Gao Han frowned when he heard this, what the hell is this, in the land of my Ming Dynasty, use the laws of your Portuguese kingdom to act, and, if you don't seem to cooperate, you will drive away directly or be killed as pirates, this is a bit overbearing, to go deeper, this is already called a violation of sovereignty, let alone with a group of armed sailors, here to "maintain order" or something.

However, the more domineering is still to come, the appearance of this Leo, the expressions of the two Ming officers, did not change, but with a questioning tone, they attacked this beautiful bearded man.

"Leo, this is the maintenance of order that your Chamber of Commerce promises, and this is the way to make our brothers worry-free?"

"Two adults, I'll deal with this matter right away, I'll deal with it right away!" Leo replied with a smile, and the smile was actually a bit flattering.

"Don't make trouble for us!" The two servants just pointed at his nose and shouted: "If you make our brother angry, then you have to check your Chamber of Commerce!" ”

The two officers left haughtily, including, of course, a few silver dollars from the captain's girl they had taken from their arms, but at this time, the girl had no heart to pay attention to this little thing.

"You come with me, put away the weapons, otherwise I, I will order it to be forcibly confiscated!" Li even watched the Daming messenger leave, turned his head, and made a face again: "Also, your transaction must be completed, the Chamber of Commerce does not want to receive complaints from Daming merchants or officials, if the transaction is not completed, the losses caused will be all responsible for you!" ”

"But where do we have any money!" The captain's girl shouted loudly, the transaction was completed, which meant that in addition to the few silver dollars she had lost, she also had to pay a third of the silver dollars, and she wanted to make some money to repair some ships, which was difficult to even eat and drink.

"I don't care about this!" Leo looked cold: "There is no money, you still have a ship, even if you don't have a ship, you still have people, you should know that in the East, slaves are also very marketable!" ”

The girl was aggrieved and made people pay the silver dollar, so that the Ming merchant left satisfied, and then commanded the people to send the purchased goods back to her ship, and after all this, the girl left with the chamber of commerce personnel who had been waiting impatiently.

Gao Han and the others watched this farce from beginning to end, and he finally understood why no one paid attention to this farce, it turned out that in addition to the power of the Ming Dynasty's government, there was also its own power to maintain order, this kind of farce, under the suppression of these two forces, was destined to be impossible to make a big fuss.

"I look at this ghost, but he has the potential to be a brocade guard!" Liu Ru smiled lightly in Gao Han's ear: "I look at his actions, why are you so familiar, now that I think about it, isn't this the same virtue as those brocade guards who patrol the streets outside the alley of Dengshi?" ”

Gao Han smiled and touched his nose: "Find a place to eat, don't say these boring words, okay?" ”

There are taverns on the street, both Chinese and Western.

Gao Han naturally wouldn't take two women to those Western-style taverns, not to mention anything else, he couldn't stand the body smell of those fans, let alone these two delicate girls.

Sihai Restaurant, is the largest Chinese restaurant in this trench mirror, in a large area of buildings with exotic characteristics, this two-story restaurant, is more eye-catching, more importantly, the Ming merchants who have come to the trench mirror here, all know that this restaurant is Xiangshan County to make the brother-in-law into the fund, whether it is eating, drinking or lodging here, safety is guaranteed.

Therefore, it is difficult to think about the business of this restaurant.

Gao Han and the others stepped into the restaurant, and Xiao Er immediately greeted them, bringing more than a dozen merchants from people and their families, but the first-class customers were the most welcome to them.

Some people in the restaurant have books, but there seem to be few people who listen, this time it is not yet noon, the restaurant is inevitably a little sparse, Gao Han and his party came in, and the people sitting in the hall handed over their eyes one after another.

"I want a private room!"

Gao Han didn't care about this bit of money, and walked towards the second floor directly under the guidance of Xiao Er, as for the cost, he didn't ask.

When you come to the local area, you naturally want to eat some local characteristics, Gao Han doesn't know what is delicious in this trench mirror, but think about it, it is nothing more than some seafood and the like, and Jingshi is definitely not comparable, but after eating on the boat, the food on the ship, the gluttonous worms in everyone's mouth are about to come out, as long as the ingredients are fresh, it is estimated that there is nothing to be picky.

