This is indeed the best way to go.

First of all, it is very difficult to directly confront Yang Xin, and it is okay for the gentry in Guangdong to work together, but it is impossible for the problem to work together.

Who is the main victim of Yang Xin's tax law?

First officials, but the problem is that officials have power in their hands, they have the ability to push this loss on the heads of others, and without control of maritime trade, they will also make money, but in a different way.

You have the right to play however you want.

The second tooth line, that is, the thirty-six rows, these franchisees.

They were very unlucky to be caught between Yang Xin and the officials in Guangzhou, neither dared to confront those officials, nor were they able to resist Yang Xin's cannons, and the only way was to pass it on to downstream suppliers, but Yang Xin canceled the franchise so that all merchants could trade directly, so these suppliers would not be able to wait.

The tooth line is over.

The third legal maritime merchant is like Li Chongwen.

They spent a lot of money to get the ship guide and get the right to go to sea to trade, but Yang Xin's new tax law abolished the ship guide, whoever has the ability can go to sea, and directly get a tax payment brand when paying taxes in Macao, so what are the advantages of Li Chongwen? Originally, his family actually made a fortune by exporting weapons, but Yang Xin did not prohibit the export of weapons, but the 100% tax, of course, does not mean that it cannot be sold, after all, the quality of weapons in Foshan is not to be said.

However, if you add all the taxes, it will not be easy to sell.

Therefore, Yang Xin collects 100% of the tax, so Li Chongwen can only reduce profits, make less money and then sell these weapons.

It was he who lost.

But......

It doesn't matter to the gentry outside of the above.

At most, Yang Xin's crackdown on smuggling has affected them, but what is the reason for smuggling, isn't it that he can't get a ship to lead him and doesn't have the right to trade at sea? Now that Yang Xin has canceled the ship introduction, everyone is a legal overseas trade, and it is a big deal to pay taxes in the past to buy peace of mind. And the same is true for those small smugglers who do not go to sea, there is actually no difference between paying taxes to Yang Xin and paying bribes at various checkpoints because they are illegal, and even because Yang Xin's clearly marked price does not have to be afraid of being arrested.

As for cutting off Yang Xin's food, it's even more of a joke.

The grain sold by the white ships is not overseas trade, but nothing more than a small amount of market tax and deed tax paid in Macao.

But they were legal.

Originally, they all watched the wealth of the rice bank officials rolling into the fire!

Now everyone can legally sell rice to Macao, Yang Xin is now throwing out silver to buy rice to feed the people he looted, this white silver doesn't look profitable, it is too much to overestimate the gentry around him, as for Wu Zhongwei's ruthlessness has a fart, when did he say it worked?

Who does he dare to offend?

Li Guozhi's family sells rice, does he dare to arrest it? Yang Dudu said that everyone can in the future, Wu Zhongwei dared to catch Yang Xin's edict and open the door, Li Guozhi and his father did not agree, Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Shuzi, Hanlin Academy, Jishi, maybe one day it will be Shangshu. These official positions in the Zhan Mansion were originally those who were promoted and reserved by the Hanlin Academy, and Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, who are currently the hottest in the imperial court, are all from the Zhan Mansion, Wu Zhongwei dares to bully others like this?

Joke!

He is a political envoy of Zuobu, and he is not like Yang Xin, who can cover the sky with one hand.

Which other gentry who dared to engage in these things did not have such and such a background behind him, Li Chong asked if he relied on his reputation to do business? Obviously because he has a clan brother in the Ministry of Officials, why is the most rampant smuggling in Guangzhou and not elsewhere?

Environmental factors are of course important.

But the really most important thing is that there are eleven jinshi in Guangdong, nine of which are from Guangzhou Prefecture.

Who doesn't have a background in the imperial court?

The holy decree of the times when the imperial power is not lower than the county may not be easy to make, let alone a political envoy.

So it's really useless.

As a member of the gentry, Li Chongwen knew very well what kind of discipline everyone had.

But this plan to kill two birds with one stone is really funny.

"One of Li Dan's ships is loading sugar in Xu Wen, you go to their people, give them silver, and let them send you south, the red-haired people are estimated to be ready to drive out of Java, you go to Pettani to wait for them, go to Lianzhou together, I will arrange for someone to wait for you in Lianzhou."

Li Chongwen said.

At this time, the Dutch controlled Pattani.

At present, the Netherlands and Portugal are in the South China Sea, and they sink each other when they encounter each other, so it is impossible for Dutch merchant ships to anchor in Macao, and other coastal ports are not allowed to trade with foreign countries, so the Dutch urgently need a supply point to Hirado, Japan, which is why they tried to seize Penghu back then.

But Penghu is certainly not as good as Hong Kong.

If they could get a port like Macao, the Dutch would definitely not hesitate to fight.

Then fool them!

