Chapter 655: The title has something to do to attract publicity
"It is so far to open a shipping company in Guangzhou, how can we exchange things with the barbarians?"
Zhu Yuanzhang Living in Xiaqiu Village, I couldn't stop working. I took my son to correct the question papers every day.
The question book in front of me was presented by Wang Guangyang, who was assigned to participate in politics in Guangzhou Province. The content was just one, opening a shipping company.
The office, or governance, of Guangdong Province is located in Guangzhou Prefecture, which is located in Nanhai County.
The magistrate of Nanhai County was the most unlucky. There were pressure from the magistrate and the political advisor, and the magistrate started to cause trouble. The top leader was so good that he actually sent a prime minister to be the political advisor.
"Father, it is indeed far away. It takes a long time to send an express letter from there."
Zhu Biao also believed that the Municipal Shipping Department should not be established in Guangzhou.
"In that case, bring Yichang Xuan and ask him."
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to call him back directly, but he thought he should find someone to ask.
In the past, he would look for Hu Weiyong, but now the more he looks at Hu Weiyong, the more he dislikes him. His abilities are based on comparison, and he feels that the prime minister is useless.
When the mayor was called, he was looking at Hanhan’s drawing of a hot air balloon, and happened to take Hanhan to the building next to him. This was not the imperial city.
Zhu Wentian grabbed a handful of kumquats, which are produced in She County. She County not only has good inkstones, but also good kumquats. It is the ripe season, and the steam engine boat will bring a few boats back, so everyone will have fruit to eat. .
He gave a few to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, then looked at the palace maids and eunuchs next to him, turned around and ran away, and came back with two baskets filled with kumquats.
He walked around in a circle, and each of the palace maids and eunuchs gave him a handful.
After he finished dividing, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to the head of the village, "Yichang, the former Youcheng Wang Chaozong came back from writing an inscription and wanted to open a shipping company in Guangzhou, what do you think?"
The chief looked at the prince and saw the prince's expression as if he was waiting to hear. He understood.
“Your Majesty, the Guangzhou Shipping Department was originally established in the Tang Dynasty to trade with the barbarians. The barbarians came from overseas. Wherever they saw the land first, they would definitely be willing to go there.
If a city shipping department is established in Guangzhou, it will be convenient for the Yi people, but it will be more difficult for us to transport in the Ming Dynasty, which is not cost-effective.
However, there are many islands at the entrance to the sea, which can allow people to travel on the islands. Build a dock to receive the barbarians for a temporary rest and repair the ships. After they have rested, they will then trade along the coast to our current shipping department to reduce the palace's transportation expenses.
At the same time, it can increase the income of Guangzhou, where there are many people of various ethnic groups, but there are insufficient production tools. The main reason is that the government management is lacking.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the officials sent there are easy to give birth to the local emperor. He wanted to exploit the people.
In setting up a city ship department, officials must have their hands up. Whoever your majesty wants to die can be sent there as a city ship envoy. ”
The mayor opposed the establishment of a municipal shipping department in Guangzhou, but he could provide other services to the barbarians and collect money.
"Whoever we want to die, we will kill him directly. Why bother to provide paid help? The people can make money." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
"Your Majesty, we cannot ask the people to directly participate." The head of the village shook his head, "The local people mainly live in the village, and they will have conflicts over participation.
If we want to This method can be used to weaken the local people, and they will kill each other.
The Ming Dynasty's army is now prosperous, and Huairou is the main one. Wang Shenzheng wants to do something so that he can come back.
< p>We are not afraid that he will be greedy, otherwise he will never come back. It is better to order him to organize official personnel.When the barbarian merchant ships arrive in Guangzhou, the people from each village will bring food and drinks to the barbarians. Exchange.
We collect taxes from the barbarians, and one tax per ten is good. The barbarians will not exchange a lot with the local people, and the tax is expensive.
At the same time, the local people are restricted from exchanging other items. , such as their handmade fabrics and silver."
"Should Tamsui charge money from the barbarians?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and agreed, but he got into the money and wanted to charge for fresh water.
Zhu Wentian nodded with a silly smile on his face, yes, why shouldn’t he pay for the fresh water supply?
Of course, under normal circumstances, there is no shortage of water, and there is no need for fresh water ships and fresh water trucks to replenish it. Yes, generally no fresh water fee is charged.
But later on, some countries became jealous of the money and insisted on collecting money.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to charge it, then
"Your Majesty, no, in the future our Ming fleet will go to other places. If we charge someone else's fresh water fee today, they will charge us." "
The village chief objected. This is mutual. Fresh water is a life-saving thing. People come so far away to trade, and you charge them money for water
"Yes, yes, that's not possible. We want to be generous, we are Ming Dynasty. Hehehehehe" Zhu Yuanzhang said and laughed.
“Your Majesty, we can actually increase the income of the local people, not only by exchanging things, but when exchanging things, remember not to make money from the people, only the taxes of the barbarians.
Invite the people to participate and let the yamen organize it. The people will know how we treat them.
At the same time, the taxes from the barbarians are collected. The money does not need to be sent to Nanjing. It can be used directly in the local area for employment. The people work.
The people do not consider the overall situation, they just want to satisfy their immediate interests, and if the oppression is not too severe, they will not revolt. "
The Li Chief continued. He said that there was no need to take that little money back and digest it on the spot. At the same time, he told the people that the yamen was helping you make money and not benefiting from it.
At another time, the mayor would not have said this, and the local officials promised to make some money.
Wang Guangyang is in charge now, and he needs to come back. Guangdong is poor and backward, with hot summers and cold and humid winters, mainly humidity.
What Hanhan said is like this, let alone Guangzhou, Qiongzhou Prefecture over there, and the places to the north.
Only Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty wrote the poem "Tianya Hai" in which the moon rises over the sea and the world ends together at this moment.The winter here is warm and it is not humid at all. It is the most suitable place for northerners to stay, especially the Northeast.
Wang Guangyang is guaranteed to get upset if he stays for a long time, no, now he is upset, his rights are gone, and he has gone to a poor place to participate in politics.
Give him something to do. How dare he take advantage of it? Once found out, the next place is probably Qiongzhou Mansion.
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile and narrowed his eyes. "Yes, that's right. We don't like that little bit of money. Look at this question book."
Zhu Yuanzhang said and asked the eunuch to come over and bring the question book to him. He had already approved this question book before and did not agree.
The village manager took it and saw that it was sent by Henan Prefecture. He said that the cotton had been used up and he wanted to find more land to grow cotton next year. There were hydraulic spinning machines on Luoshui River.
The Ming Dynasty required planting cotton and mulberry trees so that they would have clothes to wear. If they didn’t plant, they would harvest more.
Right now, they are making money there, but they are short of raw materials and hope to expand cotton cultivation.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be looked at from two aspects." The chief read it over and asked the eunuch to send the question book back.
This thing should not have been shown to him, but the people around him thought it was perfectly normal. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
