Wang Hai came sincerely to ask for refuge, and of course he would not be dissatisfied with Ma Ang's request, he simply appeased his sailors, and then got on the flywheel battleship alone. 【】

Although he was sincerely afraid in his heart, and still had a lot of expectations, but after getting on the boat, he still couldn't control his eyes and looked around a few times, not that he was not stable enough, but it was really all kinds of magic of the ship, which was breathtaking, so that he could not control himself.

The mystery of the flywheel battleship was not visible on the surface, and Wang Hai's mind was not completely focused on it, after all, the main purpose of his coming here was to take refuge, not to satisfy his curiosity.

He looked around to observe the people he was about to face, but to his disappointment, except for some people dressed as sailors, everyone else was dressed a little strangely, and he couldn't see which one was in charge, and he didn't find the very majestic young man he wanted to meet the most, which he imagined.

"You're the one who came to surrender?" A lazy voice interrupted his thoughts, and Wang Hai looked up and saw a man with a little bookish anger and slightly dark skin asking him questions.

"The villain Wang Hai, the owner of the Shanhai and the sea, came this time to admire the prestige of the champion Hou Ye, abandoned the darkness and came to the light, and dared to ask the adult...... "Ma Ang is actually not very old, in the eyes of Wang Hai, who is nearly fifty years old, he can barely be called a teenager, and it is rumored that most of this thing is a little distorted, and he can't determine the identity of the other party for a while.

Ma Ang was originally basking in the sun on the beach, dressed very casually, the upper body was fine, an open undershirt, but the lower body was beach pants designed by Xie Hong himself, which was very common in later generations, but in this era, it seemed nondescript, which was one of the reasons why Wang Hai was not sure of his identity.

"This official is the governor of the dynasty, Maang, and the Shanhai Merchant House...... Well? Isn't it the first one to come this year, after the naval battle, you slipped away the fastest, and even my marquis praised you for seeing things quickly, which one are you making trouble now? ”

Ma Ang didn't come out of a polite family, and after staying at sea for a while, he followed his surname, and he didn't look at the seat at this time, but because Wang Hai's identity aroused his curiosity, he immediately interrogated him.

"Hou Ye's prestige is too prosperous, the world knows it, and the villain also heard Hou Ye in front of him at first glance, and his heart was shocked, and he was confused for a while, so he fled in the wilderness, which is really a crime that deserves death." Wang Hai first blamed himself in a heart-wrenching manner, and then without waiting for Ma Ang to ask again, he told everything in one hundred and fifty-ten.

After leaving Nagasaki, the villain also came to his senses, and was very remorseful for what he had done, but the matter had been done, and the villain was terrified, and he didn't dare to return for a while, but just lingered...... I think it was the ancestor of the Wang family who appeared to him, and he said that the villain met a few people who escaped from Nagasaki in the Satsuma country, and learned about the situation, so the villain suddenly woke up and came to vote. ”

Wang Hai immediately knelt down, fell to the ground and cried: "The villain should say that he is also a lard blinded to his heart, so he did such a big rebellious thing. ”

After all, he also kowtowed again and again, and the strength was so great that even the deck trembled a little, and from this aspect alone, it was indeed very sincere.

Damn, there was an accident again, Ma Ang pinched his chin, and was a little hesitant in his heart.

How to deal with those maritime merchants in Nagasaki was explained by Xie Hong before leaving, but it was only a rough outline, Xie Hong was not an immortal, and the specific details still needed to be grasped by Ma Ang himself. There were some small accidents in those days, but the impact was not great, and Maang handled it properly.

But there is some trouble in this matter today, and Brother Xie didn't explain this situation at all? Ma Ang was worried, it is said that it is a good thing to have undercover agents, when Zhou Gongjin burned Chibi, didn't he deliberately send undercover agents to Cao Ying? But this thing is also a double-edged sword, if you encounter a rebellion, or even death, you may suffer a loss.

After trying to take a closer look at Wang Hai, Ma Ang couldn't see anything unusual in the other party's expression, with a bronze face, a strong body, and thick knuckles, he looked like an old sailor, and he didn't look like a person who could engage in intrigues.

But listening to his words, this tirade, his eloquence is hardly under his own words, even if he is a businessman, it is a bit strange, right?

How to deal with it? Do you just send it away, or simply refuse, or let him stop making so much trouble and follow the rules of those people in Nagasaki?

Alas, I should not have been on this governor's errand if I had known, it is easy to say it alone, but when I can't ask for instructions, I am really blind! Ma Ang was very stressed, and he didn't know how Brother Xie made decisions in the past, every time it was easy, and he was never wrong.

