Chapter 324: Impostor

This little official seemed to be full of resentment, full of resentment waiting to vent, but he happened to be angered by John Farrell, and commanded several followers in the yamen to go up directly to arrest people.

Where does the tall white thug beside John Farrell know what Chinese, only know that suddenly these natives suddenly came up and prepared to catch the master, naturally they refused to give up, raised their heads and pushed up, he had a lot of strength, although they did not understand each other's language, but pushing twice, it was already all fire, and gradually they were about to start.

But there were a lot of people at the customs, and it was the people who liked to watch the excitement, and after a while, Ado felt the pressure was huge, raised the musket in his hand, and faced everyone.

At this moment, the nature has changed, and the official's face has also changed, and he turned around and left.

Wang Daren's fame was not low before, and he was assigned to this customs, that is, the former city shipping department, which is the fat shortage of the fat shortage, standing there and doing nothing, there have always been big families who dare to be maritime merchants to give gifts, and they will not ask for anything at all.

However, what made him sad was that the elders actually let him reluctantly set up this customs shelf, and even hastily maintained it, not even collecting customs duties, what else do you want this customs to do?

If you don't have a chance to get rich, let's talk about it, anyway, this new court is thriving, as long as you work hard, sooner or later there will be a day when you will be promoted, at least he knows that those people in Jiangnan who are above the top have completely lost their position now, even if they are allowed to join the court, then they will not be valued in the future, and they will be the henchmen of the court in the future.

Let's not talk about the henchmen of the court, but Wang Daren was confused by a foreign envoy before.

The envoy also had a Chinese traitor as an interpreter by his side, and he looked arrogant, and he said that he was about to declare war on China in a few minutes to destroy this backward country, and asked the king by name to come and meet him.

This frightened Wang Daren and surprised him.

The reason for being frightened, when the literati of the Ming Dynasty had something to do, they could say a few words about anything, but if something happened, it had nothing to do with me, if once a war broke out because of the complaints of "foreigners", there was no pressure from the elders, and his colleagues would definitely put on all kinds of hats on him, and let him go directly to a certain Qingshui Yamen to eat and wait for death.

Wang Daren really knew what was going on with this literati in the previous imperial examination, and he didn't say anything about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but when he started doing things, he was incorruptible and shameless.

We always say that the government admires the foreign, in fact, this is a system problem, and the reason for this is precisely because of the people who eat melons, as an old literati, Wang Daren has both my Chinese millennium and rich in everything, so there is no need to deal with these barbarians, but on the other hand, as long as the barbarians threaten a little, they will be scared to their knees.

Because this has nothing to do with the interests of the country, but the only object of the official's allegiance is not the people and the court, but the person who promoted him, and promotion, political performance is one thing, not causing trouble, not having an accident, is the greater standard, no boss likes subordinates who often have accidents.

Figuring out what he wants, going to those "cultural" companies in the imperial capital, buying which official likes what kind of woman, what kind of cigarettes he likes to smoke, and what kind of wine he drinks, is the most basic ability of a local subordinate official.

He knew ignorantly that the imperial court attached great importance to foreigners, and even when they were training, an elder often explained the world map to them, and according to what it said, they studied it.

Of course, Wang Daren doesn't understand any foreign countries, his worldview has long been fixed, and his understanding of foreign countries is that a group of natives wearing ridiculous turf hold weapons made of bamboo poles to kill each other.

Let him understand that all kinds of foreigners are incomprehensible, but they are political achievements.

The police rely on solving cases to improve their political performance, of course, it is best to have a big case that is noticed by the leadership, the officials of the Ministry of Health rely on reducing the mortality rate of the people to improve their political performance, and the teachers hope to teach a few promising good students, these are all real political achievements.

Because these things can be quantified and explained, at least you make a report to your boss, how about our company.

But for the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites, or the Foreign Affairs Department, could not quantify their political achievements, so people like Wang Dareng have already formed a fixed thinking, and kneeling and licking foreigners can be promoted, which is definitely not a lie.

Wang Daren was very afraid from the beginning, this matter, foreigners came to declare war, if the appeasement is not good, but something will happen.

This is also a sequelae, in order to promote Western civilization, the elders will inevitably say some of their technological advances, but where does Wang Daren understand, he just knows that these foreigners are only afraid that they are not easy to provoke, otherwise, why do even the elders who are like gods attach great importance to them?

That's what happened to you.

Wang Daren was actually very obedient to the Council of Elders, so when something happened, he immediately did it, thinking that he had an important mission, and appeased the self-proclaimed messenger.

As a first-tier city in the future, although Tianjin Wei is a municipality directly under the central government, its influence has always stood below the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in fact, the background and strength are not bad, the key is that this place is indeed suitable for the development of logistics, so it is also right for the largest port to be placed here.

Logistics represents the control of the direction of material transportation, in fact, it is equivalent to the control of wealth, otherwise, the world's hot cities in modern society, at least have such characteristics, is a traffic artery, at least there is a seaport transportation place.

If we grow food or produce commodities on a piece of land, if we can't sell them, these commodities and grains can only be used or eaten directly, and they cannot be called wealth, and only by selling them to end consumers can we complete a cycle.

Therefore, the first reason why the Presbyterian Church did not go to play any land reform or build a large factory, but chose to start building a railway, and this is the reason.

Only when a thing is involved in production and incorporated into the management is the embodiment of wealth, otherwise, it is the grass in the ground.

Qian Jin heard someone say something big at the beginning, and he was also anxious, the ghost knew what was going to happen, and when the crazy foreigner brought it over, it was the donkey's lips that didn't match the horse's mouth, this person seemed to be a little wrong, and he didn't say a few words, so he was eager to pounce on him and stab him!

