Shen Huai was not an official for the first day, and in the face of the request of Huang Lin and others, he did not easily deny it, but first asked Boerge and the Dutch senior businessman Cliff to be called over.

Because Bolger and Cliff had only just taken office and had not had time to do too much evil, You Degao only sentenced them to serve ten years in prison in the Luzon General's Palace.

At the moment, the two of them had changed into a plain Han-style robe, and their original curly hair was wrapped in a black mesh scarf.

Although he has seen the looks of these Taixi people many times, Shen Huai is still a little ridiculous.

Holding back the evaluation in his heart, Shen Huai pointed to Huang Lin and the others, "According to these four people, during their time in Anping, they still owe them 120,000 guilders, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Bolger turned his head to look at Cliff, who was also dressed in the same costume, and all this trade was handled by the merchant.

Cliff's slightly fat round face showed a touch of red, and he nodded a little embarrassedly,

"Yes, Your Excellency, the East India Company's Taiwan Governor's Office did buy a few hundred stone white silk and yellow silk from a few of them, because the Taiwan Governor's Office can't turn over the money, so it can only owe them first."

Shen Huai looked at Cliff with interest, "You wait for the Yi people, buy other people's goods, but don't pay the cash, is it because you want to repay the debt?" ”

"No, no, no", Cliff's face changed and he hurriedly waved his hand, "We Dutch people pay the most attention to credibility in business, and we have never thought of repaying this money, but we really can't turn it over, so we make credit." ”

"If Your Excellency the Governor does not believe me, you can ask them for verification," Cliff hesitated for a moment and added, "Although Taiwan has been occupied by Luzon, I believe that His Excellency the Governor of Batavia would have agreed to compensate him if he had known about it." ”

Seeing Shen Huai turn his head to look at himself and the others, Huang Lin took the lead and nodded vigorously, "County lord, what the red hair said is right, although they don't know etiquette, they are indeed very trustworthy in doing business, and it is also because of this that everyone dares to come to the big man to do business with confidence." ”

"Hmm, I didn't expect that the Netherlands, a small state of Taixi, would also know that faith is the foundation."

Shen Huai sighed lightly, he had been the head of the Ministry of Commerce, so he was naturally very familiar with business travel.

Now that he saw that Cliff, as a prisoner, had the courage to promise compensation from the Dutch East India Company, a thousand emotions suddenly rose in his heart.

Now the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty still pay attention to the word Xinyi, but the Ming government is basically synonymous with robbers.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind first, Shen Huai pointed at Cliff with satisfaction and said to Huang Lin and the others:

"Since the Dutch have agreed to compensation, then the official will ask them to revise the book now, how about you go to the Dutch in Batavia to ask for it?"

"Thank you so much for the county", although Huang Lin and others were a little depressed that it would take more than half a year to get this money, this was already a relatively good result.

Sending people to send the four away, Shen Huai opened his mouth and left Bolger and Cliff behind.

The affairs of Huang Lin and others made him very interested in the business affairs of the Dutch, so he took advantage of this effort to make a good noise.

Five days later, Shen Huai's letter was placed on the desk of Premier Su Jin.

"Lao Chen, come and see Shen Huai's excerpt, this person is a brain, rare, rare."

"Please discuss the war compensation discount?"

Chen Yiding took Shen Huai's recital and read it softly.

The Liu family has long popularized sentence reading, so it is much easier to read and write, Chen Yiding read the fold a few times at a glance, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Brother Xingzhi, what do you think about this?"

Su Jin picked up the coffee cup on his table and took a sip, and a strong fragrance rushed to the bottom of his nose.

"I think it's a good thing", putting aside his newly developed hobby, Su Jin said with a smile.

"Shen Huai was able to understand the way of governance from the Dutch compensating Huang Lin and other merchants, which is a good thing. It is the second best thing to apply for compensation for the businessmen who suffered losses in the war in the Taiwan Strait, so as to establish the prestige of our Luzon as fair, just, and open. ”

"This Shen Huai is really a talent", Chen Yiding didn't say anything directly, but put the fold back on the table with a smile.

"In the past, there were Shang Jun Limu, and now I have Luzon to compensate people, which can be regarded as a good story, hahaha."

Hearing Chen Yiding's praise, Su Jin was also relieved.

