When the empire began to implement private ownership, he got more benefits, eating slave wages and selling chemical waste was just a small head, selling the immigration quota in his hand at a high price, and using the power in his hands to help these people who paid for it to immigrate smoothly as slaves who had completed their service, which became a cash cow for him. Each slave quota can be sold for more than a dozen gold coins, and this price is getting higher and higher, and it is easy to earn hundreds of gold coins every year.

Aside from money, this rich man's lifestyle is simply too cool. The little beauty next to her was just fifteen years old, she was favored by herself, and she was selected from the slaves to become a ban, and she was not alone, in the outer house of Brunei Port, her sixteen-year-old sister was already pregnant, and she would be able to give herself another son in less than half a year. And all of this was done voluntarily, including the two Persian dancers who had been bought from the maritime merchants. In front of them, they are slaves, they have to do whatever they are asked to do, not only their future is in their own hands, but even their lives are held in the palm of their hands. The death of one or two slave sailors and porters on the sea is not a matter at all, you just need to go back and fill in a simple process, and no one will bother.

Weng Xiaoyi likes this kind of life, and prefers this kind of spiritual enjoyment, this kind of pleasure of taking and controlling all others. Compared with other officials of the empire, he, the small manager of the group company, is simply not worth mentioning, but in the scrapyard on the south bank of the Yinhe Mouth that idlers can't approach, he is the Emperor of the Earth, and he is the Emperor!

"It's done, don't jump, let's go prepare the bath water......" Some parts of the body were rubbed back and forth by a pair of small hands, and Weng Xiaoyi couldn't help it a little. Don't look at the girl next to me who is only fifteen years old, but she is naturally charming, not to mention serving a man. At this time, she had stepped on her legs, devouring the root of life, and at the same time completely displayed that ecstasy, enjoyment and slightly painful expression in front of her eyes. Men, who doesn't like this sense of conquest, what kind of dance do you watch at this time?

"Go and bring the official's ginseng soup......" The two dancers were a little disappointed, they had no skills, but they lost to a little girl in the battle for men, and they often lose. What makes the two of them even more depressed is that this little girl will also be a fox and a tiger, and every time she is favored, she will order herself to do this and that, and she can't help but do it.

As agreed, No. 731 did not sail to an isolated island near Mindoro, but went slightly westward and burrowed into a small island in the eastern part of the Palawan Islands on the afternoon of the third day. The islands here are dense, the sea conditions are very complicated, and it is not on any shipping routes, and there are basically no ships coming, and there are no routes. In previous years, Weng Xiaoyi and the two Song merchants had traded near the port of Brunei, but this time he also carried a few barrels of gasoline, paraffin, Bordeaux liquid, and a disused fractionation unit on board.

These things are too sensitive, there are also Royal Navy warships cruising near the port of Brunei, and there are also people from the Ministry of Supervision in the port, so for the sake of insurance, the place of delivery was chosen here, which is the place where he first made a deal with maritime merchants. At that time, he was not so bold, just exchanged a shipload of chemical waste and two immigration quotas for a large mansion in Brunei Port, and he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep for several days.

I'm sinning! Weng Xiaoyi knows better than anyone else, but he can't stop, he can't bear this kind of life, and he can't bear the thousands of gold coins stored in the Straits Bank under a pseudonym. Of course, he didn't want to do it forever, he also understood the truth that he would inevitably get his shoes wet when he walked by the river, and the agents of the Imperial Law and Supervision Department had always been a sharp sword hanging over his head.

He's going to do the last one, the biggest one! After selling the contraband on board, he was paid a good sum, and then he resigned and, like many of the inhabitants of the Empire, went out to become a maritime merchant. In fact, even if he doesn't do anything, his savings can be enough for his wife and children for a lifetime, and he can continue to spend time outside and enjoy glory and wealth under the pretext of going out to do business.

"Little Wu, why haven't they come yet?" Seeing that the sun was about to fall into the sea, but the merchant ship was still nowhere to be seen, Weng Xiaoyi muttered a little in his heart.

"Uncle, where is there a time on the sea that is too accurate, half a day in the morning and half a day in the evening are common, don't worry, no ship will come here." The ship's navigator was his nephew, who had always been loyal and a major participant in these matters.

"It's better to be careful, once the contents of our ship are revealed, it will be a sin to kill the head. Let the waste bring it all up, and if you notice another boat approaching, push it out into the sea. Weng Xiaoyi is still not at ease, don't look at him greedy for enjoyment, but his brain is not stupid, which is more important, how to choose or how to choose.

"That's a lot of money! Throw them all away? "The navigator was a little reluctant.

"Stupid! I haven't heard Emperor Hong say that if you have a life to earn money, you have to have a life to spend it! As long as we are not caught and stolen, our uncles and nephews will not have to worry about their lives. Emperor Hong's law is good, but unfortunately it is too rigid and there is not enough evidence, and no one can say that our uncle and nephew have committed a serious crime. Don't forget, our surname is Weng, not a person who can be kneaded casually, and we don't have to worry about running out of firewood to stay in the green mountains. Not only does he know how to make trade-offs, Weng Xiaoyi is also quite familiar with the laws of the empire, and he has also mastered the disadvantages of this law.

He really has a point, as long as no evidence can be found on the ship, coupled with the energy of the Weng family, maybe this matter will be turned into a big and small matter. After all, it is no longer the emperor himself who is in power, but Bo Jiao, although he is under the emperor's tutelage, but his way of doing things is slightly different, and he is more influenced by the people around him.

