In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, almost the seventh month of the solar calendar in later generations, it was the hottest season, Qian Yuan was lying on a rattan chair in the shade of a tree with a pu fan, and mung bean soup that had just been lifted from a deep well was placed on the stone table next to him.

Straightened up and drank the mung bean soup, Qian Yuan smacked his lips and saw Tang Shunzhi's old man walking over quickly.

"Gong Jing Chuan, don't worry."

"There's a lot of stuff out there, and you have time to drink mung bean soup here?!"

"Hey, Liang Sheng, why don't you give Jingchuan Gong a bowl?" Qian Yuan got up and said with a smile: "This is just stealing half a day of leisure, not enough busy these days?" ”

"The Governor's Mansion is so busy that they hit the back of their heels on the back of their heads......"

"Hey, Hu Ruzhen can't wait for Qian to get involved, I'm afraid he will be annoyed when he sees me!"

Now that the matter of appeasement has been fully decided, the Governor's Mansion is discussing a formal surrender ceremony, Hu Zongxian wants face, Wang Zhi is willing to give this face, Qian Yuan is too lazy to find a boring place, just to rest.

Tang Shunzhi took the bowl and drank the mung bean soup in two or three sips, and let out a long sigh of relief, "How much silver have you made now?" ”

"Wang Zhi hasn't sent it over yet, and the rest ...... Taizhou is too poor, and the big families in Shaoxing and Ningbo have made up more than 50,000 taels. Qian Yuan smiled: "It's really a loss to Zhao Meicun!" ”

Tang Shunzhi frowned, he hated Qian Yuan the most...... In order to achieve the goal, many times unscrupulous means, in order to raise money, pull Yan Song's godson Zhao Wenhua out.

However, most of the big donors of silver in Shaoxing and Ningbo are local families, and some of them are from the court, except for Zhao Wenhua, the rest are not from the Yan Party.

"Oh, Brother Wei Xi is here." Qian Yuan beckoned to Wu Baipeng, who had entered the hospital, and then his body stiffened, and he walked over helplessly to salute, "Uncle is also here." ”

Tan Lun glanced at Qian Yuan expressionlessly, "When I go back to Taizhou tomorrow, there are some things I have to ask clearly." ”

"Zili, sit down first, and then bring a few bowls of mung bean soup." Tang Shunzhi beckoned to Liang Sheng, and said, "This time, the old man will not return to ...... for the time being."

"That's it!" Tan Lun pursed his lips and glanced at his nephew, "Jingchuan is promoted to the prefect of Ningbo...... The official document hasn't come down yet? ”

"It's coming." Qian Yuan knew where Tan Lun's anger came from, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, and invited Wu Baipeng and Tang Shunzhi to talk secretly today, who knew that Tan Lun would also come to join in the fun.

You must know that among the civil officials in the southeast, the most trusted by Qian Yuan are Wu Baipeng and Tang Shunzhi, and Tan Lun is an elder in law, and many things are difficult to explain.

Wu Baipeng coughed twice, "Zhancai, it was Brother Fool who invited Brother Zili to come over, but it didn't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing Liang Sheng bring a few bowls of mung bean soup and tea, Qian Yuan waved his hand to let Liang Sheng go out with the guards, and then said in a deep voice: "Determine the overall situation first, and then discuss the details, the matter of trade is imminent, the general trend cannot be stopped, although the official document has not arrived, but Jingchuan Gong can start recruiting manpower......"

"Qian reminded that Jingchuan Gong needs a lot of manpower, it is just business, but it involves all aspects, it is impossible to be meticulous and comprehensive, and a group of people must be preferred, through the first trade, tax payment, distribution of customs clearance vouchers, etc., to build a framework."

"After that, we will expand the formation ...... with this group of people," Qian Yuan handed over a stack of papers on the table, "This is recorded by Qian Mou, and Jingchuan can take a closer look when he has time." ”

The self-made company in Qian Yuan's previous life was engaged in foreign trade, mainly imports, although customs clearance was outsourced, so he was naturally no stranger to customs.

Of course, the experience of the previous life can only be used as a reference at most, the limitations of the times, the attitude of the imperial court towards trade, the irrepressible smuggling, the strength of Wang Zhi's powerful fleet, and the small group of Japanese pirates who invade from time to time...... There are so many things to consider.

"Ten taxes two?" Wu Baipeng asked softly.

