Chapter 1138： The brigade first, bribe first

Before Kongtai came to Keelung, the Pingpu tribe Kaedalan, who lived near Keelung Bay, although living on the beach, was short of salt.

Possibly, in the eyes of modern people, isn't salt the simple thing that can be obtained by boiling sea water to dryness. I was too scared to imagine that I was short of salt by the sea.

However, it is such a simple truth that the ancients, especially the Ketagalans who were still in the maternal commune society, could not have imagined. Therefore, for the Ketagalans, their salt mainly comes from the blood of their prey and the salty rocks (rock salt) on the land. With good luck, you may be able to pick up natural salt on the beach after the ebb tide. However, they just don't cook sea salt ...

Moreover, Kong Tai is also lucky. Previously, with the help of Liu Laogen, several "miracles" were displayed with the solar stove in front of the local indigenous chieftains, bluffing the local Fan people. Therefore, although the eye-catching Kong Tai ate the salt he couldn't finish, the local Fan people did not dare to make it, and never thought of snatching Kong Tai's salt. Because the previous performances of the **** sticks greatly deterred the local Fan people. To make those Fanmin think that Kong Tai is a big immortal, naturally he would not dare to make it. Kong Tai hired their young and strong to work, and they did not dare to disobey. It would be hard to say if there was no magical stick performance previously performed with a solar stove ...

Know that although the Taiwanese Pingpu people are relatively gentle, they are compared with the brutal and aggressive inland Gaoshan people. In fact, as Fanmin, they are not bad at all. Just like the original Spanish colonists in history, San Salvador was established on Heping Island, but he was frightened by the Kadaglan people on Tai Island who was afraid to land and could only hide in the fortress of Heping Island belly. Because, the Kedalan people are also very fierce. Although the weapons are backward, they have a fierce temperament and they are also deadly in fighting.

Kong Tai used the sun stove to jump on the gods and bluffed the chieftains of the Ketagalan people, so that the local indigenous people did not dare to make it. Otherwise, use the javelin spear to teach you to be a man ...

Now, in the eyes of the local Kedalan, Kong Tai is "Kong Daxian", a ruthless person who can spell. Therefore, Kong Tai hired them to work, so they had to be happy.

However, although Kong Tai stole the door and didn't pay, he was not stingy. For example, those indigenous young people wanted to bring some sweet potato rice back to their families, and Kong Tai agreed without hesitation. After all, sweet potatoes are so productive that they can be bad if you do n’t eat them.

Then, the old and young of the Ketagalan people in several nearby villages simply built a simple village near the new city to facilitate those young and strong to go home. At the same time, it is also convenient to come to the site to rub rice ...

As soon as it was time for dinner, the men, women and children in the village of Kaida Gran came over to queue up to pick up sweet potatoes. Kong Tai harvested millions of pounds of sweet potatoes, but he was not afraid of being poor. There is only one thing. These people will never allow themselves to spoil the sweet potatoes in the field, lest the sweet potato fields will be destroyed and affect the yield.

Slowly, more than 3,000 Kedalan natives in several nearby villages lived a more orderly life around the newly constructed Keelung city. Moreover, they also began to learn sweet potato planting techniques from Han farmers such as Liu Laogen and gave up the primitive social soil turtle farming techniques of slash and burn in the past and changed to the Han-style farming model. Then, local men went to work in Keelung City construction site, women went to the field to learn how to grow sweet potatoes ... And when it was time for dinner, the local indigenous family and young people all went to the construction site cafeteria to eat rice ... This life is a bit like a collective farm ... …

……

When Marin saw Kong Tai, Kong Tai was wearing a helmet. However, instead of wearing armor, he wore ordinary cloth and short clothes suitable for work. In that way, it looks like a foreman returning from inspecting the construction site. The helmet on the head is like a hard hat popular on the construction site ...

When it was heard that the indigenous people now call Kong Tai "Kong Daxian", Marin laughed a little and got a stomachache. Then, Marin and others ate a typical farm meal under the arrangement of Contai's wife Maria ...

