Chapter 290

Nian Gengyao didn't expect that these timid guys would do such a thing. It's not timid, it's daring and obscene!
Nian Gengyao has arrogance and ability, and he is not blindly reckless when he wants to make a career.He still has a lot of things in his hands now, and he will be on the right track. The first Eight Banners Meng Xuecai in Guangzhou is listed, and there are still many follow-up tasks waiting for him to do.

He offended a lot of local gentry with his stalls and errands, and then, the implementation of one errand and one pay, let him fill up the hatred value.Now that he is the governor, and the overall political environment tends to support reform, the gentry dare not make any major moves, nor dare to express their dissatisfaction publicly, but there are still many undercurrents underneath.Even though Nian Gengyao is conceited, he still needs to take it easy.He has to keep an eye on these people and can't tell them to come back.

The Eight Banners Mentorship School is running smoothly, the local students are still sufficient, and the school building will be renovated soon, but the style of writing in Guangdong and Guangxi is not as good as that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there is no need to worry about the arrangement of the remaining staff.However, Nian Gengyao hoped that this elementary school would be better run, so that a few more people could pass the selection for admission to government schools in the future, which is also a political achievement.Education is the responsibility of Xuezheng, and the Eight Banners are involved, so the situation is different.

These two things are not simple things. The old man still has his own private affairs to be busy, paving the way for his official career, keeping in touch with all parties in the capital at all times, and earning some gray income...

Nian Gengyao's gray income includes official filial piety and some less legitimate business income, one of which is the issue of trade with the Netherlands that was dragged down by Orondai.Businessmen value profits, but they are also flexible in mind. Now that the Dutch have withdrawn from Taiwan and retained Southeast Asia, they are not very familiar with the situation in China. This does not hinder the cunning of businessmen.Even if you don't know the exact situation of this ancient country, you can make the most direct response.

The country banned trade with them, but a place so far from the heart of politics could hardly ignore the ban if local officials did not strictly enforce it.The merchants keenly discovered this opportunity, and fought fiercely with Orondai and Nian Gengyao.

Orondai and Nian Gengyao would not lower their stances to have direct contact with these people, and at most managed to spare a little time in a year to meet with representatives of the Dutch merchants.After meeting for a while, I was a little surprised to find that the people who came to contact me were not the red-haired ones I imagined, but the most effective ones were actually Chinese!
When the East India Company was operating Batavia (now Jakarta), it suffered from a shortage of labor force. The local aborigines were neither hardworking nor brave, so they tried every means to recruit Chinese workers.Among them are preferential policies on the surface, as well as insidious means behind the scenes, in order to attract as many hardworking and docile Chinese people as possible to work for them.

Among them, of course, there are also good ones, not only as local contractors, but also many of them undertake the shipping trade business between Batavia and Guangzhou.Cutting off the trade with the Netherlands is a dead letter, and it can play a very limited role in front of these foreign employees.

Just as Nian Gengyao hinted, the country is not allowed to trade with the Dutch, but who can know who is from which country?And these black-haired, black-eyed, dark-skinned compatriots are spoiling the situation in the middle!They just said that the goods were trafficked overseas by themselves, and you can't check it, can you?In an age of neither intergovernmental cooperation nor information networking, enforcing it is a big problem.

Nian Gengyao still remembers the first time he met an overseas Chinese, Erlun Daiquan was the middleman.At that time, Erlundai and Nian Gengyao didn't think about this question. Seeing some Chinese businessmen saluting cautiously, a trace of contempt flashed in their eyes. They asked a few questions about their ancestral home and what business they did, which made the Chinese businessmen blush.In this era, throwing away your hometown and other careers is ultimately not doing your job properly and is despised by others.

