For the nobles above the Ming Dynasty, cloth or silk is just an expedient measure.

The thinking of these old foxes is also changing rapidly.

For them, it is obvious that silver is not as fragrant as the weaving yard, after all, the silver will shrink, but the weaving yard is an old hen that has been laying golden eggs.

But porcelain, silk, cloth, these well-known golden hens, have long been famous chickens.

Look at the Xu family, who has already played out their brains with the merchants, these old foxes need a new golden hen, and soon someone will find such a golden hen.

This is also a commodity close to constant production, but in addition to maintaining value, it can also create its own value, and the tyrannical people in the southeast call such a hen that lays golden eggs "boats".

"Pires, you have seen it, there are so many ships, the imperial court has sent me news, that is, in the past two years, more than 1,000 large ships launched in the seven southeastern provinces every year can be mentioned more than 1,000."

"A thousand ships a year! In our 36 islands in Zhoushan, there are only 1,000 boats that can be launched, and the imperial court does not count the boats. ”

"In less than ten years, at least the East China Sea will be the ...... of China's internal waters"

Before Wang Zhi finished speaking, Pires, the Westerner beside him with a dead face, interrupted: "Wang, if you have something to say, you should say it directly." ”

Wang Zhi was not annoyed, but sat back in front of the coffee table with a smile, took a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and then said: "The imperial court still calculates taxes as copper." ”

Hearing this, the Westerners felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Eyes hollowly walked towards the front deck.

What you see is the boundless, hot shipyard, all kinds of large ships have begun to take shape.

Wang Zhi also followed and smiled: "How?" Wang didn't lie to you, right? ”

In the face of absolute strength, Wang Zhi didn't bother to hide, and the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't have the slightest intention of hiding.

After all, as long as you are not blind, you can see clearly.

Piress nodded blankly.

"That's a good ......"

With that, he leaned forward, and wanted to jump into the sea with his head down.

It's just that before he fell into the water, he was grabbed by Wang Zhi.

"No, Lao Pi, listen to me, we can still do this business, we have the goods, you can give it according to the price."

Pires slammed into the boat.

"Wang! Our fleet was financed by the king, and the king's private money was all on these ships of silver...... The price of silver is so low that we have to go back with two empty boats, and you might as well let me die on this sea!" ”

"Half a year and half a year, I've been waiting on this sea for almost a year, when will the Ming Imperial Court be able to calculate taxes into silver?"

Wang Zhi whispered in Huizhou: "Your pants have been compensated, and the imperial court will be taxed as silver......

"Wang, what are you talking about?"

"Ah, Lao Pi, you also saw it, I, Wang Zhi, am an old ordinary person, and I can talk about such court affairs as grass people, and I can't help it."

"It's really not possible, you wait a little longer, this time we will let it out, and if we wait for another three years and five years, I don't believe that I can't wait for a time when the imperial court calculates taxes into silver!"

Pires looked up at Wang Zhi in despair.

"In three years and five years, can the Ming Dynasty really calculate taxes as silver? Shopkeeper Wang may guarantee? ”

Wang Zhi's voice also decreased.

"I'm just an ordinary person, how do I know...... What if. ”

Pires grabbed Wang Zhi's hand and said, "Wang, my five sons and two daughters are all in the hands of the king, if I don't go back, I am afraid they will not be able to live." ”

"I've given birth to so many, two more." Before Wang Zhizhi could say anything, he swallowed the words, looked at Pires cautiously and said, "That'...... Do you or don't do this deal? If you don't do it, in a few years, the tax will be calculated as silver and the tax will be calculated as silver, and we will go to your Western sellers ourselves, and you will also lose money at that time. ”

"Let my first mate dispose of it for me, and I will give my king an explanation."

As soon as Pires's voice fell, Wang's straight old face was pulled.

"Then you TM said it earlier, Wang Xuan! Entertain the old leather on my behalf. ”

Just as Wang Zhi was about to turn around and leave, a bang sounded next to Pires, who was originally sitting in the bow of the boat.

"God bless my king!"

"Bang!"

Hearing the movement on the deck, Wang Yi rushed out with a knife.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?"

Wang Zhi took out a piece of white cloth to cover his mouth and nose and said, "The dog is dead." ”

"Damn, it's better to let him jump into the sea, dirty Lao Tzu's boat."

Wang Zhi angrily kicked Pires's corpse, and then shouted in the distance: "Turn the rudder!" Return! ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Yu took two sailors to wipe the blood stains on the deck, and said helplessly: "Father-in-law, this is the first time this year." ”

"The eighth, I'm counting them, and four of them are walking together."

The turbulent waves that Daming is experiencing will eventually extend beyond the country.

The first is the 36 port of Zhoushan, the hub of the Ming Dynasty and the foreign ocean.

This era was already closed, and by the time these Portuguese and Spanish merchants drove to the Ming Dynasty to learn that the tax was copper, the silver had already been brought over.

If you really pull the silver back, their whole family will die more rhythmically.

Those who waited were hard to consume, and were ready to wait for the imperial court to calculate taxes and buy silver ashore.

Those who couldn't afford to wait admitted it on the spot and pulled it down.

