After Sha Dacheng brought his own fleet to Songjiang Prefecture, because he was originally from Fujian, there were frequent activities in Jiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang. As soon as he came, he had Wang Tong's gunboat as a backer. There was no famous sea owner on the sea.

The sea is vast, but there are so many people in one area to eat. After the family eats, the rest are not eaten. Wang Tong and the Sha family are so powerful. If others want to have a meal, then ten will be destroyed. Everyone is very sensible. Fortunately, they don’t become pirates, and there are places where they make money. There are a lot of goods exported from Jiangnan through Songjiang Prefecture. Although Wang Tong and Sha Dacheng have many ships, and Mongolian merchants in Jiangnan are buying ships to build ships, this is far from enough. Pirates who are willing to be good will have a bite of food to transport goods, which makes a lot of money.

At this time, the benefits of Tianjin's custody rules are revealed. Anyone who wants to transport goods must receive a flag, hang a name, and have an insured person before they can carry it on the ground of Songjiang Prefecture.

In fact, this is an extra fee out of thin air. Many people who have recovered freely at sea are unwilling to be subject to this constraint. Instead, they hit it off with those merchants who are greedy for small gains. However, without guarantees and constraints, when they arrive at sea, nothing is hard to say.

After losing a lot of goods, the merchants finally got married. The Sanjiang Insurance Bank's fee was for everyone to reduce risks, not to peel off the skin.

Maritime trade is huge profits. If you transport a ship of sugar to Japan, you can make four times the profit at one time, and silk is more than three times the price. There are many rare goods that can even reach ten times. Japan has a wealth of gold and silver, and with this factor, the profit is even higher.

Now that goods can be exported in large quantities, it actually reduces the profit. Of course, the profit is indeed low, but the total amount is larger and more people make money, the benefits are even greater.

However, those who originally controlled the huge profits suffered losses. Since the 17th year of Wanli, these people have been behind the scenes of pirates who have made waves on the sea.

The pirates focused on the merchant ships going out of Songjiang Mansion and took action, and suffered a lot of losses for a while. The insurance bank gave away a lot of Ping An silver collected from Songjiang Mansion in the early stage and the silver collected from selling land, which was considered a draw.

Since there are such a bold pirate, Wang Tong will not be lenient. Sha Dacheng will lead a ship out to clear the enemy, either escorting or setting up a situation at the sea.

The result was quite unexpected. Although there were fewer attacks on such strict prevention, there were no gains at sea. The pirates were so smart. Wang Tong did not recognize that pirates had such great ability and could observe the situation. He quickly made a judgment that it was not enough to just clear the sea, and he had to start on land.

At this time, Liao Lang's ability was revealed. He was familiar with the rivers on the other side of the shore, and knew where to hide and whose nest was where. With the cooperation of Nanjing Jinyiwei, he swept through more than a dozen thief nests in succession. The market finally became peaceful... No one dared to mess around anymore.

After sweeping away the pirates, the entourage behind them were also pulled out one by one. What surprised Wang Tong was that some of these people were homes of officials and gentry, and some were still quite virtuous and respectful in the local area, but they did not expect that they were all powerful business figures at sea.

As for Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Ningbo Prefecture, Wang Tong was not helpless. He wrote a letter to Qianhu, a Jinyiwei stationed in Hangzhou, and a letter to the governor of Zhejiang. He understood the clues and other clues. Qianhu, the governor of Jinyiwei, was under his jurisdiction. If your governor does not want to help, we will see the truth in the capital. With this relationship, the people in Zhejiang who were lucky enough to be cleaned up.

After this incident, Wang Tong understood a little why after Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang and others wiped out the Japanese pirates in the southeast, so many people opposed the opening of the sea, and brought out various reasons for the openness or the blockage to support the continued ban on the sea. They carefully traced the root cause. Maybe they all had a relationship with the powerful family in Jiangnan. As long as the ban on the sea, the huge profits could be maintained. No wonder after the ban on the sea, the voices of opposition in the court were endless.

However, these tricks are useless in front of Wang Tong. Wang Tong's attitude towards such things is to not engage in any political disputes with you. He first uses superior force to clean you up, and then make conspiracies in the court.

After March of the 17th year of Wanli, people who were lucky or had other intentions had to admit that Songjiang opened an unstoppable port. In the future, goods from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, as well as those goods along the Yangtze River, if they want to trade at sea, they can only leave Songjiang.

