Chapter 343 Enchanting

"this……"

Sheng Yelin was blocked by a word and couldn't get off the stage, his face couldn't help showing shame, he looked at Sheng Yeyun, who was sitting upright, could only bear the breath, and sat back in his seat boringly. .

  Now the prosperity of Shengfu depends on the third child, otherwise, why dare to move the century-old Wu family?

  Shengfu is one of dozens of prominent Chinese families in Batavia. It was originally ranked outside the 20th place and belonged to a family of merchants with medium and lower strength.

Now there is a leader of "Kapidan", and Sheng Yeyun is the baroned by His Majesty King William I of the Netherlands. The family has soared into the sky and faintly became the leader of the Chinese community. If the Dutch rule is still strong, let alone It can also be beautiful for decades.

The old **** Sheng Yeyun sat on the top of his head, looked at the gloomy second brother Sheng Yelin, and looked at the elder brother Sheng Yetian who was calm as an old dog, knowing that it would be okay to let him do things step by step and come up with ideas. Let's get rid of it.

   "What the second brother said, I think it is feasible."

  Sheng Yeyun slowly expressed the thoughts in his heart, Sheng Yelin immediately turned his anger into joy, Sheng Yeyun ignored him and continued;

   "The Wu family is indeed a century-old family, and it is also one of the top noble families in Batavia, but everyone is innocent and guilty.

Since I was appointed as "Jabidan", every Chinese chamber of commerce has stated that the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce, represented by the Wu family, is noble, but sent someone to give a gift. Patriarch Wu Qingshan avoided seeing him and deliberately alienated the Sheng family. .

  Now I use the Wu family to kill chickens and monkeys. Not only will Chashan hand it over to me, but also Wu’s plantation and grain and oil companies.

  Hmph...Now I am a taxpayer, working for the Governor's Mansion. This is the item of tax evasion. By recovering the shortfalls over the years, I can make Wu Jiaxian want to die, and give the family wealth with obedient hands. "

   "Wonderful, this method is good." Sheng Yelin applauded.

   "Either don't do it, or do it." Sheng Yeyun's elegant face was cold and frosty, and what he said made the atmosphere of the meeting hall cool by three minutes;

"There are many descendants of the Wu family rushing to Australia. It is said that they are doing well there. They think they have some back-ups. Therefore, they violated the governor's decree. They must use thunder methods to destroy the family that eats inside and out. ."

  Australia’s gold rush has continued for more than 30 years. Throughout Southeast Asia, many Chinese and overseas Chinese have gone to Australia to seek development opportunities, with tens of thousands of people.

  The wealthier and stronger Queensland develops, the stronger the siphon effect on the Chinese diaspora living in Southeast Asia.

  Of course, Chinese diaspora from the Dutch East Indies are indispensable.

Sheng Yeyun showed a fierce look on his face and directly ordered; "Second brother, you take a team of volunteers to seal the tea hill and plantation of the Wu family. If you have anything to do, let Wu Qingshan directly negotiate with me, you tell me He is now in an extraordinary period. You can choose a way to save money or save your life. I only give him ten days."

   "Okay...I'm going now." Sheng Yelin stood up excitedly and strode out of the chamber.

  The meeting hall is quiet

  Sheng Yeyun tasted the fragrant tea calmly, waiting for her eldest brother Sheng Yetian to ask questions.

as predicted

  Sheng Ye Tian held back for a while, and finally couldn’t help but persuade; “The third brother, now that he has suddenly risen to the top, it is necessary to take into account the sentiment of the Chinese ethnic group. Everything should not be too fierce, because things are not beautiful.”

   "Wind reviews? Hey... You can't use wind reviews as a meal."

"Although our ancestors have been merchants for generations, our ancestors have taught us to be friendly to the neighbors, to be kind to others, to work diligently, and to be humble. Brother, you are now very popular in front of the ghosts, but the ghosts are not the same as us. With the same heart, the Sheng family has been rooted in Batavia for 70 years. It is indispensable to be offended to help the Chinese prominent families."

"Big brother's words are wrong. I am the leader of "Kabidan". There are some prominent Chinese who are not convinced, but these idiots have forgotten who belongs to Batavia?" Sheng Yeyun gently put down the tea cup, his eyes were cruel. The color disappeared in a flash; “Don’t mention any stupid words about watching and helping each other. The Wu family is the target of my prestige. The Sheng family also needs the wealth of the Wu family for a hundred years to strengthen itself. This is the best of both worlds. After this incident, I think Who else would dare to disobey my will."

   "Since you have considered everything, just treat it as if I didn't say it."

   "Second brother is going to take over the Chashan plantation. The Wu family’s tea mountain is more than 100 kilometers away. Brother, you should also go with you. Bring more staff to check the accounts. Then I will settle the accounts with the Wu family."

   "Uh...well, I will take some of the tents in the tea house."

"Can."

  Sheng Yetian naturally looked forward to his third brother, and immediately got up and left after observing the arrangement, preparing to take over the accounts of Wu's tea mountain plantation and find out the black material for tax evasion.

  If you find this thing accurately, there will never be a mistake.

  Why do you say that?

  For more than two hundred years, Dutch colonists’ attitudes towards overseas Chinese have experienced ups and downs.

