Chapter 311: Here He Comes

Cleaning is not cleanable.

The purpose of Yang Xin's trip was only to reform the customs, establish a real customs and taxation system, and then force the local tycoons in Guangzhou to take over the burden of tax package.

The purge of officialdom was of no use to his trip.

He's just a shock.

Of course, if there are really those who don't open their eyes and jump out, then they can only shoot to death, but if these officials are still sensible, then just squeeze some oil and water out of them, and the most important thing for Yang Xin now is to make money as quickly as possible.

The earthquake in Shandong has already occurred.

The six-magnitude earthquake centered on Yuncheng has only received a few reports in Guangdong at present, and the specific extent of damage has not been mentioned, but the structure of the houses in this era is completely scum in the face of an earthquake of this level. And what the Di newspaper said was only the first earthquake, and in the next nearly two months, the earthquake continued in the area at the junction of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, and it was not until the end of April that it finally stopped, although Jiu Qiansuise and Fang Congzhe would definitely provide relief to prevent a rebellion, but ......

They must have money in their hands.

And Yang Xin was given to them to raise money for disaster relief.

On the afternoon of the second day after he was stationed in Macau, at the urging of Yang Xin, the Portuguese merchants in Macao finally collected the first fine for him.

There is no shortage of silver here.

In fact, they scraped together a total of 280,000 pesos.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Xin sent a five-hundred-li expedited dispatch from Xu Ruke's deputy envoy of the Guangdong Sea Road, informing the nine thousand years old of the news, and telling him that he had received a sum of silver, and that this silver was to be paid directly to the household department by Shoucheng Qian Zhuang in the capital, as the first fine of the Portuguese. Shandong Laiwu people's household department Shangshu Qi Shijiao, can directly use this silver for disaster relief, although the specific amount of disaster relief funds approved by the Apocalypse is not known for the time being, but Fang Congzhe and Qi Shijiao will definitely try their best to let all the 200,000 for disaster relief.

As for the officials' greed for ink......

This Yang Xin is helpless for the time being.

But fortunately, Qi Shijiao will try to control it as much as possible, after all, his family is there, and his family will be unlucky if there is a rebellion.

All in all, the first fine was received without a hitch.

At the same time, his subordinates completely completed the control of Macao, and even dragged out four completed eighteen-pounder guns from the cannon foundry and dragged them directly to Guia Hill to erect them, while Guia and Fortress Hill also erected cannons, four infantry battalions were stationed in three places and the arsenal, and the fleet's twenty-six cruisers began to patrol the mouth of the Pearl River, so Macao was quickly built into a fortress by Yang Xin.

As for everything else, it's business as usual.

Because it is not the trade season, in fact, Macao is not busy at this time, mainly some smugglers who come to trade, and it is not a large smuggling, it is the villagers around Guangzhou, driving small boats, and even carrying burdens, to send all kinds of goods here, which are purchased by the Portuguese and put into storage, waiting for the arrival of merchant ships during the trade season.

This is a very important way of smuggling in Guangdong.

Don't underestimate these petty smugglers, who can even divide up a whole shipload of spices from the Portuguese before the government arrives.

Originally, they didn't pay taxes.

They are not legal trade, and the Ming Dynasty can trade in thirty-six lines.

But now their three protectors are all in Yang Xin's prison.

The bosses of the three thieves' dens in Xiangshan County, the garrison, and the city boss are all suffering in prison, and this place is completely controlled by Yang Xin, so they can only pay taxes, although these guys are very annoyed but useless, after all, the eight heads are hanging on the dock, and these small smugglers are still not capable of fighting the cannons.

However, to Yang Xin's surprise, the rice in it was actually smuggled goods, and it was also an important smuggled product.

The officials in Guangzhou strictly forbade the private sector to sell rice here, and only 36 merchants had permission to sell it.

In fact, Guangzhou is also short of food.

This was originally one of the most important rice producing areas in the Ming Dynasty, and the situation was similar to Suzhou, because of the cultivation of mulberry and silkworms and the cultivation of a large number of sugarcane to extract sugar, resulting in less and less rice planting area, and the grain was completely dependent on external supplies, so that more rice was transported to Macao, and less rice was sent to Guangzhou. There were not many Portuguese here, but it was also an important supply depot for sea smugglers and pirates, who also had to buy rice here, so the Canton authorities strictly controlled the shipment of rice to Macau.

But then it is cheaper for smugglers.

Grain ships known as white ships continue to bring rice here.

Moreover, these ships are not necessarily from Guangdong, or even from Fujian, and these white-ship ships will even cause a shortage of food in eastern Guangdong, because rice is shipped from this area.

"That's what makes money!"

Yang Xin said speechlessly.

Li Yuan waited tremblingly on the side.

It is said that this kind of smuggling is under his ignorance, as long as Yang Dudu wants to punish the crime, he can now use Shang Fang's sword to cut him, he is a military position, Yang Xin can cut it if he wants, but Yang Dudu is obviously much better to the military than to civilian officials, although he arrested the former cottage general, but he didn't do anything else, and he didn't even say much about this smuggling situation.

In addition to having to pay taxes, it doesn't matter even if they smuggle grain from the white ships.

