Compared with river transportation, sea transportation is not only fast and large, but also has a great advantage, there are no checkpoints on the vast sea, and there are no blackmail officials and gangs.

Transporting goods from Jiangnan to Tianjin, paying a commodity tax and a transaction tax can be done. With the freight, the total will not exceed two percent, that is to say, the goods of one or two silver in Jiangnan will be almost one or two or three dollars in Tianjin. And by river luck, one tael of silver will rise to at least three taels.

Arriving in Tianjin is not finished, it has to be transported to the capital.

During this paragraph, Tang Yi and Lu Bing negotiated repeatedly, and finally came up with a set of plans, transferring half of the personnel from the Cao Gang, and then the other half of the personnel from the military households of Tianjin Sanwei.

The two sides worked together to form a transport union, temporarily under the jurisdiction of 200 ships, 3,000 carriages, all goods from Tianjin, can be transported through the transport union, and Jinyiwei plays the role of escort.

The benefits that should be given along the way are indispensable, but if you want to extort, exploit wantonly, and be insatiable, you are ready to go to the imperial prison to enjoy the tiger chair!

In this way, the freight of goods trafficked by merchants from Tianjin to Beijing is less than one-third of that of river transportation, and the price of goods can be reduced by at least 30%.

Moreover, due to the increase in the number of goods transported, the income of the government yamen along the way, including the tax card of Chongwenmen, not only did not decrease, but also increased slightly. Jin Yiwei also got a lot of benefits.

After calculating, almost no one suffers losses, which is also the most puzzling place for Lu Bing, not that there is one wealth in the world, and if the court takes more points, the people will get one less point, but from Tianjin, the court has more taxes and silver, and the people are not only not damaged. Instead, they became richer.

In less than a month after the opening of the sea, Tianjin's population increased by more than 1,000 people.

This is not an ordinary group of more than 1,000 people, the vast majority of whom are wealthy businessmen, who are not alone, but who have to set up a business and hire people to make accounts. There are even people who plan to set up workshops to sell furs, wood, medicinal herbs, etc. from the north to Jiangnan to earn rich returns.

With this strong consumer force, Tianjin's taverns and restaurants are full of customers every day, and in the middle of the night, standing at the entrance of the street, you can hear the sound of the shops counting silver, and some people wake up from their sleep in the middle of the night......

The more Lu Bing thought about it, the more confused he became. But there is one thing he knows best, that is, Tang Yi is really a bit of a stone into gold, and he has the ability to turn decay into magic.

In less than a month, Tianjin sent two batches to the capital, totaling 100,000 taels of silver.

The silver was sent directly to Jiajing's treasury through the inner court, and did not enter the household department. In other words, this is Jiajing's own money. He can spend whatever he wants.

Jiajing, who was madly poor, finally saw the silver, and it is said that that night. It is rare that our Emperor Jiajing did not meditate and practice, but carefully read the accounts sent from Tianjin, and still held the golden abacus instead of pulling, and the wrinkles on his face were smiling.

Huang Jin waited and sighed sincerely: "Emperor, it's 100,000 taels a month." If this is a year, wouldn't it be 1.2 million taels, and half of the expenses in the palace will be settled. ”

Huang Jinsuan was happy, but Jiajing looked at him with idiotic eyes.

"Emperor, is the slave wrong?"

Jiajing pointed at his nose and scolded, "Don't say it's the people around me." I can't afford to lose that man! Well, let me see for a long time, every winter the sea also freezes, and there is no passage for ships, almost three months, that is, only nine months of a year, you know? ”

Huang Jincheng was terrified, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The slave is ignorant, please forgive the emperor, so there are only 900,000 taels all year round, that's not a lot!" ”

Huang Gonggong raised his head, in exchange for Jiajing's even more disdainful gaze.

"Stupid, your brain is elm? At the beginning, it was 100,000 taels, but after more and more trade, the tax and silver will definitely increase every month! ”

Jiajing pushed the golden abacus, his face finally cleared, and he smiled happily: "According to Tang Yi's estimate, there will be one million taels in the first year, of which 500,000 taels will be used to recruit scribes, build docks, build guild halls, expand the city, etc., and more than 300,000 taels will be invested every year in the future, and after deducting these expenses, more than one million taels of silver can be sent to the palace." ”

Jiajing changed to a more comfortable posture and said lightly: "With this money, I don't have to ask for a small amount of money, the head of the household department opens his mouth, it's really annoying!" They are in charge of the world's household registration taxes, and at the end of the year, the annual income is less than four million taels, compared with Tianjin, isn't it embarrassing! ”

Tang Yi tossed in Tianjin, how could he treat his old friend badly, he prepared four properties for Huang Jin, and the rent alone was more than 30,000 taels of silver a year, how could Huang Gonggong not give him good words!

It's just that you must be careful when talking to Jiajing, don't let Jiajing hear it, this is not difficult for Huang Jin, he has summarized one of the things he has summed up after serving Jiajing over the years, that is, to learn to pretend to be stupid, of course, don't be really stupid.

Huang Jinhan said with a smile: "Emperor, there are one million taels in Tianjin, if you open three more places, the household department will be closed!" ”

Jiajing scolded, "Ridiculous, how can the household department close the door?" Besides, how can you open the sea anywhere, if you want to say the southeast, at most Ningbo, Quanzhou and other places, can be more profitable than Tianjin, it's really hard to say. ”

"The slave thinks there's nothing bad to say, so just call the person who knows the most about opening the sea and ask."

