Chapter 37: Catch (2)

Chen Bosen put down his wine glass and began to ponder silently.

He could actually guess some of the other party’s intentions. The so-called “no profit” cannot get up early. The reason why he proposed to let the Japanese go ashore and stay for the business of these maritime merchants is also for the sake of their business.

"Without this precedent, the clothes and words do not match the Celestial Empire, so there may be criticism!" Chen Bosen said in a deep voice.

"So I said, just give them some small place and not let them enter the inner city!" Zhou Dehong smiled, "Since this way, there will be no criticism!"

As he said that, he said, "If someone comes to give money thousands of miles away, he always has to give him a place to stay, right? Otherwise, let's first make our Ming Dynasty too mean, right?"

Chen Bosen still did not let go, "You must know that the identity of the Japanese is a problem. If it is a merchant from another country, it is not that they cannot enter the city, nor that they cannot stay here forever!"

"When this dynasty and the previous dynasty were alternating, and in the early days of the founding of the country, Japanese pirates made trouble here a lot! In the third, seven, and eleven years of Hongwu, they all went ashore to rob and cause death!"

"Not only the people in the court have all the people, even the local people are not willing to let the Japanese go ashore!"

Zhou Dexing smiled again and said, "My lord is concerned, but I don't think so. The Japanese are coming, but they are not Japanese pirates. The Japanese are Japanese, and the Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates. They cannot be generalized!"

"I'm not nice to say that the Japanese pirates are all old. You can't stop interacting with each other just because you have had trouble with the Japanese pirates, right? In that case, you might as well just close the Ningbo Port and not do business with them!"

"Look forward in everything, there are good people and bad people everywhere!"

"It should be said that everything must be looked at money!" Chen Bosen said with a smile.

Zhou Dexing continued, "Sir, think about it, after the Japanese have been stationed, will the amount of sea trade be increased? Will there be more taxes? If there are more taxes, it is your political achievements!"

The term political achievements is spoken to Chen Bosen's heart.

"In addition, the Japanese people said it too! It's useless to stay!" Zhou Dexing whispered, "There will be filial every year! I know that you are honest and honest, but do you want to get some scattered silver if you don't have enough money, but do you want to get some scattered silver for the third yamen runners?"

"The wasteland and slopes outside the city are rented to Japanese merchants. Or simply build the shops and sell them to Japanese merchants. You can also collect taxes every month! Sir, this is not a scattered silver money!"

"Whenever there was any levy in the city, the Japanese merchants would also contribute money and efforts. They also said that living in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was their parents' country!"

Chen Bosen frowned and said, "You are just money when you open your mouth and shut up!"

"I am a businessman, it's so vulgar!" Zhou Dehong smiled.

"It's still the same thing, it's important. I can't make the decision!" Chen Bosen still refused, "I have to make a long-term plan!"

Zhou Dehong knew the meaning of the other party’s long-term plan. This is how officials are. He will not nod easily without seeing real benefits or prospects.

At this moment, a deafening noise suddenly came from outside.

"What's going on?" Zhou Dehong said angrily.

