Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 977 Exposing Overseas Information
The plot of the novel has developed here, which has aroused the interest of the audience.

After being reminded by the pig's feet, they suddenly realized that they were indeed negligent.

Are the people outside the sea really that rich? Where did they get their money?

If you know the source of the silver of the Outer Sea Fans, how could you not be tempted by the domineering nature of the southeast coastal clan in the novel?

Ordinary audiences are just curious, but some powerful audiences are really interested.

In an era of underdeveloped productivity, it is naturally impossible for information to circulate too fast, and some information will not spread everywhere at all.

Dagan has never closed the sea, and the trade between the southeast region and overseas has always been very active, and even in the capital there are foreign fans.

Of course, most of them appear as missionaries and are not very popular.

But it cannot be denied that the knowledge mastered by these missionaries also has some merits. The palace specially hired painters from abroad.

The dignitaries in Beijing seldom deal with them, because everyone's way of thinking is different, and it feels weird to chat with them.

Of course, the handful of bigwigs at the top of the court just had a vague idea in their minds, and the specific situation was not very clear.

With such ability, several maritime merchant families rooted in Fucheng couldn't help but look at the pig's feet differently, knowing that the new prefect is a capable person.

But they never thought of asking these foreign missionaries why those foreign businessmen are so rich.

To do business with foreign fans, you don't necessarily have to go to the southeast coast. There are many places in the southern region that are also close to the sea.

Once such a thought arises, it will be impossible to suppress it.

The local wealthy family behind him, that is, his wife's family, was obviously forcing him to a dead end, and he didn't have the demeanor of a behind-the-scenes proprietor at all.

However, when Zhujiao knew the information, he was helpless except for shock.

But the pig's feet are not ungrateful, they don't recognize human nature when they get benefits, and can only do their best to meet the requirements of the boss behind them.

It's just that the pig's feet are vaguely aware that something is wrong, and at this time, the local Haoqiang behind him is still urging him endlessly, wanting to get more benefits.

Of course, it was not quite the same as the turmoil caused by the plot of the previous novel, and soon the minds of many listeners were attracted by the subsequent plot of the novel.

After receiving the letter of approval, the dignitaries in Beijing also regretted it.

Even if you don't know much about the maritime trade income of the southeast coastal clans, you still know that it is definitely a profiteering industry.

The dignitaries in Beijing suddenly realized that although they couldn't go directly to the New World to dig gold and silver, they could make a lot of money doing business with them.

Even the big clans on the southeast coast who have ocean-going capabilities dare not take risks lightly, let alone them.

If the other party wants to establish a foundation here in Fucheng and forcefully squeeze into the profiteering maritime trade circle, they naturally need a subsidiary force that is waving the flag and clamoring for a strong momentum.

But the local tyrants behind it forced the pig's feet to make a move, allowing them to forcibly intervene in the cargo supply chain of those maritime merchants.

If it goes further, it is really not sure whether it is good or bad, and the requirements and appetite of the proprietor behind it may become bigger and bigger.

The information obtained by the pig's feet is not only about where the huge amount of silver from foreign fans comes from, but also many situations in the South China Sea.

Think about it, the financial revenue of the former Ming Dynasty was often not even tens of millions of taels of silver.

It took a lot of effort for the pig's feet, and through some twists and turns, finally got some information from the crew of the overseas fan.

However, the novel "Overseas Founding" is sold nationwide by the imperial merchant Xue's family. At this time, the novel has been distributed all over the country, and it is impossible to stop it.

Those sailors who came with the ship, as well as the crew at the bottom, must have known something, but no one would take the initiative to ask them in the past.

Not to mention the dignitaries in Beijing and China, wherever the novel "Overseas Founding of a Country" spreads, the local forces there will have their thoughts.

Among other things, she can talk to the mistress of the main branch, and often communicates by letter, and the relationship is maintained very well.

If you can get enough benefits, that would be the best.

The place behind the pig's feet is powerful, and they are not local snakes. They are also outsiders, and it is normal for them to hook up.

It can be said that Jia Rong's original purpose of writing this novel has been achieved.

