The two consecutive days of excitement have completely fallen into a state of madness. It seems that Lin Chunhong will never give up until the sea is thriving!

What topics will be raised on the third day? The merchants are looking forward to it.

Among them, the only one person noticed that Lin Chunhong did not want to mess up the sea, but tried to establish a new sea order that was transferred by the will of the country!

Yes, it’s construction, not trouble!

This person is Zheng Mengfan, a sea merchant from Wenzhou.

"Zheng Mengfan?" Just for this guy, if he didn't do pirates or maritime businessmen, he would greatly disappoint the old man's ardent expectations.

If Lin Chunhong knew that Zheng Mengfan had realized this, he would definitely hold his arms tightly and shout, "Those who know me are Brother Mengfan! Is Brother Mengfan interested in creating a career with his brothers?"

Zheng Mengfan was born in a Xianyan Sea Merchant family in Ruian County, Wenzhou Prefecture. His grandfather and father both devoted themselves to the black hole of the ocean to earn amazing wealth. Zheng Mengfan was even more famous than his. Not only did his family's wealth continue to grow, but he also took Nanci Island for himself and found a foothold under Zheng Zhilong's nose, which was a miracle.

Zheng Mengfan has a knowledge of all schools of thought, the Four Books and Five Classics, and Western books. In addition, he has rich experience, so he has amazing insight. According to his estimate, Lin Chunhong announced maritime politics and military order a few days ago, so it is likely that it will be the maritime economic order today. Most of the so-called economic order is fulfilled by taxation, that is, Lin Chunhong will throw out his tax system today. After the tax system, is it the maritime law?

What after the law? Is it a discussion on how to expand at sea?

As expected, on the third day, Lin Chunhong came up with a tax plan, but none of the words in the plan involved the word tax, and the plan was called "Detailed Rules for the Management of overseas Trade Fixed-Point Transactions".

Lin Chunhong had no intention of discussing with the maritime merchants, and he just told the maritime merchants to report to the maritime merchants. In other words, as long as the maritime merchants go to Guangdong to trade, they must abide by this detailed rules.

This detailed description fully draws on the original warehouse management system. When Lin Chunhong was weak, he relied on the warehouse to avoid taxes.

The principle of the detailed rules is: the transaction of goods in and out of the port can only be traded in the warehouse specified by Bangtai, and the warehouse charges 20% of the total transaction amount as a management fee.

"It's so damn dark, even darker than Zheng Zhilong!" Zheng Mengfan couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he saw this.

Zheng Mengfan continued to look down and suddenly couldn't help but slap the table.

Lin Chunhong's management fee is not static, but varies according to the type of goods. For example, when grain is imported, all management fees are exempted, while when grain is exported, a management fee is charged! For luxury goods that are not necessary, it is just the opposite. For ivory-carved combs, a management fee is charged for 10% of the management fee is charged for import, and a management fee is exempted when exported.

There are also tea, porcelain, raw silk and other goods, which are all subject to the principle of encouraging exports and banning imports.

Other goods that do not belong to the control category will be charged a management fee of 20%.

"That's amazing! Through taxation, you can completely strengthen yourself and destroy your enemies!" Zheng Mengfan was impressed.

The maritime merchants have not yet fully digested Lin Chunhong's management fee policy. Lin Chunhong announced: "When the construction of the cargo warehouse near the dock is completed, that is, on the eighth day of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the World Expo will be held!"

Maritime merchants have completely lost their ability to think. Every policy of Lin Chunhong can be said to be a world-renowned place. After careful consideration, it is like drinking mellow wine, and it has endless aftertaste. Take the World Expo for example. In fact, it shows Lin Chunhong's position of strong support and protecting overseas trade, and has created a platform for exchanges between businessmen at home and abroad. Maritime merchants believe that by holding the World Expo, Guangzhou will become the center of various maritime merchants' worship in no more than three years!

Zheng Mengfan's prediction was very accurate. On the fourth day, Lin Chunhong threw out the "Interim Provisions on Overseas Trade Management", which legally regulated overseas trade and stipulated that all overseas trade disputes would be handled by the Guangdong Supervision Office. Moreover, Lin Chunhong also announced that the Guangdong anti-smuggling team was established to specifically crack down on smuggling on the coast of Guangdong.

Lin Chunhong also took the maritime merchants to visit the special ship of the Guangdong anti-smuggling team, namely the marine version of the centipede ship. The centipede ship is a three-masted sailboat and moves very quickly. According to Chen Kui, it is: "...it is like a centipede and as fast as lightning, and it is the king of near-shore combat. Any ship, as long as it is caught by it, cannot escape the end of being captured..."

The centipede ship completely cut off the attempts of maritime merchants to smuggle in Guangdong, causing some maritime merchants who mainly looted and supplemented by maritime trade to leave Guangdong immediately.

