Chapter 502

Chapter 269 (1)
"What's going on here?! Lao Jiu! Tell me!" As he got older, Yinfeng became more tolerant towards his brothers, especially for a guy like Lao Jiu who is very well-behaved now, even if he feels unbalanced in his mind. Jiu lived too comfortably, and if he was looking for trouble, he would take him to the Qianqing palace for a lecture, and put it on the spectrum of being an elder brother like a father, which is also quite amiable.

But today's matter, he couldn't help but get angry.

Yunyu was also annoyed: "There were two fights, and the emperor didn't even ask, so he blamed my younger brother first. What can I do when I meet a troublemaker? My younger brother's slaves have been in this business for two years. It’s okay, it’s been fine, and now the foreigners are starting to use firearms, it’s obvious that they’re not good citizens! They’re causing trouble, how do I know the reason?”

He also wondered why the Dutchman was always obedient, so why did he suddenly go crazy?

Since Yunyu took over the business, she was really ruthless!He was seeking money in business because his official career was not satisfactory, and he took the next best thing. He was cheating all his strength, how could he not be more ruthless?The Qing Dynasty was not closed to the outside world all the time. Since the Kangxi Dynasty, several commercial ports have been opened for foreign trade, and Guangzhou is one of them.

Due to various convenient conditions, the scale of foreign trade in this place is quite considerable, which naturally attracts many domestic and foreign businessmen to trade here.When Donggong was still in Shujia's hands, she had already made a lot of money by taking advantage of the convenience of the officialdom. She still had various concerns and the conditions were not very permissible, and she did not turn this business into a national monopoly. At most, it controls most of the foreign goods market in the capital.

In Yunyu's hands, the situation changed again.Donggong is the second in command, he has concerns about doing things, and acting too hard will hurt himself.But Yunyu is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. He has the status of the emperor's younger brother, and he has suppressed his political ambitions. He just makes a little money, which is not a big deal at all.

He had accumulated all his strength, and couldn't use it in the court, so he poured it all on these small things.Although he took the wrong path of making money, Yunyu still had to take into account his own status, and with the principle of being a bannerman in captivity, he couldn't leave the capital by himself, so he had to send his servants to do it.

It's a well-known law that a dog's henchmen are worse than their villainous masters.Yunyu just asked for money ruthlessly, and the specific operation was done by the subordinates, who were good at the top and effective at the bottom, and the methods were even more ruthless than Yunyu.

The famous Guangzhou Thirteen Banks in later generations is just a relatively loose guild at present. Although it is a trade intermediary and has a little connection with the government, how can it resist these "lords" who work under the name of Jiu Beizi?You use the rules to restrain them?They can use the power of the government to exclude you!One by one ran on competitors, and within two or three years, it almost became a monopoly.These days, the existence of the identity of Bannerman is a super bug.

Yunyu is thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, and he only wants to be happy when he sees a profit. He is not some kind of blue sky master who judges the sun every day and breaks the sun at night. How can he know what the slaves have done?Even if one or two wind noises reached his ears, he didn't care much.The status of a businessman is really not high these days, no matter how rich you are, Jiu Beizi will not ignore you!

In this way, the master didn't take it seriously, but the slave was so bold that he finally got into trouble.The guilds in Guangzhou can't control Master Jiu anymore. Master Jiu raises the price if he wants to, bullying foreigners to the point of complaining.

In Guangzhou, the rules of domestic and foreign trade are like this. Inland merchants collect porcelain, raw silk, tea, silk and satin needed by foreigners, and sell them at a relatively fair price in Guangzhou, while foreigners sell some things that are more popular in the mainland. Come in, the price is also negotiable.Of course, shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is inevitable to intrigue with each other, but we still got along relatively happily at that time.

All these good days ended when Master Jiu's son-in-law arrived in Sui.

As soon as Jiu Beizi's family figured out the routine, they put aside the thirteen lines and directly contacted foreigners.Their background is strong enough, so they naturally have a competitive advantage, and the Thirteenth Bank really dare not control it.When Yunyu's power grows, he can't control it even if he wants to.