He still has abilities, and his foresight and knowledge are very good. In addition, in a place with a strong commercial atmosphere such as the coastal city, he can still see the corners and corners that the local forces don't care about, and give enough to the proprietor behind him. benefit returns.

Moreover, it is the world of foreigners, and it is not easy for the Nanming Fleet to gain a foothold there, and they must face endless vicious pirates.

Only some bosses with a keen sense of smell faintly felt that something was wrong.

Who knows if it's possible that the foreign congress will covet Daqian?
No one dares to guarantee such a thing.

If it is done properly, it is not impossible to catch the tailwind of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and there are still some opportunities.

If the pig's feet want to make a difference, they naturally have to know about the countries in the southern sea area. The more detailed the information, the better.

However, it is not so easy to inquire about the situation of the countries in the South China Sea, and there are also big clans in the southeast coast who intend to block the news.

If it follows the normal route, it should be stabilized for a few years and establish a good relationship with the local maritime merchants. Maybe there will be a breakthrough in maritime trade.

As for the able-bodied dignitaries in Beijing, they directly asked about the situation of foreign missionaries in the capital, and wanted to ask if this was the case.

In addition, they are very sensitive to things like religion, so very few people are willing to actively deal with them.

In particular, the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War is ambitiously planning to develop maritime business. After all, the pig's feet have been in the Ministry of War and have a colleague friendship with that Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Pig's feet are not having a good time, and the tyrants who have supported him to where he is now are like urging him to cooperate in snatching part of the benefits under his rule.

This is, intending to place a heavy bet on this descendant of the first line, as for the pig's feet, he temporarily gave up, after all, the resources of his wife's natal family are limited.

But if he doesn't agree, it is estimated that his future in the officialdom will stop here.

The foreign businessmen I found, as well as the missionaries who came with the ship, all talked about it without any intention of revealing the details.

Now that you know that foreign fans are not bad for money, why should the rich families in the southeast coast get all the benefits?

And the rhetoric in the novel is all real things.

Now, with the reminder from Jia Rong's novel, it is natural not to miss the opportunity.

Don't even think about it, it naturally flows in from the open sea.

The living habits of overseas missionaries are very disliked by the rich and powerful.

That is, silk, tea and porcelain, which are very popular in maritime trade, are the core interests of those maritime merchant families. How could they easily give up part of their shares?
If the local tyrants behind it were tampering with the delivery of these materials, the loss would be huge, and it might directly affect the business reputation of a certain maritime merchant family.

Overseas fanzi found a huge land in the open sea, rich in gold and silver minerals, how could they be so lucky?
Thinking about it feels exciting, it may be a mountain of gold and silver.

In short, the plot of the novel that quickly became popular throughout Dagan has attracted many people and forces to pursue lucrative overseas interests.

Could it be that the energy of his wife's natal family is not enough for him to go one step further, just to maximize his benefits and squeeze out all his use value?
Pig's feet naturally couldn't agree, and of course they didn't directly refuse, but turned on the procrastination mode, and inquired about the situation at his wife's natal home.

Although the Daqian Empire does not have a serious statistical organization, it is an indisputable fact that there is more and more money in the country.

The sudden estrangement of the wife's natal family seemed quite abnormal.

Although Zhujiao's wife is only a direct descendant of a local tycoon, with the rise of Zhujiao's status, the right to speak in her natal family has gradually increased.

If it was pig's feet, if the family had a certain amount of ocean power, they wouldn't mind taking the test.

It turned out that Waiyang Fanzi discovered a new piece of land through the ocean, which has a large area and is rich in gold and silver minerals. A large amount of silver shipped to Nanming was dug out from there.

This is no joke!
If the pig's feet were really brave enough to do it, an assassin would come to his door the next day and send him to heaven.

The wife has frequent contact with her natal family, but the attitude of her natal family seems to be a little alienated and indifferent recently.

Fortunately, pig's feet have suffered a lot since childhood, and they have long since honed a tough character by the cruel life, so they can fully afford to wait, just take their time.

