The current situation has passed the most difficult initial period, and has entered the stage of development, and fights and killings will still occur, but they are no longer the mainstream. According to Fan Jin's own judgment, the biggest embodiment of the so-called vision of the two worlds is in the establishment of the big member.

Now that the Dutch have not risen, the sea is still the world of Portugal and Spain, and these two countries are not worried about the layout of the big staff, which can be regarded as giving Lin Haishan a window period for development. After she gets a foothold, it will not be easy for those foreigners to expel her. Although foreigners have some advantages in military capabilities and weaponry, they have a fatal shortcoming: they have few people.

Lin Haishan relied on cooperating with the Guangdong sailor, helping each other, the sailor helped with transportation, she also gave the sailor enough remuneration, and Fan Jin's face, and the development speed was far faster than that of ordinary pirates. After Dayuan gained a foothold, he began to migrate a large number of villagers from Fujian to reclaim the world, build houses, and easily divide and disintegrate the local aborigines. Now there are more than 20,000 of Lin Haishan's subordinates, which is a little less than the 50,000 troops in Wang Zhi's heyday, but it is already a powerful force on the sea today.

The five three-masted ships were all the proceeds of the conflict with the foreigners, and after paying a heavy price, the Spaniards also tried to repeat the old trick and buy Lingyun Wing to attack Lin Haishan, but the result was that the Ming Dynasty was completely wiped out. After this battle, both the Spanish and the Portuguese began to calculate how much it would cost to solve the Lin fleet by force, and how much they would benefit if they switched to cooperation. After a calculation, he changed from a mortal enemy to a partner in two clicks, and this time Lin Haishan paid tribute to the silver, and the foreigners' funding accounted for forty percent.

These foreigners are not internationalist fighters, and they will not be beaten by Lin Haishan to the point of being called a minister. Naturally, they had a plan to pay money, and they ran all the way from Europe to Asia, not to bleed desperately with the Ming Dynasty, but to make a fortune. These people knew that Haishan needed a large sum of money to open the way to Beijing and immediately donated generously, so they naturally had what they wanted: to open up trade and create a normal trading environment.

The Wanli period was not a few hundred years later, and in the Qing Dynasty, these foreigners were second-class citizens in China. Take the Portuguese as an example, they actually leased Macao during the Ming Dynasty, and they needed to pay more than 20,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty every year, and at the same time they had to bear military obligations for the Ming Dynasty. In the event of a war along the coast of Guangdong, the local government of the Ming Dynasty could order the Portuguese to help at any time, and the Portuguese in Macao had to administratively accept the management of Xiangshan County, Guangdong, Ming Dynasty. Whenever there was a dispute between the Portuguese and the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty and a lawsuit, the county magistrate would take someone to Macao to arrest the Portuguese and fine, because the Portuguese and the Ming Dynasty were destined to win a lawsuit.

Just such a group of second-class citizens, naturally can not rely on strong ships and artillery to open the Ming Dynasty to ask for trade, before the foreigners made similar attempts, the result is not only a military defeat, but more serious is the economic punishment. The Ming Dynasty's tribute tactics were of little use against the Japanese, and the sanctions against the Portuguese were still very powerful, and if they couldn't do business in China, the captains had to find a mast and hang themselves.

Lin Haishan's power has developed rapidly recently, and a big reason is that Fan Jin helped her open up the silk door in Jiangning. After the cancellation of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, those craftsmen who used to work in it and weave tribute satin for the royal family were all hired by Song Jin, Dong Xiaowu and others, or worked alone, and Lin Haishan was their biggest customer.

The bright yellow satin and even the dragon robe, which was once only worn by the emperor, have now become traded goods in the sea market. These foreign merchants are very interested in the special clothing and silk of the emperor of the Ming Empire, after all, this status bonus alone is enough to increase the price of goods in the home country more than ten times. Lin Haishan monopolized this trade line, just choked the necks of these people, and if she offended Lin Haishan, she couldn't get such a good tribute, who would dare to provoke her?

However, for foreigners, this is far from enough. Although the Ming Dynasty opened the sea in Yuegang, it was still resistant to overseas trade, especially to foreigners. This mentality can't be said to be entirely wrong, after all, these people are indeed thieves. Letting them trade in the interior will inevitably lead to economic disputes and public security problems, and the magistrates of the Ming Dynasty are now notoriously lazy, and they do not want to take responsibility, so they naturally expel the matter.

