Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 120 Qi!shake!cold!
First of all, Zhu Jinsong has been thinking about Kunlun slaves who he wants to use as laborers.

The Tiandihui and Jinyiwei's staff in Guangdong finally found Xiyi who could get Kunlun slaves. If it wasn't for Zhu Jinsong who only wanted castrated Kunlun slaves, I am afraid that the first batch of Kunlun slaves should be shipped.

This is definitely good news.

It is not a day or two for Zhu Jinsong to miss the Kunlun slaves.

For Zhu Jinsong, it is much more cost-effective to use Kunlun slaves than to use his own people for certain extremely dangerous tasks such as mining or digging mountains——

The people in my family are all treasures, and it takes a long time to feel distressed if one dies. There is no need to feel distressed about Kunlun slaves, but you can buy one for only a few taels of silver.

Don't say that human rights are not human rights, that crap is simply used by poor settlers who become nobles and then use it to fool the nobles who have lost their families and the second fools who haven't fully evolved. In fact, it is not even as useful as using the toilet. of paper.

Whoever believes has no brains.

Especially as an emperor, what he should do is to be a sage inside and a king outside, instead of being brainwashed by such mindless remarks.

And the second good news is actually closely related to the first good news.

After all, the main thing is that Qian Deaf and the old dog played the shrinking tactics. My Qing Dynasty completely abandoned [-] of the [-] provinces in Han, and directly killed those Xiyi who stayed in Guangdong. Confused.

Admit that the Qing Dynasty is orthodox. The Qing Dynasty has run away. Let’s admit that Mei Chunyao’s regime occupied Guangdong and Guangxi. Mei Chunyao only occupied a part of Guangdong and Guangxi. The rebels in Yun, Gui, Hu, and Jiangxi also wanted to get rid of Mei Chunyao to occupy Guangdong and Guangxi, especially Guangdong, which has thirteen lines, is the sweet pastry in the eyes of these big and small rebels. .

That is to say, Mei Chunyao's territory was not big in the first place, plus he had to fight back and forth with rebels, big and small, so the business of those barbarians who traded with the Guangdong Thirteen Banks was inevitably affected. influences.

If the business is affected, it means that the vain money is affected. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Xiyi people who have milk and are mothers.

So, after connecting with the Tiandihui and Jinyiwei, these Xiyi people were excited.

Mei Chunyao's regime was unstable, but Zhu Jinsong occupied Shandong and Henan provinces, and Lin Shuangwen, who occupied Daliuqiu and Fujian, also publicly recognized Zhu Jinsong as the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty, saying that the entire Fujian and Daliuqiu belonged to Zhu Jinsong's Ming Dynasty Under the imperial court, what is this?
This means a new treaty port, which means a new market, which means a lot of money.

Therefore, a group of Xiyi people in Guangdong planned to send someone to contact Zhu Jinsong to see if they could open trade ports in Dengzhou, Quanzhou and other places.

As for the Qing Dynasty?

Sorry, we don't seem to know each other very well?
After Zhu Jinsong received the relevant information, he was also very interested in it.

Although Zhu Jinsong got back books such as "Illustration of Military Weapons", "Illustration of Qiqi" and other books as well as blueprints and documents of treasure ships from Qian Deaf Old Dog, but there is one who can understand Xiyi and take the opportunity to get back some more advanced ones. Zhu Jinsong is not willing to let go of the way of technology no matter what.

Zhu Jinsong is not like a deaf old dog.

Qian deaf old dog is the more he understands the development and trend of the world, the more closed the country, because he is worried that the [-] million Han people under his rule will rebel.

But Zhu Jinsong is not worried about this at all.

If one day, the people of the whole world will unite to let him, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, fall from the throne, it can only show that something is wrong with him, not the people of the world.

It's just that when the so-called "British envoy" first arrived in Jinan, Zhu Jinsong couldn't be happy.

The "British Envoy" proposed the establishment of treaty ports in several places such as Dengzhou, Quanzhou, Songjiang Prefecture, and Dengzhou, as well as the request for Ming to set up customs and publish tax rules so that British businessmen could pay taxes according to regulations. These two requirements were put forward by Zhu Jinsong It seemed quite normal, and Zhu Jinsong had no intention of refusing.

But what the hell is the requirement to borrow a piece of land in the Great Liuqiu so that British merchant ships can berth, live, and store goods there?

What the hell is giving British merchants the same rights as Ming merchants under Zhu Jinsong?

Cancellation of the entrepot tax rate between these treaty ports and Guangzhou, what the hell is the requirement of tax exemption or tax reduction for British goods shipped to Guangzhou at these treaty ports?

Seeing the so-called "special envoy's document" in his hand, Zhu Jinsong laughed angrily.

Is this taking my Ming Dynasty as the Qing Dynasty?

The conditions put forward by the so-called "British envoy", except for the addition of treaty ports, the establishment of customs, and the announcement of tax rules, are quite normal, and the remaining few conditions are completely playing people like fools!
For example, in the process of receiving the British mission, the Qing Dynasty regarded itself as the boss of the Celestial Dynasty and regarded trade as a tribute. The behavior of the origin of the raw materials, even the old dog who is deaf and deaf, knows to reject it categorically.

"None of them are feasible!", "All the rulers and soils of the heavenly dynasty belong to the books, and the borders are dense, even the islands and sandbars must be demarcated and divided, and each has its own exclusive rights. This is especially inconvenient."

