Chapter 680: The Temptation of Wang Xun

"Wait!"

Hearing these two words called out by Wang Fulin, Gu Jing didn't think about it, and immediately shouted: "Drag people back to this county!" ”

The soaps are the most proficient, and without saying a word, they returned to their original position with their big buckteeth and threw them directly on the ground. It was easy to escape the big buckteeth that crackled again, but he was afraid that he would be dragged down again if he didn't agree with him, so he quickly kowtowed two more heads, and then said one by one: "County Zun, the little one doesn't dare to say a lie." The little one used to work in a dental shop in Haojing, so he learned a lot of what the Franc machine said. Later, because he had made a few businesses, he returned to his hometown, and he came to Haojing to do a few small businesses, which made a vote.

As a result, he later met that Victor, and the little ghost agreed to his request, tricked people into going to the docks, and sang a duet with him to deceive people. The little one was scared when he did it for the first time, but he was threatened by him and said that he would denounce it if he didn't do it, and the little one really regretted it. But later Victor told the little one that he would take these people to Nanyang, and the little one believed him, and the little one had seen a few people who had been brought over the previous time on the ship, and they were all good, and said that they were happy to go to Nanyang to make money......"

He completely forgot that he had just said that these people were going to be sold to estates in Manraka and other places. If those people almost didn't want to bite him to death, how could he escape this beating?

Seeing the big bucktooth kneeling on the ground and crying with a handful of snot and tears, Wang Fulin was bored in his heart, and suddenly interrupted him: "Do you think that you have deceived people to the ship again and again, and made a lot of money, and the money came easily, right?" You think they're going to go back and the boat is gone. Will you really be able to go back and enjoy this wealth with peace of mind? So many bad things have been done. Do you think people will let you go? If it weren't for the rescue I had arranged. I'm afraid that you will also be sold directly to Luzon or Manraka this time! Don't tell me you don't know, the Franc machine has already beaten Manraka, and then you will be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life! ”

If Huang Tianren, the big buck tooth, was already soaked in ice water with one heart, then now he was like being thrown into an ice cellar, and even his upper and lower teeth couldn't help but tremble. Although he knew that he was unlucky enough at this point, if no one had rescued him from the boat before, not to mention that someone on the boat had set fire and set it on fire, would he have lost even a single life? If the rebellious Victor really drove away with a gang of accomplices, he would be useless as a traitor, and there was a real chance that he would be sold to the South Seas.

With palpitations, he stole a glance at Wang Fulin, secretly thinking that he had thought that this was a fledgling chick, and he was really blind, but at this time, he didn't know how to escape this catastrophe after thinking about it, and finally grabbed a life-saving straw for him.

"Patrol the adult, the little one knows that he deserves to die, and he just wants to give the little one a chance to make meritorious contributions! Haojing, those who can understand the words of the Franco. And the people who can communicate with them are often people from various wealthy businessmen. Whether you want to come to an adult, or a county, there is one less person who can communicate with those Franc machine people, and the small ones are willing to serve! The small ones don't ask for anything else, they just want to be able to redeem their merits! ”

Speaking of this, seeing the vicious eyes of the three small businessmen next to him, as if he was about to oppose his proposal immediately, the big bucktooth hurriedly added: "These few swallowed goods, the small ones will also get their lives back, just ask the adults and the county to give the little one a chance, and the small ones will repay their kindness in the afterlife!" ”

Even if he hated this traitor, Wang Fulin had to admit that the big bucktooth was really the best excuse. Even so, he is not an unprincipled person, he didn't say a word at the moment, and Gu Jing, the county magistrate, was also quite good at observing words and feelings, but he didn't answer this at all, and directly ordered the people to be put in prison, and then comforted the bitter master, and placed everyone in the inns around the county government, and then ordered to retreat, but he smiled and respectfully asked Wang Fulin to return to the back of the official house. When he was walking on the road, he took the initiative to say: "Wang Xun press rest assured, the lower official has ordered someone to visit, and there are people in the county who understand the language of the Buddha." ”

In other words, if there is, he will punish that big bucktooth severely!

"Well, Gu County Ling is thoughtful. However, if you want to come to Haojing, it is a hundred miles away, and if there are people who are fluent in Portuguese, they should go there to pan for gold, and they will not stay in Xiangshan County. Wang Fulin replied casually, seeing Gu Jing nodding again and again, there was a little surprise in his eyes, and he knew that he had mentioned Portuguese.