In terms of export commodities, the Ming Dynasty also implemented strict control, including the construction of iron produced in Guangdong, which was also strictly forbidden to export materials. There are also large restrictions on luxury goods such as silk, and there are strict regulations on color, quantity, and quality. The requirement is to give priority to ensuring the use of the highest, followed by the reward of the noble ministers, and then to the trade of the northern captives, and only after these are satisfied can they be considered for export. As for the bright yellow satin dragon robe and the like, don't even think about it.

Although some contraband can be obtained through smuggling channels, the total amount is limited and far from meeting the market demand. This time, the foreign devils learned that Lin Haishan could actually meet the emperor and even the prime minister of this huge empire (in the minds of some foreign merchants, the head of a country is more difficult to see than its king), and they threw down the silver one after another, just to open a regular trade route and cancel the restrictions on goods. So that the special products of the Ming Dynasty can be sold overseas at will, and in turn, overseas goods can also be imported into the mainland with confidence.

Lin Haishan is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she will not really contribute wholeheartedly to foreigners, but some of the needs raised by foreigners are in line with her personal interests. The premise of opening up the market and legalizing the trade of foreigners on a large scale is that she is the agent, and she is the only agent.

If the trade between the Ming Dynasty and overseas is regarded as the domestic trade of the Ming Dynasty, the goal she pursues is to be called the owner of the monopoly tooth shop and the tooth man of the Ming Dynasty sea trade.

"If I can do this, I will be the king of the sea, and the old shipowner was so majestic because he controlled the sea trade routes. Those who do not obey orders cannot do business at sea. In the final analysis, things at sea are business, and whoever can dominate these businesses is the king of the sea. I became the king of the sea, and when our boy grew up, let him continue to be the king of the sea, and you are the emperor of the emperor, which is much more majestic than you being a sesame official. ”

"Good idea, but ...... It doesn't match your own strength, at least not at the moment. Fan Jin was not carried away by the bright prospects promised by Lin Haishan, but poured cold water. Wang Zhi was indeed majestic back then, but what was the result? The so-called Sea King is not worth pursuing compared to the imperial court, that is, a soil emperor. Besides, this sea king is also a general merchant, and as long as the court issues a sea lock order, it will be finished immediately. If you think like this, you are wrong, eating alone is not fat, eating a silk thread is already very good, such a big plate, one person can't eat it. ”

"Three small?" Lin Haishan's apricot eyes widened, but before she could attack, Fan Jin had already carried out a vital blow on her chest, and sealed her anger with a twenty dice plus a critical attack.

"Listen to what I'm saying, if you don't let you eat the whole plate, you're afraid of killing you, and you don't want to think about it, now you have nearly 20,000 people under your command, and the number of deer in the army is not enough to eat. At present, the big people who farm the fields do not get much grain, and all the rice and grain are purchased in the Central Plains. As long as the court cuts off your grain channel, you, the sea king, will be finished immediately. So now you must not eat alone, let alone let the court feel that you are disrespectful, you can stand out, but not excessively. This doesn't mean that you spend a sum of money in vain to let you enter Beijing with great fanfare, if you don't make some face, where will you go? The benefits you deserve will not be less, and for the sake of our son, we can't let you suffer. ”

"That's pretty much it. So what's the benefit, you say? This is definitely not a ......" Lin Haishan pointed to Fan Jin's Lushan hand, and the latter smiled:

"This is the reward I deserve, and certainly not a benefit to you. This time I entered Beijing, first of all, I will let you completely wash your name, lest you have to worry about changing the governor of Guangdong in the future. I introduced Mrs. Li to you, not to let you polish the mirror with her, but to let you get on the relationship in the palace and obtain the title of a senior consolation envoy. ”

"It's useless." Lin Haishan snorted disdainfully. "Whether there is a title or not, I have the final say."

"Justifiably, with this title, you are a member of the government, and your subordinates are officers and soldiers, so you can arrange the second thing. It is to make Dayuan a self-owned trading port. ”

"Trade port? That's three small? Can't you do business now? ”

"It's not the same thing. Now you are doing business in Daguan, but everything is still done privately, and if you get the approval of the imperial court, it is a government-run island, and all the trade in goods is legal. Don't they want to buy goods, of course they can. The premise is that only the big ones enjoy the treatment of free trade, and they are still not allowed to do business in other places. ”

Maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty, like other businesses, was strictly restricted, and it could not be done wherever it wanted. In the case of the Portuguese, for example, they could not even enter the city of Guangzhou, let alone do business in the city. Until the Qing Dynasty, one of the symbols of opening the country with cannons and bayonets and demanding the opening of ports for trade was to allow foreign merchants to obtain trade rights and set up warehouses in the city.

