"This ......"

Sheng Yelin couldn't get off the stage because of a word, his face couldn't help but be embarrassed, and he looked at Sheng Yeyun, who was sitting at the top, and could only endure this breath and sit back in his seat sullenly.

Now the prosperity of the Sheng Mansion depends on the third child, otherwise why dare to move the Wu family, a century-old family?

Sheng Mansion is one of dozens of Chinese families in Batavia, originally ranked outside the top 20 and belonged to a merchant family with medium to lower strength.

Now there is a leader of "Kapitan", and Sheng Yeyun is the title of barony personally awarded by His Majesty King Wilhelm I of the Netherlands, and the family's momentum has soared, and he has faintly become the leader of the Chinese world.

The old god Sheng Yeyun sat on the top of the head, looked at the sullen second brother Sheng Yelin, and then looked at the eldest brother Sheng Yetian, who was as calm as an old dog, and knew that it was okay to let him do things step by step, and he should be exempted from making ideas.

"What the second brother said, I think it is feasible."

Sheng Yeyun slowly said what he thought in his heart, and Sheng Yelin immediately turned his anger into joy, but Sheng Yeyun ignored him and continued;

"The Wu family is indeed a century-old family, and it is also one of the top families in Batavia, but the husband is not guilty and guilty.

Since I was appointed as "Jiabidan", all Chinese chambers of commerce have said that only the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce represented by the Wu family seems to be high-minded, and only sent someone to send a generous gift, but the head of the family, Wu Qingshan, has avoided it.

Now I will use the Wu family to kill chickens and monkeys, not only the tea mountain will be handed over to me, but the Wu plantation will also be handed over to me.

Hum...... Now I am a tax collector, doing things for the Governor's Palace, and for this tax evasion, the recovery of the deficit over the years can make the Wu family want to die, and obediently offer the family wealth with both hands. ”

"Wonderful, that's a good idea." Sheng Yelin's case applauded.

"Either you don't do it, or you want to do it." Sheng Yeyun's elegant face was as cold as frost, and the words he said made the atmosphere of the council hall three points colder;

"The Wu family has a lot of descendants in Australia, and it is said that they are not bad there, and they think they have some back-ups, so they disobey the decree of the Governor's Palace, and they will use thunderous means to exterminate this kind of family that eats inside and outside."

There have been more than 30 years of gold rush in Australia, and in the entire Southeast Asian region, there are many overseas Chinese who have gone to Australia to look for development opportunities, with tens of thousands of people.

The richer and stronger Queensland becomes, the stronger the siphoning effect on the Chinese diaspora living in Southeast Asia.

Among them, of course, Chinese expatriates from the Dutch East Indies are indispensable.

Sheng Yeyun showed a fierce look on his face, and commanded directly; "Second brother, you take a team of volunteers to seal the Wu family's tea mountain and plantation, if there is anything, let Wu Qingshan negotiate with me directly, you tell him that this is an extraordinary time, you can choose a way to save money or life, I will only give him ten days."

"Good...... I'll go. Sheng Yelin stood up happily and strode out of the meeting hall.

There was silence in the council room

Sheng Yeyun tasted the tea unhurriedly, waiting for the eldest brother Sheng Yetian to ask.

Sure enough

Sheng Yetian held back for a while, and finally couldn't help but persuade; "Third brother, now that he has suddenly ascended to a high position, he must take into account the perception and evaluation of the Chinese community, and he must not do anything too drastic, because things are not beautiful."

"Wind review? Hey...... Wind reviews can't be eaten as food. ”

"Although our Sheng family has been a businessman for generations, but the ancestral legacy is harmonious with neighbors, being kind to others, working diligently, and being humble will not be wrong, third brother, you are now very dignified in front of the ghosts, but the ghosts are not the same heart as us after all, the Sheng family has been rooted in Batavia for 70 years, and it is indispensable to help each other with the Chinese wang clan, and it is not all offended."

"Big brother's words are wrong, I am the leader of "Jiabidan", and some Chinese nobles are not convinced, but these fools have forgotten whose world Batavia is? Sheng Yeyun gently put down the teacup, and the ruthlessness in his eyes flashed; Don't mention any stupid words to help each other, the Wu family is the target of my prestige, and the Sheng family also needs the Wu family's wealth accumulated for a hundred years to strengthen itself, which is the best of both worlds. ”

"Since you've thought it through, I'm not going to say it."

"The second brother is going to take over the tea mountain plantation, the Wu family's tea mountain is more than 100 kilometers away from here, big brother, you also go with you, bring more people to check the accounts, and then I will settle accounts with the Wu family."

"Uh...... Well, I'll take a couple of tents with me in the tea house. ”

"Yes."

Sheng Yetian naturally took the lead of the third brother, and immediately got up and left after obeying the arrangement, preparing to take over the accounts of the Wu family's Chashan plantation and find out the black material for tax evasion.

If you find the right one, you can't go wrong.

Why?

Over the past 200 years, the attitude of the Dutch colonists towards overseas Chinese has gone through ups and downs.