Let them fight with Yang Xin's blockade fleet, and in the end, whoever wins will be a miserable victory, and then the Portuguese and pirates will give them a fatal blow, as for the reception of the Ming officials, it is not worth mentioning at all, and the Ming officials do not understand the red-haired language, and the red-haired people do not know who the Ming officials are. It's nothing more than taking it to Guangzhou, and then bringing it to the political envoy Yamen to give Wu Zhongwei a gift, as long as Wu Zhongwei has money to receive, he has no interest in caring what kind of ghost this red-haired man is, as for giving them Hong Kong, it is completely here The translator said it casually, anyway, he just didn't admit it afterwards.

What else can a red-haired man do?

It's all fought, does it matter why they fight?

The two discussed it and immediately went their separate ways.

Of course, Yang Dudu didn't know that some of the people here had already begun to plan to deal with him by luring him like those in Liaodong, and he didn't know that the Portuguese who were acting deferentially these days were actually already designing a conspiracy.

He was facing a debt collector.

"Give you silver?"

Yang Dudu, who was instructing those Tanmin women to engage in aquatic product processing, looked at a middle-aged man in front of him suspiciously.

He has now urgently converted several trawlers, which have been prepared for a long time, and then led by northern sailors who are familiar with trawling, together with the Tan people, to trawl in the mouth of the Pearl River. The sheer number of fish in this place is so great that as soon as this professional trawler comes out, it immediately piles up mountains of fish in Macau, and in order to avoid rapid decay, it can only be cleaned as quickly as possible, and then boiled with a pile of salt, spices, peppers and even sugar until it is rotten, and then put it in a jar and sealed.

So that there will be no problems for at least a month.

It will be in the cellar for even longer.

That's what these Tanjia girls do.

After all, as more and more Tan people are attracted to it, just eating every day is a lot of money.

"Governor Yang, the royal palace still needs 20,000 taels this year to be allocated by the Guangdong Domain Division from Xie Jingyin."

The latter saluted.

"It's only 20,000?"

Yang Xin said.

"Well, if the governor has silver, he can also allocate the arrears of previous years, since the forty-eighth year of Wanli, there are still 40,000 taels, because the imperial court in Liaodong is in short supply, so it has been in arrears, if the governor can be allocated together, my king is grateful."

The latter said with a visibly slightly agitated voice.

"No, the governor of Bendu is contracted by Guangdong Customs, and the contract fee was directly given to my uncle in the capital, and every ingot of silver collected now is surnamed Yang, since it is my silver, it has nothing to do with the silver that should be taxed in Guangdong, since it has nothing to do with it, then you should not come to me, if you want to, go to the capital to find my uncle!"

Yang Xin said.

"Governor Yang, Wu Fangbo said that you will pay."

The latter immediately became anxious and shouted emotionally.

"What does Wu Zhongwei say to me?"

Yang Xin said.

"He said it was your nephew who promised."

The man shouted.

"Did you promise?"

Yang Xin asked Yang Huan.

"No, never!"

Yang Huan said righteously.

"You see, my nephew never promised that!"

Yang Xin said.

"Yang Dudu, I ran from Guilin to Guangzhou, and then from Guangzhou to here, you push one by one, are you using our Jingjiang Mansion as a monkey? It must be known that our king is also a nobleman, how can he be so humiliated, if the governor can't give the next explanation, he has to go back to report to the king, and then the king will play directly to His Majesty. ”

The man said angrily.

"Come, come!"

Yang Xin said to him kindly.

The man walked up to him proudly, and then Yang Xin hugged him like an old friend.

"I spent 400,000 taels to contract this Guangdong Customs, I paid 400,000 taels to the inner treasury, and then raised this big gang, tens of thousands of people are also mine, and the wages are paid by me, so far I have paid 500,000 yuan for this matter, and the income adds up to less than 10,000 taels. If I can collect 600,000 yuan here in the rest of the year, I can barely return the capital, and if I can't collect it, no one will make it up to me, and every penny of silver collected here will be mine.

You have come to me for money?

All you want is my hard-earned money! ”

Yang Dudu roared very sensationally.

Of course, he is pure nonsense, he has not given a tael of silver to the contract fee so far, and as for the fleet is a regular sailor of the Gegu Navy Division, he has spent some money on food.

"Yang Dudu, I don't care about this, I was ordered to come to receive the silver, the Guangxi treasury still lacks 20,000 taels for us, and the 20,000 taels are allocated by the Guangdong Jiejing tax silver, and the Guangdong customs tax is the Beijing tax silver, and our silver is allocated from here, which has always been the case in previous years, this is the rule. The governor will either give the silver according to the rules, or report to the king in the next year, but at that time, the king will play, and your Excellency will not be afraid of a suspicion of bullying the clan? ”

The man said proudly.

The next moment, he felt a huge force coming from behind him, and then involuntarily lay forward, and then the Tanjia girls in front of him threw out the accumulated fish viscera and rushed to his face.

He subconsciously screamed.

Then he plunged headlong into the pile of fish entrails that had begun to accumulate with flies......

"If you don't listen to you, you have to force your master to be mad!"

Yang Dudu said speechlessly.
