I don't know if I don't know, but I'm shocked when I ask. What's going on?

It turns out that Zheng Yuanwai has kidnapped people!

It's really strange, it's weird, didn't you come to Japan to do serious business, and now you haven't gone out to sea at the dock, why are you tied up?

Seeing that the old housekeeper of the Zheng family looked like he was finally talking, and after ten minutes, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger understood it. This is really immortal, if you want to get rich, you have to be risky!

This Zheng family does not have many high-ranking officials in the court, but within a few years, he can become one of the top maritime merchants and nouveau riche along the coast. Why? It's not hard to guess that it's smuggling. And it is also related to smuggled contraband!

There was very little trade between the Great Song Dynasty and Japanese officials, but there was a lot of private trade. However, no matter how much trade was traded, there were some commodities that could not be sold and traded, just like between the Song and Liao states. For example, the Liao State is determined not to sell war horses to the Song State or anything like that!

There were similar unsellable goods between the Great Song Dynasty and Japan, and the reason why Zheng Yuanwai was able to get rich was because he often took away smuggled goods between the Song Dynasty and Fusang within the serious goods, which were not tradable on the official side.

No wonder Zhu Zilong's doppelganger hasn't seen Zheng Yuanwai at the dock in the past few days. It turned out that he used other ships to transport goods to a nearby island in Japan, and traded with the shippers who had placed orders.

But, unfortunately, this time the other party came to eat black!

The so-called criminal transaction, 99 successes, as long as you fail once, basically your previous success is completely meaningless. Such smuggling is almost like a car accident!

The head of the family is missing, and this kind of thing is useless to just press it. No, the relatives of the Zheng family who came with the boat were gossiping and disturbing one after another. Although Zheng Yuanwai is the head of the family, it doesn't mean that no one covets the position under his buttocks.

Fortunately, the old housekeeper was used in front of the previous generation of family heads, and he was still quite dignified. Suppress the formation, thinking that there must be cause and effect, no matter what, first lose the money from the source of goods, otherwise, the ancestral land of the hometown will be gone.

Zhu Zilong understood him, obviously. has been able to smuggle contraband for so many years, there must be officials in the Great Song Dynasty secretly cooperating, but they cannot be publicly exposed. However, if it is like this this time, I will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, I am afraid that it will be forced to Liangshan. Death will first destroy the entire Zheng family, and wipe out the family!

The children of the Zheng family are not without brains at all, and they naturally dare not make much trouble at this juncture. Each family came out of the coffin, only for the kidnappers to send a message, if the money from the two departments is ransom, half of the goods can be returned, and the people can also be returned.

It's a pity that the money is in place, but the good hands of the people on the Zheng family's side all accompanied Zheng Yuan to go out to trade, and they all died and deducted. The old housekeeper of the Zheng family was afraid that he would bring money to the island to trade, and it would make people eat black again!

At the moment, there is no support here, so I have to ask the people from Zhu Zilong's side to help me go together.

Thinking about it, I also looked at the quasi-official body of Zhu Zilong's clone, and there were many strong men in the sailors, with knives and firearms in their hands, and even a subordinate general who should be in the bureau brought a team of people, usually just eating and drinking, and not much.

Now it seems that this plus two, two plus three, if Zhu Zilong's clone goes with him, and then draws the hands of the sailors, he can only organize a team of nearly 1,000 people to go to the island once.

With such manpower, I believe it can be suppressed.

Moreover, maybe the name of the paper tiger of the Great Song Dynasty will scare the pirates, maybe the ransom that people want is willing to reduce it?

-

Invite the old housekeeper and young lady of the Zheng family to the side room and avoid it for the time being.

Zhu Zilong's doppelganger turned his head and sighed: "As the saying goes, people die for money, and words die for food...... Comrade Marx is still right: if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged! ”

Regarding the greed of capital, Zhu Zilong, whether it is the main body or the clone, is actually not disgusted. No one will have trouble with money, even if it is to make money, as long as it is not a complete crime, it is hopeless. Actually, that's it!

The world is as black as a crow, and some seem to be conscientious businessmen, but in fact, what they start and do secretly is not a little more noble than that of black-hearted businessmen.

In the 21st century, corrupt officials and profiteers casually made hundreds of millions of dollars, and there was no judge who sentenced him to death.

The forbidden goods of the Great Song Dynasty are nothing to say, compared to the Ming Dynasty that smuggled firearms to wild boar skins in the next few hundred years, there were Han people who acted as traitors to do it. Zheng Yuanwai's errand can only be said to be an ordinary person walking by the river, and he was unlucky for a while!

If you really want to dig deeper, if you are willing to help, you can use your relationship with Cai Jing and other people. That's not a big deal!

After all, even if there are expired weapons among those contraband, they are just cold weapons at best. Speaking of the Zheng family's old housekeeper who is afraid of death, most of them are accomplice officials in the court, and their official position is not high enough.

If you really want to talk about these people changing hands to fend for themselves, don't ask the court to withdraw more money, which is actually a good thing.

The resale of ordnance and other forbidden weapons is like the later generations of satellite pots looking at wires and wires for no money, and finally a relevant department came and ordered the satellite pot to be smashed. It's not that the ministers of the real court don't know, and most of the time they turn a blind eye!

Why?

Hehe, there are 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital, plus the local army, and the silver is brought up every year, which is really like splashing water, and the court has no surplus food!

If you can save a little bit, pull out a little less is a little, this is still going to be a war year after year, and you can't manage so much!

Even if you look at the situation at the border pass, those Tartar barbarians are inexhaustible and kill endlessly. This obvious self-respecting mind of raising a coward is much more sinful than these people who go to sea to do contraband trading.

On the surface, he is still a hero, but in fact, he is a big traitor!

However, the famous general is like a wolf, and although it is fierce, it needs a lot of food to feed it. Otherwise, it may bite you back, in the era of literati supremacy. It seems that the generals are not favored, but how did they come from the Song Dynasty, and the consequences of the previous calendar are calculated like this. Do you really think you can't win over?

Knowing that it was a pit, he could only throw money into it.

Maintain ordnance forging, and maintain forbidden goods and silver! Where is it cost-effective to sell for silver?

Therefore, the deeds of the Zheng family are developed. It's not that it can't be done, and the court also turns a blind eye, but it must not be said, if it is said, it will not be good, and it will not be good to explain it to the people of the world.

You must know that in China, from ancient times to the present, there is no good end for those who tell the truth. Just like in that fairy tale, pointing to the emperor's new clothes, he said that in fact, the emperor had no clothes at all.

Those adults don't know that the emperor is actually not wearing clothes? Of course not, if you say this, it's not a child, and you can barely use childish ignorance to whitewash it. If an adult dares to say this, he doesn't need the emperor to speak. The others trampled that man to death!
