On the one hand, the relationship between Sun Kehong and the Yamen is very good, and on the other hand, Sun Kehong's methods are really vicious.

When Xu Jie's power was in power, the Sun family fell into bad luck, and many luxury households in Nanya fell into the well together, and then Xu Jie's bad luck, the Sun family soared again, Sun Keyi did things quite restrained, and did not retaliate, after all, he had to take care of the influence of the imperial court, but Sun Kehong was a lame scholar, so he was not so easy to speak.

For example, the Songjiang Wei clan who ate their Sunjia Buzhuang with Xu Jie, was cleaned up by Sun Kehong and couldn't survive and couldn't die.

Wei's went through the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and the first champion after the imperial examination in Songjiang Mansion was in the Wei family, but it was such a wang family, and Sun Kehong tossed off the number of gas, and all the family properties, workshops, acres, family houses, academies, and family halls in the five houses were completely annexed by Sun Kehong in just seven years.

Sun Kehong didn't kill anyone, but he broke the legs of the three Wei's people, let the three of them sit on the swivel chair, and then locked up the one hundred and twenty-seven people in Wei's five rooms in three large courtyards, and he didn't kill anyone, but just locked up, and only sent one meal a day, which was both mental and physical torture.

Such a ruthless method naturally made the Southern Yawang clan grit their teeth with hatred for Sun Kehong, but they were helpless, the Sun family, who was backed by the yamen and surrendered, wanted to move, it was really difficult to reach the sky, and Sun Kehong controlled the Songjiang Ocean Trading Company, offending Sun Kehong was equivalent to having trouble with silver.

Sun Kehong never thought that Xu Jie would die, but Xu Jie was really dead, and he was in prison, Sun Kehong received Sun Keyi's letter, and only then did he know that there were all kinds of signs that Xu Jie was stabbed by the emperor.

After Xu Jie's death, Sun Kehong let Wei go, he really let go, all the family property was returned to Wei intact, Wei thought that he would be locked in a small courtyard and never be able to turn over, because Sun Kehong's two legs were broken by Wei.

There is a head for injustice, there is a debtor, Sun Kehong actually has no way to take Xu Jie, Xu Jie, who has been a person who has been a Yuanfu, and it is the family of Songjiang Banfu, when Yang Tinghe father and son, fought with Emperor Jiajing to that point, Yang Tinghe's son, and even shouted out the country for one hundred and fifty years, the festival of righteous death, is today, with 229 people, cross the Jinshui Bridge into the noon gate, and ambush the gate in Zuoshunmen.

Is that a petition from Fuque? It's simply a rebellion.

Yang Tinghe finally died well, and even the imperial court posthumously presented the Taibao, nicknamed Wenzhong.

The new capital of the Yang family is still the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food.

Sun Kehong never thought that Xu Jie would die well, so for a long time, Sun Kehong vented his grievances on Wei's body.

Sun Kehong let go of Wei, why didn't he let himself go? The monstrous resentment finally came to an end with Xu Jie's death.

But Wei was still afraid, in order to avoid Sun Kehong, Wei's family moved to Beijing last winter.

Sun Kehong has put all his energy into Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank in recent years.

In the whole year of the 7th year of Wanli, the Songjiang Prefecture Commercial Bank sent a total of 25 fleets, a total of 125 five-masted and three-masted ships, and these 25 fleets went to Nagasaki, Ryukyu Naha Port, Luzon Manila, Borneo Brunei, Annam Da Nang, Siam Sukhothai, Java Surabaya Port, Ceylon Colombo and Mughal Surat.

Zheng He's envoy water map in the old text of Zheng He's voyage to the West, after the second year of Wanli began to update the star-drawn transoceanic map and compass needle map, the Songjiang Prefecture Ocean Commercial Bank, the completion of more than seventy percent.

At the same time of showing off his might, Sun Kehong is also walking on thin ice, Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun has been inspecting Songjiang for eight years, next year, Wang Daokun will be transferred, the Ming Dynasty's long-term law, the longest is nine years, for a new governor, at that time, it will not be the current situation.

