Chapter 351: The Iceberg Has Melted!
I only heard a whisper like a mosquito, which came into Wang Tianxie's ears, "Hmph, I'll explain to you later, now you hurry up and admit it to the old lady, otherwise be careful that the old lady will go down with a knife and let Xinzi be a living widow!" ”
Wang Tianxie was taken aback by the words of Li Huamei, the big cat sister of the iceberg, and suddenly cold sweat, waterfall sweat, Genghis Khan, Leo meteor shower sweat, I don't know what the name is, but it sounds very powerful.
What a bold statement! Wang Tianxie said that at this moment, he finally knew what Yali was? Is it delicious? Because, at this moment, he said that his Yali pear is not ordinary!
Just when Wang Taiye was sweating all kinds of sweat there, Lawrence. Bate suddenly shouted something that made him vomit blood for ten kilometers, and he suddenly felt his head dizzy......
"Wow, look, the iceberg is melting!"
I saw Lawrence. Bate, Louis. Pinter and Robb. Fei Leila, the three Portuguese youths who had obviously drunk their tongues, actually clapped their hands with each other and began to laugh at the big cat sister of the iceberg.
Moreover, it seems that these three people should have pursued the iceberg big cat next to Wang Tianxie, and were obviously swayed by the "Xiangfei Tiger's exclusive skill - Big Cat Staring Method".
The vinegar taste in the mouths of the three of them can be said to be stronger and mellower than the old vinegar of Shanxi in Wang Tianxie's previous life!
In fact, this can't be blamed on the three Portuguese young people in front of them, in fact, the three of them still drink very well. However, the honey wine brewed by Wang Tianxie himself is much more powerful than the red wine that the three of them drank in Portugal, plus the drunken chicken in the copper hot pot......
The three of them were redder than red apples at the moment, and they were so drunk that they probably didn't know what they were talking about. Wang Tianxie can say with certainty that if the other party was not drunk, he would never dare to be in front of the iceberg big cat and the royal sister. Say such things.
"Hmph, that's the way it is, so, my sister has to use you to block the gun." Iceberg Big Cat Royal Sister Li Huamei completely ignored Wang Tianxie's jaw that had fallen to the ground, as if she was saying something very light.
Three young Portuguese businessmen, who were already too drunk to know what they were talking about, were slashed in the back of their heads by the iceberg cat sister with a knife. Immediately, his eyes went black, and he fell unconscious on the table.
And Wang Tianxie finally knew what was going on......
Hawkers, the iceberg big cat sister is twenty-seven years old this year, and she is still single......
With her usual cold makeup and razor-like eyes, in the eyes of young talents from Western countries in the Age of Discovery in the 16th century, she is definitely at the level of a hundred stars bursting with charm.
This naturally makes the iceberg big cat sister have many suitors in Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands, which are powerful countries in the Age of Discovery.
The question is that Li Huamei, the big cat sister of the iceberg, is a native of the Ming Dynasty, how can she look down on this group of yellow-haired, blue-eyed guys as her lifelong dependence...... But. If this iceberg was to find someone from the Li family's fleet as her shield, she would resolutely disagree.
As a result, Wang Tianxie, the guy she had been training since she was six years old, innocently became her absolute domain-level shield......
After eating and drinking, Wang Tianxie and the iceberg big cat royal sister went to the Isewan Free Trade Seat, that is, the Isewan Free Trade Market, to replenish and purchase supplies for the Li family's fleet.
As for the three Portuguese youths who were stunned by the iceberg big cat royal sister, Wang Tianxie arranged a room for the other party. Throw the three of them there, pat their butts and leave. Well. By the way, originally the iceberg big cat sister planned to step on one foot per person before leaving.
"Heavenly evil, good job, the scale of Ise Bay is finally about to catch up with the Ningbo Port of the Ming Kingdom!" It is estimated that it was the violence that greeted the three drunken Portuguese young men who were buzzing like mosquitoes, and the iceberg cat sister was in a good mood at the moment, and a smile unexpectedly appeared on the iceberg's face.
All right. With Wang Tianxie's understanding of the iceberg big cat and sister in the past twelve years...... According to the other party's iceberg temperament that always speaks with a straight face, the corners of his mouth are only slightly upturned by two millimeters, which should be regarded as a smile, right?
Owari Kuni's big cat died in early March of 1549, and the violent overage pseudo-Lori succeeded him as the head of the Oda family in Owari Province in mid-March. It was not until she succeeded her as the head of the family that Isewan could finally let Wang Tianxie manipulate and develop.
It was July 1553. Isewan has indeed changed a lot in these four years.
The original tariffs had long since been abolished, and the roads had been widened to accommodate ox carts carrying goods. In addition to the HOS flats selling a wide range of goods, there are also various types of houses (stalls) setting up stalls.
According to Wang Tianxie's conception, of course, a wealthy businessman would open a home for himself. As for businessmen who don't have money, if they want to start a small business, he is very encouraged, but they must go to the "tax office" to register.
