Under Yang Xin's tyranny, the poor magistrate Lin chose to join forces or be willing to be a lackey...

So what can he do?

He was also helpless!

He was just a seventh-rank magistrate who was born in a juren. Faced with such a powerful treacherous minister, would he continue to eat the bran dumpling? He didn't want to live a nightmare life. He was a magistrate of Xiangshan and could not escape, nor was the Guangzhou officials far away, and they could show their arrogance outside Yang Xin's claws.

Since you can't resist, just close your eyes and enjoy it!

Anyway, the eunuch party still has a lot of prospects at the moment.

In short, he was so upset that he returned to Xiangshan County Government.

Then he immediately rejected the order of strict control of smuggling issued by the General Administration and the Censorate Department, as if he was a strong man. After Governor Yang had issued the new tax law as Prime Minister Guangdong Customs, the sale of grain and other commodities to Macau had become a legal trade.

Since it is legal, it’s not too strict to control it!

The order issued by the two departments was completely inexplicable.

As a principled person, Lin Magistrate Lin would never execute such orders.

At the same time, gentry outside Xiangshan also disobeyed this, slapped his chest in front of local officials and promised not to let a grain of rice enter Macau. But at the same time, the white boats continued to flock to Macau, and even the white boats from Fujian joined. As for the coastal garrison, the coastal garrison even ignored the Ming army in the Nanhai Guard, Guanghai Guard, Jieshi Guard, and even Hutouguan, etc., they also ignored the so-called smuggling of their defense areas. It is true that Yang Xin wanted to kill civil officials in his hand, but it is just a word to cut their heads.

Even these garrison officers simply joined the trade.

They wouldn't be so stupid that they didn't make money. They could make some money before, but as the bottom of the official food chain, they could make very limited. After all, the power is in the hands of civil servants, and at most they just drink soup. Yang Xin did make them unable to even drink soup, but the problem is that Yang Xin also puts the opportunity to eat meat in front of them. Originally, the Guangdong garrison all participated in smuggling, but now they just do it openly. Anyway, Yang Xin still gives them face to them...

The Governor of Macau Coastal Military Affairs and Prime Minister of Guangdong Customs Office, Yang Xin was accompanied by the sea breeze and several generals who were called to drink and enjoy the sea view.

"Brother Yan also came from Liaodong, right?"

Yang Xin said.

"Go back to the governor, the last general was the Liaodong Dushi before."

Yan Yikui, the Guangdong Palm Seal Du Si, said with a smile.

"I said why do you seem to have heard of Brother Yan somewhere? As for General Fang Gan is the top scholar in martial arts?"

Yang Xin said to another general.

"Return to the governor, he will be the first in the martial arts in the 46th year of Wanli."

The coastal defense gang general Fang Yifeng quickly answered.

"That's the top martial arts scholar. I'll report to Your Majesty. In the future, our martial arts scholars will also have the palace examination. They will have the top martial arts scholars in the palace examination. We will also have the top martial arts scholars in the martial arts scholars. We can't just lower our martial arts scholars, right?"

Yang Xin said.

"The governor is wise!"

Chaozhou Deputy General Yu Zigao said excitedly.

"Brother Yu, there are not many people who really admire Yang. Please be the one of Duke Wu Xiang!"

Yang Xin said.

Well, Deputy General Yu’s father is Yu Dayou.

As for the ability...

This must be quite different from his father. Besides, his father has been dead for more than 40 years, and Deputy General Yu is actually very old. In short, Deputy General Yu was beaten by pirates in history. He was beheaded after being defeated and fled. The pirate who beat him was now studying his excessive taxation problem with the tax collector thirty meters away.

Well, he was defeated by Zheng Zhilong.

"Everyone, we are all a family. I think you know what Yang is about to his brothers. Anyone who is friends with Yang will have all risen to the top.

For example, Zhang Shenwu was originally just a guilty man, but now he is a general of the aiding Korea army.

For example, Cao Wenzhao went from Xiaoqi to General in the third year.

For example, Qi Jin wasted his whole life and followed Yang and directly controlled the other side.

I am a simple person. Whoever treats me as a brother will treat me as a brother. Whoever treats me as a brother will share the blessing with whom. Silver is not important to me, and I am not short of money. I came to Guangdong not for the sake of money. I paid 400,000 yuan to contract Guangdong Customs and spent hundreds of thousands to support these warships and anti-smuggling teams, just to solve the problem of Guangzhou Customs for His Majesty.

You all know how much money you can get here in a year.

You also know where all the money has gone.