The new governor will definitely cultivate his own team, and the Sun family will inevitably be abandoned, once a son of heaven and a courtier, just like Gao Gong was the first assistant for so many years during the Longqing period, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was immediately replaced, and the same is true among the people, the new governor will only be extremely jealous of the behemoth Sun family.

At that time, I am afraid that the wall will fall and everyone will push it.

The country of a thousand islands - the Yuanxu Islands, thousands of islands, is one of the few islands suitable for cultivation in the South Sea, more than half of the area of the island is suitable for farming, at present it is found that more than 800,000 hectares of land suitable for planting, and it is very interesting that there are no towering trees here, which is very conducive to reclamation, because it is an island, the habitat of seabirds, and there is no shortage of fertilizer on the island.

It seems a little strange, the country of a thousand islands, thousands of archipelagos are suitable for farming, but it is true, coupled with the large island shaped like a turtle, it is completely enough for their grandson family to take root.

Plantations needed suitable land and abundant slaves, and the country of the Thousand Islands lacked these.

Sun Kehong judged that the only vitality of their Sun family lies in two words, the holy family, if this area can be managed well, rice, palm, sugar cane, sugar cubes, rubber and other products are also urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty.

Running the country of a thousand islands, closely following the steps of His Majesty, opening up with edicts, and winning the hereditary pioneer reward, will inevitably be rewarded by the Holy Family, even if it is no longer used by the new governor as the heart, these Holy Family will not be able to protect the Sun family, and the Sun family will have to go to sea for refuge, and there is a place to stay.

"The big cannibals are good at buying and selling slaves, the quality is high, and the slaves who buy and sell have knocked off the bells, this method can also be learned when it is developed in the future." Sun Kehong closed his notebook, and in a thick memo, he recorded his goal for this year, which was to open up at least ten to twenty plantations by the end of the year.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, Sun Kehong is quick to think, and still likes to write things down on memos, he has a fountain pen given to him by the Ming Emperor in his hand, and the ink is ink, not smoke ink.

On the sea where there is no wind and three feet of waves, a hard pen is more convenient than a soft pen.

"Mr. Shang, several owners have been waiting for a long time." The secretary whispered that the wind was changing, and the port had become busy, and the goods that had been piled up for a winter were almost silted up, and a flood outlet was needed to discharge the flood, and this flood outlet was the new port of Songjiang Prefecture.

Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank, clear water, green trees, ancient walls, leaky windows, stone mountains, small bridges, curved corridors, pavilions, pavilions, gray carvings reflect each other, Sun Kehong's swivel chair was pushed to the Wuxian Hall, Wuxian Hall, hanging three plaques, entertainment concessions, daily thrift and forbearance, these three plaques are the emperor's own gold-lettered signboards.

"I've seen Mr. Sun Shang." More than a dozen people dressed in silk and satin stood up to salute.

Sun Kehong looked at the worsted woolen shirt on his body, then looked at the Luo shirt of these people, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, sit down and talk." ”

Nanya is the largest raw silk production area in the Ming Dynasty, and the Susong area is the largest silk production area, so even the silk that the imperial court is in short supply of, there are also wealthy merchants, which is disrespectful, money is indeed a devil, making people have an illusion of the power they have, an illusion that as long as they have money, they can do anything.

"I already know very well what you mean, and I don't talk so much nonsense, last November, we identified fifteen fleets, and we only paid a deposit at that time, if you want to return, it's still too late." Sun Kehong sat in his place and watched everyone speak.

The business model of Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank is a temporary one-time subscription, each fleet, by the initiator to invest a part of the funds and goods, and then from the hands of others to raise a part of the funds and goods, and then within the agreed time, the goods will be transported to the ship, when the ship returns, empty the goods, after deducting the fare, begin to distribute profits.

This model has been implemented for the seventh year since the establishment of Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank.