The dishes were served like water, and the guards were at a table outside, and Gao Han, Wu Yanran and Liu Ru, the three of them, sat in the private room, eating and drinking slowly.

"Aren't you going to go to the local government office and meet the local officials?" Liu Ru was eating, more delicate than Wu Yanran, peeled off an oyster, and swallowed it slowly after learning how to eat.

"It's not time yet!" Gao Han shook his head, although he had the name of the Southeast Wind Watching Envoy, he had already decided that after the purchase of cannons for the emperor first, he would consider the matter of watching the wind, and it was obviously not much benefit to contact the local government at this time.

"It's just that the official of the household department, when will it arrive!" Liu Ru shook his head: "Those officials are very procrastinating, if no one urges, what can be done in a month, they can delay it for half a year!" ”

"Don't worry about that!" Gao Han said: "This matter is staring at the military department, and the Liaodong side is also tight, and the heavens have listened to it, and the people in the household department will not dare to ignore this matter no matter how long it drags on!" ”

Speaking of this, he remembered that he had not seriously discussed this matter with Liu Ru, but only mentioned the ins and outs of this matter, and now that he had arrived at the ground, he just asked Liu Ruyi's opinion, after all, she was once the emperor's "high counselor", although until now, she herself did not know.

"By the way, you probably know about this matter, do you think that the emperor sent me, what should I do in this matter?"

"You?" Liu Ru glanced at her: "You don't know what you're here for, are you here like this?" ”

"The emperor has a will, do I dare not listen?" Gao Han smiled bitterly: "Seriously, I have pondered about this matter, the silver purchased is not from the military expenses of the imperial court this year, it is considered these silver taels of the household department extorted by the Ministry of War, not to mention how these silver taels are squeezed out, they can't enter the inner court, and they also go out of the treasury, as for the purchase of ordnance, I definitely don't have any say in this aspect, what do you say I am here for?" ”

"Is it to keep an eye on the officials to prevent them from being greedy for ink?" He shook his head: "Or do big things with a small amount of money, and try to promote the purchase of more ordnance urgently needed by the imperial court?" ”

"You're thinking too much!" Liu Ru shook his head and put down the food in his hand: "You can get here, even if you don't do anything, you have already completed the emperor's will!" ”

"Ahh

Seeing Gao Han's incomprehensible look, Liu Ru sighed: "I ascended the throne this year, and I will change the year name after the year, right!" ”

"yes!" Gao Han nodded, not understanding what it mattered.

"Enthroned!" Liu Ru couldn't wait to knock him the head, if Wu Yanran wasn't around.

"When he ascends the throne, he is the emperor, the emperor who reigns over the world, why is the emperor so anxious to deal with Wei Zhongxian, it is because he can't tolerate the supremacy of imperial power, and there are still people who point fingers and can't tolerate it, there is anyone who threatens the imperial power, the emperor is originally the respect of the Ninety-Five, and he is a man of his word!"

"That's right!" Gao Han has no objection to this statement.

"So, does the emperor want to control everything in his own hands, at this time, has the expenditure of the Ministry of War extorted from the Ministry of Household Affairs gone through the emperor?" Liu Ru nodded: "To put it thoroughly, this is the meaning that the emperor has not yet fully controlled the government, this matter, whether it is the courtiers' temptation of the emperor, or the cabinet's temptation of the emperor, in short, if the emperor has no reaction at all, then these courtiers can worry a lot less!" ”

"Hmph, do they still dare to disobey the emperor's will?" Gao Han snorted.

"You can't say that!" Liu Ru patiently explained to him: "In addition to the three ministries and six courts, compared with the previous dynasty, our Ming Dynasty has one more cabinet, and those officials in our court have always believed in the 'scholar and the son of heaven rule the world together', not 'the scholar rules the world for the son of heaven', so what the new emperor wants in this regard, they must figure it out!" ”

"What are you doing with such a simple thing, what are you doing with such a complicated thing!" Gao Han was stunned: "These readers, the things in their heads are too complicated!" ”
