Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 484 Great Ming Master Zheng Zhilong (Second Update)
Three hundred tank boats seem to be a lot.

But as the fleet entered the Qingxian River Basin and merged into the Grand Canal, it seemed that there were not many at all.

On the Grand Canal, there are two-way traffic from south to north, one after another.

So spectacular.

It doesn't look like the end of the dynasty at all.

Cao's army was nearly 13, and there were [-] official ships. With the destruction of officials, there were countless private ships flying the flag of Cao Chuan.

They were then asked to make way.

He Jinzhao looked at the six big ships, all decorated with carved dragons and painted buildings, so gorgeous.

Especially the horse boats are bigger and more material than their horse boats.

"What is this for?"

Hearing He Jinchao's question, Ma Zhongxi sighed: "Master, these are the eunuchs in the palace who buy silk and make dragon robes for the emperor.
These eunuchs extorted money, it was impossible to buy it, and it was impossible to pay for the transportation. Even the raw silk had been put in the warehouse of the imperial court, and they would ask for local supplies.

In addition, the transportation of raw silk is relatively light, and most of them carry private goods in the cabin or cargo hold, or rent them out.

As for us to make way, it is necessary. The emperor's clothes enjoy more power than silk fabrics, and they must not be put together with ordinary goods. "

He Jinzhao couldn't help laughing, Chongzhen has always claimed to be frugal.

Didn't he know that those eunuchs spent money crazily on his behalf, filling their pockets?

The rules are all set for the poor and poor people, and a large number of privileged people are all trampling on the rules.

It really doesn't make sense for Daming not to perish.

Ma Chongxi didn't know what the young master in front of him was laughing at?
Even though he is the head of the Baoding Mansion, he is so young that he can become the head of the army. It is impossible that he doesn't know anything about the Grand Canal!

Anyone who runs a boat does not want these dog eunuchs to sink and die immediately.

Ma Zhongxi thought for a while, the thinking of the big man is different from that of poor ghosts like them begging for food on the river.

After the eunuchs' boats had passed by, He Jinzhao looked at the boats heading south. A boat had forty or fifty trackers pulling the boat up the river.

At this time, He Jinzhao and the others were traveling as fast as the boats were going, and those towmen were pulling them slowly.

"Are those people also yours?"

Hearing He Jinzhao's inquiry, Ma Chongxi shook his head quickly and said:
"Most of these trackers are recruited by local officials, regardless of whether they are farming or not.

In the past, each ship had ten postmen at the top to steer the boat, and all postmen at the bottom to pull the boat.

But the post stations were abolished by the court, and they were replaced by everyone. "

He Jinzhao couldn't help laughing, Chongzhen's stupid move really released a large number of high-tech talents to Daming.

Then, in order to maintain the operation of the canal, the local officials or nobles directly recruited all the farmers farming along the coast to pull the boats for them.

From the previous fixed-point exploitation, it has become comprehensive exploitation.

Chongzhen thought he could save a lot of silver, but in fact the money saved was not at all, and the destructive power was even much higher than the few 10 taels of silver he had left.

All ships were single-masted, and the court ordered that ships with two-masted or larger were rebellious, and they were all arrested and hacked to death.

The imperial court didn't care about the sea-going ships of the big gentry in the south.

He Jinzhao believed that Chongzhen didn't even know about the pirate ships smuggled in the South, right?
Zheng Chenggong is still called Zheng Sen now, and his father, Zheng Zhilong, has already established a certain foundation in southern Fujian. As long as the Dutch ship shows up in the China Sea, he will be killed by the Zheng family.

The officials of Ming Dynasty even suggested to unite with the East India Company to kill the Zheng Zhilong pirates who had [-] ships.

But the East India Company did not agree, Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to defeat the deputy commander of the Ming army, and killed the officials who wanted to unite with the East India Company.

In southern Fujian, his prestige is higher than that of the Ming government, and he often helps the poor and gives rice.

Immediately, Xiong Wencan came, and he tried to appease Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong immediately turned himself into a white man, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, with the task of cutting off the barbarians and suppressing the bandits.

When there was a severe drought in southern Fujian, Zheng Zhilong organized tens of thousands of people to move to Taiwan and organized immigration.

One person gave three taels of silver to settle down, and the three gave a cow to help Xiong Wencan do things.

I have to say that shipping is indeed making money. A disaster victim will give three taels of silver, no matter how old or young he is, he is more generous than He Jinzhao.

In Zheng Zhilong's eyes, what is the wealth of a vassal king?
Just run around the boat, real money is no longer called real money.

Especially after Japan locked down the country, only Daming and the Netherlands were allowed to trade. Zheng Zhilong's main opponent was the Dutch.

Zheng Zhilong now has a navy of more than 3 and a thousand ships. He returned to his hometown last year and started building a luxurious mansion in Anhai Town, Jinjiang.

Moreover, the business is still developing and growing, and it has not yet become a powerful power to dominate this ocean world!
The court's boats are not allowed to go into the sea, they are all set up for those who obey the rules, as long as you become bigger and stronger, Da Ming will recognize it with a pinch of his nose.

It's like the emperor guarding the gate of the country, no compensation if you don't get along with relatives, but we can "pay tribute"!

Lin Danhan attacked Datong Mansion. Chongzhen was tough first and then soft. He recognized it with his nose, gave them money to settle the matter, and allowed Lin Danhan to continue trading at the mutual market.

After the Mongolian right-wing people got the money, they gave it to the war horse anyway, so that Daming would not suffer so much!
Lin Dan wanted the money and refused to give it to the horse, and Chongzhen dare not fart even now.

"Zheng Zhilong, have you heard of it?"

Ma Chongxi immediately nodded and said: "Mr. Zheng's name, no one who runs a boat has heard of it. I heard that he is generous and treats us poor people very well.

There are quite a few brothers who want to join him, but it is a pity that we are traveling on inland rivers, and others are traveling on sea boats, so we can't get on board. "

Ma Chongxi didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, who didn't want to survive?
There is no one else here, a master of Baoding Mansion would not take his own life in exchange for some credit.

Who doesn't envy those who run sea boats!
Grain was transported by sea from Bohai Bay to Liaodong, and a group of Caojun brothers in Dagukou ate a lot.

It's a pity that such good things always happen to others.

He Jinzhao looked at the boats on the water, and now he wanted to contact Zheng Zhilong.

He did a good job as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and he was finally cleared up, and he didn't want to be the leader of the pirates.

It is estimated that no bird will be a bird of her own, and she just wants to be a "wife". It doesn't matter which court, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

He Jinzhao shook his head, let's look in front of his eyes first.

As soon as it gave way, the entire fleet stopped.

Gao Yigong got on the boat and ran from the back boat to He Jinzhao's boat:
"Master, some brothers are seasick, should we let them go ashore and ride horses?"

He Jinzhao looked at this place and it was not a place where he could dock, and then he said:

"Tell the brothers to bear with it, we will soon be able to go straight to Tianjin, and then we will all get off the boat and take it easy."

Gao Yigong nodded, didn't procrastinate, turned back and told his brothers to endure.

"Master, I guess when it gets dark, we will be able to go to Zhigu."
