Kyogoku Yuki's eyes flashed for a moment, and she lowered her head slightly and began to ponder.
Just as she expected, Wu Nian survived the drought and locust plague. And she also gained further favor from Wu Nian because of her help in times of need and food.
Wu Nian lived up to his expectations and quickly defeated Wang Zhongbi, captured Nanhai Prefecture, occupied the three prefectures, and even led Wei Ru into Haitian County.
The forces of General Fu Han have reached the four prefectures.
Wu Nian is her favorite hero.
Kyogoku Yukiri thought of this, raised his head slightly, looked at the lower half of Wu Nian's face politely, bowed with a low eyebrow and said: "General. As far as I know, the Fuhan General's Mansion was created on the spot, so there are different The system is not perfect."
"There is no Ship Division among them."
Wu Nian felt very comfortable with Kyogoku Yuki's attitude. I wonder if all Fuso women are so submissive.
Immediately, Wu Young lowered his head gently and muttered, "Shibo Division."
Kyogoku Yuki is right.
The State of Chu had a shipping department.
This is a yamen specialized in foreign trade. It has the functions of collecting commercial taxes and extracting goods. For example, for bulk commodities, the Shipping Department has the right to look at the name of the goods and extract 10% or even 20% of the goods as tax.
Generally, maritime trade is bulky. No merchant would pilot a small boat and carry out maritime trade with just a few goods.
Only goods that are not wanted by the Shipping Department are allowed to be bought and sold privately. Otherwise, if you don't go through the Shipping Department, it's smuggling.
Will be severely punished.
To put it simply, it is the customs, responsible for customs duties.
In Wu Nian's previous life, if he bought a foreign brand car, he had to pay an astonishing amount of tariffs.
And no matter where and in what era, there is such a thing as smuggling.
Specializing in salt and iron, there is smuggling. There is also smuggling at customs. Whether the smuggling situation is serious or not depends entirely on whether the government can crack down hard enough.
For example, smuggling in Chu State was very serious, and the shipping department was shrinking day by day, causing Chu State to lose a lot of tax revenue. The wealthy businessmen are extremely rich.
All the money went to the businessman.
In Liaodong.
Before that, Fuhan General Yamen had only a simple organization responsible for customs duties. Smuggling is not uncommon.
Because it is difficult to prevent smuggling. Li Tianbao's navy has only been established recently.
Second, Nanhai Mansion is also close to the sea and was only recently conquered by him. If the Municipal Shipping Department was established at that time to forcibly collect taxes and goods from maritime merchants, I am afraid that maritime merchants would go to Nanhai Prefecture to land.
But the situation is different now.
Li Tianbao's Wanhu Navy already has combat effectiveness. Establish a Municipal Shipping Department to cooperate with the navy, and then equip an anti-smuggling army under the Municipal Shipping Department.
Defenses were deployed along Nanhai Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture, and all businessmen who did not pay taxes were hanged.
Collect all taxes.
City Ship Division. In fact, it is the same as Liu Zhixing's re-measurement of land, uncovering hidden fields, and making large households pay taxes again.
Just one is for the common people and landlords, and the other is for maritime merchants.
You have to pay what is due.
If you don't pay, I'll hang you.
Of course it's profitable. But the problem is also huge.
First of all, the market in Liaodong is not big. His subordinates only control three mansions. Even if you search high and low, you won't be able to get much money.
Now he is going to recruit six soldiers from ten thousand households and give them food and wages to eighteen thousand households.
Again. Even if maritime merchants did not land from Nanhae Prefecture or Guangchuan Prefecture, they could still land from Goguryeo and then smuggle.
on the contrary. He set up a municipal shipping department, which required a large bureaucracy and high management costs.
The effect is slow, and water far away cannot save the fire near.
but.
In the long run, sooner or later he will sweep through the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong. The market will also expand accordingly. It is also good to establish a shipping company now to make plans for the future and increase a little bit of income.
"Miss Kyogoku is right. It's time for me to establish a shipping department." Wu young man nodded lightly and said to Kyogoku Yukiri.
As a large merchant, Kyogoku Yuki was able to make suggestions for him to establish a shipping department.
She really had her "elbows turned out."
Wu Nian's original intention was to let Kyogoku Yuki come up with ideas to see if there was any profitable business and take him with him.
But in the end.
From power comes money. At present, it seems that the most profitable business is Shibo Division.
Seeing that her opinion was adopted by Wu Nian, Kyogoku Yuki's eyebrows showed a little joy. But she didn't just want to give advice. After considering her tone, she bowed and said cautiously: "General, please forgive me. Are you short of money?"
"My Kyogoku family is willing to contribute fifty thousand taels of silver."
Wu Nian was speechless about this.
From the first meeting, this girl wanted to give herself money. The first time I stuffed five thousand taels of silver, I actually accepted it.
Now I want to stuff myself with money.
But the Kyogoku family is really rich, with fifty thousand taels of silver. For many wealthy businessmen, this is an astronomical figure.
Wu Nian was a little moved, but in the end he suppressed it. Putting aside his relationship with the Kyogoku family, it's not good to rely on a businessman to pay for a war.
"Thank you Miss Jingji for your kindness. But I appreciate the fifty thousand taels of silver." Wu Nian raised his head and said.
Kyogoku Yuki was a little disappointed that he couldn't get away with the money, but he didn't mess around. Instead, she bowed and apologized: "It was Xueli who was careless."
"No, miss, you also have good intentions." Wu Nian said seriously and sincerely.
If he were an ordinary businessman, Wu Nian would doubt the other party's intentions. But Kyogoku Yuki, the two have a friendship that has grown out of the wind and rain, so they are not included in this list.
Kyogoku Yuki still felt that she was being reckless and became more and more cautious. Wu Nian said something to her and let her go.
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Kyogoku Yuri's back unconsciously.
It is said that Miss Kyogoku has a very pretty face, with snow-white skin, but she has a flat chest. From the front, she looks really miserable.
But her buttocks are plump, her waist is very thin, and her back is absolutely stunning when she takes small steps.
Wu Nian watched unconsciously and didn't pay much attention.
"Shibo Division?" Wu Nian murmured to himself for a while, still a little disappointed. Far water cannot dissolve near fire.
But the next moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Wu Nian's mind. Then there was a roar in his mind. Wu Nian sat in silence for a long time, a pair of tiger eyes flashing with brilliance.
I seem to have overlooked a very important issue.
I am a country.
The country is mine.
In this land of three palaces, I am omnipotent.
I knew it a long time ago. The fastest way to make money is to print money. But there is no such condition yet.
But there is one thing I can do.
It might allow me to make a lot of money in one fell swoop.
As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.
But there is another idiom.
It's called, making something out of nothing.
