    With scriptures in one hand, a sword in the other, and aphrodisiac as an aid, Li Yanqing believed that in this era, it would not be a problem to rely on the White Lotus Sect to defeat the Catholic Church.  After things were settled on Wufeng Island, Li Yanqing boarded the ship and set off back to Guangzhou after an absurd night.  His contribution this time can be said to be of great magnitude. He eliminated one of the three stubborn diseases of the Ming Dynasty, including the White Lotus among the Japanese and the North.  After the report was polished by Zhang Ruolan, this great achievement became a miraculous achievement that the dynasty had not achieved in a hundred years.  Under the wise leadership of Wu Guifang and the unified arrangements of Liu Chaozuo, our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty sacrificed their lives and the three armies fought bravely. They killed 400,000 white lotus thieves. Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed in the oars, and the color of the sea water changed.  Ruinstein defeated Sun Wudi, the leader of Ge Bailian, Yu Dayou killed Bailian's left envoy Wu Weizi, and Li Tianliang killed his right envoy Mulinsen.  The White Lotus Demon Sect disappeared into thin air, and all its followers were killed.  Unfortunately, the road is dangerous and it is inconvenient to show off.  In addition, a lot of equipment, especially the Wansheng Thunderbolt Spear, has been lost, so it is important for the court to hurry up and make up for it.  "I also present a set of special seals for the leader of the White Lotus Sect, a number of White Lotus Sect utensils, swords, guns, weapons, and some treasures and property.  This time we had a good harvest on Wufeng Island. The amount of silver bars from Shijian Yinshan alone was about 40,000 taels.  Li Yanqing took 4,000 taels and handed them over to the court, 8,000 taels as a reward, and the rest went into his pocket.  As for the other savings in the holy treasury, they were carried on trucks, and it took four boats before and after them to clear them all.  Shi Aoshuang needs funds to rebuild Bailian and to open a mountain in Nanyang.  Li Yanqing promised to provide full financial support, but he plundered all the savings of the White Lotus Sect over the years.  Just according to Shi Aoshuang's request for payment, the payment was given at a 20% discount, and the rest of the money was in his hands.  As needed for war preparation.  The Spaniards are quite quiet right now, but Alfonso has always paid attention to the importance of intelligence warfare.  Mobilize all your spies to find out the news.  As a result, the whole of Guangzhou became busy with food and weapons in Spanish warehouses.  All were replaced by silk, tea, and finally became the private income of those spies.  Li Yanqing, on his side, focused all his attention on the gold mine of Shibosi.  Now more and more businessmen are arriving in Guangdong, and everyone's eyes are fixed on Chuan Yin and Guangdong's salt.  Li Yanqing, who was in charge of the salt industry and the shipping department, had the two largest financial resources in Guangdong, so he naturally became the target of these businessmen.  The bow can be seen as three parts.  The first part is the senior officials and middle-ranking officials among the nobles and civil servants.  These people carve up most of Funakiri and are also the major shareholders of the East India Company, so they can enjoy the most benefits.  Whether it's a ship-guided red slip or a sea-going ship.  Prioritize serving them.  The second part is those wealthy businessmen.  These people all have imperial backgrounds, and after many twists and turns, they were able to find connections in the capital in the end. This is also a power that is not to be underestimated.  The third part is the second-class businessmen. They have the largest number of people, but have the fewest quotas to allocate, and the competition is extremely fierce.  When Li Yanqing went out to socialize, he was inevitably tested by alcohol.  Promote the prestige of our country.  These businessmen also felt good about themselves. I heard that Mr. Liu had brought many tributes from various countries from the capital. Now he was in charge of military preparation, and he was most worried about insufficient military pay.  He offered to buy those tributes.  Li Yanqing was a generous man, and the sappan wood and pepper from Zheng He's era were considered antiques no matter how you looked at them.  But he considered the suffering of the people.  It is not easy for a businessman to sell all these things at market prices.  The moved businessman burst into tears and kept greeting his eight generations of ancestors.  Others have heard that Mr. Liu strictly collects business taxes when the market opens.  I had no choice but to endure the pain and voluntarily agree to pay taxes.  Seeing that these tax-paying merchants always had priority in getting shipping guides, other merchants gradually became enlightened and expressed their willingness to pay taxes. The banknote tariff cards in Xiangshan were revived and regained their former vitality.  There were also smart businessmen who, after seeing the situation in Guangzhou, without saying a word, immediately borrowed a sum of money and brought shiploads of rice from Zhejiang to provide rations for the army.  