Chapter 136: The Ming Dynasty
The construction of construction in Hong Kong is getting bigger and bigger, and the materials needed are also coming more and more, which must have attracted the attention of a group of people, and it is said that there is nothing to attract the attention of local officials in Liangguang, but it is said that the imperial court has asked Shen Youlong if he has borrowed from the state to live in Xin'an County.
This matter is not big, it is not small, at this time, the imperial court is powerless to take care of Jiangnan, as long as there is no rebellion there, social stability can collect food, they will not care too much, even the road guidance system that has been implemented has been described as fictitious, not to mention that it is just a state to borrow residence.

Although this matter is not big or small, since the cabinet has asked questions, it always needs to give an answer, and I don't know how to poke out the matter of Australians living in Hong Kong.
Xin'an County Order, the Governor of Liangguang and Guangxi attached great importance to this matter, and after discussing it overnight, they made up a seemingly very reasonable lie to report, but it probably means that these Fanbangs who borrowed Xin'an are actually the descendants of Yan and Huang with us, but they were exiled overseas during the pre-Qin period.
Speaking of the pre-Qin period, there are countless legends, especially the legend that Qin Shi Huang sent people to the sea to find the elixir of life has been handed down.
If there is a good deed, they asked, is it the remnant who sent out the sea to search for immortal medicine?
Shen Youlong's recital is very clear that it is that group of people, these people have been overseas for thousands of years, have established their own country, and now they are coming back mainly to pay tribute.
In order to cover up his mistakes, Shen Youlong said that the Australians who came to do business were tribute, which was obviously a little different, and the handling of tribute and business was different.
But there have been many years since Fanbang came to pay tribute, but now the imperial treasury is tight, these people let them stay there, don't come, you have to pay money when you come to the imperial court.
Which of the surrounding small countries is not in the name of tribute to get benefits, if it is usually coming, it will come, after all, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty itself is poor, give you a reward, you have to tighten your belt, don't give it to you, if this is publicized, it will lose the face of the Celestial Empire, so the best way is to let them stay there.
Although the problem is not big, Shen Youlong also spent a lot of money to take care of it, so that some ministers in the DPRK and China would not stare at this little thing.
"That is to say, this money is ours, I calculate, it will cost about 150,000 taels of silver, this old Shen is generous enough, so much money is sprinkled outside, is it really just to deal with this matter, there is no corruption, I don't believe it." Yang Yuzhou is good at careful calculation, and it hurts to look at a large list of various gifts.
"Do you believe in Lao Shen's character, Lao Shen knows that he has to work hard with you, and reading is the most important thing."
Zhou Yang said with a joking smile, to be honest, he doesn't know what the character of the ancient scholar is, and he doesn't necessarily have a lot of nobility, just take the Mr. who is too cold to say that the character is not good.
"We are equivalent to taking the money to buy peace, Lao Shen will not care what we do if he takes the money, in fact, it is not bad, but they will return the money in the future, you see."
When it comes to shrewdness, Zhou Yang is not inferior to Yang Yuzhou at all, two shrewd people are together, and it is really a bit difficult for the Ming people to calculate them.
It's just that they are very curious, who poked out the situation here, who is this person, I'm afraid that Zhou Billy needs to come out in person.
Zhou Billy has been active frequently in Liangguang as an intelligence officer, in order to facilitate the concealment of the Ming people, his dress is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, after Lao Shen reported the matter, he took over the investigation to see who was behind the scenes.
Through investigation, he also really found some clues, and these clues finally pointed to the Zheng family.
Zheng Zhilong reported the matter to the cabinet and instructed a local gentry in Liangguang to bring the matter to the cabinet through a relative who was an official in Beijing.
After peeling back the cocoon, it was not in vain, and I knew who did this.
The old Zheng family said that they were in harmony with Australia on the surface, but secretly they couldn't tell how much they hated the Australians, not to mention that they were defeated by the Australians for the first time, and Yan Jianye was also protected by the Australians, which has greatly affected their prestige.
The Australians are off to a bad start, if anyone goes against the Zheng family in the future and goes to the Australians to seek refuge, then the Zheng family will really be finished, so they want to come out in addition to such a way to give the Australians some eye medicine.
It's just that since Shen Youlong can serve as the governor of Liangguang, he naturally has a lot of connections in the court, not to mention anything else, it is very rare for an official who has been released for a long time to know the affairs of the court and the central government at any time.
Unexpectedly, after Shen Youlong went through some dots, this matter was over, and it was also the wrong time for Lao Zheng's choice, now the center of gravity of the imperial court is on the north and northwest, and the continuous siege of the rebel army has made Chongzhen very worried.
At this time, where is the time to pay attention to those small things in Fanbang, it is natural to ask and hand it over to the local officials to deal with.
Zheng Zhilong didn't expect it to be so hasty, and it seemed that the imperial court didn't seem to be asking, which was embarrassing, he spent a lot of money to get this thing out, once it didn't work, it wasn't in vain that so much money was spent.
After Zhou proportions understood the situation clearly, he told Zhou Yang and Yang Yuzhou about the original matter, so that the two of them could decide how to deal with it.
In fact, if you want to take revenge on the Zheng family, Australia does not have this strength at this time, so it is best if this thing does not happen.
"Since the old Zheng family has made us lose 150,000 taels, we can't rest and raise the price of the goods supplied to him a little, and we still have to let him pay this money."
Yang Yuzhou was very angry after hearing Zhou Yang's report and decided to raise the export price of goods.
The price increase can indeed earn the money back, but Zheng Zhilong can't be so stupid and not adjust the price, so this is not a good way, so he can only wait until the navy has the strength to coerce and lure the money back from this guy.
"Bear with me now, this matter is over, I think nothing happened, after all, the old Zheng family is also our partner." Zhou Yang still held his breath and didn't say anything like adjusting the price, otherwise if he was elected governor, then Xu Renguo would have to reconsider, after all, a person who can't control his emotions is very dangerous to serve as the supreme governor of a local administration.