He stammered the answer, but most of them were from Guangdong and Fujian: "When I was young, I encountered bad times and couldn't support a large family by farming, so I came out to beg for a bite of food. Please be merciful. "

No matter how difficult you are, what you are doing now is disgraceful!The two elders didn't talk about it, but they despised it in their hearts.Erlundai looked at Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao nodded, Erlundai said: "Last time you caused a catastrophe, the emperor was furious and banned trade as a punishment." He smiled contemptuously, "The country does not lack you. This idea is tax money. But I think you are pitiful, we have been dealing with each other for a year or two, and knowing that you have not been rude all the time, this is why I said to Mr. Nian that you are doing crime and meritorious service. "

The Chinese businessman who had just gotten up knelt down again: "You guys, thank you, Mr. E, and thank you, Mr. Nian, for your mercy," and Xu Xu said, "It was the two of you who gave the little ones a bite to eat, otherwise this one is not allowed to trade, the little one We are about to starve to death, the younger ones and the whole family are grateful for the two adults, and have set up longevity tablets for the two at home..."

Nian Gengyao was a little annoyed by these unruly guys!Pretending to be silly!He couldn't believe that a person who has done such a big business (as evidenced by the bonus of a senior) is really so stupid.If you have a small mind and can be seen through, that's it.

He waved his hand: "God has the virtue of loving life, and it can't block your way of life. The governor will give you another chance. If you don't make mistakes in the future, you will have your own future. Don't make any noise right now!"

The Chinese merchants are Weiwei, and they have also sent a lot of filial piety.

Who would have thought that such an obedient guy would actually abduct the people under his command?

He didn't discover the matter by himself, he was busy with a lot of business, and he was not in the mood to care about these things.It was discovered by Orondai's confidants. Compared with Nian Gengyao, Orondai's affairs are much less. The Eight Banners garrison in Guangdong and Guangxi are not very responsible, and general activities such as suppressing bandits are not under their control.The New Deal has nothing to do with them. It is just a routine exercise. The busiest thing is to count school-age children and send them to elementary schools.

In addition to dealing with errands, eating, drinking and having fun, Orondai also had time to ask about business issues.Sending a few confidantes who are too idle to watch the smuggling ship is a matter of at least face-saving, and the matter cannot be made a big deal. If you talk to Yunyu, the Dutch will mess around outside Guangzhou, and you will be in big trouble. .

Erlundai's confidant was really in a hurry. Every time someone came from Nanyang, the Nanyang Chinese merchants served him comfortably, and he was well-behaved, and he had no excuses at all.Guangdong is a coastal province at any rate, and the government and the army also have several patrol boats. Orondai asked his confidantes to divide into two groups, one group to watch on the land, and the other group to stay at sea, to guard against pirates, so as not to disturb the family. Business.

The coast of Guangdong is not peaceful, and the combat effectiveness of the navy is not enough. Suppression of pirates often turns into appeasement in the end.This offshore area can still be patrolled, and it can also prevent people from discovering that their adults are smuggling.

This patrol accidentally discovered a strange ship, in the terminology of later generations, it is a "smuggling" ship.Fighting pirates is not very good. It is still possible to catch such a ship. Firstly, there are many people on this ship, so it cannot run fast. Second, because it is close to the coast of China, foreigners are not too public at the moment. It is just a slightly modified merchant ship instead of Warships and the armed forces on board are not good either.

After a little resistance, the stowaway was captured.When the cabin was opened, many people on board were still tied up, so it was a lot of fun.

Those who serve in the army these days have a very low average educational level. They are already thankful that they can write a report, so don't pay attention to the wording.They are more familiar with the safety of abducting women and children, so they directly wrote "abduction" and nodded their heads, which actually required two hundred labors.

Not bad not bad, this is a meritorious service.

Elundai found Nian Gengyao with the report, and Governor Nian was furious!

The queen and the crown prince far away in the capital were worrying about the population, and when they were thinking of another treasure hunt to accommodate the surplus population, Nian Gengyao wished that all the people under his command would be piled up in his jurisdiction.The population is also one of the performance evaluation indicators, and the abductees are all strong laborers. Isn't this demolishing him?

