Wang Fulin just suddenly accused the Francophile of being anti-customer-oriented, and he really didn't say that he wanted to cut off the business market!

Fang San's old man blamed himself for being concerned about the chaos, and the last words actually brought out a bit of threat, at this time, he was forced back by Wang Fulin, he couldn't help but be a little confused, and he simply shut up and pretended to be dumb at the moment.

Knowing that this kind of old fritter could not be completely killed by catching a language disease, Wang Fulin simply let go of this stubble. Taking advantage of the silence in the four rounds, he tapped the handrail lightly with his fingers a few times, and only then did he continue to speak until he had regained everyone's attention.

"The city division is in the city of Guangzhou, and the deputy who is stationed in the Haojing is only the deputy and the small officials under his command, but this is the ancestral system and cannot be changed. As for the Gu County Order of Xiangshan County, it is nominally the jurisdiction of the city department, but because it is separated by a lotus stem, it is impossible to travel more than 200 miles back and forth for one thing anytime and anywhere, so the matter of Haojing has always been under the control of the three divisions. The Dispatch Division has full authority to manage all kinds of civil and military affairs, and the Patrol Division is responsible for inspecting smuggling and maintaining law and order. As for the most important sea trade, the deputy director of the city department promoted the chief leader, but Gu Xianling just gave it away, at most, he took a little time to go to spot checks. ”

"Therefore, this case seems to be just an individual case, it is an emergency, but Huang Tianren, the traitor of Litong Franc Machine, has confessed, this is not the first time, but the third time!"

Wang Fulin raised his voice suddenly, slammed the armrest, and the pleasant face he had spoken about at first was completely gone, replaced by deep anger and heartache.

"If there are unscrupulous people on one ship, there will be none on the other ships? What's even more unbelievable. That Huang Tianren was able to bewitch Wu Wang, the deputy inspector of the Inspection Department. Let him slaughter my fat sheep! Scold. I only stayed in the promotion department for one night, but Wu Wang's charges have been sprinkled with dozens of charges, enough for him to die several times, among them, accepting bribes from the Francophone man, matchmaking for Yang Dezhang, the deputy of the city's shipping department, and evading taxes more than 10 times, accumulating hundreds of thousands. There are human and physical evidence! The deputy of the city department promoted Yang De and accepted bribes of more than 100,000 taels, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive! ”

A small deputy inspector of the inspection department, these representatives of these businesses who came today naturally didn't care, but what they had to pay attention to was that Wang Fulin only stayed in the promotion department for one night, and got so many human and physical evidence, what is the symbolic meaning behind this? On behalf of Ma Tituo, he had been completely subdued, and he fell to this inspector of the imperial history, otherwise Wang Fulin would only bring so many people. How can it be so efficient? Take out a Wu hope, no one cares. Anyway, it's just a small person, and it's easy to buy it. However, Wang Fulin directly pointed the finger at the deputy of the City Boss Division in Haojing, which had a different meaning.

Everyone is thinking about whether Wang Fulin is real. And if it's true, is he going to the deputy of the city's department to be promoted, or is he going to go back up? Will they be able to hold back this unscrupulous Guangdong patrol imperial history? If you can hold it, what price will it cost? If they can't hold it, what kind of compromise will they and the family behind them have to make, and what impact will their business have? For a while, the huge second floor was quiet, and the atmosphere was so depressed that it was a little dignified.

While the pirates ravaged the south coast of Guangdong, and the ships on Haizhu Island outside Guangzhou, suffered heavy losses, Macao was hardly damaged by the city walls built by the Portuguese and protected by strong ships and cannons. At the same time, those who were spared were the merchants in Macau, as well as the local people who lived here.