Not only can this merchant who transports grain get a boat guide, but his sea-going ships are also stronger than others, and he can get discounts on buying and selling goods.  Others followed suit. Grain prices throughout Guangzhou dropped again and again, causing local grain merchants to vomit blood.  Li Yanqing¡¯s original intention was to release water to raise fish. Now when Zhang Juzheng is still recruiting people at Lishantou, tax collection cannot be done too hastily, lest he forces all the civil servants to Gao Gong¡¯s side.  Anyway, as long as they taste the benefits of opening the sea, they will stick to the maritime trade business. At the critical moment, they will give him a ticket or detain a few ships, so they will not be afraid of not getting tax money. ?????????????????????? But with the trend of collecting taxes and extracting points, even those noble families came to the door and expressed their willingness to pay taxes.  The tax amount of thirty-one tax is not high in itself. For such a small amount of money, if the friendship with Mr. Liu is ruined, it will not be worth it.  In particular, the person in charge assigned here by each family is most afraid that he will offend Mr. Liu, and will have his position removed with just a letter.  This is a treasure land with benefits of tens of thousands of taels a year, which is far more than a little tax.  As for the Zhongguan, it is?Feng Bao's instruction, he paid taxes more diligently than anyone else.  This tax money is nothing more than transferring from Tianjia's left pocket to his right pocket, so why should I mess with this matter.  That Zhong Deyong, Eunuch Zhong, also understood the situation and did not dare to take advantage of Li Yanqing. He only acted as a yes man in everything. The two of them cooperated very happily.  It's just that Zhong De always holds a family banquet every three days to invite Mr. Liu to be his guest, and the drinking lasts all night long.  His wives also became more and more dazzling, which made the women of the Li family quite dissatisfied.  More than three months have passed, and Li Yanqing has been living a very carefree life.  In the Yamen of the Shipping Department, Zhong Deyong sweated profusely and explained to the merchants who were waiting to get the ship's lure: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu has the final say in these matters, and it's useless for you to kill me."  "Ah." In the back garden, Li Yanqing was lying proudly on the rocking chair with his eyes half closed. Qingyun Nuanxue fanned him on the left and right, and Liu Yeqing threw the grapes into the sky and opened his mouth to catch them one by one.  In the end, the grape skins were spat everywhere.  His legs were crossed in a very graceless manner, and his toes were dangling proudly.  Yuan Xueyi gently put the peeled grapes into her husband's mouth.  Li Yanqing didn't open his eyes, rolled the grapes with his tongue, and then licked her fingers, making her blush with embarrassment.  Not far away, Zhen'er's cheerful laughter and the voice of "foreign aunt is so nice" came. Li Yanqing opened his eyes and said: "I didn't expect that this foreign woman Christine got along very well with our little cutie.  I thought Zhen'er would be afraid of her." Zhang Ruolan over there raised her hand and patted Liu Yeqing's leg. "Although you are in the inner house, you still have some rules." Then she said to Li Yanqing, "Zhen'er is such a cute child.  , Who wouldn¡¯t love her after seeing her? But this foreign woman is dressed sosoin short, she is not a good person." Nuanxue said: "Miss, we also have her evening dress." "We will wear it together tonight.  , Guaranteed to be prettier than a foreign woman." "When the time comes, we will be favored by my husband, and he will be happy." Zhang Ruolan's face turned red with anger. "If you talk nonsense again, I will tear you two apart.  After giving birth, you should come and take care of me. Aunt Qin and Zi Shi are both pregnant. Keep an eye on me. If anything goes wrong, I won¡¯t teach you a lesson." After she drove away the girls, she suddenly  She blushed and said, "If my husband really likes those Western dresses, I'll wear them at night at most. You haven't been here for four days, and by the way, you slept at Shui Linglong's place the other day. Don't think that I don't know about you.  What's so great about her? She's not as beautiful as a few girls, but she lets you pamper her so much. What's so great about her? You have to sleep with me today. " Li Yanqing said with a smile: "My Ruolan is jealous.  , Good lady, don't worry, I will definitely sleep with you today, even if you use a big stick to drive her away." Just when he was about to have a close relationship with Zhang Ruolan, Hua Xixiang suddenly walked in quickly,  "Mr. Sir, a messenger from Spain has come, saying that he wants to negotiate with you." Li Yanqing shook his head and said, "It seems that our comfortable days are coming to an end, and the Spaniards still come to our door." Zhang Ruolan was thinking: Most likely today  In the evening, it was the foreign woman and Hong Simei who were favored. Once the war started, these two were inseparable arms. If you didn't win over them, who would you win over?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
