"The name of voluntary donation sounds very good, but have you ever heard that when I was recuperating in my hometown before, Xiuning once made a boiling joke about forced donations because of a dispute over summer tax silk in one prefecture and six counties."

After Wang Fulin diverted the topic, he said the cause and effect of the matter in a few words. He saw that Master Huang Qi was a little embarrassed, while the other businessmen looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Moreover, aren't you afraid that after one donation, there will be a next one?" To put it mildly, it used to be one thing to know that you had a lot of money, but now it's another thing for others to take out so much money without blinking your eyes. ”

Could it be because the gifts they gave before were too rich and valuable, so Wang Fulin reciprocated?

This is the idea that comes to the minds of most people, of course, there are also a few people who are keenly aware that Wang Fulin, who has already embarked on a career at a young age and has a good future, will take such care of them because he is also from a merchant family. At the moment, Master Huang Qi was still the representative of everyone, but this time he bowed deeply.

"Please also ask Master Wang for guidance."

"How many Portuguese ships moored at Ho Kung each year? When the official smokes, how does the official leak? And when the goods are exported, can they really be taxed according to the value of the goods? Every year, how many of the Macao tickets issued to you by the government are collected according to the truth, and how many of them are prevaricated and said that they cannot be collected? And how many more goods are there that are simply from outside the Australian ticket? ”

After Wang Fulin asked five questions in a row, he saw that most of the businessmen looked calm, and only a young and experienced person like Feng Sanye avoided his own scrutiny, he knew that these were all old oilmen. I don't expect these few words alone to convince people: "I think you can see it all when you think about it." Shinong Industry and Commerce. Merchants are the lowest, even if there are many of the court officials who come from the families of merchants, but there are also those who regard merchants as cheap as always. If some people in the DPRK and China react strongly and set up a county in Haojing, or if the city department withdraws to the Guangzhou Prefecture, they send tax officials and eunuchs. Or the household department directly sends the director to enter Haojing, then the gain outweighs the loss. As you have just mentioned, military spending is the most important thing at the time when the two Guangxi are using troops, and it is possible to settle this matter as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up directly: "Okay, that's all I say today, and I ask you to go back and think about it, I want to go to Zhaoqing Mansion to see Ling Zhengtai first, and I will be out of company first." That's right. When I went to the Xiangshan School Palace before, I saw the exterior wall. However, the Confucian Temple has not been rebuilt for many years, this time in Xiangshan County Yade Haojing many wealthy businessmen generously donated, but also asked Gu County Ling and Zhang Jiaoyu to preside over the matter, rebuild the Confucian Temple, if there is redundant, even Minglun Hall also repaired a piece, and then more, it will be taken to repair the Guangzhou Mansion. You are in the business road, but you care about education, and you are a business model. ”

Seeing Wang Fulin get up and come to Chen Bingchang, who is in charge of the secretary today, picked up a list, and then walked in front of him and handed it over, Gu Jing took it with some astonishment, and found that it was today's gift list, he suddenly realized, and quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Xiaguan must carefully select craftsmen to repair the school palace." Of course, he won't ask how these physical objects become money, if this kind of thing is still taught by Wang Fulin, he doesn't have to be the county magistrate. And the Confucian Temple School Palace is so repaired as a whole, his political achievements can finally go to a higher level, and then follow Wang Fulin to work hard, maybe there will be hope of entering the famous eunuch temple in the future!

Until this time, Master Cai, who had just received the gift and received a soft hand, and Chen Bingchang, who had transcribed the gift list and had a sour hand, also understood the mystery at the same time. The former smacked his tongue at the generous gift of more than 10,000 taels in total, Wang Fulin said that he would disperse, even if it was generous to others, not everyone could withstand the temptation - at least his owner Gu Jing couldn't do it. And Chen Bingchang was relieved, happy that he didn't see the wrong person and the wrong person, of course, Wang Fulin could not be a corrupt official who was tempted when he saw gold and silver treasures.

As for the twenty or thirty businessmen here, seeing that Wang Fulin abandoned all the treasures and said that he wanted to use it to repair the Xiangshan County School Palace, even if they had not seen a ruined son who had spent a lot of money, there were still people smacking their tongues, some people stumbling, and some people secretly scolding the tyrannical things. You know, some of those things are rare treasures that can't be bought with money!

