Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When the spring came to bloom in the capital, the imperial court received a memorial jointly signed by Marquis Jinghai and Hu Xiao, saying that Dayuan Island had already wiped out the barbarians and Japanese pirates, and the surrounding islands had also been wiped out of pirates.

Regarding the treatment of pirates, the big and small leaders were beheaded immediately, and the rest were sent to the inland and northern mines to serve hard labor.The leader of the Japanese pirates was beheaded, and the rest of the Yi people were gathered together, and they were still half full every day, leaving behind the coolies who worked on Dayuan Island to build the city and build the port.

On Dayuan Island, some Fusang merchants also lived.These merchants mainly buy raw silk from Dajing, and then sell it back to Fusang.At the same time, they also bought the elk produced on Dayuan Island, and sold the deerskin to the western ships passing by Dayuan Island for supplies.Of course, they also often inquire about some great news for pirates and Japanese pirates.

According to Hu Xiao, he wanted to charge these people with the crime of Tongwo and behead them all.It was only because he thought about the words conveyed by the sage through Jia Amnesty before leaving Beijing that he suppressed his temper and spared the lives of these people.Drive them all onto the boat, and let them report to the Tokugawa shogunate with the distress letter full of finger prints of the captured Japanese pirates.Ask the shogunate to send someone to the capital to apologize and compensate.

During this period, both Dayuan and Luzon intercepted a number of ships from Spain and other countries detoured from North America, seeking supplies, and loaded with gold.For the gold that was plundered in this way, Hu Xiao signaled to the Marquis of Jinghai that he found out that every ship was seized, and all the crew members were dispatched to do coolies.They also sent cronies to inform Li Zhun and Hu Hong of this practice, asking them to follow suit.

Jinghaihou admired Hu Xiao's actions so much.Hu Xiao came down with a will. He said how to do these things, and Jinghaihou followed suit and joined hands.

Jinghaihou watched as Hu Xiao seized several ships of copper ingots transported from Fusang, gave the corresponding gold to the merchants who transported the copper ingots, and allowed the barbarians to write letters to these merchants to take away.After Hu Xiao sent them away from Dayuan, Jinghaihou didn't understand why Hu Xiao did this, so he went to ask him.

"Master Hu, why don't you detain these barbarians and give them back the gold?"

Seeing that Jinghaihou was sincerely asking for advice, Hu Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and told him: "The imperial court will not interfere with the legal activities of merchants. But those damn Fusang people always shirk the lack of copper ingots, and the copper that the household department can buy The ingots are limited, not enough to make cannons. He sold them to the barbarians. It’s not like Dajing doesn’t give money.”

"After that..."

Jinghaihou and Fusang have business dealings, and Hu Xiao knew it, but he didn't know it.But seeing that Jinghaihou has always put the court first in his actions in the past few months, and for the sake of being quite polite to himself, he still tells Jinghaihou a little bit about what he asked from Jia She.

"As I said above, Fusang's copper ingots have to be bought by Dajing, and we can sell them to others if there is surplus. Otherwise, no one can take away a boatload of copper ingots. Jinghaihou, you also know that if our artillery is not powerful enough , If there is a fight at sea here, we are going to die. Maybe one day, those barbarians will fight over with strong ships and guns just like they did with the aborigines in Luzon, and occupy the whole scene. There are also those Japanese pirates who were indulged by the shogunate. After we have cleaned up the periphery, it is time to go north and settle accounts with the shogunate."

Jinghaihou nodded, it seems that the business between himself and Fusang has to be stopped first, maybe the imperial court will fight with Fusang's shogunate.

Not long after Hu Xiao and Jinghaihou came back with good news, Nanyang also came back with good news, and all the large and small islands around Luzon were cleared.Li Zhun submitted an application for the imperial court to send garrisons, using Luzon as the base of the Nanyang Navy, and emigrating to Luzon to ensure the supply of the Nanyang base.

Li Zhun's book sparked a discussion in the imperial court about where and how many people immigrated to, and what kind of preferential tax policy the imperial court would give.The sage, the cabinet, and the household department repeatedly studied and discussed, and solicited the opinions of all civil and military officials at the Dachaohui, and decided to immigrate from Fujian.The main reason is that Fujian has always had the custom of going to Nanyang to beg for life, and Fujian is a place with many mountains and little farmland, where life is hard and the people are easy to accept immigrants.

Immigration to Dayuan Island and Luzon was arranged, and Fujian, which was empty, needed to move some people from neighboring provinces there.At this time, the imperial court received a note from the Guangzhou government, saying that the East India Company sent people to beg for the captured crew members in Luzon Island.

The sage solicited the opinions of hundreds of officials on this matter at the Xiaochao meeting.

The nobles who were born in Wu were blown up in an instant, asking for prisoners?The empty-mouthed ones come to ask for the captives back, but where does the money that the imperial court pays for the dead soldiers come from?

In the past, Qingliu civil servants who loved to talk about sages and sages and write some moral articles, when the generals were impassioned, they liked to argue with the generals the most. Shi Hezhi was only willing to withdraw his troops, but today they all chose to keep silent.

——If these barbarians who came to smash their own rice bowls go back lightly, not only will it be difficult to eat the rice in Luzon in the future, but the saint seems to be an emperor who is merciless to the barbarians .

It is impossible for some barbarians to put the label of eating inside and outside on the saint.This has nothing to do with the ability to calculate accounts, and the courtiers who have reached the level of participating in the Xiaochaohui understand the importance of trade-offs in their hearts.

