Great Tang Southern Emperor

"What I mean is that Li Zhen's establishment of the Shibo Department was not for such a small tax at all, but his purpose was actually for the huge profits after the sea route was opened."

"Everyone can think about it, Liu Rengui only went to the Luzon Islands and got such a big benefit. This shows that Luzon Island is not small, maybe not even smaller than a Dao in the Tang Dynasty, and the resources are extremely rich—— —If such a place is only allowed to be exploited by his side, it is estimated that it will not be able to be exploited even in 100 years. But how can Li Zhenyu focus his entire life on a small archipelago? The sea is so big, how can there be only A Luzon Island?"

"My son, what exactly do you want to say?" Unfortunately, what he said might be a bit too cryptic, and none of his subordinates could understand.

Chapter 665

Chapter 28 Get carried away

"..." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, the middle-aged man shook his head in disappointment. These people are loyal to him, but their abilities are really inferior. I can only hate that Li Zhen's attack is too vicious. These people will not be promoted as confidantes - how can such people help themselves to achieve their goals?

"What I want to say is that the sea is so big, and there are many treasures on it. With Li Zhen's courage, why does he only pay attention to a mere island?" The middle-aged man had no choice but to explain in detail again—even though these people It's unbearable to use, but at present, I don't have any useful manpower, so I can only rely on them.

"So, Li Zhen will definitely open up the sea route, and let all those who are brave enough to explore the sea and make money in business. It seems that Li Zhen is losing money, but don't forget, no matter how far these businessmen run, no matter how far they explore After all, they will return to the mainland—the usefulness of Shibosi is reflected at this time. No matter who they are or how large their fleet is, as long as they disembark from the port, they must You must accept the inspection and taxation of the Department of Shipping."

"Oh, I see." A businessman is a businessman. Although his aptitude is mediocre, he has an extremely keen sense of business. After the middle-aged man's explanation, Lan Xun finally understood Li Zhen's plan.

He couldn't help but gasped: "This Li Zhen is so courageous, he even used businessmen from all over the world to help him make money. As long as he guards the three-acre land at the wharf, once the maritime trade rises, all businessmen from all over the world will give him money." He pays taxes—what a formidable means, worthy of being the little God of Wealth, formidable, as long as he has this wharf in his hand, even if he wants [-]% of the tax, those merchants will probably have to pay."

"What?" Wu Li also understood, and suddenly said in shock: "How dare he? Isn't he afraid that all the merchants in the world will unite and fight against him?"

"What's the matter? Don't forget, he is the king of Yue, representing the imperial court." Lan Xun sneered and said, "It's a matter of course to do business and pay taxes, not to mention scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are ranked at the bottom. Don’t pay taxes? Don’t say it’s tax resistance, even if it’s tax evasion, the court can destroy us in minutes, do you believe it?”

"Eh..." Wu Li was ashamed, but he forgot about it.

"Lan Xun is right." The middle-aged man glanced at him approvingly, and said: "If I guessed correctly, then every port in Datang should establish a shipping department, and the entire coastal ports of Datang should be established. It is firmly in the hands of the imperial court, so that huge tax revenues can be harvested from the hands of maritime merchants.

Through the merchants' development of nautical trade, they can be lured to explore more islands. While the merchants are earning massive wealth, Datang can also make a lot of money through taxation. It is really a good plan. "

"Then son, should we follow this trend?" Lan Xun is a businessman, and a businessman is after profit. When he saw that Liu Rengui's fleet had made so much profit just by going out to sea, his eyeballs were already full. It became popular, now that I got the analysis of my young master, I think Li Zhen's opening of the air route is probably a matter of chance, and I can't wait immediately—after a big shattering, the organization was severely damaged, although the strength did not drop much, but most of them All the senior management had been killed by Li Zhen, including his predecessor, and because of this, he was able to ascend to the position smoothly.

