Qiming 1158

Chapter 1343 Quanzhou is a safe port

In order to demonstrate the strict image of the Ming Dynasty paying attention to laws and regulations, Lin Jingchun adjusted the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade policy and erected a "Fair Trade Monument" in Quanzhou Port.

The stele is engraved with the fair, open and transparent Ming Law on maritime trade, which can be released for anyone to watch.

Don't hide, don't hide.

He publicly declared that although the Ming Dynasty is strong and it is a seller's market, we will never do anything that violates the law. All transactions are conducted within the rules of the law, and we will never break through the restrictions of the law. will be severely punished.

We make the rules of the game, but we also abide by the rules of the game, you can rest assured.

The announcement of this policy was greatly welcomed and favored by overseas merchants, which relieved a lot of their vigilance and fear of Ming during the initial chaotic period.

In the actual operation after that, they also noticed that the people of the Ming Kingdom really followed the rules.

You will be charged as much as you say, no more or less.

Some foreign businessmen tried to use past methods to bribe officials of the Municipal Shipping Department in exchange for favorable conditions. They were severely rejected and recorded in the record. The person was given a punishment such as a demerit, saying that if he dared to commit another crime, he would be thrown away and he would never be allowed to come to Daming. do business.

This news shocked the whole group of foreign businessmen in Quanzhou and made them feel deeply.

The huge [Fair Trade Monument] soon became a place where overseas merchants must "check in" every time they came to Quanzhou, and it became a holy place for Internet celebrities to check in in Quanzhou.

Not only overseas merchants who came to Quanzhou, but also many overseas merchants painted the "Fair Trade Monument" and brought them back to their own countries, telling their relatives or friends in the area that they must come to Quanzhou to see this huge monument. , After reading the inscription on this monument, you can do business safely in Quanzhou.

In order to further attract more big dog owners to come to Quanzhou to buy, buy and sell coins, Lin Jingchun also suggested that the Quanzhou government make Quanzhou a "safe port".

The Quanzhou government has used sufficient security forces and administrative forces to maintain public security, intensified efforts to crack down on various criminal acts, and severely punished petty theft, shoddy goods, and fraudulent acts. Businessmen, directly included in the blacklist, are never allowed to do business in Quanzhou.

Lin Jingchun wants to build Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other traditional big ports into a golden signboard belonging to the Ming Dynasty, advertise it widely, and fight a public opinion campaign, so that Quanzhou and Guangzhou will be further famous in the world.

In this desert era of rules, a commercial port that abides by and maintains the rules is definitely a holy place for businessmen in the world, and even has the energy to turn its own rules into the rules of the world.

Although it has only been three years since the Ming Dynasty controlled Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and trade has only reopened for two and a half years, the fiscal revenue that Quanzhou and Guangzhou have brought to the Ming Dynasty in the past two and a half years has reached a relatively high point in the Southern Song Dynasty.

A complete breakthrough is only a matter of time.

Quanzhou's fiscal revenue is very abundant, and more money can be spent to build ports and cities, as well as other county towns and roads in Quanzhou. The high infrastructure construction in the entire Quanzhou makes Quanzhou more prosperous and dynamic.

As a result, Quanzhou has become one of the few cities in the entire Jiangnan region that fully replicates the governance method of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only has a complete government, judicial and public security system, but also public toilets, schools, capable revival organizations, and a powerful propaganda department.

Before the war to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Marine Corps of the East China Sea Division fully deployed various strategic points in Quanzhou. The Quanzhou government informed overseas merchants that everything was within the control of Daming, and they could rest assured to do business in Quanzhou, but they must be careful not to [colluding with] unfriendly people.

If there is collusion, they will not only lose the opportunity to do business in Quanzhou forever, but also risk their lives.

As a result, when the nine major local merchants colluded with foreign landlords, in addition to the intelligence collection of the Skynet Army, a Japanese businessman, a Europa businessman, and a black-clothed food businessman also reported to the Quanzhou government.

The three foreign businessmen said that when they inquired about business intelligence, they accidentally inquired about the rebellion. After learning about the situation, they felt very scared and worried that something would happen, so they immediately informed the Quanzhou government of the news.

The intelligence that these three people spied on is still valuable, and it has played a positive role in the operations of the East Sea Division Marine Corps.

Afterwards, these three people were rewarded by the Quanzhou government, awarded special certificates and bounties, and engraved their names on the [Fair Trade Monument] to commemorate their contributions to safeguarding the harmony and stability of Quanzhou. .

Afterwards, these three merchants were designated by the Quanzhou government as the head of their respective Fan districts, and they were specially responsible for dealing with the Ming government. As a result, their status in their respective Fan districts rose sharply, and they became able to gain face and fruit. They are very envious.

After this incident, the relationship between the foreign businessmen groups in Quanzhou Port and the Ming government became closer, and they were more willing to abide by the rules, and even more willing to cooperate with the Ming government than local businessmen.

For example, Lin Jingchun decided to expand the area of ​​Quanzhou City and broke ground. Several foreign businessmen in the Fan District collectively raised funds to purchase building materials, hired workers, and took the initiative to help the government start work.

Five good citizens belong to yes.

The order and prosperity of Quanzhou Port has been rising steadily under a series of operations by Lin Jingchun and the Quanzhou government. Big improvement, can do more things.

This makes Quanzhou into a virtuous circle of development.

At this moment when the war has not yet been extinguished, the value of Quanzhou is more clearly highlighted, so Su Yonglin also has a lot of expectations for Quanzhou.

So Su Yonglin took the time to meet these three businessmen.

When the three of them learned that Emperor Daming wanted to see them, they were so excited that they couldn't even speak the Chinese they had already mastered.

Su Yonglin smiled and asked them not to be restrained, then gave them a seat, talked with them, encouraged them to continue to cooperate with Daming officials, make more contributions to Daming, and asked about the customs, national policies, local policies, etc. of their countries. .

They looked happy and knew nothing about it.

To the Japanese businessman, Su Yonglin asked a little about the domestic situation in Japan, and asked them whether they were eating well, whether they were well dressed, whether the country was peaceful, whether the supreme ruler was healthy, and so on.

The Japanese businessman seemed very honest to Su Yonglin, but replied that the country is not peaceful and healthy, there are some opposing forces and they are at war with each other endlessly, so many Japanese who hate war came to Quanzhou to do business, and settled in Quanzhou by the way, hoping to live a peaceful life life.

By the way, he praised Su Yonglin and knelt down and licked Su Yonglin, saying that he hoped Daming could bring them the peace they long for.

Then he babbled about the contradictions between the domestic warriors and the nobles, and some gossip between a man named Hei Qingsheng and their emperor.

In the words, it is revealed that this person appreciates Ping Qingsheng, and believes that everything Ping Qingsheng has done is very meaningful, especially his foreign trade policy has made many businessmen profitable.

Saying this from the mouth of this Japanese businessman made Su Yonglin feel that this person has a high status in Japan, and he should also be a member of the upper social circle.

But in any case, as long as he is willing to contribute to Quanzhou and abide by the rules, then he is a valuable person to Daming.
