The Ming Dynasty had many strange policies, and once they were set, they could not be changed. The descendants of the Ming Dynasty liked to use the laws of their ancestors as an excuse.
However, the established laws of the Ming Dynasty should not be destroyed, but later they were all destroyed crazily. For example, eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics.
Things that should be destroyed are destroyed very slowly, such as the maritime ban policy.
Xu Qin didn't have the ability, let alone the courage, to confront these die-hards. All he wanted to do was open an opening.
The sea ban does not allow sails to be launched into the sea, so let's not make it so big. Others won't, but he will still learn from the special economic zones of reform and opening up.
When Zhu Di had no money, he asked him for a policy to draw a circle outside Nanjing and establish a special economic zone. Or also called international free trade zone.
However, it couldn't be called that in the Ming Dynasty. It was finally determined that the tribute field was set up in response to Tianfu's grace.
Xu Qin felt that this was the best opportunity and he had to do it before the smuggling trade became bigger.
Otherwise, when civil servants like Liu Daxia rose up in a few years, they would dare to openly burn the charts of Zheng He's voyages to the West for the sake of the family's smuggling business.
At that time, there was great resistance to exploiting the sea ban, but now there is not much resistance. With the temptation of one million taels of silver per year, Zhu Di agreed.
A new tribute method has been determined. As long as it is a vassal state recognized by the Ming Dynasty, trade certificates can be issued according to the amount of tribute.
For example, if a vassal state paid a tribute of 10,000 taels of silver to the Ming Emperor, it would issue a trade certificate worth 100,000 taels of silver.
With the business certificate, you can buy and sell goods worth one hundred thousand taels of silver in the Enshi Quarry.
At the same time, the host and guest officials of the Ming Dynasty also had the right to conduct equivalent trade with vassal countries.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty did not give any rewards in return, but only issued trade certificates. Basically, the ratio is ten to one, which is considered as paying taxes to Ming Dynasty.
From now on, the Shipping Department will only be responsible for checking the goods and prices, and will no longer buy them.
All transactions can only be carried out within the Enset Bank, and the host and customer departments are responsible for verifying the trade documents and total transaction volume.
On this basis, each vassal state recognized the Ming Dynasty's responsibility for maintaining maritime security and cooperated with the Ming Dynasty fleet to combat pirates.
This matter was a small reform of the tribute policy, which drilled a hole in the barrier of the Ming Dynasty's sea ban.
Xia Yuanji, who was crazy about money, strongly supported this method. Zhu Di approved it without any discussion at court. After all, there was a word for favor.
This is a forum specially set up by the emperor for mercy. Mainly the transaction of tribute items. Now the ministers are focusing on important matters and do not care about objections.
Xu Qin was still a fifth-grade doctor, but he had the additional official position of envoy ambassador, which still meant he had power.
That is the meaning of temporary generation.
Xu Qin used three days to ask his supervisor Gao Yu to lead people to further improve this method according to his wishes.
Then he sent it to various envoys in the Huitong Pavilion, and now the Huitong Pavilion fell into a dispute. They do not discuss whether they agree with this approach.
But are they discussing how much tribute to give to the Ming Emperor? Everyone knows that the price of Ming Dynasty porcelain, tea, and silk increased several times or dozens of times as soon as it was exported to the sea.
But if you give more things to the emperor, you will have less to trade. If you give less to the emperor, your transaction quota will not be enough. The balance point in the middle requires careful calculation.
This new method seemed to be a waste of money for the Ming Emperor, but it opened the door to trade. Actually make more in the long run.
Min Wujie, the envoy of North Korea, sent a message directly to ask for a meeting with Xu Qin. His visit this time was not an official mission. The things he brought to the emperor were all Korean paper, as well as eunuchs, maids, straw mats and the like.
These things are not valuable, but he still wants to bring more things back.
"Master Min, North Korea is a recent period of the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally different from other countries. I will report to Your Majesty to increase your quota."
