Lin Haoran naturally heard the voice-over, and also knew that Wang Fang was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Wang Bai, but he still smiled and said: "As the official said, you can't give up the near and seek the far, and pick the fruits that can be picked." I can still meet with the ministers here today, if I go to the Yamen of the political envoy to meet the political envoy, I am afraid that I will have to eat the closed door! ”

After a pause, he looked at Wang Fu and added pointedly: "In the end, I won't be able to catch anything!" ”

It is said that he should not have said it so explicitly, and when the word reached Wang Bai, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. It's just that he understands that he has to do something, but he can't look too forward.

Now, when he said this, there is undoubtedly a taste of "surrendering".

"I don't have any good for you here!" Wang Fang heard what he meant, but he was also an old fox in officialdom, but he smiled vaguely.

Hum!

Diao Laixi snorted coldly and looked at Lin Haoran like an idiot. Regardless of Wang Bai's status as the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, even if he is just an ordinary political envoy, how could the teacher take the liberty of offending him.

"I'm afraid that Lord Ministry has misunderstood!" Lin Haoran shook his head lightly, and said with a smile on his face: "I came here this time, but I didn't want to get any benefits, but actually to send benefits to the minister!" ”

"Benefits?" Wang Fang was puzzled.

It's not that he's afraid of Wang Bai, it's just that he's in trouble now, and maybe he'll soon have to retire in Nanjing. At this juncture, he will definitely not offend Wang Bai, thus causing unnecessary trouble to his family.

Just listening to the meaning of Lin Haoran's words, he suggested that he choose to do something to the Franco robot who was entrenched in the mirror, it seems that it is not only to solve the hidden dangers, but also to get some benefits.

Combined with this kid's style of acting, it should not be a stupid thing to do something for the benefit of the people and Guangdong, but to be able to really get some beneficial good things.

Lin Haoran saw that he didn't veto it immediately, and his hanging heart also fell a little. It's just that he didn't speak at this time, but turned his head to look to the side, but his eyes fell on Diao Laixi.

Some words can be said in front of Diao Laixi, which will have the effect of "voting for the name". But there are some things that cannot be said in front of Diao Laixi, and some things need to be kept highly confidential.

Diao Laixi met Lin Haoran's gaze, and immediately understood what this kid meant, and couldn't help but feel extremely angry and ridiculous in his heart. He and Wang Fang have a teacher-student relationship, how could the teacher choose to retire as this kid wants.

Wang Fu glanced at Diao Laixi, but seeing that he didn't react, he gave an order to evict the guest with a calm face: "Ziqian, you have a lot of official business, and the headquarters will not keep you!" ”

Yes?

When Diao Laixi suddenly heard this, his eyes immediately widened, as if he didn't believe his ears. He turned his head to look at the teacher, and found that the teacher's face was very gloomy, and he immediately felt abandoned.

He vividly remembered how ecstatic he was that day when he learned that his teacher had been appointed governor of Liangguang. That evening, he invited many of his colleagues to Dongfeng Tower for a wild meal, thinking that his good days were coming.

He would not expect to take over as the prefect of Guangzhou, but Huizhou, Wuzhou, and Zhaoqing are all good places to go, even Guilin.

It's just that he has been waiting, but he can't even wait for a "dungeon" like Leizhou Mansion, and he gradually feels that he is not valued by the teacher, and now he has been issued an eviction order.

"Student quit!"

Diao Laixi left and left the study silently.

In this warm spring February, he did not see the red flowers and green leaves in the courtyard, but saw a gray sky, and he seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.

It was noon, and the political envoy was the yamen.

Wang Bai, who was wearing a second-class official robe, was sitting in the living room, playing with a silver telescope in his hand, and seemed to like this delicate and rare thing very much.

He was nearly sixty years old, fair-skinned, obese, and his face had long since lost the handsome man of his youth, and there was a black mole on the tip of his right eyebrow.

As a Jinshi of Jiajing for 17 years, he was first awarded the Dali Appraisal Minister, and after the ups and downs of his career, he was finally promoted from the deputy envoy of the inspection and the deputy envoy of the patrol to the political envoy and the deputy envoy of the patrol of the sea, and this official career was smooth.

