Naturally, the bright Ming fleet could not hide the Dutch merchant ships floating on the sea.

These businessmen, who usually seem to be gentlemen when dealing with Da Ming, actually understand that they are just a layer of disguise.

The news soon reached the ears of Plitt of the Dutch East India Company.

His expression didn't change at all.

But the other company representatives on the side once again knocked on the conference table in front of them deafeningly.

"Count Plitt! I think we're so simple as that...

Oh! That is, the current Taiwan is handed over to the Ming Dynasty, which is simply a stupid decision... We can rely on it to get more benefits! ”

The hoarse roar did not bring a little ripple in Prit's mood.

I saw his eyes staring at the company representative who just spoke...

Then he said slowly: "If any of you can represent the interests of the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch Republic, then I feel that you can all start a war with the Ming instead of wasting time here discussing a matter that is destined to be inconclusive." ”

"How can there be no results? As long as we..."

"Just what?"

Boom! The dinner plate was smashed.

Pulit controlled his hand, and did not directly paste the refreshments in his hand on the corporate waste of this indigenous woman who only knew how to spend money and play with Nanyang.

Instead, he spoke again and said, "You don't think? The current Ming Kingdom is still the same as before, right? Take control of Dongfan Island .... I praise you for your courage, but don't you think this island is too close to Fujian?

Such a place .... It is destined to be the territory of the Ming Dynasty forever! It won't change in the slightest..."

Plitt's attitude was a bit tough, which made the other company representatives on the side a little dissatisfied, although many people agreed with what he said.

can directly tear the skin of the face, which makes many people a little uncomfortable.

The argument continues, but Pulit feels a little tired... Feeling through his pocket, he took out a pack of cigarettes produced by Da Ming for these foreign merchants.

"Giving Dongfan Island to Daming was a decision made by the Dutch East India Company at that time, if you have any opinions.... Think about where you were and what you were doing. ”

Plitt spoke in a soft tone, but everyone could hear something different about it.

"Then we should also find Da Ming... Let's ask for some hard work... After all, it was we who drove out the Spaniards and the Portuguese in the first place..."

"Alright... Look slowly, the trouble of the Spaniards is still to come, at the mouth of the Red River in Annam, the Spaniards actually arrogantly challenged the Shandong sailors of the Ming Dynasty, and now they have all died in the belly of the fish..."

Hiss... Many of the people present suddenly gasped and fell into shock.

One of them stood up directly and said in disbelief.

"Where did such news come from, His Excellency Earl Plit? We have not seen any news about this naval battle in various newspapers and periodicals such as the Jingshi Daily or the Daming Monthly. ”

Pulit slowly picked up the teacup on the side, and then said, "I naturally have my own way, but what I want to tell you is... The current Daming sailors are definitely not made of dirt, they can make the Spaniards suffer, why should they be afraid of our ships? ”

These words were very weighty, which made many people present stunned in their hearts. After all, for a long time, everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty had belonged to a kind of sea for a long time. But the coastal defense forces are not too strong.

Basically, maintaining order in the South Seas can only be solved by pirates like Zheng Zhilong.

"Your Excellency... So can we just watch like this? ”

"It's not either. We can find a way to find trouble with the Spaniards, preferably with the help of this news. To provoke a war between the Ming and the Spaniards, there was only war .. In order to maximize our interests! ”

All the representatives of the Dutch East India Company present, including Pulit, had a little playfulness in their expressions.

Everyone also understood that if the Ming and the Spaniards were at odds, then the share of trade between Europe and the East would once again be redetermined.

The Dutch East India Company was sure to get a larger share of trade in this process, and it would also represent greater economic benefits.

.....

Wa domestic.

Since a large number of Japanese banknotes were customized in the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu's small life has gradually come to an end.

But he also felt that something was wrong... For example, there are many local daimyo who say that the price of almost everything is rising rapidly.

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason ... The silver was spent on trade with the Ming Dynasty, so most of the goods returned from the trade were also put into the people and sold, in this case, the prices of most ordinary goods in the people should be lower and lower.

How can it become more expensive?

But what he doesn't know is... On the surface, the silver of the Japanese country as a whole is showing a trend of outflow, and a large number of commodities should have flooded the entire market.

In fact, the Ming court, which secretly made it bad behind it, has counted every step.

Inside the island of Kyushu.

A young man was looking at the man in front of him who was dressed incompatible with him with a dull face, and his handsome face showed a bit of perseverance that did not belong to his age, but he couldn't help but say curiously after being silent for a while: "Who are you?" ”

The other shook his head, and then said, "It doesn't matter who I am... The important thing is whether you want your family to have a good life..."

Saburo Tanashita dreamed of living a good life, but although he made more money from selling grain this year than last year, he heard from his mother that he could buy a lot less in the market than last year, and his original wish to send him to school this year was shattered again.

I didn't blame my parents, after all, in this small place where he is...

Reading is simply a luxury.

But the man in front of him spoke again: "You know what? To live a good life is to die... Only rebellion will allow all of you to live well. ”

Saburo Tanashita didn't hesitate at all, he could say that the current life was unbearable, after all, after every year, in addition to the grain handed in...

The few grains that could be sold became even less valuable this year.

"I do!"

"Then come with me...."After the man finished speaking, Saburo Tanashita followed him.
