After Sha Dacheng came to Songjiang Mansion with his own fleet, because he was originally from Fujian, and there were frequent activities in the area of Jiangnan and Fujian and Zhejiang in the past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sea is vast, but a region is where so many people eat actively, one family eats, and the rest have nothing to eat, Wang Tong and the Sha family are so powerful, if others want to come and eat, then ten are the end of being destroyed, and everyone is very interested. Fortunately, they are not pirates, there are also places where they make a fortune, there are a lot of goods exported to the outside of Jiangnan through Songjiang Mansion, although Wang Tong and Sha Dacheng have many ships, although the Mongolian merchants in Jiangnan are buying ships and shipbuilding, but this is far from enough, the pirates with good intentions have a bite to eat for transporting goods, and they also make a lot of money.

At this time, the benefits of Tianjin Wei rules are revealed, and anyone who wants to transport goods must receive a flag and a name in Sanjiang Insurance Bank, and also have a guarantor, and then they can be transported on the ground in Songjiang Mansion.

In fact, this is an extra expense out of thin air, and many people who have recovered their freedom at sea do not want to be subject to this constraint, but they hit it off with those greedy merchants, but without guarantees and constraints, it is difficult to say anything at sea.

After losing a lot of goods, the merchants finally behaved, and Sanjiang Insurance Bank's fee was for everyone to reduce risk, not to peel the skin.

Maritime trade is a huge profit, transporting a shipload of sugar to the Wa country, you can have four times the profit at a time, silk also has more than three times, there are many rare goods can even reach ten times, the Wa country is rich in gold and silver, plus this factor, the profit is higher.

Now the goods can be exported in large quantities, in fact, the profit is lowered, of course, the profit is indeed low, but the total amount is large, there are more people who have made a fortune, and the benefits are greater.

However, the original people who controlled the huge profits suffered losses, and since the seventeenth year of Wanli, the pirates who have made waves on the sea are generally operated by these people behind their backs.

The pirates specially stared at the merchant ships that went out of Songjiang Mansion, and they lost a lot of money for a while, and the insurance bank posted a lot of the safe silver collected from Songjiang Mansion in the early stage and the silver collected from the land sale, which was considered a draw.

Since there are such bold pirates, then Wang Tong will not be soft on his side, Sha Dacheng will lead the ship out to clear it, either escort or set up a bureau at sea.

The result was quite unexpected, such strict precautions, although there were fewer hands, but there was nothing to gain at sea, the pirates had such a sharp nose, Wang Tong did not recognize that the pirates had such a great ability, and he could detect the situation, he quickly made a judgment, it is not enough to clean up at sea, but also to start on land.

At this time, Liao Lang's ability was revealed, he was familiar with the rivers on the shore, knew where to hide, and whose nest it was...... No one dares to toss and mess around anymore.

swept away the pirates, and the main messengers behind them were also found out one by one, to Wang Tong's surprise, many of these people were from the families of official eunuchs and gentry, and some of them had a reputation for being virtuous and respectful in the local area, but he didn't expect that they were all powerful businessmen at sea.

As for Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Ningbo, Wang Tong is not impossible, a letter to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu stationed in Hangzhou, a letter to the governor of Zhejiang, the clues are all clear, Jinyi Wei Qianhu is under the jurisdiction, if you don't want to help, this is our Jingshi to see the real chapter, there is this relationship, Zhejiang side of the luck of the people were also swept away.

After this incident, Wang Tong somewhat understood why Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang and others still opposed the opening of the sea after Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang and others swept away the southeast Japanese invaders, and moved out of various reasons to support the continuation of the ban on the sea, carefully tracing the source, it is not possible to have such and such a relationship with the powerful family in Jiangnan, as long as the sea is banned, this huge profit can be maintained, no wonder after the sea ban, the opposition in the court is endless.

However, these tricks are useless in front of Wang Tong, and Wang Tong's attitude towards this kind of thing is not to engage in any political disputes with you, first use superior force to sweep you away, and then make calculations in the court.

After March of the seventeenth year of Wanli, people who were lucky or had some other meaning had to admit that the opening of Songjiang was unstoppable, and in the future, the goods of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, as well as those along the Yangtze River, could only go from Songjiang if they wanted to trade at sea.

Originally, many goods in Jiangxi and Huguang were taken by land to Guangdong, and then trafficked to the sea, but now with the convenience of Songjiang Mansion, they can take the Yangtze River waterway to the east, and then take the sea route to Songjiang Mansion. Erase your gentle flowers, the route between Songjiang Mansion and Nanyang has been through at the end of the sixteenth year of Wanli, and the exchanges are getting closer and closer, and the massacre of the Han people in Luzon reached Songjiang Mansion at the end of February of the seventeenth year of Wanli.

