Wang Hai came to seek refuge sincerely, and of course he would not be dissatisfied with Ma Ang’s request. He simply comforted his sailors and got on the flywheel warship alone.

Although he was very worried and had a lot of expectations, after getting on the boat, he still couldn't help but look around. It was not that he was not steady enough, but that the magic of this boat was amazing, so it was so amazing that he couldn't control himself.

The mystery of the flywheel warship is invisible on the surface, and Wang Hai’s mind is not entirely placed on it. After all, his main purpose of coming here is to surrender, rather than satisfying his curiosity.

He looked around and wanted to observe the person he was about to face, but what disappointed him was that except for some people dressed by sailors, the others were dressed a little weird, and they couldn't tell which one was in charge, and they couldn't find the most majestic boy he wanted to meet.

"You are the one who surrenders?" A lazy voice interrupted his thoughts. Wang Hai looked up and saw a man with a little scholarly and slightly dark skin asking him.

"The villain Wang Hai is the owner of the Shanhai and the Sea of ​​Commerce. This time he admired the reputation of the champion Marquis, and turned to the darkness and turned to the light. I dare to ask the adults..." Ma Ang was not very old. In the eyes of Wang Hai, who was nearly fifty years old, he could barely be called a young man. In addition, the rumors were mostly distorted, so he could not determine the other party's identity for the time being.

Ma Ang was originally basking in the sun on the beach, and he was dressed casually. He was fine with his upper body, but a sweatshirt with his arms open. However, it was designed by Xie Hong himself. It was very common in later generations, but it seemed out of place in this era. This is one of the reasons why Wang Hai was not sure of his identity.

"I am going to visit Ma Ang, the governor of the Japanese, Shanhai Commercial Bank... Well? Isn't it the first one to come this year. After the naval battle, you also escaped the fastest. Even my marquis praised you for seeing things quickly. What's going on now?"

Ma Ang was not from a polite family. After staying at the sea for a while, he became even more accomplicated. At this time, he did not look at the seat and made a statement. Instead, it was because of Wang Hai's identity that aroused his curiosity, so he immediately questioned it.

"The Marquis's reputation is so great that everyone knows. The villain also heard that the Marquis was shocked by it in front of him. He was confused for a moment and then fled in panic. He deserved to die." Wang Hai first blamed himself with heartache, and then without waiting for Ma Ang to ask again, he told everything in detail.

"After leaving Nagasaki, the villain also woke up and regretted the actions of the day. However, the matter had been done, the villain was frightened and did not dare to return for a while. He just wandered... It was thought that the ancestors of the Wang family appeared and recently taught the villain to meet several people who escaped from Nagasaki in Satsuma Country. After learning about this situation, the villain suddenly woke up and came here to join us."

Wang Hai immediately knelt down and cried: "The villain was also lard that day, and then he did such a traitor. Today, I am willing to receive the punishment. But please remember that the villain has a sincere heart and a life, so that he can do his best for the marquis."

After saying that, he kowtowed repeatedly, with such a strong force that even the deck was a little trembling. From this perspective alone, he was indeed very sincere.

Damn, something unexpected happened again. Ma Ang pinched his chin and felt a little hesitant.

How to deal with the maritime merchants in Nagasaki was explained by Xie Hong before leaving, but it was just a general idea. Xie Hong is not a god, and the specific details need to be grasped by Ma Ang himself. There were some minor accidents in those days, but the impact was not great, and Ma Ang handled them properly.

But today's matter is a bit troublesome, and Brother Xie has not explained this situation at all? Ma Ang was worried. It is said that having an undercover agent is a good thing. When Zhou Gongjin burned the Red Cliff, wouldn't he send an undercover agent to Cao's camp? But this thing is also a double-edged sword. If he encounters a counter-essay or even dies, he may suffer a loss.

After looking at Wang Hai hard, Ma Ang couldn't see anything unusual in the other party's expression. His bronze face, strong body, and thick knuckles, looked like an old sailor, and he didn't look like a person who could make tricks.

But after hearing his words, this long speech was almost no less eloquent than his talkative words. Even a businessman was a bit strange, right?

How to deal with it? If you pass it at will, or just refuse, or ask him not to make such trouble, and follow the rules of the people in Nagasaki?

Alas, if I had known, I wouldn't have done this Governor's job. It would be easy to speak on my own, but when I couldn't ask for instructions, I was really blind! Ma Ang was very stressed and didn't know how Brother Xie made the decision in the past. He was easy every time and never made any mistakes.

