Chapter 316 Fight with us, he's still tender
On the first day, Yang Dudu's anti-smuggling team blocked two merchant ships, one to Luzon and the other to Zhejiang......
After all, this season can only go south.
The two merchant ships opened the jackpot for Yang Xin's barricade toll business, earning more than 2,000 taels a day, and this is only the export tax for the Ming merchant ships to go to sea, and the next surging Nanyang merchant ships have opened the door of a silver mountain in front of him.
And then......
Then Guangzhou exploded.
"Yang Yanshi, why hasn't the old man heard about it?"
Chen Bangzhan, the governor of Liangguang, asked with a gloomy face.
Wu Zhongwei and others next to him were surrounding the new tax law, their faces were gloomy, and their eyes were all as murderous as if they had been robbed of their bones, especially Li Shuyuan and Hong Xianruo, the two Fujianese, who could clearly see that they were constantly inhaling, as if two air-cooled engines needed to cool down.
They finally understood what Yang Xin, a traitor, was doing in Guangdong.
This is here to rob Ming!
This is to rob everyone of the money in their pockets.
"Chen Dutang, this holy decree of Guangzhou's tax package was issued last year, right?"
Yang Huan said indifferently with a teacup in his hand.
Chen Bangzhan did not answer him.
"Since this holy decree has been sent to Guangzhou, and you haven't taken it out for almost a year, then don't blame us for finding another way."
Yang Huan said.
"Guangzhou's annual tax is only 40,000 yuan, but the holy decree is to be contracted out of 400,000 yuan, how can such a huge contract fee be covered, and the tax contractor can't fill it in by himself, right?"
Wu Zhongwei said.
"We don't have too much.
My uncle was willing to pay 400,000 yuan to contract the Guangzhou Customs for one year.
You think 400,000 is too high, but my uncle thinks that 400,000 is still profitable, since there is no one in Guangzhou, then his old man sacrificed himself for the country for the Ming Dynasty's tax career, and traveled thousands of miles to contract Guangzhou Customs.
According to the previous decree, the tax contractor has the right to formulate its own tax law, and all merchant ships going to sea from Guangdong are subject to the Guangdong Customs to formulate tax laws, collect taxes, and suppress smuggling. Now that this tax law has been formulated and implemented, the original tax introduction in Guangzhou, the water salary, the additional tax on the Luzon ship, and the export tax of the 36 lines have all stopped, and the original inventory inspection at the deputy envoy of the sea route is no longer necessary.
In the future, when Fanbo goes to Macao, there will be no need for Xiangshan County, Haiphong Tongzhi, and the deputy envoy of Haidao will send someone to inspect and draw points.
In short, the original taxes on overseas trade have been stopped! ”
Yang Huan said with a smile.
"Stopped? Yang Yanshi said lightly, who will raise these water masters? Where does the silver come from in Jingjiang Palace? ”
Li Shuyuan said angrily.
"The sailor doesn't have to worry about you."
Yang Huan said.
"My uncle is still the governor of coastal military affairs, this sailor is also my uncle's subordinate, he will not starve the sailor's brothers, as for the silver of the Jingjiang Palace, let them consult with my uncle, in short, you don't need to worry about this customs matter." In addition, there are a few things for you here, my uncle said that he doesn't believe in these things, but since there is this thing, we Jinyiwei still can't ignore it after all, in short, please rest assured, our Jinyiwei are impartial law enforcement, will not wronged a good person, and will not let go of a bad person. ”
Yang Huan said as he took a small box from his subordinates, and then put it on the table with a weird smile, and then got up and walked away under the gloomy gaze of a group of adults.
"Dutang, how is this good?"
Zhou Guangxie watched his back disappear, and then hurriedly asked Chen Bangzhan.
"Dutang, we all point to this customs in Guangdong, and let this traitor make a fuss, it will be all over."
Li Shuyuan said.
He also has a lot of goods in Macau.
Although he is a native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou can not go to the sea to trade, can only go to the nearest Yuegang, but Yuegang is not a good place like Macao, most of the Fujian merchants are doing business in Macao, there are even more Fujian merchants than Guangdong, but craftsmen, hawkers, employees more Guangdong.
His family also had a business in Macau, a warehouse, hoarding goods waiting for Portuguese ships to come.
And it's smuggling.
The Fujian merchants in Macao were all smugglers.
If you don't smuggle, you will go to Yuegang, so why go to Macao.
In fact, the first to develop Macao was not the Portuguese, but Yan Qisheng, a native of Zhangzhou who also traded and robbed during the sea ban, this guy has been smuggling in Macao since the Tianshun period, in a sense, Macao was first developed from the trading base of Fujian merchants, so it is actually the Portuguese and Fujianese who control Macao now, which is why Zheng Zhilong's uncle will be there.
The smugglers in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou are actually all there.
But what now? Yang Xin wants to collect taxes, and the tax rate is not as good as going to Yuegang, but the problem is that he can't go if he wants to go now.
"Dutang, you have to call the shots for the people of Guangdong, this dog thing is making trouble, how do the people of the thirty-six lines do business."
Wu Zhongwei said.
He actually wanted to say that what did the thirty-six lines do to give us money back?
