Chapter 198 finally understood

After listening to Guo Kedao's introduction, Qin Bai was completely convinced, it turned out that this thing can be bought and sold publicly?

What I didn't expect to be even more strange is that there is still after-sales service. The shop that borrowed Beijing bonds, although it was unwilling to lend money, was willing to make a guarantee. If Ding Yuanxin defaults, the store will be responsible for recovery. Of course, all expenses incurred in the recovery will be borne by the tax packager. The store will charge a guarantee fee of 3,000 taels.

This shop has the background of a celebrant and is a relatively reputable time-honored brand. The chief eunuch of the celebrant may have changed people frequently, but the yamen of the celebrant has always existed. So you can rest assured that they are doing business for the long haul. But is the cost of recovery worth it? It has nothing to do with the store.

That is, it only served as a deterrent. If the tax collector chooses to die and the net is broken, Ding Yuanxin will not be able to benefit in the end. But again, the risks are extremely high, and the benefits are ...... So be it! After all, Ding Yuanxin is Lingshanwei's head snake, and if he is really ready to play any tricks, it will be enough to give people a headache.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this reason that the choice of tax contractors is quite narrow. First of all, if you have money, if you can't get the money, isn't that nonsense? The second best thing is the locals. Otherwise, no matter how much silver there is, who wants to touch those snakes? Finally, it is necessary to have a certain amount of power, but not too much power. If the two sides are not equal, then there is no way to cooperate, and no one dares to rest assured. In the final analysis, such a tax collector is also quite difficult to find.

In Lingshanwei, Guo Kedao belongs to the Ding family's family of soldiers, generals, and belongs to his ancestors, who have been cronies for generations. Since something happened to the lord's family, then the cronies should think of more ways.

So Guo Kedao found Qin Bai: "Second Brother Bai, in fact, this matter is also good for your victory." After all, those wastelands are not on the acre book of the guardhouse, and as much as you want, they can be allocated to you. The harvest may not be high, but at least it can collect rent. If it really doesn't work, those wild grasses can still be burned to boil salt. But there is one place that has to be said, how to sell it? It's up to you! In addition, the share of the guard is indispensable! ”

Guo Kedao still has that kind of inherent thinking. He believes that the reason why Qin Bai bought land is nothing more than to be a big landlord. Since this is the case, then Lingshanwei doesn't care about giving more out, anyway, it's all useless saline-alkali land. As for whether you can farm? Does it matter so much? Isn't there still that right to tax? If you can't collect your taxes, who is to blame?

Regarding that money, Guo Kedao also had nothing to hide. Among them, 3,000 taels is the store's guarantee fee, and 1,000 taels is Guo Kedao's errand fee, as for the 20,000 taels of the Ding family, it can still be discussed. However, it is difficult to reduce the price, that is, it is possible to put forward some conditions that are not too excessive.

To be honest, at the beginning, Qin Bai was ready to refuse, because this matter was too ridiculous.

However, hearing this, Qin Bai was slightly moved.

If you think about it, this is definitely a big pit, and after jumping into it, there is a chance that you will lose all your money. Tax-inclusive rights? Still buying and selling privately? No matter how unspoken the rules are, it is impossible to put them on the table, will it be possible to find the imperial court to uphold justice in the future? That's definitely going to the door and begging for a beheading! That must be a private solution. At the end of the day, it's all about who has the big fist!

However, no matter how big the fist is, the people do not fight with the officials! Who would dare to threaten a guard commander? Isn't that a rebellion?

Therefore, the 24,000 taels, if that Ding Yuanxin still wants to save face, he may be able to recover a little capital; If he is completely shameless, it will definitely be a loss of money, and the silver will be thrown into the water.

But on the other hand, Qin Bai's appeal is not a tax-inclusive right at all. What he wants is a base area, a way out, if it can be built justifiably, then is it worth the money?

So Qin Bai began to test it, wanting to test Lingshanwei's bottom line. But the result surprised him again, Qin Bai thought it was a very important thing, but Guo Kedao thought it was not worth mentioning at all.

“…… Second Brother Bai, do you want to build a Zhuangzi? Is that easy? In fact, it is better not to call it a village, a town, or a fort. The fort is large and small, and there are no regulations in the army. There is a large fort of 10,000 people in the border pass, and there are also a small fort where a few people look out at the beacon fire. This is inconspicuous, and it is an official document from the guard to the military preparation yamen. Our guard house is self-financed, and we don't use the imperial court to divide money and food, so there is no reason not to approve it, just to prevent the sea from being banned! Moreover, there are still a lot of materials left in the guard house that used to build the city, and they can be sold to you cheaper. ”

“…… That's right, your Qingdao Fort can give you two general flags, ten small flags, and 100 military households. But half of it is up to us to distribute it. I won't hide it from you, my brother will also balance it up and down, and he can also receive some benefits. The errand fee can be charged less, how about 800 taels? But if you have to say it first, your people must also be registered in the military at the guard. If they don't want to, then we'll have to come. ”

“…… You can give you all the land, you can do whatever you want, and we can make a contract. Those uninhabited islands can also be given to you. ”

“…… Dock? If you want to build, of course you can. Then it is decided, and the seven ships of the guard will be placed on your dock in the future. Oh, now there are only five, and you have two more to fill. However, the five small flags of Cao Zhou need to be provided by you, and after the incident of the Dragon King, no one in our guard will be willing to go to the sea! ”

“…… You can rest assured. In the future, you will represent Commander Ding outside, are you still afraid that you will not find anyone to work in the guard? Besides, you're not not being paid! ”

“……”

In the end, Qin Bai finally understood.

The coastal zone, which modern people attach the most importance to, was synonymous with barrenness and misery at this time in the Ming Dynasty; The most important sea transport for modern people is to fear it like a tiger at this time, except that they really can't live, few people are willing to go to sea; And those that are valued in this era, in addition to land, are land, and it is land that can be cultivated. Otherwise, in their eyes, it is completely worthless!

Since this is the case, then Qin Bai is not welcome. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, a large piece of wasteland was coming, the land of the dock and the harbor was coming, the military household was coming, and the nominal seven sea ships were coming.

You know, the ban on the sea is not fully open. Except for Quanzhou Yuegang, which is open to the sea, there are no other seaports where seagoing ships can be berthed, except for those private ports. On the contrary, Qingdao Fort, which has become a military port of the imperial court, and the sea ships have also become the warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division, which can be justified in going to sea.

At this time, Qin Bai hadn't thought about doing anything maritime at all, but at least this back road suddenly became lively!
