Yinzhen sighed lightly, this is actually a kind of monopoly, a local monopoly! Industry monopoly! The so-called background is nothing more than the royal family, officials and families. Child. The party's trick is really beautiful, not only can not make himself build a ship, but also make countless enemies for himself, this is not just a salary from the bottom of the kettle, this is a knife to kill, as long as he dares to touch the sea trade fleet, there will be countless officials jumping out immediately, just spitting stars can drown themselves.

But he is taking a road of no return, the ocean-going fleet must be built, the trade fleet must also be built, the golden opportunity for the expansion of maritime hegemony cannot be missed in such a vain, and if more than ten years are wasted, it will really be cold daylily.

But what to do? There is always no big fleet to talk about the reading pavilion, not to talk about it first, just to go and talk one by one, you have to drag it to the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, how can you turn passive into active?

Zhang Mengjiao quietly looked at Yinzhen in contemplation, this man smiled brightly, but pondered but thick and steady, between the movement and the silence of the two people, it was really difficult to figure out, thinking of this, she hurriedly stopped, who has so much energy to make all the maritime trade fleets enemies of him? Why didn't he tell me why, did he believe me or was he afraid that I was afraid? This is not a battle between fleets, but a high-level game, every move can doom countless people's life and death, and she is not only a little excited to think that she will also join in.

Yinzhen had already stood up at this time, with a sunny smile on his face, Zhang Mengjiao met his gaze, "Have you thought of a way?" ”

"Of course, don't you see who the master is?" Yinzhen said proudly: "These maritime merchant ship owners want to treat them for profit, of course, they want to lure them with profit, and this time I want to give them a chance to turn over." After speaking, he then smiled and said, "Your Zhang family has been trading for generations, and the situation of this Jiang Customs, you should know the Reading Pavilion well, and tell me in detail." ”

Jiang Customs? What does the Fourteenth Master mean? What's wrong with Jiang Customs? Could it be that he wants to use customs to coerce those fleets? Zhang Mengjiao was puzzled, but this matter was too involved, and she didn't dare to ask more, she considered it and said: "Jiang Customs is the same as other customs, there are two main official taxes, ship money and goods tax, ship money is according to the size of the ship, and the goods tax is only twenty draws one, this tax rate is not high, but those dirty officials of Jiang Customs have set up all kinds of taxes and fees in the name of private There are so many amazing, what entry fees, departure fees, berthing fees, grain donations, separation, fire consumption, cabin inspection, sticking, etc., even I can't tell the difference, and bribery and indulgence are also a common practice. The situation of smuggling and tax evasion is quite serious. That's all I know. ”

"That's enough." Yinzhen smiled, "With you saying this, I will be at ease." ”

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the Laba Festival, the first festival of the month of Laba, is also the day of Buddha's enlightenment, both officials and people in the capital are busy boiling, giving, tasting Laba porridge, and holding a celebration of the harvest of the family, worship the gods and offer to the Buddha. At the same time, it also opened the prelude to the Spring Festival, killing New Year's pigs, beating tofu, glue wind fish and bacon, purchasing New Year's goods, and the atmosphere of "New Year" gradually became stronger.

Yongwang Mansion, Yinzhen on this day, since he inevitably had to condolence to his capable subordinates, to the back garden after running the east of the Buddha Hall and the west courtyard, he came to Wu Sidao's south courtyard, as soon as he entered the house, saw Wu Sidao in, couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Wu, it's been nearly a year, it's time to relax." ”

"I've seen the fourth master." Wu Sidao smiled and said, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I'm afraid it's still busy." ”

"Oh, there's a movement in Fourteen?" Yinzhen's face became solemn.

"Nope." Wu Sidao shook his head, "However, it should be only in the past two days." ”

Yin Zhen asked suspiciously, "How can you see it?" ”

"Sea vessels start going to sea in February and March every year, and preparations begin during the Chinese New Year." Wu Sidao said and closed the book in his hand, "The Fourteenth Master should have gotten the news a few days ago, how could he not be in a hurry if there was no rice in the pot?" The imperial court and officials from all over the country began to seal on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the seal was not opened until the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and the fourteenth master couldn't afford to wait, nor could he afford to delay, so he had to react before the seal, that is, these days. ”

Yin Zhen nodded and asked cautiously, "We just released the rumor in the capital that the fourteenth is going to integrate the maritime trade fleet, why is Mr. Wu so sure that those maritime merchants will not transport timber to Shanghai?" ”

Wu Sidao said with a smile, "Without him, human nature, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the means of the fourteenth master to operate the 'four constants', who in the world does not know?" Who is not afraid? Those maritime trade ship owners, as long as they hear the rumors, even if they are just suspicious, they would rather believe that they have it, not believe it, and there is a lot of business to do, why do they have to do timber business? ”

Yin Zhen said more sincerely, "But there is also a fleet that specializes in timber business." ”

Wu Sidao said disapprerovingly, "This problem, those maritime merchants will go to discuss, and temporarily give a share to those fleets, so that they can avoid worries, they will calculate this account themselves, don't look at them are usually a plate of scattered sand, but at the critical moment, someone will come forward to organize, and those big men can't even have such a little vision and means, so the fourth master will relax and read the pavilion." ”

"Mr. is really a last resort, let's just move our mouths, and we will make the ground fourteen burnt, hehe, Yinzhen admires." Yin Zhen said and chuckled, "Fourteen is now a deep saint, it's time to extinguish his sharp energy." ”

Wu Sidao shook his head lightly in disbelief, "No, the Fourteenth Master's actions are always unexpected, let's not take it lightly, look at his moves, it should be in the past two days." ”

In the evening, Yang Xin Palace, Kangxi after a busy day, Lei Jian began to check and reply to the secret folds submitted from all over the country, he first looked at whether there were two rivers, the dispute between the two rivers, and Yinzhen's ocean-going fleet were the things he was most concerned about recently.

Unwrapping the dense fold, he looked at it carefully, at a glance, his eyebrows wrinkled, and then slowly unfolded, to the end, the corners of the mouth were already showing a smile, this old fourteen, is really unique, a good trick to change the guest-based, a good trick to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, the most rare is to be upright, quite a demeanor, well, both have this talent, Shanghai, can be completely assured, according to this line of thought, the shares of this ocean-going trade fleet are afraid that it is 500,000 and 1 cents can not be grabbed, I have forty percent, that is 20 million, the matter of the flag people, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, thanks to this old fourteen, forty million! When have I ever been so rich?