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Gu Jing stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and pressed it, seeing that he still couldn't suppress the situation, he suddenly missed the shocking piece of wood in the lobby, and had to raise his voice and shouted, "You are donating treasures, this intention is very good, but it is very inconvenient for the small families in Xiangshan County to realize things, so how about you exchange these things back at the market price?" I would like to replace all the students of the Xiangshan County School Palace, as well as the students of the Guangzhou Mansion School, thank you! ”

Even if many people wanted to vomit blood in their hearts, they still had to agree to Gu Jing's proposal - at least they didn't have to secretly invest in Mingzhu and destroy the heavens. As for Wang Fulin not using these as military expenses, but to build a school palace, these old foxes in the shopping mall all know it.

In the final analysis, the Xiuxue Palace is a good deed, and donating military expenses is to show off wealth, and the government has not become the Xiuwen Temple and the Xuegong to blackmail them repeatedly, but they have done it for the sake of military expenses. Although Wang Fulin refused to accept the gift, he was able to take this into account, and he was finally kind!

Although several days have passed since the riot on the dock, the blackened and mottled Lisbon ship is still full of traces of the aftermath of the fierce battle. The blood on the deck had been washed away by the vats of seawater, and it was almost impossible to see, but the bullet holes and the marks of the sword slash were still visible. Among the sailors who went back and forth on the ship, almost all of them hung their colors, limped, hung their arms, and even turned into a one-eyed dragon with one eye wrapped in them, and their expressions were either dejected or gnashing their teeth.

So much so that when the Bishop of Macau, Jia Nailao, walked on the deck, his face was so gloomy that it could condense water. And the few people around him are rushing to speak one by one.

"Your Excellency, the damage done to the Lisbon will take at least a month or two to repair before it can set sail again. And in that rebellion, Baron Franco was seriously wounded. One of the first mates on board was killed, four sailors died, and we sent people to help. There were also more than 30 minor and serious injuries. And. With such manpower. It will be difficult for the Lisbon to travel home again. ”

"Your Excellency, Baron Franco's injuries are very serious, and although he was treated in time in the church's hospital, he is still in danger."

"Your Excellency, all the merchants who often come to Haojing to trade have been summoned to the Xiangshan County Ya by the officials of the Ming Kingdom, and I am afraid that things will develop in the most unfavorable direction......

In the face of this extremely bad news, Jia Nalao couldn't help but clench the cross on his chest, took a deep breath and spit it out again. The voice was as quiet as ever: "The mastermind of the rebellion has not been caught yet?" ”

"No, the cunning fellow jumped into the sea with a few accomplices, and the guy who jumped into the sea first before should have been just a trick to lure Baron Franco aboard. I think this incident was probably premeditated, and if it hadn't broken out this time, it is very likely that these people would have done it at sea. We sent ships to search the sea afterwards, and this damn Victor may have fed the fish, only caught the bodies of two accomplices, and probably drowned before he could reach the shore! Otherwise, these guys must be hanged in the center of Macau. Let everyone see what happens to them! ”

Sir Lopez, the middle-aged man who accompanied Janalau, was the captain of another large ship besides the Lisbon, of course. The so-called knighthood was only his own name, and he claimed that it was a title from Tuscany, Italy—he cursed angrily, but immediately stopped cautiously considering that the man beside him was not an ordinary clergyman. However, Janarau suddenly asked him an irrelevant question.

"When will the last possible ship from Lisbon arrive?"

"Judging from the news from Goa before, it was probably at least two or three months later, the Princess Flora, which was said to be the original Spanish ship." Speaking of this, Sir Lopez paused, and remembered that Janerou had asked several famous captains about the situation in the Iberian Peninsula, and he was relieved, "Your Excellency the Bishop is still worried about the situation in the country?" Your Majesty's campaign against Morocco should have begun, damn it, it really shouldn't have been fought while the Spaniards were standing by! His Majesty is not married, and there is no heir, and even more damned is that he does not even have an illegitimate child, and if there is a case, then the throne of Portugal is vacant...... Oh, may God forgive me my sins, and Your Majesty he should be all right now. ”

He drew a cross on his chest in a decent manner, but his face was clearly not ashamed of his criticism of the monarch.

"The ship that set sail the day before yesterday was bound for Goa, and I had them bring a personal letter to Your Majesty. Hopefully he'll be safe ......."

