Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 419
While talking, Zhu Biao lit the lamp, and the room was filled with warm tones.There are several dishes and soup on the table.

Shen Zhizhi leaned against the side of the couch, pressed his neckline with one hand, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Whoever dares to let the prince warm the bed, I can't stand it."

Seeing her covering her neckline, her hair was scattered in front of her neck.

Zhu Biao thought that he was used to seeing her, or adapted to her beauty, so he wouldn't be involuntary, but he didn't expect...not seeing her for half a month, it seems to be a little more attractive.

He came back from dealing with the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi, and he has always been sleepy.But still want to play tricks on her.

Sitting down by the couch, she took off her clothes a few times, revealing her jade shoulders, then stopped and said with a smile: "The food on the table? Who is it for?"

Shen Zhishi bit his lip and said angrily, "Hey wild cat."

Based on what I know about her, the food is what I often eat, so I must have prepared it for myself.

We haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and with her temperament, she will definitely not admit it.

The table was made by the National Scholars Academy, with a groove in the middle for the charcoal fire, covered with an iron lid, and the food was placed on it, and it was always hot.

When the maid came in to clean up the dishes, Zhu Biao pointed to the food and said, "Why prepare food tonight? Who told you to come alone."

The maid came with Chengqian Palace, so she smiled and said: "Go back to Your Highness, no one told you. In fact, meals are prepared every night, and it just so happens that His Highness is here tonight."

After eating, Zhu Biao lay down in it naturally, closed his eyes and said:
"The Imperial Academy and National Scholars Academy in Xi'an and Beiping prefectures cost a lot of money to build.

The account sent by the Shanxi Mingshang Branch was a mess.Wait for Hongwu's six years to see the improvement. "

"Oh, I've checked the commercial and tax account books in the north, and there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Zhihe said in an awkward voice.

Since Xu Da Pingwo came back, Zhu Biao and Xu Miaowei went to Lao Zhu's place and had meals with Xu Da many times.

It had been a long time since the memorials had been dealt with, so I went to discuss with the Chang family about sending more military supplies to Chang Yuchun in Liaodong.

So I had no choice but to not come to the Ming Chamber of Commerce.

"Damn it, you've done so much."

The two fell silent, Zhu Biao turned over to sleep, thought for a while, and said: "You can't blame me for this matter. After finishing the matter in the Wenhua Palace, the two princesses have to go and see, so I can only wrong you .”

Hearing this, Shen knew whether it was quieter here.

When Zhu Biao was about to fall asleep, he felt a few taps on his back. He was very strange: "What are you doing?"

"Beat you."

"Hit? You're like a cat scratching."

"The number of wine shops has expanded to 67. The fruit purchases from all over the country are all done by the head manager. You must have someone bring back the money from each shop this year."

Shen Zhishi said halfway, seeing that Zhu Biao didn't respond, turned over, but felt that the hair was being suppressed, and said in pain: "Hair."

"Then find the Ming Commercial Bureau to transport."

"Ah."

The speaking voice gradually faded away.

Yi Ri.

With two dark circles under his eyes, Wei Shouzheng stood up in the yard with a weary look, sorted out the monopoly of coastal maritime merchants this time, and stood in the yard.

I happened to meet Zhu Biao who came out together, and hurriedly bowed to say hello: "Your Highness."

"I have something to tell you."

Wei Shouzheng followed, and reported to the maritime merchants about the monopoly of marine goods, and also told Zhu Biao in detail.

The people along the coast only need a little guidance, and they will not be hungry, as long as the imperial government's policies are reasonable and beneficial to the people.

Established in the second year of Hongwu, the Haibei Salt Division was established in Guangdong to manage the salt affairs in the east and west of Guangdong.

There are 400 salt farms under the jurisdiction of eastern Guangdong, and they produce salt every year, attracting more than [-] million yuan.

Haibei manages 200 salt farms, and handles more than [-] million salt imports every year, and pays salt workers one stone per meter of salt.

Sold to the south of Jiangxi, south of Hunan, Yunnan, etc.

The Yangzhou Salt Bureau, which manages the salt bureau in South Zhili, and various places in Shanxi, such as salt pools, salt lakes, salt wells, and salt mines, have more than 3000 million yuan per year.

They are sold outside the prefectures in the east, west, north, south, and south of Daming, and the rest are sold to the surrounding areas of Daming, with Annan, Koryo and Jiaozhi being the most.

The tea from Zhejiang and Fujian has been sold except for the capital, and a supply contract has been signed with Daming.

