Chapter 369 - Resumption of Residency in Macao
At this time, there was not much difference between the Ming Dynasty and later China, and the eastern part had begun to enter semi-modernization, but it was still antique in the southwest and central parts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, in Shuzhong, because of the presiding over of Chen Qiyu, the governor of Sichuan, and the wealth of Shuzhong, public carriages were popularized like the east, and even a road from Mianyang to Luzhou was built through Chengdu and finally to Luzhou.
Shang Jinglan took this public four-wheeled carriage from Hanzhong to Chengdu Mansion, and there were six or seven passengers with her, and most of them were also well-behaved, after all, there were not many people who really spent money to sit on this thing in these years.
Many people would rather walk a few more steps than spend this unjust money, even though it is not expensive.
And Shang Jinglan didn't dare to take a long distance, so she changed to a cheaper traditional horse-drawn carriage when she passed by Chengdu Mansion, although it was a bit bumpy, but it could also save a lot of money.
As a dignified governor of Liangguang, such a feudal official, Miss Qianjin had to make careful calculations for a trip, and this kind of thing really happened in Daming.
Although Shang Jinglan is a way of disguising herself as a man, when her financial constraints and unique scholarly temperament were noticed by the compilation of the peer "Shu Daily", which happened to be the same year that Qi Biaojia entered Beijing for the examination, and Qi Biaojia had studied under Liu Zongzhou, so they could be regarded as classmates, so they also became familiar with Shang Jinglan, and published the deeds of Shang Jinglan's return to her parents' home in the "Shu Daily".
I never thought that this was just an ordinary trivial matter, but it caused heated discussions in the entire Ming Dynasty, and thus officially set off the paper media not long after the birth of the Ming Dynasty, and began to move downward from a single political report and academic controversy, and expanded to record the content of ordinary life.
Shang Jinglan doesn't know this, she lives a half-farmer and half-official life in Longnan and Qi Biaojia, and her husband is not good at using contacts flexibly, which leads to hunger all year round, not to mention other enjoyment.
But when she returned to the business mansion, she once again lived as a rich lady with fine clothes and food.
The two different lifestyles converged on her like this, but Shang Jinglan did not feel abrupt because of this, nor did she show a sense of grievance.
Looking at the sumptuous chicken, duck and fish on the table, she can also be reserved for these delicacies that she can't usually eat anymore, but her daughter showed her greed and showed her and Qi Biaojia's embarrassment.
Shang Zhouzuo, who was wearing regular clothes, had to sigh, so he sandwiched a piece of meat for his granddaughter Qi Deqiong, and said to Shang Jinglan: "You and Huchen have suffered a lot in Longnan, but this is also a helpless thing, the monarch and the minister have to die, and you, as the wife of the Huchen, naturally want the husband to sing and the wife to follow; However, speaking of Huchen, he was also back then, when His Majesty eradicated the Donglin Party, he did not pursue him, but he himself wanted to hit His Majesty's knife, and His Majesty was merciful and did not kill him, but it was difficult to return to Jiangnan easily. ”
"My daughter knows that although our life is a little embarrassing now, it is also interesting, and Daddy doesn't have to worry", Shang Jinglan said this, but tears fell, which made Shang Jinghui on the side can't help but widen his apricot eyes: "How can Your Majesty be like this today, my sister and brother-in-law didn't do anything, but he said that the books he read were too miscellaneous, and he made my sister and brother-in-law suffer so much, and this heart is a little smaller!" ”
"Presumptuous!"
Shang Zhouzuo suddenly slapped the table so frightened that Shang Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to say anything more, only to hear Shang Zhouzuo still reprimand loudly: "How can the saint today allow you and me to slander, you are a big rebel, do you know it!" ”
"I know it's wrong, Daddy", Shang Jinghui pouted and burst into tears of fright, Shang Jinglan saw this and hugged Shang Jinghui's head, and said to Shang Zhouzuo: "Okay, Daddy, don't scold the little sister like this, the little sister is just a momentary gaffe." ”
"I have taught her many times, but she doesn't listen, unlike you, let me be a little uneasy, don't think that your father and I am now the governor of Liangguang, and I will be fine if I am in the South China Sea, to tell you the truth, there are many brocade clothes and guards around here, openly and secretly, your father and I sneezed a few times last night, I am afraid that your majesty can know it today", Shang Zhouzuo pointed at Shang Jinghui with hatred.
However, at this moment, a staff member ran outside the house: "Make the table, the court has a messenger to pass the decree, and please open the middle door immediately to receive the order." ”
"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here", Shang Zhouzuo said and hurriedly got up and walked out of the inner courtyard.
It turned out that the holy decree was not to cure Shang Zhou Zuo's sin, but Shang Zhou Zuo immediately prepared for the selection and construction of the South China Sea Fleet's station, and after the South China Sea Fleet arrived in the South China Sea, the other Shang Zhou Zuo was responsible for recovering the jurisdiction over Macao and increasing the tariff revenue, and could ask the South China Sea Fleet to help.
Shang Zhouzuo is no stranger to tariffs, as early as last year, Zhu Youxiao ordered someone to send him some information and literature about taxes, and asked him Shang Zhouzuo to write out and understand.
Shang Zhouzuo didn't dare to slack off, and he also smelled that this might be related to whether he could continue to work as the governor of Liangguang!
However, Shang Zhouzuo also did a survey of the area around Macau, and he found that Macau did not seem to be as simple as imagined, not only because these Westerners had been illegally operating trade in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but also because of the corruption of local officials, and even a large number of pirates also met here.
Therefore, Shang Zhouzuo did not dare to directly announce the withdrawal of the management of Macao, because he was worried that it would directly lead to chaos in the entire two Guangzhou, especially in the Pearl River estuary.
But now that the imperial court wants to send the South China Sea Fleet, it is obvious that it is necessary to strengthen the control of the Ming Dynasty in the South China Sea, and Shang Zhouzuo has no choice but to vigorously support it.
For this kind of exchange between countries, it is also necessary to pay attention to the courtesy before the soldiers, so he Shang Zhou Zuo, as the largest official of the two Guangzhous, is also obliged to directly issue an order to Xiangshan County first, and the Xiangshan County order will first send a note to the Francois (Portuguese) people.
"The Governor's Constitution decrees that the right of residence of the Franc Ji people in Macao has not been recognized by the Ming Dynasty and is therefore illegal residence, and it is limited to report to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang within the specified time, otherwise it will be directly expelled from the Ming Dynasty!"
This is Shang Zhouzuo's direct order, but in fact it has no effect, Xiangshan County Decree and Panyu Prefect and other officials have to collect a lot of money from the Franco Robot every year, so for the boss's order, they can only disobey the Yang and Yin, although Shang Zhouzuo's order was also conveyed to the Franc Machine, but the Panyu Prefect and the Xiangshan County Decree did not take any action, it seems that they want to drag it on, and they can make one more day of money.
But what they didn't expect was that Shang Zhouzuo didn't plan to really drive away the Franc machine man directly from the beginning, he wanted to drive away these disobedient magistrates first, after all, if you want to deter the Franc machine man, you have to clear up the hidden dangers inside yourself first!