On the one hand, the brothers who had no money in the court suffered, and on the other hand, there were the mountains of gold and silver that civil servants and gentry reaped. This was too unfair. If overseas trade was a cake, then they would have to share too much of this cake, which would definitely not work. It must be divided again, and the share was more fair. Customs tax collection is the purpose. If we don’t want much, it will only be 400,000. I think this amount is already very low, at least compared to what civil servants and local gentry gets very low.

They could have no need for me.

If someone from Guangdong had come out to book the customs before, I wouldn't have come to Guangdong at all.

But they are too greedy.

They couldn't even give us 400,000.

Since they couldn't even give us 400,000, I could only come and get it myself, but since I came, I wouldn't get it for 400,000. I have been booking the Guangdong Customs for a year. If no one has already booked it next year, I will continue to book it until the local tax-providing person comes out. I am not afraid of playing with them for ten years. If I really earn more than one million in the customs a year, I may not be willing to leave.

As for you, I know you have been affected more or less... "

Yang Xin said.

"The governor is serious, and the governor is willing to destroy his family for His Majesty. We have no mention of any trivial matters."

Yu Zigao said quickly.

The others also expressed that they didn't care at all.

"But I care!"

Yang Xin said.

"I think my brothers are a disaster, so I have to make some compensation for you brothers. I would like to invite you to form a business to trade specifically for the Southeast Asian trade. I am building a new type of sailboat, which is faster and more suitable for snatching wind and sailing to avoid trade season restrictions. I can go south or return in any season a year, so that I can make a lot of money.

But I think there is such a good thing to share with you.

Not just everyone.

Generals from these garrisons in Guangdong can join.

Do you know how the red-haired man came to the East?

This is how they are. Investors join hands and form a business. This business can not only trade, but also maintain its own fleet, occupy small countries overseas, loot their treasury, capture their people as slaves, and even build fortresses overseas. Since they can do it, why can't we? We can also form such a business. I go to His Majesty to ask for permission, His Majesty allows us to attack the rebellious people overseas.

At worst, we can contribute a portion of our income to Your Majesty.”

He continued.

At this time, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the South Ocean was very simple. It was to go south in winter and north in summer and run back and forth a year. Whether it was the hard sailing ship of the Ming Dynasty or the soft sailing ship of Europe, they all followed this principle because merchant ships had too high requirements for wind direction. Although it could not be said that they could not sail against the wind, their efficiency was very low, and it could be said that there was no meaning of navigation. But his schooner could avoid this restriction, so he did not have to limit his running back and forth a year, especially those who went to Batavia, which set sail from Guangzhou and two round trips a year without any pressure. The Portuguese could set sail from Goa once a year.

Then the colonial era of the Ming Dynasty can be started.

But he certainly can't do it himself.

Because he didn't have so many people who were willing to run out, it was the limit for his crew members to get here.

But the Guangdong local guards are all people.

Especially Yu Zigao's subordinate, he, the deputy general of Chaozhou, is actually the one on Nan'ao Island. This guy himself is a smuggling man and has a close relationship with Li Dan. He has a partner who is considered a black glove, Li Dan's brother Xu Xinsu. Although Xu Xinsu did not really become his subordinate at this time, he was at least a partner.

The smuggling of coastal garrisons in the Ming Dynasty was also serious.

There are even those who play pirates harassing North Korea...

OK, that's true.

Under the command of the general, the Zhejiang Navy warship pretended to be pirates and attacked North Korea. At that time, the person who handled this matter was Yan Yikui, the head seal next to him.

However, these Ming troops smuggling are not harmful.

Because the reason they smuggled was just because they could not use other methods to divide the cake. If they had the power of legal trade, why would they take this risk? The smuggling along the coast of Guangdong was forced out because the number of ships was limited every year and was controlled by civil servants. Trade with the Portuguese was monopolized by the Thirty-Six Banks and the Maritime Bureau, and others were not qualified to participate. The Portuguese merchant ships arrived in Macau and reported the list of goods they needed to the Maritime Bureau after completing the draw. The silver was sent to the Maritime Bureau. The Maritime Bureau called the Thirty-Six Banks to receive silver according to their respective industries. It was impossible for outsiders to intervene.

Especially the army.

Civil servants will not take such good things cheaply to them.

Then they can only use their power to smuggle, and they are smuggling from top to bottom, with all the smuggling officers, commanders and garrisons participating.

Yang Xin can indeed shock them.

The Shangfang sword in his hand and his evil name of the God of Killing are still useful.

But there is no need to force them into the enemy. When it comes to respond, it should guide them and use their advantages to become a real maritime development group. After all, these people are worthy of recognition. Yu Zigao did not fight Zheng Zhilong and fled and was beheaded, but he was the main force of the Battle of Penghu, and he defeated the Dutch people from Penghu. Fang Yifeng later died in a battle with the Dutch, which should be explained that smuggling these coastal defense generals are still worthy of recognition in their dedication.
