The military factory is a gluttony that can never be fed, and Xiao Ruxun doesn't know when he will be able to see what he wants to see, but there is no doubt about one thing, money can't be stopped.

However, the military factory needs to invest money, other places also need to allocate money, urban expansion needs money, village settlement construction needs money, and a steady stream of people who come to Myanmar to seek a living need shelter and heaven and earth, this is what Xiao Ruxun promised when he recruited the displaced people, this is a signboard, and it cannot be broken.

Compared with such a large investment and limited income, it immediately seems that Xiao Ruxun is a complete poor ghost, for this reason, he wants to go crazy with money, but it is very helpless that now people with silver are staying in Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, living a luxurious life, and not caring about the life and death of other people.

There is a very interesting set of statistics, from the Longqing switch in 1572 to the fall of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, in the past 70 years, one-third of the total amount of silver produced in the world poured into China, totaling about 500 million taels of silver.

In other words, the gold and silver plundered by Spain and Portugal from the Americas eventually flowed into China in the form of trade.

However, it should be noted that according to the tax rules of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the 500 million taels of silver could not eat a few bites, and from Wanli to Chongzhen, the commercial tax on the southeast coast decreased year after year.

In the year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen gave a fool and directly lost the only little bit of business tax left, which made a farce of seven taels of silver for the tea tax.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so poor that he jingled, and the people were so poor that he jingled, so what about the silver? What about the five hundred million taels of silver?

All of them were in the hands of the officials, merchants, gentry and big landlords on the southeast coast, all in their hands, and the Ming government could not get a piece of the silver that flowed into China through commerce.

Xiao Ruxun knows very well that the rich people in the three provinces of Nanzhili, Fujian, and Zhejiang together definitely have no more than 100 million taels of cash in their hands, which is equivalent to the financial revenue of the Ming government for 50 years, and as time goes by, the inflow of this silver will only be more and not less.

Their heritage is profound, the wealth of wealth, comparable to those modern business bulls, and even better than them, that is a sum of cash, there are no stocks and foreign capital to participate in the shares, all they get in their hands are real money, not false at all.

But as long as the commercial tax can be levied, the Ming government will suddenly find that its financial revenue has increased several times at once, almost catching up with the level of the Song Dynasty, but no, they will never allow the emperor to levy commercial taxes, they support their own spokesmen in the central government, and do their best to prevent the emperor from collecting commercial taxes.

Xiao Ruxun has no resistance here, so the business tax is very happy, and from here, he also intercepted a batch of silver that should have flowed into the pockets of those gentry and landlords on the southeast coast.

Although the amount of this batch of silver is not much, as time goes by, Xiao Ruxun will definitely be noticed by these people, and they will notice that the existence of Myanmar Town will become their henchmen, which is what Xiao Ruxun will face in the future.

These moths and rats of the country were still unwilling to take out a little money to help the Ming deal with the Manchus, and when the Manchus put a knife on their necks, they knew that the aliens would not reason with them.

The wealth of more than 70 years was all cheaper to the Manchu Qing, and the Manchus raided and killed, at least hundreds of millions of silver from these people, helping him stabilize his regime.

Amusing!

Xiao Ruxun has no way to get money from these people now, and he doesn't want to do business with these people, there are groups of civil officials and imperial histories standing behind them, and the relationship is tough, and Xiao Ruxun will be very troublesome if he can't go up at every turn.

His only reliance in the capital is Song Yingchang, Song Yingchang has been stable as the secretary of the Criminal Department for the past three years, but it is not enough to support Xiao Ruxun.

If you can't get through inside, you can only go outside, in this acre of three-point land in Nanyang, Xiao Ruxun's face is still useful, and when he gives an order, no one dares to say a word, so he can snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of those gentry landlords and eat it himself, which is all won by force.

But this piece of meat can't support itself now, and another piece of delicious barbecue meat is still not roasted on the fire, so you can only go to other places to grab meat to eat, and the meat of the rest of the small countries is either too small to stuff your teeth, or the vassal countries with good relations can't put your mouth shut.