But even if they understand this fact, the six businessmen present here all understand that Haojing is the land of the Ming Dynasty after all, and renting it to Yiren was simply the personal behavior of Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of the sea at that time, and now it has been a fait accompli for so many years, but after all, the imperial court has not explicitly recognized it, and the governor of Liangguang, who has the highest power in Liangguang, has never received the Francophile, which is an attitude. And it is indeed true that because they want to make money from the Franco, they have to snort and sometimes even have to adopt an attitude of patience. That's why they're waiting for the next part of the play.

"This is a copy of the newspaper that has just been issued in the capital, you can pass it on and take a look. After the former Guangdong Inspector returned to the Imperial Palace, he signed a joint letter with five imperial historians of the Imperial Palace, including Zhejiang Road and Fujian Road, to change the opening of the lotus stem gate from six times a month to twice a month, and set up a Yongmo camp in Yongmo, reset the coastal defense Tongzhi, and strictly inspect the sea route to Haojing to transport goods other than wine and rice. In addition, it also includes the annual restrictions on the number of ships entering the Ho Kami, population, etc., a total of 11 articles. Oh, by the way, at the same time, the rent and taxes of the city's shipping department to Beijing cannot be less than half a cent. ”

This is Wang Siming, who was squatting in the Guangzhou City Procuratorate, just sent someone to transfer it, and the genuine and fresh copy of the newspaper from Beijing had just been baked, so Wang Fulin handed it to Liu Bo, who was standing beside him, and let him send it to those wealthy businessmen. Seeing that these people had seen a long circle, the absent-mindedness on their faces was all gone, and all of them were replaced by incomparable solemnity.

Although these businessmen are confident that since the imperial court can slightly open up a gap in the sea ban, and in addition, in view of the tax and money that the city ship department transports to Beijing every year, it should not be completely banned, but if it is really so restricted, it is equivalent to several shackles directly on the body! And the matter of Wang Fulin's private visit to Haojing, when Xiangshan County Cheng and the main bookkeeper went to Haojing to summon businessmen, it had already spread, so while the representatives of various families were invited, of course, they also figured out the intention of Wang Fulin's trip.

The worst of these is likely to be that Wang Fulin, like the radical officials in the past, intends to use the riots as a pretext to expel the Francophiles, or even go to war; It is not good or bad that it may be to force the Francophone to shut down the market for a few days or even months, and wait until the murderer is handed over, and then kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, so as to establish his authority; And the best possibility is nothing more than to gather these businessmen to beat them up a little and let them break the bank. But Wang Fulin is not expressing his own attitude first, but the turmoil that is being set off by the DPRK and China, even if they have unlimited scenery in Guangdong, they are beyond the reach of the DPRK and China.

Of course, officials of Cantonese and Fujian nationality are indispensable in the DPRK and China. It doesn't have to be able to speak. It is said that the first assistant Zhang Juzheng had only cleaned the Metropolitan Procuratorate before. So what is left now should be his own people, in this case, there is no dictatorial Zhang Juzheng behind Anzhi? After all, the distance between everyone sitting here and the Shoufu is far greater than the geographical distance from Guangzhou to the capital, and it is difficult for anyone to figure out the heart of the Shoufu.

Therefore, for example, the third master has a higher status. The representative of the Chaozhou Business Gang, the representative of the Chaozhou Huang family, saw that everyone else was still groaning, so he took the initiative to be the first to speak, with a solemn face: "Please also ask Lord Wang for advice." ”

"I was quite surprised after I got the Di report, and I didn't expect that the person who initiated it was my predecessor, Shi Yushi after he returned from his term of office in Guangdong. I can say to you here very clearly, I do not agree with their admonitions, it is completely due to choking. Prior to this, I had already written to the Governor of Liangguang, Ling Zhitai, and Ling Zhengtai had already approved it. Jointly with me to write to the imperial court, the lotus stem gate is opened six times a month. It's really extremely inconvenient. It should be changed to every other day as soon as possible, and ideally it should be opened daily, open in the morning and closed in the evening. You can't artificially block it because of management difficulties! ”

When they just heard that some imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate wanted to limit the scale of Haojing's maritime trade, the merchant representatives were caught off guard, and they were all worried. The Lotus Stem Gate is open every day, which is a great thing, even if it is open every other day, it is much better than now, after all, the mall is like a battlefield, and some things are not something they can make a decision immediately, if there is a message transmission, it is better to sneak by sea, it is not as convenient as to teleport by land. Just for this point, their hostility and vigilance towards Wang Fulin couldn't help but lose three points.

