: Three hundred and eighty-eight Nan Fenglie (16)

The sea water slammed against the side of the ship and made a rumbling sound. The water became a circle of scattered white lines under the thick hull. Three huge ships from the north stopped slowly into Longchang Port, which was not a large port, which attracted the center of the port. Biathlon finger pointing
"What a weird ship, why don't you even have a banner?’
The Longchang people in the port were already blaming the Yu Empire Merchant Ship flying two flags, but it was not the first time they saw none of the flags. For the merchant ships, the flag was like an identity mark.
"It's an imperial ship"
An imperial businessman who was counting goods at the port looked curiously and looked slightly surprised. These three merchant ships are imperial merchant ships. It is true that according to the convention of imperial merchant ships, double flags must be hoisted. On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce
"It looks like a smuggling ship, and these smugglers are so courageous that they dare to enter the port so majesticly"
"Here is Central Abyss, not the empire. These guys are bold and normal." Next to the empire businessman, a middle-aged empire businessman's eyes flickered, murmured, without flying double flags. The imperial merchant ships are generally smuggled ships. As the Yelvs belonged to the vassal area of ​​the empire, the empire's commercial lines in the north have been completely opened up. The imperial merchants from the north have also appeared more and more frequently in the port docks in southern Centralbia. Smuggling ships have also begun to appear in the Central Biya area, but ordinary smuggling ships are not too large. Although the interests of large smuggling ships are higher, the huge size also means that they are bulky. Once they encounter the patrol of the Imperial Navy at sea The team is basically the sunk part
It was also the first time that this huge merchant ship, such as the three huge smuggling ships in front of him, saw this big ship, which could not be built casually,
"Don't guess, in my opinion, it should not be the real merchant marine team." His companion glanced away from a distance, and said with a sigh of relief. "It should be our heart, the ship is from the empire, but it's true The grand opening into the pier is not necessarily a smuggling ship, but it does not fly the banner of the Imperial Business Alliance."
"In fact, this situation is within the empire, and we have not encountered "his companion's voice paused, continue to say" For example, this merchant fleet is not a real merchant fleet, but belongs to a certain empire Some departments, such as the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior, have their own fleet of transportation. Longchang Port, as one of the six largest ports in southern Centralbia, is located close to the north sea route, coming from the north. Of the fleet’s fleet first arrived in the port, so it’s reasonable to see the fleets of these departments.

‘Department’s? Maybe it is. . . Hey, look, that is. . . . . . ! "Just when the companion of the businessman determined that the three merchant ships were ships of a certain department of the empire, he suddenly heard a surprise voice from the businessman and looked down at the businessman's eyes. The shoulder of the imperial businessman shivered. After a while, I saw three merchant ships docked at the pier, and a flag was slowly raised. It was a silver flag embroidered with a flying falcon, and a silver satin surface shone in the sun. With pale white brilliance
"My God, this is the ship of the Imperial Bank!"
The eyes of the merchants are almost bulging out. As long as they are imperial merchants, they all know what the Imperial Bank represents. That is the most powerful economic aggression machine of the empire. If the business alliance is a big tree rooted in the soil of the empire, then The Imperial Bank is a huge river that nourishes the entire Empire’s business,
Compared with the purely commercial nature of the business alliance, the Imperial Bank is like a financial beast that devours everything, drawing all the materials, minerals, taxation and land of other countries into the empire, and its sphere of influence not only covers the current empire. The area under control, that is, the three-quarters of the royal family in Obaroine Hainan, is the debtor of the Imperial Bank, and the Imperial Bank also has the paramilitary organization Imperial Banner, which ensures that no one will use power to repay the debt. The flag team is the mercenary of the Imperial Bank. If the empire launches military operations abroad, it will inevitably affect the nerves of all countries. However, if the military operations are carried out by the Imperial Bank flag team, most other countries are reporting gloating and owing money. No, you deserve it!
In the southern part of Obaro, it can be said that the Imperial Bank has changed to a degree, but in Centralbia, the Imperial Bank is really not showing the mountains and the waters. The first business allocated was actually some time ago. If it is completed, it is a loan of three million gold coins to the Yelu family, and the Yelu family mortgaged the tax for ten years in the Dijing area. Of course, this is a secret transaction, and it is not known to the outside world at all.