On the bright side, the "Gorgeous House" business house run by Xue Ji Xiao Lori and the Heavenly Ghost One Bloodline Ji God of Wealth Liji has now officially carried out the "Warring States version of investment promotion" activities in the name of the official.
The name of the boss of this "Hualiju" firm registered in the "Tax Commissioner's Office", in addition to Xue Ji Xiao Lori, also hung the names of Tianling Da Lori and Wang Tianxi.
The general administration of the "Tax Commissioner's Office" is now handed over to the three sons of Masahide Hirate, and the little Shota of Takenaka Hanbei is in charge. With this level of relationship, "Gorgeous House" has become the center of Isewan's foreign trade in the past four years.
Although Tianling Da Lori and Wang Tianxie are the kind of people who don't care about things, they can't bear the identities of these two people.
The royal status of the two attracted many Nanyang merchants from Brunei, Cochinchina, Siam, Pattani, Pahang, Java, Sumatra, Aceh, Maluku, Celebes, Luzon, Mindanao and other places.
Under the guidance of Li Huamei, the big sister of the iceberg cat, from time to time, there will be Portugal and Spain, two Western businessmen from the Age of Discovery.
Merchants from these countries were involuntarily attracted by the tax system in Isewan after trading with others in Isewan, and they were reluctant to go to other ports.
After all, even if the world is just a free trade port, the tax rate is much higher than that of Ise Bay.
And what about Isewan? Ise Bay has no customs duties, and this alone is already attractive to other ports. The sales tax levied by Isewan was set up by Wang Tianxie specifically for merchants.
Every merchant is required to register his or her shop with the "Tax Office". Then, the tax is collected at a rate of 1 out of 10 per quarter. In other words, every three months, the firm is required to pay the tax.
In the case of maritime merchants from the South Seas or Western countries, it will be calculated based on one-tenth of the total transaction value of each transaction.
The term "trip" here refers to the overall transaction volume of the other party from the time they come from their own country to the time when the other party leaves. This is very different from other regions, where taxes are levied on a per-transaction basis.
What is most important in the eyes of businessmen? The first is, of course, whether you can make money, how much money you can make, whether you will make more money than anywhere else, and whether it will be more convenient to make money......
Therefore, in their eyes, Isewan is definitely an excellent seaport with convenient transactions, low taxes, a wide range of goods, and guaranteed quality.
As for security...... Which merchant dared to be among the merchants in the Age of Discovery, without some armed strength in his hands? Isn't his hands stained with the blood of pirates who dare to rob him?
Anyone who has the courage to enter the Age of Discovery, there cannot and will never be in the dictionary "Lao Tzu is a kind person, a person who will not fight with others and fight." Words like that.
Not to mention that there are no pirates in Ise Bay at all. In the past four years, the iceberg big cat sister often came here to bully the little monsters...... Ahem, no, it's bullying pirates who dare to mess with the seas.
In addition, Wang Tianxie has subdued the nine ghosts of Shima Province, and Takigawa Kazuki has persuaded the Saji family of the Isewan Chita Peninsula Navy Army, with the existence of these two Navy Forces, Ise Bay can be said to be a very safe sea area.
The excellent trading port brought the Oda family a large number of gold and silver judgments.
Although Owari Province is not a place where all kinds of products are abundant, because the tariffs have been completely abolished in the country, and the tax rate is lower and more secure than that of other countries, many merchants from other countries have traveled to Owari Province with their goods from far away.
Although it still can't be compared to the large seaports of the Ming Province or the Sakai Port, it is much better than the ports of Kyushu.
"Sister Huamei, I don't know what happened last time?" Wang Tianxie, who was wandering around the city with the iceberg big cat royal sister, suddenly remembered something and asked the iceberg beauty beside him curiously.
To his surprise, the iceberg next to him actually blushed. And it's not the kind of blush that gets drunk, but the kind of blush that is really embarrassed.
Iceberg Big Cat Royal Sister Li Huamei, Of course, what did Wang Tianxie ask? Last time the iceberg big cat sister came over, she came with a mission.
On the other side of the sea, the current emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Ming Shizong, that is, Emperor Jiajing, did not know which Fang Shi had listened to the slander, and began to advocate alchemy, health preservation, and immortal cultivation, and constantly sought the way of immortality.
Then, I don't know who it was, I actually began to spread rumors that the iceberg big cat sister had found an immortal on a distant island beyond the East China Sea. The immortal also generously gave the iceberg cat a lot of gold and taught her how to make a fortune in the Age of Discovery.
As a result, this immortal's way of immortality made Jiajing very, very, and extremely concerned. Therefore, he directly ordered the iceberg big cat beauty to ask for the way of immortality for him when he saw the immortals.
Of course, whether the iceberg big cat sister has met an immortal or not, everyone can imagine it. As a result, the iceberg big cat sister had no choice but to come to Wang Tianxie for help.
Wang Tianxie is good, and directly kneaded the Yin and Yang Dao of the Onmyoji with a lot of various cultivation novels that he read back at a certain point in his previous life, and got this Taoist scripture for the Iceberg Big Cat Royal Sister to take back. (To be continued......)