I am a dignified traveler, it is impossible to compare with Qian Deaf and the old dog, right?
So Zhu Jinsong threw the so-called "special envoy document" on the ground, and said to Ke Zhiming with a sneer, "You want to lease land? Do you want to be like the people of Ming Dynasty? A tax rate of less than [-]% is too high? "

"Are they treating my Ming Dynasty as the Qing Dynasty? Let me tell me where they came from!"

Ke Zhiming picked up the so-called "special envoy's document" from the ground without hesitation, and then returned it to the so-called "British special envoy", and conveyed Zhu Jinsong's original words verbatim: "The emperor said, Wait, this is taking my Ming Dynasty as the Qing Dynasty? Wherever you come from, go back to where you are!"

Several so-called "British envoys" were also confused by this series of events.

Is there a problem with requesting the opening of a treaty port?Is there a problem with requesting the establishment of customs and publishing the tax rate?Ask me British businessmen to have some human rights problems in your Ming country?Is there a problem with requesting a lower tariff?
Totally fine.

Besides, even if you can't agree to certain conditions, then let's discuss it carefully, and let people go where they come from?

This is the state of etiquette that you call yourself?

gas!shake!cold!
After looking at each other for a while, all the trembling "British envoys" turned their attention to the leader, John Howard.

And Howard had to suppress the anger in his heart, bowed to Ke Zhiming and said, "Dear Mr. Official, I wonder which of these clauses your emperor is dissatisfied with?"

Ke Zhiming sneered and said, "What do you think? Want to lease land? Want to be like the people of Ming Dynasty? A tax rate of less than [-]% is too high?"

When Ke Zhiming said this, Howard, the leader, was immediately stunned.

Let’s not talk about renting land to live in and use it as a warehouse, but what’s wrong with wanting to be like you Ming people?What's wrong with this?

We women are not allowed to enter your city, we are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, we are not allowed to buy Chinese books, we are not allowed to learn Chinese, we are only allowed to enter the city 3 times a month and no more than 10 people each time, and we have to pay you back People follow at any time, even merchant ships have to leave quickly after unloading, we are not allowed to stay, you don't treat us as human beings, why is it so difficult to get some human rights?

There is also the tax rate, why is the tax rate of 50.00% too high?That's obviously a tax rate of around [-]%, okay?Well, it doesn't matter that we people are barbarians in your eyes, after all, money is the most important thing, but after going to sea, going back and forth for several months, we have to pay half of the money we earn to pay taxes, which is [-]% Four tax rates?This is also called the tax rate is not high?

In desperation, Howard had to patiently explain to Ke Zhiming first, and then tentatively said: "Dear Ming officials, I am the Duke Howard of the British Empire, and I have a gift from Her Majesty the Queen to give to you." The Emperor, so please let me meet His Majesty the Emperor of your country?"

Ke Zhiming didn't care much about whether a duke was a duke or not - if his emperor wanted to, the heads of several **** in the Qing Dynasty could be taken at any time, so who cares about dukes and dukes.

But the questions Howard explained just now, and the fact that it also involved a gift from the queen of another country to his royal family, made Ke Zhiming inevitably hesitate.

After deliberating for a while, Ke Zhiming said, "Wait."

After listening to Howard's explanation conveyed by Ke Zhiming, Zhu Jinsong realized that he had made a big oolong.

Tariffs are a real headache.

The customs tax of my Daqing is divided into ship bills and goods tax, among which ship bills are divided into real ship bills and official gifts; the real ship bills are 1200 taels for large ships, 960 taels for medium ships, and 450 taels for small ships; I belonged to the Qing court, and the "official ceremony" is more interesting. All ships, regardless of size, will pay 1950 taels. The money belongs to the customs officials.

Similarly, goods tax is also divided into regular tax and bad regulations. The regular tax is 3.9% stipulated by the Ministry of Households, which also belongs to the Qing Dynasty. People's.

During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, when the administration of officials was purged, the "official gifts" in the ship banknotes belonged to the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, and the income of officials was also reduced.

How to do?Of course, the wool comes from the sheep, and adding an item of "payment" to the excise tax perfectly solves the problem.

The payment is more ruthless, which is about 10% of the total price.

我们以1万两的大船计算，华人或者洋人需要缴纳的总税款为1200（船钞）+1950（官礼）+390（正税）+600（陋规）+1000（缴送）=5140两，税率为51.4%。

Of course, all such calculations are not scientific, because there are still small boats with less money and fewer goods, and the total price of the goods is relatively low. However, after searching various documents and materials, we come to the conclusion that the customs tax rate is 45%—— — between 55%.

This is just the customs. After the goods are distributed to the mainland, there is still a permanent customs. Even if the Chinese agents sell the goods, the freight, warehouse storage fees, and regular customs duties based on this will also be transferred to the foreign merchants.

As for these so-called taxes, half of them flowed into the pockets of local officials, more than 59% went into the House of Internal Affairs of the Qing royal family, and only more than 400% went into the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. [-] million taels.

Coupled with the management regulations for foreigners promulgated by Qian Deaf 24 years ago, there are indeed enough fucks:

Foreign women are not allowed to come to Guangzhou; foreigners are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, buy Chinese books, or learn Chinese; they are only allowed to enter the city 3 times a month, with no more than 10 people each time, and there are thirteen lines of Chinese personnel following them at any time; Leave as soon as the goods are finished, and you are not allowed to stay in Guangzhou.

My Taqing's defense against foreigners comes from the heart, and the fear and anxiety in my heart are also sincere.

It's no wonder that these Xiyi people feel wronged.

After figuring out the misunderstanding, Zhu Jinsong's face remained unchanged, and he told Ke Zhiming unreasonably and confidently: "Then see you."