"Zheng Zhi is back!" With this news, as Zheng Zhi came down from the huge imperial merchant ship, it was like a gust of wind blowing over the Long Street pier with people flowing, but it was only in an imperceptible place that spurred the entire Longchang Port. Great changes
"Unexpectedly, this Zheng Zhi dare to come back, originally just wanted to suppress the Zheng family, kill the chickens and monkeys, and let other businessmen in Longchang bow down to my Wu family. "The Wujia heart is ruthless" In the Wujia mansion, the Wujia family, Wu Yuan, who received the news, hit a gloomy hand on the table,
"People Wuyuan, I have no opinion if you want to start with the Zheng family, but if this affects our requirements, then everything will be nullified."
An old Aden man sitting across from the dark cloud looked lightly and took a cup of water on the table, gently sipped it, with a pair of blue eyes in the deep orbit, and his appearance was completely different from that of the Central Biya people. The pure white Baotou Inlaid with a big ruby ​​like a flame, wearing a white and blue line of robes, exposed fingers, each finger with a ring of huge gems, can be described as a pearl jewel
"Patriarch Aaronge was too worried, just a Zheng family, pressing them down, it was a matter of flipping their hands. But here is Longchang. If my Wu family said one, absolutely no one would dare to say second Longchang. Elder Aaronge’s funds are in place, and I can say with assurance that only Aden merchant ships can call at Longchang later. As for the imperial merchants, they will go back wherever they come!
Wu Yuan said flatteredly when he heard the words of the old Aden The old man in front of him was Aaronge, and he was the premier elder among the Aden merchants. He was really rich and enemies. He found Wuyuan this time, and specifically proposed to support the Wujia family of 500,000 gold, on the condition that Longchang Port become an Aden merchant. 'S exclusive port,
"The Wuyuan patriarch told me that it was useless. I only recognized the result. A Zheng family couldn't suppress it. They still talked about how to control the entire Longchang? When the imperial merchant ships in the port disappeared, come talk to me about the follow-up funds. "Okay," Alenge put down the glass in his hand, stood up, his wrinkled eyes flashed with contempt
The so-called Longchang Wujia is nothing more than that,
After spending more than ten years in Central Biya, he was too aware of the natural face of the Central Biya people. The Wu family in Longchang, behind him, was a heavy minister of the second class, holding more than half of the trade in Longchang port. On the one hand, letting Longchang Port not accept the berth of imperial merchant ships is not a lie, but the premise is that no one in Longchang dares to stand up against Wujia,
After all, breaking the interests of the imperial merchant ship will inevitably affect other merchants in Longchang, and only the Adenians and the Wujia will benefit from it. Therefore, the Wujia must take out the thunder means. Wu Yuan was really anxious to go, "If Elder Aaronge is not at ease, then I will let the elders know that my Wu family will suppress the Zheng family, just a word"
Wu Yuan knew that the Adenites had robbed them of their position in the southern sea, so they should completely block the road to the south of the imperial merchant fleet. This kind of commercial war between the nations is a golden opportunity for the Wu family. So big, is it right for the Aden to win or the Empire to win?
In order to prove to the Adenites that the Wu family dominated the Longchang port, a month ago, the Wu family colluded with the Longchang government and forcibly asked the Zheng family to pay a high price to buy food to fill the vacancy. So blatantly, they wanted to take a look. Who dares to stand up Being in the lead for the Zheng family made Wu Yuan satisfied. No one in Longchang dared to stand up. If the Zheng family chose to be forbearing, then this matter will be passed, and the Wu family will not kill the Zheng family. After squeezing clean, drive out of Longchang Port
Hearing the news of Zheng Zhi's escape, Wu Yuan was still patting the chest of the Aden to make sure that the Aden's money fell into his pocket. He had heard the sound of Jingle. Zheng Zhi actually came back again, and still came back in an imperial merchant ship. This is not what beats his face in the face of the Aden. This is not a person, but a lot of money. The Aden people promised to support him 100,000, and then 50,000 a year, even if the Wujia's leading gate valve, the annual income in the port, add up to only 20,000 or 30,000, after excluding the expenses, the remaining Not much is underway,
How can such a huge interest be indifferent!
