The Most Powerful Man in the World

Glancing at Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi said lightly, "Take it with me, let's interrogate him."

However, it was said that the Qin family, as a maritime family in Fuzhou Prefecture second only to the Gu family, the Qin family's own background was not bad. Qin Wei, the patriarch of the Qin family, looked at the contents of the prefect's letter in the quiet room with a cold light in his eyes.

The huge profits of maritime trade are not completely unimaginable for maritime merchants. Chu Yi wants to open the sea, which is equivalent to cutting their flesh with a knife. As a new maritime merchant family, the Qin family wants to grow and even surpass the old maritime merchant family. Gu family, then we must resolutely oppose opening the sea, otherwise once the sea is opened, the huge profits that support the Qin family's growth will disappear.

Unlike Gu Bing, who is mature and prudent, Qin Wei is full of drive. It can even be said that if the Qin family is given another 20 years, it may not be impossible to surpass the Gu family and become the number one maritime merchant in Fuzhou.

Outside the Qin mansion, Fang Li looked at the huge manor of the Qin family and said with a smile to Gu Bing next to him, "Patriarch Gu, it seems that the Qin family has a lot of thoughts. Looking at the layout, they are trying to surpass your Gu family. ."

There was a complicated look in Gu Bing's eyes. There were many open and secret battles between the Qin and Gu families. If it wasn't for the Han family, the battle between the two families would have escalated long ago.

Qin Wei, the head of the Qin family, is regarded as a serious problem by Gu Bing. Gu Bing has dreamed many times that he wanted to destroy the Qin family, but he never wanted to destroy the Qin family, but it was under such circumstances.

So many soldiers surrounded the Qin family, but the group did not hide their whereabouts, and it was impossible for the Qin family not to notice.

Chapter 250 Three Huge Profits Touching Hearts [4400 plus more]

With a bang, the door of the quiet room was slammed open, Qin Tonghu said to Qin Wei with a face: "Brother, there are officers and soldiers surrounding our Qin mansion!"

Qin Wei stood up suddenly, looking at Tong Qin with a look of shock on his face: "What, officers and soldiers, where are the officers and soldiers?"

The Fuzhou prefectural guardhouse was almost infiltrated by several of their families, and even hundreds of officials were members of their families. If it was said that the guards were mobilized, their Qin family would have received the news long ago.

Suddenly, Qin Wei's eyes narrowed and he exclaimed, "No, Jing Haijun, Cheng Xiangwu!"

Qin Tong's expression changed when he heard the words: "Cheng Xiangwu? How could he..."

Only Qin Wei knew the contents of the secret letter sent by the prefect Lin Guangwen to him, and the rest of the Qin family did not know it at all, so Qin Tong just wondered why the Jinghai Navy suddenly surrounded their Qin family.

But Qin Wei had a vague guess, and because of this, Qin Wei's face was very ugly.

Looking at the secret letter, Qin Wei suddenly let out a low growl, "Lin Guangwen, you man, you are so tricking me!"

In Qin Wei's opinion, not long after Lin Guangwen handed him the secret letter, Cheng Xiangwu's army surrounded the Qin mansion.

Cheng Xiangwu's army has been stationed outside Fuzhou City for more than a month, and he has never seen Cheng Xiangwu enter the city. As a result, he just received a secret letter from Lin Guangwen, and the army surrounded Qin Mansion. Qin Wei can only guess that Lin Guangwen leaked it. message.

In other words, Lin Guangwen had been targeted for a long time, and Cheng Xiangwu was waiting to close the net, so Lin Guangwen's secret letter was not long after he entered the Qin Mansion, and Cheng Xiangwu's troops were killed.

Qin Tong looked at his eldest brother with a puzzled expression, why did he suddenly scold the prefect, Lin Guangwen, for no reason.

Although they say that the Qin family is not afraid of Lin Guangwen, there is no need to offend a prefect, especially the behemoth of the Lin family standing behind the prefect.

"Brother, you are..."