"Shopkeeper Wang, since you know everything about Nagasaki, what's the case with me? My marquis has always been convinced by virtue. Undercover agents are too strange and will inevitably hurt the world. Let's do it with dignity." Resisting the urge to grab the scalp, Ma Ang chose the safest way.

"But... sir, sir, sir..."

Wang Hai's words were prepared on the road. He was also a rough man. He was not very good at speaking in a very literary way. He didn't hear the inconvenience in Ma Ang's words. He was just anxious. The weather was hot. In just a blink of an eye, his head was covered with sweat, and even the deck under him was wet.

As he discussed with his second son, he planned to be an undercover agent, but there were actually two considerations: one was to protect his family, and the other was to make great contributions. If he was like those of Nagasaki, both ends would be lost, so how could he be willing?

You know, his capital is richer than those people, and the Shanhai Commercial Bank's fleet has more than a dozen large ships! In desperation, he was even unreserved. This time, he even said the considerations in his heart.

"...Sir, the Jiangnan family is not a solid piece of the same. However, in front of a big family like Wang Xie, others can only be timid, otherwise there will inevitably be unexpected disasters. As far as villains know, like villains, the Wang family has at least five or six teams, and they often do some unsuccessful business."

"Now, the Marquis has been on the sea route. There is no time for Jiangnan to do anything this year, but if it comes next year, it is hard to guarantee that they will not do anything... The Marquis is wise and powerful, and of course he will not take advantage of it. However, the Marquis cannot be there all the time. If there is a villain here, at least there can be a message to reduce some losses and accidents. Sir, what do you think?"

No matter how strong the other party is, Ma Ang is not very worried. The brothers Xie have already planned to expand by next year. Even if the other party makes a big move, they are on an expedition, but they are waiting for their own efforts. With a flywheel warship, how can they be invincible?

Therefore, Wang Hai's initial hint did not affect Ma Ang, but his subsequent words came to Ma Ang's heart.

It’s really hard to make decisions by yourself after leaving Brother Xie! I must talk to my younger sister next year and ask Brother Xie to find someone to replace me...

Of course, this matter is quite far away and cannot solve the current problem. If there is an undercover agent and Brother Xie is away, it will be easier for me to deal with it here, but...

"Shopkeeper Wang, you also said that your family is in the Wang family. If your identity is revealed or the Wang family threatens your family, how can I guarantee your loyalty?" Ma Ang raised his concerns.

"This..." Wang Haiyu was silly, and the common methods in the operas such as the letter of fame and loyalty, he had calculated them one by one in his mind, but they were not realistic in fact. Even if he conveyed the Wang family's intelligence now, it was actually impossible to guarantee that it would be perfect.

When he hesitated, Ma Ang believed it a little. If he had deliberately counter-opportunistic plans, whether it was successful or not, at least these words must be prepared, at least they were all the routines in the comments.

However, if you believe it all, it would not be appropriate. Ma Ang was a little hesitant. How should he arrange this person?

"Master Ma, actually... since you have this person, what the Marquis said before can be done in advance." Ma Ang's authority, Lu Renyi, didn't think so much in his mind, but he ended up with a bystander, and he whispered.

"Hmm? You mean..." Ma Ang's eyes lit up.

"It's the matter that the Marquis explained to us for a long time last time." Lu Renyi nodded.

"Yes, it's worthy of being Brother Lu, haha, let's do it like this." Ma Ang smiled and said in a relaxed voice: "Shopkeeper Wang, get up and talk. I know your sincerity. I don't have to hurry to inform you. Now there is another thing left to you to do..."

"Sir, just give orders." Wang Hai did not stand up, knelt on the ground and clasped his fists, and said firmly: "But the villain should kill the escaped merchants and then keep the news from leaking? The few who escaped from Nagasaki were in the villain fleet, and with just a command, they could be taken down. Those who had already set out on the road will try their best to chase and kill them, and make sure not to let one of them go."

Although he was a little suspicious about Xie Hong's easy release, Wang Hai thought that he would not leak the news and pursue the old companions, it should be considered a confession.

"Not only those who left first, but even those in your fleet, you just take them back to Jiangnan." Ma Ang waved his hand and smiled: "The news here does not need to be kept confidential, but also needs to be widely publicized. The wider it spreads, the better."

"Ah?" Wang Hai was stunned.

