Zhou Fu slept well for two days, and this was still without drinking.

He was frightened, frightened and chatting that day, and his spirit was very tired. He decided that if he could return to Guangzhou this time, he would definitely go to Sister Ma's Temple to make incense.

He didn't dare to go anywhere in the past two days, for fear of accidentally peeping into the secrets of this gang of people, and he had to be silenced. Even if he took a breath on the board, he kept his head down, no matter what strange noises and monsters appeared, he never looked around. Or face the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming. There is a variety of food on board. Does it matter whether it's hot or cold now?

Judging from his experience of traveling rivers and seas for so many years, the person who claims to be virtuous must have an extraordinary background. At least there is a certain place among those people. Otherwise, Weishenme others would hardly dare to talk to him easily. And the character he called Xiao Ding must be a slave in the house, otherwise, Weishenme hid far away when they were chatting, and did not dare to approach. This is exactly the rule of the big family. And also call it "small".

Those who go south and north, they can't see this sign, how can they walk for a long time! In addition, Gao De is very good at the bottom, his appearance seems to be sincere, his words are amiable, and he unconsciously leads people to confide, and his means are clever.

But his arrangement made sense. Let yourself go, go in search of the sailors and the merchants who have escaped, and give yourself a full ten days, otherwise when they expire, all the goods will be detained and disposed of as unowned. Moreover, the musk that was taken was really sent back with a hundred quintals of pepper, and when you looked at the packaging, you knew that it was authentic Palavia.

Is this really trying to buy it? Or do you want to get caught first?

These doubts just swirled in his heart, and Zhou Fu began to set off, embarking on the road to the second-floor Xingxi.

Where did the sailors and the captain go? Zhou Fu definitely knows.

They must all be there in the second-story creek!

The second-story Xingxi is located in the south of the city of Relanza, with a distance of about 30 kilometers, and is the second largest gathering area of Ming people in the whole of Tainan. There are all kinds of small community service organizations run by the Ming people, as well as Qinglou, but it should be called a kiln hall and a shampoo room. It's just that there is no pink light, and it can't be lit at night. Generally, when the Ming people traded with the Dutch, if the time was very filling, the sailors of the Ming merchants often went to play tricks.

Zhou Fu has also been there, and just a few days ago he gave a young fan bud. That day, he drank some wine and felt that he was a leading cadre, and for a while he became a beast and spent his money. In the past few days, I have done a lot of manipulation with the goods.

Although there are many goods, other firms are not given for nothing, and everyone has a small ninety-nine in their hearts. So he's a little worried. Luckily, the traversers are here. The savior is here.

In Zheng Zhilong's old department who stayed in Taiwan back then, there were two small leaders, one named Guo Huaiyi and the other He Bin. The two of them each led two or three thousand military dependents to cultivate land on both sides of the second-story Xingxi. Rice is also grown, and sugar cane is also grown.

He Bin is in Xibei, Guo Huaiyi is in Xinan, life is not bad, the harvest of a year is several times that of the mainland, and both of them have gradually become extremely rich.

After the Dutch implemented the royal land system, they knew that they were no match for the Dutch, and obediently used the wasteland they had worked so hard to cultivate as the royal land of the Dutch East India Company.

The two naturally got to a big end.

As we all know, the Dutch East India Company divided Taiwan into four regions, and there were 137 villages, or agglomerations, at the bottom. Among the many big endings, He and Guo are naturally the most powerful, so the Dutch also demand all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that life can begin to be uncomfortable day by day.

At first, only the poll tax and the rent of fifty percent of the fields were paid, but later the Dutch saw that there were more Ming people and the harvest was getting better and better, so they began to raise taxes, especially after the arrival of the governor of Naoward, they had to pay the seed tax, the cattle tax, the irrigation tax, the harvest tax for farming, the ship board tax, the net tax, the sea personnel tax, and of course the market transaction tax when buying and selling......

At noon, Guo Huaiyi, He Bin, his subordinate Wu Hualong, nephew Guo Bao and other four people drank wine and chatted together.

On the table were five or six kinds of vegetables such as venison and mullet.

He Bin just came back from Fujian two days ago, and in the past few months, he has heard a lot of news and is reporting to everyone. The three of them listened with relish, and from time to time expressed various opinions.

“…… In the second year of Longwu, that is, in May 1646, the Ming minister Hong Chengchou who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty proposed to the Qing Dynasty general Dorobellebolo to surrender Zheng Taishi (Zheng Zhilong), and wrote a letter to Zheng Taishi with Huang Xiyin, the imperial historian of Fujian, to surrender to the Qing Dynasty together.

In June, the Qing army divided into two routes to Xianxia Pass and Fenshui Pass to force Fujian, Zheng Taishi had the Baylor book and decided to surrender, but Zheng Taishi's brothers did not advance. In August, Zheng Taishi withdrew his army and returned to Anping, Jinjiang, with five or six hundred ships; Zheng Hongkui, the Marquis of Dingxi, who guarded Xianxia Pass, fled when he heard the news, and the Qing soldiers fell into Xianxialing, and Emperor Longwu went to Tingzhou, was executed, and died of hunger strike in Fujing.

On September 19, the Qing general Dorobellebolo commanded the troops to occupy Fuzhou. Soon, the Qing soldiers were rushing to take Xinghua, Quan, and Zhangzhu counties. In the same month, Boluo sent Guo Bichang, a gentleman from Quanzhou, to Anping to appease Zheng Zhilong and Xu to be the governor of Fujian and Guangdong. Ignoring the bitter advice of Zheng Chenggong, the country's grandfather, Taishi Zheng rode north to Fuzhou on November 15 to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. On November 30, the Qing soldiers invaded Anping, but Mrs. Weng could not escape, fearing humiliation, so she hanged herself at the age of 45.

