Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 318 A Foreigner Comes
Merchants came to her one after another, and Zuo Fu knew what they were up to, but she didn't reject them.

The imperial court's current open sea is not open to private capital, which seems very stupid to Zuo Fu.

To put it bluntly, the current combat effectiveness of the imperial court is not as good as those of the merchants.If you want to monopolize this benefit, you will not be able to do it in ten years.

Those local officials think they can eat this piece of fat all by themselves, but they usually sit in the yamen and collect money. How do they know how difficult it is to make money at sea?

The government has no contact with various forces in the ocean at all, and it is obviously very risky to go to sea rashly.And these local officials in Fuzhou thought that the court opened this hole, and they could snatch the interests of the maritime merchants. This is simply a fool's dream.

Among other things, the Zheng family is enough for them to drink a pot.It's true that Zheng Zhilong was ordered to safety, but I didn't see him paying taxes to the court or anything like that!Since the death of another pirate leader, Liu Xiang, the Zheng family has become the overlord of the Ming Ocean.

People still think you, Daming, are not Daming great.People still regard Daming as the main one because their roots are on the mainland, and Daming still has the goods and talents they need.

So when these merchants came, Zuo Fu did not turn them away, but entertained them well, and offered them various favorable conditions to invest in Qiongzhou.

These merchants were also very happy when they saw that the Duke of Zhen was just as the legend said.

This Lord not only does not discriminate against them, but also appreciates their maritime trade business very much. What does this mean?
This means that this person is very enlightened!

What surprised them even more was that this man was very familiar with all the forces entrenched in the ocean at the moment, and even knew about the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and other Western countries.

That's amazing!

Is this really a fairy?Can you know the world without going out?How do you even know about Batavia?

The merchants were puzzled, but they didn't have the time to think about it anymore after thinking that Zuo Fu had agreed to their request.

The world makes the most money!
This grown-up is really brave!They can write as many tickets as there are ships, as long as they are willing to pay [-]% tax on each shipment!

Only [-]% of the tax is unbelievably low!Moreover, the lord personally wrote a contract to them: only [-]% of the tax will be charged for entering and leaving the port from Qiongzhou, and there is no other fee; if you invest in a local workshop in Qiongzhou, you can enjoy three exemptions and two reductions.

The so-called three-year exemption and two-year reduction means that the established workshops are exempted from all taxes and silver for the first three years, and their income is halved for the next two years.

The tax standard is based on the 10th tax set by Taizu, unless the annual turnover exceeds 30. The part above [-] taels is charged at [-] taels, and the part above [-] taels is charged at [-] taels.

These merchants can be regarded as the mathematical management of this era. After Zuo Fu explained, they all nodded, feeling that the tax was very reasonable and very satisfactory.

There is no need to give benefits, and there will be no exploitation. If everything is done according to the rules, the money they need to pay is much less than before. Whoever refuses to pay such taxes, and whoever is picked up by the government, really deserves it!

At that moment, these merchants bowed their hands to express their gratitude, saying that they would go back to organize the ship, send Zuo Fu and others to Qiongzhou, and then return to prepare the goods. After the typhoon season, they can go to sea again.

After sending these merchants away, Zuo Fu took a sip of the milk tea on the table, and said with a smile, "Okay! Just when I was dozing off, someone sent me a pillow. Now we can go to sea this year!"

Guan Yu and the others seemed very excited, Chunya couldn't help but said: "Big girl, with these merchants leading the way on the ocean, our things are guaranteed to sell for a lot of money! Hmph, let those people play tricks, don't give Our ships are equipped with cannons, and when we make a lot of money, we will piss them off!"

"Hehe, these sea merchants are actually not afraid of the government. Don't look at them as gentle, but I guess, these people have dirty hands. In that ocean, killing people is so normal, so why would they pay attention to the government? ?

The reason why they are honest now and are still giving benefits to the government is entirely because they need people and goods. The local officials are also clear about this.In the past, the sea was not opened, and officials could not go to the sea to make money, but now that the sea is open, they naturally feel that these merchants are not needed..."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "It's so naive. Those who can make the sea trade bigger, the power in the sea is probably more familiar than the government. They can see clearly now that these masters are probably going to take their heads and goods to block them for the sake of political achievements. , so they came to me, if I want to stand out, cooperation with them is undoubtedly the fastest."

"what?"

Chun Ya was dumbfounded, "There are so many twists and turns?"

"You think money is so easy to earn?"

Guan Yu rolled his eyes, and said, "If you don't have a little more thoughtfulness, this business will not be able to continue."

"My lord is right."

Zheng Sanniang, who married Chen Guanyu last year, said: "When I open the door to do business, don't look at me laughing with people, but I'm always thinking about it! Buying and selling meat, you have to calculate, and you have to know how to read people's faces." , but also understand what people say, this is not easy to do business!"

"so……"

Zuo Fu said: "They said to go back and prepare the goods. According to my opinion, they should have stockpiled a lot of goods during this time. Let's see, there will be many ships going to Qiongzhou with us this time."

She paused, then pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "In addition to transporting us, we also have to transport their goods!"

"Big girl."

Zuo Gui came in from the outside and exclaimed: "A monk with red hair came outside and said he wanted to see you."

"Red-haired monk?"

Zoff was stunned.

A monk is a monk. What is a red-haired monk?

Zuo Gui stared wide-eyed and gestured, "He combs our hairstyle, but his hair is red and his eyes are green. The people around him say he is a red-haired monk from Franz!"

"missionary?!"

Zuofu stood up in surprise, "Where is the person?"

"outside."

"Quick, invite people in!"

missionary?
Yo!
A good feeling is coming!

He hurriedly sat down again, with a smile on his face, and said, "Chunya, take out my set of coffee-drinking guys."

"Miss, would you like some coffee?"

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "In the eyes of these people, this is black gold. It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. We should entertain guests with the best things, shouldn't we?"

Chunya wanted to roll her eyes a little bit.When she first drank this word, she thought it was a drink from heaven.Later, when she saw Huimin Supermarket selling this thing for ten copper coins a box, she understood, what kind of fairy powder is this?It is estimated that the big girl fiddled with something herself.

Return gold?
Also the best stuff?

Girl, won't your conscience hurt when you say this?
With contempt for Zuo Fu, Chun Ya went to make coffee.

At this time, Zuo Gui also brought in a foreign old man.

But what surprised Zuo Fu was that the old man was being supported by people, and the people who supported him...

Obviously a scholar!
What's the situation?

　I'm so tired, I can't lift my hands when I move things, I'll take a rest today, I'm here first!
