Daming pirates

After struggling like this for a while, the officials and servants in the surrounding government offices finally understood who was standing behind them. Who dared to confront General Yu again? As for those blind guys, they disappeared when they disappeared.

Even An Zhixian and Nan'an Zhixian did not dare to pursue the case, but everyone knew that these blind guys had probably been pulled to the sea long ago, and now they have become fish food!

After learning from the past, the officials and servants of Tong'an County Government and Nan'an County Government have learned a lesson. Since General Yu wants to buy your land, it is to give you face. It would be wrong for you not to sell it.

, now that someone is causing trouble, you still dare to come here and ask us to come forward to get into trouble with that evil god. You think you have a long life, but I don’t think you have a long life, so go ahead!

Therefore, these landowners and gentry were left with no recourse by these ruffians. In the end, they had no choice but to cut off their flesh and sell their land to Yu Xiaotian. Of course, after this incident, they would no longer be able to sell it at a good price.

Even if they wanted to sell it, Yu Xiaotian didn't want it! Without lowering the price to an extremely low level, they wouldn't be able to sell it even if they wanted to. No one would dare to take the offer, so they could only admit it with pinched noses.

During this period, some people also went to Quanzhou Prefecture to complain to Quanzhou Magistrate Shen Qiaochu. In desperation, Shen Qiaochu also sent people to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian, hoping that Yu Xiaotian would be more restrained, but the people sent returned to Quanzhou in disgrace.

, because General Yu was too busy and had no time to meet them.

As a result, Shen Qiaochu had no idea what to do about it. He was secretly angry and complained to Xiong Wencan or Cai Shanji. He tried to ask their two bosses to come forward to beat Yu Xiaotian, but Xiong Wencan didn't say a word about this, pretending that he didn't know anything about it.

, Cai Shanji instead reprimanded Quanzhou Magistrate Shen Qiaochu, which made Shen Qiaochu even more helpless.

Fortunately, Xiaotian is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. After this matter became a big deal, he secretly sent someone to give Shen Qiaochu a generous gift. For the sake of Xiaotian's generous gift, Shen Qiaochu also

I could only hold my nose and admit it.

As for the victims, of course they were not willing to give in. They tried their best to find ways to support their connections and let some so-called clean figures complain on their behalf. They wanted to impeach the generals for causing harm to the countryside, bullying the market, buying and selling by force, and colluding with local gangsters. But these

The sound played no role at all in the current situation.

Because Yu Xiaotian knew very well that the court in the capital was now in chaos, and no one was interested in paying attention to these small things happening in this corner of Fujian at this time.

And the most important reason is that the current Holy One is "sick"!

In August shortly after Yu Xiaotian's death, the wheel of history still maintained its huge inertia and pushed forward. It seemed that the wind fanned by Yu Xiaotian, a little butterfly, did not blow the current emperor Mingxi Zong Zhu You.

It has no impact on the fate of school comrades.

This great carpenter emperor, under the control of Wei Zhongxian all day long, was still addicted to pleasure, and was as unwilling to care about the affairs of the world as always.

Therefore, his fate naturally did not change. One day in August, the great carpenter emperor, just like in the history of old time and space, was accompanied by Comrade Wei Zhongxian and the nanny Hakka who had an affair with Comrade Wei Zhongxian.

Together, we went to Xiyuan for a boat ride. We drank on the big boat in the shallow water north of the bridge. We also went to the deep water with Wang Tiqiang, Wei Zhongxian and two close eunuchs to go boating in the deep water. However, a strong wind overturned the boat and accidentally fell into the water.

, almost drowned.

Of course, under the protection of the eunuchs, there was absolutely no chance that His Majesty the Emperor would be drowned on the spot. He finally drank a lot of water from the lake and was rescued ashore by the eunuchs risking his own life. However, this accident,

His Majesty the Emperor was still deeply frightened. In addition, he had been immersed in cold water for a long time, and his body was usually drained by alcohol and sex. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor, who was originally healthy and young, finally became seriously ill and fell completely.

He fell ill and fell on the dragon couch.

Although Yu Xiaotian's information in the capital is not very well-informed yet, since last year, he has used Maoshengyuan to start his layout in the north, and ordered Li Yi to establish Maoshengyuan branches in batches in some important towns in the north.

Even if conditions did not permit it, some detailed operations were dispatched first, and they were stationed in some important towns in the north to look for collaborators or collect important local information.

In the past, Yu Xiaotian wanted to do these things, but he was obviously unable to do so, because laying out such a large intelligence and business network required a huge amount of funds. In the past, Yu Xiaotian concentrated on developing his own strength, such as this kind of thing

It can only be postponed temporarily, but since last year, Sea Wolf's income has been enough to support him to do this kind of thing, so starting from last year, he took advantage of Li Yi's leisure period to start selecting people to send to the north.