"When the lord left, he only talked to the two of us that Luzon was lonely overseas, and the key to its governance was to win people, and now if the matter of the assembly house can be smoothly promoted, then the hearts of the natives can be obtained, and with this trick, the hearts of the merchants of various countries can also be obtained."

"Hahaha"

In the prime minister's office, there was the hearty laughter of Su and Chen.

In late November, a Luzon official document was quickly circulated among merchants on the southeast coast and in the South Seas.

The Luzon General's Office decided to open a war compensation channel for merchants from various countries in the South China Sea who suffered direct losses in the war between Luzon and Zhengjia and the war between Luzon and the Netherlands from June to October of the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

All eligible businessmen from various countries can apply for registration at the county office of Anping County, Taiwan, the Luzon General's Mansion before the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and after verification by Luzon, they will directly compensate for the corresponding losses.

When this news came out, for a time the businessmen of the southeast coast and the South China Sea were all impressed by the Luzon General's Mansion.

Originally, everyone was still waiting and watching Luzon's occupation of Taiwan, but now with the introduction of Luzon's policy, even the Zheng family, who gritted their teeth with hatred for Luzon, is convinced of Luzon's faithfulness.

In addition, Luzon has a lot of money and low tariffs, and Luzon and Taiwan have entered a state of large-scale construction and development, and the number of business travelers to Anping, Qianzhou, and other places has gradually increased, contributing greatly to the development and growth of these two places.

In such an atmosphere, the Luzon Navy, which had been repaired for more than a month, was dispatched again.

A small fleet led by the battleship Wu Qi 3rd class arrived off the coast of Guangzhou Bay on the fourth day of December.

It is said that it is a small fleet, but in fact there is also 1 battleship, 3 cruisers, and 6 frigates, and as soon as such a fleet appeared in Guangzhou Bay, it immediately frightened the Guangdong naval division.

No matter how the commander of the Guangdong capital asked the envoy Si Yamen, the Guangdong sailors only dared to shrink in the water village and refused to come out.

Led by Zhao Jingyong, a team of 100 soldiers swaggered ashore on the dock of Guangzhou City, and no one dared to stop them along the way.

The Luzon Army's big red straight-breasted military uniform made the Ming people fresh, and after a while, the Luzon people did not seem to be as ferocious as the legend, and they were all Han faces, and more and more Han people came to watch.

Zhao Jingyong has been leading people and horses to the vicinity of Dinghaimen in the south of Guangzhou, and only then did he meet Tan Kai, the governor of Guangzhou who came with five hundred servants.

"Stop, where are you waiting for the soldiers and horses, and they dare to trespass on the city."

Guangzhou Tongzhi Tan Kai is of medium stature, with a typical long face in the north, but the slightly trembling hem exposes his true psychology.

Zhao Jingyong smiled, "We are the naval officers and soldiers of the Luzon General's Mansion, and we specially came to visit Governor Li's mansion, before the Zheng family in Fujian has signed an agreement with my family, and the sea area west of Fujian is in charge of my Luzon, have you ever known about this matter?" ”

Tan Kai's face was blue and white for a while, and no one knew the name of the Zheng family in Fujian, even if they were officials, they also had to accept money from the Zheng family.

In the past few months, the prestige of the Luzon people has gradually spread in Fujian and the coastal areas of Guangzhou, but now looking at the battle of the Luzon people, it is not as easy to deal with as the Zheng family.

Looking at the forest-like team behind Zhao Jingyong, and then at the gang of gangsters behind him, Tan Kai sighed, and his momentum was much lower.

"In that case, Your Excellency, please come with me to meet Taishou."

Because the yamen of the governor of Liangguang was located in Zhaoqing, and the political envoy of Guangdong was unwilling to come forward, Li Xingfa, the governor of Guangzhou, had to pinch his nose to meet with Zhao Jingyong and his party.

In the yamen of the Guangzhou prefect, Zhao Jingyong's attitude is quite kind.

The Li Governor in front of him, if Liu Ximing is still there, he will definitely be able to recognize it, and last year, Liu Ximing also met with this Li Governor.

Considering that Liu Ximing's current identity could not be exposed, You Degao sent Zhao Jingyong, a person who had never appeared in Guangzhou City, as the commander.

As for the Guangdong Navy Division, who had fought with the Luzon Fleet, Liu Ximing did not directly expose his relationship with the Luzon Navy at that time, and only relied on speculation to make any use.
