Chapter 1570

The messengers came, but the big purchase expected by many merchants in Jinling did not arrive as scheduled.

After seeing Zhu Zhanji, the messengers stayed in the post house honestly when they came back. Only the second sister Shi often brought people out to buy with her cheeks full of joy.

Disappointed, someone went to inquire, and then got the news.

Xinghe Bo and zheng he threatened to destroy the country if there were foreign ministers!

"When was Daming so domineering?"

"The first emperor was domineering, but how do you feel... Very comfortable?"

"Yes, I feel comfortable, too."

……

In the shipyard, there were many more people on the originally empty berth.

"Pay for it yourself, xinghebo. Our family is poor. Most of it depends on you."

Zheng He was pleased to see that the craftsmen were studying the drawings, and a group of crew members had been on the treasure ship on the shore. They would carry out inspection and report the problems when they found them.

Fang Xing said with a sad face, "Zheng Gong, the landlord has no surplus food!"

"What about that?"

Zheng he stared and said, "we have called back a lot of people. We don't have money? Then we have to prepare to go to the sea to feed fish!"

Fang pointed to the city and said, "how about raising money?"

Zheng He shrunk his eyes and said, "do you want to demonstrate to Peiping? By the way, you can pull many luxury businessmen into the water and expand their momentum."

"Can't you?" said Fang Xingzhen

Zheng He suddenly smiled and said, "our memorial is also impolite. When we stop going to the west, Daming can only go through the house behind closed doors. I don't know if his majesty will order a reprimand after seeing it. Alas! It doesn't matter. At our age, it's time for others to take care of their years."

Fang Xing said with a smile, "Zheng Gong, don't be discouraged. I guess you have to go to the sea at least once. In the future, let the young people do it."

Zheng He nodded and sighed: "our family is old, but... An old hero is in charge of Carpinus and has a thousand miles of ambition... Wang Jinghong is good. Although he has some small shortcomings, he is the best after our family."

Fang woke up and nodded. Wang Jinghong was good, much better than Hong Bao.

There was a quarrel not far away. Several old craftsmen were arguing about the keel laying. The atmosphere was tense and they were even ready to start.

Zheng He said with a smile, "don't worry about them. They are all old craftsmen. Everyone can't leave the ship. So is our family. Even if we die, we hope to die on the ship."

Fang Xing said seriously, "Zheng Gong, Daming will cross the sea and be invincible."

Zheng He laughed and said, "well, our family is looking forward to this day. If we can see it before we die, we will have no regrets!"

……

After Wang Chengyan's four men were arrested to capture their families, the resistance expected by many people did not come.

A shop selling gold and jade in Jinling City welcomed tax collectors today.

The shopkeeper Chen Sheng was a little nervous. The lessons of Wang Chengyan were still there. He didn't dare to say no to the two tax collectors who came in.

"Thirty percent, shopkeeper Chen, this is the rule. In the future, unless the household Department of Peiping changes, it will be thirty percent of the tax for the time being, which will be calculated from today."

One tax collector was recording the types of goods in the store, and the other was seriously introducing the policy.

"Don't think about bribing us. Xing Hebo said that it's hard to take the knife back when it's pulled out. You can try if you don't want your head, so shopkeeper Chen, don't hurt me."

The tax collector saw half of the treasure money exposed in Chen Sheng's sleeve. He opposed the greedy image given by the tax collector in the past and refused to take bribes.

Chen Sheng said bitterly, "you two adults, 30% is too high! If the shop is handed over, the whole family will have to drink the wind and can't live!"

The tax collector sneered and said, "shopkeeper Chen, don't you want to deceive me? Who doesn't know that you can earn several times the profits by selling a censer! Don't cry with me. If you annoy our superiors, your big house will not be guaranteed at that time."

Another tax collector in the record disdained: "shopkeeper Chen, your son went out to hold a woman. It was a big deal! So it's too fake for you to cry poor. Put it away. Come and have a look. There's something wrong with these goods. We'll follow this at that time."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at it carefully with a sad face, and finally nodded helplessly.

When the two tax collectors were finished, they said before they left, "it's good for everyone to do business honestly. If you want to be careful, be careful not to protect your head!"

In this way, the city of Jinling was cleaned up by tax officials and achieved remarkable results.

And there is no reason why they work so hard.

……

"Father, those tax collectors have received rice grain, and the household department has a fair hair. It is heard that his highness acquiesced."

Yan Bingxing regretted that the big market incident had finally been eliminated, and only the first four people were arrested.

And this set an example to others obviously played a role, which made Yan Bingxing sigh endlessly.

Yan Pengju said, "father, today someone went to the stores of those luxury merchants to raise money. They said they wanted to build ships and build new ships."

Yan Bingxing was overjoyed at the speech and asked, "what ship are you building? But you go to sea?"

Yan Peng nodded and said, "yes, Zheng He is also here. These days, he and xinghebo often discuss things at the shipyard, and many craftsmen and crew members have been recalled."

Yan Bingxing trembled with excitement. Yan Pengju hurried to help him.

This is the garden. Under the bleak atmosphere, Yan Bingxing said excitedly, "this is anti purpose!"

Yan Peng raised his voice and said, "father, it is said that your majesty has acquiesced in this matter."

Yan Bingxing scolded, "what do you know? You should get your momentum up. What's more, the older students of Zhixing academy heard that they had gone out?"

"Yes, father, someone went to check it. They said that they went everywhere. They must go everywhere to teach science as usual."

Yan Bingxing stood still, turned sideways to Yan Pengju and said, "that man has ruined his father's reputation. Move and ruin his reputation! Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to be a father in this life."

Yan Peng said in embarrassment, "father, but he didn't go to sea!"

"Rebel!"

"Pa!"

Yan Bingxing slapped him casually. After beating, he looked at the slap print on the eldest son's face. He hated: "the party woke up in Jinling to stir the wind and rain. Jinling, even the whole south, people who hate him don't know how many, vertical and horizontal! Have you read your book for nothing?"

Yan Bing said angrily, "there are always like-minded people. Working together can not only help you expand your contacts, but do you just want to mix up in the Imperial College in your life?"

This was the first time Yan Peng was beaten after he entered school. He covered his face for a long time and said with a bitter smile: "father, that's your highness and crown prince. If he offended too much, the Yan family will be over in the future."

Yan Bingxing was so angry that he raised his hand and prepared to fan it. Finally, he held back and said, "have you ever seen a prince away from the capital? Hmm? Stupid!"

Yan Peng raised his eyes and said, "father, but this is an adventure. If the prince ascends the throne smoothly in the future, our family will not escape exile."

"Fool!"

Yan Bingxing hated iron but not steel and said, "Fang Xing has a deep relationship with his highness, but the more so, the more difficult he will be to get along with himself after his highness ascends the throne. At that time, even if he buys horse bones, his highness will not do anything to our family! Remember, those civil servants don't like his highness very much. How dare he act rashly?"

Yan Pengju was overjoyed at the speech and asked, "father, do you mean... Is it similar to Dingguo?"

Yan Bingxing said with satisfaction: "yes, the Duke is still a national, but he is still used by his majesty to fight. Compared with him, what is that awakening!"
