Fan Sheng said helplessly: "There is a reason why many of the ministers' large transactions are biased towards the first class of the Didian, because they can afford to take the risk, and if the merchant below the third class has an accident at sea, it will be a ruined family." Please also ask the official family to be clear. ”

First-class businessmen are indeed more resistant to risks, and ordinary businessmen are involved in overseas bulk transactions, and it is easy to ruin their homes and kill people, Zhao Huan looked at Zazi again.

In Zhao Huan's opinion, Fan Sheng is indeed too deeply involved with first-class businessmen, but most of the content involved involves high-profit, high-return, and high-risk offshore transactions.

For example, if you go to the Wa Kingdom and return to Yi, you can make more than ten times the profit of a trip, but it is also possible that the boat will capsize and there will be nothing left.

Zhao Huan asked Zhao Ying to get the customs declaration form, and found that the probability of an accident on a large ship of thousands of materials in and out was as high as 30%.

Zhao Huan studied for a long time before he said with a little suspicion: "In other words, the bigger the ship, the less risky it is?" I've seen a ship with a thousand ingredients that is most prone to accidents. ”

Fan Sheng nodded: "The matter of sea trade is indeed that the bigger the ship, the less likely it is to sink the ship, even if it leaks, just close it." I can also drive to the Wa country or the Champong city, and I am carrying out maintenance when I get to the shore. ”

"So the officials want to build big ships, and the people also need big ships, but now the only 5,000-material big ship, the Mulan boat, has to do all kinds of nautical experiments."

Only then did Zhao Huan discover that Fan Sheng's seemingly unfair protection was precisely the businessman who was not very wealthy.

They really can't afford to lose.

Fan Sheng wiped the sweat from his head, and the official finally listened to what he was saying.

"The minister also made some restrictions on some ordinary trade of first-class merchants in Jinkou, such as bulk, wholesale, purchase, etc., all of which restricted first-class and third-class merchants, and gave profits to small merchants, after all, big merchants have made enough profits at sea, so they can't compete with small merchants."

"But the lion's share of the profits is, after all, in the sea trade, alas."

"The minister also designed a set of means of reporting, reporting first-class businessmen and ground bulk, but there are some effects, and on the last page are some results of specific punishment for first- to third-class businessmen."

Zhao Huan took Zhao Ying to the end, and there were indeed traces of punishing high-ranking businessmen who violated the rules.

Fan Sheng said helplessly: "The minister has done his job, and he has to be scolded, the huge profits of the sea trade make them greedy, but they can't afford to lose, and the minister is worried." ”

"At the beginning, there were several cases of a family going to the sea in Jinkou, that is, the head of the family went to the sea to fight for his life and capsized the boat and sank into the sea, and the family had no livelihood, so the whole family went to the sea directly, and the minister banned small businessmen from participating in maritime trade."

"This has become a high-class merchant in their eyes."

Zhao Huan put the notebook on a few cases, glanced at Zhao Ying, and asked Zhao Ying to continue to investigate whether what Fan Sheng said was true.

He pointed to the group of businessmen behind Fan Sheng and said, "Then don't you see that the businessmen standing behind you are first-class businessmen?" It is strange that you mingle with them every day, and the people do not misunderstand you. ”

Fan Sheng was about to kneel down again, but after being stopped by Zhao Huan, he explained: "They are all merchants who hold international exhibitions for officials, and there are also merchants from Goryeo, Wa, and Zhancheng, and even Sogdians who are looking for the country." The minister rarely had private contact with them on weekdays. ”

"Then why did you tell these first-class businessmen about the news that I came to Jinkou?" Zhao Huan threw out his last question.

Fan Sheng's face changed from panic to surprise, and then said, "Isn't this what the official family meant?" ”

"I told you! It is strictly forbidden to disturb the people. Zhao Huan looked at Fan Sheng and said sternly.

Fan Sheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Isn't this the usual practice?" ”

"What do you mean??" Zhao Huan always felt that the current dialogue between the two of them was not on the same line at all.

The donkey's lips are not to the horse's mouth.

After Zhao Ying left, Sun Li stood up, he obviously understood the meaning of the awkward conversation between the two people, and his eyes were full of anxiety. But he didn't dare to say what it meant.

He rolled his eyes, and ran to find Zhao Ying to come back.

Zhao Ying went to investigate what Fan Sheng did, and the place she went to was naturally the most crowded teahouse.

Zhao Ying, who is often in service, looks a bit like the big housekeeper of a rich family, and carefully chats with many tea guests in the teahouse.

Learn what Fan Sheng did.

"There is this brother Lao, that is to say, if our family wants to buy and sell rouge gouache in Jinkou, we only need to go to the government to report, and there is a third-class or above merchant certificate with a residence shop certificate?" Zhao Ying casually found a tea guest from a tea house and invited him to a cup of tea, and the talkative Jinkou people naturally had something to say.

The tea guest on the other side nodded thoughtfully: "What's the matter, can he still hold on to you and not let you do business?" ”

Zhao Ying asked without changing his face: "Don't you need to send him some money for Fan Sheng?" The head of my family is a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan, and he has money. A certain person in Jiangnan asked this Fan Sheng is a glutton, and he has a great appetite. ”

This tea guest is not too gorgeously dressed, as if he is not a rich family, and when he heard Zhao Ying say this, he also laughed.

