Chapter 1167: The New Trade Policy

"Come to Datang with the System Novel ()" to find the latest chapters!

"From today on, Datang merchants who sell goods pay a 10% tax, foreign merchants who sell goods pay a 10% tax, and foreign merchants who buy goods pay a 10% tax."

At the Guangzhou seaside pier, someone read the words on the notice posted there.

What do the merchants of Tang Dynasty think about it? It has nothing to do with them. They also paid 10% tax before.

Moreover, Guangzhou is building roads, and the people are digging on the narrow roads that should not be considered roads at all.

This is the tax money they paid. Starting from the dock and passing through Dayuling to the road farther north, all the roads have been repaired.

There are also inns, one for every ten miles.

The transportation of goods does not rely too much on the inn, and everyone is protected by armed forces.

Sending letters is different. If you use a post station and pay more, the letter will be delivered to the destination quickly.

A letter is willing to cost one min, two thousand miles away, and delivered within five days, four hundred miles a day.

For the imperial court's urgent report of 600 miles and urgent report of 800 miles, it seemed too slow.

But it's more than ten times faster than before.

The businessmen felt that the people at the inn had worked hard. In the inn, it was not just one person who made money, but a group of people, each of whom could not get a single penny.

There are also businessmen who think it's okay. Instead of one businessman delivering letters, dozens or hundreds of businessmen have to write letters to and from each other every day.

Some even buy some samples from foreign merchants, put them in small packages and send them away with letters, and they are delivered to their homes within five days.

I'll look at the samples at home and reply, and they'll be sent back within five days.

If you are willing to spend 500 yuan, you can send a package weighing no more than 20 kilograms from Guangzhou to Chang'an within three days.

Don't worry about how others run away, I guarantee you will run away with half a million dollars.

It’s faster than the 800-mile express, so it’s nearly 4,000 miles all the way, right? Running one thousand fourteen to five hundred miles a day? How does a horse run?

Yes! So far, no one is willing to spend that money. What is twenty pounds worth of five hundred pounds? Documents of rebellion?

They didn't know it yet, but the imperial court rushed to make the trip from Chang'an to Hexi Province and arrived within one day.

The process is simple, sprint, mount a good military horse and sprint. When you reach the next station, immediately change horses and sprint again.

"Spend 10% more? It will always go up."

"Go somewhere else? Avoid them?"

"There's no way around it. There's a notice next to it saying that if someone is found to be buying and selling privately, the person who reports it will get half of the money for the goods."

"Where did you get such a huge reward?"

"Confiscate it, take away all our things and those belonging to the merchants of Tang Dynasty."

"Will someone report it?"

"What do you think?"

"If it were me, I would report it."

"My own people will report it, as long as they are not the cargo on the same ship."

The barbarian merchants were depressed, spending more money meant 10% less profit.

"Pay it. If you pay 50% of the tax, you can still make a lot of money."

"Datang does nothing but makes money directly."

"The notice says that the dock will be repaired and there will be a warehouse."

"Many of their merchants are using a voucher called Lijiazhuangzi. Do you have any?"

"I exchanged it for several hundred coins, all of which were one cent. They were used as money at my place. I guarantee that they will be very useful."

"I'll try too."

The topic of the Yi merchants changed to exchange coupons. The taxes mentioned by Datang were within their tolerance.

Their profit is not 20%. For one trip, their profit is at least five times, and even more than ten times in some places.

There was a group of people standing on the beach, people with weapons, and Qin Shui was sitting under a woven straw parasol shed drinking ice water.

Her people are responsible for security and help inspect the goods.

People in Guangzhou Prefecture used to be able to make some money, but when they saw a new group of people coming in to grab business, some people wanted to cause trouble.

When he found out that the other party was Tan Shui from the Qin family village in Luzhou, he gave up the idea instantly.

Especially the goods and manpower, not all of them belong to the Qin family. There are members and manpower in various villages in a large area of ​​Luzhou.