After playing this magical game for a while, he handed the thing to the entourage next to him, and said to the Francophone on the right: "Gabi Danmo, why did you suddenly visit this time?" ”

Sitting opposite sat an authentic Portuguese, about forty years old, with golden hair, blue eyes, and a refined aristocratic costume.

This is not a personal name, but the name of the Portuguese leader of the Ming Dynasty today. There is a historical record that "in Zhengde, according to Manraka, the king was expelled." In the thirteenth year, he sent an envoy to pay tribute to the end of the Bidan and other tributes, please seal it, and know its name."

From this record, it can be known that in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, this Kabi Danmo is the envoy of the Buddha Machine.

It's just the truth, but it doesn't have to be. The real identity of Kapithama is the head of the cruise, appointed by the Portuguese crown or by the Portuguese and Indian governors in the name of the king, and this cruise leader is paid a share.

This reward was of course secondary, as it was under the orders of the King of Portugal or the Viceroy of Portuguese India, who not only commanded the troops and crews under his command, but also exercised control over the Portuguese community wherever he visited during the berth period.

In particular, military power, which also serves as an orphan judge and a missing person, and trusts the inheritance of orphans and widows.

Not only did he have exclusive trade rights on specific routes, but he also served as a trade director, cruise chief, and diplomatic representative, and he could act as a temporary supreme governor in the name of the king or the Portuguese and Indian governors in various ports along the route.

However, no matter how powerful the cruise leader is, he is not fully representative of the Portuguese royal family.

The election of the cruising leader was not a diplomatic move by Portugal to other countries, but a competition for the interests of the Portuguese royal family.

This route to Japan and the Ming Dynasty was actually developed by Portuguese merchants and adventurers. The Portuguese royal family saw the business opportunity and quickly stepped in, and the head of the cruise was the spokesperson of the royal family.

The head of the cruise is essentially the spokesman of the Portuguese royal family, and his role is not diplomacy, but to oversee the route to Daming and Japan, from which he can extract huge profits.

The leader of the current cruise to Japan is Léonel de Sousa, a member of the Portuguese royal family who was appointed by King João III of Portugal.

"Honorable Envoy, your friend has encountered some minor trouble!" Leonel looked polite and said respectfully to Wang Bai.

Leonel was undoubtedly a careerist, and when he returned to Macau from Japan, he liked the warm winters and the business opportunities in Daming. It was under his impetus that he succeeded in bribing Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, so that the Portuguese could take root in Ho Jing.

Now, under his money offensive, he has also established a deep friendship with this powerful official.

"It can't be your son who caused the trouble again, right?" Wang Bai picked up the teacup and asked with the shelves of Ming officials.

"No, I have ordered him to stay in Haojing, and he is not allowed to step into Guangzhou City again!" Leonel hurriedly shook his head and replied in stiff Chinese.

Wang Bai gently blew off the heat on the tea surface, and said slowly: "Your son killed someone last time, but it took me a lot of effort to help you suppress this matter!" ”

"Thank you for your help last time!" Leonel was very upbeat, then nodded to his subordinates, pointed to the open box of silver, and said, "This time, I also prepared this for the adults, which can be regarded as a thank you for the last time!" ”

Looking at the box of silver, Wang Bai felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, just to get such a generous reward for pressing a murder case, and he was very satisfied with this Leonel.

He didn't let the excitement flow to his face, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Since you and I are friends, we don't need to be so polite, don't bring these things next time!" ”

"It's just a small gift! It is an honor for the government to make adults like it! "Leonel is also a wonderful man, and he has learned a decent amount of Oriental modesty.

Wang Bai looked at this Leonel so upright, and no longer official, put down the tea cup and said, "Say it!" Kabi Danmo, how can I help you this time? ”

"Then you're welcome!" Leonel was first overjoyed, and then said solemnly: "I am in charge of collecting taxes at the dock of Haojing, but there are some unscrupulous merchants who refuse to pay taxes and injure my people, which makes it very difficult for me to deal with this matter!" ”

"And what do you want to do?" Wang Bai held the teapot, slowly paddled the tea, and kicked the question back to Leonel with great shrewdness. I have to say that in terms of officialdom alone, these 10,000 Portuguese are not his opponents.

