"From today onwards, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty who sell goods will pay a 10% tax, the merchants who sell will pay a 10% tax, and the merchants who buy will pay a 10% tax."

At the seaside wharf in Guangzhou, someone reads the words on the notice posted there.

The merchants of Datang didn't think anything about it when they heard it, it had nothing to do with them, they also paid a tax of 10% before.

Moreover, Guangzhou is building roads, and the people are digging on narrow roads that should not be considered roads at all.

This is the tax money they paid, starting from the wharf and continuing through the road to the north through Da Yuling, all repaired.

There is also a post station, a post in ten miles.

The dependence on the post station for the transportation of goods is not too high, and everyone is armed to protect them.

Sending a letter is different, go to the post station, give more money, and the letter will be delivered to its destination quickly.

A letter is willing to cost a penny, two thousand miles apart, and it is delivered in five days, four hundred miles a day.

For the 600-mile urgent report and 800-mile expedited report of the imperial court, it seems slow.

However, it is ten times faster than before.

The merchants felt that the people at the post station had worked hard, and the post station was not a single person making money, and a group of people could not get a single person or a penny.

There are also businessmen who think that it is okay, not one businessman sends letters, dozens or hundreds of businessmen have to write letters every day.

Some even bought a sample from Yishang, sent it away in a small package with a letter, and delivered it to their home within five days.

Look at the samples at home, reply to the letter, and send it back within five days.

If you are willing to spend 500 yuan, you can send a package weighing no more than 20 catties from Guangzhou to Chang'an within three days.

Don't care how people run, 500,000 yuan, I guarantee you to run.

It's faster than 800 miles faster, nearly 4,000 miles all the way, right? Running 1,4500 miles a day? How do horses run?

Correct! So far, no one wants to spend that money, what is worth 500 taels of 20 catties? Instruments of rebellion?

They still don't know that the imperial court is in a hurry, from Chang'an to Hexi Jiedu envoy, arriving in one day.

The process is simple, sprint, sprint when you ride a good military horse, and immediately change horses to the next post station and sprint again.

"Spend an extra 10% of the money? Total up. ”

"Going somewhere else? Bypass them? ”

"I can't get around, there is a notice next to it, saying that as long as someone is found to be buying and selling privately, the person who reported it will take half of the money for the goods."

"Where did you get so much money to reward you?"

"Confiscate, take away all our things and the things of the Datang merchants."

"Will anyone report it?"

"What do you say?"

"It's me? I report. ”

"Your own people will report it, as long as it is not the same ship's cargo."

The merchants are depressed and spend more money? It means that the profit is less than 10%.

"Pay it, pay fifty percent of the tax? You can still make a lot of money. ”

"Datang doesn't do anything, just make money."

"The notice says the dock is going to be repaired? There are also warehouses. ”

"Many of their merchants are using an exchange coupon called Li Family Zhuangzi, do you have one?"

"I exchanged it back for a few hundred dollars, all for one penny? Use it for money with me? Do I vouch? Very easy to use. ”

"I'll try it too."

The topic of the merchants changed to the exchange voucher, the tax that Datang said? within their affordability.

Their profit is not twenty percent, and they run a boat, at least five times the profit? Far away even more than ten times.

There was a group of people standing by the sea, people with weapons, Qin Shui sat under a sun umbrella shed woven with grass and drank ice water.

Her people are in charge of security and help inspect the goods by the way.

The people of Guangzhou Mansion used to be able to make some oil and water, and saw a new group of people rushing to buy and sell? Someone wants to make trouble.

When you know that the other party is Qin Shui from the Qin family village in Luzhou? Dismiss thoughts in an instant.

In particular, the goods and manpower are not all owned by the Qin family, and all the villages in a large area of Luzhou have elements and manpower.

Dare to hurt her, within a month, believe it or not, 100,000 soldiers will come out there to attack here?

The Tang Dynasty will not provoke so many mountain people for the sake of a person who takes the initiative to stir up trouble.

If you are caught by them, no, you should kill yourself before you are caught.

"You're not afraid of getting sick after drinking so much ice water?" Wei Yuefeng and Zhang Jiuling are there.

Wei Yuefeng saw that Qin Shui kept drinking ice water, worried that the other party would have a problem drinking.

"I won't drink this bowl after drinking it, our winter won't freeze, and I can't find a way to store ice. Fortunately, I can make ice from saltpeter, which I haven't enjoyed before. ”

Qin Shui showed a pitiful expression, the days were bitter!

The proprietor said that in the future, there would be no ice in the local area, and the ice could be transported by ship from Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, and the ice would be loaded on the ship.

When it arrives here, the ice doesn't melt too much, there are docks, and the merchants have a lot of money to sell to them, and there are also merchants. ”

The people of the Feather Forest Flying Rider were drinking tea, green tea, their welfare, and talked about what was to come.

Li Yi said that when ships go to sea, fresh water is not easy to preserve, and there are several ways.

One is that he has the means to distill seawater and then use saltpeter to refrigerate and condense it.

One is to bring a large wine barrel with rice wine in it, drink rice wine to quench your thirst, and the rice wine will not go bad if it is stored.

One is to bring ice and eat it all the way.

One is canned food, canned fruit in large bottles, opened by a boatload of people to eat, saying that it can also supplement vitamins or something.

If the boat is big enough, it can even grow vegetables, carrying dirt and pots to make fertilizer.

You don't need to keep pigs on boats, you should keep horses, and the proprietor says that there are no horses in another place.

Qin Shui took another sip of ice water: "We also want to build a big ship, Ah Da said that he wants to enter the hometown of Datang, and it is okay to pay some money every year." ”

"Why?" Zhang Jiuling doesn't think that the other party needs to pay rent, and Datang can't control others.

"Looking for proprietor Li, we are people with origins in the Tang Dynasty, and ask proprietor Li how to live a good life.

In fact, not only my Qin family's village and a few villages that were married, but other farther villages were willing to know about our arrival in Chang'an.

Willing to find Li Dong to host the matter, Li Dong can actually let the three prime ministers go over to discuss things, no, the three prime ministers are hungry and go over to eat. ”

Qin Shui was very proud when he talked about this, Prime Minister, such a big official, he had seen it all.

Zhang Jiuling rubbed his temples: "Do you think it's good for you to see Zaifu?" Don't you think that the Li family, Zhuangzi and Zaifu are also afraid of winning people? ”

"The three prime ministers chatting with Li Dongzhu are very casual, how can they ......" Qin Shui stopped when he said this.

She is not stupid at all, as the 'princess' of such a big village, she can still be sent out to buy and sell, which in itself proves her IQ and emotional intelligence.

"Is that what it looks like? Oh, my God! We were able to enter the Li family Zhuangzi at that time because ......" Qin Shui's face changed.

"Because Li Yi wants to know about this side of the matter, he feels wronged in the future, don't rush to attack the state capital, you send someone to find Li Yi."

Zhang Jiuling took the opportunity to carry private goods, and now the position of Luzhou's assassination is still vacant.

Qin Shui laughed: "Yes, next time someone makes us bad, we will ask Li Yi what to do with him?" If he doesn't give benefits, we will fight the state capital.

But we don't kill people indiscriminately, we don't kill people like us, and we don't kill people who don't resist.

We want to arrest people, catch people, and tell Li Yi, is a thorn worth a gold mine or a silver mine? ”

Zhang Jiuling: "......"

Wei Yuefeng's eyes widened: "Are you a master of attacking the state capital and arresting the history of assassination?" ”

"Hmmm! In Li's Zhuangzi, I feel like a playhouse, which is interesting. Qin Shui nodded repeatedly.
