"Want to open a city office in Guangzhou? Why? So far away, how do we exchange things with Yiren? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang lives in Xiaqiu Village, and his work cannot be stopped, pulling his son to correct the question book every day.

The question book in front of him was sent by Wang Guangyang, who was assigned to Guangzhou Province to participate in politics, and the content was only one, opening a market.

The office of Guangdong Province, or the seat of governance, is in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the seat of Guangzhou Prefecture is in Nanhai County.

The prefect of Nanhai County is the most unlucky, there is the prefect and the political participation pressure on it, the prefect is troubled, and the number one is good, and he actually sent a prime minister to participate in politics.

"Father, it's really far away, and it takes a long time to send a quick letter from there."

Zhu Biao also believes that there should be no city office in Guangzhou.

"In that case...... Huh? Announce Yi Chang and ask him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to call back directly, but he felt that he should find someone to ask.

In the past, he would look for Hu Weiyong, but now the more he looks at Hu Weiyong, the more unpleasant he becomes, his ability is contrasted, and he feels that the prime minister is useless.

When the lieutenant was found, he was looking at Han Han's drawings of drawing hot air balloons, and he happened to take Han Han to the building next to him, this is not the imperial city.

Zhu Wentian grabbed a handful of kumquats, produced in She County, She County not only has a good inkstone, but also a good kumquat, it is the ripe season, the steam engine boat went over to pull a few boats back, and everyone had fruit to eat.

He divided a few to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, looked at the palace maid and eunuch next to him, turned around and ran away, and came back with two baskets in a moment, which contained kumquats.

He walked in circles, and the palace maid and the eunuch gave one by one.

After he finished dividing, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to the chief: "Yi Chang, the previous right Wang Chaozong came back from writing the inscription, and wanted to open a market in Guangzhou, what do you think ......?"

The chief looked at the prince, and saw the prince's expression of waiting to listen, and understood.

"Your Majesty, the Guangzhou City Bosi was originally established with the Tang Dynasty to trade with the Yi people, and the Yi people came from overseas, and where the land was the first to see, they must be willing to go over.

If Guangzhou establishes a city shipping company, it will be convenient for people, but the difficulty of transportation in our Ming Dynasty has increased, and it is not cost-effective.

However, there are many islands at the mouth of the sea, so people can build a wharf on the island, receive the Yi people to rest for a while, and repair the boats.

When they are well rested, they will go along the shore to our current city to trade, so as to reduce the transportation expenses in the palace.

At the same time, it can increase the income of Guangzhou, where there are many people of all ethnic groups, but the production tools are insufficient, mainly because of the lack of imperial court management.

There is a high sky and the emperor is far away, and the officials sent are easy to give birth to the thoughts of the emperor, so as to exploit the people.

In the first city shipping department, the officials must be up and down, and whoever His Majesty wants to die, he can send whoever he wants to be the city shipping envoy. ”

The lieutenant was opposed to the establishment of a city port department in Guangzhou, but he could provide other services to the Yi people and collect money.

"Whoever we want to die, let's just kill him, why bother? It is okay to provide paid help, and people can make money. Zhu Yuanzhang recognized.

"Your Majesty, you can't ask the people to participate directly." The chief shook his head: "The local people mainly live in the village, and when the time comes, they will have conflicts because of their participation.

If we want to weaken the local people, we can use this method, and they will kill each other.

The Ming Dynasty is now in full swing, and when Huairou is the mainstay, Wang Shenzheng wants to do something so that he can come back.

Don't be afraid that he will be greedy for ink in it, otherwise he will never come back, so it is better to order him to organize official personnel.

When the Yi merchant ships arrived in Guangzhou, the people from each village took out food and wine to exchange with the Yi people.

We collect taxes from the people, ten taxes are good, the people will not exchange a lot with the local people, and the taxes are expensive.

At the same time, the exchange of other items for the local people, such as their handmade fabrics and silver, was restricted. ”

"Does Tamsui want to take money from the Yiren?" Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head, and then recognized it, but he got into the money eye and wanted to charge fresh water fees.

Zhu Wentian nodded with a smile on his face, yes, why don't you give money for fresh water?

Of course, under normal circumstances, if there is no shortage of water and there is no need for freshwater boats and freshwater trucks to replenish, there is generally no freshwater fee.

It's just that later, some countries saw the money and had to collect it.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to accept it, so ......

"Your Majesty, in the future, our Daming fleet will go to other places, and we will collect people's fresh water fees today, and they will collect us."

The lieutenant is opposed, this is mutual, fresh water is a life-saving thing, people come so far to trade, you collect people's water money?

"Yes, yes, let's be generous, we're Ming. Hey, hey, hey! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, we can actually let the local people increase their income, not just exchange things, remember not to make money from the people when exchanging things, only to earn tax money.

Let the people participate, and the yamen will organize it, and the people will know how we treat them.

At the same time, the tax of the Yiren was collected, and the money did not need to be sent to Nanjing, but was directly used in the local area to hire the people to work.

The people don't think about the overall situation, they just need to satisfy their immediate interests, and if it weren't for the oppression too much, they wouldn't have revolted. ”

The lieutenant chief went on to say that there was no need to take that money back, but to digest it on the spot, and at the same time told the people that the yamen was helping you make money, not taking advantage of it.

At another time, the governor would not say this, and the local officials promised to catch a little.

At the moment, Wang Guangyang is in charge, and he needs to come back, where Guangdong is poor, backward, hot in summer, cold and humid in winter, mainly humid.

Han Han said, don't talk about Guangzhou, Qiongzhou Mansion over there, and everywhere to the north.

Only in the Tang Dynasty Zhang Jiuling wrote that the sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is warm in winter, and it is not tidal at all, which is most suitable for northerners to stay there, especially in the northeast.

Wang Guangyang stayed for a long time and promised to be troublesome, no, now he is troubled, his rights are gone, and he goes to a broken place to participate in politics.

Give him something to do, where does he dare to benefit from it? Once it is found out, it is estimated that the next place will be Qiongzhou Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile, and his eyes narrowed: "Yes, it should be like this, that little bit of money, we can't look at it." That one...... Take a look at this book. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he asked the eunuch to come over and send the question book over, but he had finished approving this question book before and did not agree.

The chief received it and saw that it was sent by Henan Prefecture, saying that the cotton had been used up, and he wanted to find land to plant more cotton next year, and there was a water-powered loom on Luoshui.

The Ming Dynasty asked to plant cotton and mulberry trees, that is, to have clothes to wear, and if they did not plant, they would receive more.

Now there is money there, there is a shortage of raw materials, and there is a desire to expand cotton cultivation.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be viewed from two sides." The lieutenant chief read it and asked the eunuch to send the question book back.

This thing shouldn't have been shown to him, but the people around him thought it was very normal.
