Chapter 1487: Not a Fraud License
"The court should send an order, right?" Huang An was not worried about the mountain people in the past. He wanted to write a letter to Song Jing.
Private letter, tell me how the local operation is done. This matter cannot be brought to the official.
Li Feng shook his head: "I can't say it, because it doesn't exist. What does gossip have to do with us?"
"Yes!" Huang An was helpless.
He was convinced. The five managers of Lijiazhuang were so good at calculating people. The managers were of course trained by the owner.
It is conceivable that Li Yi, the owner of Lijiazhuang, was so good at calculating people.
The matter was not complicated. As soon as Zhang Jiuling left, the people of Lijiazhuang immediately took over all the affairs of Guangzhou Prefecture.
First, the problems of the people and the mountain people were dealt with, and then there were gossips.
That's right, the Tang Dynasty court felt that there were too many merchant ships for trade and it was inconvenient to manage.
After the New Year, only five quotas were opened, and the other merchant ships were included in these five quotas.
How to calculate the quota? See who has a large trade volume, and then give points, and the one with the highest score gets the quota.
In addition to the volume of trade, the extra points are for grain. As long as there is enough grain, the points will be high.
When the news came out, the foreign merchants and local merchants asked about it. The people from the Maritime Customs had an ambiguous attitude, neither saying yes nor no.
Later, there was a rumor that the people from the Maritime Customs were ordered to keep silent.
All of a sudden, the foreign merchants went crazy. There were only five places. Whoever got one of them would have many people relying on him. Wouldn't it be...
This method was the country's policy towards Macau at that time of Li Yi, the casino license.
If you want to gamble legally, get a license. I don't care how many small ones you have collected under your genuine license. You can decide for yourself what to pay for the genuine license.
So Macau is very stable. The casino has the final say in the local social situation. You can spend the chips from the casino as money.
Li Yi's license at that time was real, but the one in Guangzhou now is fake and does not exist at all.
Li Feng knew that the foreign merchants hoarded good things and shipped them slowly, creating the illusion of shortage of goods and raising prices.
Because Li's village did this. The soy sauce, fermented bean curd, tea eggs, etc. were clearly available at the beginning, which means that production has reached its limit.
He extorted a sum of money and also took the grain.
The barbarian merchants saw the local situation and could not find other opportunities. The Yulin Flying Cavalry and Lijia Manor were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
They robbed for the license.
Run back as fast as possible to get things, and grain is more important.
The trade volume suddenly increased, supply exceeded demand, and the price of the barbarian merchants' goods decreased.
Li Feng joined other merchants from the Tang Dynasty to lower the price, and he also received the goods himself.
He lowered the price of the barbarian merchants, and the price of the goods he exchanged was still the original price, with a profit difference in the middle.
There was more grain, and these were the first two batches. More barbarian merchants would come with goods and grain in the future.
Can such a thing be officially reported? What a joke? We didn't say it, it was a rumor.
Huang An was scared, really scared.
One is that the price of foreign goods of barbarian merchants is lower, and there is more grain; the other is that barbarian merchants will not be able to raise prices in the future unless all barbarian merchants unite.
However, he estimated that if barbarian merchants dared to unite, Lijia Manor's means would be more powerful, and they would not be afraid of your union.
I heard that when the merchants in Chang'an bought soy sauce and other things, they united and finally knelt down.
"What if an insider leaks the news?" Huang Lun, the magistrate of Dongguan County, said, and looked at the leaders of the local mountain people.
"Mr. Huang, why are you looking at me? What benefit can I get from talking about it? Angering Li Dongzhu?
My village is still counting on Li Dongzhu to live a good life. If the matter is exposed, I will be skinned and burned by the people in the village."
A village chief glared at Huang Lun, I am still worried about you, I don't believe any of you officials.
"I didn't look at anyone, I drank too much and was confused." Huang Lun hid quickly, he hasn't touched a sip of wine yet.
"It doesn't matter if you tell others, because this matter can come true." Li Feng said, don't fight internally, there can be quotas.
"It's not the season for grain harvest elsewhere. The barbarian merchants take out the stored things and grain. It will be cheaper later, right?"
Huang An changed the subject and considered the purchase price.
"We sell fishing nets. Cotton and linen blended fishing nets are stronger than pure linen and can be used for a longer time." Li Feng said another thing.
"What's the use?" Qin Shui doesn't drink, she eats roasted buffalo meat.
"There are more fish catches, but less demand for food. Because of the tropical climate outside, the food production is high, which is just right for us to purchase.
Our seaside catches will also increase with the use of new nets, and they will be made into dried products and transported inland in a relay manner.
When the food production and seafood production in Guangzhou and Luzhou and other places increase, after deducting the transportation costs, they can still help the inland."
Li Feng elaborated on the impact of regional commodity circulation without local restrictions on the surrounding areas.
As long as there is no idea of local protection, even after deducting the transportation costs, it can still radiate the price of similar and similar commodities in other places.
This is called the unity of macroeconomic regulation and market economy, and it is common knowledge in political economics, not high-end at all.
Huang An and other local officials bowed their heads and felt uncomfortable.
A farmer, after listening to what he said, he needed to think for a long time before he could understand the truth.
I am a person with a good reputation, I passed the imperial examination, is it possible that my reputation is worthless now?
"My family will catch more fish in the future?" Tan Shui didn't care how uncomfortable the official was, she didn't take the official seriously in her heart.
Can an official be compared to the farmers in Li's manor? What a joke?
"We need craftsmen and big ships. It is better to go by water from Luzhou to Chang'an by land than by sea.
There will be trains in Haizhou in the future, and we can unload goods when we arrive, which is convenient for transportation.
And big ships can go to the ocean and fish farther from the shore.
Land is the basis of our survival, but who stipulates that we must use small boats on land for economic activities?
Investing in big ships, catching bigger fish in deeper seas, and using bottom nets to catch shellfish and corals, isn't it an economic behavior?"
Li Feng said to Qin Shui, don't limit yourself, the court didn't say that local areas are not allowed to build big ships.
Do you have to use a small boat to cast nets on the seashore? If you go further out to sea, more fish will be waiting for you.
"No, I can't. Hurry up and find craftsmen and drawings, I will pay for them. Now many of us are still diving, and some people will never be seen again after diving."
Qin Shui's eyes lit up and he was anxious. Yes, it's okay in his own place.
Why can he only make money around his own village? Build a bunch of big ships, and I will go out to fish and do business.
"Recently, experts are building ships for Datang. When it's almost time, I will help you contact them.
Now you can find skilled craftsmen in the village and go there to learn." Li Feng agreed.
Now there are many ships in Luzhou. If there is a naval battle, Luzhou's fleet can be on the front line.
Moreover, the people of Luzhou are good at swimming, brave, and fearless.
"Well!" Qin Shui was satisfied. Luzhou has learned a lot, and she is not satisfied.
After saying this, she suddenly thought of someone: "Master Li is in Chang'an. How is he now? When the weather is warmer, I want to go to your village, is it okay?"
"Okay! You can go anytime." How dare Li Feng refuse, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