Xu Qin said seemingly understandingly.
"But Mr. Xu, even though I don't have enough money, I can't afford other goods if the quota is too large." Min Wuxie said with some embarrassment.
Xu Qin immediately understood that this guy wanted the quota and the goods. But he has nothing yet.
"It's simple. A Ming Dynasty royal bank will be set up by Enshi Qiangchang. You can borrow money as long as you have the limit, and the interest will be three cents. North Korea is really loyal and loyal, you can trust it."
Xu Qin gave him an idea.
Min Wuxie's eyes lit up when he heard this, if this was the case. You just need to fight for the quota. Things from the Ming Dynasty cost at least twice as much as once they arrived in North Korea.
Then you can make a lot of money.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xu." Min Wuxie said happily.
Xu Qin smiled even more happily, thinking to himself that this person is really dishonest, why don't you give him some gifts? For example, Korean girls or something?
"Although we belong to two countries, we can still be regarded as officials in the same dynasty. Don't be polite if you move around more in the future." Xu Qin said with a smile.
I've already hinted like this, don't you understand? Move around more, Master Min.
Min Wuxie didn't seem to understand, and left happily. Xu Qin thought to himself that you haven't finished your work yet, why are you happy?
If I don't get any benefits, how can I do something for you? Does Bangzi Guoguang produce Bangzi?
Soon, missions from various countries proposed things to buy, mainly focusing on items such as silk, raw silk, porcelain, books, tea, ready-made clothes and even iron pots.
Xu Qin immediately asked the host and customer department to recruit investment according to these things. Once they pass the assessment, these merchants can enter the Enset Exchange Market and conduct transactions with the mission.
However, all merchants who enter must pay a deposit, and the deposit will be deducted immediately if any illegal behavior is discovered.
Once a businessman passes the inspection, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household will jointly issue business certificates, and the first batch will be valid for three years.
"Is there anyone we can use in our family? We are good at business." Xu Qin asked his father Xu Huizu.
It's rare for father and son to sit together and have a glass of wine, so naturally they have something serious to say. This dad has been more honest recently, and Xu Qin is willing to talk to him.
"What do you want to do? Do you have any specific requirements?" Xu Huizu's dazed eyes suddenly became energetic.
"The Xu family has no reason not to take a bite of this fat piece of meat from the Enshe Market. We have to go in and stand firm. It is a long-term business to support the family." Xu Qin said.
Xu Huizu looked at Xu Qin, his eyes filled with relief.
"The Xu family is divided into two. Some people have already joined that branch, and some are still in our family. There are some who can be used. You are too concerned about your head and your buttocks."
Xu Huizu said.
"What does it mean to care about the head but not the bottom? I am just trying to make money to support my family!" Xu Qin didn't know why his father said such a thing.
"Don't just rush forward, but also look behind you to see if there is anyone stabbing you with a knife. How would His Majesty know that you are making money selling seafood?"
Xu Huizu asked.
Xu Qin was stunned, yes, he did this in secret. Zhu Di seemed to know very clearly. Even if Jin Yiwei is pervasive, he doesn't know that clearly.
"Do you think I drink alcohol every day? I'll know it if someone impeaches you. There is a list attached to the impeachment memorial." Xu Huizu said calmly.
Xu Qin was covered in cold sweat.
"Is there a traitor in our family?" Xu Qin asked.
"Is it strange? Which one wants us to die? The division of the family is not clear, so naturally there will be some who take advantage of it. If you have to live up to your expectations, this matter will never end." Xu Huizu said after taking a sip of wine.
Only then did Xu Qin realize that this cheap old man, apart from his axle, was actually more like a sick tiger lying in a cave.
His eyes were fixed on the Xu family jungle.
"In the past, when you didn't live up to your expectations, you just wanted to eat and die. I was too lazy to care. Now that I see you living up to your expectations, I can't ignore it."
