Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 693, the court is the most powerful backing

"Humph!"

Speaking of the fact that merchant ships were heavily taxed by a small country in the South Seas, Wei Guogong Xu Yu couldn't help but snorted coldly, looking extremely dissatisfied.

"A few days ago, I had a few boats coming back from Java. I didn't earn much money at first, but they collected a tax of [-] taels of silver from a boat here in Java. This trip to Nanyang is for nothing. people work."

Xu Wu said angrily that he was walking sideways in the territory of Daming, but when he arrived in Nanyang, a small Java dared to impose heavy taxes on his own merchant ships.

"Liu Jin~"

"I'll wait until I find out about your expedition to Annan. I don't know if you can go to raid the Nanyang countries along the way, severely frighten these small Nanyang countries who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths, and make decisions for the people of Ming Dynasty?"

Then Xu Wu also turned his head and said to Liu Jin.

Everyone also looked at Liu Jin one after another. Naturally, they came to find Liu Jin for this reason. Of course, everyone knew what happened in the court.

This time, the imperial court is not only as simple as conquering Annan, but also annexing Champa. The meaning of Megatron Nanyang countries is in it. The actions of Nanyang countries have seriously violated the interests of Ming Dynasty.

"XCMG, everyone~"

"Liu Jin's trip to Nanyang is now shouldering the responsibility of sweeping down Nanyang Xiaoxiao and promoting my country's prestige in Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured, everyone can also make a list of losses in Nanyang countries during this period of time and submit it to the imperial court. And settle this account with the Southeast Asian countries."

Liu Jin naturally agreed, and rolled his eyes, thinking about it, they reported their losses first, so that when the time came, it would be an excuse to make trouble. It can be justified, and it can also let these Jiangnan people taste the benefits of foreign wars.

Only after they have tasted the sweetness, they will understand the importance of a country having a strong military force, and then slowly change their attitude of suppressing the military generals Xungui Group.

"really?"

When Hu Xian heard this, he regained his energy immediately, and quickly asked, "I have a ship that was ransacked in Malacca. The crew was killed and the cargo was robbed. I don't know where the ship went."

"Mr. Hu, please don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. No matter who is found, they will definitely make you ten times the compensation."

"Hmph, these small countries in the South Seas used to plunder the wealth of my Ming Dynasty in the name of paying tribute, and now they directly robbed my merchant ships and people of the Ming Dynasty. This is really an act of barbarism. My Ming Dynasty should severely punish them all. fan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin quickly patted his chest and said.

"Master Liu, I offer you a toast!"

After receiving Liu Jin's guarantee, Hu Xian raised his wine glass excitedly and said.

"Yes, yes, I must respect Mr. Liu~"

When the others heard this, they immediately raised their glasses and toasted Liu Jin together.

They have always been in the nest, and now they are in a world other than Daming, and they suddenly feel a little helpless. The ship has been robbed, the crew has been killed, and heavy taxes have been imposed. They don't even know what to do. The feeling of crying without tears.

But now, Liu Jin told them very clearly, don't worry, there is Da Ming behind you, and Da Ming's millions of soldiers, Da Ming will definitely make decisions for you and recover your losses.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be~"

Liu Jin smiled and held it up before being gulped down by everyone, and then said slowly: "This year I will carry out tax reform and increase business tax. Many people don't understand why I want to levy business tax, and it's still like this. He worked hard and did not hesitate to offend the powerful and powerful."

When Liu Jin talked about commercial tax, everyone immediately put down their glasses and listened carefully.

Liu Jin's words are obviously not nonsense. The place that opposes the levy of commercial taxes is the Jiangnan area, and it is the big families, businessmen, and landlords in Jiangnan who are present here.

"The reason why the imperial court wants this tax system is to levy commercial tax. There is no other way."

"I, Liu Jin, didn't do it for myself, to get promoted and get rich. I did this for Daming, and for the benefit of everyone in Daming."

"As far as this matter is concerned, the Nanyang countries have seriously damaged the interests of my Ming Dynasty. If it was before, what would our court do?"

Liu Jin thought for a while and asked back.

When Xu Yu, Hu Xian, Zhang Yuan and others heard this, they immediately became deep in thought.

"I'm afraid the imperial court has no way to punish the Nanyang countries."

Hu Xian thought for a while and said.

He used to be a censor and knew the situation of the Ming court very well. In the past, the treasury was empty, the armaments were slack, and the combat power was low. Let alone the expedition to Nanyang, even the grassland people in the north went south every year. There is nothing they can do. They are very useless .

"That's right~"

"In the past, the imperial court had no money, and the army's combat power was low. Even if they wanted to make decisions for me, the merchants of Ming Dynasty, they were powerless."

