After the guests and hosts sat down, Chen Hoop said in a chatting tone: "The armies of Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Xiuzhou, and Jiangyin in the southeast coastal ports are all in the hands of our Tiger Army, and soon Wenzhou and Guangzhou will also be obtained by our Tiger Army.

When Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan, the grandfather and grandson, heard this, they glanced at each other without a trace.

If Chen Hoop Barrel did not brag, then China's maritime trade in the future would really have to be Li Cun's final say.

At this moment, Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan had a specific understanding of Li Cun's strength.

Qian Zai said: "Zhao Song Junchen did not understand the benefits of the sea, did not attach importance to the development of sea trade, blindly suppressed business, so that the sea trade was intermittent, and the way of benefiting the country and the people was also ......

To be fair, compared with the previous dynasties, the business environment in the Northern Song Dynasty was much better.

However, on the whole, the Northern Song Dynasty still pursued a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, that is, while attaching importance to agricultural development, it also inhibited commercial development.

There was no problem in attaching importance to agricultural development itself, and this measure adapted to the level of agricultural productivity of the Northern Song Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the economic development and prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty.

-- The development of foreign trade in the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly due to the development of agriculture and the abundance of agricultural products, which could be transported to the outside world in large quantities.

Generally speaking, the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was still agriculture, and the prosperity of agricultural production promoted the prosperity of the entire social economy.

However, the problem is that the policy of not suppressing land annexation in the Northern Song Dynasty led to the large number of landlords annexing the land of peasants, which intensified social contradictions.

- The peasants, who had lost their land, had no choice but to launch an uprising against the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties and gain a chance to survive for themselves.

The "anti-business" policy implemented by the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly to inherit the monopoly system of the previous generation, that is, to establish a system of monopoly monopoly by the state on a number of important commodities in the form of economic legislation.

The monopoly system has been implemented in the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty salt, iron, wine, etc. were sold by the state, and later dynasties continued to add more monopoly items, such as tea and alum.

The monopoly system of the Northern Song Dynasty, called "馷酤", was more extensive in terms of items – coal, spices, jewelry, etc., were added in addition to the contents of the previous dynasty.

It must be said that through the "drunkenness", it was indeed allowed the Zhao and Song courts to participate in social economic activities through coercive means and obtain huge profits, making up for the financial shortcomings of the Zhao and Song dynasties, so that the Zhao and Song courts mastered a large amount of property and consolidated their rule.

The problem is that this also seriously inhibits the activity of business, delays social change, and hinders social progress.

It is also in this context that many of Zhao Song's market institutions have been repeatedly abolished, and the ports have been opened and closed, closed and opened.

For example, Hangzhou City, Taizong Duangong was established in two years, Chunhua was cut and moved to Dinghai County, Mingzhou, Zhenzong Xianping was reset in two years, Shenzong Yuanfeng was abolished in three years, and Huizong Chongning was restored in the first year.

The establishment of several establishments and several abolitions not only shows the unstable state of Hangzhou, but also shows the attitude of the Zhao and Song dynasties towards these maritime merchants, which greatly increases the difficulty of these maritime trade.

- This situation did not really get better until the Southern Song Dynasty. ….

With Qian Zai's narration, Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan gradually understood that the Tiger Ben Army was preparing to open the five ports of Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Xiuzhou, and Jiangyin, and even prepared to invest heavily in the construction of the five ports.

In addition, the Tiger Army also proposed a series of policies to encourage maritime trade, such as reducing the types of "yongjiu" and strengthening the protection of merchants.

It is not difficult to see from the policy of the Tiger Ben Army that the Tiger Ben Army is really ready to encourage maritime trade.

However, at the same time, the Tiger Army also set up its own market department and introduced something called "tariff".

The tariff is very detailed, not a rough one-size-fits-all approach.

There are import taxes, export taxes and transit taxes collected according to the objects of collection;

There are fiscal duties and protective duties collected according to the purpose of collection;

There are ad valorem taxes, ad valorem taxes, and mixed taxes according to the levy standards

taxes and sliding taxes;

There are autonomous tariffs and negotiated tariffs that are set and collected according to the tax rate;

There are also import surcharges, differential taxes, preferential tariffs and generalized systems of preferences (GSP) that are levied on a case-by-case basis for differential treatment and specific implementations.

Moreover, each tax is followed by a detailed note.

From this exhaustive tariff alone, it is not difficult to see that the Tiger Ben Army did not come up temporarily, but was really ready to make a big deal in maritime trade.

In this regard, neither Wang Chaoyi nor Wang Yuan was in a hurry to express their position.

At present, the biggest question is not whether the policy of the Tiger Army is good or not, how many tariffs it will collect, nor whether the Tiger Army is really preparing to build various ports or squeezing the money from the pockets of the maritime merchants under this pretext, but whether the Tiger Army can resist the suppression of Zhao and Song.

- If the Tiger Ben Army can't stop Zhao Song's suppression, all of this is just empty talk.

Qian Zai also knows that it is not very useful to talk about this now.

Therefore, after introducing the policy of the Tiger Ben Army, Qian Zai took out a beautifully made iron plate.

There is also a large character "Free" in the middle of this iron plaque, and the number is engraved with Chinese characters and Arabic numerals underneath.

Wang Yuan saw it and asked, "Qian Xianggong, what is this card?" Is it a gold medal for avoiding death?"

Qian Zai smiled: "It's the same thing." , and then explained: "This is my Tiger Benjun duty-free license, with this license can be exempted from a total of millions of tariffs, and you can also hold this license to redeem the cargo on the port of Quanzhou......