The businessmen who brought this news didn't think too much, they just felt that this matter was really sighing, worthy of sympathy, to put it mildly, it was also a talking point, come back and everyone chatted a few words, and it was just a matter of sympathy, business should be done or done.

There are also one or two bloody, that is, don't do business with Spanish merchants, the two places where the Ming Dynasty opened the port, the Francophone gradually declined, everyone can distinguish between Portugal and Spain, and there are no Spaniards on the side of Songjiang Mansion and Tianjin Wei.

For those who come back from the sea, there is a rule in Songjiang Prefecture that when they come back to the card, in addition to counting the goods and paying taxes, they must also talk about what they have seen and heard at sea and foreign ports.

Although there is no benefit to this, it may not be a bad thing for the businessmen to chat and drink tea with the officials of the Matsue Division, and it is also a relaxation. The people in charge of this work in the Matsue Division are all sitting under the brocade cloth, and the news they get is reported in a book.

In the middle of March, that Bai Wu had already come to Songjiang, although he was blinded by hatred, but he was not a fool, the "good Samaritan" in Guangzhou told everything in such detail, and also gave him the passage money, and he could also perceive that this was pointing him the way.

From Guangzhou to Songjiang, the journey of more than a month is enough, but Bai Wu was sick for a few days on the way because of his anger, and the entanglement was exhausted, and the last part of the journey was to rely on begging to come over, and when he arrived in Songjiang, he was indeed no different from a beggar.

The Liaoguo Mansion was very inquisitive there, and when he rushed here, he didn't dare to break in when he saw the strict guards outside the door, but he walked twenty steps away, and when he saw that the guards were about to come to drive him away, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Ask the Lord of the Kingdom to call the shots!" ”

Hearing this, the guards in front of the Liaoguo Mansion did not move to drive away, but said a little impatiently: "The Duke of the State doesn't care about civil affairs, if you have any grievances, go to the county government to complain, or go to the Nanjing Criminal Department to beat the drum, and I will also give you a clear explanation." ”

Since Wang Tong rescued the boy and his son, there are more people kowtowing in front of the door to complain, from the neighbor stealing a radical, to suspecting his wife of stealing a man, there are a lot of things, even the county government is too lazy to pay attention to this kind of thing, Wang Tong has time here, and sent it away, and then he was annoyed by the toss, and he also set the rules, if he doesn't go, catch a board in the yamen and say, this is to drive people away.

"Only the Duke of Liao can call the shots about the villain, and no one else can manage it except for his old man."

"Everyone says so, whether you lost your family property or your property was taken by a traitor, go to the county government and say."

At first, the guards could still watch it as a joke, but later they watched more, and the accused people were deceived a few times, and they were all impatient and unwilling to continue talking nonsense.

"A few deputy masters, this is a big case with tens of thousands of lives, the county government doesn't dare to take care of it, and the small ones go to Guangzhou to complain, and they don't dare to take care of it over there!"

Bai Wu shouted at the top of his voice, the guards were just about to make a move, but they stopped when they heard this, they knew a lot of outrageous grievances, but "tens of thousands of lives" was too shocking and shocking, Bai Wu kowtowed to the ground a few times, and blood immediately came out of his forehead, which is also a means to show determination, and the guards are old, and they can see a flame of hatred in the eyes of Bai Wu, this is indeed the appearance of a person with deep hatred Several guards looked at each other, all stopped moving, and an old man stepped forward and said:" Grandpa is not in the house, you go back to rest first, and wait for grandpa to come back. ”

These words couldn't scare Bai Wu, he just kowtowed again and said: "Grandpa won't come back for a day, and the villain won't leave for a day." ”

After saying this, I thought that the guards would be angry and angry, but I didn't expect the guards to look at each other, but they ignored them.

In the next few days, no one drove him away, and in the evening someone took out a felt cover for him, and some people gave him food and water, but he was not allowed to kneel at the main gate, let him be a little off, and some people brought him something to eat, and kindly chatted with him.

At first, Bai Wu didn't want to pay attention to it, but after all, others are taking care of it, and the favor is not small, and there is a lack of someone to talk to for so many days, and all of them have been said.

He knelt at the door until the tenth day, and he was really a little desperate, because he had never seen Liao Guogong come in and out, and in Bai Wu's heart, this must be that the other party didn't want to see or hide from him, he was disheartened, and he had nothing to love, did he want to go to Jingshi, Bai Wu even wanted to die at this door.

Wang Tong returned to Fuzhong on the tenth day, and he had been busy at the gunboat dock for more than half a month, and he never bothered to go home. ~！