Shipping fare is very expensive, the benefits of sea trade, more than fifty percent is the shipping fare, which is also the reason why Jingshi Yanxinglou Trading House is so sought after for ship tickets, everyone is a shipowner, is lying down to make money.

Such expensive shipping fares are often in short supply, because the Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank not only participates in private commercial banks, but also participates in a lot of official trade, such as transporting silver and sulfur to the Japanese country, transporting fish oil to Ryukyu to send military supplies, going to Luzon to pull copper, grain and oil, etc., and even having to bear 1.2 million stone of grain shipping.

Wuxi Gao's Gao Tianxing said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun Shang, you are in the imperial court, what can you say, there are so many shipyards in the imperial court, and the errand of shipping grain, can you let the imperial court come by itself?" We are all merchant ships, and if there is a little bit of a difference in the shipping of grain, it will be a matter of losing our heads. ”

"But it's not, what Gao Gong said is reasonable." Lu Shen hurriedly echoed: "If you organize these more than 100 three-masted ships into a fleet, at least a dozen can be formed, and this round trip will be at least 800,000 silver." ”

Sun Kehong shook his head and said: "This is not negotiable, you are all the patriarchs of the wang family, each family has endless hairpins, poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation, and it is extremely easy to find someone to play the music, you like to say it, you go to say it, anyway, I won't say it." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty recently invested another sum of money in the development of the sea, 10 million silver, and now, he is very poor."

The emperor is so poor that he sells his official beard, touching this brow? Isn't this looking for death? Are you afraid that the riders will not kick the door?

"That's it." Gao Tianxing saw that Sun Kehong said it so clearly, and immediately waved his hand, this is really not what he means alone, these dozen or so patriarchs all have this idea.

Gao Tianxing took a sip of tea, frowned, looked at Sun Kehong and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun Shang, this muffled voice makes a lot of money, everyone is following Mr. Sun Shang to eat, Mr. Sun Shang has found a way, and he actually wants to eat alone, is this a little unreasonable?" ”

Sun Kehong said unhurriedly: "The country of a thousand islands, thousands of islands, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, do you think my Sun Kehong's family can eat it?" ”

"The star maps, needle maps, and proven maps of the stars are all here, as long as they are businessmen of our ocean-going trading firms, they can take them, and I printed three hundred copies."

Sun Kehong never thought about keeping it secret, Gao Tianxing knew the news of the Yuanxu Islands, or Sun Kehong deliberately leaked it, he was menacing today, but unexpectedly, he punched the cotton.

"Mr. Shang is magnificent!" Gao Tianxing had nothing to say, he either really wanted to drive Sun Kehong out of the firm, or he just wanted to take the opportunity to fight for benefits.

Songjiang Yuanhang Firm, this business, Gao Tianxing is self-aware, he really can't play, his ability is not allowed, so his attack, many times, is to make more money, businessmen seek profits, isn't it natural?

Sun Kehong shook his sleeves, took out a document and said: "Everyone, Yuanxu Islands, how much you can take, it depends on the ability of each family, but there are a few rules to be set here, if you oppose it, say it to your face." ”

"First, the Yuanxu Islands can't become a sea bandit's nest, but anyone who hears the news that they have plundered the Ming Dynasty ships should attack it in groups, if it really becomes a sea bandit's nest, then you can only ask the Daming sailors to suppress it."

Lu Shen stretched out his hand and asked suspiciously, "Just can't rob the Ming ships?" ”

"Nature." Sun Kehong looked at Lu Shen and said with a smile: "We are all businessmen of Daming, I am just the general manager of Daming Commercial Bank, where can I manage so widely, we are all out of the house, not to mention taking care of each other, and we should not fall into the ground." ”

"Is this what Mr. Shang meant, or does that master mean?" Gao Tianxing leaned half of his body and asked with a bright look in his eyes.

"I wrote that the slasher was sent to Jingtang, and His Majesty gave Zhu Approval." Sun Kehong revealed the seal on the paperwork in his hand.

