People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 63: There is a gap among the southeastern merchants! Chen Han sets off to the southeast!
Next, the head of the Zhang family in Ningbo said, "We know this. The Japanese pirates are the dogs we raise. We can't really let the dogs jump over the wall and anger the local guard officers.

They all adopt guerrilla tactics, shooting and causing riots in different places.

Rather than seeking death, if they really engage in burning, killing, looting, and the local guard officers can't do anything to their superiors, they will have no choice but to beat them to death. This is a tactic they have used before.

All officials know that this is just a way to confront the imperial court.

As long as the Japanese pirates keep coming, they will continue to receive funds from the court. Why wouldn't they?

But if it gets too big, it won't be a matter of funding.

The commotion was too big, and if the Japanese pirates were not eradicated, the leading officer might lose his head.

The officers and soldiers also pretended to lead the troops to chase and kill each other. Everyone put on a show and gave each other face.

If anyone breaks the rules, it will ruin everyone's job.

This is still a tacit understanding in several southeastern provinces.

That's why they said that the Japanese pirates should not be allowed to become too arrogant and that their actions must be restrained.

"Isn't this Chen Han very powerful? Then let him come. I don't believe it. He is a bare-bones governor. What can he do in the southeast?
Have we worked in several southeastern provinces all these years in vain?
After taking so many benefits from us, now these officials have to contribute to us.

Since he wants to be the governor of Zhejiang Province, we have to let him know that without our support, he will be a governor who doesn't keep his word after coming to the southeast. "

These family heads laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, that's how you should deal with them."

"Since the first step of the plan has been disrupted by this guy, we have to implement the second step of the plan. He wants to wipe out the Japanese pirates in half a year, so let's let him die in this job. That's fine. This person is so arrogant, so it's a good idea. Give us the chance to eradicate him."

"We have plenty of opportunities to eradicate this bastard, but we are afraid that some people will take this opportunity to deliberately lure Japanese pirates to destroy other people's families." Someone suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire venue became dull.

A middle-aged man in blue satin who had been in the corner for a while suddenly stood up and said, "That's right!"

He smelled like gunpowder whenever he spoke.

“But we have to make it clear why the Japanese pirates were lured to destroy their family.

Aren’t there just some people who don’t follow the rules?
It was clearly agreed that only our family could handle the silk smuggling business. If other silk shops wanted to smuggle, they had to sell to us.

However, some people saw that silk trading was highly profitable, so they secretly obtained silk with families who could not smuggle it into the sea.

They also went to sea to lower prices with those foreign merchants.

Each piece of silk we produce costs fifteen taels of silver, but others produce one piece of silk worth thirteen taels of silver.

As a result, we became villains, and the overseas relations that we had maintained for many years were inexplicably severed.

We understand it clearly. Of course we want to kill people and silence them. Why, can't we do it?
Some people just dare to do things but dare not take responsibility, so I dare to do things and take responsibility.

I was the one who led the Japanese pirates to destroy the Sun family, how about that? Who told them to break the rules? If I didn’t destroy your family, I would already be giving you face. "

The businessman in blue satin and silk was very angry.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, merchants were not allowed to wear silk.

But this group of businessmen, everyone wears silk and satin, which has already violated the law.

But in the southeast, they are very powerful and the law cannot punish them.

When the blue satin and silk businessman said this, the businessman opposite who just spoke also started to cry.

"We and the Sun family only jointly produced three shiploads of silk, which was less than 10% of the silk you produced. But just because you made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, you killed more than 200 members of the Sun family. You are too evil. It’s big.”

It seems that these people are not monolithic. They compete with each other in the business field and use the knife of Japanese pirates to kill each other. When the head of the Qian family saw this situation, he immediately slapped his hand on the table: "Okay, the traitor Chen Han hasn't come yet, so he will start fighting among himself.

What we are talking about now is how to use Japanese pirates to harass the inland areas. We are not asking you to lead Japanese pirates to kill this and that.

Let me tell you, I know that all of us here have grudges privately, but this time we must unite and deal with Chen Han first.

As for personal vendettas, once Chen Han is gone, you can settle them however you like. "

Although each region and province has its own chamber of commerce, after hundreds of years of development, this group of people has formed an invisible organization like the Southeast Chamber of Commerce.

The Qian family is the president of this chamber of commerce. He is helpless when he looks at the members of the chamber of commerce below, who are all fighting each other to the death, and there have even been tragedies that wiped out each other's clans.

But again, since we have a common enemy, we must unite as one.

……

Earl's Palace.

Chen Han was giving his final explanation to Cao Zhengchun and the others.

"Old Cao, I will leave the capital to you. Protect His Majesty. Our reforms have aroused outrage and resentment. Some people may go to extremes. The palace's treasury will be leaked and the palace will be damaged. You must pay attention."

Cao Zhengchun nodded: "Old slave, remember this!"

Chen Han looked at Li Rubai: "Rubai, you have to report all the news, big and small things in the capital to Eunuch Cao and His Majesty."

Li Rubai nodded: "Here!"

Then he said again: "Old Cao, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, can be trusted. Listen to his opinions more and don't make your own decisions."

Cao Zhengchun nodded: "Here!"

This time Chen Han decided to go to the southeast with Wang Hu, Liu Ting, Li Rusong, and Xu Wei.

Li Rubai and Cao Zhengchun stayed in the capital.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, many civil servants colluded with the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and either set fire to warehouses or the main hall.

This was used to warn the emperor that this was God's punishment, so that the emperor would not dare to implement certain policies.

Chen Han left Cao Zhengchun with Emperor Wanli to protect his puppet.

Cao Zhengchun was also very aware of Chen Han's layout, and kept Chen Han's instructions in mind. At the same time, he also expressed concern: "Tishuai, the trip to the southeast is full of difficulties and dangers. I am not around here, so you should take more care."

Chen Han patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry!"

Chen Han and the others left Yongding Gate at noon.

Head all the way south towards the first destination - Nanzhili Yingtian Mansion, which is Nanjing.

Just after leaving Yongding Gate, Chen Han was in the woods outside the city gate, and vaguely saw what seemed to be Princess Ning'an who was seeing her off.

The two people did not meet, but Chen Han glanced at the woods to the east through the window in the carriage.

Princess Ning'an in the woods also glanced at Chen Han from the carriage window.

She was still somewhat uneasy, and finally came to the gate of Yongding and watched Chen Han go.

The two people's identities cannot be expressed in front of outsiders. They can only look at each other from afar...