After laughing, the tea guest shook his head and said: "It's not the first time I've heard of this official's words, it's rumored that Fan Sheng has a big appetite in Jiangnan, and if he doesn't send him money, he can't mix in Jinkou, but in fact, it's not." Is it unfair for him to do things, let Li Haoshang be true, how many times has he been blamed? But there was no such thing as greed for money. ”

"You don't look at how far Jinkou is from Yanjing, the official family is in Yanjing, he is greedy for money today, and he will be arrested by the official family tomorrow as a model. The captains of those retired soldiers are not dry meals. It's amazing. ”

"It's not that Fan Sheng ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he didn't dare to give him a hundred guts."

Zhao Ying wanted to ask again, but he was stopped by Sun Li and told Zhao Ying about the conversation in Shangshanlou now.

As soon as the tea guest saw Sun Li running from the direction of Shangshan Building, he knew that this might really be a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan.

"This big official, you can rest assured that you are doing business in Jinkou! That Fan Sheng dares to openly ask for your money, you just need to stand in this teahouse and shout, Ming, the emperor of our Great Song Dynasty will take Fan Sheng! The tea guest said a lot of various conveniences from all over the world, aiming to persuade Zhao Ying to settle down.

Zhao Ying listened to his self-proclaimed words, nodded, left the teahouse, and walked towards Shangshan Building.

Sun Li followed Zhao Ying step by step and listened to Zhao Ying's tips on how to do things for the official family.

Zhao Ying walked back to Shangshan Building briskly, and said, "This tea guest is from Zhejiang, and the official pronunciation is not accurate. ”

But he agrees with Jinkou from the bottom of his heart, opening and closing his mouth is the benefit of Jinkou, for fear that we will not do business with them. This sense of identity is not easy. ”

"The official family asked us to investigate whether he Fan Sheng did a good job or not, and look at the words of these businessmen and wanderers, which can best reflect the problem, so pay more attention to what to do, think more, and always think of a way."

Zhao Ying hurried back to Shangshan Building, whispered to Zhao Huan, and said his understanding of the matter in Jinkou.

"Official, as for what Fan Sheng said, the minister thinks what he said makes sense." Zhao Ying carefully expressed her opinion.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying suspiciously and said, "That means I let him disturb the people, and I asked him to spread the news?" Outrageous! I strictly decree that the people must not be disturbed! ”

Zhao Ying whispered with some embarrassment: "In the past, when Emperor Nanxing was the emperor, he liked to say this, the stricter the order, the more prepared the local officials must be, and the higher the standard of reception." ”

"It's all a rule in officialdom."

Zhao Huan's eyes widened, and there was such an operation?!

Zhao Ying nodded helplessly and said: "In the second year of Xuanhe, the Emperor Taishang was fortunate to be in Jinan Mansion, Jinan Mansion Yin, I didn't know such rules, according to Emperor Taishang's simple orders, I prepared a simple welcome and hospitality, and before the Emperor Taishang walked out of Jinan Mansion, this Mansion Yin was demoted to Lingnan. ”

"Or Li Bangyan is shrewd, when the Emperor Taiguan was three years old, the Emperor Taishang inspected the two Zhejiang, and when he walked to Yuhang, Li Bangyan prepared thirty-eight dishes, and seventy-two dancing girls entertained the Emperor, and the Emperor Taishang was happy, and he was promoted to Beijing."

Zhao Huan looked left and right, and everyone lowered their heads, pretending not to hear this.

Zhao Huan looked at Chen Zimei, and then thought that the first time he saw Chen Chong, Chen Chong was going to give him a high-quality thin horse.

The group of county governors didn't do anything, and went to Heyin County to meet them.

Feelings, this still has a historical origin?

The pit dug by Zhao Guangyi has not been filled yet, and the pit dug by Zhao Ji can't be filled, right?

Zhao Huan asked that group of first-class businessmen to get up, he was more anti-sensory business collusion, and he actually had a little bit of a relationship with the civil service system in his heart... It's not eye-catching.

It's disgusting for them to do it, so he subconsciously thinks that Fan Sheng is the same.

"Fan Sheng, I know you're in trouble right now. It's just that the small businessmen can't afford to pay for the sea trade, every time the sea trade is a gamble, and it is the life of the whole family, but they are eager to participate in this matter. Zhao Huan thought about it and said with a smile.

I misunderstood someone, so I helped him solve his urgent needs, which is considered to be clear.

"No, wealth is moving. This is also the reason why the minister has changed from Fan Qingtian at the beginning to the current Fan Dog's Tail Grass. Fan Sheng had helplessness and a hint of pain, he was the way he was now, and he was a little unable to cope with it when he went out of Beijing for the first time.

"You are like this, you have banned small cargo ships in the open sea, a total of dozens of cargo ships of 3,000 materials, and after running for two years, you will sink one, the big ship resists the wind and waves, and it is definitely imperative to eliminate the small ships in the open sea, and if you don't eliminate it today, you will have to eliminate it tomorrow." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

Fan Sheng cried and said with a sad face: "The ministers have also thought about this, so don't they want to scold me to death?" The small merchant doesn't have much goods, how can he load 3,000 materials? ”

"After you listen to me, then build a chamber of commerce, let the small businessmen unite and make a boat, the big ships in the province are empty, and the small boats are dangerous." Zhao Huan looked at Fan Sheng and said.

This idea was a powerful weapon for later generations to gallop the seas in England, and the establishment of a joint chamber of commerce made it possible to go to sea on a large scale.

With just a few nobles, the sun never sets.

Fan Sheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he clapped his hands vigorously: "In this way, the big ships at those airports can also be used." Wonderful! ”

"There's another trick, you come with your ears, I'll tell you." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

And the trick?

Fan Sheng, in his own opinion, there is almost no solution to the problem, is there any other way for the official family here?
