The smooth recovery of Taiwan exceeded many people's expectations and broke the myth of Lingbao's indestructibility.
Suddenly, countless Xiyi people were shocked.
Especially the Portuguese in Macau are extremely fearful.
I was afraid that the Ming army would come and kill me in my sleep again.
In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the Portuguese asked to dry their goods on the beach of Macao on the pretext that the boat was hit by a storm, and Wang Bana, deputy envoy of the sea route, agreed. The Portuguese began to build tents to live in Macau. Then the Portuguese colonists took over the right of residence in Macau.
It has been 75 years now.
Although the rent is paid in name and it is a temporary stay, in fact everyone knows that it is illegal occupation.
The reason why I paid the rent on time was because I was afraid of being beaten by the Ming Navy.
If in the past, Ming Dynasty had dealt with the Dutch, Portugal might have set off firecrackers to celebrate.
But now, these Portuguese people are not in a happy mood at all.
Without him, because Ming Dynasty wants to drive them out.
At this time, Odo Mascara Road had already turned gray with worry.
Giving up means losing interests.
But if he didn't give up, Mashakallu didn't think he could stop the Ming Dynasty's offensive with just a few hundred soldiers in his hands.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Mashakallu sent someone to bribe the governor of Guangzhou.
As a result, Majia Lu was extremely frightened. The Governor of Guangzhou, who had always regarded wealth as his life, immediately changed his face when he heard about their intention. They were driven out without saying a word.
After Ma Shiqialu learned the news, he immediately understood the path involved. Ming Dynasty was determined to take back Macau.
But even so, Mascara did not immediately order a retreat.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave this place of right and wrong, he really has to stay.
In 1975, the Portuguese gathered a lot of wealth in Macau.
This wealth cannot be completely transported out in a short time.
Even if it can be transported.
Without the protection of warships, these treasures are everyone's lifeline.
But giving up is unrealistic.
People are all, greedy!
Even if they know that the butcher's knife is coming, there will still be a lot of people holding on to their money and not letting go.
Especially the Portuguese who stay in Macau, their purpose is money! For money!
If you want them to leave their money and run for their lives, you will have to kill them!
Sir, the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to ask us to move out of Macau within a month.
"Where is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty? Please come in quickly.
By the way, notify the warehouse to pick up the 10,000 taels of Qiming Chamber of Commerce's banknote and deliver it over. "Maskaru changed his sad face and said with a smile.
Although he wished he could chop this Ming envoy alive, Mashakallu naturally changed his mood.
Because he knows that he must take this fact seriously.
The messenger represents the face of the Ming Dynasty. His mood will even directly affect the movements of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the future of these Portuguese people in Macau depends on the thought of this messenger.
Once the other party gets upset and goes back to talk nonsense, he or she will die without even knowing it.
And I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty used people without birds as envoys.
Rumor has it that after these messenger birds disappeared, they loved money as much as their lives, and at the same time they were very perverted.
Since the messenger did not report the name of the messenger, he probably would not know the messenger.
Since you don't know him, you can't go with him.
But if you have money, everything will be easy. After all, although this thing is vulgar, how many people in the world don't love money?
....
"My lord, this is a fine piece of Tieguanyin that I bought from Fujian,"
Mashajialu smiled and handed the Ming envoy a beautiful tea box.
The Ming envoy was stunned when he saw it, and then opened the tea box with understanding. Lying quietly inside was a beautifully made banknote.
The large red seal of the Qiming Chamber of Commerce, the exquisite picture of the Great Wall, the seven-color overprint, and the faint watermark have proven that this banknote is indeed a banknote produced by the Qiming Chamber of Commerce.
Coupled with the Wantong logo above, it proves that this genuine banknote only needs the matching secret key and the corresponding password to get 10,000 taels of silver at any Qiming Bank exchange office in Ming Dynasty.
"You guys are all going down." Daming waved his hand, and the guards behind him walked out confidently.
"You guys can go down too." Mascara quickly understood what the other party meant and drove the others around him out in a hurry.
Soon, only the Ming envoy and Ma Shiqialu were left in Noda's reception room.
"What's the password for this thing?" the Ming envoy asked straight to the point.
This is not because the envoy of the Ming Dynasty is greedy for money, but for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Those who can serve as envoys are all Zhu Youjian's confidants. They know very well His Majesty's hatred of corrupt officials!
Although His Majesty has increased the salaries of officials and formulated post-retirement benefits.
But even a blind person can see that His Majesty hates corrupt officials.
As a confidant of His Majesty, he naturally knew that His Majesty had always wanted to restore the punishment for corrupt officials during the Hongwu period.
But as an envoy, is it possible not to be greedy?
If you want to carry out your Majesty's instructions well, you must first reassure the other party.
It would be easier if the other party was from Ming Dynasty.
It is difficult to deal with foreigners.
They have long been accustomed to using that money to bribe dog officials. How can they feel at ease if they don't charge money?
Fortunately, His Majesty is a wise king and allows everyone to accept bribes while ensuring the interests of Ming Dynasty. However, 90% of the bribe must be paid afterwards to serve as the national treasury.
This is not the end, you still need to pay 30% personal income tax.
In other words, out of 10,000 taels, in the end, only 700 taels will fall into your hands.
However, although 700 taels is a small amount, it is an aboveboard income, a reasonable and legal income, so you can take it with confidence and spend it with peace of mind.
"789514" Mascara readily revealed the password for these banknotes.
Although Qiming Merchant was a giant in the Ming Dynasty, it had a great influence in the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty.
But in fact, the bank notes they issued, especially the large-value bank notes, could only be used within the Ming Dynasty.
After all, it is a gadget. Although it is safe and convenient, it is just a banknote. In the Ming Dynasty, it can be exchanged for Baihuahua's silver. But after the Ming Dynasty, it is just a piece of paper that looks better. Who would recognize it?
There is no such thing as white money that looks real.
If it weren't for the convenience of bribery, Mashakar Road wouldn't have so many banknotes.
"What do you want to know?" Seeing that the other party was so happy, the Ming envoy said directly.
Although we can’t be sure whether the password is authentic or not, the banknote is authentic!
The 10,000 taels of silver notes proved that the other party had indeed deposited 10,010 taels of silver at the Qiming Chamber of Commerce.
(Qiming Chamber of Commerce’s universal banknotes are subject to a universal service fee of one thousandth.)
Others don’t know, and as His Majesty’s confidants don’t know yet, Qiming Chamber of Commerce is His Majesty’s property?
Even without passwords and credentials, it is not difficult to withdraw the 10,000 taels of silver.
The reason why I ask more is simply that other methods are more troublesome.
"Sir, we have lived in Macau for a long time. We have always abided by the law and paid our fees on time. Please tell the Emperor of Ming Dynasty whether we can continue to stay here? We can pay 1,000 taels of silver every year."
"This matter is difficult to handle." The Ming Dynasty envoy. He twirled his fingers and said.
Although the 700 taels he received was already a lot, who would dislike the small amount of money he received?
"tmd" Although Ma Shijialu had passed through the eighteen generations of the Ming envoy's ancestors in his heart, he still handed the Ming envoy another silver note honestly.
