Chapter 1587 Find some fun for the Maritime Guild ([-])

With such conditions pressing on it, soon, some people who thought they were not good at it retreated, and experienced old farmers and newborn young people who were not afraid of tigers became the most active group of people in the remaining crowd. .

After Qi Ke learned that people’s enthusiasm for talking about this matter had cooled down, he put it aside temporarily and concentrated on the business of Liangshui Town and another textile factory. Now that the southeast wind is picking up, foreign merchant ships from across the ocean began to pass frequently. When Hekouwan entered Liangshui Town, some were familiar faces from last year, and some were new faces brought by familiar faces.

For a while, the ocean terminal, which had been silent for half a year, was covered with towering masts, and the colorful and even gaudy flags of various countries dazzled people.

Last year, the textiles brought back by these merchant ships were very popular and sold very well. Merchants who had tasted the sweetness organized larger merchant ships to purchase goods and brought customized patterns.

This is the main reason why they went straight to Liangshui Town. To customize this thing, you have to follow the proofing process, and the production can only be started after it is confirmed to be correct. Time to come back and pick up the goods.

In addition, in addition to customized products, the vegetable cubes given as gifts last year are also must-buy supplies for merchant ships this year. Qi Ke is waiting for this year to do this business, and prepared a product catalog early for them to choose.

As soon as the foreign fleet arrived, Zhao Lin immediately kept a close eye on the docks of Dong'an Prefecture for port trade, and compared how many merchant ships were berthing there.

Dong'an Mansion relies on the sea to eat the sea. Traditionally, it relies on the trade brought by overseas merchant ships. Otherwise, it would not be able to develop such a powerful maritime merchant guild. Now Liangshui Town, which is close at hand, is going to officially compete for business, so it is necessary to focus on collecting first. hand intelligence.

The reasons for the decrease in the number of merchant ships are complex, including shipowners and cargo owners and the fleet itself, the sea, pirates, commodities, and of course new competitors.

But based on the experience I had with the Maritime Guild at the beginning, those people were not kind people. Seeing that there were merchant ships going to Liangshui Town, they would definitely blame Liangshui Town for the decline in the trade volume of Dong'an Prefecture.

If they really do this, their motives are easy to guess. If they don't get rid of their responsibilities, they will be hard to explain to their superiors.The huge tax revenue brought by the port trade is currently the most stable source of income for the imperial court. If this money is reduced, the huge dynasty will not be far away from kicking its legs.

The end of a dynasty is a law of history. Qi Ke and Zhao Lin are not happy to be tricked by others. The dynasty is not over yet, so they are finished first.

Qi Ke's name is registered in the imperial court, and it is only a matter of one sentence for the imperial court to touch her, but why, because the villain made troubles and took his own effort.

Therefore, in this year's trade season, we must keep an eye on the big and small officials of Dong'an Prefecture, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the ports below, and beware of any moths from them.

Fortunately, the [-]-person spy team invested in the beginning has accumulated enough information to support big data analysis. The inextricable and intricate relationships between people are clear lines here, otherwise it would not be possible. do.

On the second day after the arrangement was completed, Qi Ke received the news from Dong'an Mansion transferred by Baihu that the Maritime Merchant Guild was really restless and wanted to send several accountants to Liangshui Town to collect the trade tax of merchant ships. The meaning between the lines seemed to be It is a notice rather than a discussion, and what kind of board and lodging conditions will be arranged in the following article.