Qin Wei took a deep breath, grabbed Qin Tong's shoulder and said: "Ninth brother, our Qin family is afraid that this time the family will be wiped out, you quickly find a way to escape, join our Qin family's fleet, and stay here no matter what. Qin family incense, hurry up!"

Qin Tong was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Qin Wei in amazement.

Qin Wei shouted: "What are you doing, hurry up!"

Qin Tong turned around and left, disappearing into the distance.

Qin Wei burned the secret letter from the prefect, then straightened his clothes and slowly left the quiet room. At this moment, the Qin family was already panicking.

Fortunately, the family was very strict during the day of the ***, and although people were panicked, there was no confusion.

The family guards gathered in the front hall under the leadership of two worshippers. Although there were not many people, no one retreated.

At this moment, the gate has been knocked open, and a group of soldiers poured into the Qin family manor. Even in the face of the soldiers holding weapons, dozens of Qin family guards did not retreat.

Fang Li glanced at these brave and strong men, and heard Gu Bing whisper: "These are the family guards of the Qin family, and they are all brave people who have spent the rest of their lives at sea."

Fang Li nodded slightly, then glanced at everyone in the Qin family and said, "Master of the Qin family, where is Qin Wei!"

At this moment Qin Weiwei came, and everyone in the Qin family consciously moved out of the way. When they approached, they shrank their eyes when they saw the soldiers who rushed into the courtyard, and finally their eyes fell on Fang Li and Gu Bing. .

Seeing Gu Bing, Qin Wei couldn't help but look extremely ugly, and shouted at Gu Bing: "Gu Bing, you actually colluded with the officials to harm my Qin family, you are so vicious."

When Qin Wei saw Gu Bing, he thought that these soldiers were brought by Gu Bing, so he reacted extremely violently.

Fang Li looked at Gu Bing, then at Qin Wei, and said with a chuckle, "Patriarch Qin, something happened to your Qin family!"

For a moment, Qin Wei noticed that Gu Bing was half a step behind Fang Li, which meant that Fang Li was more noble than Gu Bing. Hearing the words, Qin Wei cupped his hands and said to Fang Li: "This lord , My Qin family was wronged, I don’t know how much gold and silver property the Gu family gave out, my Qin family is willing to double it, I just ask the adults to raise your hand and let my Qin family go.”

Fang Li couldn't help laughing, glanced at Gu Bing, and then said to Qin Wei: "Oh, is what Qin Patriarch said true?"

Qin Wei's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head seriously: "Qin Youyan is so hard to follow, how dare you deceive the military masters!"

Fang Li said, "Then listen carefully. Patriarch Gu donated 350 million taels of gold and silver to my master. The land is more than 700 mu, almost [-]% of the family property. If Patriarch Qin can provide [-] million taels of silver, Fang may be able to make the decision." , let the Qin family go..."

Qin Wei's eyeballs almost fell. The amount that Fang Li said was beyond his imagination. Looking at Fang Li's awe-inspiring appearance, Qin Wei suddenly couldn't help laughing. On the side, he said, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, Gu Bing will give up most of his fortune when he's crazy..."

Gu Bing looked at Qin Wei and sighed: "Qin Wei, the Qin family is over!"

Fang Li shouted: "The Qin family colluded with bandits in the Jianghu and lakes to assassinate the Earl of Daming, and now they have all the stolen goods. Under the order of the governor, the Qin family was confiscated."

Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, then screamed: "This is framed and framed, Qin is not satisfied, Qin is not satisfied!"

Gu Bing said slowly: "Gu Mou can testify that Qin and Han colluded with bandits to assassinate Lord Earl."

Qin Wei was horrified and looked at Gu Bing with a look of shock, and suddenly reacted: "You...you turned to the eunuch, Gu Bing, you are really crazy!"

At this moment, Fang Li waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone listen, go forward to arrest the Qin family, and don't let anyone go!"

Qin Wei shouted with red eyes: "The guards obey the order, kill me!"

