Chapter 256: Two Zhizhou (II)

Yanai took off the luggage from the horse, Song Jiu opened it and looked at it, and said, "Come with me to see Fanshang." ”

"Okay," said the group happily. Song Jiu said that in the future, various commodities will find ways to sell to merchants and make money in the world, which sounds majestic.

In February, there are merchant ships coming again, generally from the big food to Guangzhou a round trip is a year and a half, the west wind rises to the sea in winter, arrives in the Malay Peninsula, just can't wait long, the southeast wind comes, arrives in Guangzhou, and then trades and stays, some merchants and Song merchants are the same, marry wives and have children in Guangzhou, and make many friends in the local area, Guangzhou is their second hometown, and even borrow money from friends when they are tight, and return the next year to bring back the principal and interest. Then, at the end of the second half of the year, take a boat down the Malay Peninsula with a northeast wind, wait a few days, and return to Dashi with the southeast wind in the spring of the third year. It is this time period that is robbed, and it generally does not stay long in the Malay Peninsula, one is chaotic and the other is not as rich as Guangzhou.

The real voyage is not long, only two or three months, and the rest is all in trading, or waiting for the monsoon.

Song Jiu also unexpectedly heard one thing, not only did the ship capsize and sink, but there were also pirates at sea, not only on the Malay Peninsula, but also on the Chinese side. It made him laugh and cry.

If he wants to see Fanshang, Song Jiu has to pretend to be forced. Let Wang Zhen and Guo Da carry the Hu bed, once they didn't have the heart, they only rode a horse, but when they rode a horse, they didn't have a bright light, and people only recognized Song Jiu who sat on the Hu bed.

The two uncles were approved, and Pan Mei also let them come over, but they didn't stay long before they had to go back, and what bothered Pan Mei the most was that her daughter hugged her granddaughter and came to Lingnan. But it's still halfway there, and I haven't arrived yet.

This is Lingnan. Wait for the summer to suffer.

Song Jiu came to the port and saw him coming. A large group of fans fell to the ground, cheering with joy. Pan Weide left his father, got up again, and said, "Brother-in-law, you can do it." ”

These two heartless people are convinced, that is what Song Jiu put his mind to, and it is as simple as they think.

Song Jiu asked Fan Shang to get up.

Dealing with merchants was still a businessman, and a small number of Han people began to go to the sea. Not much, not far, still affected by the policies of the Tang Dynasty, prohibiting people from going abroad. Moreover, the risk at sea is high, so it is better to buy the goods and sell them to the people and Han goods, and make a lot of money. Therefore, there are still very few Han people in the Southern Han Dynasty.

Song Jiu asked them to sit down and opened the luggage in the palace. First of all, the glass products, Song Jiu one by one, this time is not a rush to make money, but a long-term trade. The price is relatively fair, like an ordinary mirror, only two or three hundred dollars. And then there's some fine silk. With porcelain, the wine was only taken out after the most sloppy.

Fanren looked at the package, and his eyes were straight. Can you drink this wine?

Pan Weide whispered: "They also speak Song dialect? ”

Not the standard Song dialect, but the Lingnan Han language. However, the difference between Hakka and the official dialect of the Song Dynasty is not too big now, and if you speak it slowly, you can understand it. Song Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Half of them are married and have children in Guangzhou, do you think they can speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes, yes, Liu Hou is right, half of us are members of the Han family," said a fanzi dancingly.

Song Jiu opened the wine bottle and let them taste it one by one, and after drinking dozens of fans, he closed his eyes and savored it, and said after a long time: "Good wine." ”

Then they asked for the price.

Regardless of whether the officials are or not, in their eyes, even the king dares to do business with the king.

Song Jiu didn't care, kept talking about the price, and said that the first batch of goods was coming. Then he stared at twenty or thirty of the fanshang with sad faces and said: "You don't have to worry, the fan boat let Liu Gong's men sail away, the sins he did were also the sins of my Chinese, this official will compensate you, now it is too late to buy ships and build ships, you negotiate with friends, while funding shipbuilding, while bringing the goods back, the official will give you a 20% discount, when you make up for your losses, when this discount will be canceled." If you are short of money, you can borrow money from a friend, and the official will guarantee it for you. ”

"Song Hou, you are really a good official." More than 20 people cried loudly and beat their chests.

"If it's not that I'm a good official, Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, we as officials don't dare to come nonsense, now it's the world of the Great Song Dynasty, not the world of the pseudo-Han, from now on, your heaven will come."

The emotions of the fans were unrestrained, and Song Jiu's words instigated all the fans to dance on the shore.