If you dare to hurt her, within a month, believe it or not, a hundred thousand soldiers will come out to attack here?

The Tang court would not provoke so many mountain people for a person who took the initiative to stir up trouble.

If you are caught by them, no, you should commit suicide before being caught and give yourself a good time.

"Aren't you afraid of getting sick after drinking so much ice water?" Wei Yuefeng and Zhang Jiuling were both there.

Wei Yuefeng saw that Qin Shui kept drinking ice water and was worried that there would be something wrong with him.

"I won't drink it after finishing this bowl. Our winter doesn't freeze, so there's no way to store ice. Fortunately, we can use saltpeter to make ice. I haven't enjoyed it before."

Tan Shui showed a pitiful expression, life was hard!

“The proprietor said that in the future, if there is no ice locally, we can use ships to load ice on ships from Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places.

When it is transported here, the ice will not melt too much. There is a dock, and the merchants have a lot of money. Selling to them, there are also barbarian merchants. "

The Yulin Flying Riders were drinking tea, green tea, their welfare, and talking about the future.

Li Yi said that when ships go to sea, fresh water is not easy to preserve. There are several methods.

One is that he has a way to distill seawater and then use saltpeter to condense it by refrigeration.

One is to bring a big wine barrel with rice wine inside, and drink the rice wine to quench your thirst. The rice wine will not go bad if it is stored well.

One is to bring ice and eat it while walking.

One is canned fruit, which is a large bottle of canned fruit that can be opened by a boatload of people and eaten. It is said that it can also supplement vitamins and so on.

If the boat is big enough, you can even grow vegetables, carrying soil and pots for fertilizer.

Instead of raising pigs on the ship, we should raise horses. The proprietor said there were no horses in another place.

Qin Shui took another sip of ice water: "We also want to build a big ship. Ah Da said he wants to be a native of the Tang Dynasty. It's okay to pay a little money every year."

"Why?" Zhang Jiuling didn't think the other party needed to pay rent. The Tang Dynasty couldn't control them.

"Go to Li Dongzhu. We are natives of the Tang Dynasty. Ask Li Dongzhu how to live a good life.

In fact, it's not just my Qinjia village and the several villages that have made marriages. Other villages farther away are willing to do so after knowing that we have arrived in Chang'an.

Willing to ask Li Dongzhu to do things, Li Dongzhu can actually let the three prime ministers go over to discuss things. No, the three prime ministers are greedy and go over to eat."

Qin Shui was very proud when talking about this. The prime minister, such a big official, he met all of them.

Zhang Jiuling rubbed his temples: "Do you think it's good to meet the prime minister? Don't you think there are people in Lijiazhuang who are afraid of the prime minister?"

"The three prime ministers chatted with Li Dongzhu very casually, how..." Qin Shui stopped when he said this.

She is not stupid at all. As the "princess" of such a big village, she can still be sent out to do business, which proves her intelligence and emotional intelligence.

"Is that so? Oh my God! We were able to enter the Li family village because..." Tan Shui's face changed.

"Because Li Yi wants to know what's going on here, and if he feels wronged in the future, don't rush to attack the state capital, send someone to find Li Yi."

Zhang Jiuling took the opportunity to smuggle private goods, and now the position of governor of Luzhou is still vacant.

Qin Shui laughed: "Yes, next time someone does something bad to us, we will ask Li Yi what to do? If he doesn't give us benefits, we will attack the prefecture.

But we don't kill people indiscriminately, we won't kill people like us, and we won't kill those who don't resist.

We want to catch people, and when we catch them, we will tell Li Yi, is a governor worth a gold or silver mine?"

Zhang Jiuling: "..."

Wei Yuefeng's eyes widened: "Do you think attacking the prefecture and arresting the governor are just playing house?"

"Yeah! I feel like playing house in Li's manor, it's very interesting." Qin Shui nodded repeatedly.