After Wang Fulin threw out the two things that were opposite to each other, he did not continue to say, but changed his words and said: "You have lived in Haojing for a long time, you should know, how many people are there now?" How many people do I have? ”

This kind of thing is to ask Gu Jing about the Xiangshan County Order, and it is difficult for the other party to answer, but for the businessmen present, they can give an approximate number. Everyone glanced at each other, but it was a Fujian merchant Chen Si who replied cautiously: "There are constantly ships coming and going, and the specific number will fluctuate, and people from the outside world often say 10,000, which is an exaggeration, but when there are 1,000 people, there are about 2,000 people when there are more." As for my Daming people, if we have a business name to live here for a long time, plus those who are brokers, when men run errands, those who carry people at the docks, and those who open inns, restaurants, teahouses, etc., there can be about three or four thousand, plus the merchants and retinues, it should be more than five thousand. ”

This figure is similar to what Wang Fulin heard. Therefore, he nodded slightly, and then continued: "However, how many people are there among them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jing saw the opportunity and hurriedly said with a smile: "Haojingao, south of Xiangshan County, was originally scattered fishermen and a very small number of farmers, and there was not even a decent village. If the lower officials are not mistaken, in the Yellow Book of Enlistment, the number of households does not exceed one hundred and fifty, and the number of people does not exceed six hundred. ”

"That's right, I certainly don't agree with the conclusions of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Shi Yushi and other imperial history books, but the facts they stated, you have to admit it when you think about it. The reason why the imperial court built the lotus stem gate in the past was to prevent the Yi people from entering other parts of Guangdong without permission, and also to prohibit the Ming people who were not from Haojing to go to Haojing at will. Moreover, the imperial court did not allow the Franc Ji people in Haojing to build city walls, fortresses, houses, etc. without authorization, but it also did not allow outsiders who were not from Haojing to settle down. Therefore, from this point of view, those trading houses, public offices, and guild halls in Haojing should have all violated the prohibition! As for the Franc Machine, the land was leased to the Franc Machine, but the imperial court has not made a clear decree so far, and the two provinces have changed many governors, and they have never agreed to their requests. ”

Wang Fulin peeled off the epidermis from these two angles and went straight to the center, and the merchants were in an uproar. But Wang Fulin didn't give them a chance to refute, and this time he threw out all the proposals in one go.

"But the Francophiles don't care if they are not rightly named, they have built walls and fortresses, and they have also been there to the farce of the Virgin stepping on the dragon's head, of course, they have all been demolished now, but this does not prevent them from taking the land of Haojing as their own, and your trading houses, public offices, and guild halls are all paid rent to them, right? And you have been trading in the mirror for many years, although there are those regular customers who trade fairly, but it is not that you have not suffered some losses, right? ”

"After all, Haojing is my Ming land, those Franc machine people have been renting and trading here for many years, there are more and more people, there has been a home-guest translocation, magpie's nest dove occupies the posture, in the long run, it is difficult to guarantee that they will regard it as a country within a country, when the time comes to send officials from their own country, the rules of the city can also be formulated by themselves, such as the riot on the dock before, if I was not personally present, if I didn't send someone to bring out the victim and accomplices, afterwards, can they refer to the deer as a horse, reverse black and white?"

