Chapter 308: The Red-Eyed Maritime Merchant
Starting from Sanya Bay to Qiongzhou to train and return from the Wa Kingdom, in just two months, Zhao Hengyi has done a lot of things!
Those maritime merchants who witnessed the whole process and had to pay an extra tax and silver in the Japanese country were red with envy.
Why are everyone from the Great Yan Kingdom, you don't know which corner Zhao Hengyi jumped out of, and you became a human being in a circle in the Japanese Kingdom, and those people in the Japanese Kingdom, people's brains are all beaten into dog brains, I originally thought that they would inevitably be hated by the Japanese Kingdom, and even the magnates of the Japanese Kingdom would unite and seek justice like the court of the Great Yan Kingdom, who would have thought that the Japanese people who were like mad dogs on weekdays became licking dogs this time!
gave Zhao Hengyi a silver mountain, not to mention, he even made him the grandfather of the lord of the Japanese country, and finally obtained the god name, are these Japanese people all lard-covered hearts?
For Lao Tzu, these maritime merchants, who have worked hard to bring you the exquisite goods of the Great Yan Kingdom, and found a market for your things that cannot be sold, there is no merit and hard work, right?
But in the face of Lao Tzu and these maritime merchants, you have horizontal noses and vertical eyes, and from time to time there are still Japanese robbers who kill people and rob ships, won't your conscience hurt?
Then Zhao Hengyi's heads are rolling in your country, the daimyo of Kyushu Island is slaughtered, and the only remaining Iijima family is still his lackey, such a guy, it's not too much to call it an enemy who doesn't share the sky, how do you treat him?
I really offered that bastard as a grandfather and a bodhisattva!
Which of those sea merchants who ran ships was not rich and noble, and which one had no foundation in the court?
It is that among these maritime merchants, I don't know how many worthless false titles are rewarded by the imperial court, and they are inconspicuous among serious officials, but in the locality, which one of them is a big family of trench merchants that local officials can't afford to provoke!
In the eyes of such people, Zhao Hengyi, a native bun who has only made a fortune for a few days, is congenitally inferior to them in terms of status.
Now that Zhao Hengyi is thriving in the Wa Kingdom, he looks like a prince, and he originally thought that the domestic court would punish him for what he did in the Wa Kingdom, but who would have thought that he would just send a small chamberlain, and he would just persuade him to return to China as soon as possible with the edict!
It is rumored that there was not even a painful reprimand in the edict, but only to persuade General Jinghai to return to the court as soon as possible, and not to make the Qiongzhou regiment under his command too tired, so as not to cause the soldiers to have a war-weary and home-weary mood......
Is this human speech?
Could it be that those officials in the DPRK and China are blind in their eyes and deaf in their ears?
Above the court, this is a treacherous situation!
I can't hate to have a Qiongzhou regiment in my hand, like Zhao Hengyi's dog thief, raise a sword and raise troops, clear the king's side, and punish adultery!
The resentment of these maritime merchants against Zhao Hengyi is by no means limited to paying an extra amount of tax silver.
To put it bluntly, these guys collectively committed pink eye when their own interests were damaged, and among them, the most fierce words and deeds were the Li family, who burned a cargo ship outside the port of Hirado.
As one of the four major maritime merchants, the Li family has a deep relationship with the family in Shandong.
It is rumored that the Li family was able to gain a firm foothold in the southeast coastal area, and even slowly grew into one of the four major maritime merchants, and the Shandong clan made great efforts in the imperial court!
There has never been love for no reason in this world, and the Shandong clan has spared no effort to support the Li family, and the origin of the Li family has become less important.
Unlike the other three of the four major maritime merchants, the Li family did not blindly focus on the ocean after becoming wealthy.
Maintaining the fine traditions of the family, a considerable part of the large amount of silver obtained by the Li family from maritime trade was invested in the purchase of land.
In Ningbo alone, the Li family has purchased countless manors and fields, and as long as there are ports in other prefectures and counties, the Li family has also purchased a large amount of land!
There are rumors among maritime businessmen that the Li family is the spokesperson of the Shandong family, and all the shares of the entire family's business are in the hands of the Shandong family, and the development direction and investment direction of the Li family are all decided by the Shandong family.
To put it bluntly, the Li family's industries in the southeast are all purchased for the Shandong clan.
As a big family, spreading branches and inheriting the bloodline is originally the top priority, these so-called big families, for them, what dynasty changes, what people suffer, what prosperity and decline, all have nothing to do with themselves!
No matter who is in charge of the world, no matter whether the people are wailing in cold and hunger, nothing can stop their family business from prospering and passing it on from generation to generation!
If these rumors about the Li family are all true, then it is the behavior of the Shandong clan, which is similar to Zhao Hengyi, and it is not uncommon to open a base.
The Li family, who was greatly wronged in the Wa Kingdom, didn't care whether Zhao Hengyi had the protection of Concubine Chen, let alone the power of Concubine Chen's officials in the court.
In the eyes of the Li family or the Shandong clan behind them, the so-called Concubine Chen is just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, duckweed without roots.
The water waves ripple slightly, these duckweed have to swing with the water waves, the wind and waves are a little bigger, the rain is a little more urgent, these duckweed will be blown away by the rain and wind, except for a mess, nothing can be left.
Only a family like ours, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is the existence of the mountains and rocks, let the rain and wind blow, I will not move!
That Zhao Hengyi, a clown-like figure who jumped off the beam, jumped up and down when he gained momentum, dared to burn my Li family's cargo ship today, and dared to collect my Li family's tax silver, so what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Do you want all the wealth and land accumulated by my Li family to be dedicated to him?
With the wealth of the Li family, what if Zhao Hengyi is still not satisfied?
Will you come directly to Shandong and want to make some requests face-to-face with us, the family that has been inherited for thousands of years?
Under the instigation of the Li family, the real power of the family was full of righteous indignation, and some people even clamored to sanction Sanya Bay!
The kind of fool who wants to do something to Sanya Bay is naturally ignored by everyone.
Now the whole world knows that Zhao Hengyi and his Qiongzhou regiment can fight, and they are directly looking for trouble in Sanya Bay, isn't it death?
That kind of stinky hill eight, if you really came to your house with soldiers, could you still expect the officials of Guangzhou Mansion to protect you?
As a big family that has been operating in the southeast for more than 100 years, the Li family has too many means to deal with the emerging forces such as Zhao Hengyi and Sanya.
If you can't get a head-on conflict, let's play some tricks.
As the spokesperson of the Shandong clan in the southeast, the Li family's actual requirements are not high, as long as they earn back the damaged dough, as long as they are the same as the Tang family's fleet in the future, they do not need to pay additional taxes and silver, they will be satisfied.
So under the guidance of such an idea, Song San, who had been running from place to place to buy all kinds of needed materials for Sanya Bay, suffered.
Steward Song's leg was broken, and the inn where he stayed was also set on fire, burning him to the ground, almost burning him to death inside.