After disposing of Pires's body, Wang Yu stood on the deck tremblingly and whispered, "Father-in-law, this ...... This imperial court calculates taxes for copper, so the silver is worthless, what are we doing with so much silver? ”

Wang Zhi said awe-inspiring with the sea breeze: "Wang Xuan, how many times have I told you, making money is making money, but we must always have a compassionate heart." ”

"Kong said, there are friends from afar, and they don't want to talk about it."

"People come from so far away, can you just because the imperial court calculates taxes as copper, don't sell things to others, and let people go back empty-handed?"

"I can't!"

Wang Wei lowered his head and muttered, "I still can't figure it out......"

Wang Zhi hated that iron was not made of steel, and knocked on Wang Xuan's head with a fan.

"There will always be a day when taxes will be counted as silver in the imperial court, right?"

"When the tax is calculated in silver, won't the silver in our hands be worth much? As soon as the silver price of the Ming Dynasty rises, it will be able to bring up the overseas silver price in three months, and the wood of the South Seas and the copper of the West are all in demand! ”

Wang Wei suddenly realized.

"Isn't this just a robbery?"

This is called mercy! We don't spend money, how can the Fan people make money, the Fan people have become poor ghosts, how can we buy our things? Communicate with each other, communicate with each other, understand it or not, they have to thank us! ”

"Read less of those Raush's exit notes, and more of the books that have been learned!"

Wang Yu nodded indiscriminately.

“…… After the robbery, I have to let the fan thank us...... It's still ruthless in the court. ”

As the boat sailed into Ligang, Fang Tingzhu was already on the dock.

"Big shopkeeper, something happened."

Wang Zhi didn't answer Fang Tingzhu's words, and commanded himself: "Tell Pires that first mate, prepare to hand it over, and then ask him if he wants this corpse, if not, we will help him throw it into the sea to feed the fish...... Ah no, buried at sea. ”

After giving these orders, Wang Zhi spoke: "What's the big deal? ”

"The house slaves of the Matsuura family came to us a few days ago, saying that the imperial court had detained their family boys."

"A Songpu family, detained, detained, Yingtianfu is where Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country, this is a big deal!"

Fang Tingzhu bowed his head and said, "It's not just the Matsuura family. ”

"How many more?"

"More than twenty, more than four hundred."

Wang Zhi's expression gradually stiffened.

"And ......"

"And?!"

"The people of the Korean and Ryukyu families were also detained by the imperial court."

Wang Zhi gasped when he heard this.

"The imperial court copied the country's eunuch?! There has to be a saying, right? ”

"There is no explanation, the Matsuura family also said that if they committed a crime, they will admit it, but the court will not give any explanation, it is really a bit excessive, I heard that it was taken away from the couch in the middle of the night."

Wang Zhi frowned.

"Send a letter to Zou Wang, and ask Zou Wang to inquire about McFu's side."

"Whoa."

——

On the streets of Jinling, many old and young people are waiting for Ying Tianfu to give porridge as usual.

Ti can't stop roaming the streets.

From time to time, a few people dressed as scholars were pulled out and dragged away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have caught the wrong person, I am a native of Jinling!"

"Say you're out of town? Hurry to shout! ”

There may be a few resistances, but after all, they are all scholars, where is Ti Wei's opponent.

Jin Yiwei's actions soon alarmed the guild hall and the Ministry of Rites.

The main reason is that the Fusi of Nanjing Beizhen is too close to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and the ghosts cry wolves every day in the edict prison, which is more lively than the zoo.

"Please let me know, Gu Kexue of the Ministry of Rites asks to see me."

Gu Kexue was a little impatient and stood outside the door with the three envoys of the same hall.

"Gu Butang, Ning Xian said it, no one will see it."

Gu Kexue looked at the three envoys behind him helplessly.

"Did you hear that? It's not that I don't care, it's really that I can't speak well, do you want to ......? ”

Before Gu Kexue's words fell, Ning Jue's voice sounded from inside the edict.

"You are blind! Who said I was gone?! Didn't you see the guy behind Gu Butang?! ”

"That's a barbarian, too! Gu Butang sent people here, and he was stunned! ”

Before Gu Kexue could come back to his senses, a team of brocade-clothed guards pounced out of the edict like wild dogs, kicking the three envoys to one of them.

"Damn, I can't find you all over the city, so I sent it to the door myself?!"

Gu Ke learned that Ning Jue would not give himself face.

But Gu Kexue never expected that he would become a door-to-door delivery for Ning Jue.

"No, in the end, Jinyi Wei must have an explanation for taking people, and he is also an envoy, so he must be charged!"

It was only at this time that Ning Jue appeared from the edict.

"The statement is simple, they can take as much as they want from "Biography" and "Ganquan Collection".

"But the people of the Ming Dynasty exchanged their lives for practical learning, and they can't bring out the Ming Dynasty on a single page."

Gu Kexue was stunned and said, "Can ...... In the end, you're abusing power! ”

"That's right, Gu Butang hurry up and go to me."

"So many people died in Jinling, they want to come over and eat ready-made?"

"Dreaming!"
