Chapter 368 Respect the King of Faith
The foreigners finally chose to pay the money.
They had no other choice. When they met Wang Yue, who had a disagreement, the wisest choice was to do what he said.
Soon, boxes of gold, silver, copper coins were carried out of the Fanfang, and then loaded into the horse-drawn carriages and sent them to the military camp of the Changsheng Army. Five million coins were completed in less than half a day. It has to be said that these guys have strong financial resources, but in fact, most of them were gold and silver coins, which were the most used currency for the Fankes.
For this result...
“Brothers are also a little reckless in their work.
But they all came down from the battlefield, and they were accustomed to killing people. You have to understand them, and you also disappointed me. I have told you that I welcome you. How can you suspect that I think I am harming you?
I am sincere to you.
Look, I can even say you, so how could I harm you?
It is also for your own good that you don’t let you live in the city. You know what the officials in the local area do, and there are always some unruly people in the local area who will blackmail you. You came to the Song Dynasty from tens of thousands of miles to do business. As a friend, I have to consider you carefully.
I bought the land and property of the Xiazhou Lin family, and will build more houses in the future, protect them with the city walls, and then station an army to protect you in the future, so that you don’t have to worry about being harassed by corrupt officials and unlucky people in the local area. As for the rent, we can discuss it, and I don’t know much about it. There will be someone to discuss a reasonable price with you, but don’t worry, I won’t make money for you, just to support the soldiers who protect you.
But you can't bring weapons in the future.
It is OK to put it on the boat. Those who go out to sea and sail far must also be guarded against pirates, but they cannot be carried on land. After all, you are foreigners and cannot hold weapons in the Song Dynasty.
It is for your own good that intermarriage is prohibited.
I heard that there was a man from you who married a woman from our Song Dynasty before. Later, when he died, his property became the woman's, and even a lawsuit was triggered. This was not good. What should he do with his relatives in your hometown?
So intermarriage cannot be done.
Mainly to avoid such things again.
There are also people who are not allowed to go to school. This is also for your own good. I know that you have different beliefs and I respect cultural differences. You have your beliefs and culture. Letting you go to school and learn those Confucianism is disrespectful to you. I am not the civil servants who always wanted to educate the four barbarians in the past. I respect the differences in beliefs and cultures of each nation and will not force them to learn from us, so your foreign studies have been cancelled."
Wang Yue said with a smile to the group of men who were kneeling in front of him.
The latter is now trembling.
Three hundred dead bodies!
They are still piled up there and burning, because according to Wang Yue's rules, they cannot continue to own fixed assets, land, and houses in the Song Dynasty in the future, and all the existing ones are taken back to the state.
Of course, this also includes the cemetery, so it can only be burned and thrown into the sea.
Wang Yue came this time for money. He spent too much money during this period, and the large-scale tax exemption caused the fiscal gap to intensify. Although there was a bank guarantee, this was not a solution after all. His bank guarantee was limited, so he urgently needed a fortune. Looking at the current fattest sheep in Song Dynasty, of course, the rich guests in Quanzhou and Guangzhou.
Although there are also places such as Mingzhou, they are much worse than here.
Mingzhou mainly trades with Japan, and Hangzhou was left. Mizhou was controlled by him for a long time. The real fat sheep were Guangzhou and Quanzhou. In fact, there was not much difference between the two places, and they were filled with wealthy tourists. Slaughtering a wave of 10 million should not affect future growth. He was not digging the roots, but still taking the principle of cutting leeks as the basic principle.
Of course, when his plan to voyage to the West is completed and he can truly control the maritime route, he should dig it out at that time.
Now cut the leeks first.
It was just to drive them out of Quanzhou City and then circle them to Xiazhou to look simpler in the future.
After all, they have tens of thousands of people in Quanzhou, and it may cause a large number of casualties among local people.
If you get it out first, this problem will not exist.
But before this, you still have to squeeze out as much as possible.
Quanzhou and Guangzhou can basically solve the fiscal gap caused by large-scale tax exemption this year. After all, what he exempted was only agricultural taxes from various parts of the south, but commercial taxes in various places were not exempted. On the contrary, it will increase due to the new tax laws and the introduction of commercial center cities. In addition, a small number of house searches and forced officials to assist in the salary such as the Liu family, which was basically enough to add up. Moreover, he spent less money now. Most of the original army in Jiangnan was dismissed, and a large number of official positions were also cut, taking over the Zhenjiang court and the official warehouses in various places. The gap was basically only a few million.
