Chapter 226: The pressure on commerce and trade is too great

It wasn't until after the three-day holiday on Shangyuan Night that the Badaohe area entered the real working state again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

During the three days of Shangyuan Night, many craftsmen and even ordinary laborers really found the object of love.

Zhang Guoan happily saw men and women dating under the lanterns, and even some men took the initiative to show their love.

He laughed and didn't say anything, as long as they had a chance to socialize, nothing else.

Here, Zhang Guoan tried his best to cut the shackles of the Great Song Dynasty on those box soldiers, and deliberately made those box soldiers not comply with the previous requirements of the Great Song Dynasty for the box soldiers, but to abide by the regulations of Liuqiu Island.

If you violate the previous requirements for the van soldiers, you may not be punished, but if you violate the regulations of Zhang Guoan's bow, you will definitely be punished by corporal punishment or even hard labor by the Liuqiu Guards.

Those box leaders also slowly and completely fell to Zhang Guoan, in addition to the high salary that Zhang Guoan gave them, they also saw their future.

Three years, no, two more years, after which they can cultivate the land here, they can do business here, they can even start workshops and factories, even if they also build a Romanesque cement kiln?!

They saw how much money those who came here to set up workshops earned, and as the number of merchants or smugglers from the Great Song Dynasty came here to buy goods, they would surely make a lot of money.

The captain of Zhang Guoan has repeatedly said that they can act like others after the expiration of the contract!

That's where it comes in.

Even if these two dozen or so leaders want to return to their hometowns in two years, they can also go home with a lot of money.

In short, Zhang Guoan's huge surplus in the Great Song Dynasty or overseas trade made Liuqiu Island very sufficient, and of course he would not put it in a safe or support other countries. It is resolutely exchanged for materials and distributed to every worker as wages.

This indirectly led to more and more small traders coming here in groups, so that in the end, they had to attract larger merchants.

For example, Liuqiu glass was insufficient, so Zhang Guoan had to suspend the supply to the merchants and make every effort to supply Liu Qianxing's sales.

Zhang Guoan understands that the giants of this time and space are very interested in the brightness of the room. The second is that it may be the effect of their desire to show off.

Well, Zhang Guoan had to reduce the output of liquor, increase the production of alcohol, and had to take the refining of camphor as the top priority, and even refused to directly export the finished camphor products, all of which were used to process celluloid!

There is no way, Liu Qianxing's orders have reached four figures.

This is not that Da Song is losing wealth, on the contrary, it is the tax department in charge of Da Song that is secretly happy. Because those who dare to buy luxury goods in large quantities are all money accumulated in the treasury of the giant merchants, without these luxury goods, those huge merchants are unwilling to take them out, so the commercial tax department will draw the tax.

Moreover, according to the money law of the Great Song Dynasty, more than a certain amount of copper coins will not be allowed to go to sea, so Zhang Guoan only received a large amount of paper money from Liu Qianxing.

He's not stupid either. I won't bring all the banknotes back to the stream, and most of them will be exchanged for materials and taken away. Even if it was to buy hundreds of stone cold water stones, it turned out to be a tax for the Commercial Tax Department.

This is also why, in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, only some officials criticized the current trend of people seeking luxury, but no one dared to propose to cut off the import of luxury goods.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty monopolized the operation. In addition to absolute daily necessities such as salt tea and national defense supplies, the rest are also luxuries, such as various spices, which are also for the increase of financial revenue.

Others, left for the business window and living space of maritime merchants or ordinary traders. It's still a lot, a lot.

Liu Qian Xingshou also had to order additional candles, and even the Great Song Dynasty government also followed the order, which they did not want to monopolize, but for daily use, and did not want to buy through the second dealer Liu Qian Xingshou and directly find the source of goods.

Zhang Guoan thought about it and decided to only supply the palace, and don't care about the rest! Push it away on the grounds of insufficient supply capacity!

What I didn't expect was that the Japanese side also added to the chaos.

Mihara Koi's action to personally buy a woman immediately had a greater effect than before, and in terms of quantity, it was already twice as many as before, a woman with four sea boats!

In addition to sea salt and leather, he also joined the ranks of buying Liuqiu glass and candles.

Zhang Guoan was more happy to see that among the women he brought back, the Goryeo region accounted for the majority.

The Japanese woman I brought last time still can't understand the Great Song dialect, so I can only use it as an indigenous woman and a black woman in East Africa, as well as a white woman, which is a bit wasteful.

The Goryeo area is good, it can be used directly, and you can listen to and speak the Great Song dialect.

Zhang Guoan said to the Japanese agent Mihara Koi: "Liuqiu glass is extremely expensive, and the candle is ten times that of ordinary candles, so there won't be much sales in Japan, right?" ”

The Japanese agent Mihara Koi immediately said at the time: "Exactly, where is the great Song Dynasty rich in Japan------ I just want to buy ------ for a few generals."

Zhang Guoan was a little happy and said, "You can even get in touch with your general there?!" ”

As mentioned earlier, the Kamakura period in Japan was the era of the samurai regime with Kamakura as the political center of the country.

The shogunate initially implemented the dictatorship of the shogun, and after three generations, power passed to the Hojo clan.

After the Shokushi War, the Hojo clan's collegial power regime reached its heyday.

At this time, the Kamakura shogunate and the Kyoto imperial court coexisted, and a dual rule was practiced.

The shogunate controlled the military and police power of the whole country by guarding and defending the land; The imperial court held the general administrative power of the whole country through the state department. At first evenly matched.

However, after the Shokugawa War, the imperial court was placed under constant and close surveillance by the shogunate, and the current government of the court was in name only, and the essence of the dual rule was becoming unified.

Just in July of this year, a three-year-old child will become a shogun of the Seiyi and become a Hojo-style puppet.

Therefore, as a retainer of the Mihara Imperial family, if Mihara Koi can get to know the general, even if it is a guard, it will be a good opportunity for Zhang Guoan.

Mihara Koi said inexplicably: "After I go home to the owner, I will directly hand over the goods, and of course the owner will arrange the sale------"

Zhang Guoan was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said: "In this way, I'll get you some first, and you can also look at the sales first, don't keep it in your hands." ”

Mihara Koi said gratefully: "Zhang Chuantou, don't worry about me, as long as the items that sell well in the Great Song Dynasty will definitely sell well in Japan------"

Well, what Mihara Koi said is true, the Japanese aristocracy has great respect for the products of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are indeed easy to sell.

Zhang Guoan said: "Then what are you going to exchange for besides using women?" ”

Zhang Guoan definitely doesn't want their folding fans, nor does he want their cotton and linen, which are not as good as those produced in the Great Song Dynasty.

"------ can be exchanged for Japanese paper and Japanese swords."

Zhang Guoan could only agree.

Zhang Guoan still needs their copper, but he is a little hesitant, should he tell him about the Foot Tail Copper Mountain and the Bezi Copper Mountain?

You must know that in the eighties of the 17th century, Japan became the world's largest exporter of copper products with these two copper mines. (To be continued.) )
