Chapter 397: Take Money to Buy Your Life
When Fan Yongdou, who had seven Jiannu heads around his neck, was brought by Liu Guozheng, Huang Sheng almost vomited all the food in his stomach. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of February, Fan Yongdou had a big rosary on his chest like a sand monk, although the weather was not too hot for seven or eight days, and those heads were already stinking, Huang Sheng glared at Liu Guozheng, this kid immediately realized that he was joking, and he took Fan Yongdou out again.
It didn't take long for Fan Yongdou, who had been washed clean, to be brought in again, this kid's upper and lower teeth were chattering, maybe Liu Guozheng and they directly used well water to take a bath for him.
Fan Yongdou knelt on the ground and kowtowed, snorting and tearing: "Lord Huang spares his life!" The grass people know it's wrong! ”
Huang Dongshan unhurriedly took out a stack of confessions and threw them in front of Fan Yongdou, shouting and scolding: "Spare your life? How to spare the life of you, a black-hearted profiteer. Wait for the Nine Clans! ”
Fan Yongdou didn't know that he was innocent of his death, and it was very possible for the Jiu clan to be punished, and now that he was stolen by Lord Huang, there was no denial, and there was only one way to go by kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Lord Huang, there are old and young villains, you raise your noble hand and let the villain go, and the villain is willing to give away the family property." Scrooge was finally willing to spend money to buy his life in order to save his life.
Huang Sheng knew that if he didn't solve the problem fundamentally, after killing Fan Yongdou, Li Yongdou and Wang Yongdou would make a shining debut, and it would be useless to do such a thing for a while, and the collected evidence would be played to the court, and the temperament of the little emperor Chongzhen would be enough to kill the Fan family.
But driven by huge profits, there will be people who sell the country to make profits, Huang Sheng is not ready to ask for the life of this profit-hungry Jin merchant, but is ready to squeeze the black money he earns.
In the end, Fan Yongdou's henchman Ding Fan Jinyin returned to Zhangjiakou with his own army by Liu Guozheng, and soon the Fan family began to sell the shops and acres under his name, and Fan Yongdou returned home a month later, without any major changes, except that the property of two million taels of silver was missing from his name.
Two million taels of silver in hand, in time, it will be dozens of new-style main battle ships, Fan Yongdou, just a dog, what is the point of killing him just for a while? The Huang family wants to be affordable.
Moreover, his confession and witness testimony are in the hands of the Huang family, and if he continues to trade with Jiannu, he will blame the Huang family for killing him.
Fan Yongdou knew that the evidence that Lord Huang had could completely make him behead all over the house, and it was very likely that the Jiu clan would be punished, and the family property, field property, and shop would naturally be confiscated by the imperial court.
Who knew that Lord Huang agreed to let him pay silver to buy his life, and offered a price of two million taels of silver to send him over, and let the Fan family continue to do business in Zhangjiakou.
Huang Sheng's offer was on the spectrum, he knew that the Fan family had the ability to pay, but he didn't know that two million taels was already more than sixty percent of the Fan family's wealth.
Fan Yongdou's spirit has been defeated, he seized a glimmer of life at this time, of course he will do his best, he chooses to believe Lord Huang, because he knows that the benefits of the court have nothing to do with Lord Huang, and now the silver that Lord Huang wants is actually not owned by the Fan family, it should be the income confiscated by the imperial court.
The traitorous side of businessman Fan Yongdou is reflected, he began to defeat the abacus to comfort himself, after he paid the two million taels that were originally the imperial court, the Fan family will leave hundreds of thousands of taels of capital, and he has a mature business route in hand, and he will accumulate too much wealth in the future, and he will not be able to run Liaodong and Mobei There are also a lot of profits.
This time, not only Fan Yongdou was punished, but also those coerced servants who did not hesitate to risk their lives to run Liaodong for the sake of silver.
The four or five thousand handlebar types and about 1,000 Fan family members and men who were arrested by the Ming army at the same time were carefully screened by Huang Dongshan and the musketeers, and 500 people were selected to be taken to Huangjiawan Island to train and push wheelbarrows, and the rest were all sentenced to five to ten years of re-education through labor, and they were all sent to "Huaxia Island" to work as coolies.
