0262 Collecting taxes at sea

Seeing this, Liu Pei was not a little proud. He whispered through the strength of the wine: "This is the emperor's capital!" ”

Liu Pei was just a little free today when he was stirred up. In the afternoon, Liu Pei's bookkeeper found him and reported to him an unfortunate news - Liu Pei had no money! Or maybe it's about to run out of money.

The bookkeeper said with a sad face: "That's right. I've just calculated that if I don't make a fortune this month, the money will be just enough. When the money comes over next month, we can turn around again. But this month really can't help it! ”

This old bookkeeper has a good reputation in the industry. But unfortunately, he was dragged down by his occupational disease, and he was dazzled! So he can no longer be a bookkeeper, and the family has no livelihood. Later, he was recommended to Liu Pei by Hua Shufeng. As a result, his problem was solved by Liu Pei with a pair of glasses. Therefore, he is grateful to Liu Pei and loyal. And Liu Pei also hopes to have such a trustworthy account man. So he signed the death deed and served Liu Pei as the general ledger.

As Mr. Bookkeeper explained one by one, Liu Fei's face became more and more heavy. In Liu Pei's view, the army is the most important thing, and nothing that damages the morale of the army must occur. If the salary of the family is stopped once it is stopped, although it can be made up in the future, the morale of this pile of family members is definitely a blow!

At this time, the soldiers informed Wu Yizhou to ask for a meeting. Liu Pei calculated the time, it should be Wu Yizhou who came back with the fleet. This time it was supposed to be the last voyage a year ago. Now the weather is getting colder, and there may be a freeze on Phi Island at any time. Once the ship is trapped, the gains outweigh the losses. So Liu Pei said, "Let him come in." ”

Liu Pei said: "Okay, then don't go." These let the family go to sea more often and get used to the sea. ”

Wu Yizhou didn't know why, so he said: "It's very good! Everyone took turns getting on the boat and wasn't very tired. ”

Wu Yizhou asked in surprise, "Where to go?" ”

Looking at Wu Yizhou's stunned appearance, Liu Pei said in a low voice: "Don't spread the news to you, I've done too much recently, and I've spent all the money in my hand." The family members can't pay their salaries this month. So we have to go to sea and find some extra money, or we will be sad! ”

When Liu Pei arrived at the dock, the family members were gathering, and it seemed that Wu Yizhou had come not much earlier than him. When the family members saw the head of the family coming, they all saluted, and Liu Pei took advantage of the situation to say loudly to the family members: "Brothers, the festival is coming soon, and there must be a lot of business at sea at this time." Those wealthy businessmen are desperately making a lot of money, how can they also score a little bit of our brothers! But they won't send it, so let's collect our own taxes! ”

Ready. With the concerted efforts of many family members, it was quickly transported to the ship. After Wu Yizhou's inspection, the two ships Zhenyuan and Dingyuan set sail.

The sub on the sea is not as good as expected, especially in winter. Floating on the sea for several days in a row, Liu Pei has been bored to the extreme! He was so bored that he personally climbed the mast today to look out at the sea and see if he could find the fat sheep.

It's not that Liu Pei has blind confidence, but that he has a lot of modern research. I learned where the main route from Ben to Daming is. On this route, it has fattened many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. So the fleet is actually going around this area.

According to the "Abridged Passage of Approvals", the price of the gold bank is 20 times that of the earth, and his brocade utensils: several times", coupled with the increase in the production of silver at that time, the purchasing power of silver in this book is lower than that in China, such as in the 43rd year of Wanli, 1 tael of silver can only go to 1 metric stone of rice 1 bucket and 3 liters, while in China you can buy 1 metric stone 7 buckets and 4 liters. Before and after the apocalypse, the ratio of gold to silver was 1:13 in Ben, and 1:8 to 1:10 in China.

In fact, by the 38th year of Wanli, the teachings of this book had already existed in name only, which can be seen from the "Coastal Defense Regulations" of Chen Yuzhen, the governor of Fujian: "The good people of the near world are twice as profitable as Luzon, and they are good at giving votes, opening the ocean at will, and the high-masted giant ships are surrounded by the Japanese state, and the harm of the future construction of aid is unspeakable."