"The king's shopkeeper, since you know all about Nagasaki, what is the example of the official who allowed you to follow them? My lord has always been convinced by virtue, and this kind of thing is too weird, and it will inevitably hurt the heavens and the peace, so let's come with integrity. Resisting the urge to scratch his scalp, Maang still chose the safest way.

"But...... Adults, villains are really ......"

Wang Hai's words were prepared on the road, he was also a rough man, he was really not very good at that kind of crepe way of speaking, he didn't hear the inconsistency in Ma Ang's words, his heart was just in a hurry, the weather was hot, just in a blink of an eye, his head was covered with sweat, and even the deck under him was wet.

As he discussed with his second son, he plans to be an undercover agent, in fact, there are two considerations, one is to protect his family, and the other is to make great contributions, if he is like those people in Nagasaki, these two ends will be in vain, how can he be willing?

You must know that his capital is more abundant than those people, and the fleet of Shanhai Commercial Bank has more than a dozen large ships! In desperation, he had no reservations, and this time, even the considerations in his heart were spoken.

“…… My lord, the Jiangnan family is not monolithic, but in front of a big family like Wang Xie, others can only make promises, otherwise it will inevitably lead to unforeseen disasters, and as far as the villain knows, like a fleet like the villain, the Wang family has at least five or six teams, and often does some business without capital. ”

"Now, Hou Ye has blocked the sea route, and it is too late for the Jiangnan side to make any moves this year, but if it is next year, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a move...... Hou Ye is wise and martial, of course, he will not be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao, but Hou Ye can't be there all the time, if there is a villain, at least there can be a ventilation to report the news, reduce some losses and accidents, my lord, what do you say? ”

No matter how strong the other party is, Ma Ang is not too worried, the left and right Xie brothers have already calculated, and by the time they wait until next year, the scale of their own fleet will also expand, even if the other party makes a big move, but they are on an expedition of labor, but their own side is waiting for work, and there are flywheel warships, how can it be unreasonable?

Therefore, Wang Hai's hints at the beginning did not affect Ma Ang, but his later words reached Ma Ang's heart.

Without Brother Xie, it is really difficult to make decisions on your own! Wait for next year, you must talk to your little sister, and let Brother Xie find someone to replace you as soon as possible...... Of course, this matter is relatively far away, and it can't solve the current problem, if there is an undercover agent, when Brother Xie is not there, it will be easier for me to deal with it here, but ......, "The shopkeeper Wang, you also said that your family members are all in the Wang family, if your identity is discovered, or the Wang family threatens your family, how can this official guarantee your loyalty?" Maang raised concerns.

"This ......" Wang Hai was sluggish, and he had calculated all the common methods in the drama such as the letter of name and the letter of allegiance, but in fact it was not very realistic. Far away from the ocean, even if he now reveals the information of the Wang family, in fact, it cannot be guaranteed.

Ma Ang believed a little bit of his hesitation, if it was a deliberate counter-plan, whether it succeeded or not, at least these arguments should be prepared, at least those comments are like this.

However, if it is believed in this, it is not appropriate, Ma Ang is a little hesitant, how to arrange this person?

"Master Ma, actually...... Now that there is this person, what Hou Ye said before can be done in advance. The Maang authorities were confused, Lu Renyi didn't have so much consideration in his heart, but he ended up with a bystander, and he reminded softly.

"Huh? You mean......" Maang's eyes lit up.

"It's the last time Master Hou explained to us for a long time." Lu Renyi nodded.

"Yes, it's worthy of Second Brother Lu, hehe, let's do it." Ma Ang smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Shopkeeper Wang, get up and speak, your sincerity, the official knows, and there is no hurry to report the news, but now there is another matter for you to do......"

"Your Excellency, just command." Wang Hai didn't get up, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists, and said categorically: "But do you want the villain to kill those fleeing businessmen, and then keep the news here from leaking?" The few who escaped from Nagasaki were in the villain's fleet, and they could be taken down with a single command, and those who were already on the road would be chased and killed by the villains as much as they could, so as not to let go of one of them. ”

Although he had some doubts about Xie Hong's easy way to let people go, in Wang Hai's mind, to ensure that the news was not leaked, and to hunt down and kill his old companions, it should be regarded as a vote.

"That's not necessary, not only the ones who left first, but even the ones in your fleet, you just have to take them back to Jiangnan." Ma Ang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Not only does the news here not need to be kept secret, but it must also be widely publicized, and the wider it spreads, the better." ”

"Huh?" Wang Hai was stunned.

