Chapter 53: The First Trip to Wushan
The family banquet is always so warm, looking at his mother who keeps cooking for himself and his father, Lin Haijiang eats a lot and is very full, which makes Lin Wang's family happy.
Looking at his son, who actually worshiped the five ranks, and became a serious general after one step of promotion, Lin Wang's family is now full of energy to return to his parents' house, what kind of talent, lifting, and jinshi? Whoever can serve the imperial court in today's banditry will be able to glorify the lintel.
Lin Wang even fantasized about whether his son could earn a wife for himself?
After dinner, Lin Haijiang and his father chatted in the study, Lin Hanlin is now very worried about the frequent activities of pirates in the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, after all, the main business of the Lin family is shipping, and rampant piracy means that the waterway is blocked.
The merchant ships of the Lin family had 100 foreign guns provided by Lin Haijiang, a few twelve-pounder guns, and their cousin who was on an errand in the Guangdong Navy Division took care of them from time to time, so they were not affected much by the impact, but the sailors still had to pay a pension if they were killed or wounded.
As the so-called prosperity is prosperity, hundreds, thousands, and prosperity are prosperous, this simple truth Lin Hanlin understands, monopoly may bring extremely high benefits at some times, but this is a very short-term vision, after all, monopoly is not conducive to the development of the industry, business will only get narrower and narrower, and if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can't take a monopoly approach.
Because once the monopoly is formed and there is a layer of vested interests, it is not easy to break it.
Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, my six battalions of soldiers and horses have been trained almost recently, and from tomorrow onwards, I will lead my headquarters to go to sea to arrest bandits, clean the sea and level bandits, and it is also my duty to protect the territory and the people, and I have the right to train the troops." ”
Lin Hanlin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you can think so!" But we must pay attention to safety, the sea bandits are more cunning, and the foreign sea bandits are more strong ships and artillery. ”
Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "Can you still beat my Zhenyuan?" ”
Lin Haijiang changed his words and said, "Father, how much do you know about Shen Tianfu?" ”
Lin Hanlin was slightly stunned and said, "The leading shopkeeper of the thirteen lines? Shen Tianfu? Ask him what he does? ”
Lin Haijiang pretended to have nothing to do and said: "I just saw that there are a lot of foreign compradors there, and the masts of merchant ships are like forests, so I am very curious." ”
"Oh!" Lin Hanlin stroked his beard and said: "Speaking of this Shen Tianfu, I have to talk about his father Shen Maofa first, these thirteen lines are much more complicated than our Lin family, foreigners, officials, White Lotus Sect, Hong Gang, private, it is said that there are also Hong bandits, it is better to be less troublesome!" ”
Lin Hanlin glanced at Lin Haijiang meaningfully and said: "Speaking of these thirteen lines, we should start with Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Liangguang, Li Shizhen, the governor of Guangdong, and Yi Ergetu, the governor of Guangdong Customs. The residential tax is levied on all landed goods traded in the inland of the province, which is collected by the tax department. The levy of the levy is on goods sold from abroad and goods traded at sea, which is levied by the Guangdong Customs. To this end, two types of firms were established to manage trade taxes separately. The former is called the gold silk line, and the latter is called the foreign goods line, that is, the thirteen lines. Since then, the 13th Foreign Goods Bank has become a professional commercial house engaged in foreign trade. Although nominally called 'thirteen', there is no fixed number. ”
Lin Hanlin took a sip of tea and continued: "Since that time, the status of this businessman has improved, but it has also led to the expansion of the business team and the fierce bidding competition between various peers. Go out and make a living! It's not easy for anyone to break into the business world! Later bidding led to the formation of regional merchant gangs, which allowed merchants of the same clan or place and with a common geographical background to take care of each other. Because of this blood and geographical relationship, the local businessmen not only have a strong sense of family identity, but also the success or failure, rise and fall of the business is directly related to the interests of their own clan and the local area. With the development of buying and selling, the scale of the merchant gang has expanded, and some industries are completely monopolized by a certain merchant gang in some areas, and other merchant gangs cannot intervene at all. For example, the Jin merchants controlled almost all the money houses and ticket numbers in the country, and now many Hui merchants have become compradors, while the merchants in Guangdong have monopolized the right to operate the imperial court's foreign trade. ”
For these merchants from all over the world, the guild hall and the public office were the link between them and their hometowns and peers, and they were organizations they could rely on in a foreign land. Merchants also had their own industry gods to worship, and different business industries worshipped different industry gods. Regional merchants, as the name suggests, are a group of businessmen formed with the region as the center, blood and geography (hometown) as the link, and the purpose of 'friendship with each other'.