Thinking that Gu Jing was the bridgehead of Xiangshan County facing Hao Jing after all, he still had to polish this person to see if it could be of great use, and now it was the best opportunity to test his comprehension ability, so although he said something profound, he still didn't hesitate to mention a few more words, just like he did to Jia Nailao before.

"I have always thought that the country of Franc is close to Manchuria, so this can destroy the country of Manchuria, and once again risked the Manchurian people to pay tribute, but in fact this is not the case. On this trip to Ho Kyo, I met one of the bishops of the Catholic Church in the church built by the Franco, and was able to see a map of their treasure. Judging by the map, they are even more distant. ”

To tell the truth, Gu Jing didn't care about where the Franco Kingdom was in the past, but now that Wang Fulin said this, thinking that although he had been to Haojing after taking office, he didn't realize that he had gone to someone to see the map, and he couldn't help but secretly think that it was no wonder that people were patrolling, but he was a county order, this is the gap. So, he immediately laughed and said, "Please also ask Wang Xun to teach the lower officials according to the mention." ”

"Gu County Order, let's go to the study and say."

Gu Jing was afraid that Wang Fulin would have a prejudice against him, and when he heard Wang Fu Lincoln talk deeply, even if he was talking about what was the Franc machine man he was not very interested in, he naturally couldn't ask for it, and after agreeing repeatedly, he led the way in front. After entering the study, he saw Wang Fulin go straight to the study, and immediately went forward to lay the paper and polish the ink himself, seeing that Wang Fulin drew some strange shapes on the map with rough lines, he didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin to point to the middle of the figure and said: "Look, this is the Ming Dynasty...... And the Franc machine is here. ”

Although Wang Fulin's specific proportions and position in this picture are not accurate at all. It was just a random drawing of the map I saw the day before yesterday at the Church of Our Lady of Hope Janailao. But for Gu Jing, who has always only known **** Shangguo. Seeing that there was such a wide place in the world outside of the Ming Dynasty, he was still greatly impacted. Gu Jing swallowed hard, looked at the ridiculously simple map, and said for a long time: "Where did the Three Treasure Eunuchs go to the West back then......

"It should be this area." Wang Fulin drew a circle on the islands represented by the many dots in Southeast Asia that he sketched casually, but did not mention the speculation that Zheng He might have been to the Americas and Africa, so he drew a circle on the European scale, "I want to continue the name of the Great Cannibal." The people in this area are collectively called the Franc machine people, and the folk are mostly called the Hongmaoyi people, but in fact, this Franc machine includes many countries. For example, this small island is England, which can be called England, and this is across the sea from France, that is, France, and now entrenched in the mirror, you can call it Portugal. Adjacent to Portugal, it's called Spain......"

After popularizing the concise version of the translation for Janailao. If Gu Jing is popularized again, he will strive to promote these translated names to the whole of Guangdong and even the world!

Wang Fulin knew that Gu Jing would definitely be proud of the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty again after seeing all the small lands in Portugal, so he added: "However, Spain and Portugal are very small in their own countries, but now they have sailed their fleets here and occupied this place. ”

He drew a circle of the dotted islands of Southeast Asia, and then pointed to the two major coasts of Africa, Goa, India, and the American continent: "The west coast of Manraka and India has fallen into the hands of Portugal, and Spain has occupied many countries in the South and Western Seas. And even in these continents, which are far away from our dynasty, the fleets and armies of these two countries have already landed, and I don't know how many local people have been slaughtered and how much gold and silver have been plundered. ”

The first time Wang Fulin mentioned this kind of overseas reality to outsiders, it was for Gu Jing, who was neither a confidant nor a relative or friend, so he naturally had his corresponding considerations. Seeing that this Xiangshan County Commander gasped, he changed his words and said: "If it weren't for the fact that before I saw the map of the Portuguese in Haojing this time, I had also obtained a broken map from a merchant who went to sea in Yuegang, Zhangzhou, Fujian, and I heard these things mentioned. So, do you now understand why these Portuguese, under the banner of Franco, first appeared on the coast of Guangdong, and they tried to attack with strong ships and artillery? That's because they have succeeded, and they have destroyed more than one country, so they will naturally measure our dynasty by this, and then they will be scared. ”

Gu Jing still had some doubts about Wang Fulin's words at the moment. After all, it was the first time that he knew that he had thought that he was an overseas Fanyi, and that a small country that was not worth mentioning still had such a powerful strength, and that the Yi people who came out of such a murderous country even gave him money on a regular basis. He took a breath a little unnaturally, and then said, "Xiaguan used to be just a frog at the bottom of a well, and this is the first time I've heard of this. ”