From the initial welcoming of Chinese immigrants to Batavia to start business and develop the economy, then later I was jealous of the wealth of Chinese immigrants, and feared that too many immigrants would shake the rule of the Dutch colonists, and finally contributed to the 1740 "Red Creek Massacre" ".

  It was a very dark history. The Dutch East Indies Company Governor’s Office promulgated a series of harsh laws restricting Chinese business and property ownership, with the purpose of excluding Chinese immigrants from the archipelago.

  As a result, the economy has regressed greatly, the urban and rural areas are barren, and all industries are dying. The local indigenous people are simply unable to support the entire trading system...

  Today

  These harsh old tax laws have long been no longer enforced, but they have not been explicitly abolished. Instead, the Chinese taxation system has been adopted.

  The Chinese leader is responsible for the collection of various taxes, from business tax, profit tax, head tax to carriage tax. The tax packager only needs to hand over a total tax amount to the Governor's Office.

The Dutch Governor’s Mansion is also no way, because there are too few people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It rules this huge East Indies area of ​​17,508 islands, with a population of tens of millions, and the total number of public officials in the Dutch colonial system is less than 2500. How can someone collect taxes in person?

Sheng Yeyun, as the leader of the Batavia Chinese "Kapitan", controls the power of tax packagers, and has the power to maintain law and order, interrogate and deal with criminals (excluding Dutch descendants), suppress rebellions, and promote urban business prosperity.

  Now that the power is in hand, he can do it. This is where Sheng Yeyun's confidence lies. He wants to use the old severe punishment and evil law as a sharp edge, and naturally there is no disadvantage.

   Killing chickens and monkeys, the person he chose is the wealthy Wu family. Having huge wealth without the power to protect it is the original sin. For the centuries-old Wu family, it is no less than catastrophe.

  Along with the new "Kabidan" upper position, in this eventful autumn, the city of Batavia will change and it will surely usher in a new round of reshuffle.

  Red River Valley, Australia

  Red Fort

  A fish-and-dragon dance overnight, and enjoy it till dawn.

  After getting up early in the morning

  Li Fushou took a bath and changed clothes according to his usual habit. He came out of the bathroom with wet hair, the fragrance of his body exuding the fragrance of the bath, and his face was white and red, making it more heroic.

  The European palace-style bed is covered with light gauze, and the curtain is heavy.

  The lazy-looking Mrs. Fiona saw him come out after taking a bath, she stood up and looked over, her beautiful big eyes flashed with inexplicable light; "My dear, you look really delicious!"

  "Delicious...Can I interpret this as a provocation. Who was begging for mercy last night?"

   "Hmm, if I can... I still want a daughter."

"Fiona, you're a really squeezing goblin." Li Fushou sat down on the side of the bed, took Fiona's weak and boneless waist and kissed her white forehead, carrying Said with a smile; "Don’t think about these things all day, you are still young, now you have little Charlie, you can have a lot of time to enjoy life, you can spend a lot of time with the high-ranking ladies. I heard that you are in the circle of ladies. I think it’s pretty good to run a reading salon."

   "Send the boring time, my dear, I would rather spend more time pestering you."

   "Hehe...well, I will spare more time to spend time with you in the future, this should be fine."

  Li Fushou replied unintentionally and stood up to leave.

Unexpectedly, his clothes were caught by Fiona, and she was unsteady and sat down again. Fiona's delicate body in thin silk was wrapped around like a beautiful snake, and said with a sorrowful voice; "My dear, You have only come here for half a month, and I am reluctant to leave."

   "Don't make trouble, there are still many things to do today!"

"Dear Lord Earl, you have endless things to do every day. Yesenia and Nicole have been here for more than two months. You haven't seen them yet, you know... They are the closest people to me. Woolen cloth!"

Yesenia is Fiona’s mother, and Nicole is her sister. After the death of the Earl of Normandy, the mother and daughter traveled across the oceans and came to Australia to seek refuge with Fiona. More than two months have passed since they arrived in the Red River Valley. .

"Oh...Look, let me forget it." Li Fushou suddenly realized, holding the warm and slippery body in his arms with both hands, he gently hit his **** and said; "Then I will take a moment to see you. Um...I'll be back early in the afternoon when the official business is over. You are here to inform us to hold a small dinner to welcome Mrs. Yesenia to the Red Fort for reunion. As for Nicole... Well, you can go to school with the children, and it will be arranged near the Red Fort. In the school..."

   "Oh, my Lord Earl, how old Nicole is still going to school, I'm really mad at you."

   "Uh... how old is she?"

"When I followed the Lord Earl, she was already 12 years old, and she is 17 years old this year. She is a very beautiful girl." Fiona swayed from left to right, weak, boneless and white. Li Fushou's rubbed ears were red and hot, and then the seductive red lips covered Li Fushou's ears, and he said with an aura; "Nicole has grown into a stunner who charms all living beings. If you like Lord Earl..."

  Unfinished words

Li Fushou had already turned over and threw him on the soft bed, and shouted with a straight eyebrow; "Shut up, you Western evildoer dare to mess with my Dao Xin, Dawei Tianlong is in a hurry, let's see how I accept you... "

  After speaking, I tore it open with big hands...

  Three dozen white bone spirits in spring, spring is boundless for a time, warm fragrance fills the room.
