Chapter 265: Big Business Is Coming
Wang Yue is like a seasoned master of juggling, starting from the chaos in Zhejiang, constantly falling into place, and only after the layout is completed, the ultimate goal is revealed.
The imperial court wanted to get the benefits of opening the sea.
This has been achieved in the Yongle Dynasty, and it is exclusive!
At the beginning, the Yongle Emperor sent a fleet of tens of thousands of people to overseas countries to trade and exchange goods with a fleet of tens of thousands of people.
Many people say that this is a waste of money and a waste of the national treasury...... Perhaps from a certain point of view, it is indeed a loss of money and labor, and the common people have not received any benefits, because Zhu Di took the income away and used it to launch a conquest of Mongolia.
If we compare the time of going to the West with the conquest of the grassland desert, we will find that the two are highly correlated.
Therefore, after Zhu Di's death, there was no emperor who could "compete with the people for profit", and the opening of the sea naturally could not be maintained. In other words, the official trade of the imperial court will not work.
Wang Yue didn't expect Zhu Houxi to reach the level of Zhu Laosi, it was impossible.
What's more, Zhu Di had just gone through the war at that time, and his national strength was far from recovering, and what he could sell was really limited. But now it is different, so many commodities and goods, relying on official trade alone, absolutely will not work.
Therefore, there must be private participation, and for the imperial court, what needs to be obtained in hand is taxes!
It can only be taxes!
Whoever wants to make money from exporting has to pay customs duties to the imperial court.
The reason why Wang Yue is full of confidence in his plan is because the current overseas trade has changed from the original royal arrangement to a few large households.
The vast number of merchants, even Jin merchants, could not participate in it, they could only passively rely on buying some goods to make some meager profits. The real benefits have been taken away by several large families.
These people did everything, and they even raised a fleet and became a superpower on the howling sea, and many people dared not speak out.
And what Wang Yue has to do is to give them a different choice.
Since it has changed from official trade to tax collection, it is natural to hope that the more trade volume the better, and the more people who come to buy goods, the better. This explains why you have to deal with the Ouchi clan.
No matter how much you say, it's nonsense, everything is the word profit!
"I have several important orders to announce here, I am ready to set up the Tianjin Water Division, with Tang Qing as the chief soldier of the Water Division, and the Fuguo Gong Cui Shilin as the commander of the Tianjin Water Division!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the court went crazy, especially those warriors.
They usually go to the morning court for decoration, and there is no room for speech, and it has little to do with them anyway.
But the news is really different.
In the past tense, the three major princes divided the Beijing camp. The outer gate controls the nine sides and forms a balance between each other.
But now a force suddenly appeared.
Obviously, the Tianjin Naval Division is to escort the Municipal Maritime Division, and the future development space of this Naval Division is very amazing. What kind of thing is Cui Shilin? How can he control the Tianjin Water Division?
Isn't this nonsense?
Just when the big guy was about to object, Cui Yuan, the concubine, stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the sailor had been cut off for many years, and everything was starting from scratch. Even if the old minister is enabled, there is no experience. This position is still a pass of courage and loyalty. Although Chen is Cui Shilin's biological father, his decisiveness and courage also amazed Chen. If someone thinks it's inappropriate, then let him also go to sea and deal with the barbarians, and it will be clear whether it will work or not. In short, the minister was full of confidence in Cui Shilin. ”
Zhu Houxi laughed, "That's right! I also think that he is the most suitable, and he is in charge of the Tianjin Water Division. It's just that the next Tianjin Bo Division, who will take care of this, I haven't decided yet. ”
Zhu Houxi glanced at Wang Yue out of the corner of his eye, but shook his head imperceptibly.
The reason is very simple, he doesn't want to limit Xiaofugui to Tianjin. But the future of Tianjin City is indeed very important, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the account every year, and the potential of this city is almost above the household department!
Who is more suitable?
When Zhu Houxi was groaning, Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the new city department is different from the previous city department, it is better to change the name to the Customs and Excise Department, and the minister will take the position of governor of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, this method is good, first raise the status, and then play an important minister.
There are so many things like opening the sea that ordinary young courtiers can't bear it.
Luo Qinshun's ability is enough, and this trip to sea has made him have a huge change, and it is estimated that he will not be mixed with those conservatives.
"Well, since this is the case, according to what Wang Qing said, Jia Luo Qinshun is the crown prince Taibao, the secretary of the military department, the imperial history of the right capital, and the governor of the Tianjin Customs and Taxation Department!"