Liu Jin nodded, and then said: "But it's different now, the imperial treasury is full, our Ming army is strong and strong, even if the Southeast Asian countries are thousands of miles away, my Ming Dynasty can send a hundred thousand troops to go there at will. Conquer, kill and punish them fiercely, and avenge my vengeance for the businessman of Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone nodded their heads. There is no doubt about this. Daming has won several battles in succession, and every time he won a big victory, his own loss was very small, which brought huge benefits to Daming.

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that a strong country is the strongest backing for each of our people. Only when our Ming Dynasty is strong and powerful, we Ming people can stand upright when we walk outside. No one needs to be afraid. Because we have a powerful Ming Dynasty behind us to back us up."

"As for the powerhouses of the Ming Dynasty, at the very least, they need silver. If the imperial court doesn't even have silver in their hands, the imperial court will naturally be unable to do anything."

"Even if it has the heart to back up its own people, it is powerless."

"This is the reason why the imperial court wants to reform the tax system. In the final analysis, it is to make Daming stronger. Only when Daming is strong can it occupy more territory and allow every citizen to hold their backs when they go abroad. Straighten."

Liu Jin finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at these people present.

The tax collection in the Jiangnan area has not been carried out very smoothly. Even with the existence of tax police, the phenomenon of tax evasion in the Jiangnan area is still very serious, and the tax collection has encountered great resistance.

The biggest source of resistance is the big bosses present. If what I said can make them understand something, then it is not in vain.

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books~"

"In the past, I was short-sighted and too short-sighted."

"Master Liu, I'll toast you again."

After a long time, Hu Xian raised his wine glass and toasted Liu Jin again.

"Yes, yes, I will toast Mr. Liu."

Everyone came to their senses one after another, and each of them raised their wine glasses and said.

No matter what Liu Jin said, it was somewhat useful.

These people are the masters of the nest, and they are used to domineering in the three-acre land of Daming. It was only after they left the country that they realized the importance of the imperial court and the importance of having a strong imperial court as their backing.

If you think about it carefully, it really is.

If the imperial court has no money, how can they decide for them?

If the Nanyang countries continue like this, they will only intensify after they have tasted the sweetness. At that time, these Nanyang countries will impose heavier commercial taxes, and more people will loot Ming's merchant ships.

The distant sea trade in Nanyang will disappear in a short time. How many Ming merchants who have suffered heavy losses will dare to go to Nanyang again?
Even at that time, everyone's plantations in Nanyang will be looted by them, and the money invested in Nanyang will be in vain.

After thinking about this clearly, I immediately felt that the tax was indeed to be paid.

"Liu Jin, I don't know if there is any business that can make a lot of money, can you take me with you?"

After talking about state affairs, Xu Wu thought about it and finally opened his mouth. This is the main purpose of looking for Liu Jin. These big businessmen and big families in the south are slow to start, and many of them have been taken over by northerners, so I want To make money, you must come up with new business.

"There are many profitable deals~"

When Liu Jin heard it, he immediately understood. After thinking for a while, he said, "The world is very big. There are many very rich places in the world outside of Ming Dynasty, such as Tianzhu, Burma, Ceylon and Africa."

"For Myanmar, don't look at the poor mountains and rivers in this place, but Myanmar produces jade. As long as we can occupy Myanmar, mining jade mines here in Myanmar is almost more profitable than mining gold or silver mines."

"Let's talk about Ceylon again. Ceylon produces gemstones. Ceylon's gemstones are not only produced in large quantities, but also of very high quality. There are countless gemstone mines, large and small. Those who occupy this place and mine gemstone minerals are all Occupying one or two mountains of gold and silver will be enough for future generations to eat."

"There is also Tianzhu and Africa, where there are also a lot of gold, silver, and diamonds, and the countries in these places are very backward and extremely weak, so it is very easy to occupy them and establish colonies one by one. The local people And very many, easy to rule and manage.”

"It is easy to build huge colonies one by one, mining gold, silver and all kinds of rare treasures."

"We may start late, so we are also in a hurry, so in this new round of colonial expansion, we must seize the opportunity and organize the manpower first."

"When the time comes, as long as the opportunity comes, everyone can go to these places to occupy a colony, or simply organize a large fleet together, armed with giant ships and cannons, and go to these places to establish colonies by yourself. Song can obtain huge land and wealth."

Liu Jin is fooling around, fooling these people to go overseas to open up colonies by themselves. Europeans are like this. Several ships travel around the world, wherever they go, colonies will bloom everywhere in a short period of time.

　Do you think it is necessary to open up civilian armed forces?Only in this way can the development of colonization be accelerated~
