The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"Tricky? With the Son of Heaven, you, and me joining forces, who else can stop it? Qin Haoming Huo Ran stood up, waved his hands and said domineeringly:

"Don't worry too much, as long as the Zheng family is responsible for hijacking the merchant ships that have not paid the protection fee, the rest will be dealt with by the governor.

The Governor wants to see who has the courage to pick up the tiger's whiskers. ”

This is the reason why Qin Haoming asked the Zheng family to join the General Administration of Customs, with his current warship, he is not enough to cruise the entire South China Sea, nor does he have the strength to deal with so many maritime merchants.

With his worries solved, Zheng Zhibao licked his lips and looked at his brother Zheng Zhilong with a look of hope, waiting for his reply.

Obediently, a boat collects 3,000 taels of silver, and they have tens of millions a year. If it is increased by dozens of times, although only 30% will go to the Zheng family, tens of millions will still be easy.

"Okay, then try it first."

Zheng Zhilong was originally a hero, and with such huge interests in front of him, there was no reason to miss it.

"But Governor Qin also has to be more careful, behind these maritime merchants are all Jiangnan Donglin Party members, if they unite, their power should not be underestimated."

Zheng Zhilong was calmer in the end, and added another sentence.

"Hahaha...... Joyfully! Qin Haoming laughed, feeling relieved, "Zheng Zongbing doesn't need to worry, you must know that Donglin represents Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is not Donglin." It's not a monolith.

From the Yangtze River to the south to Liangguang and Fujian, countless workshops, countless maritime merchants, and countless wealthy families, if used properly, are the capital that dominates the world.

For the Son of Heaven to save the country and save the people, for the Dingbian can open up the four seas, this is the ambition of this governor.

As for the bumps and bumps in the early stage, it is inevitable. None of this is anything as long as it benefits them. ”

In Qin Haoming's heart, there is a big chess game, which is gradually opening with the addition of Zheng Zhilong at this moment.

"Interests?"

Zheng Zhibao scratched his head in confusion, what other benefits are there to receive such a huge amount of protection money from others?

"Two generals, the family and the country of the world, the country of the world, there is both a home and a country, the north and the south are thousands of homes, together they are the country, there is the court of the Son of Heaven, and there are hundreds of millions of trillion Li Shu, this is the Ming Dynasty.

Listen to the governor's words, the interests of the General Administration of Customs, we have no problem in collecting them for five or six years, but if you want to come from generation to generation, I am afraid that there is no such good thing in the world.

After all, the money of hundreds of billions of Li Shu cannot be controlled by one family for a long time. Whether it is the Son of Heaven, the Governor, or your Zheng family, it is only right to accept it when you see it.

I hope you are prepared, so that it will not be in vain for you and me to get acquainted. ”

Although Zheng Zhilong took the wrong path in history, he didn't do anything bad after all, Qin Haoming gave him a chance, hoping that he could be interesting.

"Thank you Qin Du for your advice."

Zheng Zhilong nodded slightly, not knowing what to think.

"Let's go, I'll take you guys for a massage!"

Everything went well, Qin Haoming shrugged, stood up and walked outside.

After resting for an afternoon, before dinner, Qin Haoming called Li Xiang and whispered in a low voice.

When Qin Haoming left the Gushan Officers' Guest House, it was already the time when the moon was shining and the stars were combing, and when he got into the soft and comfortable carriage, the carriage slowly started and drove towards the Governor's Palace.

Li Xiang was like Qin Haoming's shadow, appearing next to the carriage at the right time, entering the carriage familiarly, waiting for Qin Haoming's inquiry.

Looking at his serious ghost appearance, Qin Haoming shook his head helplessly, and asked casually, "How is the arrangement?" ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Everything is going well, just wait for Governor Qin to give an order!" ”

"Forget it, let's go with you, these eunuchs can be arrogant, let's go."

Under the moonlight, Qin Haoming smiled lightly, full of pride.

Fuzhou City, the official residence of the eunuch Li of the City Bo Division.

"Look, it's snowing!" A girl in an emerald dress covered her mouth with her hands, and only screamed in the middle of the night, summoning more people.

The goose feathers and snow fall from the sky, and the thin snow on the ground reflects the silver cover of the day and place.

The cold wind became stronger and stronger, like a knife cutting, and it blew so hard that people's bones hurt.

The red plums in the garden bloomed in an instant, and under the clear starlight of mercury flowing down like clouds, it was so red that it seemed to be burning.

There is still a little snow on the petals, crystal clear, reflecting the topaz-like stamens, ruby-like flowers, gorgeous to the extreme, but it makes people feel a little sad in their hearts.

The surroundings are quiet, the small copper incense burner on the incense table of fragrant nan wood is smoky, with the fragrance of Nanmu, such as the elegant orchid fragrance, fluttering at the end of the nose.

The cold moonlight poured in from the window lattice, and a layer of frost as thin as a veil seemed to be condensed on the ground.

Eunuch Li stood by the window, his anxious hands knocking back and forth on the lattice.

The silence of the night made him restless, and he slowly closed his sour eyelids, looked at the fallen leaves of the plane trees in the courtyard, and let out a long sigh.

Flowers and leaves are withered, as long as the flowers and trees can't get rid of this withering fate. And what about people?

Gathered the beard that was already a little gray on the temples, and the lines at the corners of the eyes were even more profound at this time.

Pushing the door and walking out of the study, the vermilion official robe flew hideously in the night sky, and the dark blue official boots screaked on the cold green bricks.

The icy night breeze passed through the hall, a few broken and scattered petals trembled slightly on the branches, and the humid air carried a certain sweet smell, and the beautiful almost weak petals gently hovered between the ground, like snowflakes falling in early winter.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, at the end of the winding corridor, a faint and dim light appeared in front of him, casting a faint halo on the path covered with dark green moss.

The gray-clothed old man with a bleak face and a layer of dense cold sweat on his forehead stood in front of him with a glass lamp in his hand.

It was Li Fu - the chief administrator of the Li Mansion.

On weekdays, he speaks and does things heavily and steadily, and he has never seen him as frightened and panicked as he is today in decades under Eunuch Li.

He has always done things in an orderly manner, and he has never had any stubble, and now looking at his disfigured mold, it must have happened to him.

Eunuch Li frowned, realizing something.

Trembling his hands slightly, he suddenly turned around and said sharply: "Let's go, go out and have a look!" Then, striding towards the front yard.

As soon as I entered the atrium, I faintly heard a commotion in the house, and the candles were as bright as day. The sudden light made him unable to adjust for a moment, and narrowed his wrinkled eyes slightly to soften the glare of the candle flame.

"The Governor's Mansion has surrounded the mansion with a large number of military men!"

Li Fu followed closely with the glass lamp, wiped the cold sweat on his head in a panic, and said breathlessly.

The servants and maids in the hall all looked at each other when they heard this, and they were all in a panic.
