Hearing that someone was worried about the sugar farmers' rebellion, Wang Youdao said: "Don't worry, you can tell the sugar farmers that the production of the official sugar liao is too high and the price cannot be sold in Nanzhili, so the purchase price is lowered."

"Listen to Master Wang, what should I do next?"

Wang Youdao continued: "The second step is to let all sugar farmers go to the official sugar yard to sell sugar cane. I guess they don't have that much cash, and they will definitely close the door and not buy sugar cane. The next step is to encourage sugar farmers to make trouble, so it's best to rush in and burn the sugar yard."

"This is easy to deal with. There are many young men on the streets. But the government wants Mr. Wang to stand up."

Wang Youdao nodded and said, "I have already sent a letter to Guangdong governor Sun, and sued Ma Taifu for the lawsuit, saying that he was competing for profit with the people. Of course, everyone would have to make up the money."

Silver was not a problem. These big sugar merchants quickly raised 10,000 taels of silver and handed it over to Wang Youdao to bribe.

After the discussion, the heads of the family went home to prepare.

Wang Youdao called his butler Wang Fu and said, "Wang Fu, tonight you go to Baisha Island and prepare the manpower. When the sugar farmers start to cause trouble, they must catch those craftsmen when they rush into the sugar dormitory. We must get that sugar-making technology."

Wang Fu nodded and went out to prepare.

It turns out that Wang Youdao is also related to the pirates outside Xuwen. The pirate head on Baisha Island is Wang Youdao's second brother Wang Youde.

Five days later, the foreman of the sugar factory suddenly discovered that there were three times more sugar farmers coming to sell sugarcane every day, and there was an increase. The foreman knew that the prefect left 10,000 taels of silver before leaving, and after building the factory, there were only less than 5,000 taels of silver. This open purchase could only last for less than ten days.

The foreman knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly went out to find out the reason. It turned out that other local sugar yards had all lowered the purchase price of sugar cane, which was reduced to only one tael per stone. Sugar farmers naturally came here to sell it at high prices.

The foreman found that it was not good. He had collected thousands of stones of sugarcane, which was enough for half a month to produce. He quickly ordered the purchase to stop and then went out to find the magistrate of Xuwen. The magistrate had already greeted the magistrate of Xuwen and asked them to take care of him.

The county magistrate of Xuwen is named Tang Qiu. This guy is from Zhejiang and is considered an external member of the Donglin Party. Tang Qiu is not good at studying, and the competition in Zhejiang is fierce, so he was only admitted to the juren until he was forty years old. You should know that Jin Juren and Yin Jinshi are also very awesome.

Seeing that there was no hope of imperial examinations, Tang Qiu found Donglin's boss Qian Qianyi, and found a ministry election to Xuwen to become an official.

Tang Qiu was very happy to hear that the new magistrate was the leader of the Ma family, Ma Jiyuan. The Ma family was also considered the Donglin Party. When Ma Guoan was alive, he had a close relationship with Donglin boss Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou.

But unexpectedly, Ma Jiyuan came and was very cold to Tang Qiu, which made the Tang County Magistrate very depressed. He also told Prison Ma in private that he was Qian Qianyi's man, but Prison Ma still treated him with the cold attitude.

What Tang Qiu didn't know was that Qian Qianyi's daughter is now the princess of King Zhu Hongsan of Chu, and she had already threatened Ma Xiaofang. How could Ma Jiyuan, who was a hard-core and sect, become enthusiastic about Tang Qiu?

This is already considered a gentleman. If you want to replace Ma Mingyuan and Feng Ziyong, you will not secretly kill the unlucky county magistrate of Tang. You will be sorry for Qian Qianyi.

Although Magistrate Ma did not like him, the Tang county magistrate still wanted to welcome the Shangguan. So when Ma Jiyuan was leaving, he told Tang Qiu to take care of the sugar factory, and Tang Qiu was very concerned about this matter.

After hearing the foreman's report, Tang Qiu immediately found Wang Youdao and asked what was going on.

Wang Youdao naturally pushed for the sixth and two fifths, and kept complaining that the production cost of the official sugar yard was too low and he was ready to stop doing it.

Tang Qiu first believed what Wang Youdao said, after all, he had also received Wang Youdao's money. He went back and told the truth to the foreman and wrote a letter to Ma Jiyuan to explain, wanting the official sugar cottage to reduce the output.

The Tang Da County Magistrate thought it was beautiful, but the reality was very skinny. On the third day when his letter was sent, things worsened, and the angry sugar farmers began to attack the official sugar yard.