There was a lot of labor needed to level the mountains, carry boulders, build seawalls and roads, and the addition of five or six thousand strong men would speed up the progress of the project too much.
If they were laborers recruited by the Huang family, their work remuneration in the past few years would not be less than 800,000 taels of silver.
While making these people pay for their greed, why not let the Huang family get thousands of free labor?
Cutting down thirteen Jiannu Zhenghuang Banner Bayala can not be wasted, plus when creating control areas in the steppe, several times to kill the small Mongolian tribes who tried to fight against the Ming army and won the sixty-fifth level, so the results are already good.
The envoys of the Korean Xinhai Jun, Guo Xiaolian and Wang Ruhai, went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and not only paid tribute to many Korean specialties, but also presented the head of the Beiyu 65, the head of the Dongnu Zhenghuang Banner Baya Lama 13.
Emperor Chongzhen was really happy, and immediately summoned two envoys to ask how to get these gains?
Of course, the Emperor Hui couldn't tell the truth, and the Korean envoy replied to the Great Tomorrow: These heads were taken by Shinhaejun to take the initiative to attack the Mongol and Houjin coalition forces that invaded Korea by landing from Yongchuan, and after a bitter battle, Shinhaejun lost more than 1,000 men and horses to get these gains.
There was no one in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who did not believe that the people and horses of Xinhai Jun had suffered heavy casualties, and it was inevitable that after killing the thirteenth level, the fierce battle of Jin Zheng Huangqi Bayala was inevitable.
Chongzhen sighed and praised Xinhaijun for his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and was a model for all vassal kings, and when he was about to reward Xinhaijun generously, the two Korean envoys made a small reluctant request.
Guo Xiaolian and Wang Ruhai asked the Ming Emperor to grant Xin Haijun permission to rent a desert island east of the Pearl River Estuary in Xin'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture, for 20 years, because Xin Haijun's merchant ships often ran to Luzon and Dayue needed their own supply places in the south.
After asking several ministers, Emperor Chongzhen learned that the circumference of the desert island that Xinhai Jun was going to rent was only sixty or seventy miles, and it was about a hundred miles away from Macao.
He consulted the cabinet and learned that Huang Sheng was going to take over the small island to run Gao Di and Wang Zhichen, and they played His Majesty, which already had a precedent, and it was completely possible to refer to the procedures for franc to rent Macau.
Macau is not a Portuguese colony of the Ming Dynasty at all, they have been paying land rent, accepted the management of the Ming Dynasty and paying taxes, although only a few hundred taels of silver a year is enough to prove the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty.
In the year of Jiajing, the Portuguese wanted to gain a foothold close to the Ming Dynasty by force, and they first looked at Zhoushan Island, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty was not comparable to the countries of South America and North America.
The Portuguese were defeated by the Daming sailors, and in the end they played scoundrels and went to Macao Island to rely on it, saying that they would borrow a place to dry their sails.
This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, no harmony, no tribute, no ministers, no alliance under the city, the emperor is arrested and refuses to compromise. But the most unsightly thing is that people pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic.
The Portuguese succeeded, and Emperor Jiajing, who had already gone mad in cultivating the Tao and alchemy, opened up and allowed them to live in Macao temporarily. is also because this place in Macau is extremely remote, and it is a dispensable existence in Daming that birds do not.
After all, there are too many islands in the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, and these islands are not of much use to the Ming Dynasty at all, and the people are not willing to live and live, and the imperial court will spend too much money and food if they send troops to garrison.
Seeing that the cabinet unanimously agreed, Emperor Chongzhen immediately granted the invitation of Shinhaejun of Joseon.
Guo Xiaolian and Wang Ruhai asked the Ming Emperor to give this island a name, and told Chongzhen about a great battle that broke out in Yashan, a place more than 200 miles west of the island, and the national war of Mengyuan to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty - the Battle of Yashan.