"Do you know why such a small country would be so interested in sending a fleet to the ocean so far? Quite simply, their slogan back then was that there was gold and spices in the East. So, you should know by now, why did they suffer a big loss after our dynasty's repeated encirclement and suppression, but they still did everything possible to find a place to settle in Haojing, right? ”

Gu Jing keenly felt that compared to Wang Fulin's lukewarm attitude towards him before, what he said at this time was obviously a bit much. Of course, he wouldn't suspect that people were suddenly a lot warmer about him, and at the same time, he was surprised and happy, but he only hated that Master Cai was not there at this time, and he couldn't answer his questions and solve his doubts, so he had to turn his brain quickly. In the end, he has been a county magistrate in Xiangshan County for more than three years, even if his political achievements are so-so, he doesn't really understand anything, he doesn't do anything, and after a while, he finally had a thought.

Although he knew that he would have to take the blame for this answer, he still said cautiously: "As far as the lower officials know, it is those Cantonese and Fujian merchants who have always wanted to have a relationship with the Franc...... cough, the Portuguese communicate with each other, and the Portuguese have plundered a lot of gold and silver from the continent that Wang Xun said, and they also have to have a place to spend money, the Ming ****, the land is vast and the things are rich, so they can only be soft if they can't beat it, and act according to the rules of my Ming Dynasty, they can't rob it clearly, so they can only buy it back from us with real money. ”

"Well said! Although my Ming Dynasty is not rich in gold and spices, there are things that are more valuable than gold and spices in their eyes, that is, silk, tea and porcelain! As long as these things leave my Daming and are sold elsewhere, they will be five or even ten times the profit. ”

Even if he originally hoped that Gu Jing would not be the kind of official who was full of fat stomachs, so he would test this guy, but when he really heard that someone gave a decent answer, Wang Fulin certainly did not hesitate to praise it. Seeing Gu Jing's face shining, he just spoke: "What the imperial court needs is the rich tax of Haojing, and most of the officials from all parties in Guangdong are also taken from here, and a part of this tax is also needed to supplement the daily official expenses, and the Cantonese and Fujian merchants need such a place where they can ship at a high price without going to sea, and the Portuguese also need such a stable place to buy porcelain, silk, tea, and so on at low prices."

Therefore, when Hao Jing leased it to these Portuguese back then, the reason of the officials concerned was that it was originally just a desert island fishing village, and it could harvest 500 taels of rent a year, but now the rent is a drop in the bucket compared to taxes. Now Haojing is thriving, but I heard that the city department is mainly responsible for the sampling, and you just spot check. And once you encounter something, dare to ask Gu County Order, you are in Xiangshan County, have you ever felt like you are out of reach of Haojing, a hundred miles away? ”

"Wang Xun said very much, Xia Guan does have such a feeling!" Gu Jing felt that Wang Fulin's words really spoke to his heart. However, he was embarrassed to say that he hoped that he would replace the city boss and become the leader of the Zhang, so he turned around and tentatively said, "What does Wang Xun mean that the subordinate officials should send their subordinates there when the time comes?" ”

"Who to send? Gu County ordered you to go by yourself, you can't leave the county office, right? As for the county or the main book, the ethics are said separately, and if the name is not right, it is not good. As for those people in the third class and six rooms, you should know more about it, how many of them are geese plucking feathers, I don't need to go deep into the investigation, the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, they have more money in their pockets, but I am afraid that it is more than your county order. ”

Seeing Gu Jing nodding again and again with a smile on his face, Wang Fulin nodded to the end, and didn't go any further, but said lightly: "Okay, please go back and think about this matter carefully, and when the person sent to Haojing has a response, we will discuss this issue again." ”

After Wang Fulin finished speaking, he walked out of the study without looking back, ignoring the fact that this half-pulled conversation would make Gu Jingduo entangled. He himself just has a rough idea at the moment, not to mention, how many powerful Cantonese and Fujian businessmen are involved in Haojing, and what kind of background these people have, he is not very clear about coming to Guangdong in a hurry, which requires Xiaobei, who acts independently, to investigate and analyze it himself.

Speaking of which, the imperial court does not allow the imperial history to take his family members, although it is really inconsiderate of the husband and wife who live separately in the two places, but it also enables him to divide the army into two ways, one bright and one dark, can anyone be more reliable than his wife?

It's just that the second elder of his parents who stayed in Huizhou Mansion would probably be very unhappy, because it meant that it was absolutely impossible for him and Xiaobei to have children for at least this year, and he had to take all precautions to avoid creating a person at such an unsuitable time......
