Even if the merchants of the Ming Dynasty take action first and want to rob the merchant ships of foreigners, there is nothing to say. Everyone depends on their own abilities. You can't just allow foreigners to rob the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

In the parliament hall, it became quiet. Wang Qiongian waited for a moment before asking questions again, and then said: "If you don't have any other questions, I will leave first."

The congressman nodded and asked questions. Wang Qionian turned around and left.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining elected officials entered one after another and presented their proposals. However, compared with those of Wang Qionian and Fan Fucui, their proposals were not even the slightest bit different. They were simply meaningless.

When the last elected official withdrew, Yue Su stood up, walked to the wooden platform, and said loudly to everyone: "Now that the ten candidate officials have finished their presentations, in the following time, all members can study on their own.

Who should I choose? Wait for one stick of incense and start voting. Now light the incense. You can do your own research."

After Yue Su finished speaking, a Forbidden Army soldier lit a stick of incense and placed it on the table on the wooden platform. Yue Su returned to his seat in the council and began to discuss it.

This group of people also divides into groups to discuss. Anyone who has friendship with whom will get together and whisper to each other. Although they are all people with status, here, in order to prevent them from hearing, they can only do this.

A stick of incense passed quickly. Yue Su walked up to the wooden platform again and said loudly: "The time has come. The voting has begun. Everyone has pens and papers on their desks. Write the names of the people you want to elect and sign them.

Write your name, I remind you again, if you don’t write your name, you will be treated as a waiver.”

"Master Yue, can you wait a moment? I have something to say." As soon as Yue Su finished speaking, Li Wenzhang suddenly stood up. Although he is Master Yue's father-in-law, in front of official business, business must be done.

"Before voting, all members have the right to express their opinions, but each person only has one chance to speak. Uncle Li, if you have anything to say, just say it," Yue Su said

"Ahem..." Li Wenzhang cleared his throat, glanced around, and said loudly: "Just now, our five businessmen council discussed with each other and decided to support Mr. Wang Qiaonian because we think Mr. Wang's words are very reasonable.

, Nowadays, sea trade is popular, and foreign merchants all have weapons. Only the merchants of Ming Dynasty go to sea to do business without weapons. Sometimes, they suffer a lot. Hiring troops from the court is also a way, but the size of the ships is limited, and a large number of people are hired.

The imperial army cannot carry enough sailors and workers, so renting weapons and training from the imperial court is more suitable for us merchants. Of course, what Mr. Zhuge said just now is also very reasonable. The imperial court provides us with convenience, but we merchants

Among them, it is inevitable that there will be profit-seeking scum. So, we five businessmen and councilors came up with a way, which may be able to help the court solve this problem. Our way is to set up a chamber of commerce organization led by the five of us. Anyone who joins our chamber of commerce will

Merchant, our Chamber of Commerce is willing to guarantee for him that after renting weapons from the imperial court, he will never violate the law. If a merchant in the chamber of commerce does not respect the royal law, our chamber of commerce will hand over the person to the imperial court for disposal as soon as possible without the imperial court taking action.

If the person who is obtained by the court first proves to be a member of our chamber of commerce, we are willing to be sued. Not only that, our chamber of commerce will also make a promise. If there are merchants who are not in our chamber of commerce, smuggling and the government and the army, we can guarantee that

Within a year, we will find the person and hand him over to the imperial court."

“What a loud tone”

As soon as Li Wenzhang finished speaking, before he could sit down, a man named Jiang Yueguang stood up. He was a die-hard member of the Donglin Party and a very talented man. When Yue Su asked all parties to submit their lists, he had suggested

Han Xu reported the list of Donglin Party members, but unfortunately he was opposed by Han Xu and a large number of Donglin Party members. In the end, he was so angry that he could no longer get on the stage. After Han Xu stepped down, the three-party situation in the cabinet was born. Donglin Party members

I am very regretful. Some of them have already quit the Donglin Party and switched to other parties. During this election, the Donglin Party members, with Jiang Yueguang as their leader, finally managed to get him into the parliament.

Jiang Yueguang stood up and said loudly: "Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, merchants are at the bottom of the four peoples. Once a merchant rents weapons from the imperial court, he breaks the law and violates the prohibition. He goes ashore in an unopened port, encounters an official army, and sinks a navy warship.

, to kill the tutor, the court may not be able to find someone in a short time. Why do you businessmen have such a big tone? I do not support Mr. Wang’s proposal. Relatively speaking, I still agree with Mr. Fan.

The proposal is quite satisfactory and very sound” (to be continued)