"I don't need you for the previous news, there are still some new ones here in this official, now I'll tell you, after returning to Jiangnan, you can find a way to spread it, this is your first task." Ma Ang said to himself, not taking Wang Hai's gaffe seriously.

"Your Excellency, please." Wang Hai is also a ruthless character who has been through storms for a long time, and after being taken aback, he quickly came back to his senses and listened to Ma Ang's words intently.

"In fact, it is also simple, that is, starting next year, the maritime trade policy of the Ming Dynasty in the East China Sea ...... Of course, now it's just the East China Sea, and in two years, this policy will be extended to the whole world, and you go back to Jiangnan and publicize it in private, the wider the better, the more detailed the better. ”

"Haimao...... Policy? The combination of these two words was a bit tongue-twisting, and Wang Hai got used to it for a while, and then repeated it smoothly.

He was also strange in his heart, the posture that Hou Ye put on this year was obviously to completely seal the sea, could it be that he wanted to intimidate others? But with those who left before, the effect of intimidation is clearly enough, right?

"In fact, the policy is also very simple, the sea trade can continue next year, but before the Japanese trade is carried out, it must go to the five islands, that is, Fukue Island, which will be called the five islands in the future." Maang explained a little and continued:

"That is, those who come to the governor's yamen to report and pay taxes, and if they do so, they will be regarded as legitimate merchants, and they can trade in the Japanese kingdom and Korea; On the other hand, there are smugglers, and the fleet directly under the governor's yamen will crack down on them, do you understand? ”

"The villain understands." Wang Hai replied very happily.

He didn't understand the new terms of the governor's yamen for a while, but if he put aside those terms, the meaning in these words was simple, it was nothing more than that the Hou Ye had set a rule, and if he wanted to do business at sea in the future, he had to follow the rules of the Hou Ye.

To put it bluntly, it is a meaning of buying road money, and the difference is a name, everyone in the world knows that what the champion Hou Ye said, the emperor did not agree, and the rules he set can be understood as a holy decree.

"This tax rate is not high, it is 50% of each company's profits." Maang stretched out a hand and spread his five fingers to compare.

"Yes......" This time, Wang Hai replied a little hesitantly. Fifty percent is not high?

Well, it's really not high compared to the shipwreck or the looting, but the maritime merchants were born and died across the ocean for the sake of the huge profits in it? This time it was cut in half, which was really hurt.

Wang Hai didn't think too much about it, anyway, he had already made up his mind to take refuge here, his position had changed, and it was none of his business, he just muttered a few sentences in his heart, and did not refute or justify.

"On the surface, this tax is indeed a little higher, but it doesn't matter, the policy set by Hou Ye is very human, and there are various reduction and exemption measures." Wang Hai agreed reluctantly, and Ma Ang also saw it, he smiled slightly, and began to explain the follow-up policy.

"My lord has always advocated order, and the most important thing is the order of registration and taxation, so the first is the order of registration, but anyone who has registered for tax in Zhengde for three years can be reduced or reduced to three and a half; Zhengde has been forty percent in the past four years; If it's too late, then I'm sorry, it's as much as it should be. ”

“…… In addition, the tax rates of various commodities are also different, of course, this is a later story, and it will not be implemented until the policy is fully rolled out, and now it just makes you have a number in your heart. ”

"Hou Ye is wise." Wang Hai nodded, although the difference is only one percent, but the actual gap is a lot, and it can also reflect the sincerity of the taxpayer, which is in line with the style of the champion Hou.

He hinted that Ma Ang's words were not alarmist, Jiangnan suffered such a big loss, it is impossible to stop there, and next year eighty percent will stage a dragon fight, and it is enough to show sincerity at this time.

"My Hou Ye has always been convinced by virtue, those who are confused for a while and can't turn their brains, Hou Ye has also left a road for them, and it is still a bright road......"

"Please make it clear." Wang Hai is also interested, what else is more important to Hou Ye than acting according to the rules?

Ma Ang smiled and said leisurely: "That is to let the officials in the family enter Beijing, count the harms of the sea ban, and ask the court to open the sea ban." ”

"Ahh Wang Hai was taken aback, and then suddenly realized in his heart, indeed, this is the most sincere performance, just look at the situation of Wang Shouren, on this kind of performance, he will completely break with his colleagues in Jiangnan, and there is no possibility of easing.

"The first one in the table can enjoy three exemptions and two halves, and the others follow the trend with a tax rate of 20%...... Wang Baihu, as long as this news spreads all over Jiangnan, this official will recognize your identity. ”

"Adults just rest assured, villains will die."