Jiangxi's porcelain, Jingcheng Weaving Bureau, Nanzhili Weaving Branch Bureau, and cloth porcelain are not only supplied to the local area, but the rest are sold to the surrounding areas.

"Wei Shouzheng, you go and gather the famous merchants in Nanzhili to the Ming Commercial Bureau. You just want to tell them about the factory."

"Yes, sir, let's do it now."

Since Daming porcelain silk is so popular, why not process it a little and package it as a luxury item.

Behind the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bureau is the Chamber of Commerce, with hundreds of pear wood chairs placed on both sides.In the middle is a chair with a flying dragon carved on it.

The servants cleaned it spotlessly.

The merchants who came in were searched by the Jinyi guards outside. When they came in, they first paid homage to Zhu Biao, saluted and greeted them, and then sat in their seats in a proper manner.

The envoys of the Ming and Commercial Bureau sat on both sides, holding a list of northern commercial routes in their hands.

Looking at the dark heads, Zhu Biao put down the teacup, and said in a mellow voice, "Today, I have called you here because many merchants will go to the north to do business in October this year.

It is almost the end of the year, and the Ming Commercial Bureau told you before that if you go to the north to do business and have taken root for more than ten years, the imperial court will exempt you from the commercial tax for the first two years. This is true. "

Really exempt from business tax for two years!
Some businessmen who did not go to the north regretted hearing this.

For them, the commercial tax of the imperial court is based on their profit, and every time they pay the tax, they are trembling with pain.

Some of them are very happy to transfer their business in Jiangnan to Shaanxi, Gansu, Beiping, and Shandong.

You old slickers, if you don't give you sweets, you don't do anything... Zhu Biao muttered habitually.

The atmosphere was solemn, and all the merchants sat down and listened.

Zhu Biao waved his hand, indicating that the envoy of the Bureau of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty began to read the regulations. In the regulations, every sentence was full of feelings and bold words for making profits for businessmen and contributing to the development of the north.

A prince who is for the country and the people is fully publicized.

The prince is a good prince. The benefits of going to the north to do business are what can move their minds the most.

"Everywhere in the world is beneficial. There are no businessmen who can't make money, only short-sighted and stupid husbands.

For those who do business in the north, the Daming Post Office will reduce or exempt [-]% of the fees for you.

The imperial court will exempt you from commercial tax for two years.

Goods can be sold in neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty.

Those who have been doing business in the north must have been doing business for at least ten years before they can register with the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bureau.Hands up if you can.Guess who is there? "

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, this matter cannot be refused, you have to give face to the prince, and running a branch in the north does not seem to be a bad thing.

"Next month will be the sixth year of Hongwu. From six years on, all of your small shops will be merged together, and the president of the chamber of commerce will be elected to manage the business in a unified way. The profits will be distributed according to your capital at the end of the year."

The merchants remembered that the prince said before that their small shops and workshops were all gathered together to become a big factory.

"One more thing, for all the Shen family, Huang family, Tao family, and Tian family that are partners with the imperial court, in the future, your cloth, silk, porcelain, and tea will be planned by the Ming and Commerce Bureau for you, as well as the packaging, boxing, and printing of goods. .

Goods traded with neighboring countries must be marked as made in Ming Dynasty.Make porcelain, silk, and tea luxury items and raise prices.

Gift boxes and boxes are manufactured by Mingshang Bureau's factory for you. You only need to pay the packing fee before signing the contract. Mingshang Bureau's factory will deliver the goods on time. "

The envoy of the Bureau of Ming and Commercial Bureau nodded. This manufacturing plant is all labored by captives from Wa Island. In the suburbs near the mountains, each of them has a process.

There are officers and soldiers patrolling and guarding the factory, and there are strict checks at the gate.The latest technologies in printing and papermaking are all provided by the National Academy of Sciences.

The merchants pondered whether it was worth it.

But where did they hesitate? They were hesitant before. The Huang family, the Tao family, and the Tian family have become rich in the past two years.

The eldest lady of the Shen family has also entered the palace.

Such a good thing was missed because of their hesitation.

It's not a bad thing for their small businesses to merge and some of their business will move to the north.If you listen to the imperial court's arrangement, you can also sell goods around Daming, which will make more profits.

The Northern Imperial College, the National Academy of Scholars, and even the Ming and Shang Branches all have it. It only needs to inject fresh water into the north and have frequent business contacts.Adapting measures to local conditions will always keep up with the south slowly.

Merchants are everywhere in the north, and the porcelain and cloth boxes made in Ming Dynasty are printed on them, which are sold all over the world and become a reality.