"Then I will give the Wu Yuan patriarch a chance. Within a day, if the Wu family can't calm this thing, then we don't need to talk about it." Aaron deliberately pretended to look impatient and monopolized the port. If this kind of thing was in the period when the Aden merchants were in the dominant position, only one sentence is enough to prevent the six Central Asian commercial ports from daring to leap forward. If it is not for the imperial navy to win a decisive victory in the southern sea of ​​Central Abia, Aden is in The commercial monopoly in China and Central Asia is still continuing, and it does not need to be like the present, and it is necessary to lure a Wu family.
But as long as it is able to monopolize the ports of Centralbia,
You should know that now, when southern Centralbia is the most chaotic, the news that the empire is going south has generally entered the wild winds, which has caused southern Centralbia to panic. The prices of various materials have skyrocketed, and the price of food has become sky-high, because it is now In the May season, the grain is not yet mature, and the empire and Centralbia are in a state of war. The only way for the Centralbia to buy grain is through the port.
If the Aden merchants can monopolize the port completely, one can imagine the huge profits,
Moreover, the Aden merchants such as the elders of Agrann have long received orders from the Aden family to require the Aden merchants of various families in Central Biya to do their utmost to monopolize the southern market of Central Biya, "using the power of the merchant to manipulate This is the plan made by Aden. The control of the port is undoubtedly the most critical step. For this reason, the Aden side has also invested its blood.
"Go and grab Zheng Zhi here for me now!" Wu Yuan shouted the housekeeper in the house loudly, and soon the housekeeper left Wujia with a dozen guards to pounce on Zheng's house. The butler was confident that he wanted to grab a Zheng Zhi. The dozen guards were already very high-profile. The guards carried wooden sticks one by one in a fierce manner. When they saw the people of the Wu family, the people on the street scattered.
"It seems to catch Zheng Zhi!"
"Isn't it right? Zheng Zhi is also stupid. How can he return after he has run away? Isn't this a self-investment!" There was a lot of public opinion on the street, and one of the young people in China saw the Wujia's housekeeper with guards toward Zheng Going home, panicking, tumbling a few times, standing up, shaking, muddy.
"What come back, what come back!"
This young man turned pale and turned into an alley quickly~EbookFREE.me~His name is Feng Yue. He is counted as Zheng Zhi’s youngest uncle. The Feng family is a small family in Longchang Port. Suppressing the Zheng family, Zheng Zhi took his son Zheng Long to the north. Zheng Zhi's wife hid back to the Feng family. Hearing the legend that Zheng Zhi was back, Feng Yuecai ran out quickly and wanted to take a look at the Zheng family. , I didn't expect to see Wujia's housekeeper and guards halfway along,
"What are you saying, Zheng Zhi is back?" In another large courtyard, a white-faced Central Asian businessman suddenly stood up from his seat, his face murky, and in front of him, there was a gasping figure Obese fat man, constantly wiping his sweat with his hands, looking at the white-faced businessman in Central Asia, trembling and saying, "It's true, I saw it with my own eyes, this time it's going to be a big deal. Zheng Zheng's coming back, the Wu family will definitely not He will let him go, what should I do now? Are we going to stand up or not, if we sit and watch Zheng Zhi get caught by Wujia, I am afraid that nobody in Longchang really dares to resist Wujia, once Wujia If the imperial merchants are not allowed to stop, so much money invested by you and us will be considered a float!"
"Zheng Zhi is going to be finished! The Zheng family is going to be finished!" The people on the street were all talking and looking at the direction of the Zheng family is full of pity. The Zheng family is now a tree down Hu Shunsan, what else is used to fight against the Wu family, Zheng At the door of the house, looking at the closed door, the housekeeper waved a hand with a sneer. "I really thought it would be okay to hide, just smash it open to me"
In a study room in Longchang, a man of great grace and brilliance revealed a secret letter in his hand and pressed a secret letter in his hand on the table, raised his head and looked out of the window, his hands clenched together unconsciously. Zheng Zhi is back, it seems that the Emperor His Majesty still saw the report! In the face of the Aden's money offensive, I do not know what means the imperial emperor will take to counter rw