The chef of this meal was originally drawn by the women in the chicken cage village where Liu Laogen was originally located. Not a high-end dish, but also quite distinctive. The group ate with relish, and drank the sweet potato wine made by the villagers with sweet potatoes. Although the wine is a bit turbid, it doesn't taste like it.

After eating and drinking, Marin and Kong Tai came to the private room to have a private conversation ...

"How? What is the situation in Daming now?"

Kong Tai frowned:

"Not very good. It is said that the Ming Dynasty is now chaotic. The eunuch, Liu Jin, has the power. The Chaotang has been smashed by him. Officials everywhere have to bribe them for self-protection. It is said that officials everywhere go to Beijing to worship To bribe him, as little as one thousand two hundred silver, as many as five thousand two ... "

"Stop! That's not what I want to hear!" Marin was annoyed. He could hear that obviously these were the opinions of the Ming Dynasty folks, and more of the views of the Ming Dynasty civil servants. But is it his fault? He wanted to obtain trade qualifications, not to care about the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

So, he rudely reprimanded:

"What I want you to explore is whether we can enclose the Ming dynasty, not the internal question of the Ming dynasty. Liu Jin will harm the Ming dynasty again, what is our business? If the court can admit it, what if even bribing Liu Jin?

"Bribe Liu Jin? Is that bad reputation?" Kong Tai hesitated ...

Marin was almost ridiculed:

"Fame? What reputation do we have? To Ming officials, we are barbarians, uncivilized savages, what reputation can we have? All I want is to become a Ming official, not to be a model of the Ming Dynasty!" Kong Tai Guys, the thoughts were a little closer to the Ming literati, making Marin speechless.

"If Liu Jin collapsed, would we be implicated? After all, bribing Liu Jin, after he collapsed, would be considered inverse ..." Kong Tai's remarks were fair and reasonable.

Moreover, Marin remembered that Liu Jin seemed to have fallen this year. It was probably impeached in August of the lunar calendar and then killed. He was killed because of the Anhua King's rebellion, in the name of crusting Liu Jin. After such a mess, the Emperor Zhengde could no longer keep him, so he had to push Liu Jin back. At the same time, he ate up Liu Jin's family and ate a lot.

You should know that when Liu Jin ’s family property was seized, there were actually 2.5 million ounces of gold and 50 million ounces of silver, which was the richest man in the world at that time. Even the European billionaire Marin is not worth mentioning in front of Liu Jin's huge property. You know, the 2.5 million two golds alone are worth more than 26.19 million gold coins, not counting the 50 million two silvers ...

However, these have nothing to do with Marin. All he wants is to get the identity of the Ming Dynasty Toast ~ www.novelhall.com ~ so that he can go to the Ming Dynasty to purchase and do business at any time.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to bribe Liu Jin in order to obtain the status of Ming Dynasty Tusi as soon as possible. Moreover, bribery is also a shortcut. Because, generally speaking, the traitor after receiving money is still very efficient. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will take a long time to teach those honest civil servants to discuss. But this matter must be paid close attention to, because Liu Jin will fall in August. If it is late, the bribe money will float.

So, Marin ordered:

"Kong Tai, you immediately sent someone inland, secretly contacted Hu Jian's Jin Yiwei, gave Zu Yinzi, let them pass through on behalf of him, and asked to see Liu Jin. Then, send 12,000 silver!"

"Don't you go through the mansion?"

Marin rolled his eyes:

"We are bribery, of course, it is secretly carried out. Jin Yiwei belongs to the factory guard, it is most convenient to contact Liu Jin. If it is through the official, it is to give the other party the evidence of the crime!" Kong Tai has learned a lot of Confucian culture, and some of them are pedantic ... …

Mallin intends to use Liu Jin's last glory this time to add help to obtain normal trade qualification. You should know that Liu Jin is now in full swing, almost controlling the dynasty. Want to get the qualification of toast, Liu Jin can't get around. Therefore, it is better to bribe him and ask him for help. As for the fall of Liu Jin in the future? Just say you are being asked for a bribe. Anyway, this matter did not pass through the civil service system, and it was not easy for others to investigate. As long as the little emperor Zhengde is coaxed, everything is not a problem ...

While waiting for bribing Liu Jin to get through the relationship, Marin can successfully set off to Daming Jingshibai Pier ......