Originally, many goods in Jiangxi and Huguang were used to go to Guangdong by land and then went to sea for trafficking. Now with the convenience of Songjiang Prefecture, they can all walk eastward along the Yangtze River, and then take the sea route to Songjiang Prefecture. To erase your gentle flowers, the route between Songjiang Prefecture and Nanyang was already open at the end of the 16th year of Wanli, and the exchanges were getting closer and closer. The massacre of the Han people in Luzon was spread to Songjiang Prefecture at the end of February of the 17th year of Wanli.

The businessmen who brought this news didn't think too much. They just thought that this fact was so embarrassing and worthy of sympathy. It was a bit heartbreaking and a topic of conversation. When we came back, we would just talk a few words and sigh and sympathize, but we still have to do business.

There are also one or two people with blood, that is, they should not do business with Spanish merchants. The two places where the Ming Dynasty opened, Folangji's statement gradually declined, and everyone can also distinguish between Portugal and Spain. There are no Spanish people in Songjiang Prefecture and Tianjin Wei.

People who come back from the sea have a rule in Songjiang Prefecture. When they come back to the clamp, in addition to counting the goods and paying taxes, they also have to roughly explain what they see and hear at sea and foreign ports.

Although this is not a good thing, it may be a good thing for businessmen to chat and drink tea with the officials of Songjiang Department. It is not a bad thing for the businessmen. It is also a relaxation. The people in charge of this work of Songjiang Department are all sent-ons set up by the Jinyiwei, and the news they get is reported.

In mid-March, Bai Wu had already arrived in Songjiang. Although he was blinded by hatred, he was not a fool. The "kind man" in Guangzhou said everything in such detail and gave him some money to travel, and he could realize that this was a way for him.

More than a month's journey from Guangzhou to Songjiang is enough, but Bai Wu was ill for a few days halfway through the journey because of his anger, and he used up all his money. The last journey was to beg for a while. When he arrived in Songjiang, he described his dressing as no different from a beggar.

The Liao Duke Mansion was very easy to inquire about. When he arrived here, he didn't dare to break in a random way when he saw the strict guard outside the door. He just walked twenty steps away and saw the guards coming to drive him away, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Please be the master of the Duke!!"

Hearing this, the guards in front of the Duke of Liao did not drive them away, but said impatiently: "Donald does not care about civil affairs. If you have any injustice, go to the county government office to complain. Otherwise, you will be able to go to the Nanjing Ministry of Justice to beat the drums, and you will also give you a clear explanation."

Since Wang Tong helped the Tongsheng and his son, more people have kowtowed and complained in front of the door. There have been many people from stole one from the neighbors to suspected that his wife had stolen men. Even the county government is too lazy to pay attention to this matter. Wang Tong had time and sent him away. Later, he was troubled and set rules. If he didn't leave, he would catch the yamen and beat him up before talking about it. This would be considered as driving the person away.

"Only the Duke of Liao can make the decision on the villain, and no one else can control it except him."

"Everyone says that, are you losing your aggression or your property being taken away by a traitor? Let's go to the county government to talk."

The guards could watch it as a joke at first, but later they watched it more and were deceived by the complainant several times. They were all out of patience and unwilling to continue talking nonsense.

"Several lieutenants, this is a big case of tens of thousands of lives. The county government does not dare to take care of it. If the young man goes to Guangzhou Navy to file a lawsuit, he will not dare to take care of it there!"

Bai Wu shouted at the top of his throat. The guards were about to take action, but they stopped hearing this. They knew a lot of outrageous grievances, but "ten thousand lives" was too shocking. Bai Wu kowtowed to the ground a few times, and blood immediately broke out on his forehead. This was also a means of determination. Moreover, among the guards, the mature guards could see a flame of hatred in Bai Wu's eyes. This was indeed the appearance of a person with deep hatred. Several guards looked at each other and stopped. One of the mature guards stepped forward and said, "Mr. Master is not in the mansion. You go back and rest first, and wait until the master comes back."

These words could not intimidate Bai Wu. He just kowtowed again and said, "The prince will not come back for a day, and the villain will not leave for a day."

After saying this, I thought the guards would be angry and angry, but I didn't expect that the guards looked at each other but ignored them.

In the next few days, no one drove him away. At night, someone took out a felt for him to cover him. Someone gave him food and drinking water, but he didn't let him kneel at the main entrance, so he was a little tilted. Someone also sent food and food to him, so he was kind enough to talk to him.

At first, Bai Wu didn't want to pay attention, but others were taking care of him and favors were quite good. He had a shortage of people to talk to for so many days, and he said everything.

He knelt at the door until the tenth day, and was really desperate because he had never seen the Duke of Liao enter and exit. Bai Wu thought to himself that this must be because the other party did not want to see or hide from him. He was discouraged and had no desire to live. Should he go to the capital? Bai Wu even wanted to kill him at this door.