Shi Baozheng muttered: "Dare to really sell people, and you have to count the money for this person." ”

When he first arrived, he didn't know how famous Song Jiu was in Lingnan, it was a golden signboard, worth millions of yuan!

Song Jiu waited for them to stop, and then said: "But these are also first-class commercial goods in my China, the output is very low, and the quantity is not much, if you order more, you can only limit the purchase." ”

The facts are not too much, a purchase limit, the merchants are anxious one by one, and then start to talk about business. The wealth of these people is unimaginable, and several of them are likely to have more than one million yuan in personal wealth alone, and most of them are liquid funds. Even if the goods are handed over to them now, they will not be able to go to sea, and they will have to wait until winter. In just the blink of an eye, it has become a business of more than 2 million yuan. Or Song Jiu didn't dare to take it, otherwise it would be more. Don't ask for a deposit, they will automatically send it to the door themselves.

But thinking of the gray land in the east, Song Jiu's expression immediately became gloomy.

Let the yamen play by themselves.

This deal, they made a lot of money, Guangzhou is not burned, there are many restaurants and brothels, if you are interested, there are prostitutes inside, I heard that someone brought a woman from Europe, but brought over blonde hair, and body hair, the Central Plains people thought it was a monster, so no one brought it. There are also some black women, except for Liu Gang, who has a heavy taste, and the people don't like it, and there are really a few, and the price is very low. Of course, it's still okay to see a novelty.

So let them play.

Song Jiu took the order and found Pan Mei and Wang Ming and said, "General Pan, it's time to set up the City Division." ”

In the past, the taxation of the Southern Han Dynasty was extremely irregular, some could be collected, and some were not. Definitely not, just if the transaction is successful, tens of thousands of taxes can be levied. It can't be regarded as collecting your own taxes. Song Jiu's order is only one part of it, and there are many more deals.

Several people sat down to discuss. Split into two parts to do, one is expensive goods. These are all huge profits, including Song Jiu's glaze, as well as spices and gemstones, etc., which must be extracted, and both parties have to pay five percent of the tax. However, in order to encourage large transactions and tax payments, if it exceeds 50,000 guan, it can be reduced by 1 percent, if it exceeds 100,000 guan, it can be reduced by 1 percent, and if it exceeds 100,000 guan, it can be reduced by another 1%. General goods were paid according to the residence tax of the Song Dynasty, and they also enjoyed the preferential treatment of bulk transactions.

Song Jiu did not explain. A few people didn't ask. In fact, this is a disguised means to prevent tax evasion, and the larger the trader, the easier it is to collude with the government and not pay taxes. With discounts, they will be able to take the initiative to pay a little. Or the number of small and medium-sized vessels can be combined to reduce the tax, which is also equivalent to reducing the scale of smuggling. If it is really paid like this, the tax is not low, like the order in Song Jiu's hand, four percent of the payment. It also reached nearly 100,000 yuan.

If there is income, there will be something, and the warehouse will be repaired, so that they will have a place to store their goods when they come. At the same time, various protection laws and policies have been revised to ensure their personal safety, and even a small maritime patrol unit has been trained. Eradicate coastal pirates, at least on the mainland. They can't be allowed to rob pirates.

The men deliberated for two or three hours, which was no small feat. These measures and decrees were sent to the capital to be reported to the capital for Zhao Kuangyin to review and approve.

Then the army arrived.

Song Jiu gave them a team of a note, this is last year's plan, it's too late to expand, there are only about 100 farms, mainly in the eastern region, supplemented by the western region, mainly Han people, supplemented by barbarians, if the barbarians are willing, they can also set up a farm in where they are, but the effect will not be very great, mainly now most of the barbarians are too lazy, and each region has different production climates, this is Song Jiu looked at the picture books and sorted out the information, different regions will have different priorities.

Let the students and old farmers go down with the information to find the site.

With the issuance of another order, the county magistrates must cooperate, these farms are sparks, they are sparks, and it depends on them whether Lingnan can get better. However, Lingnan is too big, and 100 or so farms are far from enough, and only two counties have one farm.

Then another decree was issued, if there were victims in the war between the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, and the situation at home was very difficult, they arranged to work on the farms nearby, and these farms were not all rented peasants' land, there were too many wastelands in Lingnan, and some farms were specially designed to guide the people how to open up the wasteland. Can't expect the imperial court to be compensated, they were sacrificed for the Southern Han Dynasty, and the imperial court will pay for this? This is a kind of bereavement in disguise.

The rest of the states and counties are righteous and good families, and in the future, once the scale is expanded, Lingnan must be handed over to the families of the native soldiers in the future, so that they can train with peace of mind, and cooperate with the imperial court to catch thieves and thieves or fight.

Then the decree was issued.