The sage smiled, watching the nobles who participated in the small pilgrimage quarreled for a quarter of an hour, and heard the nobles and generals shouting that it is easy to ask for someone, and each one needs a thousand taels of silver to redeem.Some people are also shouting that people of different ranks cannot redeem the same amount of gold and silver.After the sage and other generals basically vented their thoughts, they handed over the matter to Honglu Temple.

As for how to do it, I believe that the minister of Honglu Temple will not make a mistake after seeing the sage conniving at so many generals and clamoring at the court meeting.

After leaving the imperial court, the Honglu Temple minister slowly walked back to the public office full of worries and embarrassment.He understood what the sage meant, that he wanted the East India Company to redeem people with silver. As for the appropriate amount of silver, it was not easy to set the standard arbitrarily.He called Jia Jing and told him to ask Jia She for an idea on how to set the price for the redemption.

Jia Jing knew that the Rongguo Mansion was busy marrying a daughter these days, but for Jia Min's marriage, it was enough for Jia Amnesty to go out with his sister on his back at the end.Unexpectedly, Jia Jing went to Jia She's East Courtyard, but met Jia She and Mrs. Zhang, and taught Jia Min in Jia She's study.

Seeing Jia Jing coming, Jia Amnesty hurriedly asked their sisters-in-law to speak behind after they saluted Jia Jing.

"Sister Min is getting married soon, why are you the sister-in-law teaching her?" Jia Jing was curious.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his hands, "Brother Jing, to be honest, my father told me about this matter."

Jia Jing's inquiring gaze indicated that he was waiting for Jia Amnesty's further explanation.

"Brother Jing," Jia Amnesty was a little embarrassed, but he was much younger than Jia Jing, and Jia Jing had taken good care of him for more than 20 years.He hesitated for a moment and said, "Father chose Ruhai as his husband-in-law for my younger sister. Although he was born in the Marquis Mansion, but in his generation, he has no title. My younger sister was a little bit uneasy after being taught by her mother, so my father took matters into his own hands. Entrust it to me and your siblings."

Jia Jing nodded. Uncle was afraid that his sister would marry her and put on airs of the Duke's mansion, which would displease her mother-in-law and husband-in-law.

"Uncle thinks carefully about my sister. Ru Hai is Tanhua, and now he belongs to a serious literati background. When he is most proud, he can't allow others to look down on him."

Jia Jing pushed himself and others, his heart was touched, and he told Jia She, "Enhou, you tell my sister to relax, it will only be beneficial."

The two brothers were talking, and the servant brought tea in.Jia Amnesty took the freshly brewed tea from the servant and brought it to Jia Jing.

Jia She nodded again and again, "Brother Jing is right. Are you doing well in Honglu Temple?"

Jia Jing nodded, Honglu Temple is basically fine on weekdays.During the New Year's Eve, when false tribes and vassal countries came over, there were rules to follow on how to receive those people.

"Brother Jing, are you here to redeem someone?" Seeing that Jia Jing didn't say anything, Jia Amnesty simply lifted the cover and asked Jia Jing straight to the point.

Jia Jing couldn't help but blush, the older Jia Amnesty became, the less pleasing he was, and he still danced with guns and sticks more and read less.

"That's the matter. Master Lu is not sure about the standard of ransom, let me ask you to get an idea."

Jia Amnesty picked up the teacup and drank tea, remembering what the sage told him to Wenyuan Pavilion after the small court meeting, it turned out that he was preparing for Honglu Temple to ask for advice.

He pondered for a while, then said cautiously: "Before Hu Xiao left Beijing, the sage once said, 'If people from any country come to besiege Luzon, they have to go to that country to confess their crimes and make amends'. So this redeemer, still Looking at my younger brother, I am afraid that the money alone will not be enough."

Jia Jing was taken aback for a moment, but he was admitted as a Jinshi, so he was not a stupid and incurable person.In the past few years, Jia Daishan called him and Jia Zheng together when he had time, and broke apart and crushed the government affairs, market rumors, and even the trivial matters between housekeepers and servants, and analyzed them for them.

"Enhou, you said you want the country of the barbarians to come forward to make amends? Redemption?"

Jia Amnesty nodded.

"Of course. What the saint wants is surrender. You just ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. The heartache of not giving them what they want once makes them have a long memory. Whenever they covet the great scene, they will think of this payment. No matter how much the price is, it is not considered to achieve the goal of the saint."

Jia Jingruo realized something.

"Come on, Brother Jing, I'll take you to see my new bloody horse."

Jia Amnesty took Jia Jing to the stable in the south courtyard. Jia Amnesty's big black horse was too lonely and had to be housed alone, otherwise it would kick the other horses.Now, next to the big black horse, there is another separate stable, where the bloody horse is placed.

There is no man who doesn't like BMW horses.

Jia Jing watched as Jia Amnesty took out pine nut candy from his purse, and fed it to the big black horse first, and then to the sweaty BMW.He liked it very much in his heart, and asked excitedly: "Where did you buy this horse? It must cost a thousand taels of silver?"

"Sweat and blood BMWs are priceless, and you can't find them. This one was given to me by Hu Xiao before he left Beijing." Jia She gently stroked the BMW's neck, and stroked the horse very comfortably. It was a huge horse. He kept bowing his head into Jia She's arms.

"Enhou, you?" Jia Jing really didn't expect to hear such an answer.

"Brother Jing, you and I are brothers, what kind of friendship does Lu Wang have with me?"

"Okay. What should he give you?" Jia Jing felt that he asked very thoughtfully.

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes in his heart, this head can think of things like this, it really should be brothers with the second child.

"I don't need to send anything. I don't want to have friendship or contacts with civil servants. If he is not stupid, he knows that the nobles among the captives are more expensive than hard-earned horses. You let him do his job well, and don't disappoint the saint. "
