A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 558: What an amazing memory

Feng Jin checked the documents anyway, and then said, "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

He was still angry.

"no need to worry."

Wang Yu said in a low voice: "He is too close to the businessmen. If we don't fall out with him, we won't be able to do anything. What will we do if he intervenes? No, he will definitely intervene..."

Chen Ang shook his head slightly.

Wang Yu sighed: "He is the governor of Hangzhou, or the city envoy of Hangzhou. The city envoy may seem inconspicuous, but he has great power, involving countless money and goods. How can he let us intervene? So he will definitely give it to us. His face may even cause stumbling... The best thing to do is to break up at this time. We can impeach him later... and then find some shortcomings. If we take him down, the Third Division of the South will definitely be shocked, so that the reform of the City Shipping Division can be smooth. Execution..."

What he said was very normal, but Chen Ang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Wang Yu suggested that everyone not say that they are here to clean up the Shipping Department, but to inspect it.

On patrol! Hello, hello, everyone. Naturally, the local government will not care. Only in this way can we understand the root cause of the problem.

He thought this was Wang Yu's purpose, but he was wrong.

Wang Yu had been targeting Feng from the beginning, intending to use his head to frighten the Third Division and pave the way for the reform of the Shibo Division.

What a ruthless boy.

What scares Chen Ang the most is Wang Yu's decisiveness and scheming.

There is a plan within a plan, and you will be buried in the hole he dug if you are not careful.

He glanced at Feng Li who was walking away and thought, why are you so impatient?

He looked at the businessmen again, and now they were all laughing and surrounding him.

"I've met Chen Tuiguan, I've met Yanei..."

"The young man is so talented, how can he be called Yanei?"

"Yes, yes, you should be called Xiaolangjun."

In this era, the title of the yameni was similar to that of the second generation in later generations, which was very awkward.

My father is an official, isn’t he awesome?

You all have to call me Yanei!

But those who are truly capable don't like this kind of title, thinking it is a humiliation to themselves.

Everyone applauded, and Chen Ang said with a smile: "Today all the wise men are gathered in Wushan, and I would like to ask you about sea trade."

"Chen Tuiguan just wants to tell you. As long as we know it, we won't leave out every word!"

A man in his fifties stood up. Judging from the appearance of the people around him, he seemed to have some authority.

"Who are you……"

The man cupped his hands and said, "I, Wei Ping, have met Chen Tuiguan."

Wei Ping's face was rosy and his skin was soft. He could not tell that he was in his fifties. Only a pair of gray long eyebrows slanted out, like two brooms.

Chen Ang asked: "I have been along the river several times in the past few days and have been to the seaside. The ones I found the most were the big food merchants. Those people are familiar with the officials of the Shipping Department, and sometimes they can be postponed for a while. Why?"

This question was very pointed, but Wei Ping smiled and said: "Those big cannibals are very rich. They inspect the goods as soon as the ship docks, and only after drawing one out of ten can they buy it. But sometimes the officials don't like the goods on the ship, so they just It would be easier to buy it first, then sell it to the merchants of the Song Dynasty, and finally convert it into copper coins to settle the accounts with the cannibals."

The first task of the Municipal Shipping Department is to collect taxes. There are two ways to collect taxes: the first is to draw. As soon as the ship docks, the people from the Municipal Shipping Department will inspect it, and then draw one out of ten, that is, pay ten percent first. One of the goods as tax.

The second is Bomai.

The people from the Shipping Department negotiated the price with the foreign merchants, and then bought his goods. Most of them were sent to Bianliang, and a few goods were sold locally.

The tax of 1 out of 10, coupled with the lower price when buying, is the reason why the shipping company makes a lot of money.

Especially for Bomai, Shibosi was the referee when Bomai was buying it, and he was the athlete when it was later sold to the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Ang smiled and said, "How many food merchants are there in Hangzhou?"

Wei Ping shook his head and said: "Not too many, the most are in Guangzhou. The big cannibals there all live together and take care of their own affairs, and the officials don't care about them."

"The vassal in Guangzhou has been there for many years. The cannibals have lived here. They are under the jurisdiction of the lord. If there is any violation of the law, they will be handed over to them after local interrogation..."

If Shen An was here, he would definitely say that this is not what the Portuguese did in later generations?

I will first lend you a place to live and do business, and then gradually expand your influence and strength. When you are weak, I will take the opportunity to do evil.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, Pu Shougeng was such an example, and he directly destroyed the Song Dynasty clan in Quanzhou City.

"Some of them were given a lot of benefits, and the government also rewarded them with officials..."

Pu Shougeng was an official, and he had been in charge of the Shipping Department in Quanzhou for many years at the end of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was very kind to him, but he was eventually betrayed by this man.

Wei Ping said: "Those big cannibals are very respectful to the Song Dynasty and wish they could become people of the Song Dynasty..."

"Dashi is Dashi, and the Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty."

Wang Yu interrupted Wei Ping's words. At this moment, he remembered Shen An's words: "Most of those maritime merchants are wealthy. When people get rich, they will want to be richer and greedier... so don't expect them to take the initiative to suffer losses. "

Now that he saw these businessmen, he couldn't help but agree with Shen An's words.

Brother Anbei is such a talented person!

"Let Da Song make money, not let Da Song eat people..."

Well!

Everyone was a little surprised by this statement. Wei Ping smiled and said: "What Xiao Langjun said... Chen Tuiguan?"

Should I take what this young man says as fart or should I listen carefully?

In their view, Wang Yu was just a government official who came to get gold, and he was just competing for performance at the moment. There was something wrong with anyone who ignored him.

