The parcel contained account books, registers, and the storage of various belongings, and the other part was the contacts and accounts of the Hsu caravan in Japan. Except for the Japanese part that is not of much use at present, these account books alone almost reveal the entire Xu family's belongings, Xu Yang's wealth accumulated for decades for businessmen and bandits, and the materials prepared for the establishment of the country, the huge number can only be described in four shocking words.

Although it is impossible for all these wealth to be included in private pockets, there are countless tricks in the process of confiscating and counting and handing over. As long as you use your brain a little, you can multiply your family wealth more than ten times, and it is just a matter of a slight movement of the tip of the pen.

Yuzi said: "These wealth figures, except for me, the bookkeeper, no one else grasps, this account book can also be regarded as the core lifeblood of the Xu Chamber of Commerce." From now on, the lord of the Qincha can be regarded as the master of this island, all the wealth above, which ones are left, which ones are to be handed over to the imperial court, and which ones are the lord's own share, it all depends on your mind, no one can say a word more, and there will be no handle left. ”

Yang Chengzu closed the account book and looked at Yuzi, "Such a treasure, you can take it out so easily, aren't you afraid that I will swallow you with a belt and bones, and leave no dregs?" The heart of being an official is ruthless, and Mrs. Yuzi is not a little girl who has just debuted, so you don't need me to teach you these truths, right? ”

His words are a pun, especially in this environment, which is a bit funny. Yuzi's face was slightly red, but she still replied gently, "Since we are sincere and obedient, we naturally dare not have reservations about the Qincha, the little woman is not one of those stupid people at the banquet, recognize the situation, choose her own lord, and then, you have to offer all your loyalty." This is the way for the weak to protect themselves in this era, as a weak, but always want to keep the chips to deal with the strong, it will only break his bones. ”

Her voice was sweet, but her tone was firm, and it was clear that she herself was not as weak as she appeared. reminds me of the first time she met, wearing a helmet and a mask, it seems that she wants to leave the first impression of a martial artist on Yang Chengzu, and in the subsequent relationship, she also tries her best to show her capable and heroic side, rather than the softness of women.

Maybe from her heart, she doesn't want to exchange her identity as a woman for anything, or her position on herself in the future, she hopes to be a warrior who takes on one side, rather than a bed warmer for a nobleman.

Being a private pet of Qincha is much easier than being a martial artist, looking at this petite body, it is hard to imagine that she is willing to take the initiative to pick up a relatively heavy burden. Yang Chengzu pondered for a moment and asked, "Madam Yuzi, since you are truly obedient, why don't you tell me what the real situation on your island is now." ”

"The real situation, in fact, I think Qin Cha already has his own news, and what the little woman said is no different from them. The entire Xu clan has become a thing of the past, unless the imperial court can give us privateer permission, or negotiate cooperation with us, otherwise the former king of the sea will soon be swallowed up by the merciless sea. The reason why I gave up the old camp and came to Shuangyu with all my savings was because the old camp could no longer hold on. There are too many forces coveting there, and someone may come to stab them anytime and anywhere, and today's Xu family has actually reached the point of survival, and it is no longer a scourge of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Since the defeat of Ningbo, the remnants of Li Qi and Deng Tong fled to Tuen Mun and went to join the Franco. Among the others, some forces who were not very close to Xu Yang also took the opportunity to set up their own doors and set up mountain gates in other places. Others began to eyeing the Xu family, wanting to stand on the corpse of the dead giant and develop their own power.

Yuzi also made a quick decision and led the remnants to retreat to Shuangyu, but the other pirates were worried that they would be copied by the officials and soldiers in the Shuangyu battle, so they didn't dare to come over to chase and kill. Her arrangement, to a certain extent, borrowed the momentum of the official army to suppress others.

After losing the support of these people, the Xu clan has actually declined so much that it is unlikely that they will be able to regain their past prestige on their own

Xu Dong and Yuzi want to recruit An, but there are still differences in positions, Xu Dong hopes that the government will give permission to privateer and revitalize Xu's prestige. And Yuzi's position is relatively rational, or in other words, she was born in the Tsushima family, and she is better at finding her position than Xu Dong. However, she still has to make her own efforts for this Xu family, and do her best to save its fate.

"Your Excellency, I also know that it is very difficult to get the Emperor to approve privateering. However, since you are the favored vassals of the Son of Heaven, you can always do some things that others can't, we can cooperate, and the Xu clan will be responsible for opening up an overseas territory for the Ming Dynasty, and you can even appoint a governor of your own, and we will only serve as his subordinates......"

"And then what?" Yang Chengzu spread his hands, "Overseas territories, the whip is beyond reach, Daming used to have the Old Port Propaganda Division, but so what?" The imperial court can't control it at all, in fact, not to mention overseas, even if it is the Tusi forces in the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult for the imperial court to interfere. What is the use of a useless piece of land overseas? It's good that you can pay your taxes at first, but when you develop your strength, will you continue to pay them? At that time, it will be nothing more than to set up another country overseas to fight against the Ming Dynasty, or to pay tribute, which will be harmful to me, and I will only agree to this kind of thing after I have endured it. Moreover, I believe that as long as the Xu clan develops their strength, they will still come to the sea of the Ming Dynasty to be maritime merchants and pirates. The so-called don't shoot in the Daming Sea, it's okay to keep this kind of talk to deceive a three-year-old child, just lie to me! ”

Yuzi's face changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth, "Your Excellency Qincha, please believe in our loyalty, as long as Da Ming is always strong, we ...... We will not challenge the strong. Opening up an overseas territory will also make the face of the Son of Heaven shine, and we can also pay you......"

"What you said is not enough for me to take this risk, Daming is a continental country, and it will not maintain a strong sailor for a long time. The first one is too expensive, and the second is meaningless. And then there is a huge tumor overseas, and I don't know when, you will kill it back, kill people and sell more goods. Think about it, why should I support the existence of such a force? After I arrived in the southeast, I collected the civilian armed forces, disbanded the militia groups, and wantonly collected the people's crossbows and armor to arm the new army. In addition to the reason for preparing for arms, another important reason is that the people are not allowed to have the force that can fight against the imperial court. It's a dream. ”

"Nachincha...... What do you mean? ”

"I'm here, and I'll tell you the truth, the price of doing business is negotiable, and it also has its own bottom line. My bottom line is that your Xu Clan's fleet and armament must be used by the imperial court and become the armed forces of the imperial court. Some of you must die to quench the wrath of the coastal dwellers. Let's talk about who dies and who doesn't, and how many die and how little they die. In addition, there are still some people who will make a career and become officials and enter the officialdom, even if they do not have a very good future, but it is still no problem to ensure that they are rich and rich. As for you, ma'am...... The official can guarantee that you are different from them, and will always protect you with a good background and a good home. ”
