Most of the people who came to sell gems on the first day were wealthy local families in Xianyang.

After getting the money, I went home one by one!

They can't save this part of the money for the time being, and they have to study with their partners whether to buy a boat and continue to go to sea!

Now that the development of Erzhou has been publicized, the wealthy who are ready to go to sea have begun to contact the crew and buy insurance for the crew!

Now that the working capital is also available, I am almost ready to buy a ship!

The last time was when the steam engine steamer was out of production, and the first batch of internal combustion engine steamers had not yet rolled off the assembly line, so there were not many of them, and everyone had to compete for them!

And this time it is different, there are enough ships with internal combustion engines that there is no need to grab them at all!

The nautical route map is not out yet, and they still have enough time to prepare!

A few old goods sold all the gems in their homes for a lot of money, and Le's mouth couldn't close!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions are too fast, I just said a few days ago that gems are difficult to shoot, which solves this problem for us!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite interesting this time!"

"You mean...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made this gem recovery for us? ”

The old goods were escorted by the guards and walked slowly towards the mansion.

Coming back with a silver ticket is much easier than the previous gem!

"Even if it's not exactly, it only came out to help us after listening to our words, otherwise, why didn't there be any movement before, and suddenly such a store appeared?"

"Hmmm! Makes sense! ”

"Hey! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a knife mouth and a tofu heart, which time we make a request, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses on the surface, but in fact, he is trying to help us ......! ”

The more the veterans studied, the more moved they became, and they always felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helping them in this matter.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to the Ministry of Industry yesterday to send a drawing to build a five-story building for the recovery and processing of this gemstone!"

"Huh?"

Meng Yi's inadvertent words immediately attracted the attention of other veterans.

Everyone stared at him in amazement!

"Isn't it? It's just a gem, can it be used so big? Five floors? ”

"Yes, I think the current shop is pretty good, and as for the current five-story building? How can there be so many people selling gemstones? ”

"That's it! This is the backlog of gems in the hands of the rich before, otherwise there would not be so many people ...... today! ”

They all read the newspaper and knew that the kid was going to recycle gems for jewelry.

But one or two layers isn't enough? Need to build a five-story building of reinforced concrete?

"I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that it's just going to be done by fooling around, it's like you're going to do a big job! Not only are these five floors sturdy, but the interior is also extremely luxurious! ”

Meng Yi was also very surprised after reading the drawings.

If you decorate according to the requirements on the drawings, the cost is estimated to be higher than the house built!

I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spends so much money on decoration!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has undoubtedly made money in the previous business, but I don't think it will be possible this time!"

"Hmmm! There is no malicious price reduction in gemstone recycling, after processing into jewelry, when it will be sold, and what price it will sell! ”

"Alas! This is also to help us, and when we go back and wait for the official shop to be built, we will also go to the cheers! ”

"Yes, yes, you have to ......!"

The old merchants immediately made up their minds that when the time came, they would buy a few pieces of jewelry and go home to give to their wives.

After everyone raised enough money, they immediately went to the shipyard, bought the internal combustion engine steamer, ordered someone to push the ship into the sea, and quietly waited for the navigation route map.

Not long after the ships of the wealthy families of Daqin had just departed from Yizhou, there were not many rich families who had the strength to buy new ships, and the old merchants did not have the cheekiness to ask for a road map!

If you open your mouth, the result will definitely be the same as the last time, you have to go under the guise of sending supplies, and it will cost a lot of money!

There are not many people going to Erzhou this time, and once they disperse after arriving, there will be no major problems, and there will be no overcrowding!

Three days later, the navigation route map was officially released, and you can buy it at the newspaper!

After getting the drawings, the ships from Weishui Port immediately set off and headed for Erzhou!

The nobles and wealthy families kept waving to them on the shore, wishing them a safe journey.

The most important thing is to bring back more belongings!

Whether you can get rich overnight depends on this time!

As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't deceive them, then they will definitely be able to return with a full load!

……

After the ship left, the heat of Erzhou's development did not dissipate.

The people were studying immigration, and many wealthy merchants from other places went to Xianyang one after another, preparing to sell the gems and buy ships to go to sea.

Recently, there have been a lot of brand new ships going to sea every day in Weishui Port.

You don't have to think about it to know, it's all to go to Erzhou to pick up money!

During this time, Zhang Han was not idle, set up the customs department, and the personnel were also selected, just waiting for the detailed rules after the arrangement.

After the people knew that the customs department was going to be established, they talked about it!

"Did you hear that? A customs department will be set up under the household department, and all ships returning from overseas will be charged a tax of 10% in the future! ”

"One percent tax? Isn't that low? I've heard that if you get it right, you can make a million gold in one trip! If you have to pay taxes, more than 100,000 gold will be gone! ”

When the people, who were a little closed off from the news, heard the news, they were immediately stunned.

Now the tax rate of their people is getting lower and lower, and when they suddenly heard such a high tax, they really felt a little unacceptable for a while!

"What's a million gold? On the last trip to Israel, those rich people who had boats earned hundreds of thousands of gold just by picking up gems! There are so many valuable things in this ear state, and they can't be sold for two million gold! At that time, you will have to pay 200,000 gold just to pay taxes! ”

"Sizzle......! So much? ”

"Hey! Even if it doesn't matter to us any more, we don't need to take it! ”

"That's right!"

"In fact, the more taxes the court receives, the more beneficial it is for our people!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You think! What is the tax collected by the imperial court for? Isn't it about building roads and bridges and doing something that is beneficial to our people! ”

"Hmmm! Makes sense, haha! That's better to charge more......! ”

After the people understood the role of the customs department, they all showed smiling faces and supported this decision.

But those nobles who had ships were a little panicked in their hearts.

"Alas! I don't know how much I can earn, but if I don't come, I won't have a percent! ”

"That's also something that can't be helped, the imperial court spent manpower and financial resources to knock down Erzhou, let's go up and pick up the money, we can't let the court contribute in vain!"

"That's just as well!"

"Even if we deduct one percent, we still have a lot left, don't worry about us, just wait to get the money, it's good!"

"Hmmm! Going to sea has now become my family's main business, and the money is really fast! It's just that such a policy suddenly came out, and I am unwilling......! ”

Even if the money is the fastest to go to sea, the rich still feel that they have to pay 10% of the tax.
