Chapter 79 The Government Is Not a Bandit
Looking at the Japanese samurai who suddenly burst into anger, and then was held against the head by the barrel of the gun, Cai Feiming shook his head with a smile, turned his face and said to Feng Jun beside him: "This guy's acting is good, he just doesn't respond positively."

Feng Jun also saw that he was making a name for himself, and nodded: "Playing Laozi, practicing Tai Chi, and thinking about fooling us away."

"Give this idiot a haircut."

"Well, get a haircut."

After the consensus was reached, Cai Feiming made a gesture to Wang Xiaohui and the others who were idle and bored, then turned around and poked Dongye Uetoru's chest with his fingers, imitating Dongye's style yin and yang strangely and said: "It's really nerve-racking, please Dongye-kun. See something more rude."

Toru Higashino was stunned to see the large fireworks with white tail smoke blowing the gate to pieces, and then a man from the Ming Kingdom who was only five steps away from him used a weird iron cannon to blast the wall in the distance. The place where the turtledove gun was erected was smashed to pieces, a gap the size of a washbasin was knocked out of the wall, broken wood flew, and several people on the ground were screaming.

After the AK's gunfire ceased, Cai Feiming grabbed the collar of Toru Higashino, and said with a grin, "Take it off? Hehe, now there are only half a column of incense left. If you dare to bother Lord Mingguo to attack the fortress, please let me know. You bastards, go to hell; come out and apply for the certificate honestly, you can save your life and wealth, go back and discuss it yourself."

The three staggering Japanese returned.

Looking at their backs, Feng Jun said thoughtfully, "Won't you rush out to play with a bunch of people later? This book is good at this, and you will be honored."

"That's a soldier, or a cannon fodder rogue." Cai Feiming lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "Zhu Yinchuan are all noble nobles, and only big businessmen have the ability to organize. The leaders of expatriate business groups like Ma Lian , they are all well-rounded professional managers, the golden collars in the samurai class, and they have long since left the low-level fun. Playing with personality and losing the property of the big guy behind him will have a good end when he goes back?"

Just when the invaders outside waited impatiently, the people in the stockade finally filed out.I hadn't seen it before, but there were three hundred small people popping out of the small stockade.Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Jun hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie from the back to call for support. After a while, a large number of people from the Transmigration Group rushed over, and cooperated with the team to separate these people according to their nationalities, and then started one by one. clean up.

In addition to the original more than 100 Japanese in the stockade, there are more than 30 Fujian fishermen among the remaining people.After all these goods were driven aside, what was left in the end, the largest number, were more than 100 Banda slaves that the Dutch transported to the chief.

Five years ago, in 5, the current Batavia governor, Cohen, launched a crackdown on the natives of Banda Island in order to monopolize the nutmeg trade. The reason was that the natives traded spices privately with the British.

More than 15000 Banda natives were killed, and all the rest were distributed to various places as slaves, and the Banda natives were wiped out.The Banda slaves who once participated in the fortification with Da Yuan in Penghu, now there are only about 100 slaves left, and there are also a few Malays mixed in them.

All the Bandars were loaded onto small boats and transported back to their home, the shanty town at the foot of the business building.The Fujian fishermen, who wore brown and blue ramie cloth jackets and tied their hair in buns, were all caught up with the Japanese "Deer House" Zhuyin ship as temporary boatmen-the cable rudder had been found from the stockade, and the ship was seized. Temporary requisition, responsible for pulling people and goods back and forth.

The 100 or so Japanese who have all kinds of surrogate heads are the key monitoring targets.Most of these people were merchants and their entourage, and some sailors.The books were uniformly gathered in the open space in front of the village gate, where they knelt and sat there in rows, surrounded by gunmen.

As for how to deal with this group of goods, it depends on the opinions of high-level officials.However, everyone at the top knows what they are going to do, so naturally they have no time to talk to them.

The most common goods in Japanese villages are deerskins. This soft fur is the best lining for samurai armor, and it is the biggest source of motivation for the Japanese to try to get a foot in Tainan for many years.The early books tended to occupy Tainan by force. After the 1615-strong army was captured by the typhoon in 4000, the next year sent people to "collect taxes", but they returned with a bad luck.

Since then, the Japanese have used trade to obtain deerskins.By improving relations with the natives, the Japanese obtained permission to build a stronghold in the inland of the Taijiang River.With this small stockade, merchants can be arranged to sit on the ground to buy deerskins all year round. After the arrival of the Zhuyin ship in winter, they will find that the goods have been stocked up.

Of course, due to the different nature, it is naturally impossible for the crossing forces to swallow up the Japanese goods in one bite like the Dutch goods were confiscated. ,
Although the Dutch are latecomers, there is no doubt that they are exercising government functions in their ranks.The war between the Crossing Company and the East India Company was the standard battle for power.However, the Japanese stockade is essentially a foreign trade station, cold storage, and waste collection station.

The people who traveled worked hard to come here, the purpose is to establish political power and build a new world order. Those who robbed people were the most unscrupulous bandits, not the government.

Therefore, when the newly opened high-level government leader Mr. Xia Xianze saw the Japanese silver bars, he immediately held an on-site meeting and pointed out: the establishment of a bill-based international trade system is a hot issue in current international trade, and it is a new situation for all parties involved. Important consensus that must be reached.Taking into account the favorable situation of good neighborliness and friendship between the two sides over the years, it is necessary for the two sides to further cooperate and set an example for other members in multilateral trade.

In line with the principle of mutual benefit, Xia Xianze pointed out that the Crossroad Group should give full play to its own advantages and help Japanese merchants with weak technical ability to maximize the value of traded items.In this process, the Japanese side got the opportunity to upgrade its trade system to advanced instrumentation, gained valuable experience, and further strengthened the friendship between the two sides.In the foreseeable future, the growing multilateral trade situation occupies the commanding heights for itself.

Regarding the Crossroad Group itself, Xia Xianze pointed out that the current international trade situation is complicated. As the initiator of the transaction of billing, it is inevitable that some problems will arise in the future. We must be fully mentally prepared.As far as Japanese silver is concerned, no matter how much gold and other precious metals are extracted from it, we must accept it calmly.

The interim meeting also discussed several other issues concerning Japanese merchants, and finally made the following decisions:
1: Considering that the Japanese businessmen who do not know the truth have a certain probability of resistance to the negotiating, the traversal forces decided to reduce or exempt some of the taxes payable by the Japanese businessmen who purchased deerskins here in the previous ten years.

2: Considering that Da Yuan's shanty towns are already overwhelmed, the Japanese merchants are allowed to stay in the village for a period of time and will be relocated as soon as possible in the future.

3: All goods in the village must be registered in the warehouse, and the storage fee can be appropriately reduced or exempted for Japanese merchants. In the future, Japanese merchants will not be allowed to privately purchase native products from local residents.

The meeting also discussed other outstanding matters.