After Li Zhen's destruction, the organization is now in dire straits and lacks everything, especially money. Now is the time when money is needed. Lan Xun has been desperately making money for the organization, but he still cannot make ends meet.Now that I see such a good money-making business, my mind naturally becomes alive—if everything goes well, among other things, if I walk back and forth from Lingnan to Luzon, the organization will have no shortage of money within a year ah.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Go, why go? Not only are we going, but we also want to go on the largest scale. Otherwise, what do you think the organization is preparing for so many ships?

No matter what Li Zhen's idea is, as long as he dares to open the air route and let go of the right to explore Luzon Island, the first batch to go will definitely earn the most profit.It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was not taken advantage of.What's more, take the route that Li Zhen worked so hard to make money, and then use the money to fight against him. When our goal is achieved, I want to see it. Li Zhen, who knows the truth, his last expression is how is it like. "

"Hahaha...that must be very interesting." Wu Li laughed loudly.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Everyone laughed loudly, as if they had already seen the scene where they had succeeded in their great career and trampled Li Zhen under their feet.

"If that day really happened, it would be really interesting, but now I see something even more interesting." Just as everyone was laughing, a chuckle made the middle-aged man's complexion change wildly.

Looking up, I saw that as the chuckle fell, one after another guns protruded from the surrounding crowd, and they were tightly pressed against a group of people.

"Young master... that's what other people call you, right?" As the guns were protruded, all the people around quickly evacuated, revealing the real mastermind behind the scenes—a thin middle-aged man, who was holding a jungle gun in his hand. The sword, while sharpening his nails, asked: "It's just that I don't like to address others with respect except Your Highness. I wonder if I can know your name?"

Being held by dozens of muskets, the middle-aged man didn't feel nervous at all: "I've given you my advice. When asking someone else's name, it's best to say your own name first—it's more polite."

"Snapped!"

"Why so much nonsense?" A young man with a gun was furious and slapped the middle-aged man on the face: "If you ask me, you can answer honestly, otherwise my gun is not a vegetarian. "

"You bastard." Wu Li, a warrior, was furious when he saw his young master being beaten, and wanted to rush forward to fight the young man with his life.

"Whoosh!"

There was a clear and crisp sound, and an inch-long crossbow arrow shot into Wu Li's thigh.But now in the crowd, of course, if you don't use a gun, you don't need a gun. Otherwise, what if the gunfire rang out and caused chaos?What if someone is trampled to death?

"what!"

There was severe pain in his legs, and Wu Li immediately collapsed, clutching his thighs and howling.

"It's really useless." It's just a little penetrating wound, and it has become like this. Even as an enemy, I look down on Wu Li a little bit. It seems that even if they can escape this disaster this time, this Wu Li will never be reused again.

Chapter 666 I Forgot to Name the Title

Chapter 29 forgot to name the title

"Can you tell me your name now?" The thin middle-aged man tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man: "Otherwise, as the kid said, our guns are not vegetarian."

"Okay, okay, I'll just say it." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "You probably haven't heard of my name, my name is Yang Hui."

"It is true that I have never heard of this name." The thin middle-aged man tilted his head and thought for a while, but in the end he still couldn't think of any deeds related to Yang Hui

On the contrary, it was the young man who did it just now, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Could it be that you are a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family?"

"Hongnong Yang?" The thin middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then his face eased: "It makes sense now."

The thin middle-aged man didn't think too much. Seeing Yang Hui's puzzled face and rolling his eyes, he understood what he was struggling with: "Are you wondering why we locked you so quickly?"

Yang Hui didn't deny it either, and nodded: "If it's possible. I really want to know that although I have fallen into your hands and I am almost certain to die, I still want to be a sensible ghost."

"Actually, it's not that troublesome. Didn't any of you leak a murderous intention just now? The murderous intention was caught by our people, and His Royal Highness Yue Wang didn't care, but those of us who are subordinates have to pay attention. After all, the last assassination was due to our mistake, which almost killed His Highness." Speaking of the last assassination, the thin middle-aged man expressed depression: "Of course we will not make the same mistake again this time."