In the struggle for profits, foreign merchants were able to take advantage of the contradictions in the price of goods and the volume of transactions, resulting in losses and debts of the public banks.
"These are the origin of the thirteen elements and their basic rules, the internal replacement of the old and the new is very frequent, don't look at his Shen family today, he said that he is not guaranteed to be squeezed out of the thirteen elements, just like the Qi family back then, they are different from our Lin family!" After Lin Hanlin finished speaking, he looked at Haijiang, who seemed to be listening attentively.
Lin Hanlin immediately said: "You didn't care about these businessmen since you were a child, what kind of Buddha do you hold now?" ”
Lin Haijiang was speechless, thinking that it was too late to see the sky, and hurriedly flashed people under the pretext of resting.
As soon as he walked to the door, Lin Hanlin suddenly exclaimed, "You shouldn't have fallen in love with that crazy girl Shen Tianfu, right?" ”
Ah! Lin Haijiang was tripped by the threshold.
Lin Hanlin was a little dazed and said to himself: "Oh my God! Isn't it time to change the threshold? ”
Lin Haijiang left the study and went back to the backyard, and after a while, a dark shadow slowly sneaked away from under the window of the study.
Back in the backyard, Lin Haijiang found that the light was on in his room? After entering the room, Lin Haijiang waited for a chicken?
Zijuan and Lily actually stood in front of the window in the maid clothes they bought in England, one like a blooming rose, and the other like a lily waiting to be released.
You must know that the maid costume of that era was not the revealing surname dress of later generations, but it had the advantage of being tightly wrapped, that is, it was reminiscent.
This reminded Lin Haijiang of a joke in later generations, two men chatted, and one man chattered endlessly praising how beautiful and attractive the beautiful legs of his wife in a revealing short skirt were, saying that he married a wife because of these beautiful legs.
The other man on the side sighed helplessly: "My wife wears a long skirt that mops the floor every day, and I married her because I was curious about the inside of the skirt!" ”
Zijuan and Lily are their own girls, so this premarital surname behavior shouldn't be excessive, right? Lin Haijiang thinks that he can't compare to Liu Xia Hui, the master with unsound 'five limbs', but it seems too extravagant to have two surnames on the spot at one time, right? The legendary Double Fly? For the first time, Lin Haijiang realized that he was also very shameless, but this shamelessness had been covered up before.
Gently push down the slightly trembling purple cuckoo and lily, and gently hold the warm lips with a hint of fragrance in your mouth, fragrant and quench your thirst! Lin Haijiang's hands slowly swam on the bodies of the two women, and Lin Haijiang, who had little experience himself, was just recalling the works of the island countries that he had personally treasured in his previous life.
Slowly unbuttoning his clothes, the girl's body fragrance, **of**, all this made Lin Haijiang suddenly angry, Lin Haijiang's hand slowly went up along Zijuan's white thighs, he could feel Zijuan trembling slightly, Zijuan and Lily moaned softly, and bursts of hot air sprayed onto Lin Haijiang's ears, making Lin Haijiang suddenly confused and unable to extricate himself.
First taste of the forbidden fruit, especially the double fly that can only appear in dreams? Lin Haijiang fought seven times in one night, and Zijuan and Lily were still defeated, but Lin Haijiang also found that he seemed to be soft-handed and weak-footed? It was like running a few twenty miles off-road.
Early the next morning, Zijuan and Lily carefully put away the bloodstained white silk on the bed, and their faces were filled with an indescribable joy and shyness.
Lin Haijiang got up and put on his official uniform under the service of the two, and he was a little surprised to find that the hair ornaments and head shapes of the two girls seemed to have changed? And in a new satin dress?
When the maids and mothers-in-law outside saw the Zijuan and Lily sisters, who were different from before, they all saluted, and Mrs. Lin Wang gave each of them a fist-sized gold ingot after seeing it.
Lin Haijiang suddenly realized this time, but he was immediately criticized by his father: "Young people need to know moderation!" Recklessness will soon be useless! ”
Zijuan and Lily were so ashamed that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and Lin Haijiang also made a fuss with a flushed face, just burying his head in drinking porridge.
Lin Haijiang, who was very embarrassed, hurried back to the dock to board the ship under the pretext of being busy with official business after taking a quick bit, and his son left home in a hurry, which made Lin Wang's glaring at Lin Hanlin, who was talking nonsense regardless of the occasion.
