As early as the Yuan Dynasty, the town of Shanghai was already a very important port for trade and transportation, and the ships that transported grain and materials to Dadu by sea all set sail from Shanghai. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Zhu Houzhao chose to establish an economic town here is that there are many natural harbors here, which can meet the needs of the soon-to-be-baked Daming Shui Shi Tunzha, and on the other hand, this place is located between Zhejiang and Zhili, which is not too far from both sides. Although it is still a very remote town at this time, it will definitely not take much time to develop as soon as the sea ban is opened.

Ignoring how difficult it was for Yan Song to implement the commercial tax reform in the north, the five southern provinces have vigorously launched a wave of commercial tax reform.

The first response was the Mohists, a behemoth in the business world. Mo Yanei was quick to act, and soon announced that he would no longer give filial piety to officials at all levels, but pay silver taels to tax profits every month in accordance with the tax law set by Zhu Houzhao.

Once the tax money enters the treasury of each county, there will be a ledger record, so that those officials who want to reach out and ask for money will have to weigh the importance of the black gauze hat on their head or the silver.

The officials of the household department are all gluttonous reincarnators, once the silver is in their hands, it has always been easy to go in and difficult to come out.

Therefore, although the officials who lost the dividends and silver were red-eyed and gritted their teeth, they did not dare to go against the household. Instead, they set their eyes on the Mo family.

However, the movement of the Mo Ya is also quite fast, and before the officials began to embarrass the Mo family's business, the signs of the imperial merchants have been hung in front of the shops in various places, and even the holy decree has been enshrined in the lobby of the Mo family, and it is carved into an inscription covered with bright yellow silk cloth, standing at the entrance of the Mo family hall in various places.

The deterrent effect of this thing is not small, and many disgruntled officials are looking away.

But when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and some know the stakes, and naturally there are those who are not afraid of death.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao had nothing to do and accompanied the four girls to visit Jinling City. As the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, although the pattern of Jinling City is smaller than that of Beijing, it is better than Beijing City in a beautiful place, especially the prosperous Fusheng City is beyond the reach of Beijing City.

Although Zhu Houzhao has been to the south of the Yangtze River, he has never been to Jinling. In later generations, I heard that the pattern of Jinling City is very good, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu four elephants are complete, and the best feng shui is difficult to find in China.

Shopping with women is a chore, especially four women, and it's much more painful than fighting with an army.

Zhu Houzhao felt like a dog, being slipped by four women. It was easy to take a sip of tea on a tea beach, when I heard a noise coming from a silk shop where the women had entered, and it was obvious that she was causing some trouble again.

I regretted to put down the new tea before the rain that I only drank a sip, the best Biluochun, and the Hupao spring water that I just took in the morning.

I wanted to take a sip, but I finally gave up, after all, drinking tea is not drinking.

Zhu Houzhao walked into the silk shop, there were three layers up and down, and countless kinds of silk and satin hung from the beam, looking very shocking.

Zhu Houzhao went up to the second floor, and saw a few people dressed in squishy clothes pulling and pulling around the four girls, if it weren't for Yu Mingxiao struggling to stop it, the little queen mother's full conscience would have been caught a few times, and some people even moved on the flower marks.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word, and went up to kick the fiercest one who exchanged to the side, and then split his face and covered a few mouths with a five-finger mountain.

"Who are you?" A beaten man with a bloody mouth covered his face and shouted: "You dare to beat me, do you know who my father is?" ”

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "I don't know, do you know who my father is?" ”

Without waiting for the man to speak, Zhu Houzhao took Yu Mingxiao's hand and asked, "What's the matter?" Need me discount on how many legs? ”

Yuming Xiao Xing's eyes widened, obviously still angry about what happened just now: "As soon as these people saw us coming in, they started to use foul language, we ignored it, they actually had the audacity to come up and do something. ”

Zhu Houzhao turned around and shouted, "Shopkeeper, is your silk and satin leather calendar so messy?" ”

Immediately, a person with a festive appearance crawled out of the corner with his head and tail exposed, and said with a wry smile: "How can it, since the name of the imperial merchant is hung at the door of our silk village, there will often be gentlemen who come to make trouble, today is quite light, a few days ago this group of people also directly robbed the people's daughter, and they did a lot of nonsense." ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at the tiger-eyed gentleman, and asked, "Didn't you report to the official?" ”

"Don't dare, they are officials themselves, and their backgrounds are powerful, we can't afford to offend?"

"I don't understand, aren't you imperial merchants? How dare they have such audacity? ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "The emperor is far away, and the county officials are better in charge now!" It's better to be careful, the one you kicked away just now is the son of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu! ”

Zhu Houzhao is quite helpless about the second generation of officials, and Nanjing's household book is also a task to cover the sky with one hand in Jinling City, no wonder the cubs in the family are so arrogant and domineering.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Houzhao smiled at Yu Mingxiao and the women.

Then he strode forward, no matter whether these bastards were the sons of Hubu Shangshu or the sons of several other departments, Zhu Houzhao didn't ask, they all slapped them one by one, and then threw them all out of the window to the street.

"You wait!" A few half-dead goods were still hard-mouthed, lying on the ground and pointing at Zhu Houzhao and shouting: "My father is Li Gang, but the Nanjing garrison, you kid is waiting to go to prison!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw such a situation, he was naturally shocked, and hurriedly came up to persuade Zhu Houzhao to leave Jinling City as soon as possible, otherwise a catastrophe was coming.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care, a little bit of gentleness, when he was still playing the Manchu Dynasty in the capital, these boys were probably still following his father for ten years!

But now he wants to know how many officials are still hungry for the oil and water on the side of the business tax. These people are all goods who want money and don't want to die, and they are much more difficult to deal with than those greedy and timid goods, Zhu Houzhao has already moved to kill, this is the real big harm.

The stakes are huge, and we need to figure it out slowly. Zhu Houzhao doesn't plan to let go of any of them, after startling the grass and snakes, God knows how these national moths will be hidden to that extent. People who are not afraid of imperial power, Zhu Houzhao does not like it, and all those who sit on the throne will not like it.

However, Zhu Houzhao may not have time to pay attention to these for the time being, he has just returned to the mansion arranged by Mo Yanei to live, and immediately received a report.

The two major pirates in the South China Sea actually gathered a fleet and planned to invade the coastal territory of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Houzhao patted his forehead irritably, and scolded: "Are the Mo family and the old shipowner impatient?" How dare you brush the tiger's whiskers at this time? ”
