909 lobbyists
"When he returned to the boss, his movements were to prepare for war." The man reported, "The one on the shore also said that we were hindering the sea. Once Zheng Yiguan took action, he would definitely take action against us!"
Xu Xiang was furious when he heard this and shouted sternly: "Damn Zheng Yiguan, how could I be afraid of him? If you want to fight, you will fight!"
This is said sternly, and the heart is completely exposed.
"Of the boss, we can join forces with other people to kill Zheng Yiguan!" Seeing this, the man suggested again, "The shore said, it's a bit difficult to rely on our family alone?"
Xu Xiang was a little surprised when she heard this. The fierce momentum she had just revealed disappeared and asked anxiously: "Oh, who should I unite with?"
Five days later, a person at the Dutch station in Taiwan suddenly said that there was a major visit and was eventually taken to the Dutch Governor Hansputmans.
"Sir, we can provide you with the lake silk, silk, porcelain, etc. you want, and the price is lower than that of Fuzhou. How about?" As soon as the man met, he said straight to the point.
Putmans did not answer immediately, but looked at the man for a long time, then suddenly pointed at him and shouted in surprise: "You... are you the one who was wanted by Ming Kingdom last time to sow discord?"
"It's just that!" The visitor was recognized and was not panicked at all, and he said calmly, "Don't you think about the business delivered to the door?"
It is obvious that this person knows these heroes very well, and does not talk nonsense, but only talks about interests.
After hearing this, Putmans did not take any further action and began to think about what the man had just said.
Although the Ming Dynasty opened the sea and allowed him to trade, the price was not low and he had to collect taxes. Especially recently, Aibige, who is stationed in Fuzhou, had just sent someone back to report that the Ming Dynasty was collecting taxes on land, and now the things he bought have further increased their prices.
Thinking of this, he felt a little moved, and he didn't mention the wanted or not at all, and asked directly: "How much can you give and how much lower the price?"
"Let's just say it!" the man said very simply, "I am Xu Xiang and Xu Dazhu. The sea goods that our boss robbed and the sea goods smuggled from the shore are not sold to Japan or Southeast Asia, but are directly sold to you. In this way, not only the price, but also the quantity can definitely ensure that you are satisfied. How about it?"
In fact, in the past, people on the shore would take the initiative to smuggle to Taiwan and sell goods to the Dutch. But since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting took office and strengthened land inspections. Xu Xiang became the overlord of the sea through annexation, which greatly reduced the smuggling people. Now that he heard this person's proposal, Putmans was immediately moved.
However, he is also a cunning person. He knew that this person had such good conditions and must have a purpose. Therefore, after thinking about it, he asked directly: "I don't do a business that makes money, but I insist on giving us the profits. Tell me, what else do you have to ask?"
"We join forces to kill Zheng Yiguan!" The man said with a little hatred, "We, Xu Dada, have a good strength with Zheng Yiguan. But in order to be safe, we would rather make less money than kill Zheng Yiguan. In this way, the sea of the Ming Dynasty is our world, and all the ships that the Ming Kingdom went to sea will be controlled by us! Among them, the huge profits belong to us!"
"Oh?" Putmans heard this, rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then asked with concern again: "What is the way to divide the profits in the future?"
"We promised the taxes of our boss, and then ordered the ships to sell the goods to you. In this way, both of our families will make money."
When Putmans heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is not OK. If you collect taxes, it will definitely be expensive for them to sell to us. It is the same for us to buy and sell things directly in Fuzhou, no, no!"
"Although the prices of those ships that were paid from Ming Dynasty are similar, you will still make a profit if you sell them." The man pointed out the key points, "But those ships that were not paid out will be sold to you as long as we can control the sea, they will be much lower!"
Putmans heard this and didn't say anything anymore. It was obviously because he was measuring in his heart. After a while, he saw him still shook his head and said, "No, we are serious businessmen and come to Dongfang to do business. We will not do such things!"
"..." The man was speechless at first, and then stared at Putmans and suddenly burst into laughter. The seemingly funny "haha" sound even came out of the living room, which made the Dutch soldiers standing guard outside turn to look at the living room. I wonder what the hell was talking about inside. Is it so funny?
Putmans heard this and his face turned slightly red, and then he let the man smile as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the man seemed to laugh and burst into tears. After wiping it out without a trace, he said to Putmans with a hint of mocking expression on his face: "If the family doesn't speak two families, we know exactly what you are doing."
Speaking of this, he suddenly became solemn again and said to Putmans again: "Don't have any fantasies about the imperial court! Let me tell you, once our Xu Datong defeated, I mean that if you may be defeated, Zheng Yiguan's power will definitely increase greatly. By then, the imperial court will be freed up. Do you think you can occupy this place forever?"
When he heard this, Putmans was shocked. To be honest, he had been worried about this matter. During the negotiations between Ai Bige and Ming officials in Fuzhou, he had heard the news that Taiwan was the Ming Dynasty's Taiwan and that he would not continue to occupy it like this.
He was still thinking, and then he heard the man say: "In the past, the imperial court was only focused on building the barbarians and preventing grasslands in the north. Moreover, the imperial court had no money and domestic disasters were constantly, so he didn't care about the southeast coast at all. But now, the imperial court has announced the opening of the sea, and the imperial court has just announced the decree that the sea tax collected from opening the sea will have various uses. Such a major matter, the imperial court will definitely devote all its energy to the southeast coast. At that time, you outsiders, including the Folangji people, will be targeted by the imperial court!"
Speaking of this, he thought for a while and immediately added: "The court has won consecutive victories in Liaodong. It seems that the time for Jianlu to be annihilated is not far away. At that time, a million troops will go south. To put it bluntly, Zheng Yiguan has such a large backstage. Is there any part in our talking at this sea?"
