Bee Suga Xiaoliu's true and false theories, and they did not hide the slightest hint of their attempt to get involved in Manila City, and there was only one core point, requiring Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er to completely obey his command.

Saying goodbye to Bee Suga Xiaoliu, Zhang Gouer was about to send Zhu Hui out of the barracks, but was stopped by the barracks' guard Gonzalez, Zhu Hui realized that if there was no order from General Fernando, no one would want to take half a step out of this barracks, whether it was Mesuka Xiaoliu or Zhang Gou'er.

The Manila authorities are still very strict against the Japanese, just now I saw that Wasuka Koroku is so confident, could it be that Lin Feng has really left Luzon Island and joined the Muslim tribes of the West Malay Peninsula, and is about to be sent by the Ottoman Emperor to conquer the Ming Dynasty?

With such a question, Zhu Hui returned to the Governor's Mansion in the Royal City of Manila, and found that Ma Zhishan and the others were not there, and only after inquiring did he know that they accompanied Shen Qi to the market in Manila to exchange silver ingots, and Zhu Hui didn't bother to care about these things, so he went to General Fernando alone.

General Fernando, accompanied by an interpreter and an adjutant, met with Zhu Hui in his official residence, briefly inquired about the arrival of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force in the barracks, and was relieved to learn that they were very obedient and had not had any conflicts with the Japanese.

Zhu Hui finished reporting on the situation of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Force, and by the way, he talked about his impression of the Japanese Expeditionary Force's general, Wasuka Masakatsu, first praised Masakatsu's samurai demeanor, and then, in his capacity as the intelligence officer of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard stationed overseas, talked about the background of Wasuka Masakatsu and his lord Yu Shiba Hideyoshi, their status in Japan, and their relationship with Lin Feng.

General Fernando listened to Zhu Hui's introduction, and did not seem to be touched, nor did he make any evaluation of Beesuka Koroku, let alone mention the military situation about the imminent invasion of the Muslim army, but told Zhu Hui that in the future, without his order, Zhu Hui should not contact the barracks again.

From General Fernando's reserved expression, Zhu Hui seemed to see that he didn't trust anyone, and he had a grasp of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and couldn't help but worry about Zhang Gou'er's fate.

General Fernando also seemed to see Zhu Hui's doubts, and in order to comfort Zhu Hui, before parting, he told him that he had heard that the "personal representative" of the governor of Fujian was worried about the huge amount of silver real coins paid to him by Felipe, and asked Zhu Hui to go back and tell Shen Qi that there was no need to go back to the market to find a way, and he could help solve this matter, which surprised Zhu Hui.

Zhu Hui thanked Fernando, left the general's residence, and returned to the Governor's Mansion Guild Hall, it was almost dark, and when he was having dinner in the Guild Hall, Li Dan accompanied Shen Qi and Ma Zhishan and others back.

It can be seen that Shen Qi and the others all look dejected, Zhu Hui knew that their exchange of silver ingots was not going well, and when he asked, he knew that even if all the silver ingots circulating in the entire Manila market were collected, it would only be more than 200,000 taels, and you could not take them all, if you did this, it would obviously raise the exchange ratio of silver ingots, which was higher than the fire consumption generated by transporting the silver coins back to be melted.

If you really want to do business between Nanjing, Yuegang, Manila and Acapulco in the New World, a cycle of buying and selling, at least two years, in these four places need to turn over about 500,000 taels of silver, in Manila and Acapulco can be used real silver coins, but in Nanjing and Yuegang can only use silver ingots, if there is no solution, the profits generated by trade will be consumed by fire, which must also consider the risks brought by maritime trade.

At this moment, Shen Qi had a feeling of being deceived, and he regretted believing Felipe very much, so he came up with an idea, suffered this dumb loss, and hurried home to forget it.

Ma Zhishan and the others are still on fire, ready to follow Elder Yuekong and Shen Qi in the future, cross the ocean to the new world, open up a new world, and create a wonderful second half of their lives.

After eating, everyone gathered in Shen Qi's guest room to discuss these problems together.

Fifteen strong men gave Shen Qi ideas one after another, all of them were pirates, and they knew that in Taiwan, Macao, Penghu Island and Taiwu Mountain in Fujian, there were people who specialized in trading silver coins for silver ingots, and they could even exchange them one-to-one.

As a businessman, Shen Qi obviously didn't want to deal with those private merchants and pirates, so he refused their kindness one by one, and seemed to have made up his mind, and the deal ended here.

Ma Zhishan looked at these fifteen young subordinates, and secretly worried, if Shen Qi didn't use them in the future, these people might sneak out and join Lin Feng in a while, and continue to do the kind of murderous and oversold business before.

Zhu Hui also saw a trace of worry in the eyes of the elderly Ma Zhishan, but he still calmed down and did not speak.