.

These people all used their identity as business travelers as a cover, and they did not bring many people with them. They traveled in simple vehicles, took some goods, and set off by land or sea to important towns in the north to start setting up positions.

If you have the conditions, you can open a shop first. If you don't have the conditions, you can live there first, find ways to establish relationships, find a backend, or find partners to sell Seawolf products in a cooperative way.

As for the glass products and soaps that are currently Sea Wolf's flagship products, as the foundations of Tamsui City and Keelung Fort are firmly established, the scale of the workshop can be said to be expanding, and the output can already be initially supplied in large quantities for sale in the north, and

Yu Xiaotian always controls the shipment volume and adopts the method of starvation sales to always keep these two flagship products at the high-end consumption level to ensure greater profits.

With Seawolf's current sales strategy and sales network, the profits that these flagship products can generate are definitely dozens or even hundreds of times the cost. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge profit, and in exchange it is a huge amount.

With the profits, the Sea Wolf can continue to strengthen its army.

Industry peers like Sea Wolf that have their own production capacity are really rare in this era. Although some sea owners are pirates, they also control the source of production and have their own products for sale, but most of them are just a few.

Downstream products, such as sugar, porcelain, raw silk, etc., such a high-end and profitable business, is definitely only available to Yu Xiaotian, and there is no other one.

Of course, setting up a base in the capital is the top priority in this matter. Not only the capital, but also Nanjing is the focus of the layout. It can be said that Xiaotian invested heavily in these two places for layout.

, and the selected personnel are also the most elite personnel that Sea Wolf can currently select.

Therefore, with the help of money and capable personnel, the Maoshengyuan branch in the capital opened for business more than half a year ago, and as soon as it opened, it was flooded with customers and the business was quite booming.

In fact, it’s no wonder. The closer a place is to the capital, the higher the demand for high-end consumption, and the more wealthy people there are. The amount of money flowing to the capital from all over the country every year is huge, coupled with the competition between the powerful and the rich.

Psychologically, they want what others have, even if they are reluctant to spend money, but the power in their hands is automatically given to them.

The right does not expire and become invalid. This has always been an unbreakable truth since ancient times. The more officials there are, the stronger the market demand for this kind of power will be.

What's more, after years of tempering, Seawolf's current glass products have made rapid progress in production technology. The glass products produced are now not only rich in variety, but also in rich colors. They can be described as colorful and beautiful. The number of such products is also

There are very few, so each piece is valuable.

When the first batch of goods was put on the market at Maoshengyuan Branch in the capital, it immediately caused a huge sensation. It is said that even Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty, was alarmed and sent people to Maoshengyuan Branch to have a look.

A batch of products launched on the market were immediately sold out.

Moreover, the shopkeeper who was in charge of the capital was also a good person. He actually sent Wei Zhongxian a set of exquisite glass wine sets and tea sets through the channels, which Wei Zhongxian regarded as a rare treasure and loved it very much.

So within a short period of time, Maoshengyuan Semicolon in the capital had a firm foothold with the mountains behind it. Some people who wanted to covet them at first found out that Maoshengyuan Semicolon actually had such a backing, so they started again

No one dared to touch them anymore.

So now the news of the capital can be easily collected through this Maoshengyuan semicolon. Once something big happens in the capital, they will be able to get the news very quickly. They will regularly compile it into a booklet every month and pass the news through

Sea Wolf's people who regularly go north to deliver goods are sent back to Yu Xiaotian by sea.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian was actually able to receive the developments in the capital earlier than the officials in Fujian, and could make some targeted responses as soon as possible.

As for the news that His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill in August, Yu Xiaotian could be said to be the first to receive it from Fujian, so Yu Xiaotian specially sent the news to Xiong Wencan, and also added some of his judgment.

, implicitly pointed out that something big might happen in the capital, and Xiong Wencan was asked to prepare in advance.

When Xiong Wencan received the news from Yu Xiaotian, he didn't believe it at first, but thinking that Yu Xiaotian might have his own means to find out the news from the capital, he didn't dare not believe it. After thinking about it for a while,

, he sent his close relatives and family members to rush to the capital immediately, and began to inquire about the news while making preparations to deal with possible situations at any time.

More than ten days later, news came from the capital, confirming that the information Yu Xiaotian gave him was true. Xiong Wencan had to look at Xiaotian with new eyes.

Although he didn't know what method Yu Xiaotian used to spread the news of the capital back to Fujian so quickly, but considering that Sea Wolf relied on the sea for a living, and there were often ships traveling between the north and the south, he must have used this method.

means to convey the message.