Suddenly, dozens of escort members looked at me, I looked at you, and a Gensenhan spear surrounded them. Under such a situation, even the guards who were not afraid of death couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing this, Qin Wei drew his sword and rushed forward, slashing a soldier to the ground with one sword. Only then did the guards react and rush towards him howling.

Qin Wei shouted while rushing: "Follow me out!"

A team of soldiers stepped forward and protected Fang Li and Gu Bing behind them with shields and spears. At this moment, they heard a loud shout: "Archer, shoot!"

Immediately, an arrow broke through the air, and in an instant, it disappeared into the guards such as Qin Wei. The screams came, and a famous guard member fell to the ground, and even some people were covered with sacks. arrow.

Dozens of escorts were indeed not afraid of death, even if they knew it was death, but under the leadership of Qin Wei, they rushed towards the army in full force.

The gap in strength between the two sides is really too big. It is a delusion for dozens of people to break through the thousands of prepared troops, not to mention that there are masters like Qi Hu sitting in the town.

With Qin Wei and a group of escorts killed, the Qin family lost their military support, and no one dared to resist when those tribesmen faced the fierce soldiers.

It was just a cup of tea, and the Qin family was easily taken down.

Fang Li left a few Dongchang Fanzi to supervise hundreds of soldiers to confiscate the Qin family's property, while he led the army straight to the Han family with Gu Bing and Qi Hu.

The Han family is even worse than the Qin family, but Han Ming, the head of the Han family, is not simple. Facing the strength of the Gu family, the Qin and Han families are united in many things to deal with the Gu family.

Compared with leading soldiers to die in the chaos, when the army rushed into the Han family, Han Ming chose to capture him without his hands.

In one day, the Qin and Han families were all seized, and their property was confiscated.

In the barracks outside the city, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin and said, "What was the result?"

Cao Shaoqin said with a bit of disdain: "Then Lin Guangwen is a waste. He hasn't waited for the torture yet. Just seeing the torture tools, the whole person is terrified. It can be said that he can say whatever he asks, without any hesitation."

Chu Yi sighed softly: "Among the literati, there are not many people who regard death as home, and nine out of ten officials in the world are like this Lin Guangwen, who forgets righteousness when they see profits. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were able to pick up swords and guns, and they were able to rule the world's literati. The character has long since been destroyed."

After a sigh, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin, only to hear Cao Shaoqin slowly talk about Lin Guangwen and the huge Lin family behind him.

Chu Yi raised his brows and said, "I never imagined that such a force is still entrenched in Zhejiang, and that the military and politics of a province are controlled by one family."

Cao Shaoqin looked at Chu Yi and said, "The Governor, according to Lin Guangwen's account, the Lin family has teamed up with many maritime merchants to send a large amount of money to the officials in Beijing. I'm afraid that the officials will unanimously oppose the Governor opening the sea!"

Chu Yi sneered and said, "Hundred officials oppose? Even if the hundred officials object to the matter decided by the governor, it will definitely be carried out. I will see when the time comes, whether the money of the sea merchants is more attractive, or the original one. The Governor's butcher's knife is even more moving!"

A light flashed in Cao Shaoqin's eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said, "This Lin family..."

Chu Yi said slowly: "No hurry, no hurry, since the Lin family is willing to help the Governor to find out the maritime merchants who choose to stand against the Governor, how can the Governor let the Lin family down!"

There was a commotion, and when he saw the big tent being opened, Cheng Xiangwu walked into the big tent with a happy face and said, "Master, great harvest!"

Seeing Cheng Xiangwu's happy face, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, to make Uncle Dingwu so happy, it seems that the Qin and Han families have a lot of wealth."

Cheng Xiangwu laughed and said: "It's not just a lot, it's scary how much. There are as many as 500 million taels of silver, [-] mu of land, and more than [-] shops and restaurants. That's not even two families Returning ship."

Chu Yi didn't look surprised. In addition to the powerful, the richest people in this era were the gentry and the sea merchants.