Xiao Ruxun has always been greedy for Spain's spice business, so he wants to get a piece of the pie, but the Spaniards are not stupid, it is impossible to give Xiao Ruxun some meat to eat for no reason, they themselves are not enough to eat!

Xiao Ruxun couldn't find a suitable reason, so he had been picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and this time he sent Chen Longzheng to do something, also thinking that he wanted to do something so that he could have an excuse to attack the Spaniards, which is good, the excuse is coming.

The dispute with the Spaniards is not a domestic dispute, the domestic political struggle of the Ming Dynasty is about thick black and spicy, forbearance and surprise, and the Chinese officialdom infighting under the influence of Confucian culture is like this, but in the world, it can only be summed up in three words - shameless.

Therefore, when the Qing government first engaged in diplomacy with foreigners, it always suffered losses, and the other party neither showed thick nor forbearance, but talked about interests when they came up, and did not depart from interests in three sentences.

If you have a friendship with him and want to use your personal relationship to get a turnaround on the table, don't even think about it, after more than 100 years of triangular trade, these people have exercised their inertial thinking is robber thinking, only looking at fists and interests, you don't talk about interests with him, or let him perceive your thoughts, then he will immediately turn his face with you.

At the beginning, foreigners had to change contracts and revise contracts at every turn, and if they didn't change or repair, they would fight, which made the Qing government's thick black palace fighting experts very uncomfortable, and suffered a lot of losses for this.

And Xiao Ruxun, who is well versed in the diplomatic secrets of US imperialism running rampant in the world, summed up the simple and crude way of dealing with Europeans - shameless!

It's shameless, don't care about anything, say what is black is white, say what is right and what is wrong, say your own mistakes as the other party's mistakes, snatch the other party's correct approach to your side, stand on the moral high ground to criticize each other, arouse the public indignation, and build yourself into a messenger of justice, the purpose is to do the right thing for heaven, it is best to make others feel that you have to do it, and no one in the world can uphold justice except you.

The cause of this incident was that Xiao Ruxun wanted to take back more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 Filipino Chinese, and to bring them to Burma to fill his own population, and to prevent these people from becoming a lever for the Spaniards to blackmail him in the future.

In the first wave of the contest, the Spaniards were in a mess because of the chaotic invasion of the Ming government, and Xiao Ruxun seized the opportunity to be stunned, and directly withdrew and chose to surrender.

The second wave of the contest is a contest of force, the hawks in the Philippine Governor's Office are not satisfied with the Governor's capitulation behavior, and privately collude with the big businessmen among the overseas Chinese, with the same interest orientation as an opportunity to combine, and they are also very desperate in order to block Xiao Ruxun's evacuation plan.

It's a pity that they encountered the big scourge of Chen Longzheng, and they were directly suffocated by Chen Longzheng's suffocating operation, and all the troops of 200 people were wiped out, not to mention, those big overseas Chinese merchants were also served by Chen Longzheng.

After a group of people got on the boat and left, the Philippine governor, who was brought by Matteo Ricci's messenger, arrived with people......

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ruxun decided to take the right to speak in his own hands, not to give the other party a chance to argue, and to seize the opportunity to attack the Philippines.

First of all, write a righteous letter of protest, saying that I sent someone to coordinate and solve the problem, but instead of helping me solve the problem, you also sent people to stop it, and the army of 200 people dared to hold my adviser hostage, and dared to shoot my adviser so that he was stunned, and I killed 200 of you is worthy of you!

Not only that, but you also colluded with those traitors to prevent me from taking people home, more than 3,000 people died tragically for this, hundreds of people, these lives I will count with you one by one, don't worry!

And then there is the Catholic Church, the Bishop of Alexandria, I am deeply disappointed by the low level of execution and the fragility of your ability to respond, and I no longer trust you, and I cannot allow you to preach in my territory.

In this way, a wave of Philippine governors and bishops of Alexandria were enraged, and their doves and Catholics were attacked again, and they succeeded in provoking their civil strife.