......A brass whistle overhead interrupted the conversation between the uncle and nephew, and the navigator looked up at the flag a few times, then immediately ran to the starboard side, raised his binoculars and looked behind right.

"Uncle, they are here, it's still the Zhenzhou ship, there are no other ships nearby." After a few minutes, the navigator put down the telescope and nodded at Weng Xiaoyi.

"Hang up the gas lights, let everyone put them on, and load the deck guns. Remember Uncle's words, except for your own family, you can't trust any outsiders, you have to keep a hand for anyone, and you don't have to lose! "You can never lose your vigilance on the sea, although Weng Xiaoyi has never attended a navigation school, but he remembers Emperor Hong's famous words very clearly, and he did so, even if the other party is an accomplice, he always maintains sufficient vigilance and necessary precautions.

The ship that came was indeed a Great Song merchant ship, and it was carrying a copper coin flag. It is not the kind of copper coin flag with a white background that is rented for money, or a money flag with a black background that is only available to official members of the Straits Company. When the two ships were less than a mile apart, the Zhenzhou ship began to lower its sails, and the two familiar figures standing on the stern could already be seen from the telescope, and the other party was also looking at this side with the telescope, and waved his hand from time to time.

"Hmph, Xiao Wu, do you see it, the surname Jin is not a good bird, he is also guarding against us." At this time, Weng Xiaoyi was a little relieved, and he observed more carefully.

"Uncle, how do you see that?" The navigator really didn't see anything wrong with the other party's ship.

"Look at their deck guns, the starboard gun emplacements are all empty! Hmph, play this game with me, really fight, and see which of us suffers! Weng Xiaoyi put down the binoculars and snorted heavily in his nose. At this time, he completely put his mind at ease, Boss Jin is Boss Jin, the boat is still the same boat, the most important thing is that the other party's style has not changed, which is more than what flag to hang, what clothes to wear, and how to greet each other, there are no accidents.

"Okay, if it weren't for my uncle's experience, we would really have to suffer. Do they want to eat black and eat black? I thought a few deck-breaking guns would be enough to be brave! Our ships are full of the Empire's latest long cannons, and a single shot can knock their broken ship through the pair! Why didn't I see that they still had this kind of mind? Through his uncle's guidance, the navigator immediately noticed that something was wrong, and he held up the telescope and started scolding.

Weng Xiaoyi agrees with his nephew's judgment very much, don't look at the salmon-class armed cargo ships, but the model of Jinheguo is much stronger than the model built in Zhenzhou, and the artillery equipped is also different. If a fight really broke out, the opposing ship would have to sink to the bottom if it could not resist two salvos, but its own hull could withstand the fire of those old-fashioned deck guns.

"This time is different from usual, and there's nothing wrong with being careful. We're afraid that they will use their brains, and they are also afraid that we will play ruthlessly. Don't forget, they have a big box of gold coins on board. Xiao Wu, with this money, our uncle and nephew don't have to worry about those guys in the Ministry of Supervision all day long, I plan to resign and go to catch the sea, you will still be the navigator at that time, let's go to the big food country and Cape Town to have a look. If anyone else really said it was that good, I would marry you a wife and make a home over there. You're twenty-five this year, aren't you? Over the years, you have been scared by your uncle, and you don't even have a home, and your uncle won't treat you badly. However, he does not think that the two sides can really fight, self-protection is necessary, but self-protection does not mean fighting, on the contrary, only when both sides think that they can protect themselves, the transaction will be smoother, which is also the philosophy of Emperor Hong.

"Uncle, do you think these deck guns will be more valuable!" It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, this sentence is really philosophical. As soon as he heard the money, the navigator's eyes widened, and then he remembered another commodity that could be sold for money.

"Smack...... Bastard! You don't want to die! We are seeking wealth, not the empire. Without the protection of the Empire, do you and I dare to run around in a boat? Selling these rags to others is not harmful to the empire, but if you sell the cannon to others, you are not afraid that the empire will lose the war? Xiao Wu, let me tell you again at the end, you have to know the good and the bad, without the empire, there would be no you, me and my family, and if the empire collapses, we will all be finished! Don't have this idea in the future, not you can earn any money! After listening to the navigator's words, Weng Xiaoyi directly slapped his nephew, hit him quite hard, and then grabbed the other party's neck and collar, and corrected viciously in his ear.

"Uncle, uncle, don't be angry, I'm all confused, and I will never say anything in the future...... No, no, no, I don't want to, I don't want to! Weng Xiaoyi's actions scared his nephew enough. This uncle of his own is not a good man, and the slaves who died under his hands are not fifty or thirty, and as long as he finds that anyone has a loose mouth, even if it is just suspicion, he will not show mercy.

Seeing that his nephew admitted his mistake, Weng Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. The words that reprimanded the navigator just now were 100% his sincere words. Weng Xiaoyi never thought that his actions were traitors, nor did he think that there was anything wrong with selling these things to foreigners and drinking the blood of slaves. On the contrary, he felt that he loved the country so much that he could even join the army and go into battle when he needed to, defending it with his own flesh and blood, and not allowing anyone to destroy it, including his own nephew.

This is a bit contradictory, his behavior is a crime, he is betraying the country, how can it sound that he is a complete patriot again? Even if Hong Tao is asked to answer this question, he will not be able to explain it clearly for a while, and many things will come to completely different conclusions if they stand from different angles, world views, and different outlooks on life. But it's not a big deal, when your choices and your views are different from most people's, you're wrong. This thing is not a natural science, it can be proved by formulas, it can only be the minority obeys the majority. (To be continued.) )
