    In fact, this time, the gentry who had originally criticized the Japanese guards were anxious again.

    These people have money, food and land in Ningbo.

    ¡°When you see the merchants making a lot of money selling fish, how could you not rush in and get a share of the pie?

    Some gentry personally came forward to purchase whales and process them.

    ?Some also let their servants appear in the name of doing business.

    Others have secretly entered private stocks and joined businessmen.

    All in all, they made a huge investment in this business and made huge profits.

    ??For example, whale oil only needs to be processed, and the profit can be more than five times that of changing hands, as well as whale meat, dried fish, and pickled fish.

    It feels very good to enter the Golden Dou today.

    Suddenly, the boats in the water village stopped going to sea. For them, it was a disaster.

    How many goods have been negotiated with others, but if they cannot be delivered, what should I do?

    When did you go to sea? What happened? Will you go to sea again?

    Ordinary people are not allowed to fish in the sea. The Ming Dynasty has a sea ban, and only people from the water village are eligible.

    ¡°Moreover, even if you can go out to sea privately, can you have the ability to return home with so many large yellow croakers in a day or two? Do you dare to catch giant whales?

    They realized that without the Japanese guards, their financial resources would be cut off.

    So a group of young and old gentry couldn't sit still, their eyes were all red with anxiety, and they went to inquire everywhere, and then rushed to the prefect's Yamen in a hurry.

    After all, they have inquired about the Japanese guards¡¯ backstage, but it seems they can¡¯t afford to offend them

    After all, the prefect Wen Yansheng is easier to bully.

    So hundreds of people surrounded the prefect¡¯s Yamen aggressively.

    ?This is some of the older people.

    Then, many scholars came after hearing the news.

    ??Obviously, everyone looked very unhappy, but after all, they were still very polite and recommended a dozen gentry headed by Chen Taigong to enter.

    Wen Yansheng really dislikes these people. These people have a lot of energy in the local area, and they also like to form small circles. A group of people are bound by nostalgia. You marry my daughter, and my granddaughter marries your nephew.

    In short, such a group of people control almost everything in the local area. They also like to support their children to study. If they study well, they will be awarded Jinshi and become officials in the court. This is their basis in the capital.  They have mediocre qualifications and are barely qualified as scholars. In the local area, they hang out with a group of scholars and stir up various public opinions every day. They scold this one today and that tomorrow. They are so arrogant and domineering that the government cannot control them.

    ??????????????????????? No matter how mediocre your qualifications are, and you are not even considered a scholar, you will either do business secretly, or you will manage thousands of acres of land at home.

    Whenever there is anything in the government that does not suit their liking, they will explode and come in droves.

    If there are one or two such people, Wen Yansheng, the magistrate, will naturally not think highly of them, but what if there are thirty or fifty such aristocratic families?

    I can¡¯t afford to offend you.

    "Come, drink tea." Wen Yansheng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and put a smile on his face. After they met Li, they smiled very kindly.

    "I won't drink any more tea." Mr. Chen was leaning on a cane. He was over ninety years old. He had white hair and a cold face, looking a little irritable!

    Speaking of this ninety-year-old age, there is a huge advantage in this era, that is, he has sixteen sons and more than seventy grandchildren, and his branches are flourishing.

    What's more important is that his children and grandchildren are all married to the children of each family. Almost all of his daughters and granddaughters are married to such gentry families. This does not include a Jinshi in his family.  A person can be promoted to a civil servant, and a Jinshi can serve as a censor in Beijing. Anyone who is arrested will be scolded.  The two civil servants have now also applied for an official position. Although they are only low-ranking officials in the county, their lives are not too bad with the support of their family.

    He was in Ningbo Mansion. No matter which mansion he walked into, the head of the family would come out to see him. If he didn't call him uncle, he would have to call him grandfather.

    The only families that Ningbo Mansion can handle are these more than 100 families. These are big families with famous names. In this era, intermarriage emphasizes being well-matched. Starting from the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, more than 100 families have joined each other.  The blood relationship established can be said to be unbreakable.

    Taigong Chen had a bad complexion and a bad temper. He had a bad temper. After sitting down, holding his staff with both hands, he said in a deep voice: "I'm here to ask one thing. What's going on with the Japanese guards today?"  Not going to sea?"

    ¡°?Isn¡¯t it right to strive for profit?

    He was like blowing a bellows, he was so angry, then he coughed desperately, and kept beating the cane in his hand. The junior on the side wanted to help him, so he waved the cane away and said angrily: "The Japanese pirates are raging and bullying our people. We  God, these damn thieves, rape, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil. Can we just stand by and watch? In order to protect the people and the well-being of the soldiers and civilians in Ningbo Prefecture, Magistrate Wen, what do you say to these damn Japanese pirates?  How can we cut it off? From top to bottom in Ningbo, the rich will contribute money, and the strong will contribute strength. How many young men do you need, how much money do you need, how do you recruit local braves, you are the official of the parents, do you have any ideas?"

    "Yes, if the Japanese pirates who killed a thousand swords are not eliminated, the soldiers and people of Ningbo will be uneasy."

    "I am a farmer of more than seventy years, Magistrate Wen, if you speak, I will be at the disposal of the government." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