At that time, one of the ways of the Ming Dynasty to deal with Wang Zhi's pirates was to directly destroy the natural harbor of Shuangyu and turn it into an abandoned port that could not berth large ships. At the moment, there are some islands that can be used as trade points, but they are not on a large scale. Trade is a matter that both sides must know that there are merchants gathering, and ports that do not play this role are not of much significance to commerce.

In addition, the trade port formed spontaneously by the people, that is, the convenience of trading, still cannot be solved in terms of the source of goods. Ports that are supported by the state have a different status. After Lin Haishan got Zhao'an, the Prime Minister came forward to promote Dayuan to become its own trade port, and the commodity trading in Dayuan was not subject to time, personnel, and type transactions, and then some preferential policies were given, and businessmen naturally flocked to it.

Fan Jin's proposal to use Dayuan as his own trading port naturally refers to the experience of later generations, and in the current era, he can also take advantage of the backwardness of administrative management to exploit the loopholes of the system. For example, the stolen goods that cannot be seen can be laundered through their own ports, and the children of the nobles and pirates in the palace have a demand for this kind of port.

Merchants who trade on the island have to accept Lin Haishan's management, so that although Lin Haishan does not have the name of the sea king, he is actually the emperor of the sea merchants.

Lin Haishan listened to Fan Jin's description, her expression gradually changed from anger to joy, and she nodded: "Okay!" It's a good idea. But such a good idea, why don't you let the imperial court do it? Are you tired of sitting on a big boat and want to take my small boat? ”

Fan Jin sneered, "Leave it to the imperial court to do?" Those wastes all think that they are uncles, and they think that officials are naturally superior, and this kind of brain-broken thing is not good for trade at all. To accomplish this, I believe in you alone. ”

"If such a place is done, it is naturally good, but good things are not necessarily done, you also said, things are not easy to do, how do you know that they can be done?"

"Because I'm the son-in-law of Shousuke now. It doesn't matter, then I'm not a fool? Shoufu has already agreed to see you, everyone has something to say clearly in person, things will definitely be done, you are responsible for the practical, I will be reasonable. Let you buy books, which are more important than the cannons on your ship. When the Freeport was officially implemented, we set up a few academies on the island and recruited a group of scholars to teach the children on our island to read. When those children become famous and become officials, they will be our help in the court, and they will speak for the masters, and our ports will continue to trade. In addition, it is to seize the time to store rice and grain in the granary of the big man, and open up a few grain routes, even if the wind direction of the imperial court changes in the future, it is enough to protect itself. ”

Lin Haishan nodded and said: "Buying rice has always been done, and now even if the big man is fenced, the grain can be eaten for a month." I also support the opening of a college. I just don't know how to see Zhang Xiangye...... Can I do it? ”

The female sea king, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, remembered the scene when she went to see Yin Zhengmao with Fan Jin, and she was a little nervous. At that time, the governor of Xinjiang was already so majestic, let alone the ruler of a country? Rao is that she refuses to lose the battle in her mouth, and she can't deceive people when she drums in her heart.

Fan Jin smiled: "Isn't there still me?" At Yin Zhengmao's place, I accompanied you, and it was the same when I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Leave everything to me, you don't have to worry about anything, don't be afraid, just do what I say. Remember, don't swear, don't show the slightest disrespect, as long as you make Xiang Ye believe that you are just a vicious dog in the Ming Dynasty, you will take care of the home for the Ming Dynasty, and you will never backfire on the master, not to mention that you also gave so much silver, and promised to send a sum of money every year to repay the service, and this thing is half the success. ”

"This is easy, as long as you send a sum of silver every year, wouldn't this business be very easy to do?"

"Of course it's not that easy, without my connection, you will be hacked to death if you send money." Fan Jin shook his head and said: "There are people who can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, and this world ultimately has to rely on human favors to speak, and I have this favor and they don't have it, so only I can do it." Moreover, Zhang Jiangling is such a person, a few taels of silver can't buy him, silver is just an appearance, in order to give an explanation to the hundred officials and the emperor. Xiangye and I both have an account in our hearts, I have a great Ming Dynasty, and I have to have one of my own people to watch for the court. After all, Francois is unreliable for outsiders, and if there is someone who can be trusted to guard Haijiang, Xiangye will not object. So prove to Xiang Ye that you are the most suitable person, and that's enough. ”