It is purely to be prepared for any eventuality. After all, if the clearance cannot be completed quickly, he still has to continue to maintain tax exemptions.
"The king, all the young people are ignorant. The young people misunderstood the king's kindness, but the young people still have some things to ask the king to make it clear."
The elder said tremblingly.
"Say, don't be polite to me."
Wang Yue said.
"The young men worship the gods in the future..."
The elder wanted to speak but stopped.
"I understand. I said before. I respect the belief and culture of any nation. I will build a temple for you separately in Xiazhou. This kind of small thing is not worth mentioning. However, the industry there belongs to me. You have to pay for rent in the future. This principle cannot be changed. As for what you do after renting it, it has nothing to do with me."
Wang Yue said.
It's just a few years of fooling around.
There is no need to worry too much about the details, and you can take the opportunity to make another profit.
"Young people are willing to pay!"
The elder said quickly.
They have already paid 5 million guan, so they don’t care about spending this little money anymore. The purpose of asking this question is not the question itself, but to test Wang Yue’s true attitude towards them. As long as this is allowed, it means that Wang Yue can really tolerate them. For them, nothing else is important. As long as they can accommodate them here and trade, it is fine. Even the five million guan that were squeezed out is no big deal. Some of these big Hakkas have millions of dollars.
What they do is a totally unsubstantiated transaction.
The acquisition of silk and porcelain from the Song Dynasty was transported to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean coast to sell, making a huge difference, and then back to purchase cheap spices and various jewelry from the Southeast Asia to sell for sale, making it a huge difference.
Buy silk porcelain and so on.
In this way, we went back and forth again and again, and each time we made huge profits.
They do not exist to lose money.
From here, a ship of cargo will have to be at least dozens of times the profit. A purely commercial loss of money does not exist at all. The only problem is that the sea is unpredictable and there are pirates, so the capsized ship loss is relatively high. Going to sea means you should not have your head on your waistband.
However, not dying is getting rich.
It is normal for a boat to make a profit of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in one round trip. These large passengers often have dozens or even hundreds of ships in their hands. Five million coins is indeed amazing, but it is not beyond their tolerance. In fact, in this port, they only pay two million coins in the official tax they pay for the Maritime Bureau every year. In addition, to those officials and high-ranking officials in the court, they have to pay five million yuan every year. At most, Wang Yue only needs the official tax of the Maritime Bureau for two or three years.
It’s nothing to force them to move to Xiazhou.
It is nothing more than a river separated from Quanzhou City and a floating bridge in the middle. They originally lived in a block of Fanfang, south of the city.
Doing business is not affected.
Of course, the losses were still huge, mainly because the private gardens they built in Fanfang were all Wang Yue's.
It is also tolerated to prohibit intermarriage.
It is also tolerant that they are not allowed to own fixed assets.
Of course, you have to endure it even if you can't bear it. The cannons are placed on the city wall. They are under the guns. Even the ships outside are controlled by the Changsheng Army. Do they have any other choice? Spend money to buy peace. This kind of maritime trade is very calm. They will indeed fight desperately if they are forced to force it, but they are all very sensible before they can't bear it.
"It's great, it's okay to make it clear. You are too uneasy. This is how I report to the three hundred dead people, and I will report to the officials to defend the pirates and protect the Song Dynasty. Let the officials issue an order to give them a title of overseas righteous people and give them to their families. This is also very honorable. From now on, you will be at ease to do business here. As long as you abide by the law, I will protect you. If anyone dares to extort you, go directly to me and I will make the decision for you."
Wang Yue said.
Of course, his extortion is another matter.
The rent must be high, and the taxes are all in Xiazhou, and the tax rate will be increased appropriately in the future. If they leave Xiazhou and go to Quanzhou for trade, they must be accompanied by special people and approved by the garrison officers. In this way, additional bribes must be paid. In short, their every move in the future will have to be paid to Wang Yue or the garrison sent by him, and they can force them to deposit the money in the bank. If they don’t deposit, they will not give the landlord face.
The landlord is an existence that cannot be accused of.
Of course, Wang Yue doesn't need to worry about these things. He is at his level and doesn't care about these trivial matters.
