Chapter 164: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
Led by clippers, all three ships that went to sea docked.
However, except for Li Kuan, Wang Xuance, and Cheng Chumo, the others were still on the ship, waiting for the people from the newly established City Shipping Division to register and confirm the information before getting off the ship.
Personnel information, cargo information, vessel information, trade location information......
Li Kuan is ready to set the rules for these basic information at the beginning, and let the city department register and file them.
"Dongfang Ping has seen the prince!"
Although I don't know what it is for Li Kuan to find himself as soon as he gets off the boat, it will definitely not be a bad thing, so as soon as Dongfang Ping got the news, he brought seven or eight students in the school who were good at arithmetic and a certain age came over.
"Xuan Ce, you explain the precautions to him, let the guards maintain order, and start moving things down from the ship."
What the city has to do is complicated and complex, and simple and simple.
On occasions like today, all personnel are fully cooperating, and what Dongfang Ping needs to do is to register the information, confirm the goods, gold and silver clearly, and then collect taxes on the basis of ten taxes and one.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely handle this properly."
Dongfang Ping's brain is very useful, and he soon understood that the greatest opportunity in his life had come.
"Dengshan, you go and ask the salted fish workshop to move the scales over, and lend them to the city first."
Considering that there will be a large amount of gold and silver that needs to be weighed, Li Kuan reminded Chu Suiliang to prepare things like weighing.
……
"A box of gold, weighing one hundred and eighty-six pounds and four taels."
"A box of gold, weighing two hundred and twelve pounds and three taels."
"A box of silver, weighing one hundred and seventy-five pounds and six taels."
"A box of silver, weighing one hundred and sixty-six pounds and two taels."
As boxes of gold and silver were carried down from the ship, Dongfang Ping's panting voice became coarse.
Needless to say, the surrounding onlookers were separated by the guards of the Chu Palace, but the lid of the open box, the gold and silver inside glittered in the sunlight, all of which meant a huge impact.
At the dock of Nuoda, there is basically the sound of Dongfang Ping's boxes of counting there.
Considering that it is not meaningful to pour out the gold and silver of each box and weigh it, it is basically an estimate of the average weight of the box, and each time a box is weighed directly, minus the weight of the box is the end of the matter.
The gold and silver that had been weighed were not removed at once, but were put aside in one place, waiting for the last time to be taxed.
The impact of gold and silver, when you simply listen to the number of thousands of taels and how many tens of thousands of taels, the feeling is not so strong.
But when the gold and silver are presented to you in the form of physical objects, the impact is completely different.
This is the same visual impact as the one million in the bank account in the future and the one million cash in front of you.
……
"Envoy, His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to sea once, did he suffer from a brain disease? Why did you suddenly set up a city department to collect your own taxes? ”
Chun Yubo stood beside Chun Yunan, frowned and said softly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu acts, I can understand it, it's just a fantasy, and no one can understand it. Ten taxes one, if he hadn't collected this tax himself, something would definitely have happened. ”
It's hard to see the boxes of gold and silver, and the taxes that need to be paid will definitely not be less, and I feel that if it were me, I wouldn't be like this.
"I brought back so much gold and silver from this trip to the sea, and I went down to inquire about it to see how the money came from."
Chun Yubo was a little envious, a little jealous, why did these gold and silver run towards Li Kuan like he had long legs?
……
It took a whole hour for Dongfang Ping to count all the goods, and his face changed from shock at the beginning to flat, and now, those gold and silver are really just a bunch of numbers.
"Lord, the total is fifty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-four taels of gold, eighty-six thousand three hundred and thirty-two taels of silver, thirty-two thousand two hundred and fifty-five catties of brass, and a number of abalone, silverware, and bronze ware."
Dongfang Ping respectfully handed a ledger to Li Kuan.
"Let Dengshan allocate a yard to the city department first, these taxes and silver will be according to ten taxes and one, you directly arrange people to put in the city department, after you go back, you also think about the rules of the city department, how many people are needed, how to carry out the work, what resources are needed, and report directly to the king."
"My subordinates understand, and my subordinates thank you for your cultivation."
By now, Dongfang Ping would be stupid if he didn't understand what chance he had.
"Xuan Ce, arrange for someone to transport these things to the East China Sea fishery, and take out half of them as a reward for all the people who go to sea, and assign it to you and Zhou Fu to discuss it."
After paying the tax and silver, the crew members standing on the dock were all very excited when they heard Li Kuan's words.
Half percent does not seem to be a high percentage, but it is equivalent to more than one million taels of silver, and all the people who go to sea add up to four or five hundred, and each person can get an average of one hundred taels of silver.
It's definitely not a small amount of money.
"Lord Wang!"
When she was done with business, Qing'er finally couldn't help but squeeze in front of Li Kuan.
On the contrary, it was Zixia, although she missed it before, but at this time she was much calmer, just watching it affectionately there.
"What's the matter, this king said that he will be back soon, and he didn't lie to you."
Habitually pinching Qing'er's little face, Li Kuan laughed heartily.
"Lord Wang, our girl is here."
Yun'er saw Zixia standing there stupidly, not knowing how to squeeze to Li Kuan's side, and couldn't help but shout.
"Miss Zixia."
Li looked at the woman in front of him who had lost a lot of money a little complicated.
Since the establishment of the Mutual Aid Primary School, Zixia has either been there to teach everyone calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano, or she has been quietly staying in the county ya, and has never taken the initiative to ask Li Kuan for anything.
"The prince's safe return is really a blessing for Dengzhou."
Zixia looked at Li Kuan with a smile, and the two small dimples on her face looked very chic.
"Hehe, isn't that your luck?" Li Kuan couldn't help but laugh.
However, Zixia not only did not feel unhappy, but replied with a red face, "It is also a blessing for the slave family, seeing the return of the prince, the slave family is at ease." ”
Seeing Li Kuan talking and laughing with Zixia and a few other girls, Jiujo Xingxiang, who was mixed in the crowd, had a slightly dark face.
"Xingxiang, work hard, one day, you will also become an indispensable person by the prince's side."
Kujou Hiroyuki knew that as a Japanese national, he would have to make more efforts to gain Li Kuan's trust; However, since Kujou Shinichi talked to him, he understood that he had the heavy responsibility of the rise of the Kujo family on his shoulders, and only by firmly hugging Li Kuan's thighs could the future of the Kujou family be bright.
Regardless of the discussion of the people around him, Li Kuan waved his hand, "Let's go back to the county government first and have a good meal!" ”
Leaving a bunch of envious, jealous and hateful eyes, Li Kuan left the dock surrounded by the guards.