"Mr. Shang is really hand-eyed! Awesome or Sun Shang is always awesome! Gao Tianxing stretched out his thumb and knocked down Sun Kehong, not looking at who was standing behind Sun Kehong.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

Sun Kehong often worried that his family would be attacked by a group of people, and he would be unlucky if he lost the blessing of the governor of Songjiang, but he didn't realize at all that how thick the holy family he had on his body was already in the emperor's heart.

Just one thing, Zhu Yijun can remember Sun Kehong for a lifetime, Sun Kehong reported the Fujian Zhao family in the Guiyanwan private market, and eliminated the hidden danger of a huge gap between the Ming Dynasty and Luzon, which is a great credit.

Sun Kehong took the document in his hand, looked at everyone with a complicated face and said: "I often walk by the river, how can there be people who don't get their shoes wet, everyone, I kindly remind you that before the trouble, every family did not support the outlaws, and the troubles came, these outlaws have become mourning stars, ghosts who lead the way, and the robbery is not a serious business after all. ”

When they can hold it down, it is naturally a sharp weapon, but when they can't hold it down, the outlaws will back, and they will suffer for 26 years.

If Zhu Yijun is here, he will definitely be surprised by Sun Kehong's vision, the slave changes in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty are countless.

"Second, the plantation is a slave, it should be castrated, if something goes wrong, don't complain." Sun Kehong said the second rule, no one asked, let alone questioned.

It's more interesting, the Hui people and the Ming people use Zang Harvest, Cangtou, Exorcism, World Servants, and labor tools, all like castration, but the red-haired fan is not like this, the red-haired fan does not need castration, and the plantation is a bunch of strings.

In the plantation, the number of slave owners and minions must be lower than that of slaves, and if you don't need to castrate slaves, sooner or later it will be the opposite.

"Third, it is to reclaim at least more than 50 percent of the acres of barren rice fields, and the coastal defense inspection will be inspected every year, don't take chances, this winter, the Nanya River is frozen, and if you pull back some grain, it will be regarded as accumulating yin virtue." When Sun Kehong said this, he looked at the people with different faces, and felt that he had read the sage books for half his life, and they were all bullshit.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

It's better to say than to sing, let them plant some rice, one by one is more uncomfortable than killing them, and of course the plantation grows cash crops to earn more.

"Fifty percent is too much?" Gao Tianxing's face was embarrassed.

"Fifty-four plantations that have belonged to Huangzhuang are like this everywhere, at least more than fifty percent of the rice, overseas is not a place outside the law, that is also a royal law, at least the Yuanxu Islands, is a place within the reach of His Majesty's sailors." Sun Kehong did not talk to them in the vernacular, and directly threatened with force.

Defy? Hold on.

"When I go back, I read more contradictions and say that they are all big parents, not stragglers, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, and he does not hesitate to think about his own life." Sun Kehong taught another lesson, these guys should all migrate to Xitu City, feel the emperor's prestige, and know how to read.

The young man who covers the luxury household in Xitucheng has a contradictory statement.

Gao Tianxing, Lu Shen and other luxury households, they all just want to enjoy the rights, it is impossible to bear a little responsibility, the lonely sun is not born, the lonely yin is not long, how can there be such a good thing?

Da Ming Xingwen has been martial for so many years, in fact, there are internal reasons, Zhenwu's words, once the emperor controls the violence, for the luxury household, he can only hold back.

"Fourth, don't be yin, this article, you all know the weight in your hearts, if you want people to know, unless you don't do it, it's best not to touch it, in case you are caught, the whole family will suffer together." Sun Kehong finished reading the documents in his hand, the main content is these four articles, and there are twelve articles, all of which are regulations for fines, and they are sent to read for themselves.

