"Bold!"

The moment He Xinyin flashed his sword, someone suddenly jumped out from the side, and his iron-like arm grabbed He Xinyin's wrist, He Daxia's martial arts skills are superb, but he can't compare to this person's strength, and he was so angry that he scolded: "What a man, why do you be a lackey for this little traitor?" ”

"Fart, Lord Tang is exhausted, forgetting to sleep and eating, how can you criticize it?"

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Brother Yuan Jing, everyone is their own family, don't lose your temper, there are some things I didn't make clear, it's indeed my fault, and now, we should also solve the mystery." ”

Li Zhen clapped his hands with joy, "I'll just say that Master Tang is not that kind of person, Mr. Fushan, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" ”

He Xinyin glared at Li Zhen fiercely, and scolded angrily: "No one is a three-year-old child, you sold all the city, what else is there to say?" In the past, the surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang were secretly smuggling, but now they are good, they are on the table, smuggling in the open! For the sake of hundreds of thousands of tax silver, the people in the southeast were sold? Tang Yi, ask yourself, are you worthy of the teacher's lesson, and worthy of Yang Minggong's spirit in the sky? ”

Tang Yi put the tea bowl down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fushan, this official is indeed not a gentleman, but he is worthy of the four words of the unity of knowledge and action!" If you want to find out what's going on, I'll take you to a place, and everything will be clear. ”

He Xinyin sneered: "It won't be to take us to a place where no one is there to click, right?" ”

Tang Yi waved his hand, and in an instant, hundreds of soldiers poured out from all directions, all carrying weapons, facing the three people.

"He Daxia, when it comes to kung fu, you can't even beat Brother Yuan Jing, should I waste that thought?"

He Xinyin was so choked that he had nothing to say, and Li Zhen hurriedly played a round. "Let's take a look, let's go and see." Pulling and dragging, Tang Yi took Hai Rui and the three of them into the carriage, and under the protection of the soldiers, they came out of the yamen and crossed several streets. It wasn't until he arrived at Nanguan that Tang Yi jumped out of the carriage, pointed to a wide mansion and said, "Brother Zhuowu, do you know where this is?" ”

Li Zhen looked at it and couldn't help but be shocked: "Isn't this Pu Shougeng's old mansion?" ”

"yes!" Tang Yi took his hands and sighed repeatedly.

The name Pu Shou Geng represents a bloody history...... Pu Shougeng was a descendant of Arab merchants who moved to Quanzhou at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Engaged in the spice trade and amassed a huge fortune.

The magnanimous Song people did not discriminate against him because of his foreign blood, on the contrary, they also made him the chief secretary of Anxi County, and later promoted to Chengjielang, controlling the trade between China and foreign countries.

Later, the Mongols broke Lin'an, and Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and other loyal friends protected the two young lords when they went south and passed through Quanzhou. Pu Shougeng despicably invited Song Duanzong into the city under house arrest, and secretly colluded with the Yuan soldiers. When the Yuan soldiers went south, Pu Shougeng dedicated Quanzhou to the Yuan soldiers and slaughtered his former master.

The clans of the Southern Song Dynasty and the gentry of Quanzhou died tragically at the hands of tens of thousands of people.

This man's bestiality was far from over, and he sacrificed all his ships to the Yuan soldiers. Assist the Yuan soldiers to chase and kill the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, until Yashan, there are many crimes, and it is difficult to write.

Although Pu Shougeng was born in the Great Song Dynasty, he did not have a trace of gratitude for this land. It's a white-eyed wolf.

Ironically, he not only did not suffer retribution, but also soared to prominence, won the reuse of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and controlled the city for more than 30 years, and the official went to Zuo Cheng in Fujian Xingzhongshu Province, and the Pu family was extremely noble. It was not until the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty that the Pu family declined.

Pu Shougeng is an out-and-out alien scum, a ferocious wolf, and a shameless butcher...... can give him countless titles, but it is undeniable that Pu Shougeng's more than 30 years at the helm of the city's shipping department is also a glorious moment for Quanzhou to become the world's largest port, shame and glory are so strangely intertwined.

As a native of Quanzhou, Li Zhen certainly knows the Pu family's house, and he once ran into it and dug up a Buddha statue in the ground for ten taels of silver!

It's just that he can't understand why Tang Yi brought them over, with full of suspicions, the three of them followed Tang Yi and entered the Pu family's house, and when they walked in, they could feel a strong exotic style, different from the brick and wood structure of the East, the Pu family used marble building materials, although after more than two hundred years, countless wars and destruction, the people also came to move some stones from time to time, but the foundation is still there, the huge courtyard, the ruins and broken walls have flowers and plants, geometric patterns, clear and recognizable.

Tang Yi led them through the first two floors of the courtyard, until they reached the main hall, and then he stopped, pointed to the plaque on it with his hand, and smiled slightly: "Let's take a look at the three of them." ”

"Quanzhou Tongyi General Chamber of Commerce." Li Zhen frowned, not knowing why. Hai Rui and He Xinyin were still angry, and they couldn't understand it.

At this moment, as soon as the door opened, Wu Tiancheng walked out of it, and when he approached Tang Yi, he smiled and bowed.

"Master, the disciple is fortunate to live up to his life, he has already got the Chamber of Commerce out, and it will be open for business the day after tomorrow."