However, relatively speaking, most of the tyrants are not comparable to the maritime merchants. The maritime merchants make huge profits, especially overseas gold and silver. Often in the Ming Dynasty, the low-value porcelain, silk, tea and the like can be exchanged for the whole ship overseas. The huge profits of the gold and silver, which are huge, no wonder those maritime chambers of commerce are so madly and resolutely opposed to opening the sea.

Chapter 250 The Fourth Governor's Ambition! [4600 plus update]

It's not that these maritime businessmen are stupid, knowing that Chu Yi is not easy to provoke, but they have to fight against Chu Yi one by one, but they simply can't bear the terrible profit, even if they know that Chu Yi is a man-eating tiger, for the sake of profit. To be the man who slaughtered the tiger.

It is not uncommon for the Gu family to save millions of family properties through smuggling of sea trade for a hundred years. Although the Qin and Han families are not comparable to the Gu family, they are also the largest maritime merchant families in Fujian, so it is said that the two It is also reasonable to loot millions of family wealth.

What Cheng Xiangwu was excited about was not the gold and silver things, but the nearly [-] mu of land. If you add the [-] mu of fertile land owned by the Gu family, it would add up to [-] mu of land.

If all these fertile fields are given to the soldiers of the Jing Navy, the [-] yuan quota of the Jing Navy, even an ordinary soldier will be able to obtain at least ten acres of fertile fields, which is enough for the Jing Navy to work hard for it.

Looking at Chu Yi, Cheng Xiangwu said excitedly: "I also ask the governor to give an order to give Tianmu to the lieutenant general. The last general dares to promise that as long as Tianmu is given, an elite army can be trained within half a year."

Cheng Xiangwu stared at Chu Yi with burning eyes.

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "In this case, the Governor ordered Tian Mu to be awarded to the lieutenant general in the name of the Son of Heaven."

Cheng Xiangwu immediately bowed to Chu Yi and said, "The last commander, the lieutenant general, thanked the Son of Heaven for his great kindness. Long live your majesty, long live, long live the governor, thousands of years old!"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you just need to help the governor train the army."

Cheng Xiangwu cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Governor!"

After Cheng Xiangwu left, Fang Li, Qi Hu, and Gu Bing walked into the tent and bowed to Chu Yi.

Fang Li said to Chu Yi: "The Governor, both Qin and Han have been confiscated. There are more than [-] direct descendants in the two families. They are now imprisoned in the military camp, just waiting for the Governor."

Chu Yi nodded and glanced at Gu Bing: "Patriarch Gu, do the three of you have a shipyard?"

Vessels are definitely the foundation of maritime merchants. Small merchants with only three or two ships are nothing more than making a fuss. However, sea merchants such as the Gu family, Qin family, and Han family have dozens or hundreds of ships. Buying alone may not satisfy the wear and tear of ships at sea, so Chu Yi guessed that the three companies have their own shipyards in all likelihood.

Gu Bing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go back to the Governor, the three of us have our own shipyard in Xiamen Port."

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "If the Governor orders you to combine the three shipyards into one, and then provide enough materials for shipbuilding, how many ships can the shipyard launch in a year?"

Gu Bing took a deep breath and pondered: "The specific amount of water that can be launched, Gu does not dare to lie to the supervisor. After all, it depends on what kind of ship the supervisor builds, but the time required to build a merchant ship and a war ship is different. Merchant ships are also divided into sizes, and there are no specifications, Gu really dare not judge."

Chu Yi said with a smile: "But the governor was negligent. In this case, the governor ordered you to set up the Xiamen Shipyard. You are the head of the Xiamen Shipyard, and you are the seventh-rank official!"

Slightly stunned, Gu Bing reacted, with a look of surprise on his face, and bowed respectfully to Chu Yi: "Gu Bing thanks Governor!"

With a flick of his hand, Gu Bing got up.

Chu Yi looked at Fang Li and said, "It was decided just now that Wu Boyan confiscated the property of Qin and Han's family and obtained a huge amount of 500 million taels of silver, but is that so?"
