Qiming 1158

Chapter 1149 A new challenge begins
Making money is a very important topic. Although the Ming Kingdom is not short of money now, it is difficult to say that it will require a lot of capital investment when doing something in the future.

It is generally acknowledged that the Southern Song Dynasty can make money, and it is widely recognized that they cannot ignore their ability to make money and their ability to play overseas trade because of their reactionary and sinful behavior.

What should be learned should be learned, and what should be abandoned should be completely abandoned. In practical government affairs, diodes must not be used.

The officials nodded and expressed their understanding of Su Yonglin's opinion.

Then Su Yonglin asked Lin Jingchun to make some preparations.

"We haven't had the Shibo Division in the past, nor have any experience in setting up management, so after taking over the Shibo Division in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, we need to get familiar with the work there as soon as possible.

I will ask the Southern Song Dynasty to provide us with some help, but we have to prepare ourselves. Your side will lead the establishment of a Ship Management Department under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance as soon as possible, and select some young and capable officials to add it.

If you need any relevant books, bring them up, and I will arrange for the Skynet Army to find them for you, and then you have to organize these officials to make up for this knowledge. "

"I see."

Lin Jingchun nodded, his eyes full of excitement: "If this is done, it will be a lot of money, and the income of several million dollars will increase, how many great things can be done!"

"Don't be too happy too soon."

Su Yonglin said with a smile: "It's not that simple to eat this money safely and securely. Not to mention the operation of the Shibo Company, many of the commodities that the merchants in the Fan countries need are beyond our ability to produce. Or only the Southern Song Dynasty can produce and sell.

We only control the port and the shipping department, and we may still need to cooperate with merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty. How to carry out this cooperation, how to clarify the stakes, and how to prevent our officials from being corrupted are all very serious. The problem.

Before we completely control the commercial trade of the Southern Song Dynasty, how to do a good job of this third party between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Fan Kingdom, and maintain the continuous operation of the shipping department and the port, is still a big problem for us.

If there is a problem at that time, I suggest that you, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, go directly to Quanzhou and handle affairs on the spot. If all these things are handled well, we will control the economic lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty.

When the Southern Song Dynasty is pacified and the economy is in control, the difficulty of the war will be greatly reduced, and the smooth transition after the war will be relatively simple. "

After Lin Jingchun heard the words, he thought for a while and felt that there was something in Su Yonglin's words.

"Control the commercial trade of the Southern Song Dynasty? You mean we are going to attack the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Commercial war is also war, but if you can't win it militarily, don't expect it to win in business."

Su Yonglin sneered: "After the war, we can take advantage of our military to organize caravans to enter the Southern Song market and forcefully acquire the producers of goods that foreign businessmen need, so as to control the lifeline of the Southern Song Dynasty's foreign commerce and trade."

"This... can they agree?"

"As I said, if you can't win in the military, you will have to wait for the entire army to be wiped out in business. If you have the ability, they can resist me."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "If we only control the port and the shipping company, the merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty and the bureaucratic dignitaries behind them will still make money, but if we control the production side, we can control everything in our hands."

Lin Jingchun understood what Su Yonglin meant.

Not only must they crippling the Southern Song Dynasty militarily, but also politically control the Southern Song Dynasty, and economically eat the Southern Song Dynasty.

In this way, there is nothing left in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Those foreign trade merchants said that what they want is commodities, and they want high-quality commodities, so that they can take them back and make money. As for who provides the commodities, it does not matter.

If they're smart enough, they know they shouldn't care about it, let alone care about it.

If they care, get out of Quanzhou and never come back.

If you dare to do anything, prepare to be buried in the sea to feed the fish.

Lin Jingchun completely understood what Su Yonglin meant.

"Since you said it like this, I fully understand what to do, I also know what to do. I will definitely go to Quanzhou and Guangzhou at the beginning, and then I will run between Quanzhou and Guangzhou for a while to solve specific problems. Let's be clear... it's better to prepare now, it's almost too soon, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, these eight characters haven't been written yet. It will take at least three or five months for us to settle in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and before you move in, you still need to let the army take the lead in showing military might."

Su Yonglin's eyes gradually turned cold, and he smiled: "There are many people in this world who are fearful of power but not virtuous, and there is no army to show my great power, let alone the local Southern Song merchants, even those from the Fan country will probably do something. Things are tempting Daming, and I can't allow this situation."

This is not groundless speculation, but a well-founded one.

In the early days of world connectivity, in a barbaric era without international law, those who can ride the wind and waves at sea must not only have courage, but also be ruthless, and even be horrific.

But for those who succeed, although they look well-dressed, there are many people who lick blood behind their backs.

Business transactions have never been polite since ancient times. Hello, me, everyone, there are many people who directly use the knife if they disagree. It is estimated that these seafarers are not only business travelers, but also part-time pirates, or their own pirates. , part-time maritime businessman.

Usually doing business, seeing something good immediately turns into a pirate, this kind of person is not uncommon, even with pirates and maritime merchants, it is not surprising.

Don't let them know the power of the Ming Dynasty and the majesty of the law, it is really difficult to manage this cunning and blood-licking generation in the city.

It is really necessary to kill a few people at that time.

There is a reason why the Southern Song Dynasty attached so much importance to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and it was not without reason that the government in the Ming and Qing dynasties set up the Shibo Division so cautiously.

While earning a lot of taxes, they also have to bear extremely expensive administrative costs and maintenance costs. If this work is not done well, Quanzhou and Guangzhou may become the Eastern Gotham City of this era at any time.

Before government agencies are stationed, Quanzhou and Guangzhou must go through a period of military management, slaying those cunning businessmen, and let them know the majesty of the Ming government. many.

At the central meeting, after a period of deliberation, everyone initially reached some meaningful consensus, and then sorted out a formal request.

At the same time, Su Yonglin also asked the staff to order that the Pinghai Division stationed in the Liaodong area should allocate about one-third of its troops to prepare to go south, and then assist the Weihai Division in handling the garrison affairs.

From the current point of view, the Ming Central Committee has decided to set up three new Ming naval garrison points in Lin'an Port, Quanzhou Port, and Guangzhou Port.

In addition, a representative office of the Ming Kingdom should be set up in Lin'an City. The representative office needs to have a certain area, and all safety management is the responsibility of the Ming Kingdom.

That is to say, the new Ming-Song Peace Treaty requires not only the Southern Song Dynasty to recognize the previous five articles, but also to increase the ceded land and increase the garrison point in Lin'an City.

In the additional terms of the ceded land, it is clearly stipulated that the Quanzhou Guangzhou Port and Shibo Division are owned by the Ming Dynasty. If the Southern Song Dynasty merchants want to come to do business, the laws and taxes must be in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty. objection.

"Under the new situation, we need to deal with new changes with a new attitude. The new era is coming, and we must deal with military, political and economic issues at the same time. In the past, we put politics and military first. Put economic problems behind.

In the next situation, we need to elevate the economy to a level as important as military politics, and handle economic issues carefully. These issues that affect the whole body need to be handled with caution and must not be slack! "

"Here!"

Central officials agreed in unison.

A new era has come, a new challenge has begun, and the central government of the Ming Dynasty and the revival organization have begun to act.
