Chapter 164: Some people pay for it

Jiang Lili rested in the inn for the night.

I went out early the next day.

The humidity and heat in Fuzhou made Jiang Lili feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that her body rarely sweats, so Jiang Lili only feels like she is being roasted in an oven.

Even though it rained lightly at noon, Jiang Lili still felt a little hot.

Still, she went to see the harbor.

——

One is the seaport managed by Wang Zhizhou.

For example, some ships will choose to go ashore in Fuzhou in order to go home faster.

And what is on board the ship will be taxed.

Obviously, this tax is higher than elsewhere.

But there is nothing these ships can do.

Because this Wang Zhizhou is not a person who kills chickens and eggs, the tax he collects is actually about the same as the consumption of these ships returning from Yangzhou.

However, because it takes a lot of time to enter from Fuzhou than from Yangzhou.

Even if the taxes are indeed a bit expensive for these merchants, there is no other way for them.

Spending the same amount of money but being able to get home early is naturally more important for many maritime merchants to go home early.

So after coming and going, these maritime merchants also accepted this tax.

After that, the goods of these maritime merchants were also very expensive, and this tax was one of the reasons for the high price of these offshore goods.

Another reason is that this thing is not common in Daebong, such as some spice glass and the like.

Therefore, these things are not absent in Daebong, but they are few.

And things like Daebong's silk ceramics are not available in those overseas countries, so it may take a year or two for this ship to go out, so it is very risky, but if you can send Daebong's things abroad, and then transport foreign things, Dabong will sell them.

This trip can really make a lot of money.

However, the ships in this harbor are not berthed much.

The tax is too high, and some maritime merchants are still a little unhappy.

Therefore, they would rather take more detours than anchor at Fuzhou Port.

Jiang Lili watched from the edge of the harbor for a while before turning to leave.

I heard that there are two seaports in Fuzhou, so Jiang Lili is ready to go and see the other one.

In the other seaport, there are only a few small boats moored in the harbor.

These small boats were used by the common people to go to the sea to fish, and the whole harbor was very wide, but it was deserted.

And the houses near the harbour are also dilapidated, and there is no way to live in them.

As for the shops on the street in front of the harbor, they were all closed at this time, and there were hardly any people.

Even if you open one or two stores, they all buy some daily necessities, after all, there are still people living in this neighborhood.

Jiang Lili looked at the shops, and went up to ask if they had any owners or something.

She was going to buy them at a low price now.

Since Ye Qingqi wants to rectify Jinnan, then this seaport will definitely be used, as long as it can be rectified, then the seaport of Fuzhou can definitely be fully utilized.

And she also asked, there used to be a shipyard not far from here.

Although it is now deserted.

And Ye Qingqi knows the existence of the shipyard, and he will definitely not waste it.

At that time, this piece will definitely be more prosperous.

For example, if this ship is going to Jiangbei, then there is a canal from the second port of Fuzhou to Yangzhou.

It only takes one day to get from Fuzhou to Yangzhou by water.

It takes two or three days to travel by land, while it takes more than five days to go around the sea.

Therefore, if this port is really used, then these shops will definitely appreciate in value.

Now it seems that if these shops really want to take it, it will definitely not be expensive.

The man heard that Jiang Lili actually wanted to buy these shops, and felt that Jiang Lili was a little abnormal, but he felt that this kind of shop was definitely worthless in his own hands, so he still sold it.

So the owner of the shop soon came.

In the eyes of these shop owners, Jiang Lili is completely wronged.

It's a harbor, but it's completely useless!

——

Jiang Lili saw that these people were afraid that they would regret it, but she was a little hesitant.

In fact, Jiang Lili is even more afraid that these people will regret it.

So she asked more: "You won't regret selling this shop to me in the future, right?" ”

"How come, Miss is willing to buy these shops, as long as Miss doesn't regret it, we also told Miss the truth before, since Miss still wants to buy it, then we will sell it, that is, what will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with us, and this deed has also passed the government, this point, Miss doesn't have to worry." It was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties who spoke.

The shop was still profitable when it was in his father's hands.

But with the past ten or twenty years, this shop has hardly made money.

Even if you want to sell it, you can't do it.

Now that someone suddenly wants to buy this large row of shops, they can only explain the situation of this shop in advance.

After Jiang Lili insisted on buying it, Jiang Lili became a rich lady in their eyes who had no place to spend her money.

And the transfer of ownership does not need to be done by Jiang Lili in person, Feng Lin can follow this piece of Lizheng to do it.

Jiang Lili walked in this neighborhood, obviously this place should have been relatively prosperous a few decades ago.

You can see it from the tall torii in the distance.

But now, the tall archway is lined with sparse people in this vicinity.

"Pear?" Jiang Lili walked forward and suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Jiang Lili turned around when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw Ye Qingqi and a few old men coming out of the small alley.

And Ye Qingqi thought that he missed Jiang Lili too much, so when he saw the backs of others, he thought it was Lili.

But when Jiang Lili turned around, Ye Qingqi had some joy on his face.

"Why are you here? Why don't you come to me when you come? Ye Qingqi said a few words to the old men, and then strode in front of Jiang Lili.

"I thought that my eldest cousin should be running errands, and I came to Fuzhou to see the shop, so I didn't bother my eldest cousin." Jiang Lili spoke, and after saying this, Jiang Lili looked at the people not far away.

After Ye Qingqi's introduction, Jiang Lili knew that these people were the old men guarding the shipyard not far away, but she had some admiration for these old people.

So he went up and saluted them.

can hold on to a shipyard that does nothing for ten or twenty years, and I don't know if there is any hope.

It is definitely impossible to change to ginger pears and pears.

So Jiang Lili admires these people very much.

When these old men saw Jiang Lili saluting them, they were at a loss for a while, and then looked at Ye Qingqi.

Ye Qingqi knew that Jiang Lili saluted them because of admiration in his heart.

After all, when he first found out what these people were doing, he also admired them in his heart.

However, it was really not suitable to speak on the street, so Ye Qingqi took everyone to the tavern.

Jiang Lili quietly followed Ye Qingqi's side, listening to Ye Qingqi and those old men talking.

And Jiang Lili also heard that Ye Qingqi was going to restart the shipyard.

If you want to restart the shipyard, you need money, and for the money, Jiang Lili originally wanted to say that Ye Qingqi gave her a lot of silver tickets before, so she didn't want to take those out.

But Ye Qingqi didn't touch a tael of silver on her side.

After dinner, Jiang Lili and Ye Qingqi talked about it, but Ye Qingqi waved his hand: "The silver was originally given to you, then it is yours, you don't have to bear it, the shipyard is not a private factory, and some people pay for it." ”

When Jiang Lili heard this, she glanced at Ye Qingqi, and then didn't say anything about it.

Since Ye Qingqi said so, it must be his own way.