The Ming Dynasty exported millions of taels of goods from Guangzhou a year, and the statutory tax of one out of ten was drawn, and 20,000 taels were drawn in the last year, and it was compulsorily apportioned, so where did the remaining hundreds of thousands go, of course, it was not the profit of the tooth shop. Thirty-six lines are at best a bone to drink some soup, and the meat is in the hands of officials at all levels from top to bottom, which governor of Liangguang has not rolled hundreds of thousands of taels home for three years?
Can ...... now
Why do they give them money?
They are not responsible for collecting taxes again, and if they want to bribe, they have to bribe Yang Dudu.
However, Yang Dudu is tax-inclusive, so Yang Dudu does not need bribes, and the taxes paid are his, but he is cool on his side, and these officials up and down in Guangzhou are all crying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since Yang Dudu is willing to do it for him, why don't I do it, I am over sixty years old, and since I received the holy decree of His Majesty to package taxes, I have been worried all night, and I am worried about how to do this, but I don't want Yang Dudu to be selfless and travel thousands of miles to contract this customs, we should be pleased. As for whether Yang Dudu's tax rate is reasonable or not has nothing to do with us, since the customs has contracted for him, he naturally has the power to set the tax law, and all we need to do is to do what we should do.
If I shouldn't be in charge, don't care.
As for the taxes collected before, they should be cancelled in relation to the customs, and those that have nothing to do with the customs are not the business of Yang Dudu.
Anyway, let's talk about it.
The old man is old and a little difficult, so I won't accompany you, as for this box of things, let's put it there first. ”
Chen Bangzhan said.
After saying that, he picked up the small box, stood up and walked outside.
"Metropolitan ......"
Li Shuyuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wu Zhongwei.
Chen Bangzhan just left, and then Li Shuyuan looked at Wu Zhongwei with an inquiring gaze.
As for what is inside the small box, everyone knows this, Chen Bangzhan is the deputy imperial envoy, and he has the right to dispose of this kind of thing.
"Dutang is right, this is indeed related to the customs should be canceled, but this has nothing to do with the customs, so Yang Dudu can't ask for it indiscriminately."
Wu Zhongwei said.
"But there is nothing to do with customs."
Zhou Guangxie said.
He understood what Wu Zhongwei meant, Yang Xin received Yang Xin's, and this side received it, and finally forced the businessman to desperately fight with Yang Xin, or increase smuggling, in the end, as long as Yang Xin's income in the customs this year does not reach 400,000 taels, he will naturally not be able to play, not to mention that the cost of raising those subordinates is also in the maritime trade.
The contract fee of 400,000 taels.
In addition, those who feed that fleet will probably have to pay back at least 600,000.
As long as he can't collect these taxes, Yang Xin is not doing good deeds, and he won't continue to fill in the money if he can't earn money.
"He said that the abolition of the tooth shop, the abolition of the ship, and the abolition of free trade of all merchants, he does not have this power, and those merchants who go to sea to buy goods outside Macao, this tax must also be paid, which is not up to him in the final analysis. I will post this tax law to him, and tell the gentry who rely on overseas trade that this year's ship will be reissued, and the original one will be cancelled, and tell the people of the 36th line, the 36th line will continue as usual, and send people to strictly investigate in Humen and various passes, except for the people of the 36th line, who will transport goods to Macao and catch it for smuggling.
Let the people of the 36th line understand that Yang Xin is our common enemy.
If they are not sensible, then we have to change people, and the thirty-six lines do not mean that they have to do it in the thirty-six families.
There is something I want to do in Guangzhou.
In addition, didn't he say that he would let King Jingjiang find him? Then stop the silver in the Jingjiang Palace's mansion this year, and let them go to him to ask for it.
And also.
Let the people of the rice shop stop the official bargaining against Macau.
Let's just say that Guangzhou is short of food, and they can't take care of the Yi people, so they can find their own way, inform the prefectures and counties to strictly investigate the white guns, and inform the gentry from all over the country, Yang Xin will not be good if he does not drive anyone away, and he must not be greedy for temporary profits, at this time, he needs to sincerely unite and work together to drive this dog thing out of Guangdong, and whoever dares to smuggle grain to Macao, then don't blame us for being polite. ”
Wu Zhongwei said.
"High, really high!"
Zhou Guangxie said.
This is to cut off food for Yang Xin.
On the one hand, there is a shortage of food, on the other hand, there is a disturbance among the people of the Jingjiang Palace, and those businessmen are crazy smuggling, see how Yang Xin copes with these.
The thirty-six lines are the thirty-six companies that have the right to export to foreign countries, but whether to give this concession depends on the city shipping department, and then the foreign merchant ships come and hand over the silver to the city shipping department, and they negotiate the price and quantity under the auspices of the city shipping department to receive the silver for the goods. In the past, when there were tax eunuchs and eunuchs, the tax eunuchs controlled the whole process, but after the eunuchs were recalled, the political envoys controlled the entire process, and the 36 lines all relied on the political envoys to reward them with food, and they had to do what they were told to do.
"Fight with us, he's still a little tender!"
Fang Zhongwei sneered.
"But what should I do?"
Li Shuyuan said anxiously on the side.
"Duanhe, brother, it's just a little bit of silver loss, as long as we drive this dog thing out of Guangzhou, it won't be the same as usual in the future."
Fang Zhongwei said.
"Heavenly calamity, how did you give birth to such a traitor!"
Political envoy Li Youbu sighed sadly.