Jiajing nodded with a smile, "It's time for that kid to explain his business experience to me!" ”

……

The officialdom in August was still treacherous, and the undercurrent was surging, Jiajing used Zheng Xiao to replace the imperial envoy of the right capital, Zhao Zhenji took over the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, two upright and upright ministers entered Beijing, and the poor Xu Ge finally had two stronger assistants.

However, in contrast, the impact of Tianjin's opening of the sea is more violent.

Tang Yi has become the focus of public opinion again, it seems that he has never left the focus, but this time the temperature is more boiling.

In fact, many officials have no feeling about opening the sea, and if they don't transfer goods from the canal to the sea, what can be a big deal.

But soon they found something extraordinary, there were many officials in the capital, and they couldn't wear big red robes, so they didn't think about brocade clothes and jade food, the fifth-grade officials could barely afford to rent a courtyard, and the seventh-grade officials couldn't eat meat a few times a year. Except for a few fat shortages, the others are bitter haha. The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is time to prepare cotton clothes for children.

Many people don't have the face to go home, even if they come back from the yamen, they have to soak in the teahouse. Ask for a pot of the cheapest flower tea, get a plate of melon seeds, and boil it, and wait until the children are asleep, and you will be relieved.

Wu Shilai is like this in the criminal department, he also has the name of a prodigy, and he is the first in the county examination and the government examination, and he studied hard, and finally won the jinshi in the thirty-second year of Jiajing. At the end of the government, he was elected as a speech official.

After Manyi became an official, he could have Yan Ruyu and a golden house, who knew that Manchu was not the same thing, as the lowest-level official, his money was enough to rent a house in front of him, and the family even asked his daughter-in-law to do needlework to supplement the family.

As a man, Wu Shilai was very depressed, so he kept looking for someone to impeach. fantasized about a success, and since then it has risen to the top. Let the wife and children live a good life.

However, it is not easy to start by impeachment, first of all, the object of impeachment must have weight, and secondly, the content of impeachment must be terrifying and cause a sensation, only in this way can you become famous. Out of the name!

Wu Shilai pondered for a long time, and he targeted Tang Yi, although Tang Shen was in the same subject as him, but in front of Fugui, Wu Shilai couldn't care about anything.

He thought about it. Tang Yi himself is the champion of the six heads, and he is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, his official position is not high, but his name is loud, especially his advocacy of opening the sea, which is extremely controversial, if Tang Yi can be put down, those conservative officials will wave his flag and shout for him.

Of course, if you want to impeach Tang Yi, you must have real evidence.

Not to mention, Wu Shilai really put in a lot of effort.

He found that Tang Yi committed at least two major crimes in Tianjin Kaihai, the first was Wenyuan Qingliu, Tang Yi talked about the way to make money, abandoned Confucius and Mencius and Yang Zhu, and secondly, Tang Yi used strict punishment in Tianjin, and when he heard that someone urinated on the street, he was whipped and beaten to the point that his skin was open!

Just kidding, if you don't let you defecate in the open, can you still live?

Regardless of the heavens and the earth, can you still manage to shit and fart?

Such a traitor can not be played!

Wu Shilai, a classmate full of grief and indignation, went home early, quickly wrote the folds, supported the society, and presided over justice, relying on them.

Xing Chong rushed back to the house, and just pushed the door open, the scene in front of him startled him.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law's entire two children measured their bodies, and a brand-new cyan cotton cloth was placed on the kang, Wu Shilai suddenly sank his face and scolded angrily: "What did I say, freeze to death at the windward station, starve to death!" I am a speech official, and I am the righteousness of the court, how can I ask for other people's things, you want to kill me! ”

Wu Shilai grabbed the cotton cloth and was about to throw it outside, but the daughter-in-law was in a hurry, grabbed the scissors and stopped Wu Shilai, and scolded with a blue face: "You bastard, it's nothing for the old lady to suffer with you, why should you be buried, if you don't make it clear, the old lady and you are not finished!" ”

Wu Shilai was also angry, and roared: "You still dare to shout, let me ask you, where did this cloth come from?" ”

"The old lady bought it!"

Wu Shilai pursed his mouth, "Can you afford it?" It is best to ask for eight or nine taels of silver on the market for a cotton cloth, do we have so much money in our family? ”

The daughter-in-law suddenly sneered and pointed at Wu Shilai's head with her hand, "Stupid, I can't use so much money now!" ”

Wu Shilai was puzzled, and his daughter-in-law explained: "The cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River has arrived in Tianjin, and it is sold for more than four taels in Tianjin, and it is more than five taels when it is shipped to Beijing, but those shops are black-hearted, they are reluctant to reduce the price, and they still sell ten or two horses." But others are also willing to be wronged, and there are many people in Beijing who hire cars to go to Tianjin to load goods, get together a dozen or so families, hire a carriage, and buy dozens of pieces of cloth back, and a piece of cloth is more than five taels, which is cheap! ”

The daughter-in-law looked at the two children kindly, "It's been more than two years, and when I arrived in the capital, I haven't changed the baby into new clothes, and the children have been wronged with us!" ”

Wu Shilai looked weird, his facial features were distorted for a while, he suddenly sighed, stumbled into the study, closed the door, sat on the chair, and sat down until the third watch, he took the fold and wrote solemnly: "Please commend the meritorious ...... of the sea" (to be continued. )

PS: I received a plus, and it's almost the end of the month, and the little ones should work hard, but they have a cold again. Say it in advance, save yourself from being lazy with cancer, and add more tomorrow!
