In the following days, Liu Haojia was even more busy. This time, he expanded the Wu'an Army again, which he had already greeted Emperor Wanli. The corresponding R&D department also had to take a turn to see their progress. Now the powder shop has teamed up with the blacksmith shop to develop a flowering bomb! Maybe it won't be long before the Navy will have flowering shells available there!

As a result, just two or three days after being busy, a family member reported: "My lord, there is a fleet of ships entering the port at the Tianjin wharf, and there are ten ships! A lot of people went to see the excitement, but did the head of the house go to see it?"

When Liu Haojia heard this, he knew that his own fleet had arrived, so he said, "I must see it, but I have to change into civilian clothes."

Then Liu Haojia took someone to change their clothes and entered the dock. When I went in, I found that the pier was crowded with people, and it was quite difficult to get close to the pier! Fortunately, Liu Haojia's family Ding Kong was powerful, so he protected him close to the trestle.

The reason why there are so many people is because this is the first batch of ships to rush to Tianjin Port, so people who have nothing to do around come to the dock to see the excitement.

There are a total of 12 trestles on the pier, and this fleet accounts for 10 of them. It's just that this dock has not yet been officially opened, so there is not enough force, only a small number of people are busy unloading goods on the ship, very slowly. However, Zhang Liuwang, the head of the hand, had already handed over the paperwork to the tax collector on the dock.

Liu Haojia approached under the cover of the family, and listened to the tax collector's punctual list and Zhang Liuwang talk about how much tax was collected. I heard him say, "...... So this is a 5-for-10 tax! Also, is this raw silk also sold here?"

Zhang Liuwang said: "Raw silk is not sold here, and when it is unloaded, it will be transferred to another ship to be transported to the Wa Kingdom."

The tax collector said, "Since it is not sold here on the spot, this raw silk will not be taxed."

The people around heard that there was a commotion when they heard that there was no tax collection, and Zhang Liuwang was even more surprised and said, "It's a good thing, but why is this?"

The tax collector said, "My uncle said that if you sell your raw silk here, you will have to pay taxes, but if you don't sell your raw silk, there will be no tax!" But when you ship it out, there will be tax collectors who specialize in collecting taxes on overseas trade."

The other slapped and said, "Uncle is really a reasonable person, he should be the prince of Wandai!"

When they heard the subsequent explanation, someone in the crowd nodded again and again and said that Wu Ningbo's rules were good, which ensured the interests of the businessmen, and it was a good law! And the tax collector said triumphantly, "That's nature! Let's move on to the rest, you still have so much rice to sell here, right?"

Zhang Liuwang said, "That's right, I don't know how much tax is charged for this rice?"

The tax collector laughed and said, "You're lucky, rice doesn't take taxes!"

Hearing that rice is not taxed, not only Zhang Liuwang was pleasantly surprised, but even the people watching next to him were in an uproar! Zhang Liuwang hurriedly asked, "Why is this rice not taxed? What do you say?"

The tax collector said, "Recently, the price of grain around Tianjin has increased dramatically, so the uncle has issued a special order that if rice from the south is transported to the north, no tax will be levied, so as to reduce the price of grain!"

Zhang Liuwang nodded and praised again and again when he heard this, especially those ordinary people were even more smiling! Because it is most beneficial for them that rice is not taxed!

Because of Liu Haojia's opening of the sea, a large number of people gathered here in Tianjin in a short period of time, and these people want to eat, so they naturally have to consume the grain stored in the market. At the same time, Liu Haojia has been in Tianjin for nearly a year. During this period, he recruited and trained soldiers, gathered craftsmen and idlers to build various workshops, and also did infrastructure construction work for the opening of the sea, creating a lot of jobs!

In the past, these people were hungry and full, and if they had a stutter, they would forget it! Now that I have a good salary in my pocket, it is natural to eat something good. Therefore, the supply of livestock and vegetables in the surrounding villages is in short supply, and many farmers are greedy for money and have switched to planting vegetables, resulting in a decrease in the supply of food in the market. Under the two phases, the price of grain in Tianjin has risen a lot!

Fortunately, Liu Haojia took away many idlers and vacated a lot of jobs. Let other ordinary people have a lot of income, otherwise the people of Tianjin would have already made a fuss! And these rice came in time, just to fill the gap in the market!

And even many people have thought of a problem, the canal has half a year of freezing time in winter, and the grain can't be delivered! The sea will not freeze, does that mean that when winter comes, a large amount of rice will come along the coast, and the price of grain in the north will not rise in winter?

At this moment, I heard a noise behind the crowd, and then the crowd was pushed and separated. And Liu Haojia and several family members have martial arts and can stand on their feet, plus there are family members who push the surging crowd to the left and right, so when the crowd stops, they are actually on the edge of the crowd!

At this time, Liu Haojia saw one hundred and seventy or eighty people pushing the crowd past him, and seeing that their clothes were clearly footmen and the like. So Liu Haojia had a guess in his heart, it should be the people of the River Gang who have arrived!

After these people rushed to the dock, a middle-aged man walked out of them and stood in front of the crowd, which was very imposing! I only heard him turn around and say, "Go and ask a few people who are placing goods, are they from our river gang?" Those who are not will be driven away!"

As soon as he had finished speaking, more than twenty people walked briskly towards the ship. Then this person saw Zhang Liuwang's dress and knew that he was the leader, and immediately stepped forward and said, "This leader, surnamed He, is the hall master of the local River Gang, and now he has brought someone to unload the head, why don't we talk about the price first!"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Liuwang, who had already looked at him again, arched his hand and said, "The next surname is Zhang, and he is the head of this fleet! It does need to be unloaded here, but I don't know what the price says?"

When Hall Master He heard that the other party was actually the leader, he immediately bowed his hand again and said, "It turned out to be the leader, and it was rude! It's a good skill to be able to bring such a fleet here safely!"

Zhang Liuwang returned the salute and said, "I can't afford to be praised by the hall master! But I'm still in a hurry about unloading, so why don't we talk about the price?"

Master Ho said, "Well said! I just don't know if Zhang wants to charter a boat or a capita?"

Zhang Liuwang was about to speak, when he heard a commotion from the dock! Liu Haojia also looked up, and it turned out that there were more than 20 people chasing eight or nine people over there. Look at the book

Liu Haojia's eyes narrowed when he saw this. The family next to him whispered, "Family Master, do you want us to come forward?"
