Feng Ziying knew that her remarks had a great impact on these people, especially some Fujian maritime merchants actually had extremely close ties with many Chinese in the South Seas, or they were their neighbors or even relatives of the side branches.

As soon as his opinion came out, it meant that these criminals who had originally left their homeland and were not recognized by the imperial court, and were even regarded as fleeing from their land and fled from the sea, could get a statement of relocation, change from illegal to legal, and then return to the people of the Great Zhou.

This is undoubtedly a great news for the Chinese who have relocated to the land, and once the place where they are forced to move for their livelihood is included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is simply a very happy thing, and they can also interact with their ancestral homeland at will in the future, and even build the branch ancestral hall to the current overseas place.

"Okay, everyone, this official knows that some of the official's words just now may surprise everyone, but the matter of opening the sea is unprecedented, have you thought about it?" Feng Ziying said leisurely: "Now the imperial court will not stick to the old rules, but try to change many unreasonable practices in the past, as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court." ”

This is true, such a rapid strategy of opening the sea, and even reforming the scope of responsibilities of the Zhongshu Department for this purpose, specifically for the implementation of the opening of the sea, shows the determination of the imperial court.

These people all have some background in the DPRK, and as soon as the Zhongshu Section reopened its new powers, they got the news, and most of them knew the relationship between Guan Yingzhen and the person in front of them.

The other party dares to be so unscrupulous to take things that he can't think of before, and he naturally has the confidence, thinking of this, many people are relieved.

"If there is anyone who is not clear about this matter, or feel that it is necessary to understand and discuss it specifically, well, you can come down and post it, if the official can arrange it, I can discuss with you the specific method, but today is not the time to discuss this matter, we have more important things."

Feng Ziying pulled the topic back and began to introduce the scope of maritime trade concessions, the quota in various places, the time and amount of concessions, and the way to discuss ways to increase the quota in the future.

At this time, no one interjected, but listened attentively and pondered carefully.

After all, this involves the specific interests of each family, and it is often calculated in 10,000 taels of silver.

"......, according to the imperial court statistics and the three provinces directly reported and the self-reported situation, the Chinese calligraphy department initially has a reservation, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangxi established the sea trade franchise merchants based on the seven years of Yonglong, and the proportion of households will be determined according to 1:2:3:4, and the total number of households is initially set at 50, if it needs to be increased for special reasons, it must be reported to the Chinese Department of Books, the Ministry of Households, but in principle will not increase, and the next round of quota growth will be discussed at this time next year, In principle, the increase ratio shall not exceed 10% of the actual number of households in the current year, and so on, if it is necessary to exceed this proportion once a year, it must be approved by the Chinese Calligraphy Department and the consent of more than half of the merchants in the original number of households,......"

This suggestion caused a sensation among the crowd again.

What these people are most worried about is the agreed amount this year, and next year the imperial court will suddenly increase dozens of households in one go in order to collect more royalties, and even the price of royalties may fall, so everyone will become the wronged one this year.

Now the revisionist has actually proposed that when the imperial court increases the number of households in excess of the prescribed one-percentage, it must obtain the consent of more than half of the merchants who have obtained the concession of maritime trade, otherwise the regulations cannot be broken.

This is really a new thing, when did the court need to agree to the rules of the merchants?

"Lord Feng, the grass people have a question to ask,......

"My lord, the grass people also want to ask, this ......"

Several people stood up almost at the same time or at the same time, probably because they couldn't help it.

"Everyone, please sit down, your question has been guessed by the official, isn't it the last one, which requires the consent of more than half of the original merchants to break the regulations?"

Feng Ziying didn't have to think about it to guess why these people were so excited and excited, this was too exciting for them, and his purpose was to cultivate the habit of these businessmen who dared to make agreements with the government and ask for the fulfillment of the contract.

"That's right, that's it, in the future, the official will write this point into the regulations, if this consent is not obtained, the maritime trade merchants, well, the official suggests that in the future, the maritime trade merchants can set up a guild organization, as an internal discussion and research institution for maritime trade-related affairs, just like a guild hall, and at the same time, when the government needs to communicate and negotiate with you in the future, it can also better represent the entire group,...... Feng Ziying added: "Without the consent of more than half of the existing maritime merchants, then the number of new households must not exceed the original regulations,......

Feng Ziying's reiteration made everyone excited inexplicably.

This means that they, the maritime merchants, will be able to engage in dialogue and negotiation with the government on certain issues as a group in the future, which is an unprecedented initiative.