Zhu Houxi looked at Luo Qinshun with a smile, and said with a smile: "Luo Qing, this customs duty assignment is my money bag, and it is also a gateway to my Ming Dynasty, you have to take care of it for me." ”
Luo Qinshun knelt on the ground excitedly, and he didn't know what to say.
For them, Yang Tinghe's old department, there are not many choices, either they retreat bravely, or they will be taken down...... Just like him, he was almost going to get out, but because of a trip to sea, he was blessed by misfortune.
The official position of the Customs and Excise Department is high enough, the profits are rich enough, and it is not far from the capital.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best to live up to the grace of God!"
Zhu Houxi nodded happily, "In this way, I can rest assured, the two of you are the most suitable for one article and one martial arts." As for Wang Zhun and Lu Can...... Although you are speech officials, you can hear about rumors, but you can't catch the wind and catch shadows, let alone frame heroes! You have no understanding of the country's major policies, you are narrow-minded, and your intentions are sinister...... It stands to reason that I should be severely punished. But Cui Juma took action for me and beat you, which can be regarded as punishment. ”
"You two go and thank Cui Juma!"
What the?
After being beaten, I have to say that I fought well!
It's also too bullying.
Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated!
The two of them struggled for three seconds, which can be regarded as giving the sage face.
Then obediently knelt in front of Cui Yuan.
"We chase after the wind and shadow and frame Zhongliang, thank you for the lesson, I will know that I am wrong!"
Oh my God!
Could it be that I'm hallucinating?
The iron-clad official actually bowed his head to the noble emperor?
This kind of thing, on the bright side, seems to be the first time!
Refreshing!
It's so cool!
If a martial artist wants to have face, he must fight for his own strength!
Look at Cui Shilin, he went overseas once, and with credit, even his father was hard to speak, this is the gap!
The big guys went down one after another with full thoughts.
These people did not notice that under Cui Shilin and Luo Qinshun, there was another appointment, that is, the new magistrate of Tianjin...... It is the new branch of the flower exploration Xu step.
"I said Master, it's enough for me alone, the little junior brother has fine skin and tender meat, if you let him deal with the barbarians, he will suffer!"
Cui Shilin was ashamed, and Wang Yue snorted, "I want to leave it all to you, but will you build a wharf?" Will a shipyard be opened? Can a new city be built? How to receive the merchants when they come, and how to store the goods that our merchants transport? How is the commodity valued and how is it taxed? ”
Cui Shilin quickly lowered his head when he was asked, I'm sorry, these things have nothing to do with him.
Xu Jie had a faint smile on his face, it was obvious that the location of Tianjin Zhixian was very critical, and many people couldn't think of it, this was the master's preference for himself.
But to say that there is no burden at all in this position is also deceptive, and he feels that the burden on his shoulders is heavy.
"Master, it's all easy to say, it's just that after Tianjin opens the sea, there will be buying and selling, if there is no popularity, the disciple is afraid that nothing will be done!"
Wang Yue chuckled and nodded, "Don't worry, I still have a little bit of face, besides, even if I can't, there is still your master!" ”
"Master?"
Only then did they remember that there was still the existence of Lao Wang!
It's not easy to say that Wang Hansheng is not easy, he is obviously so fat and his sense of existence is so low, this is urgent for him, and he doesn't know when he will be able to show his talents......
"Good boy, you sent all the new apprentices and old apprentices to Tianjin, and this place will be your family in the future." The one who can talk to Wang Yue like this is naturally Yang Yiqing, the first assistant.
Wang Yue also didn't care, "I said Yuan Weng, this is not only my business, but also your Jin Shang's major matter, let's say, how much strength are you going to make?" ”
Yang Yiqing glared, "What do you call Jin Shang?" Aren't we a family? At present, it is tentatively set at 500,000 taels, after all, the country is too poor, and if you can sell these, you can already smile secretly. ”
At the same time as Wang Yue and Yang Yiqing were talking, the other two were also discussing...... "This is Master's business, no matter what, I can't lag behind as an apprentice, at least prepare 800,000 taels of goods!" Yang Bo said categorically: "If it is lost, it will be counted in my account, no matter what, it can't make Tianjin's opening of the sea ugly!" ”
Wuding Marquis Mansion!
"Wang Yue will definitely make a lot of money when he opens the sea this time, those big maritime merchants have long made the heavens angry and resentful, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty don't like them, and the overseas merchants are even more miserable." Miss Guo smiled and said: "Dad, we have to prepare at least two million taels of goods, I see that there will be more to sell in the future!" ”