"No, ten taxes one." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Decades before the Southeast War, in fact, the City Shipping Division also used to collect customs duties...... It's a pity that the eunuchs wanted it too ruthlessly, and they were not satisfied with the ten taxes and two, and set ten taxes and four taxes, which was also one of the reasons for the strong smuggling in the southeast later. ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded, "Ten taxes and one is indeed a bit low, but now what we want is smooth trade, too high...... There may be trouble. ”

"Yes, but even if it's one out of ten taxes, I'm afraid that the fleet will go to sea privately." Qian Yuan shrugged, "Merchants gathered...... Ben was still thinking about the maritime merchant's purchase of goods, twenty taxes and one, but then I thought about it and forgot it. ”

Tan Lun sneered and said: "If you dare to collect such taxes, the maritime merchants will immediately make trouble!" ”

Wu Baipeng also sighed and admitted this, unlike the maritime trade in the previous life, such as the large number of goods in the Wei Duke's Mansion is a small number after all, such as Wang Zhi's maritime merchants are very powerful, and the manpower is also sufficient, and he is fully qualified to send his subordinates to Songjiang to buy cotton cloth, Nanjing to buy silk, and Huizhou to buy tea...... Even it is collected from farmers and estates, and it is completely impossible to collect taxes one by one.

Of course, if the trade goes well, there will be many merchants near Zhenhai County, and the capital will always be profit-seeking, and it is likely that Wang Zhi will not need to send people to buy the goods, and there will be large and small traders to transport the goods to Hou Taoshan.

In this case, the maritime merchants purchased the goods from the merchants, and the government took taxes from them, and according to Qian Yuan's idea, the money should be paid by the maritime merchants, but the maritime merchants had to bear the customs duties on going to sea...... This is the reason why Tan Lun said that the Maritime Chamber of Commerce made trouble.

After weighing it, Qian Yuan chose to ignore this tax silver, which was no way, everything had to be done on the premise of smooth trade.

"There is a batch of tea and silk in Suzhou, which will be shipped three days later and sent south to Zhenhai." Qian Yuan confessed to Tang Shunzhi: "Take this matter as an example, get on the ship to inspect the goods, estimate the value of the goods, collect taxes and silver, and issue a certificate to go to sea......"

"Wang Zhi first used silver to build warehouses and wharves, and dredged canals, isn't it possible to deduct tax silver?"

"Then you also have to calculate the tax silver, and the silver can always be deducted, right?" Qian Yuan shook his head, "And this time there is still a fleet to go to sea." ”

"Who?"

"It is said that it was a maritime merchant under Xu Hai in the past." Qian Yuan said slowly: "This person rarely plundered, and he descended to Wang Zhi......"

On the other side, Tan Lun's face darkened.

"I don't know my name, I only know the nickname Tan Qizhi." Qian Yuan's face did not change and said, "Duke Jingchuan doesn't need to worry, just let him go." ”

Tan Lun's hands under the table were clenched into fists, and he wanted to smash a fist on the face of his nephew opposite...... That's your uncle!

Wu Baipeng glanced at Qian Yuan and guessed something in his heart.

As early as the thirty-third year of Jiajing, many people found that Qian Yuan was quite familiar with the division of forces and names within the Japanese Kou, and later, Hu Zongxian, Wu Baipeng and others knew that Qian Yuan had laid an ambush beside Xu Hai...... Now it seems that it is this Tan Qizhi.

Tan Wei ...... Tang Shunzhi, Tan Lun, and Qi Jiguang met Tan Lun together back then, and naturally knew it, and turned his head to look at Tan Lun hesitantly.

"Qian Yuan, Qian Yuan, Qian Yuan......" Tan Lun roared lowly: "Do you know what you're doing?!" ”

"Why is Tan Fu Yin like this?" Qian Yuan said softly: "This is public, not private." ”

"That's your ......," Tan Lun stopped halfway through speaking.

Qian Yuan glanced at Wu Baipeng, who was looking at his nose and nose, "Yes, that is my uncle, Tongxiang Dajie, he took the lead in escaping so that Xu Hai was defeated, and he was cut off three fingers for this......"

Wu Baipeng was shocked, he was always puzzled by the battle outside Tongxiang County last year, Xu Hai's flank suddenly fled first inexplicably, so that the official army won a big victory, so it was!

"I can't come back...... Qian Yuan sighed, "Brother-in-law can go and ask in person." ”

Tan Lun closed his eyes in pain, punched the table with his right hand, got up and left.

Qian Yuan looked directly at Tan Lun's departing back expressionlessly.

Now, Tan Qizhi is the person he has chosen, controlling the fleet and sailing out to sea, this is the descendant he finally has, and he can't get out of his control no matter what.

Tang Shunzhi sighed, "The hard work is high, why is it so?" ”

Qian Yuan avoided answering, and turned his head to look at Wu Baipeng, "Please also ask Brother Wei Xi to keep it secret, this matter must not be leaked." ”