Xu Huizu said softly, very formally. Xu Qin suddenly felt that this might be the real Xu Huizu, strategizing.
"Dad, to be honest, if you didn't do this, I would still want to sleep with the maid in the backyard." Xu Qin said it sincerely.
He suddenly didn't understand, how did he get to this point? Don’t you just want to lie down? How come there are so many things to do?
It seems that it is not easy to lie down quietly in any era.
"It's just you and me, father and son, so we don't have to hide our capabilities and bide our time like this." Xu Huizu said boldly.
He didn't believe that Xu Qin was telling the truth.
This place is the Xu family's pavilion, and there is no one around, so the father and son can speak freely and boldly.
Xu Qinxin said, Dad, this is what I really think.
Go back to the backyard and lie down. There is work for the maid to do, but there is no work for the maid to do. Chase the little princess and collect the little beauties. Work hard to give birth to a child for the Xu family.
"Dad, what I said is what I really think. So why don't you cheer up and I'll go back to the backyard to give birth and give you some grandchildren as soon as possible?"
Xu Qin said solemnly.
"Why are you so careful with me? Just be careful with outsiders. I have some trustworthy people, so you can use them."
Xu Huizu didn't believe Xu Qin's words at all, he just believed that his son was hiding his power and biding his time.
He actually gave him part of the person he was covering. Xu Qin was silent and shed tears.
Lao Xu, why do you trust me so much? What have I done? You tell me what I did well, why can’t I change it?
Xu Qin glanced at the list, and Qi Dakeng's name was clearly on it. He didn't know how his daughter, who used the meteor hammer, was doing.
Xu Qin didn't say anything anymore. It was useless to say anything to a person who didn't believe it no matter what he said. After drinking, he went straight back to the backyard to sleep with the maid.
Before he arrived at the back house, he was stopped by Shi Wenxin. This boy had been a little impatient at Xu's residence recently. He finally met Xu Qin today.
"Young Master, I will never forget your great kindness to survive, but you can't support me like this and ask me to do something for you."
Shi Wenxin said it very honestly.
"Why did you hit that Japanese? And so hard?" Xu Qin was very confused about this matter.
He would understand if Xu Fugui rushed out, but this kid had nothing to do with him, why couldn't he just because he saved him from Han Yi?
"My young master doesn't know something. In the second year of Yongle, the Japanese pirates robbed thousands of households in Chuanshan, Zhejiang. The villain's family died in the hands of the Japanese pirates. Their appearance will never be forgotten by the villain."
Shi Wenxin said sadly and angrily. When Xu Qin heard this, he thought that this was really a hatred of the country and the family, and he didn't have a good impression of this group of Japanese people.
But taking the opportunity to retaliate is okay, but killing someone is definitely not okay. After all, they are a mission.
However, Xu Qin would definitely not let go of these people who had a good life. Even if they were lying flat, he would still be willing to use all his strength to deal with these Japanese pirates.
And he has dug a trap to make their little life no longer so good.
"Do you want to repay the courtesy department, or do you want to follow me? You can choose either. Even if I beat the Japanese envoy to you, I will not treat you badly."
Xu Qin said frankly.
"The villain is willing to follow the young prince to make great achievements." Shi Wenxin said and knelt down.
He felt that it was a pleasure to have a confrontation with the young official. First he beat Han Yi and then the Japanese envoy. It was the happiest two days he had spent in these years.
Xu Qin nodded reservedly, but his eyebrows were actually about to fly up. This is really the first little brother I have taken on based on my ability since time travel.
It seems that he also has a bit of a domineering spirit, but he just wants to make achievements and so on. If you really have this intention, go to Japan and rob me of some investigators. That would be a serious matter.
He asked Shi Wenxin to stay and wait for his arrangements. Just as he was about to go back to the backyard to be gentle with Tianxiang, his aunt's personal maid Ying Fei came and said it was the lady's invitation.
It just so happened that he also had something to go to his aunt, and now they happened to be doing it together.