Sun Kehong looked at everyone and said very solemnly: "I got the news that Mizhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Fujian, Guangzhou and Luzon will all establish ocean trading houses within this year. We occupy the right time, place and people, the land of the nine provinces of the great river, the distribution of the world's department stores, the hydrology is excellent, the commercial bank has been running for so many years, if it is compared with the other five commercial houses, the face is small, and the loss is real silver. ”

"What exactly does this affect?" Lu Shen wanted to know the price of losing.

"Ships and ship leads." Sun Kehong was concise and to the point.

"Wow! That must not be defeated! Gao Tianxing slapped the table, the quota of the ship was not monopolized by their Songjiang Commercial Bank, if they lost to the latecomers, they would lose their face and future.

"Is this Taiyue going to take the test into the law and get the test to be our general manager?" A merchant asked sluggishly.

In a word, the preparation for the establishment of other commercial banks is to put pressure on Songjiang Ocean Commercial Bank, and it is to pass the examination.

In fact, Sun Kehong knows more, these commercial houses will have a general association, which is subordinate to the household department.

"Recently, the Nanyahui set off a fleet, four five-masted ships and a stargazing ship, to follow the ocean current, to Peru and other places, that is, the new world in the mouth of the red hair, and then across the Atlantic, to Ctessi, and then back, everyone, this is a rare opportunity." Sun Kehong talked about another thing, exploring new routes.

Sun Kehong looked around, and sure enough, the best way to deal with the businessmen was still interests, he said with a smile: "What does the new route mean, it goes without saying, this is a good opportunity, and the owners of the Jin merchants and the luxury households in Xitucheng got it together, Your Majesty promised, give the second-class merit reward card, set off in March, and have a month's preparation time." ”

"I'm a little tired, so let's stop here today."

The swivel chair left the Wuxian Hall, and the heads of these noble families still discussed eagerly.

It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital.

At the beginning of February, Songjiang Province welcomed a special fleet, the five-masted ship from the Luzon Governor's Palace, not the four newly deployed Type C, but the extremely rare earliest type A, led the ship back to the Ming Dynasty by the Governor of Luzon, the Marquis of Surabaya surnamed Zhengmao, and his youngest son Yin Zongxin, now twenty-one.

In Songjiang Prefecture, the five-masted ship unloaded 6.4 million catties of copper, 300,000 catties of fish oil, 500,000 catties of palm oil, 140,000 catties of sugar cubes, and so on.

On 17 February, Yin Zhengmao, Yin Zongxin and others entered Beijing from the Deshengmen Military Road and stayed at the Huitong Pavilion Station.

The next afternoon, Yin Zhengmao and Yin Zongxin took two people to the palace to meet His Majesty.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Yin Zhengmao bowed five times and kowtowed, and after four years, Yin Zhengmao saw His Majesty again.

"No courtesy, Yin Butang has crossed the ocean, I am very pleased, look at the reward." Zhu Yijun prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious chanterelle porcelain, the shape of the vessel evolved from the tripod, the shape is like a cornucopia, the yellow glaze is smooth and clean like jade, and the color is bright and glamorous like chanterfat, so it is named Jiaohuang porcelain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Zhengmao took the box containing porcelain, which was both a gift and a symbol of the Ming Emperor's marriage.

Yellow glaze, the most strictly controlled glaze color, golden is the supreme color, Huang Tonghuang, the private yellow glaze died, which means that from the moment of getting the porcelain, Yin Zhengmao's family has become a relative of the emperor.

"Aiqing, sit down and talk, Aiqing is old, so you don't have to go back to Beijing in person in the future, just let Zongxin come over." Zhu Yijun looked at Yin Zhengmao, who had gray temples, and gave him a favor and preferential treatment.

Similarly, it represents that Yin Zhengmao will never see him again, this is the last side, and it may be when the leaves return to their roots.

"Your Majesty, the minister can still eat five bowls of rice and open a bow of 100 catties, a few days ago, the red-haired fan in Mindanao wanted to go out, but was beaten back by the minister." Yin Zhengmao sat down and heard this, and immediately said without hesitation.