The more frustrated Shen Qi was, the more anxious the fifteen strong men became, and after a while, the dozen or so people quarreled, but the core goal was to help Shen Qi find a way, if Shen Qi was really unwilling to do this business, they even wanted to take this business down, but the question was how could they have the capital?

Someone suddenly put forward and said: Lin Feng, the big boss, is rich, and it is said that Lin Feng has at least more than 2 million taels of silver hidden on an isolated island off the coast of the Hirado Domain of Japan, anyway, Lin Feng can't get along in Luzon now, if he can take out those capital to do business well, it will be a good way out.

Ma Zhishan had been listening silently, and at this time he couldn't help it, and hurriedly and seriously advised his subordinates to stop quickly, and no one should have the idea of contacting Lin Feng!

Zhu Hui saw that Ma Zhishan was very serious and understood his move, but at this time, Zhu Hui wanted to see if any of the fifteen strong men could really contact Lin Feng, so he glanced at Ma Zhishan and signaled him to leave it alone.

Ma Zhishan misunderstood what Zhu Hui meant, thinking that Zhu Hui was angry at these people's nonsense, and immediately became angry, came up and gave Chen Zhi, who was closest to him, a big mouth, and scared Chen Zhi so much that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"A group of unscrupulous things, still thieves are still alive!" Ma Zhishan scolded fiercely.

These people, led by Chen Zhi, were all silent, and followed Chen Zhi to Ma Zhishan one by one.

At this time, Zhu Hui said: "Lin Feng hid silver in the sea off the Herado Domain, and I also know that it is also our established strategy to subdue Lin Feng and let him escort the expedition of Elder Moon Sky in the future, but we all know now that Lin Feng has fled from Luzon Island after the defeat, and it is said that Lin Dao, the old Australian lord of Siam, failed to do so, converted to Islam, and is now hiding in a Muslim tribe in the West Malay Peninsula. ”

Chen Zhi and the others listened, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

Seeing that they all didn't believe that Lin Feng had left Luzon Island, Ma Zhishan couldn't figure out what Zhu Hui wanted to do, so he asked angrily at the fifteen strong men: "Tell me, which of you still has a connection with Lin Feng?" ”

After this sentence was asked, everyone turned their eyes to a person named Li Ruiqi, and Li Ruiqi immediately said in fear: "I, I can swear to the sky, I have never listened to the words of Cai De, the lord of Jiuao, these days, I have been busy with everyone every day, and I have never thought of looking for Lin Feng." ”

Zhu Hui squatted in front of Li Ruiqi and asked softly, "Please don't be nervous, if you can contact Lin Feng now, it will be a good thing for all of us, understand?" ”

Li Ruiqima looked frightened, shook his head like a wave drum, and replied in a low voice: "I have never contacted Lin Feng in private!" ”

"No one said that you contacted Lin Feng privately." Zhu Hui said, stood up, and preached to all of them: "Let's all get up, now let's have a good discussion, if anyone has a way to contact Lin Feng, it will be a great achievement!" ”

Ma Zhishan asked cautiously: "Mr. Zhu, Lao Yu and Li Chenghuai finally appeased these people around them, and now everyone hopes to take the right path, why do you still want to contact Lin Feng?" ”

Zhu Hui smiled slightly and replied, "Recently, Lin Feng has hidden countless gold and silver treasures on the isolated island off the coast of the Hirado Domain, and now there are two forces that are about to make a move, if Lin Feng doesn't take it back, it will be too late!" In the long run, Elder Moon Sky will take many people across the ocean and venture to the New World, to be honest, we can't count on the government, and the Western Navy is even more unreliable, and the only one who has the ability to serve as the commander of this expedition team may be His Excellency Lin Feng. ”

"Lin Feng and the Japanese are secretly colluding, and they are never trustworthy!" Ma Zhishan said loudly, and some of the fifteen strong men echoed in a low voice.

As the second owner of Lin Feng, no one knows Lin Feng better than him. In the past, as a member of the Lin Feng Group, everything was for Lin Feng's sake, since returning to the mainland, he has experienced Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er's care and help for them, and Fujian Governor Pang Shangpeng has been lenient to them, forgave their previous sins, and let them be human beings again, plus after a turmoil on the Jade Pillow Continent, they worshiped Elder Moon Sky and Xuande Zhenren as teachers, and have the profession of following Shen Qi to do legitimate business overseas in the future, and even go to the New World to expand their territory in the future, and maybe they can also mix the identity of a lord. Live the second half of your life to the fullest......

Feeling Ma Zhishan's mood of abandoning evil and following good, Zhu Hui suddenly felt that maybe not only Li Ruiqi could contact Lin Feng because of Cai De's hint, but Ma Zhishan, as the owner of the second Macao, might have a way to contact Lin Feng, so he decided to stop this topic for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hui suddenly said: "Brother Shen, Mr. Ma, you don't have to be discouraged, there is a way to solve the matter of exchanging silver coins for silver ingots." ”

The people present were stunned when they heard Zhu Hui's words, Ma Zhishan and the others even guessed in their hearts, maybe they were counting on Lin Feng to solve this problem, but they didn't speak, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhu Hui.