The consciousness of rights and obligations, the consciousness of contracts, these things need to be cultivated slowly, and they cannot be achieved overnight, and it may even take decades or even hundreds of years to slowly form in this land.

Feng Ziying tried to instill some seeds in the minds of these pioneers as soon as possible, so that they could sprout under the right conditions.

Jia Lian and Duan Xigui, who were sitting on the side, were also shocked by Feng Ziying's many views.

Before, they had only seen some of the contents in the book, but they had not been able to fully comprehend the meaning of many specific contents represented or covered, and it was only when Feng Ziying explained in detail and answered the other party's questions straightforwardly that they really understood the meaning here.

But even so, whether it was Jia Lian or Duan Xigui, as well as the maritime businessmen present, they still couldn't really understand the true meaning of this meeting, so that they would have to wait until many years later to slowly taste the true flavor of it.

The meeting lasted until two o'clock.

is really too enthusiastic, in the face of such a rare opportunity, businessmen from the three places want to ask all the questions in their stomachs clearly, and some questions are even beyond Feng Ziying's imagination.

Lying on the easy chair, Feng Ziying took the Jianlian red date soup handed by Zijuan, took a big sip, felt that it was not enough, and drank it clean in one go, then took the hot towel handed over by Yu Chu'er and wiped her face, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Uncle still needs to pay attention to his body, work like this, don't get tired and sick." Zijuan took the bowl with concern and asked again, "What else does Uncle need to eat?" ”

"I'm too hungry, I don't have much appetite, Zijuan, go and bring two plates of tea and fruit from your girl's side, and after a while, Second Brother Lian and his cousin will send the guests away, and they have to come over, they are all untouched, and they are probably hungry." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "Let Ruixiang go and invite Wenyan over." ”

I knew that I had brought Jin Chu'er, Yunshang and Xiangling, and Feng Ziying realized at this time that it was inconvenient to work here, and there were few people who could do it, whether it was work or life, it was very inconvenient.

When Wang Wenyan arrived, Jia Lian and Duan Xigui had just returned to the flower hall in the courtyard after sending the guests away.

Zijuan had already brought the tea fruit and tea together.

Jia Lian is better, after all, Zijuan is next to the old lady, and he also grew up, but Wang Wenyan and Duan Xigui didn't dare to slack off, and thanked them politely.

This one is not only Miss Lin's personal maid, but also has a high probability of being taken in by Feng Ziying as a concubine in the future.

"Second Brother Lian, cousin, how do you feel?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

If there is no one around, then there can only be no general Liao in Shu to become a pioneer.

However, Jia Lian and Duan Xigui performed well today, and they were okay in terms of proportion, neither arrogant nor groveling, all in all, they maintained their dignity.

"It's still a little unbearable, well, we've seen this thing, and we understand the general meaning, but when it comes to some specific details, it's a little uncertain, for example, since this is a rule set by the imperial court, why do you have to ask for their consent?"

Jia Lian is not stupid, and after years of experience, he may not have such a long-term vision, but these are obviously not in line with common sense, and he thinks there must be a reason.

Feng Ziying smiled slightly and glanced at Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan understood the meaning and nodded: "Lord Jia, this is the first time to collect the concession money, and the princes of the imperial court also have a task for the lord before he leaves, but these businessmen are not stupid, and naturally want to get the amount of the concession and the number of households in the future, the amount and duration of the concession, and the number of new households are naturally closely related, so they should be willing to take out the silver this time, and to ensure that it is in place at one time, there must naturally be a guarantee,......

Jia Lian seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he probably understands that he must collect enough money this time, which is to give an account to the court, and there can be no mistakes.

In fact, there is another meaning behind this, and Wang Wenyan may not be clear.

"The concession money must be ensured, the trilateral military affairs and Fushazhou and Hami are very needed, and Liaodong and Xuanda also need considerable supplies, and this silver is to fill this hole." Feng Ziying did not hide a few people, "And the proceeds of the debt are the ,...... used to build the naval fleet with Denglai and Liaonan Sea Defense."

Before the silver arrived, it had already been distributed, and Feng Ziying was also very helpless, but if it wasn't for that, what qualifications would he have to take on such a big matter, didn't he think he could get the silver back for the imperial court?

If he wants to gain more and more power in the future, then this time he must do it beautifully, leaving people speechless, even beyond their expectations.

"Cousin, according to the preliminary estimate, how much will you receive?"

One sentence made Wang Wenyan and Jia Lian prick up their ears, Duan Xigui's calculation ability is outstanding, and after several years of arithmetic practice, his mental arithmetic ability is ranked first in the world.
