Chapter 701: City Ship Department
Kyogoku Yuki's eyes flashed for a moment, and she lowered her head slightly and began to ponder.
Just as she expected, Wu Nian survived the drought and the locust plague. And she also won further favor from Wu Nian because she brought help and food in the snow.
Wu Nian lived up to his expectations and quickly defeated Wang Zhongbi, captured Nanhai Prefecture, occupied the three prefectures, and even led Wei Ru into Haitian County.
The forces of General Fu Han have reached the four prefectures.
Wu Nian is her favorite hero.
Kyogoku Yuki thought of this, raised his head slightly, looked at the lower half of Wu Nian's face in a polite manner, bowed with a low eyebrow and said: "General, as far as I know, the Fu Han General's Mansion was created on the spot, so there are different
The system is not perfect."
"There is no shipping company among them."
Wu Nian felt very comfortable with Kyogoku Yuki's attitude. He wondered if all Fuso women were so submissive.
Immediately, Wu young man lowered his head gently and muttered, "Shibo Division."
Kyogoku Yuki is right.
The State of Chu had a shipping department.
This is an yamen specializing in foreign trade. It has the functions of collecting commercial taxes and extracting goods. For example, for bulk commodities, the Shipping Department has the right to look at the name of the goods and extract 10% or even 20% of the goods.
as tax.
Generally, sea trade is large-scale. No merchant would control a small ship and carry out sea trade with just a few goods.
Only goods that are not required by the Shipping Department are allowed to be bought and sold privately. Otherwise, if they do not go through the Shipping Department, it is smuggling.
will be severely punished.
To put it simply, it is the customs, responsible for customs duties.
In Wu Nian's previous life, if he bought a foreign brand car, he had to pay an astonishing amount of tariffs.
And no matter where you are, in any era, there is such a thing as smuggling.
The salt and iron franchise involves smuggling. The customs also engages in smuggling. Whether the smuggling situation is severe or not depends entirely on whether the government can crack down hard enough.
For example, smuggling in the Chu State was very serious. The shipping company was shrinking day by day, causing the Chu State to lose a lot of tax revenue. The wealthy businessmen were extremely rich.
All the money went to the businessman.
In Liaodong.
Prior to this, Fuhan General Yamen only had a simple organization responsible for customs duties and smuggling. It was not uncommon.
Because it is difficult to prevent smuggling. Li Tianbao's navy has only been established recently.
Second, Nanhai Prefecture is also close to the sea and was conquered by him recently. If the Municipal Shipping Department was set up at that time to forcibly collect taxes and goods from maritime merchants, I am afraid that maritime merchants would go to Nanhai Prefecture to land.
But the situation is different now.
Li Tianbao's Wanhu Navy already has combat effectiveness. The Municipal Shipping Department was established to cooperate with the navy, and then equipped with an anti-smuggling army under the Municipal Shipping Department.
Defenses were deployed along Nanhai Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture, and all merchants who did not pay taxes were hanged.
Collect all taxes.
Shibo Division. In fact, it is the same as Liu Zhixing's re-measurement of land, uncovering hidden fields, and making large households pay taxes again.
Just one is for the common people and landlords, and the other is for maritime merchants.
You have to pay what is due.
If you don't pay, I'll hang you.
Of course it is profitable, but the problem is also huge.
First of all, the market in Liaodong is not big. His subordinates only control three prefectures. Even if they search everywhere, they can't make much money.
Now he is going to recruit six soldiers from ten thousand households and provide food and salary to eighteen thousand households.
Furthermore, even if maritime merchants did not land from Nanhae Prefecture or Guangcheon Prefecture, they could still land from Goguryeo and then smuggle.
On the contrary, when he set up a municipal shipping department, he needed to develop a large bureaucracy and pay a lot of management costs.
The effect is slow, and water from afar cannot save the fire that is near.
but.
In the long run, sooner or later, it will sweep across the five prefectures and 32 counties in Liaodong. The market will also expand accordingly. It is also good to establish a shipping department now to make plans for the future and increase a little income by the way.
"Miss Kyogoku is right. It's time for me to establish a shipping department." Wu young man nodded lightly and said to Kyogoku Yukiri.
As a maritime merchant, Kyogoku Yuki was able to make suggestions for him to establish a shipping department.
She really "turned her elbows out".
Wu Nian's original intention was to let Kyogoku Yuki come up with ideas to see if there was any profitable business and take him with him.
But in the end.
Power gives rise to money. At present, it seems that the most profitable business is the shipping company.
Seeing that her opinion was adopted by Wu Nian, Kyogoku Yuki showed a little joy in her eyebrows. But she didn't just want to give her opinion. After considering her tone, she bowed and said cautiously: "General, please forgive me for being presumptuous.
.Are you very short of money?"
"I, the Kyogoku family, are willing to contribute fifty thousand taels of silver."
Wu Nian was speechless about this.
From the first time they met, this girl wanted to give her money. The first time she gave her five thousand taels of silver, and she actually accepted it.
Now I want to stuff myself with money.
But the Kyogoku family is really rich, with fifty thousand taels of silver. For many wealthy businessmen, this is an astronomical figure.
Wu Nian was a little moved, but in the end he suppressed it. Putting aside his relationship with the Kyogoku family, it was not good to rely on a businessman to pay for the war.
"Thank you Miss Kyogoku for your kindness. But I appreciate the fifty thousand taels of silver." Wu Nian raised his head and said.
Kyogoku Yuki was a little disappointed that she couldn't get away with the money, but she didn't mess around. Instead, she bowed and apologized: "It was Yuki who was careless."
"No, miss, you also have good intentions." Wu Nian said seriously and sincerely.
If he were an ordinary businessman, Wu Nian would be suspicious of the other party's intentions. But in Kyogoku Yuki, the two had a friendship that grew out of thick and thin, so they were not included in this category.
Kyogoku Yuki still felt that she was rash and became more and more cautious. Wu Nian said some words to her and let her go.
Wu Nian raised his head and unconsciously looked at Kyogoku Yuki's back.
It is said that Miss Kyogoku has a very good-looking face, with snow-white skin, but she has a flat chest. From the front, she looks really miserable.
But her buttocks are plump, her waist is very thin, and her back is absolutely stunning when she takes small steps.
Wu Nian watched unconsciously and didn't pay much attention.
"Shibosi?" Wu Nian murmured to himself for a while, still a little disappointed. Water from a distance can't cure fire from afar.
But the next moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Wu Nian's mind. Then there was a roar in his mind. Wu Nian sat in silence for a long time, with a pair of tiger eyes flashing with brilliance.
I seem to have overlooked a very important issue.
I am a country.
The country belongs to me.
In this land of three palaces, I am omnipotent.
I knew a long time ago that the fastest way to make money is to print money. But I don’t have this condition yet.
But there is one thing I can do.
It may allow me to make a lot of money in one fell swoop.
As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.
But there is another idiom.