Chen Ang said without hesitation: "The officials knew he was coming."

This is something that is tacitly approved by the government, so you don’t have to take it seriously, but don’t blame me for subsequent misfortune.

Wei Ping said with some embarrassment: "So... what should we do?"

Chen Ang said: "First of all, we must be serious about delaying withdrawal. I don't know what delay is, and I don't know that the cannibal is rich. I only know that the rules cannot be messed with."

This is knocking.

Don't hang out with big food merchants.

"The second is to bring all the goods of the Song Dynasty together, and not to communicate with the Great Eater. The shipping department will set the unified price."

Damn it!

Now that the Shipping Company has finished everything, what are we going to do?

The Municipal Sports Bureau has made referees and athletes, so what should we do?

It seems that the only way we have left is to go to sea...

"The third thing is to go to sea..."

Chen Ang remembered Shen An's instructions before leaving, and he cheered up and said: "The Song Dynasty must master the business world, so that it can make more money..."

"Going to sea?"

A big man stepped forward and said excitedly: "May I ask Chen Tuiguan, but do you want to encourage me to wait until I go to sea?"

Chen Ang nodded and said: "Exactly, the DPRK hopes that you will wait to go to sea more and sell the goods of the Song Dynasty proactively, instead of changing hands through the Big Cannibal... You all know how much it will cost to be changed hands by the Big Cannibal. All gone.”

Wang Yu said indifferently: "Why are the Great Eaters so rich? Don't they just earn it by changing hands? But the Great Song Dynasty can go out to sea to buy and sell those goods, so why let them make money? Don't we have a ship? ?"

The big man said happily: "The villain Qiu Zhen has met Chen Tuiguan and Xiaolangjun. The villain often encountered pirates when he went to sea, and they would rob the fleet..."

There was nothing we could do about it. Chen Ang nodded and said: "The Song Dynasty will look for opportunities to destroy those pirates..."

The current navy of the Song Dynasty... to be honest, they are not very powerful.

Because there were no enemies overseas, the Song Dynasty's military power was concentrated on land. Even the warships in Jinming Pool were old and not updated, and turned into dragon boats racing at a racing speed...

After decades of peace, the Song Dynasty was quite leisurely and peaceful.

Wang Yu suddenly asked: "Where is the Great Cannibal? Will those pirates rob the Great Cannibal?"

Compared with the frequency and scale of going to sea, the giant cannibals naturally dominate, so can they be robbed?

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "The big cannibal can't do it."

Um?

"Why?"

Chen Ang couldn't help but be a little curious, and even conspiratorially suspected whether the pirates were a trick created by the cannibals, just to suppress the Song Dynasty's overseas steps.

Qiu Zhen said with some regret: "The Great Cannibal's fleet is huge, and they have many warships. Those pirates dare not rob them, otherwise they will be swept away by the Great Cannibal..."

Is the man-eating navy so powerful?

Wang Yu's eyes became gloomy and he said: "As long as the Song Dynasty has huge benefits overseas, the navy is not a problem."

Shen An is right again, profit is the biggest factor that drives people.

Qiu Zhen said excitedly: "If the Song Dynasty Navy can attack, then the villain will dare to spend all his wealth on the sea. As for the big cannibals, the villain will dare to compete with them to see whose goods are better and cheaper."

This is the beginning of a trade war.

Wang Yu felt happy and said: "This is very good."

If such a situation can be formed, Da Song will find another leg.

According to Shen An, the Song Dynasty currently only has land routes, which is lame. Only after mastering the sea route can you walk with your feet side by side and walk as fast as flying.

The benefits of maritime trade are great and must be grasped.

Wei Ping glanced at Qiu Zhen coldly and said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. How about... let's eat first?"

After walking all the way, everyone was hungry.

Chen Ang said: "Let's go our separate ways."

Wei Ping smiled and said: "The scenery here is very beautiful. I dare to invite Chen Tuiguan and Xiao Langjun to have dinner here..."

"BBQ?"

Chen Ang asked subconsciously.

It's so empty here, where's the food?

Wei Ping clapped his hands with a smile, and then someone turned around and ran away.

After a while, people came down the mountain, and there were many people.

Dozens of people came up with burdens and formed a formation.

There are seats, and the food and wine are still piping hot.

A group of women came slowly, the music started, and the dance was moving.

This is the luxury of maritime merchants, but they can get these things in a short time.

Wang Yu watched all this coldly and ate later.

The next day they went to the dock.

Sail obscured the view of a ship waiting to dock.

Judge Liu Ke of the Shipping Department led them to the edge of the dock, accompanied by Wei Ping, Qiu Zhen and others.

"I've met Judge Liu...hahahaha!"

A ship docked, and a big food merchant laughed on the bow. It was a very familiar feeling.

Liu Ke said with a straight face: "Dock to the shore and check his goods!"

The big food merchant was stunned, but after a moment, he became solemn.

"Someone encountered a storm on the road and luckily escaped... Look at this ship, it almost perished at the bottom of the sea..."

Following the direction of his finger, you can see the damaged sail, UU reading www.uukanshu. net still has some signs of damage.

"Someone had a chance to escape, but he was overjoyed."

The food merchant was smiling, very reserved and graceful.

It was a smile that he thought was polite, but in Wang Yu's eyes it was provocative.

"Check!"

Chen Ang and Wang Yu stood side by side and whispered: "Do you want to see it again?"

As he spoke, he secretly raised his hand to see the price list in his sleeve.

Wang Yu smiled, pointed at his head and said, "Everything is in someone's head."

Chen Ang, whose IQ was crushed, couldn't help but feel angry.

What an amazing memory!