At this time, there were foreigners doing business in Guangzhou, although there were all kinds of people, but the East India Company was still a very powerful force here.This East India Company is not the British East India Company, which is notorious for its opium trade, but the Dutch East India Company, which is not much more famous than it.Frankly speaking, at this time, the Dutch East India Company is much stronger than the British East India Company in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The Dutch East India Company built a city in Luzon, which was later Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.The company raised shares in its home country, including the shares of the Dutch government, so it relatively calmly obtained the trade monopoly from the Cape of Good Hope in the east to the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of South America authorized by the Dutch national parliament at that time.

The Dutch East India Company was the first company that could form its own mercenaries, issue currency, and was also the first joint stock company, and was allowed to enter into formal treaties with other countries and exercise the power to colonize and rule the area.Colonial rule is not what you want to establish. History has proven countless times that these western explorers definitely did not come with peace and friendship. They came to plunder and enslave. Be your slave!

To sum up, this group of businessmen between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean can completely exercise various rights on behalf of the government, including war. They are not ordinary businessmen.

So, they are tyrannical!
These people established a colonial rule in Luzon. Due to the insufficient population of local residents, poor looks, not too hardworking and not too brave... and so on, the colonists tried their best to lure the Chinese to settle there. To farm and do business, in short, to provide tax sources.At the same time, different identities were deliberately given to the aborigines and overseas Chinese to facilitate checks and balances.

It can be seen that these people are really not easy to mess with.

But Master Jiu didn't know, and the people under Master Jiu didn't know even more. They only knew that they needed to get a sum of money quickly, and Master Jiu needed it urgently.

The salt industry has huge profits, and it is on the "own territory", which is far more worry-free than dumping imported products.Others dare not say, on the boundary of these thirteen provinces, who can not sell face to the brothers of the emperor?Of course Yunyu wanted to do some quick and labor-saving jobs, so she wanted to get involved in selling salt.But most of his capital was put on reselling. He had a house and land in his family and refused to sell it, so he wanted to raise the price, and made a fortune from this reselling as capital for selling salt.

It was also because he was careless. The other party recognized the price increase a few times ago.Unexpectedly, this time it exceeded the psychological bottom line of others, and others did not buy it.And because I heard that the government was involved in it, and that the government of this country loves to slap swollen faces to pretend to be fat, to save face and suffer crimes, and to treat its own citizens more cruelly than foreigners, so I decided to sue.

After tidying up the complaints, I found an agent and sued the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that Yunyu's business was not kind.Unfortunately, the two princes in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one is the elder brother of Lao Jiu and his mother, and the other has already been dragged into the pirate ship by him.Because the business travel dispute is not a big deal, the fifth child is in charge of Hong Yu and Hong Tong's marriage, and when the case comes to the second child's desk, he gently puts it down.

The Dutch originally wanted to salute first and then fight, but they didn't expect that no one paid attention to it! ——The Netherlands is a powerful country in Europe at this time. It is vigorously expanding overseas trade and occupying colonies.
The Dutch suffered a big loss in Taiwan back then, but it was decades ago.In this era, two or three generations have passed, how many people still remember that there is such a giant that cannot be underestimated in the east?Furthermore, the Dutch lost Taiwan, and there was a quarrel at the time, but it did not cause a big storm. Because they have a more worthwhile colony in Luzon, there are very few people who know the situation in China very well.

Well, you are not benevolent and we are not righteous.They also restrained a little, but also uphold the consistent tradition: before becoming XX, erect the archway.First, the merchants were brought to the local yamen to sue, but of course there was no result, and then the sailors clamored.If the troublemaker was an ordinary person, the yamen would have overwhelmed him and paid for it, but there was a nine-year-old son behind him.

After two stalemates, the people sent by Yunyu were even more arrogant than him, with their nostrils upturned: "The barbarians are rude! This group of people who don't accept the king's transformation actually blackmailed people! Knock them out!" It was they who raised the price all the time. The other party accepted it, so naturally he didn't see the other party in his eyes.

Well, you guys started it first!

There was a fight on both sides.

The Dutch were also careless. They didn't expect that the value of personal force in this place was not high, but the victory was due to the large number of people, so they detained their people.The governor of Guangdong didn't dare to hide anything about this incident. He interrogated the criminal overnight, asked the reason, wrote the note, and sent someone to hand it to the capital.

If it hadn't been for the use of force, the government would not have cared about the price competition between merchants.What Yinfeng was annoyed was that Yunzhen "made troubles". As for diplomacy, Western countries were not that important in the eyes of the court at that time.