They are also interested in the New World, and of course they are more interested in the numerous gold and silver mines there.

The arrogance of the heavens and the kingdoms, and their own national power, are enough to make the top bosses despise foreign powers from abroad.

Is this true?
The audience was full of curiosity when they heard this.

Pig's feet were helpless immediately. Based on his understanding of the big clans in the southeast coast, they would never do something like this that would take such a huge risk.

As for the situation of that huge land, it is impossible for a bottom crew member to know, and the pig's feet didn't ask too much.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it now.

As for the pig's feet, they have actually fulfilled the initial interest demands of the local tycoons behind them, not only in terms of income in money, but also successfully established a foothold in the coastal cities.

Of course, such an idea would never be said out loud, for fear that it would make people laugh.

Where does the increased domestic silver come from?

The most important trade partners of the Maritime Silk Road are actually many island kingdoms in the South China Sea.

Although the several city shipping departments are equivalent to fakes, they can still collect hundreds of thousands of silver every year, which can be seen from this.

If those coastal clans knew about it, he, the magistrate of the coastal prefecture city, would probably be out of pocket. It's not an exaggeration at all.

Let's put it this way, the Maritime Silk Road has been opened up since the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, Nanming also continued this model, so that the country's finances have never had problems.

Even if the future is stuck in the present, he can actually accept it!
After all, he was born in poverty, so even if he entered the officialdom, he didn't have much expectation for his future.

He wanted to ask the foreigners where the large amount of silver in their hands came from, but it didn't go well at first.

It's a pity that his ideas can't represent those rich families in the southeast coast, and they don't have the courage to explore.

In his early thirties, he reached the pinnacle of middle-level officials, and he was already very satisfied.

The news shocked Pig's Knuckles, and he didn't expect the foreign fans to be so lucky.

At first, the overseas missionaries were reluctant to talk about it, but later they heard that the most popular novel in the capital had leaked the news that foreign businessmen had found many gold and silver mines in the New World.

In fact, there is no need for dignitaries in the capital, or foreign missionaries to inquire, Jia Rong's novels quickly give the answer.

Not to mention him, even his wife who has been married for many years also told him bad news.

The rich and powerful are all snobbish creatures, and they are basically self-respecting in front of people whose status is inferior to their own.

To be honest, Zhu Kou was angry and depressed, but he was actually relieved in his heart.

This is normal, and it wouldn't be easy to leak it if it were a pig's foot, so he wasn't too upset, and these people were not the only ones who knew about the situation.

It soon became clear that his wife's natal family was also the proprietor behind him, and one of his descendants had made a name for himself in the officialdom, not only at the prefect level, but also in favor of a certain big boss in the cabinet.

This matter is indeed true!

But in Dagan, the tax system is not much different from that of the previous Ming Dynasty, but the annual tax revenue has reached more than 3000 million taels.

It shouldn't be!

It's not that Dagan's national power is stronger than that of the previous Ming Dynasty, nor is it that the people of Dagan are richer than those of the previous Ming Dynasty, but that there is more silver circulating in the country.

As long as they don't touch their interests, when it's convenient for them, they don't mean to embarrass them.

However, the crew member at the bottom made it very clear that the huge land is probably tens of thousands of miles away from Nanming, and if they go by sea, they will have to float on the sea for at least several months.

If a new continent is well developed, wouldn't it be possible for the foreign countries that discovered it to roll up their sleeves?

Especially the local tyrants and gentry groups on the Jiangnan side, each of them followed suit.

This is quite offensive, and may even lead to fierce conflicts.

As the magistrate of the coastal prefecture, pig's foot has a lot of resources that can be used.

If one day they can't meet the requirements of the proprietor behind him, who knows if they will not hesitate to let him fall into the abyss?

Such cases did not happen twice at the same time, whether it was the greed of the court tycoons or the local tyrants, he had seen them all and had a deep understanding.

Pig's foot still has a conscience, and he has a bottom line in doing things. There are some things he will never do, even if the benefits here are amazing.

For example, in order to counteract the so-called oppression of the local government by the Nanming court, there was a huge Japanese riot...