Lebolo broke the contract, took Taishi Zheng hostage, and inseminated the horse Hafan, instead of the original governor of Fujian and Guangdong. We look forward to the moon in the water......"

Guo Huai was furious, slapped the table hatefully, and said, "We are all outcasts, where do we care about the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty?" How have they ever ruled over us? But just ask for a bite to eat. But he is really annoying because he has no faith in his words, and he is really a barbarian and has no credibility......"

He Bin took a slight sip of wine and said, "Don't I know Taishi Zheng's intentions?" On land, the Taishi can rely on the Qing Shili vertically and horizontally; At sea, the sea ships can be retained, which can not only strengthen Liliang, but also expand trade. We will also be patronized. It's a pity that a good move was broken by a stupid and stupid pig-like barbarian. ”

Guo Huai sighed loudly and said, "Alas, I am unfortunate ......"

He Bin smiled lightly and said, "This is too early. My trip to Fujian Zhongzuo Institute (Xiamen) can also be said to have gained a lot. ”

Guo Huaiyi said in surprise: "Have you seen Yongshengbo (Zheng Cai)?!" ”

"Where, my status is so low, the housekeeper of the Zheng family doesn't see me, let alone Yongshengbo. I met someone with the surname Zheng Chenggong in the tavern......"

"Didn't you just say that the surname of the country was defeated in Chenghai the year before last, and Quanzhou was defeated last year, and now he has fled to the sea?"

"The national surname is not small. A small disadvantage doesn't hurt. This person was originally a fellow villager of mine, and I heard that they would go south to eastern Guangdong to recruit troops and grain, and to avoid a strong enemy in northern Fujian. It's a good move...... I also heard that this policy was offered by the general Jinjiang Shilang. If you think about it, you can fight again and again, and your ambition is strong; Be good at accepting good words, and listen to them clearly, and their wisdom can be relied on; If you have a surname, and your name is correct, the teacher is famous and can be a national enemy; His mother, Mrs. Weng, died in the rebellion of the Qing soldiers, which can be hated by the family. So, it's just right for us to take refuge. It's a pity that they are wandering at this time, and their traces are difficult to find......"

"So what should I do now?" Guo Huaiyi asked helplessly.

He Bin stretched out a finger and whispered, "Bear with me!" Xiamen Yongshengbo is arrogant and loves money, which is not enough to rely on. Look at the means of the country's surname, sooner or later there will be a big change, and at that time, we will decide. ”

"That's the only way......" Guo Huaiyi sighed.

Several people started drinking again. The topic gradually turned to this year's farm work.

Guo Huaiyi said to Wu Hualong: "Long Guan, you just said that you want to plant sugarcane fields, I want to take a step back...... At present, the price of grain on the mainland is very good, and there is still a lot to be done in rice cultivation......

Wu Hualong, also known as Long Guan, although he is Guo Huaiyi's subordinate, the relationship between the two is very good, they talk about everything, and they are like brothers.

Wu Hualong smiled bitterly: "Last year, after I paid the tax, I only had seventy percent of the income of the previous year, I heard that Hongmaobo will raise taxes this year, how to bear it!" ”

He Bin also smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Guo is generous, everyone knows it, and he has taken a number of taxes and goods on himself, so that I have to follow up with my younger brother......"

"Alas, a thousand red hairs can crush us and others to the point of breathlessness, and if we don't carry some for the brothers, they will not be able to bear it. If he was still here, how could he allow Hongmaofan to be so rampant?! ”

Everyone didn't say anything, they all knew who he meant. Naturally, it was Zheng Zhilong, the Taishi of Zheng who surrendered to the Qing soldiers but was plundered to Beijing.

"Hateful and annoying!" Guo Huaiyi raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.

A momentary coldness.

Guo Bao carefully changed the topic and said, "Uncle Guo, I found this from the natives?" Then he took out a snow pea.

Then he said: "Listening to the local people, this thing is very strong, can satisfy hunger, although the taste is not as sweet as sweet potatoes, but can be boiled and baked, even so, I thought it can also be steamed, fried and fried......"

Guo Huaiyi was in the mood to care about a small object at this time, he said anxiously: "Guo Bao, you have a short family all day long, you need to know that a good man must have the world's major affairs in mind!" ”

"Yes, yes," Guo Bao immediately got up and arched over, "Uncle taught me very much. ”

He Bin immediately said: "Guo Bao, don't care. Take a look at it with me. ”

He Bin played back and forth.

Wu Hualong gulped down the venison, and said a little slurred: "Could it be a smaller sweet potato." ”

He Bin didn't reply, took out a small knife and cut it open, divided it in half, and the inside was white and yellow. He licked it slightly, but it didn't taste much. threw both halves to Guo Bao and said, "You go and bake half and cook half." Then bring it. ”

Guo Bao happily went. He Bin is a generous person, and there are always various rewards when he does a good job, unlike Wu Hualong, who only says good things and doesn't say a penny.

The three of them reopened the wine, and He Bin chuckled and said, "If you can satisfy your hunger, you can add another piece of food, and it will be a good thing." ”

Wu Hualong has a rough appearance, but he is also shrewd in his heart, and he immediately knew He Bin's intentions, and also helped to lead the topic to this thing, and slowly, Guo Huaiyi also began to participate. There is an atmosphere of drinking and talking again.

Suddenly, a man ran in. The three of them looked up and were surprised, how could it be you!