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Tiancheng hurriedly said: "Master, what are you polite to the old man, besides, opening the sea is a top priority, how dare the disciple slack off." ”

They asked and answered, but the three of Hai Rui were confused, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Tiancheng, you go and talk to the three of you, you can count it as a teacher and hide it from others, and you want to make amends to others." ”

Wu Tiancheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "The three of you are Lord Hai Ruihai, He Xinyin, He Daxia, and Mr. Li Zhen, right?" I can't say anything about this in a few words, so let's come in and talk about it slowly......"

Speaking of which, after Tang Yi opened the sea in Tianjin, he sent Wu Tiancheng south to prepare for the opening of the sea, which was not something that could be done by touching the lower lip with the upper lip, and it was necessary to communicate with the local gentry, and also plan the source of goods and figure out the amount of demand from Western merchants...... All in all, all aspects of homework must be done sufficiently, and it is far easier for Wu Tiancheng to come forward as a traffic banker than Tang Yi.

However, considering that there are too many interests involved in opening the sea, Wu Tiancheng's efforts are all under the table, and only Tang Yi knows it in his heart.

When he went south to Quanzhou, he found that he was facing a very bad situation, when he was in Tianjin, he was facing the Wenxiang Sect, the organization of these people was sloppy, and if they took out enough benefits, they could be disintegrated by dividing them by two.

But the seven surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang are not good, the people are intertwined, the strength is amazing, whether it is on or off the stage, they are all behemoths.

Compromise with them, the city will inevitably change its taste, and Tang Yi will never accept it.

But in a big battle with them, Tang Yi couldn't afford that time, and even after learning about Qingyun'an, whether it was Hai Rui or Qi Jiguang, they all advocated capturing the thief and capturing the king and taking them down.

Only Tang Yi smelled a different smell, maybe that Qingyun'an was the bait thrown by the seven surnames. Once you check it hastily, it is estimated that you will not get anything, and you will cause a lot of trouble.

I'm afraid that people are secretly ready to impeach the chapter, no need for anything else, as long as they prevaricate for two or three months, even if they win, they will be painful, and if they want to go to sea on a large scale, they can only wait until the winter of next year, what is the difference between that and losing!

After thinking about it, Tang Yi finally found a way, that is, the Ming Xiu Plank Road was darkened by Chen Cang.

Clearly he made a scene with the seven surnames, making them mistakenly think that they couldn't bear the pressure and finally surrendered, but secretly, he asked Wu Tiancheng to quickly lay out, and used Pu Shougeng's old house as the address of the General Chamber of Commerce to build a good trade team.

Easier said than done, Tang Yi became famous in Suzhou, the traffic industry is huge, Tianjin opens the sea and is clean, no matter how rampant the seven surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang are, they will not think that Tang Yi will surrender casually.

So at this time, the three major actors appeared, Hai Rui rushed in front, He Xinyin and Li Zhen happened to come to help, they tried their best and used all kinds of relationships, as if they were using the strength of milk, so that the seven surnames mistakenly thought that Tang Yiqian was poor in donkey skills. It was they who successfully forced Tang Yi to sign the alliance under the city.

But how did they know that the moment they got the agreement, Tang Yi almost laughed, with this agreement, the seven surnames would be unlucky.

Wu Tiancheng told the past, and the three of them frowned.

"Lord Tang, why am I still confused?" Li Zhen smiled bitterly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Hehe, to put it bluntly, it's nothing, what is the city, isn't it just a bunch of houses, some office scribes. The core lies not in the three words of the city, but in the function of trade and trade. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "I set up the Tongyi General Chamber of Commerce, stipulating that all internal and external goods must go through the quality inspection and valuation of the General Chamber of Commerce, and then the General Chamber of Commerce collects the silver on behalf of the General Chamber of Commerce, and the silver collected is directly handed over to me, and the goods that have not been inspected by the General Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to circulate." ”

Li Zhen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "My lord, didn't you abolish the City Division?" ”

"Brother Zhuowu, don't talk nonsense, the City Ship Division is the yamen of the imperial court, who dares to abolish it, the City Ship Division is still in charge of the tribute trade, and it can also collect taxes and silver, of course, but it is not compulsory." Tang Yi said with an oath.

Poof, poof, poof!

Three mouthfuls of old blood spurted out of their lips, and Hai Rui, Li Zhen, and He Xinyin were all injured internally.

They suddenly felt that the seven surnames were 10,000 times more noble than Tang Yilai, and the methods they used were at best despicable and shameless.

When I got to Tang Yi, I was shameless, there was no compulsion to pay taxes, you could say it, you were forced to pay taxes with a knife, there was no compulsion, who would give money stupidly?

They are not stupid, they have been thinking about it for a long time, constantly scrutinizing Tang Yi's methods, except for some shameless exceeding the bottom limit, everything else is perfect!

Aren't your seven surnames going to be the city department, I will give you the city department, ostensibly paying tribute and collecting taxes and silver, but the real power is not transferred to the general chamber of commerce.

In other words, the seven surnames just got an empty shell, and then went to see the so-called covenant, which is not only ridiculous, but also very insidious!

Just an empty shell, you have to take out 1.2 million taels in the first year, and then you have to take money every year, 750,000 next year, and 1 million the year after...... Just thinking about these astronomical figures, it's time to pay a moment of silence to those people. (To be continued.) )