This decree is even more special, Song Jiu kept a diary in Hunan, it was just an idea of his, some could be used, some were not used, but he had accumulated a lot of experience in Hunan, including water dams, enclosed fields, tube cars, terraces, recorded by Pan Wang and others, as well as various small officials, and then revised and sorted, published into a booklet and printed, one for officials above the county level, and then to go to the miasma, malaria must exist, but whether there is a miasma or not, is still a mystery. All states have miasma territory, including Guangzhou, and Duanzhou in the south is the hardest hit area. Song Jiu didn't believe it, but he couldn't transfer thousands of people to forcibly live in it for a few months to verify, if something happened, who would bear the consequences? Song Jiu explained part of the reason, and looked at the geomorphology map of the location of each miasma, mostly in two situations, one is the dense forest, especially in the valley, there is a lot of water vapor, there is a lot of decay, and one is the bank of the big river, mostly at the bend, the bend is large, the water flow walks against the bend, and the bend instead forms a still water area, and the animal and plant corpses floating over from the upstream do not go here, and begin to decay. I am not afraid of poisonous gas, Guan Jian is the most attractive mosquito in these areas, they crawl around on it, and then bite people, malaria comes, no one says malaria, but miasma.

If these areas can be ploughed and exposed to the sun when the miasma is light, it is impossible for the big rivers to open up mountains and split mountains, but several large cylinder trucks can be erected, which is conducive to irrigation and allows the water to move. But he also said that the people should be spontaneous, and they should not worry about the people. But there is one rule that must be enforced, and all officials must repeatedly publicize to the people that they should not eat raw water, especially raw water sources of unknown origin, and let the people sleep under mosquito nets as much as possible when it is dark from late spring to late autumn.

The cost of mosquito nets is not high, if you are really so poor that you can't even afford to use mosquito nets, let the heads of all elderly households and Li Zheng verify the statistics, report the list, and the imperial court will send special personnel to distribute mosquito nets from house to house.

There are many things to do, water conservancy road education, but where is the money.

Then another decree was issued, prohibiting Lingnan from buying and selling good people as slaves, and the offenders were severely punished, including the barbarian areas, and the heavy ones were visited in person! If a tenant farmer or artisan is employed, he must pay a direct price and must not be forced to hire by any means.

Wang Ming sighed and said, "I have grown so big, and I have never been such a good official. ”

After hearing this, a few people drank sullen wine, no matter how good it was, it burned and burned.

Before the mother and son arrived, the holy decree arrived, and there were three sermons.

The first is that the people of Baiyue have been abusing the government for a long time, and they have made the governors of Lingnan investigate the pseudo-government and harm the people, and they should be eliminated. This holy decree is equivalent to not being issued, not to mention the harsh government, I don't know how many benevolent governments are gradually being implemented.

But there are no rewards or penalties down. It is estimated that Zhao Kuangyin also has a headache, if he is punished, he can't take it seriously for the sake of money, and ignore this great credit. If he is not punished, think about the wealth, he can be so angry that he can ride a horse to Lingnan and give a kick to a few bigwigs.

And there was silence in the court, and not a single minister made a sound.

The second decree arrived a few days later, and the Lingnan commercial tax and salt law were levied according to the Jinghu regulations, and the salt was also levied, but according to the Jinghu regulations, the taxes were slightly lighter than those in the Central Plains. As for the wine, it is still forbidden. This is for fear of provoking the Lingnan people's uprising.

The third holy decree came belatedly, did not mention rewards and punishments, and made a series of personnel transfers, Fan Yu knew Yongzhou, this terrain is very important, and the south is Jiaozhi. Wang Ming knew Guizhou on behalf of the people, Zhu Xian knew Shaozhou, and Song Jiu was the general judge of Guangzhou.

Last year, Langzhou Tongju rushed to the book, saying that some of the service households in Langzhou were local heroes, relying on their local strength and strength, and losing rent and violating the deadline, so he set up a thin version of these people and supervised them according to the limit, so we will come to you people to see if you are ruthless, or the court is ruthless. felt that this method was good, so I asked Zhao Kuangyin to promote it into a system.

Over the years, the dispute between the general judgment and Zhizhou, I don't know how many fights have been made, and there are all those who beat people with their fists below, and Zhao Kuangyin was helpless, so he simply drew the responsibility and saved the quarrel, so he let the general judgment be in charge of his rent. The name is the Guangzhou General Judgment, and it is actually responsible for the entire Lingnan lease.

These appointments are not strange, and then they are weird, so that Pan Mei and Yin Chongke know Guangzhou.

Pan Mei said: "Two Zhizhou? ”

If you want to scold, just scold us, don't play like this. (To be continued......)