Janerou certainly wouldn't criticize the madness of King Sebastião I of Portugal to attack Morocco alone. It was because of this Jesuit king that the Society of Jesus was able to take root in Portugal and over the years countless priests like him who have taken vows to join the Society of Jesus. Of course, not only Portugal, but also the king of neighboring Spain, Philip II of the Habsburgs, who was also a supporter and patron of the Jesuits, should have been Sebastião I's father-in-law, but because Sebastião I insisted on going his own way, the marriage between the two countries was obviously in vain.

Although the clergy knew no borders, as a Portuguese, he certainly did not want to have the scene he had heard before, once the double-headed eagle swallowed the golden castle, that is, Spain annexed Portugal, then in the church, in the Jesuits, of course, there would be a balance between the various factions. Moreover, through the turmoil before Haojing, as well as the reactions of those merchants, he had completely determined that the young Ming man before was really the Imperial Governor of Guangdong himself. Coupled with Wang Fulin's understanding of the Western countries, although he was still a little skeptical, he had to pay attention to the possibility that the double-headed eagle swallowing the golden castle was a prophetic dream.

However, the other side's attitude towards Portugal is too worrying. Especially after witnessing that riot on the docks!

When Janerou had inspected the whole ship, and had personally applied holy water to the wounded crew, he disembarked through a wooden ladder, surrounded by Sir Lopez and others. However, when he returned to the Church of Our Lady of Wangde, the local believers sent to deliver the letter to the Ya of Xiangshan County had already returned, and it was not good news to bring back either. Because it is said that Wang Fulin has left the Xiangshan County Government for Zhaoqing Mansion, the letter he asked people to deliver could not be found at all, and the messenger from Xiangshan did not dare to transfer Jia Nailao's letter through the Xiangshan County Order, so he could only go back to his home again.

Seeing that the bishop's face was very solemn, the local believer who temporarily acted as a messenger hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, because Wang Ye is not in the county office, but those merchants have not returned, I specially inquired in the city, but no news was revealed, I only heard that those merchants gathered together to discuss and discuss, it seems that this time Wang Ye summoned them, involving a very big matter. ”

"Got it."

After sending the messenger away, Janerau thought about it, discussed it with one of his most confidant priests, and finally decided to send someone to hand over the bodies of the two drowned rebels to the Xiangshan County Government to see if it could offset the case, and at the same time return a large fortune confiscated from the barn where the mastermind and several rebels lived. But not long after this group of talents left, he welcomed two uninvited guests, but they were two priests who belonged to the same Society of Jesus.

His position in the Catholic Church was higher than that of the two of them, but because the Diocese of Macao had not been established for a long time, the Society of Jesus had not yet had time to establish whether it was a province or a diocese, let alone appoint a president and a rector. Therefore, he and both of them are on an equal footing in the Society of Jesus.

Unlike Janailao, who gave the Chinese name, even in a foreign land, the two missionaries still insisted on using only their original names, using only Portuguese and Latin in their daily lives, disdaining the language of the Ming Dynasty, and even giving people Portuguese names when developing believers, so that people could live according to the Portuguese way. Therefore, after greeting each other in person, his two colleagues said everything about you, and all of them accused him of bringing Akito to the dock and causing this tragedy.

At first, Janerao patiently explained, but after the accusations of the two became more and more vexatious, and even shouted what to unite and send troops to return the color, he finally sank his face: "I know that you want to let them see the results of your mission before the arrival of the Far Eastern Patrol Mission, but please keep your eyes open and see the reality clearly." This is the Ming Kingdom, not India, and not Manchuria. The Portuguese ships and cannons once sank here, the heads of the Portuguese were once hung on the gates of Guangzhou, and the Portuguese were surrounded and slashed by people with swords wherever they appeared! If you wish to see a scorched Macao before the Far Eastern Patrol arrives, then go ahead and stir up our compatriots! ”

PS: First update. (To be continued.) )

PS: Recently, I watched a Xianxia with a good reputation, but in the end, it is the law of the jungle that is respected, alas. To tell the truth, since the mortal flow began to become popular, whether it is the perception flow or the upgrade flow, most of them are intrigues within the sect, killing people outside the sect, saying that the cultivation of immortals is almost the same, and the chivalrous word is basically invisible. "The Respect of the World" is highly recommended here, except for the infinite flow at the beginning, which will make people sigh, but the realistic part of the plot outside the copy is the essence, especially the enlightenment part is really deep in the essence of martial arts, and the chapters of breaking through the law body are particularly tense. This is the author's testimonial, no charge, but I don't know if you can see it
