Chapter 888: Take it
Although they were all dumbfounded, Zhang Zhijie took it for granted, compared to the profits from going to sea, what is 30,000 taels of silver per Chinese New Year's Eve? It really makes Zhang Zhijie feel like he is calling Hanako!
With 300,000 taels of silver every Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Zhijie really can't look at it! Besides, Zhang Zhijie took the trouble to organize the fleet to go to sea, not just for the silver!
Building an armed fleet at sea is only the first step, and then Zhang Zhijie will take this opportunity to strengthen the sea power and prepare for the opening of the sea ban by the imperial court!
Zhang Zhijie's ultimate goal is to open the sea to collect taxes, and it is different from the low commercial tax, he wants to enrich the treasury at the same time, and promote the development of the entire southeast coast! Strengthen exchanges between China and foreign countries, broaden the horizons of Daming, and inject new vitality into Daming! As long as the Ming Dynasty flourishes, what tartar and what braid slave is just a trivial matter!
So how could Zhang Zhijie agree to the so-called business of the Xia family! The bones of the twenty brocade guards are not yet cold! Zhang Zhijie is a person who holds grudges!
Xia Xuan was speechless for a while, and then said with a smile: "Lord Qincha said that he was joking, do you know how much the tax silver in Zhejiang is a year?" ”
Xia Xuan paused, and then said in an accentuated voice: "Tens of thousands of taels!" Zhejiang's annual tax silver is only tens of thousands of taels! 30,000 taels per Chinese New Year's Eve is enough to be worth more than five or six Zhejiang provinces! ”
Zhang Zhijie shook his head when he heard this and said: "That's because the commercial tax is too low, and the low is outrageous!" However, the Governor is still very interested in the sea, and he has not thought of doing business! The business at sea is so great, let the Governor go to the sea to do business! ”
Xia Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this, when he came out, he had a package ticket with his family, and he could easily get Zhang Zhijie!
In his opinion, although Zhang Zhijie is an official residence and a relative of the emperor, so what? But it's just a moth of the imperial court!
What royal relatives, what court officials, he has seen a lot! They all seem noble and dignified, but when they really see a large amount of silver, they can't wait to dig out their eyes, and they are ugly compared to beggars!
So such a large amount of silver will definitely be able to impress Zhang Zhijie! So he threw out a low price of 300,000 taels of silver per Chinese New Year's Eve, trying Zhang Zhijie's tone, in fact, his bottom line is 500,000 taels of silver per year!
As a result, Zhang Zhijie didn't look tempted at all, he didn't have any eyes on this silver, he was really unmotivated! This made Xia Xuan a little puzzled in his heart!
Since Zhang Zhijie regards 300,000 yuan as a dispatch called Huazi, even if he gives out 400,000, it is just a humiliation! It seems that Zhang Zhijie is really ambitious!
But being ambitious is not necessarily a good thing, and going to sea is really not an easy task! Xia Xuan was also very angry in his heart, and sneered in his heart, it was really a toast and a penalty for not eating and drinking!
Xia Xuan smiled and said, "Since the adult said so, let's treat it as a student who didn't say anything!" Lord Qincha, now even in prosperous places such as Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there are robbers attacking and killing officials, let alone the sea! There are wind and waves on the sea, and there are pirates, and there are fleets of Westerners, which are very dangerous! If you want to go to sea, you must be careful, the sea is very dangerous! ”
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this, is this a threat? A mere Xia family dared to threaten him!
Zhang Zhijie squinted his eyes and smiled: "Bendu has been taught!" ”
Xia Xuan smiled when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then the student will retire!" If you are interested in this business, you can find another student, and the student is waiting for you at any time! ”
After saying that, Xia Xuan turned around and prepared to leave, Zhang Zhijie smiled and ordered: "Come on, take down this person!" ”
When the brocade guard outside the door heard this, he immediately pushed the door in and held Xia Xuan in custody, Xia Xuan was caught off guard by twisting his arm, and the sharp pain in his arm made him have to believe that it was true!
When had Xia Xuan suffered such a loss, his face suddenly turned blood-red, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart! Why did Zhang Zhijie suddenly let people hold him? Although Zhang Zhijie must have guessed that he is from the Xia family in Quanzhou, he does not have the slightest evidence in his hand!
Xia Jiaming's face is very clean, and it is not so easy to be caught by someone at all, otherwise he would not have copied Zhang Zhijie Jinyiwei earlier!
So why did Zhang Zhijie arrest himself? Could it be that there was a bloody incident outside the city? No, he didn't leave the slightest evidence, even if Zhang Zhijie guessed that it was him, he couldn't take himself down without evidence, right? I'm not an ordinary person without a background!
Xia Xuan turned around and said in a deep voice, "Lord Qincha, what does this mean?" Didn't the student ever commit a crime? Although the student is not talented, he is just a person, but he knows a lot of people in the official face, if the adult wants to force the student to press something, the student would rather die! ”
Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "How can this governor be a dumb official, how can he wronged you for no reason!" You came to see Ben Dou and said that there was a clue about a bloody case outside the city, but now you are leaving after a while! How? Is Ben Governor so good? If you dare to deceive the Governor, will the Governor still take you? ”
Xia Xuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, this was really his mistake, he was angry in his heart, and he actually forgot about it!
Xia Xuan said in a deep voice: "The student naturally doesn't dare to deceive the adult, it's just that the student just forgot!" Those bandits are in the small courtyard on the corner of Front Street! ”
Zhang Zhijie listened and looked at him quietly, and didn't let Jinyiwei let go of him at all, just now Xia Xuan was very arrogant, and his face was very red and embarrassed at this moment, and he looked very comfortable.
Xia Xuan didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to be so polite, he had already said the truth, Zhang Zhijie still didn't let Jinyiwei let go of him.
Zhang Zhijie asked slowly, "Xia Xuan, why are you so familiar with these bandits?" Didn't you do that? ”
Xia Xuan's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Adults can't always arrest people based on their own speculation, right?" At that time, when there was a bloody crime outside the city, the students happened to witness it from a distance, and out of a sense of justice, regardless of the danger, they followed those bandits all the way to see where they landed with their own eyes! Is this answer satisfactory to Lord Chincha? ”
Xia Xuan did witness Guo San being killed, and followed him all the way back to the city, as for the place where the bandits landed, it was simply arranged by him at his behest Ruying!
Zhang Zhijie listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Your words are naturally trustworthy, but for the sake of insurance, please ask Xia Gongzi to personally take Jinyiwei with you!" ”
Xia Xuan blushed when he heard this and said, "Okay, adults can let me go now, right?" ”
But Xia Xuan's thinking was still too simple, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "What if I let go of Xia Gongzi and Xia Gongzi is gone?" So I'm still wronged by Mr. Xia! ”
