"What are you afraid of? Tell the brothers on the ship that you're ready to share the points. Besides, your old man has been like this all his life. Don't you want to touch women?" At this time.asked the musketeer with his eyes cocked.

"Look at the women here. Although they are small, they are all women. They can also vent fire." The musketeer with his eyes crooked urged.

"Do it. I did it." At this time the others arrived.

"Look at it. There are still brothers who can see it." He encouraged with crooked eyes.Others nodded when they saw someone participating.Naturally, no one wanted to let go of such an opportunity to make money.

"Bang. [Full text reading..] Bang. Bang." Gunshots rang out in the silent night.

"Boom." Then a cannon rang.A prominent thatched cottage not far away was blown up.

"Brothers, go ahead. Women, gold and silver, there are plenty of them." The squint-eyed musketeer shouted loudly.

"Kill." A group of musketeers with bayonets rushed in frantically, and the indigenous men who were suddenly attacked rose up to resist, but in the face of advanced weapons, their resistance was futile.

In order to prevent the natives from retaliating, the musketeers brutally killed all the men they could see.Even those babies, they don't let go, in their view, these are all burdens.After killing these people, they will frantically snatch things they think are valuable.

"Ah." The woman screamed continuously.They don't care about women screaming.Many of them have never even touched a woman's hand.In such a case, they don't care about it.

"Kill. Kill them all. Kill them all. Snatch all their women. And the gold and silver will be taken back by me." A one-eyed man shouted loudly.

"You are crazy. You are crazy." The businessman from Chu State who was standing beside him during the daytime shouted loudly.

"Don't yell at me," the one-eyed man yelled loudly.

"What do you think you are a good thing? You can exchange so much gold and silver with those rags, why can't I?" The one-eyed man shouted loudly.

"No matter what? If you can get rich, we can get rich too. Hahahaha." The one-eyed man waved the musket in his hand and laughed loudly.

But the businessman dared not speak out.Because the opponent might kill himself in such a bloody scene.However, the businessman still felt a little unbalanced. He managed to find a chance to make money during the day, but he didn't expect that at night, he would be wiped out by these robbers with muskets.This is really annoying.But the businessman thought about it.I earn almost as much.

In the distance, there were flames everywhere, and blood spattered.The woman kept screaming.And the musketeers with muskets kept shooting and killing.The blood stimulation made it difficult for these people to stop.

And in a Chu colony on the southeast coast, in the governor's private meeting room of the state capital, several local most powerful congressmen and the governor sat on the sand.

"It's important to invite everyone here today. But before that, how about I invite you to taste the tea from Chu State?" The governor stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for several congressmen.

"I said Mr. Tang. What does this mean? Everyone is so busy. There are so many things on the pier, how can you still be in the mood to drink tea?" A middle-aged man said dissatisfied.

"That's right, that's right, the cargo on the pier is almost too high. I'm still worried that I will run out of money." A man with a swollen face turned his head and said.Because the head is too big.So only the neck can't be seen at all.Several other congressmen wanted to laugh when they saw the appearance of this fat congressman.But they know it's very rude to laugh like this.So they all picked up the teacups in their hands and drank tea.

"Don't worry. How about a taste of this tea first?" At this time.The governor said patiently.

"Well, not bad." A member of parliament who finished drinking tea said.

"This tea is very fragrant. It's good tea. I'm afraid this kind of tea is very expensive." Another congressman wearing a golden ring put down the teacup in his hand with some reluctance. The tea in the cup had already been drunk.Only some tea leaves are left in it.

"No. It's not expensive at all." At this time.The governor said with a smile.

"If I say that this tea is not from Chu, but from us, everyone, what will you think?" At this time, the governor said with a smile.

"What?" The others were surprised when they heard this and spilled all the tea in their hands.

"This. This is impossible. This tea can only be found in Chu State. This. This is impossible." A member of the council said in disbelief.

"That's right. This tea is more expensive than gold. It's not something that ordinary people can use. It's something that only the nobles can use. My family fell down halfway, and it's been a long time since I drank it. Governor, how could this You can still make fun of us at this time." Mr. Tang said a little angrily at this time.

"No, no, no. I definitely don't mean that. I invite everyone to drink tea, so how about letting everyone taste the tea produced here?" At this time, the governor said with a smile.

"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the governor say that.