At first, the Tang Dynasty County Magistrate didn't take it seriously and sent a few yamen runners to suppress them. Unexpectedly, he received news in the afternoon that the sugar farmer killed two yamen runners, and the matter was out of control.

The Tang Da County Magistrate just came to Xuwen to be the county magistrate this year. He still wanted to make progress. Now that such a big thing has happened to his rule, the first thing he thought about is not to report it first, as it is best to solve it locally.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty's county magistrate condescends to Wangjiazhuang to find Wang Youdao.

When Tang Qiu saw Wang Youdao, he asked, "Master Wang, why did this happen? Now that someone is dead, don't you let your people stop?"

"Mr. Tang, this is really not what I mean. The sugar price is now very low. If we want to buy sugarcane at the original price, we will have to pay. Lord Tang can't watch us beg for food."

Tang Qiu was very unhappy when he heard Wang Youdao say this, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want by Lord Wang?"

When Wang Youdao saw Tang Qiu say this, he felt that there was no need to pretend and said, "It's very simple, the official sugar ward has been suspended."

"This is impossible. It was done by the prefect himself. If the production is suspended, how can you tell me to explain in front of the prefect?"

"Lord Tang doesn't have to worry about it at all. We have sent someone to Guangdong to ask the governor Sun, and ask him to transfer Ma Tai to leave. Isn't everything going well?"

Tang Qiu said in his heart: "The governor Sun Chaorang is not as powerful as the Ma family." But he did not say this to Wang Youdao. After all, Tang Qiu and Ma Jiyuan were both Donglin Party. Although he didn't know why Ma Jiyuan was not proud of him, he still had to look towards Ma Jiyuan at critical moments.

When Tang Qiu heard that Wang Youdao had already involved the governor, he was not ready to take care of himself and had a small position. This would make the prefect Ma worry about this.

After Tang Qiu returned to the county government office, he wrote a letter to Ma Jiyuan, tactfully mentioning Wang Youdao's meaning. Tang Qiu felt that as the Donglin lineage, he had already completed his benevolence and righteousness.

The letter was delivered to Ma Jiyuan three days later, and Ma Jiyuan was shocked. He knew the importance of the sugar industry to the King of Chu, and there was no mistake.

Ma Jiyuan quickly replied to Tang Qiu. In the letter, he thanked Tang Qiu for his timely notification, and ordered Tang Qiu to suppress the matter. At the same time, Ma Jiyuan thought that this was his first time to come out to stand alone, so he did not notify King Zhu Hongsan of Chu in time, thinking that he should be able to handle it well.

The transportation in the Ming Dynasty was really backward. When Ma Jiyuan's letter was delivered to Tang Qiu, it was already five days later. Things had developed to an irreversible level.

Several managers from the sugar factory were all from Dongguan and were used to being domineering in Dongguan. Unexpectedly, the little Xuwen was so angry that in the conflict with the sugar farmers, a manager shot and killed a sugar farmers.

This time, the hornet's nest was stabbed. Under the instigation of those who were interested, the sugar farmers began to attack the sugar factory. Finally, the sugar factory was burned and two managers were killed. All the craftsmen were captured.

Now Tang Qiu knew that the matter was getting worse and told Ma Jiyuan the truth. Ma Jiyuan was helpless about this kind of thing, so he had to write about the local Hai'an office in Xuwen and wanted to ask the local garrison for help. However, the local garrison had long received the benefits of Wang Youdao, and ignored Ma Jiyuan's request for reasons of being uncoherent.

This time, Ma Jiyuan had no choice but to write a letter to Dongguan for help.

Ma Mingyuan did not dare to hide the letter from his elder brother and told the truth to King Zhu Hongsan of Chu.

Zhu Hongsan was very angry. When the matter was in an unsolvable state, Ma Jiyuan reported himself, delaying the best time to solve the problem. Now Xu Wen is in such a state of trouble, and he can only cut the mess with a quick knife. However, he has been transferred from Dongguan to the place for less than half a month. I don’t know if the craftsmen can save their lives.

So Zhu Hongsan thought about it and had to mobilize Zhou Yu's troops in Qiongzhou. They had only one Leizhou Strait from Xuwen and could arrive in two days. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan was afraid that other forces would intervene in this matter, so he sent three new warships built by the shipyard, that is, the new sea ship with keels that are steel.

This is the result of the shipyard working hard in the past few months. Yan Qingshan was very excited when he received the order from Zhu Hongsan. There were twenty artillery guns on each new warship, and Yan Qingshan wanted to drive them out to try the guns very early.

This time, after receiving the military order from Zhu Hongsan, he quickly led his pirate team to the south from the Nantou Military Port in Xin'an County and headed straight for Leizhou Prefecture.