The people around Qian Jin pulled him at that time, and he didn't play like this, this guy didn't look young, but he was so impulsive, but Qian Jin was frightened, and naturally it was not so easy to give up, and he stayed in Tianjin for two more days, just to lose the fat raised during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This guy's life experience is also bizarre, and even he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and he originally smiled slightly at the torture instruments of those ordinary tiger chairs and chili water, but he quickly knelt and licked under various tortures in modern times.

This person has now completely collapsed, the person is about to go crazy, and naturally slowly confides that he was originally the son of a small workshop owner in Europe, who was conscripted by the king to fight, and after becoming a deserter, he went to Asia to fight, but he also made a windfall with a bottomless attitude to life, but that little money was just wrapped around him, but after he had been messing around with the East India Company for a while, he seemed to think of something, so he opened up a director's relationship, opened a concession, and opened a plantation in that place in Taiwan!

It has long been reported that that part of Taiwan is too suitable for growing sugar cane, and historically, a certain group has grabbed a lot of money by exhausting the aborigines.

Duke is smart and smart, although he has no capital and no strong relationship, but he has brains, nothing more than pulling the tiger skin and pulling the flag, using it to scare people, saying to A, Mr. B has invested in me, and said to Mr. B, Mr. A has invested in me, and finally dared to call A and B together to talk to each other.

In this way, Duke got enough investment in Batavia, and enough borrowing, according to the pie he painted, only the first year, after those plantations were opened, the sugar extraction obtained in the first year was shipped directly to Japan, and enough silver and copper ingots were shipped back, enough to earn back the investment, and the rest of the income was completely profit.

This calculation is good, Duke has calculated everything, paid the Tainan Governor's Palace, recruited a group of low-level Europeans as thugs, each of them brought their own dry food and guns, supervised the work, has found enough traitors, ready to go to the coast to trick the boat people to come to work, they will squeeze those people to live, what seeds, equipment are ready, if everything goes well, at the end of this year, the first batch of sugar cane can be harvested, and then the sugar can be squeezed, shipped to Japan, and earn ten times the profit.

All these beautiful dreams were shattered by Zheng Zhilong's sudden turn of face, after the city of Relanza was overturned, it was the tactics of cutting the mess quickly, Duke's investment was lost in an instant, although some things that originally belonged to the other party were compensated, but Duke's actions this time were completely dependent on borrowing and investment, and now it is basically all over, the tools in reserve, seeds, the overseers recruited, the investment in buying land, etc., are all over.

Duke didn't dare to go back to Batavia, let alone go back now, as long as he showed up a little, he would be dead, and the victim suffered heavy losses, and was about to find trouble with him.

After thinking about it, Duke really had no way to live, and barely hid in Macau for a few days, after all, in this era, there are not many places where a white skin can survive, but every ship going south is being watched, and someone is already looking for him.

In the end, there was no way, Duke had only one way to go north, and he suddenly had a bold idea, if the leader of this country was really so easy to fool, then it would be very easy to pretend to be a messenger, and then claim to declare war and destroy everything along the coast of this country, and naturally he could cheat a large amount of gold and silver.

In history, the Ming Dynasty itself was an ostrich policy for these foreigners, that is, only a person like John Tang who specialized in the upper class had a chance, and others could not even enter the mainland, and Tianjin Customs gave Duke a chance, a chance to enter the mainland, but unfortunately, where is he those old treacherous and cunning, good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, the petty bourgeois weakness in his bones, just thinking about making a big fuss.

"Interesting." Wang Jian looked at him greedily and said, "How about handing him over to me." ”

Qian Jin smiled and said, "What are you going to do with it, this is a man, and he is not young, when did your taste become so heavy." ”

"you, I'm going to train a few class fighters, at least it's also an experiment, I remember that the experiment conducted by the United States in South Korea was very successful, treating people as experiments, shaping character, I want to see if it can be transformed, it can be regarded as an experiment, you know, in history, after the 21st century, because of human rights, only South Korea has been subjected to psychological experiments by the Americans, and there have been some hands and feet in Africa, it seems that we can let go of our hands and feet."

Experimenting is the cruelest thing in the world.

The mice could not understand why they had to take so many medicines, why they had tumors all over their bodies, and in the same way, they were experimented with and instilled with all kinds of information.

Experimenting with people occasionally has different legends in the world.

A certain triplet brother was adopted by a mysterious organization, but it was not the kind of boring thing that he trained as a killer since he was a child, but a real psychological experiment, that is, the three children were sent to three different families for adoption, with different education, and how their personalities were developed, just like in Truman's world, Truman was watched.

This is very interesting, rare, in fact very cruel, but it is an inevitable choice for social progress, only in this way can we understand how a person sees, understands, and accepts many things, and Wang Jian has always been very interested in this.

However, Qian Jin looked at Wang Jian and made his own idea, but he was too lazy to take care of it, a European ** silk, according to the original historical trajectory, is a casual European Luthor on the streets of China, there are hundreds of women in the past, but in this era is an insignificant anomaly, even if it is broken, no one comes to protest, how do you look at it, this is a poor worm who has been ruined, returned to Europe, or once he leaves, he will be killed by the creditors.

Qian Jin was busy finishing the work of this little person, but he saw that Wang Daren, who had been unfavorable before, ran over again, but there was another messenger.

"I'm the sun, don't you know that Europe is tens of thousands of miles away from China, and I want to send someone over, at least a year, this kind of person, as soon as I hear it, it's fake, don't think that you can be a big guy by sending a yellow hair!"

Wang Daren was a little confused, took out the things he had searched, and said: "My lord, this foreigner is also different, and the things on his body are different from the tattered foreigner, but they are also worth seeing." ”