"This. Is this the tea we produce here?" A congressman stood up in surprise and asked.

"Yes. It's the tea we produce here. Last year, I invited a college student from the State of Qin to pay me [-] gold per month. Everyone opposed me at that time and said I was stupid. Now the result is here. Everyone thinks How is it?" the governor said with a smile.

"Oh. I said Governor, you are gone. Really. This tea is in great demand in the Central Plains countries. Especially Qin and South Korea. This thing is even more expensive. If this is really the case, we can sell the tea Sell ​​it to those places. My God." At this time, a congressman said with a smile.

"Yes, Governor, if you need anything, tell me Lao Huang." A congressman expressed his opinion.

"Well, if there is a chance, I think we can still discuss it." A businessman with his front teeth bared begged with a smile.

"Everyone, don't worry, let me finish my sentence." At this time, the governor waved his hand and said.

"This tea is grown on hilly mountains. Everyone knows that." The governor said at this time without haste.

"Oh." At this time, other members of the council were not very interested in hearing this.

"The price of this tea is very expensive. The demand for this tea is huge, and the opportunity to make money is right in front of everyone." Seeing that everyone was not interested, the governor said sharply.But so, other congressmen are still unwilling to continue.

The land development space of the colony is very narrow, which is the coastal plain.The exhibition space is very narrow.With the increasing number of immigrants.The food problem is still prominent, not only that, but trade has also begun to enter a state of deficit. This is also the problem that many congressmen present have raised the issue of difficult capital turnover. The colony only has a narrow and long plain area, but the population is increasing, and the food output is simply not enough. It can only be imported from Chu State, not only that, but other daily necessities are also needed.For example, iron, livestock, and the escalation of conflicts with the aborigines will require more money to buy weapons, and the trade of aboriginals is also decreasing. As a result, everyone's situation is not good.That's why the governor came up with the idea of ​​planting tea. The depth of the coastal plain is the hilly area, which is suitable for planting tea. This is also the case, according to the transplanting technology passed down from Qin State.Tea leaves were quickly grown.As long as the conditions are right, this is a great fortune. This is a business opportunity. However, the hilly areas are controlled by the indigenous people, while the colonial Chu people only have a small amount of hilly areas, and the rest are all plains. There were invasions before. Something happened to the natives of the Hill Country, but unfortunately they failed.Their losses are great.This made them dare not go on like this.

"My idea is to discuss the purchase with the indigenous people. We can buy land from the indigenous people. We can give them some benefits, even if it is a lease. In this way, we can sell tea. With tea, everyone There is a chance to make money." The governor said.

"This, this, what if it doesn't work?" A congressman asked at this time.

"Not all the aborigines are willing to fight with us. There are also aboriginals who cooperate with us. Some aborigines are still trading with us. They need our food, weapons, and other things. We can get these things from Chu The state, the things obtained from Qin State, and the land, this is the foundation, this is the foundation of my colony expansion, land, land." The governor said a little excitedly.

Other members of parliament heard this at this time, you look at me, I look at you, everyone has their own plans.They know that if they want to make a profit, they have to pay. The question is how to pay the money, how much to pay, and how much they can get if they pay more.

"Can this land be bought back?" A congressman finally asked.

"It should be possible. Those lands are not of much use at all? The indigenous people, maybe, should give them to us." The governor said firmly.

"Oh." The congressman nodded.

"It's just, what should we do after the land is bought back? How will the money be paid? Will everyone have to pay taxes?" A thin and small member of parliament asked at this time.

"Well, I thought about it. Everyone is in difficulty at this time, and they must not be able to spend a lot of money. I thought, how about this?" The governor thought for a while and said.

"We have paid next year's tax. We will collect it on the basis of this year's [-]% tax reduction." The governor said.

"This." The other councilors were conflicted when they heard such a plan at this time.Although the taxes have to be paid sooner or later, they are still a little reluctant to pay so much all at once. However, the [-]% less income is quite a lot.This is a good deal for them.They still want to take advantage of such a cheap price.

"Can it be less? How about [-]%?" A member of Parliament went on to say.

"No. [-]% is already a lot. If it doesn't work, I will submit this plan to the parliament tomorrow. By then, there may be more people than this." The governor said with a straight face.

"Ten percent, not a lot. Isn't that right?" A congressman said with a smile.

"Just [-]%." Other members of the council said.