"The previous news doesn't work for you. I'm still a little fresh here. I'll tell you now. After returning to Jiangnan, you can find a way to spread it. This is your first task." Ma Ang said on his own, not thinking of Wang Hai's disobedience.

"Please give me the order." Wang Hai was also a ruthless man who had been storms for a long time. After being shocked, he quickly came back to his senses and concentrated on listening to Ma Ang's words.

"Actually, it's simple. It's the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade policy in the East China Sea starting next year... Of course, it's just the East China Sea now. In two years, this policy will be promoted throughout the world. If you return to Jiangnan, you will promote it. The wider the better, the more detailed the better."

The two words "Maritime Trade... Policy?" are combined together and a bit twisted. Wang Hai adapted for a while before repeating them smoothly.

He was also surprised that the marquis's attitude this year was obviously to completely block the sea. Could it be that he wanted to intimidate others? But with those who had left before, the effect of intimidation was already very sufficient?

"Actually, the policy is very simple. The maritime trade can continue next year. However, before Japan conducts trade, it must go to the Five Islands, which is Fugui Island. It will be called Five Islands in the future." Ma Ang explained a little and continued: "That is, to come to the Governor's Office to report and pay taxes. If you do this, you will be regarded as a legal merchant and can trade in Japan and North Korea. Otherwise, you will go to Si merchants. The direct fleet of the Governor's Office will crack down on it severely. Do you understand?"

"The villain understands." Wang Hai answered very happily.

He didn't understand the new nouns such as the Governor's Office for a while, but if he put aside those nouns, the meaning in this statement was simple. It was nothing more than the rule that the Marquis had set up. If he wanted to do business at sea in the future, he had to follow the rules of the Marquis.

To put it bluntly, it means buying money, and the one that is not bad is a name. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor has no choice but to agree to what the champion Marquis said. The rules he set can be understood as imperial edicts.

"The tax rate is not high, it is only 50% of the profits of each company." Ma Ang stretched out one hand and opened his five fingers to compare.

"Yes..." This time, Wang Hai hesitated a little. 50% is not high?

Well, it is not high compared to the destruction of a ship or being robbed, but isn’t the sea merchants traveling across the ocean through life and death for huge profits? Half of them were cut off this time, which is really hurt.

Wang Hai didn't think too much. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to surrender here, his position had changed, and it was not his own business. He just muttered a few words in his heart, without refuting or defending.

"On the surface, the tax is indeed a bit high, but it doesn't matter. The policies set by the Marquis are very popular and there are various reductions and exemptions." Wang Hai reluctantly agreed, and Ma Ang also saw it. He smiled slightly and began to explain the subsequent policies.

"My marquis has always advocated order, and what he values ​​most is the order of registration and tax payment. Therefore, the first thing is the order of registration. Anyone who registers for tax payments in Zhengde for three years can be reduced to 35%; what is 40% in Zhengde for four years; if it is too late, I'm sorry, as much as it should be."

"...In addition, the tax rates of various commodities are also different. Of course, this is a later story. It will only be implemented after the policy is fully rolled out. Now it is just a matter of your mind."

"Half Hou is wise." Wang Hai nodded. Although the difference is only 10%, the actual difference is quite large, and it can also reflect the sincerity of the taxpayer, which is in line with the style of champion Hou Yichang.

What he said to Ma Ang was not alarmist. Jiangnan suffered such a big loss and could not give up. Next year, 80% of them would be in a battle of dragons and tigers. At this time, the surrender was enough to reflect sincerity.

"My marquis has always been convinced by virtue. Those who are confused for a while and cannot make up their minds have also left them a way, and it is a bright road..."

"Please make it clear." Wang Hai was also interested. What else is more important than acting according to the rules?

Ma Ang smiled and said leisurely: "That is to ask the officials in the family to submit a letter to the capital, count the damage to the sea ban, and ask the court to lift the sea ban."

"Ah!" Wang Hai was shocked, and then he suddenly realized that this was the most sincere expression. You can tell from Wang Shouren's situation. If you submit such a memorial, you will completely break with your fellow Jiangnan, and there is no possibility of easing.

"The first person who has been listed on the table can enjoy a three-exempt and two-half discount. The other person who follows the trend is a 20% tax rate... Wang Baihu, as long as the news spreads throughout Jiangnan, I will recognize your identity."

"Just keep your mind safe, villains will die if they are to be killed."!