To put it simply, the Tiger Ben Army detained all the ships and goods in Quanzhou Port, and Li Cun had the intention to keep all these things for himself, but Li Cun was afraid of drying up and fishing and burning forests to hunt.

However, if Li Cun waved his hand and let go of all these cargoes, where would the development costs, military expenses, and war expenses come from?

Therefore, Li Cun and a group of officials of the Tiger Army studied this tax-free card.

This can exempt 1 million taels of duty-free cards, and the Tiger Army is ready to auction it at a reserve price of 100,000.

Then, the Tiger Army used the duty-free card as the currency to auction the cargo on the port of Quanzhou.

Smart people can think that in the end, the Tiger Benjun will definitely over-issue the tax-free card.

- But the rhythm needs to be mastered.

In fact, Hu Benjun doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell this duty-free card at all, after all, the cargo in the port is real, and there must be many people who are very willing to buy those goods at a low price. ….

And those tax-exempt cards that have been over-issued are not useless, and in the future it can really be tax-exempt according to the amount of money left.

In fact, Li Cun was originally going to issue currency directly with it.

Tariffs can be used as the standard currency, which is too unstable and easy to undermine the credibility of the currency issued by the Tiger Army.

Therefore, in the end, Li Cun discussed a compromise solution with Qian Zai and others, which was to issue a temporary "currency" first, that is, a duty-free card.

And the use of this kind of large-denomination duty-free card, there is another advantage, that is, the merchant who holds it will definitely come to trade in the port of the Tiger Army, after all, only in the port of the Tiger Army, this valuable duty-free card can be realized.

In fact, even if the Tiger Benjun does not engage in duty-free licenses, maritime merchants who really want to do maritime trade will still come to Li Cun's port to trade, after all, Li Cun is about to form a monopoly business.

But in order to make his food look less ugly, Li Cun still pulled a fig leaf for himself in order to realize those luxury goods that did not actually contribute to the development of the Tiger Ben Army as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, the Tiger Benjun just sold the seized cargo at a low price for cash, overdrafted some future tariffs, and didn't want to run away from the sheep yet.

In fact, except for the original owners of those ships, no one else suffers, and those who are bold will make a lot of money.

As for the original owners of those cargoes?

I'm sorry.

Your protection money was not handed over to me Li Cun, but to Zhao Song, and there is no need for me Li Cun to help Zhao Song protect you.

When will your protection money be handed over to my Li Cun, I will be Li Cun

Sure to ensure the safety of your family.

Li Cun looked for the Wang family, hoping that the Wang family could find some wealthy gentry and nobles to take the lead in supporting the policy of the Tiger Ben Army and taking the lead in purchasing the Tiger Ben Army's duty-free license.

"Minzhong is the capital governor of my family, so my Tiger Benjun does not want to kill in Fujian."

"However, my Tiger Army does not allow the fields to be concentrated in the hands of a few people, so that the world is unstable, this is the cornerstone of the Tiger Army, and it will be implemented."

"Wang's family said to the wealthy gentry in Fujian, take the initiative to hand over the land, and only keep 100 acres of self-cultivated land, don't be stubborn and hurt the hometown of most of my family."

Then, Chen Hoop Bucket patiently explained to Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan: "Fujian is not better than two Zhejiang, Fujian Zhongshan has many fields, and the land-holding gentry and noble stomach giants are far from being comparable to the two Zhejiang.

Chen Hoop said shamelessly: "Fan Xingshi 100,000, go on a journey of thousands of miles, the people's expenses, the public's dedication, and the daily expenses are also thousands of gold. Can the Wang family lead the wealthy gentry and noble stomach giants in Fujian to fund one or two, you need to know that most of my family's governors are famous for the Fujian people, how can the Fujian people not help the fist?"

Hearing this, Wang Yuan really couldn't listen to it, Li Cun, a native of Chuzhou, in order to ask for money from Fujian's wealthy gentry, even said that he was a Fujianese, which was too shameless.

Then, Wang Yuan wanted to say a few words.

Fortunately, Wang Chaoyi handed over a look, which made Wang Yuan calm down. ….

Seeing this, Chen Hoop said with a smile, "Most of the governors of the Wang family and my family are really relatives, so it is not appropriate to sit idly by."

Hearing this, Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan invariably remembered the scene where Li Cunkang and Wang Huiniang left, and then the grandparents and grandchildren sighed at the same time.

Then, Chen Hoop asked very intimately: "If there is any difficulty, the old lady and the little official will say that it is okay, otherwise my tiger army will help the Wang family kill chickens and monkeys first?"

As soon as the words "kill chickens and set an example for monkeys" came out, Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan subconsciously thought: "I'm afraid it's either my Wang family or the chicken!"

Chen Hoop Bucket made the Wang family bleed with both soft and hard, and also let the Wang family take the lead in making the wealthy gentry and wealthy in Fujian also bleed, which made Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuanzu and grandson very annoyed.

This tiger army is really domineering and unreasonable, it's just a clear robbery.

But Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan also saw that Li Cun really didn't want to kill here in Fujian.

Otherwise, Li Cun can directly get on the big blade, what kind of cargo, I even tied you up as a meat ticket and extorted ransom; I have raided all your houses, and all the men have been killed, and all the women have been given to my men; What donations, I'll give you a pot of serving.

The situation is pressing.

Besides, Li Cun and Wang Huiniang are still there.

- People are still forced by Li Cun, how much forgivable, the eldest lady of the Wang family is completely voluntary, and everyone knows about it.

It is really difficult for the Wang family to go down to the chariot of the Tiger Ben Army, there is no way, whether Wang Chaoyi and Wang Yuan are willing or not, the Wang family can only help the Tiger Ben Army completely take Fujian......
