The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"This matter requires ruthlessness and viciousness, and it is appropriate to be a person trusted by His Majesty, such as Gao Qiqian and Luo Yang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Du is too benevolent and honest, how can the style of a humble gentleman be responsible for the destruction of the family? ”

Qin Haoming's eyes were beating with a hint of happiness, if this matter could be done, using the national thunderbolt method to eliminate the Jin merchants dominated by the Fan family from top to bottom was faster and faster than his knife in the back.

Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, he is also secretly slandering others.

"If Your Majesty takes advantage of the fact that they have not yet transferred their property, and they are quick and ruthless, it should be easy to think of a few million cash.

If they can realize their inheritance, there will be at least ten million taels of silver, so why should they collect three salaries from the poor who have no more food in the soil?

What's more, the food and other strategic materials that Wechen vouched for their hoarding, even you, the Lord of the Great Ming, would be dumbfounded and unexpected.

It's just that the person in charge of this still needs to have clean hands and feet. ”

Qin Haoming looked at Chongzhen, whose breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and the pleasure in his heart became more and more intense.

A group of businessmen who made their fortune by selling the Han people and the blood of their fellow clansmen, how could they let them go?

Having said that, Chongzhen had fully understood everything Qin Haoming wanted to express.

As for who to recommend, it no longer makes sense, he just wondered why Qin Haoming was so sure and could gain so much?

Could it be that these merchant families can still be rich and rival the country?

If this is really the case, as he said, he was born in Jiangnan and grew up in Jiangnan, how did he know about the northern merchant Jia Mixin?

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, and the whole world knows about it, I'm afraid that it will be blinded to Your Majesty.

In fact, whether it is the north or the south of the Yangtze River, or the land of Gyeonggi, there are tens of millions of people in the family who are like the carp crossing the river, not to mention the Fan family, the Wang family, and the Liang family, which are the leading people in the north across several provinces?

Of course, if you talk about who is the richest in the whole Ming Dynasty, as far as Weichen knows, it should be the Zheng family in Fujian.

The reason why the Fan family is known as the leader of the northern land is because in recent years, with the rise of Jiannu, the trade volume has increased. But if it is compared with the Zheng family in Nan'an, it is a small thing.

It's a pity that they don't have Daming in their hearts, otherwise, Daming may have the worry of lack of food, but there is no shortage of salary? ”

Facing Chongzhen's puzzled gaze, Qin Haoming's words were categorical and certain.

Without the help of the Ming court, it would have been very difficult for Qin Haoming to compete with the Zheng family at sea. But the deep blue sea is the way out to solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty.

It's rare to have such a good opportunity today, if you can't make good use of it, it's really a shame to be a traverser.

Shock, just shock!

A thousand tastes came to his heart, Chongzhen didn't say a word, and looked at Qin Haoming, who was there in a daze, for more than ten seconds, and then turned his gaze to Lu Xiangsheng.

As the head of a nation, he didn't know anything about it. In an instant, the heart was filled with sorrow, then anger, and finally shock!

When Weichen was in the northwest of this matter, he also heard Xiong Wencan and Kumamoto soldiers talk about a few words: During the Jiajing period, the activities against the Japanese in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang intensified, openly resisting the sea ban, and were almost out of control.

Yan Kou and Shang are the same people, the general rule of the city is to turn into business, and the city ban is to turn business into Kou.

Therefore, in the first year of Longqing, at the request of Tu Zemin, the governor of Fujian, the Ming Dynasty partially opened the sea ban in Haichengyue Port in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and allowed private trade at sea.

At that time, there were more than 100 merchant ships sailing from Yuegang, no less than 60 or 70, and the columns were gathered, both high and deep.

I heard that a sea ship can range from a few hundred thousand taels of silver to tens of millions of taels, and it is also equipped with artillery and other sharp weapons.

In this way, it is enough to see the wealth of maritime merchants. Wei Chen doesn't know too much about the specific situation, and His Majesty may be able to summon Kumamoto soldiers for consultation. ”

Lu Xiangsheng told Chongzhen what he knew.

"Fortunately, there are two Aiqing to help, eat first, and chat while eating."

Lu Xiangsheng has been in the north for a long time, and he can know that these are already diligent in state affairs, and it is inconvenient to be demanding.

Chongzhen stroked his forehead with his hand, and said in a somewhat tired tone.

Qin Haoming wanted to speak and stopped, Chongzhen was indeed diligent, they had been chatting for three hours, and it would continue at night to see the situation.

"It's okay, get used to it."

Chongzhen waved his hand, signaling that Qin Haoming didn't need to say much, and took the lead in walking to the outer hall.

Qin Haoming and Lu Xiangsheng glanced at each other, but they followed suit.

In fact, for Qin Haoming, he also wanted to take this opportunity to bring more private goods, after all, there were too few days to face the saint, and there were too many things to solve.

"Qin Aiqing, don't worry, slow down, don't choke, pour wine."

Chongzhen had just tasted a few bites of rice, and when he saw that Qin Haoming had already lost three bowls of rice, he said with a smile.

"Let Your Majesty laugh, I'm really hungry."

Qin Haoming scratched his head, laughed twice, and was a little embarrassed to put down the small bowl of gold silk that was not much bigger than a wine glass.

"Aiqing told me about the specific situation of the Zheng family, so that I can also see the demeanor of the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty."

Chongzhen raised his wine glass and touched his lips gesturefully, and said with a smile to Qin Haoming, who was in a hurry to drink it all.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Haoming put down his wine glass, his face immediately became very serious, and he said in a very heavy tone:

"Your Majesty, the Zheng family must be guarded!

As far as Wei Chen knows, Zheng Zhilong is a native of Nan'an, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian, and initially followed his maternal uncle Huang Cheng to engage in business with the Japanese pirates.

But this person has always wanted to accept Zhao'an, and Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, also wants to use his power to rectify the southeast coast, so the two sides reached a compromise.

In this way, on the one hand, he has a legal identity and can preserve his strength.

On the other hand, under the banner of the Ming court, it can eliminate the power of other pirates, which clears the way for him to dominate the southeast coast.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong built a city in Anping Town, thirty miles south of Quanzhou City, and collected taxes.

All maritime merchants are not allowed to order the flag of Zheng's family, and they cannot come and go, and each ship earns 3,000 gold, and the annual income is 10 million, replacing the monopoly of overseas trade by the Ming government.

As far as Weichen learned, there are currently more than 1,000 ships of the Zheng family. ”

"Tear!"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, a thousand ships, what is the concept, there are not so many ships in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Bang -

Chongzhen's face sank like water, panting heavily, slamming the wine glass fiercely, and roaring loudly, "All the officials in Fujian should be killed, why don't you know such important information?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's really not entirely to blame the Fujian officials for this matter.

Sea vessels are highly mobile, and it often takes a year and a half or even years to go to sea, and even Zhengjia Wharf has more than one place, how can Fujian officials find out? ”

Qin Haoming smiled bitterly, if he wasn't a traverser, how could he know the details?

"Then how did Qin Aiqing know so clearly?"

Chongzhen's sharp eyes stared at Qin Haoming, and he didn't move for a moment.