"Master, Master!" Yi Zhou's family manager ran in quickly, his face pale, "Official army! The official army is rushing into our mansion!"

~~~

"Full up, don't leave inside and outside!"

Ningbo Hai Defense Geng Zhenwu was wearing iron armor and stood in the yard with his waist knife without being angry.

While his soldiers surrounded the Zhou family, both the masters and slaves of the Zhou family were pulled out of the house and pressed them in the yard.

"Geng Shoujie, make your people more honest!"

Behind Geng Zhenwu, Jing Qing, wearing an official robe, said solemnly, "I am going tolerate you, but Commander He from the Jinyiwei will not tolerate you!" As he said that, he looked at He Guangyiwei, who was holding the Jinyiwei to press the formation on the other side.

"I will know at the end!" Geng Zhenwu smiled heartily.

He was not stupid. He came to the Zhou family to arrest people and search the houses, which was different from killing Japanese pirates at sea. The money he searched was not a stolen stolen, and he didn't dare to swallow it at all.

Besides, he had offended He Guangyi for his military merits, so naturally he would not offend the provincial censor again.

However, when I think of the hundreds of thousands of silver coins I salvaged, I directly asked the scholar to take half of them to take, which made me feel very painful.

There is no way, who can give me a handle in other people's hands?

Besides, he now understood that he was the Censor, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Japanese pirates. This time the Zhou family is doomed! Ningbo Navy merchants are all going to be in trouble! His butt is not clean, so he dare not be bold and reckless.

"This time, after making military achievements in killing Japanese pirates, I will go to the capital to move around and have a few civil servants who have suffered plague as a guarantee in the place. It should be no big problem!" Geng Zhenfang was instructing people to arrest people, and thought to himself, "Who should I look for when I go to the capital?"

Thinking of it, his mind lit up, "Yes, go and go to Duke Cao's way."

When he thought of this, he felt pain again.

If Duke Cao is not given a heavy gift, I am afraid it won’t work!

~~

"These servants don't have to worry about them, arrest their housekeeper's account!"

The Jinyiwei was familiar with the matter of raiding houses. He Guangyi shouted, "All warehouses should be sealed immediately. No one should be opened without the life of the capital! If there is a private treacherous person, he will be killed! All the accounts with the characters in the Zhou family, even a piece of paper, must be concentrated."

"Here!"

Compared with the soldiers who arrested people, the Jinyiwei who searched the house was much more professional. He did not shout loudly, kicked, and pushed, and did things in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a terrified and confident shout came from the front.

"Geng Shouji, where did my Zhou family offend you?"

In front, Zhou Dehong, with a little scattered hair, was dragged by several soldiers, his face full of anger, and shouted, "If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, you will definitely not give up. Are you easy to bully if you think my Zhou family?"

"Fuck!" Geng Zhenwu stepped forward, slapped his mouth wide, almost knocking Zhou Dehong unconscious. "I am on order to do things and use it to explain to you, who are you?"

"You..." Zhou Dehong was furious.

He lived in poverty for years, and many scholars and Jinshi were born in his family. Not to mention the garrison of Qiu Ba, he was called brothers and brothers with the prefect and the senior officials of the governor's yamen. When did he suffer such humiliation?

But before he could speak, a flying fish suit broke into his eyes.

"Are you the head of the Zhou family?" He Guangyi asked.

"Are you?" Zhou Dehong's heart trembled.

"Bendu, commander of the Jinyiwei!" He Guangyi sneered, "The incident of your communication with the Japanese has been revealed!"

"Ah!" Zhou Dehong's face was ashamed for a moment, and then he shouted unwillingly, "You frame me! You frame me! I... I'm going to go to the governor to sue you... There are people in my court..."

"Leave some face for yourself!" Another angrily rebuked, Jing Qing stepped forward, "Do you recognize me?"

"You..." Zhou Dehong was stunned, "Jing Kongzhang?"

It's over, it's over!

In an instant, Zhou Dehong knew that the Zhou family was finished.

The troops and horses of Ningbo Hai defense, the commander of the Jinyiwei and a provincial censor came in person, and the Zhou family was finished! Even if there were someone in the Zhou family in the court, it would be finished.

At this moment, another scream came from the side.

Geng Zhenwu's personal soldiers pulled out a man from the bushes, "Master General, is there still someone hidden?"

Geng Zhenwu went over and took a look, "Ha, isn't this the prefect? ​​What are you doing in the grass? Looking for insects to eat?"

Chen Bosen was also ashamed and waved his hand to Jing Qing, "I don't know what happened, but he actually alarmed the censor!"

"You are here too, so it's a waste of trouble!" Jing Qing smiled coldly and snorted.

In the blink of an eye, the Zhou family, which was just as magnificent as heaven and earth, immediately fell to the mortal world.