"Even if there are three divisions in Haojing, but because the official rank is too low, the deputy promotion of the city department is only a deputy position, once it colludes with people, Xiangshan County is beyond the reach of the whip chief, and it is easy to be unaware if it is deceived, so I have played the imperial court, although one has died, but the pirates of Fujian and Guangdong are still rampant, just in case, Yu Yongmo set up Xiangshan generals, in charge of the gateway to Haojing by sea, and the general and garrison of the Lotus Stem Gate, the reason why it is not to reset the coastal defense Tongzhi, but the Xiangshan general, is to facilitate the transfer of troops, and at the same time, transport goods by sea, can reduce the pressure of the lotus stem gate, and it is not allowed to bring anything other than wine and rice, which is inappropriate. ”

"As for the city department, according to the ancestral system, it should naturally still be stationed in the city of Guangzhou, and the collection of taxes should be entrusted to Xiangshan County. However, the responsibility of the Xiangshan County Commander is not easy to leave the city, and the small officials entrusted with it are full of malpractices. However, in the huge place of Haojing, it is only 500 taels for renting to the Francophone man, even if there is a tax subsidy, it can still be said to be a big loss. Since the imperial court has never explicitly leased it, and the land of Haojing belongs to my Ming Dynasty, I will go to the imperial court and abolish the annual rent of 500 taels paid by the Franco. ”

"In the future, all those who set up shops in Haojing will select six as insurance companies, which are official businessmen and obtain the concession of Haojing trade. When the foreign merchant ships arrived, they could designate one of the six insurance merchants, and pay 200 taels of silver as a premium for each ship, of which 100 taels were paid to the imperial court to deduct the previous rent, and at the same time obtained the residence qualification in Haojing, and those who obeyed the law could stay for a long time, and those who had already built a house were regarded as a fait accompli, and the rent was charged according to the large, medium and small occupied by the house, but no more land was allowed to be occupied. If something like the Lisbon happens again, the insurer will be jointly and severally responsible for compensation, or even be held responsible. At the same time, the six insurers are collectively called the Council, which is re-elected every three to five years to preside over the leasing of land to the Franc Machine, and the documents shall be submitted to Xiangshan County for the record. ”

"As for this council, of course, the responsibilities are more than that. Whenever a ship enters the port, the dispatch department will report to Xiangshan County, and the Xiangshan County Commander will personally preside over the pumping and record. The Council shall nominate one person as the Minister of Macao, with a term of three to five years, which shall not be re-elected, and shall be under the jurisdiction of the Xiangshan County Order, who shall be in charge of the affairs of the Macao Bills, and shall be responsible for extracting export taxes from the Francophiles. In imitation of the head of the household department stationed in Hangzhou Beixinguan, you can ask Guangdong to send a member of the patrol road according to the inspector and the patrol according to the imperial history to regularly inspect the mirror, supervise and audit the tax books of the annual lottery and Macao bills, and formulate the amount of Macao bills for the new year. As for the City Shipping Division, he is no longer stationed in Haojing, and is still in charge of the affairs of tribute ships from other countries, and exhibits and sells them on Haizhu Island twice a year, so that Shimin Bo can buy overseas curiosities and buy Chinese goods. ”

It was not until this time that everyone from Xiangshan County Ling Gu Jing to every businessman present took a breath and truly understood Wang Fulin's intentions. And no matter who it is, after the initial surprise, there is a trace of irrepressible excitement and ecstasy! Gu Jing was glad that the matter of Zhang's smoking was finally completely his own. The merchants rejoiced that for the first time, they were able to take root in the Ho Mirror, and for the first time, they also gained the upper hand in the Franco-Rang man, and at the same time received a corresponding name.

As for the City Shipping Division, although it can be said that the vitality is greatly damaged, there are very few officials in the Municipal Shipping Division, and there is no way to talk about having any say in the DPRK, not to mention that Wang Fulin also plans to restore the city of Haizhu Island. If it succeeds, the city division is also a little sweet!

As for the supervision of the judge, it is also reasonable, and perhaps this errand still falls on the head of the deputy envoy of Kaido.

Speaking of which, it seems that there is one less political secretary?