Yin Zhengmao can still fight now, this is not that he is talking nonsense in front of the emperor, nor does he think that the emperor is testing whether he is disobedient, it is to state the facts, he can indeed fight.

"I know, but the country has a long monarch, and the society is blessed." Zhu Yijun has his own considerations, the Luzon Governor's Palace, it will take at least 20 to 30 years to transition, before it can truly become the Quartet of the Ming Dynasty, and the historical lessons of the 13 divisions of Jiaozhi during the Yongle period can not be repeated.

This has nothing to do with whether Yin Zhengmao can fight or not.

Yin Zhengmao has many identities, but his current identity is the de facto king of Luzon.

"Minister..."Yin Zhengmao hesitated, but he finally bowed his head and said: "I implore Your Majesty to fulfill your heart of loyalty and filial piety and take back your life." ”

Daming is his home, no matter what the reason, he can't help but return to the Ming Dynasty, once every three years to enter Beijing to post, no matter how short the time, he also set foot on his homeland.

"It's fine." Zhu Yijun thought about it, but he still took back his life and fought for Daming all his life, but he couldn't return to Daming, how cruel this is, there is a great medical officer, and when Yin Zhengmao's body can't bear the fatigue of the boat, it's not too late to give this order.

"Yin Butang, this time, I have to marry the princess back." Zhu Yijun talked about the marriage, and unlike the previous dynasties, the royal marriage was to follow the five-masted ship back to Luzon, instead of establishing the Horse Governor's Mansion in Beijing, and let Yin Zongxin live in the Horse Governor's Mansion.

"Huh? It's not etiquette. Yin Zhengmao was sluggish, he always thought that his youngest son Shang Gong would mainly stay in Jingshi, and by the way, as a proton, but he made trouble for a long time, more like marrying his daughter!

This Yin Zhengmao said that he was not a clan member who was outcast, so no one believed it, going around this circle, no matter how you look at it, it seems to make Yin Zhengmao, a clan relative who is outcast, become her own family again, how can Princess Shang marry someone back?

"The queen mother's meaning, the Ministry of Rites does not dare to disobey." Zhu Yijun explained: "It's a kiss and a kiss, so this is a special case. ”

This is nothing difficult to understand, in fact, it is a kiss in a special time, and it is not a shameful thing, Yin Zongxin is a Han Chinese, and he didn't marry the princess to Fanyi, and he didn't care whether he lived or died.

Special affairs, Empress Dowager Li is not the kind of pedantic person, Zhu Yijun and Empress Dowager Li discussed it a little, and reached an agreement.

The Ming Dynasty's kingization of Luzon, economic, military, political, and cultural fetters are still insufficient, Yin Zhengmao is the substantive king of Luzon, although Yin Zhengmao never felt so, his old department, Zhang Yuanxun and others, also called him Yin Butang, and he is still leading the official position of the military department.

"A princess marrying Luzon is actually for the sake of the Governor's Palace, I know that Aiqing is not suitable for anything overseas, and this marrying a princess, some ambitious people can also take a little bit of their thoughts." Zhu Yijun explained the second reason for this, giving the Luzon Governor's Office a platform for rule in Luzon.

The Governor's Palace of Luzon, covered by the Ming Emperor! Whoever dares to move, Daming Sailor will not tolerate it!

Don't be unpredictable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yin Zhengmao wanted to make a big salute again, and Zhu Yijun waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite.

"How is Eagle Yang Hou fighting in the Strait of Malacca?" Zhu Yijun inquired about the war.

The princess of the Ming Dynasty is still the princess, all of them are built in the palace of the princess, later, there is no silver in the palace, the princesses who are married live in the ten princes' mansions, and the same room is also the concubine to the ten princes' mansions, and in the Chongzhen years, the horses do not go to the ten princes' mansions to have sex with the princess for many months, and the last years of the dynasty are probably like this, and the demons are dancing. Ask for a monthly pass, woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
