong Wencan nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

There is no need to say anything, if the Ming Dynasty is not good for Yan Changwu, the two sentences will be canceled, and they have to be against him!

Xiong Wencan is a person who is good at business, good at looking at the cloth and vegetables, watching the dishes and eating, since he has no money, he has to be appeased, and the war is expensive and laborious, how can he give a few official hats to recruit the bandits and thieves as comfortable as they have been used?

"Since you have made this promise, I see you as a trustworthy person, and I believe in you!" Xiong Wencan hugged Yan Changwu and said.

"But you recruit hundreds of thousands of people in the southeast mansion, and you lure them to the barren land overseas, and do not obey the king, although you have a promise, but people's hearts are different, in case there are bad people in it, I am afraid that there will be a big change.!" Xiong Wencan pulled out the key content and said: "It seems that you can set up prefectures and counties in the southeast province and appoint magistrates to educate the people and become the loyal people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Of course, you have merit in soothing the people and governing Taiwan (the world recognizes the southeast government and Taiwan), and this Fu will show your merits to the court, and the court will not hesitate to reward you!"

He gave a big hat and said: "You can be a marquis, the descendants are infinitely blessed, and this Fu can't compare to you!" ”

"Such a young Hou Ye, this dynasty is only possible when the new dynasty is established!" Governor Xiong said with a pleasant face: "What do you think? ”

Yan Changwu almost didn't laugh out loud, this Governor Xiong actually wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf and take over the foundation that labor and management had worked so hard to build, how could there be such a good thing in this world.
