Since Shen Wansan got involved, the soap business, which was originally a bit sluggish, has suddenly boomed again, and sales have become no longer a problem. There are wars going on everywhere in the land of China, and I don't know how this guy was sold, anyway, Ma Du can only be in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

I heard that he also sold it to the palace in Dadu, according to the feedback of his family's big steward in Dadu, the ladies in the palace like soap, and Emperor Zhizheng likes the smell of orchids.

really convinced him, if Shen Wansan builds an intelligence network, it really won't be too bad. Just like Zhang Shicheng didn't know Ma Du's detailed information at the beginning, Shen Wansan could touch Ma Du's door.

During this period, the Ma family also had many traditional businesses, such as restaurants, grocery stores, silk shops and the like. Of course, these have nothing to do with Ma Du, so he will not make up these businesses with big profits and small profits, all of which Xu Xiaopei made with Song Shuang's dowry.

Ma Du was fortunate to see Xu Xiaopei talk about business with people once, it really brought her poisonous tongue to the extreme, obviously a very good silk, but she can pick out all kinds of faults from textiles, colors, printing and dyeing, packaging, but the other party can only wipe the sweat and nod again and again, and the price is naturally very low by her.

Ma Du thinks that he doesn't have this ability, it is said that this is all thanks to the experience she gained from shopping with Song Shuang all over the world, this is the skill of the gentleman, she and Song Shuang are the two big gentlemen.

As soon as the business was on the right track, this little lady became the shopkeeper who shook her hands, and every day the maid seemed to have to serve Song Shuang to eat, drink, and sleep, and Bimadu, who was a husband, was concerned.

If she is not a woman, Ma Du really suspects that Song Shuang's belly is her child, Song Shuang is a fool and has a fool's luck, and some such girlfriends must have accumulated virtue in their previous lives.

The first batch of glasses was finally gathered, a full five thousand, and when Shen Wansan saw the crystal clear of the warehouse, he was about to go crazy, and he shouted that he had made a fortune.

The glass cups were wrapped in silk and put into a beautiful brocade box, packed into a large wooden box, and then loaded onto the ship and sent to Songjiang, and then Ma Du took Shen Wansan to the yamen to pay taxes.

That's right, it's to go to taxes! So far, Lao Zhu has not banned the sea, nor has he banned sea trade. However, he has not yet tasted the sweetness of sea trade. It's too easy to smuggle along the vast coastline, and he can't care about the sea before he cleans it up on land.

Shen Wansan didn't want to pay taxes, not that he was reluctant to give up a few taxes, he didn't want to expose himself to the sea trade business, and it would be inconvenient to smuggle after being targeted.

But Ma Du wanted Lao Zhu to taste the sweetness of sea trade, he didn't want Lao Zhu to ban the sea, once the sea was forbidden, he would be restrained in whatever he did, that was his last retreat.

Some people say that the reason why Lao Zhu banned the sea except for pirates was because Lao Zhu wanted to monopolize the sea trade rights in the form of tribute. Madu felt the situation at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu can't eat much even if he swallows it alone, imagine that the tax at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was only a few hundred thousand taels, otherwise how could he easily close the city.

So Ma Du wants to cut the big fat meat of Haimao and hand it to Lao Zhu's mouth, so that he can't stop eating, the cheap brother-in-law is actually very money-loving, and the pirate is a fart in the face of huge interests.

Paying taxes is more troublesome than Ma Du imagined, at first glance, it seems that it is a lord who pays taxes, or the brother-in-law of the prince, and the government and county officials dare not collect it, and the first question asked by the secretary office of the yamen is, "The lord still needs to pay taxes?" ”

Isn't it necessary? Ma Du later asked the shopkeeper of the family's shop, and he really hadn't paid taxes, not even the family's land. No one in the county dares to collect taxes when he opens a shop, let alone a lord.

Ma Du took Shen Wansan out of the mansion and went to the house in Zhongshu Province. Lao Zhu is not short of food, but the money in his hand has not been very relaxed, and the people in the house are under great pressure, and he is naturally happy to hear that someone has taken the initiative to pay taxes. But in the last investigation, I didn't have this function, and I didn't even have a charter to follow.

In order to pay the tax, Ma Du passed all the way and ran under Li Shanchang's nose.

Li Shanchang was furious, and the first sentence he said had nothing to do with taxes, "You sold such a glass cup for fifty taels." As he spoke, he glared at Shen Wansan fiercely.

Ma Du sat on the chair and shook Erlang's legs, holding the tea bowl in his hand, "Then Li Xiangguo said that how much is the right price for the cover?" Five hundred taels? Or a thousand taels? What he does is sea trade is risky, and those Fanbang barbarians are not fools without brains, so he must make his risk worthwhile and make a profit. ”

Li Shanchang smiled and said, "It's you kid who wants to make money." ”

Ma Du put down the tea bowl and nodded, "That's right, it's my share inside." ”

"You said that you want so much money to do what, in the future, you will be a relative of the emperor and have a title, and you are afraid that your children and grandchildren will starve to death, if your children and grandchildren do not keep more money, it will be useless." Lao Li's words are good, and I forgot who was lifeless and wanted to invest in the glaze workshop before.

Ma Du only said: "If Li Gong is interested in sea trade, he can also get a few sea boats, and as for personnel training, he can do it." Ma Du pointed to Shen Wansan, who was standing on the side with a smile on his face.

Li Shanchang smiled disdainfully, "The old man is crazy and follows you to the sea to fish for silver, and when I look back, remember to send the profits of this single business to the old man's mansion, which will not be less than 20,000 taels." ”

Shen Wansan smiled and said: "The villain has a jade Buddha in his hand, I heard that it is an antiquity of the Tang Dynasty, the villain doesn't know whether it is true or not, and I will send it to the Xiangguo Mansion together and please be sure to help appreciate it." ”

Li Shanchang waved his hand impatiently, "Go, where can the old man's mansion accommodate businessmen to enter the door." ”

Ma Du glanced at Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan bowed and retreated, "Gong Li, do you have anything to ask the junior?" ”

Li Shanchang said: "How can Xuanzhong not put the glass cup on the market, so that a few of us can also taste some sweetness." ”

"Li Gong asked knowingly, how can you not understand that you have been preparing grain, grass and military supplies for the prince for many years, and the younger generation is afraid of messing up the market. I don't care what the situation of those Fanbang barbarians is, but the prince's good things are coming, if there is a mess in the market, I am afraid of losing my head. ”

At present, the variety of glassware is still very simple, and the manufacturing is not mature, and for reasons of secrecy, Mado has no intention of expanding the scale. If a large amount of money is poured into Yingtian because of glassware, it can only be speculative hot money, which is definitely a shock to the already fragile economic environment.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said, "It's good that you know, I won't say more." As for the tax you have to pay, it will be handled by the household according to the ordinary commercial tax! ”

Ma Du also obeyed Lao Li, how could this kind of tariff be according to ordinary commercial taxes.

Seeing that Ma Du didn't leave, Li Shanchang said again: "Why don't you leave, do you still want the old man to take care of the food?" ”

Ma Du got up and arched his hand, "Isn't Gong Li going to suggest that the prince add a city division?" ”

Li Shanchang smiled bitterly, "Is it just to collect taxes from you to get a yamen?" ”
