The boom was the sound of the Vulcan cannon roaring, and it didn't take long for Xiong Yan to come to a certain island under the layers of defense of the army.This island is really not big, and Xiong Yan estimates that the total area is only two or three square kilometers.However, there are some streams on it, and it is also a trading den for pirates.There are too many such small islands, above the sea.Even if a soldier is stationed on an island, the cost is so great that the imperial court can't stand it.What's more, the resistance of such islands in the face of strong winds and waves is almost zero.The investable value is very small.Over time, they became a paradise for pirates and maritime merchants.After turning around again, cutting down some pirates, and catching some smuggling maritime merchants, Xiong Yan finally came ashore again.It's just that it's different from what other officials are used to.Other officials like to behead the pirates they caught, and then cast them into Jingguan.But Xiong Yan is different, the pirates fell into his hands, the valuable ones are good, and the worthless ones are directly executed!"
Artillery execution, artillery execution!"
Bang!
A lot of spirit stones were wasted, and dozens of pirates were shelled, directly turning into meat paste and powder.Looking at these pirates who were executed, looking at the groups of smuggling merchants who were caught, the hearts of many families were dripping blood.It turns out that this is what Xiong Yan said, isn't it guaranteed to be safe?
If you don't trade in Gu County, you are smuggling.And smuggling, the court does not guarantee safety!
But now it seems that where is this not guaranteed safety, this is active bombardment!
What is the purpose of the imperial court dispatching a naval army to actively pursue and kill smuggled maritime merchants?
Of course, it is not a ban on maritime trade, but a ban on smuggling.Maritime trade, trade with overseas mermaids, overseas demon clans, and overseas human races, can indeed make a lot of money.Theoretically speaking, even if it is only through Gu County's transactions, the imperial court continues to collect taxes, and it can make a lot of money.But who would have too much money?
What's more, when smuggling, you can smuggle steel, spirit stones, and large-scale smuggled grain, can you trade normally?
On this day, dozens of guys wearing masks gathered together again.Here, there are many formations set up around to cover the heavens.And those who can come here are all spokesmen for each force.It's just that the atmosphere of this meeting is a bit miserable.It's not at all the same as the last time, the cheerful look.And the content of what they said was even more sad for the listeners, and weeping for the hearers, which was really sad."
The day before yesterday, just the day before yesterday, one of the family's treasure ships was lost and seized.Now, it is already the spoils of the imperial court.On that ship, there were 8,000 stone of grain alone. ”Of course, if it was only eight thousand stone grain, it would not make him so sad, but there were still 100,000 catties of refined iron in it, but the family spent a lot of time and worked hard to collect it.As a result, before the transaction was successful, it was directly lost.Even the treasure ship is gone, which is a huge loss."
On a certain day and in a certain month, that lord led the imperial navy to encircle and suppress Dashidao, killed thousands ......of pirates, rescued thousands of ordinary people, and captured hundreds of smuggling maritime merchants" "In this campaign, as many as 128 kinds of contraband and contraband were seized, and the total value was as much as 3 million taels.What's more, Dashidao, which we have been operating for a long time, has been confiscated. ”"Today's Dashidao has been occupied by the garrison.The adult's original words were: Dashidao has good feng shui, you can reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, work hard, and after a few years, the imperial court can have more land. ”"Obviously, it's not the same as the previous court.After occupying the good island, he has no intention of giving it up again. ”"You all know that once the imperial court really builds a complete establishment on it, there will be townships and villages.Even if this person leaves office in the future, these islands will leave us. ”As soon as you say a word, I say a word, dozens of masked men together will clearly explain Xiong Yan's recent behavior."
It can't go on like this!""
No one can rob my family of money!""
Yes, this is a money grab!""
We have been smuggling for hundreds or thousands of years, and the old tradition of a long, long time ago is old, how can it be said that it will change?""
That's right, this time it's really the imperial court that went too far."
Listening to everyone's discussions, a certain guy wearing a wolf-faced mask suddenly spoke: "I think it is necessary for us to take further drastic measures, and this lord must also pay the price." ”It's just that the expected response did not appear.The rest of the masked men had different expressions.However, there was no one who directly shouted in agreement."
If we suffer a loss, let's suffer a loss.At most, it is no longer smuggling in the future, and paying taxes honestly. ”"As long as you can continue to trade and continue to make money, it doesn't matter how much you earn.Therefore, I don't need to know about the next drastic measures, just go, just go. ”With that, the masked man really got up and left.After all, secretly digging into the corners of the imperial court underground, this kind of thing is really common.Even, which family, if in the process of rising, has not dug the corners of the court, it is not normal.However, from digging the foot of the wall to directly fighting the court, it is not only a matter of courage, it is a problem of brain."
That's right, over the years, the family has made a lot of money.As long as the maritime trade does not stop and smuggling is prohibited, smuggling should be banned, anyway, it is just a little less money. ”"If it's a reasonable confrontation, I'm in favor of it.However, if you take drastic measures, or even resist head-on, then forget it.The imperial court, after all, is the imperial court. ”"I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke, and my family doesn't confront the court head-on.If you change your mind, you can come back and let me know.Together, I am still interested in a reasonable and legal confrontation with Taishou. ”The family and the Taishou, within the unspoken rules allowed by the imperial court, constantly confronted each other, which the imperial court tolerated.However, once the bottom line is exceeded, something will really happen."
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the next thing.My family, keep to myself.Make money honestly, reasonably and legally confront Taishou, and fight within the rules.As for the rules, my family never crosses the bottom line. ”Slowly, there were only a few of the dozens of masked men left.They are dog-faced men, wolf-faced men, lion-faced men, and snake-faced men."
Hehe, one or two pretending to be good people, aren't they still waiting for us to do it first, they are so cheap!""
Hey, who made our family have a closer relationship with that side, and in the smuggling, make the most money?
Nowadays, isolation is understandable. ”"So what do we do?""
Get ready to get your hands dirty