"Why don't you fish here?"

Yang Xin said.

"If you go back to the governor, there are too few fishing, far from enough to eat, and they are all doing it, and they are all looking for them to buy it here."

Li Yuan said.

"Salazar, take the fleet around here, drive all the people who are fishing, and if they don't listen, they will open fire, and tell them that if they want to live a good life, come here, and if they don't want to live a good life, then there is no need to continue to live."

Yang Xin said.

Such a person can be a thug at sea.

But before that, you have to let them know who they're up against.

Or rather, a beating first.

If you want to take in your subordinates this year, you have to do this, first beat or even kill a batch, and then give the rest of the good future, if you are disobedient, you will continue to kill, you will only be treated as a fool if you are reasonable, and the fist is the best in this era, so Yang Dudu likes this way of life very much now, after all, no one can compare to him than the fist, and he can be unscrupulous in this era.

Salazar immediately rushed to the dock.

At this time, the various officials in Guangzhou had fallen into the panic of black clouds crushing the city......

Guangzhou Procuratorate.

"Brother Cunsi, what the hell is going on?"

Wu Zhongwei, the political envoy of Zuo Bu, said with a solemn face.

"Why did this devil get to Macau, didn't he go to North Korea?"

Li Shuyuan, a political envoy from Jinjiang, said with a sad face.

"Brother Cunsi, you have something to say, didn't he go to North Korea to aid North Korea? This newspaper has just arrived, why did he suddenly run to Macau? ”

Zhou Guangxie, a native of Yongkang, said.

And among them, Wang Zunde, a native of Sizhou, a member of the Guangdong Supervision Imperial History, had a constipated expression on his face, looking at the report that Xiangshan County had just sent in his hand, but this was the earliest, because of the efficiency problem, more and more exciting content had not yet been sent, this was only sent by the Xiangshan Governor before leaving, and as for the Governor of Macao, he was imprisoned after arriving in Macau, and the members here did not know it.

But that's enough.

Yang Xin!

This traitor, demon, and evil executioner, he came, he came to Guangdong, and it was time to say that it was time for him to go, and there would be a bloody storm wherever he went, and where his demonic atmosphere was shrouded, the sun and the moon would be gone, and the officials would not be able to live.

The blood and tears of the Wuxi gentry.

The souls of the soldiers who were killed by shells under the city of Yangzhou.

There are also more than 1,000 heads of the Liaoyang family, and 1,130 heads cut off by one person with Shang Fang's sword.

This Guangzhou city instantly overwhelmed the city with black clouds.

"Guys, what do you want me to say? It's been almost a year since I left the capital, and I know more than you? ”

Wang Zunde said.

He is not strictly an official in Guangdong.

The legendary Eight Prefectures of the Ming Dynasty were inspected by the Imperial Inspectorate to supervise the imperial history of a province for a period of one year, which is not counted as the time on the road, that is to say, from the south of the capital, one year from the time he stepped into the province, and he had the right to impeach all military and political officials in the province during this inspection period.

But it has no power to punish crimes.

He only has the power of impeachment against these officials.

At the end of the year he had to leave, and at the same time as he left, another overseer was replaced.

"Uncle Fang!"

An official suddenly trotted in with a panic.

"Brother Shiyu, what's the alarm?"

Wu Zhongwei said.

"Yang Xin successively arrested Deputy Envoy Xu in Macao, a former Shanzhai general, Xiangshan County."

The political envoy who came in was senatorial, and Hong Xianruo, a Tongan person, said.

"Arrest? What crime? ”

Zhou Guangxie said angrily.

"It is said that Deputy Envoy Xu colluded with the Japanese and intended to rebel."

Hong Xianruo said with a wry smile.

"Ganlin Niang!"

Li Shuyuan was excited, and the local voice came out.

"What does this dog want to do?"

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly resumed his official speech, and said angrily in Hong Xianruo's stunned gaze.

"Ladies and gentlemen, he is going to attack you, this thief has always been like this, no matter where he goes, he first fabricates charges to arrest an official, and then concocts a confession with wide implications, forcing this person to sign and draw a prisoner, and then uses this as an excuse to purge the place, and then wantonly raid the house and destroy the door. He is doing this again, first arresting Xu Ruke, and then asking Xu Ruke to sign the confession he concocted, so as to set off a purge of Guangdong officialdom and arrest as many officials as possible to raid their homes.

Ladies and gentlemen, disaster is coming.

Wang immediately took the post back to Beijing to face the saint, and he could not allow him to poison Zhongliang in Guangdong. ”

Wang Zunde resolutely got up and said.

Then before he could take a step, he was pressed back by Wu Zhongwei......

"Don't panic, Brother Cunsi, this Guangdong is not up to him, let's go to see Chen Dutang together, there are still people in Guangdong who preside over the overall situation."

Wu Zhongwei said with contempt.

"Uh, you guys go to see Chen Dutang and enter the Jingmian Saint under the city."

Wang Zunde said.

"Why do you need to be like this, Chen Dutang is enough, let's go to Zhaoqing!"

Li Shuyuan also got up and said.

Wang Zunde awkwardly followed the two of them up, and was surrounded by a group of big men and went out......
