177. How can you talk about Zhou etiquette to the corrupt Confucianism (1)

"You village owners are so courageous, Zheng Yiguan is much more ruthless than Liu Xianglao, and others are much more greedy than Liu Xianglao, your village owner dares to attract him to ...... Tsk, this West Sea Hidden Dragon, it seems that it won't be long before it will become like Liu Xianglao and become a constant hanger in your mouth...... Historical noun too! ”

Li Husan looked at Xun Shilu, his eyes full of ridicule, because he felt that he saw the future.

"Brother Tiger, there is a sentence in the Luo Division Bureau that is not wrong, you are just stupid and have no vision." Xun Shilu sighed twice: "Liu Xianglao is also the same as you, so now it has become a delicacy in the belly of the fish, our brother Dahai is smarter than you, and his vision is better, so Brother Dahai now has a name, the Longmen Inspection Division inspects, from the nine products." ”

"What? You also took refuge in the government? Li Husan's eyes widened.

"What does it mean to take refuge in the government, we were originally Chinese people." Xun Shilu said triumphantly: "A mere inspection from the ninth grade, what can be regarded as a refuge in the government, just to let you know that Zheng Yiguan was summoned by the owner of my family...... It is Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian behind Zheng Yiguan, if he is the main owner of my village, he can also be called! ”

The latter sentence is to use the tiger skin as a banner, purely bragging. Li Husan naturally didn't believe that Yu Guozhen could mobilize Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, but Yu Guozhen's ability to mobilize Zheng Yiguan was undoubted, and he looked a little surprised: What kind of character is this Yu Zhai master, even Zheng Yiguan has to sell his face?

"Okay, the excitement has also been seen, and everyone continues to work...... I will tell you the truth, good life and work, our village owner has never buried talents, that is, brothers and me, can also hang three bars, as the deputy director of the Fishery Bureau, you are good to do, after three years and five years, there must be an identity. Xun Shilu sneered again: "Naturally, if you don't want to live in peace, you have to find any trouble for my brother...... Hey. ”

He didn't say anything next, just whipped a whip, and the whip made a loud sound, and many of the pirates were silent.

When they came to seek refuge with Yu Guozhen, they calculated that there was no one in Yu Guozhen's hands, and if there was a big West Sea, only relying on Yu Guozhen's current figures, where could they sustain it.

But now they understand that although Yu Guozhen has no one at hand, he can transfer people from Zheng Yiguan at any time as long as he wants.

"What is the Lord of Yu Zhai summoning Zheng Yiguan for?" Li Husan looked back at Xun Shilu: "Xun Shilu, you talk to me!" ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Hu, I can only say what I can say, we are Xinxiang, there are many rules, and most of the reason why you are suffering here is because you are unwilling to abide by the rules." Xun Shilu grinned: "Let's get to work, don't miss today's things, the owner of the village said, you have to take advantage of the cool weather to build the big and small projects in the village as soon as possible!" ”

Li Husan was slightly stunned and didn't ask again, but in his heart, the hatred of Yu Guozhen had changed subtly at this time.

When he realized that Yu Guozhen did have absolute strength enough to suppress him, that bit of anger disappeared involuntarily.

Now what he has in his heart is curiosity, what Yu Guozhen and Zheng Yiguan will talk about.

"That's it?"

"Yes, it's such a thing, presumably Counselor Zheng also knows some of the details below, and he came south this time just to make money for the Son of Heaven." Yu Guozhen stared at Zheng Zhilong, who was full of surprise: "You Zheng Yiguan can do the matter of hanging flags and charging fees at sea, but the Son of Heaven can't do it, so I can only think that I can grow Hepu Zhu in the future." ”

"It's really not easy to be a saint." Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It is to grow Hepu Zhu, how much income can be made in a year, and the sea is the source of wealth." ”

"You understand this truth, I understand, and all the princes of the court and the central government also understand it, even the Son of Heaven understands it, but no one dares to mention it-do you want to participate in the general's play?"

"This official has only been stable on land for a few days, and he is not tired of living in the mansion in his hometown, and he doesn't want to go back to the sea for the time being." Zheng Zhilong smiled bitterly.

Of course, he understood what Yu Guozhen meant, the last note explained the benefits of maritime trade, and the next step was to collect the commercial tax of maritime merchants, or the imperial court would monopolize maritime trade. But this means that to dig the foundation of all the clans in the southeast, it is to be the enemy of the current dynasty in the southeast, at that time, I am afraid that Wen Tiren will have to stop fighting with the Donglin Fushe and turn to deal with him Zheng Zhilong together.

He Zheng Zhilong is galloping on the sea, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, what is it, if the Ming court is provoked to encircle and suppress him again, he can only abandon his family house and go to Dayuan Island again to be a local tyrant.

"Therefore, the only one in the world who knows Zheng Shenjiang's hardships is me......" Yu Guozhen laughed dryly, and then said: "I'm not without selfishness, Nanzhili's side, I can't intervene, and I will offend a large number of people if I intervene, Fujian and Zhejiang, there are Zheng Shenjiang, I naturally can't intervene, and Guangzhou is Liu Xianglao, this person only knows how to rob, but he has no long-term plan, it's just killing chickens and taking eggs, so I hit his idea as soon as I came." ”

As soon as Zheng Zhilong heard Yu Guozhen mention Liu Xianglao, his body was already sitting upright, and his eyes were blazing. When he first saw him, Yu Guozhen was actually a little strange, this Dragon King of the East China Sea looked a little like a white-faced scholar, and he didn't have much murderous aura.