"I would like the Governor to issue a decree! Let the merchants stop making trouble, pay us taxes according to the rules, and give us the ...... Kill them right! Leonel immediately put forward the conditions, but in the end he was a little weak-hearted.

Wang Bai did not rush to make a statement, but lowered his head and took a sip of tea. With his shrewdness, he naturally knows whether this Franc machine man is in trouble or not, and in essence, he wants to use the topic to play, so as to have the autonomy of Haojing.

It's not that they don't have this autonomy, but they are worried that the slaughter of the Ming merchants will incur the wrath of their government. Now I am looking for him to say this, but I want to get his assurance.

It's just that he also feels a little difficult about this matter, and he knows that he can't easily agree to them. If you do agree, there will be certain political risks.

He allowed the Franc machine man to occupy the Hao Mirror, if he still allowed the Franc machine man to do anything there, even if the Ming people died there, they would not be held accountable, which was simply a recognition of their status as a toast.

If they are shielded like this, once the matter reaches the imperial court, the matter will inevitably be extremely troublesome.

Leonel seemed to be prepared, nodded to the entourage, and the attendant put a beautiful wooden box on the table, and said to Wang Bai again: "I know that this matter is very troublesome, so this time I also bring a gift to the envoy!" ”

Wang Bai looked at Leonel's confident appearance, and his heart jumped, and he carefully opened the exquisite wooden box. He could even hear his own heartbeat, and when he saw the white object inside, he was in ecstasy.

"I wonder if the envoy can help me with this?" Leonel asked with a smile as he reached out and pressed the wooden box.

"I need more ambergris!" Wang Bai immediately put forward the condition.

"There's no problem with this!" Leonel replied with a mouthful of words.

"Actually, that's not a problem!" Wang Bai suddenly smiled as sly as a fox.

"How?" Leonel asked, confused.

"My people of the Ming Dynasty are thieves when they enter the sea, and they must be killed! If you kill them, not only will I not blame you, but I will thank you! Wang Bai held the box in his hand and said proudly.

"Some of them didn't go into the sea!" Leonel asked, still puzzled.

"They did not enter the sea, but they were condemned, and this is also a capital offense! Do you know what I mean? Wang Bai found that this Franc machine man was brainless, and immediately mentioned again.

"What do you mean, my lord, that I can dispose of them as I please?" Leonel's mind didn't spin quickly, but he asked directly.

Wang Bai opened the box again, looked at the white thing as if it was a peerless beauty, and replied without hesitation: "Naturally!" Kill those sinners! ”

In his eyes, as long as he has this ambergris, he can receive holy grace.

This green word is what Zhai Jiao needs, so Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao can enter the pavilion to worship the prime minister one after another, but this ambergris is not it, and it is even more pleasing to the saints.

Although he can't write green words, and he can't find any great auspiciousness, as long as he continues to get this ambergris, his career will be able to rise to the top and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

After receiving this straightforward assurance, Leonel's hanging heart also relaxed, looking at this greedy Ming official, Leonel also smiled happily.

He has already grasped the lifeblood of this Ming official, and in order to please their king, he is able to hand over everything, including the land and the lives of his people.

He found that Galeote Pereira was right, that there was a lack of education in a country where officials looked out for the lives of their fellow citizens.

Although he had opened the door to this country, and the two big black ships he brought this time were also loaded with a large number of exquisite goods, he was not willing to stop there.

Compared with the seafaring trade, although it is extremely profitable, it is actually not as profitable as the customs revenue. Now the customs office has been successfully set up in Haojing, collecting tariffs from compatriots, Yi merchants, Daming merchants and others, which is a huge profit.

Now with the permission of this political envoy, he no longer needs to scruples, and can build Haojing into the largest and most prosperous wharf in the Ming Dynasty, so as to collect the most generous tariffs.

And he didn't have to take any more risks to be able to grab the customs revenues that should have belonged to this country.