From the initial vigorous welcome of Chinese immigrants to Batavia to start a business and develop the economy, to the later disdain of the wealth of Chinese immigrants, and fearing that too many immigrants would shake the rule of the Dutch colonists, and finally contributed to the "Red Creek Massacre" in 1740.

It was a very dark history, and the Governor's Office of the Dutch East Indies Company enacted a series of draconian laws restricting Chinese business and property in order to exclude Chinese immigrants from the archipelago.

As a result, the economy has regressed, the countryside has been barren, industries have withered, and the local indigenous people have no way to support the entire trading system......

Today

These harsh old tax laws have long been no longer enforced, but they have not been abolished explicitly, but have adopted a Chinese tax system.

The Chinese leaders were responsible for collecting all kinds of taxes, from commercial tax, profits tax, poll tax to chariot and horse tax, and the tax collector only needed to hand over a total amount of taxes to the governor's palace, and all the other taxes were collected and the excess was collected.

The Dutch Governor's Palace also has no choice, because the Kingdom of the Netherlands has too few people, ruling the huge East Indies region of 17,508 islands, with a population of tens of millions, and the total number of public officials in the Dutch colonial system is less than 2,500.

Sheng Yeyun, as the leader of the Batavian Chinese "Kapitan", controls the power of the tax collectors, and has the power to maintain law and order, interrogate and deal with criminals (excluding Dutch descendants), suppress rebellions, and promote the city's commercial prosperity.

Now that the power is in his hands, he will carry out the order, this is where Sheng Yeyun's confidence lies, he wants to use the harsh punishment and evil law of the past as a sharp blade, and he is naturally invincible.

Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, the person he chose was the rich Wu family, and having great wealth without the power to protect it was the original sin, which was no less than a disaster for the hundred-year-old Wu family.

With the new "Kapitan" ascending to the throne, in this eventful season, Batavia City is changing, and it will usher in a new round of reshuffle.

Red River Valley, Australia

Red Fort

Dance all night and enjoy until dawn.

After waking up early in the morning

Li Fushou bathed and changed clothes according to his usual habits, his hair was wet when he came out of the bathroom, his body exuded the fragrance after bathing, and his face was white and red, and he looked even more heroic.

The European palace-style bed is shrouded in light veils and curtains.

When Madame Fiona, who looked languid, saw him come out after bathing, she stood up and looked at him, and her big beautiful eyes shone inexplicably; "Honey, you really look very tasty!"

"Delicious...... May I understand this as a provocation, who begged for mercy last night? ”

"Uh-huh, if you can...... I also want a daughter. ”

"Fiona, you're a goblin who drains people." Li Fushou sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Fiona's weak and boneless slender waist and kissed her white forehead, and said with a smile; "Don't think about these things all day long, you are still young, and now you have little Charlie, you can have a lot of time to enjoy life, and you can have a lot of contact with those high-ranking officials and ladies, I heard that you have held a reading salon in the circle of noblewomen, I think it's very good."

"Just pass the time of boredom, my dear, I'd rather spend a little more time pestering you."

"Huh...... Okay, I'll spend more time with you in the future, it's okay. ”

Li Fushou responded unintentionally, stood up and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, his clothes were pulled by Fiona, and he sat down unsteadily, and Fiona's delicate body in thin silk was wrapped around like a beautiful snake, and said with a coquettish voice; "My dear, you only come back once in half a month, and I am reluctant to let you go."

"Don't make a fuss, there's still a lot going on today!"

"Dear Earl, you have endless things to do every day, Yesenia and Nicole have been here for more than two months, and you have not seen them, you know...... They're the closest people I'm to! ”

Yesenia is Fiona's mother, Nicole is her sister, after the death of the Earl of Normandy, the mother and daughter crossed the ocean to Australia to join Fiona, and arrived in the Red River Valley more than two months later.

"Oh...... Look at it, I forgot if I didn't say it. Li Fushou suddenly realized, holding the warm and slippery delicate body in his arms with both hands, and gently slapped his buttocks and said;" I'll see you later, huh...... I'll be back early when the business is over in the afternoon, and you'll give notice of a small dinner to welcome Madame Yessenia to the Red Keep, and as for Nicole...... Well, you can go to school with the children, and you can arrange it in the school near the Red Castle......"

"Oh, my Earl, how old is Nicole and still in school, I'm really mad at you."

"Uh...... How old is she? ”

"She was 12 years old when I followed the Earl, and she has turned 17 years old this year, and she is a very beautiful and touching girl." Fiona swayed left and right in disgust, her weak and boneless white delicate body made Li Fushou's ears red, and then her seductive red lips put on Li Fushou's ears, and said angrily; "Nicole has grown into a stunner who charms all beings, if the Earl likes it......"

The words are not finished

Li Fushou had already turned over and slammed it on the soft bed, and shouted with raised eyebrows; "Shut up, you Western demon dare to disturb my Dao heart, the mighty Tianlong is as anxious as the law, and see how I accept your ......"

After speaking, he tore it open with his big hand......