Zhu Hui carefully looked at each of them and felt that they still hoped to continue this business.

After being silent for a moment, Shen Qi couldn't help it, and said: "Master Zhu, this transaction is a loss, I have already admitted it, please don't take any more risks." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Qi looked at Ma Zhishan and the fifteen strong men again, and then said: "But please rest assured, follow me Shen to do business, and if you lose, you will lose me, and I will not lose a penny of silver." ”

At this time, some people in the crowd scolded Felipe and were ready to help Shen Qi settle accounts with Felipe, and some people said that even if Shen Qi didn't give them a penny, they would work for Shen Qi in the future, and at the same time, they all expressed their determination that even if they starved to death in the future, they would not go to pirates again......

At this time, Zhu Hui really saw everyone's determination to change their ways, and when they quieted down, he spoke seriously: "It is very rare for everyone to work together to help Brother Shen, we must continue this business, as for the problem that Mr. Felipe gave us, General Fernando, the commander of the Manila authorities, can help us solve it." ”

Everyone was stunned at first, as a "private business pirate" who has been active in the coast of Daming for many years, Ma Zhishan immediately realized and talked about the origin......

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty has always refused to trade directly with Westerners, even if it was the five years of the Longqing Dynasty, after the opening of the sea ban, only 88 merchant ships were allowed to quote tickets from the city ship division every year, and trade in Zhangzhou Yuegang, Fujian, Guangdong and Macao, although the number of citations increased to more than 120 later, but Westerners wanted to get a direct ticket to Yuegang to do business, it can be said that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

This is also the reason why Guo Yi was able to regain the trust of Mark and Louise, who were suspicious, after sending the two boat guides that Pang Shangpeng sent to the Elder of the Moon Sky to the Manila authorities, and he was able to rescue Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi immediately.

Although the trade between Westerners and the Ming government is not smooth, but these Westerners are not idle, under the protection of the Spanish Navy, groups of Western merchants have secretly done a lot of business with the private merchants along the Ming coast, of course, the private merchants along the Ming Dynasty are silver ingots, the Western private traders are trading Real silver coins, these private traders are profitable, after the transaction is completed, the Spanish Navy must have got a lot of benefits, therefore, the silver ingots in the hands of General Fernando are definitely not a small amount!

After figuring out the ins and outs of these things, although General Fernando promised to exchange Shen Qi for silver ingots, he didn't know what kind of conditions he would propose, and everyone continued to discuss.

Some people analyze that General Fernando wants to collect protection money in the future, others think that these Qiu Ba want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and some people even speculate that the Manila military does not want to see Felipe get rich alone, and wants to stick a lever in it......

In any case, with this opportunity provided by General Fernando, it can be regarded as solving a lot of problems at hand.

The next day, Zhu Hui took Shen Qi and Ma Zhishan, accompanied by Li Dan, to General Fernando's official residence, where Fernando warmly received them and treated Shen Qi, the governor's "personal representative", with great courtesy.

After the greetings, General Fernando told Shen Qi bluntly that as a devout Christian and a disciple of Archbishop Perez, he had the obligation to help Shen Qi, and the military was fully capable of completing the exchange of one million taels of silver coins, and there was no need to add a little more fire cost, but considering that Shen Qi would continue to use silver coins in Manila in the future, Shen Qi was asked to carefully calculate how much he needed to exchange.

Shen Qi didn't expect such benefits after being baptized, nor did he expect General Fernando to be so generous, so he thanked him and settled the account with Li Dan.

At this time, General Fernando asked the servants at home to help take care of Shen Qi and Li Dan, and sent an adjutant and a translator to open a secret room outside, so he walked in with Zhu Hui and Ma Zhishan.

The translator closed the door of the secret room, General Fernando was already sitting on the high chair, nodded lightly to Zhu Hui, motioned for him to sit down, and Ma Zhishan was also about to sit down, at this time, the adjutant stepped forward and grabbed the little old man and pushed him to the ground.

Zhu Hui was taken aback, hurriedly got up and went to pull the adjutant, the translator was behind Zhu Hui, and asked loudly: "As the envoy of the Ming Jinyi Guard Yamen, are you in a group with pirates?" ”

At this time, General Fernando stood up, kicked Ma Zhishan with his foot, and after a babble in his mouth, the translator said:

"Your Excellency Zhu Hui, about this person, General Fernando knows, he is a pirate in Hawksbill Harbor, a senior commander in the Lin Feng Group, Your Excellency is the accompanying officer of the personal representative of the governor of Fujian, General Fernando has complete trust in you, but General Fernando does not understand very much, why this pirate leader is with you, please explain now!"