Wu Li struggled and asked: "But there are so many people at the scene, how can you be sure that it's us?"

"Speaking of which, it's also luck." The thin middle-aged man laughed and said, "Your conversations are a bit too blatant, not only calling the king of Yue by his name in broad daylight, but also disrespectful to the court in your words-this is really too much. It's not normal. Just in time, in order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Yue, many spies were deployed in the crowd in advance... One of them happened to be standing next to you..."

"Damn..." Even with the calmness of a middle-aged man, he was speechless at this moment. It turned out that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, and he didn't expect it to be so unlucky.

"I still want to know your name." After being depressed, Yang Hui looked at the thin middle-aged man: "You must be not an ordinary person to bring so many people close to us without our knowledge. I have seen all the tigers, only the six wolves... Excuse me, which one of the six wolves are you under the command of His Highness the King of Yue?"

"Nonsense, look around His Royal Highness, who is an ordinary person?" The thin middle-aged man said coldly, "It is said that you are able to form such a big battle, and you are related to the Hongnong Yang family, so you have not found out my identity Is it? You have failed too much? You want to fight His Highness the King of Yue, but you have not even investigated who is around him. Do you think rebellion is just playing tricks?"

"Huh!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yang Hui's face, and Yang Hui kept silent. Of course, he tried to put people around Li Zhen, but unfortunately, Li Zhen's defense was too tight, and he didn't give others much to take advantage of. In addition, the thin middle-aged man stayed in the military camp all the year round and was not known to outsiders. After becoming famous, he has been in Nanyang all the time, and he only came back recently-not to mention Yang Hui, not even Li Shimin. Know what this person looks like.

As for the title of Six Wolves, it is the nickname given to the people around Li Zhen by outsiders. They are Shuanglong, Three Tigers and Six Wolves. Shuanglong refers to Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui, and Three Tigers refers to Fang Yiai, Du He and Xi Jun. Buy, the six wolves are naturally the six commanders of the Boys Army.

"Cut. Then I'll tell you, my name is Wang Tianqi, and I was nicknamed Timberwolf by others." The thin middle-aged man is naturally Wang Tianqi, and only his Ever Victory Camp can sneak up on the enemy without knowing it.

"It turns out that we won't be wronged by the famous Timberwolves." Middle-aged Yang Hui said in a low voice.

Wang Tianqi said: "Don't just talk about me, let's talk about you. I'm afraid your identity is not just a Hongnong Yang family?"

Some people have told him about the middle-aged people's conversation just now, and the identities of these people are obviously not that simple-although the Hongnong Yang family has a deep hatred for Li Zhen, they absolutely can't say anything about overthrowing the Tang Dynasty.

"I am indeed a member of the Hongnong Yang family." When mentioning the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Hui's eyes suddenly turned red, his voice hoarse, and he roared: "I do have another identity, that is the former Sui Dynasty Survivor. My father is Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. I was a posthumous child he gave birth to in Jiangdu. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. Later, some old officials secretly brought my mother Let's go... For so many years, I have always wanted to take revenge and take back our Yang family's country... It's a pity, when I started to discover the treasures of the Sui Dynasty, got the support of the Yang family, and just saved a little bit of foundation, The Yang family was wiped out by you again..."

"That's what they deserve." Wang Tianqi's face darkened, and he cursed endlessly. The Changsheng Battalion was responsible for the defense of Li Zhen's patrol that time, and in the end, Li Zhen's life was almost lost there. Several commanders couldn't even lift their heads up. Afterwards, a major rectification of the Changsheng Battalion was carried out, and several captains were wiped out.

"What did you say?" Yang Hui was furious immediately: "The dead are the most important. You just kill them, but you still humiliate them like this. Is this how your king of Yue educated you?"

"What does this have to do with His Highness the King of Yue?" Wang Tianqi said: "I said they deserved it, but I should praise them. If you want me to say, it is an eye-opener for idiots like them to survive until now."

"Damn."