Moreover, this kind of thing happened under his nose, Nian Gengyao deeply felt that his IQ was despised.What made him even more annoyed was that the Nanyang Chinese merchants replied like this: "" accompanied by repeated gestures of waving hands and expressions of panic.

Nian Gengyao didn't show it on his face, but he was already extremely angry in his heart!

If he just allowed his people to go away like this, even if they chased him, he would feel slapped in the face.Anyone who challenged his authority, no matter whether he succeeds or not, will slap him in the face!He must beat that guy into a pig's head before he can get back on the field. MD!The mastermind behind the scenes must be found out, tied up and chopped down!The young governor's heart was on fire after his self-esteem was hit.

Erlundai sneered and said, "Hundreds of sea bandits can't be suppressed, let alone them?" Erlundai still knows a lot about military affairs, especially in Guangdong. He is a military officer and has done his homework. He pointed out his own disadvantages one by one, "the ship is not good enough, the charts are not detailed enough, and the sailors are short of manpower..."

The maritime industry in ancient China reached its peak in the early Ming Dynasty, and then gradually declined. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was no longer as good as at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, it was even worse than the end of the Ming Dynasty.In the early years of Kangxi's recovery of Taiwan, because of the use of naval forces, he also practiced for a while. Since then, the overall situation has become more and more difficult.

In the end, he came to a conclusion: "You are out of ideas!" He is not the one who is willing to suffer, but if you want to hit someone, you have to find out where they are first, right?Across the sea!The old nest of the Dutch is farther than Taiwan, you really think too much!

Nian Gengyao was irritated, he thought for a long time, and smiled grimly: "Then prepare first."

He is not an idiot, there must be a reason for raising troops without reason.Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the Qingyi test!The country has banned trade with the Netherlands, but he is smuggling, which opens the door for the abduction of strong men.

At the very least, he had to figure out the reality of those red hairs, and find an excuse for his previous behavior.For example, the purpose of contacting Hongmao is to find out why they offended Tianwei before, so as to prevent the Celestial Dynasty from misunderstood them and making the barbarians think that the Celestial Dynasty is confused or something.Hongmao is here to do business, so we "falsified and traded, spying on the truth".

There was a case of abducting good people to go to sea here. I am also trying to solve the case, right?
On the one hand, keeping calm, he arranged for people to go to Nanyang to find out the truth.What the old man sent was his own domestic slave, the kind who had to be loyal even if he was not loyal.He also interrogated the young man who was "abducted" and found that it was not abduction but kidnapping. The face of Governor Nian was calm before the storm.

Erlundai looked at his face, closed his mouth instinctively, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and only heard Nian Gengyao softly say: "Shibo (named by this generation), I will lend you a few people."

The Eight Banners have a legacy of slavery, and one of the more obvious examples is domestic slaves.The house slaves of the aristocratic family not only serve the master, but also have the nature of trilogy. In short, they can be regarded as small private arms, although there are fewer and fewer house slaves of this nature in each family.As centipedes, the Tong family still has many slaves.

Orondai came alive: "There are only two hundred people, but... what are you going to do?"

Nian Gengyao also had serfs, but they were not as professional as the Tong family, and there were not many serfs.After thinking about it, he felt that this matter could not be hidden from Orondai, and he didn't particularly trust Orondai, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Teach them, strengthen maritime patrols, so that people don't come to rob the people of the Qing Dynasty again." !" Since the red hair can come, why can't I send someone over?If he can kidnap someone, I can kill someone!
This reason is quite legitimate, but... what do you want the house slave to do?Isn't there a sailor?Orondai wisely didn't ask further, that was his slave, he must listen to him, and he was trained, when someone worked for him back then, he wanted to know some news, and when he asked, his slave dared not tell of it?At that time, if there is merit, he can also get a share of it. If there is disaster, he can only presume that he doesn't know, and Nian is just borrowing a few people from him, and he can't push back the favor.

The two have their own ghosts, and they both have the idea of ​​using each other.