But at this time, Yu Guozhen realized that what was sitting in front of him was not a group of amiable scholars, but a hegemon and a hero across the sea!

Compared with Zheng Zhilong, a fierce general at sea like Li Husan is simply a fighting dog that barks wildly.

"Yuehai was obtained by me by defeating Liu Xianglao, Lord Yu Zhai, in order to defeat Liu Xianglao, I not only lost dozens of ships, but even my siblings died because of it." Zheng Zhilong's voice spoke very slowly, but with a firm taste: "My sibling's surname is life...... It must not be lost in vain! ”

Yu Guozhen smiled slightly, this was not his expectation, Zheng Zhilong was a sea predator, Guangzhou had been swallowed by him, how could he spit it out!

"Liu Xiang Lao was destroyed by Zheng Shen General, but it can't be said that I didn't contribute, Zhang Fu was killed by me, Liu Xiang said that he had one-third of his strength, and he was exterminated in my Xinxiang, even Liu Xiang's number one fierce general, Li Husan, is now serving hard labor in my new Xiangzhai, if it weren't for my bloody battle in Xinxiang Village, Zheng Shen General would be better than Liu Xiang Lao, and it would have to drag on for a year and a half, how could there be such a good time?" Yu Guozhen said: "I think that the two of us can first reach a consensus, that is, Liu Xianglao, who we both work together to destroy." ”

His words erased the role of the official army in the extermination of Liu Xianglao, which was equivalent to kicking the power of the government away from the partition. In this regard, Zheng Zhilong thought so, but Zheng Zhilong still added: "When Liu Xiang was old, it was mainly my Zheng family!" ”

"Then it's easy to do next, the entire West Sea is protected by my new Xiangzhai, what does Zheng Shen think?"

"Then the entire East China Sea is protected by my Zheng family." Zheng Zhilong said unceremoniously.

Yu Guozhen shook his head with a smile: "General Zheng, this is not kind." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both laughed, the two of them were so serious about the control of the sea area, for the sake of profit.

"Lord Yu Zhai is reasonable, I guess it won't embarrass me, Zheng is waiting for Lord Yu's advice." Zheng Zhilong thought a little in his heart, and then spoke.

Yu Guozhen squinted slightly: "In the sea area east of Guangzhou, all the Zheng Shen generals, the West Sea belongs to me, Guangzhou to Leizhou and Qiongzhou, and belongs to Zheng Shen General, but those who hang my Xinxiang banner must be taken care of by Zheng Shen and must not levy protection fees." ”

"No, if all the East China Sea is the main banner of Yu Zhai, wouldn't Zheng not only have to eat the northwest wind, but also have a certain number!"

"Well, fifty merchant ships flying my Xinxiang flag every year can be exempted from escort fees."

"Fifty is too many, and now there are only 100 merchant ships a year in Guangzhou, how can there be fifty? Ten, ten ships are enough for Yu Gongzi's use. ”

"We can't learn from the market vendors, we must compare the baht...... How about a half-discount, thirty ships? ”

"It should be twenty-five ships in half!"

"Okay, twenty-five ships are twenty-five, but Zheng Shen will have to be treated equally, if he encounters a loss in this sea area, Zheng Shen will have to compensate."

The two sides bargained, and the subordinates who participated in the talks with the two were dumbfounded, and Yu Guozhen kept saying that he could not learn from the market vendors, but their performance was not inferior to any market vendors. The final result is that the two sides are bounded by the Leizhou Peninsula and Qiongzhou Island, but Xinxiang can have 25 ships go to Guangzhou every year for trade, and these 25 ships can be exempted from escort fees.

According to Zheng Zhilong's current standard of 2,000 to 3,000 taels of silver per ship, Yu Guozhen has saved 50,000 to 75,000 taels of silver every year.

Zheng Zhilong was very satisfied with this, which meant that he almost monopolized the sea area belonging to Liu Xianglao, monopolizing the trade between the Ming Dynasty, Yueben, and Luzon; What Yu Guozhen obtained was the right to trade with the Indochina Peninsula, which did not belong to any party in the first place.

"This Yu Guozhen, who doesn't look stupid, why would he put forward such a low condition, twenty-five ships...... Could it be that he really thought that the Guangzhou Mansion had twenty-five ships of goods for him? Zheng Zhilong laughed, but continued to think in his heart.

Yu Guozhen wants the right to trade in the Indochina Peninsula, which is nothing more than to exchange the silk and porcelain of Guangzhou Mansion for spices and expensive medicines in the Indochina Peninsula, although the profits are huge, but first, there are individual customers like Hu Jingshui in the business, and secondly, the silk porcelain of Guangzhou Mansion is absolutely impossible to fill 25 sea ships, not to mention that silk porcelain is also the main goods of the Luzon trade, and he Zheng Zhilong occupies the interests of the landlord, is it impossible to compete for the source of goods in Xinxiangzhai?

Zheng Zhilong was calculating in his heart, he didn't believe that such a person with good hands and eyes would be a fool, so the only possibility was that this person had other plans.

No matter what his plan was, as long as his strength on the sea surface could overpower him, then he wouldn't dare to make an easy attack...... However, in order to allow the two to see each other well in the future, if there is any contradiction, there can also be a buffer opportunity, perhaps, I have to put forward another condition.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "It is really a blessing in my life to meet with the lord of Yu Zhai today, I and the lord of Yu Zhai hit it off at first sight, and I have a reluctant request, and I hope that Yu Gongzi will appreciate his face......"

"Please." Yu Guozhen smiled faintly.