Especially not allowing them to preach, those Catholics have paid everything for the mission in China, and when they see the kick at the door, the athlete who shoots the goal suddenly falls to the ground half-paralyzed, what do you say?

After this incident, the Philippine governor was carried back to Manila, and Bishop Alexander was also shocked to learn of what happened, and the hawks who had always advocated toughness were shocked when they saw the Jingguan formed by the accumulation of more than 200 heads.

What's the matter?

I just thought that the matter had been resolved, but it turned out that the situation was like this, those opposition people concealed this matter from the governor, and if you did it, forget it, we will turn a blind eye, and we will keep some Chinese labor in our hearts.

But not only did you mess up, but you also lost all of yourself, not only did you lose yourself, but you also succeeded in angering Xiao Ruxun, the living king of Hades.

What happened, Matteo Ricci's letter is very clear, he tried every persuasion, Chen Longzheng said not to shoot first, but he didn't expect Hughes to be too arrogant, a shot on the ground under him, scared him to faint, Chen Longzheng looked at it, thought he was killed, so he decided to take revenge, this revenge buried the army of 200 people.

By the time he woke up, it was already too late, and the subsequent actions were internal to the Chinese, and they didn't have to care, but Hughes's real actions to support the big overseas Chinese merchants killed more than 700 Chinese and one Chinese soldier.

Someone died, Xiao Ruxun will definitely not give up, I hope that the governor's palace and the bishop will prepare early, he was taken back to Myanmar to heal - Chen Longzheng stubbornly thought that he was injured and had to take him back.

The Governor really wanted to be angry and wanted to kill, but he couldn't find a target - because they had already been killed by the Chinese in advance.

Two hundred well-trained soldiers, once they fought, were annihilated by the Chinese, the Chinese themselves have not lost, only a few soldiers have broken their feet, the only Chinese soldier killed in the battle was killed when they pursued overseas Chinese merchants, which means that the Spaniards went in with two hundred soldiers in vain but found nothing.

The governor was frightened by the fighting power of the Chinese, he did not think about the situation at that time, only knew that his army did not have any strength to fight back in front of three hundred Chinese soldiers, and was killed, then he only had more than 1,400 troops, as long as two thousand Chinese came, he would definitely die, and Xiao Ruxun had 30,000 troops under him, it was not a secret.

Frightened by the Emperor of China before, and now by the Marquis of China, the Governor has suffered from severe Sinophobia.

"It's over...... Finished...... They're going to send troops! Xiao Ruxun will definitely send troops! We're all going to die...... We're all going to die......"

He held his head in his hands and muttered to himself.

In contrast to the Viceroy's severe Sinophobia, Bishop Alexander's focus was not at all here, but in his missionary and papal path, in his opinion, the Chinese missionary cause was a necessary aid to his road to the pope, and without the support of the thousands of people in the diocese of China, he would have been basically impossible to overcome the senior cardinals.

He is relatively young, and the Pope must be highly respected, he does not have an advantage, and only by opening up the diocese of China to earn a lot of prestige is the only way to the Pope.

Previously, he had received Xiao Ruxun's promise that his first step in China's missionary journey had begun with difficulty, but when he had just lifted one foot, a gunshot hit him in the knee.

What's going on? What is this? My side has worked hard to get peace and missionary qualifications, but as a result, your stupid officers have ruined this future with the sound of a gunshot, and months of hard work have been wasted, and it is very likely that Xiao Ruxun will no longer allow them to preach.

Bishop Alexander suddenly had the feeling that the Chinese porcelain he had longed for a long time had been grabbed by a rude officer and thrown to the ground before he could play with it in his hand.

So he was more confused than the Governor's fear.

After Xiao Ruxun's official note was transmitted, this confusion turned into anger.

Xiao Ruxun said-I don't trust you, the previous promise to allow you to preach is null and void, you can do it yourself, give me a reasonable and acceptable reason, otherwise, I will definitely send troops to recruit you!