On the fifth day, Lin Chunhong put forward his strategic plan: Total control of Malacca!

On the rostrum of the hall, there is a huge sea chart hanging. This sea chart uses the method of flying birds to refresh the sea merchants. This sea chart can be understood at a glance, and the islands and ports are clear at a glance. After a little calculation, the distance between the locations can be easily calculated.

Lin Chunhong was standing in front of the chart, holding a wooden stick, gestured constantly, and said endlessly:

"Nanyang is the South Ocean of the Ming Dynasty. No one outside the Ming Dynasty is allowed to get involved!"

Warm applause broke out at the scene, followed by shouts and whistles one after another, and the Maritime Business Conference ushered in the most warm scene.

"...The martial arts of the northwest began in the Han Dynasty, so it was called the Han people; the gathering of foreign ships in Lingnan began in the Tang Dynasty, so it was called the Chinese people. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the Chinese people have been continuously moving towards the ocean, and the entire Nanyang was officially out of ignorance under the hard management of the Chinese people. During the reign of Chengzu, Zheng He went to the West and made great achievements overseas. All nations came to pay tribute to the tribute. His grand occasion was the heyday of the great Ming marine power. However, in the fifth year of Zhengde, the Portuguese occupied Malacca, and the entire Nanyang was influenced by the Westerners. Following were the Spanish, and Luzon Island occupied in the fifth year of Longqing. Later, the Dutch, the English, and the French followed one after another, and the Nanyang was no longer owned by the Ming Dynasty..."

"After the Westerners occupied the Southeast Asian countries, they tried to occupy the Ming Dynasty and put all the benefits overseas. Our Ming people rose up to fight. During the Zhengde period, a war broke out with the Portuguese on Tuen Mun Island, Guangdong, and finally expelled the Portuguese from Tuen Mun Island. In the second year of Jiajing, they fought with Portugal again in Xicao Bay, forcing the Portuguese to give up the invasion. During the Tianqi period, they fought with the Dutch in Penghu. Later, the Battle of the Liaoluo Bay once again fought with the Dutch... countless battles were fought and finally defended the Ming Dynasty. However, the hatred of Westerners killing my people and seizing my trade benefits must not be forgotten!"

"The long-term plan of our Bangtai is to control the throat of Malacca and include the entire Nanyang in the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty! However, we have to eat one bite at a time, and our Bangtai's first plan is to capture Luzon Island!"

Lin Chunhong knocked on Luzon Island and said hatefully: "In the 31st year of Wanli, the Spanish slaughtered our Chinese people arbitrarily, and more than 20,000 people died... Yes, they are Chinese people! No matter where they are, as long as they say Chinese words, wear Chinese clothes, and look to China, they are Chinese people!"

This statement shocked the maritime merchants quite a lot, and many maritime merchants burst into tears and cried bitterly!

For many years, they have been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, surrounded and suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, and bullied by overseas barbarians. Their inner grievances have reached an unparalleled level. Now, the highest military officer in the Ming Dynasty has announced that they are still citizens of China and still belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they have not abandoned their ancestors!

They were completely crazy. Under Lin Chunhong's instigation, they shouted loudly: "Kill my Chinese people and pay for their blood debts!"

After finally waiting for the excited maritime merchants to calm down, Lin Chunhong continued: "The area of ​​Luzon is smaller than that of Guangdong, and it is very suitable for planting sugarcane and rice. The island has extremely rich resources. The original forest can provide high-quality wood for shipbuilding, as well as a large number of gold, copper ore and iron ore! As long as Luzon is regained, Luzon is an excellent holy place for every maritime merchant to make profits!"

"I announce that Bontai will organize a fleet to expel the Spaniards within two years. After expelling the Spaniards, Bontai's management on Luzon is the same as in Guangzhou, implementing a policy of charging management fees for designated transactions and cracking down on smuggling!"

"However, the military expenditure required to expel the Spaniards is not a small amount, and our Bontai is bound to be unbearable. Therefore, I hope that everyone here will jointly invest in expelling the Spaniards. After expelling the Spaniards, all the profits on the island will be 50% of the profits, and the remaining 50% will be distributed by the investor according to the amount of investment!"

"I announce that from tomorrow, I will start to accept military spending, and the deadline is for the Spanish to completely withdraw from Luzon!"

...

The perfect expansion policy was officially introduced. Through this policy, Lin Chunhong achieved the goal of raising war through war and even earning generous dividends through war. At the same time, Lin Chunhong severely stimulated the expansion ambitions of maritime merchants, freeing maritime merchants from the fierce internal competition, and turning his attention to the vast Western colonies!

The Maritime Business Conference was held for five days. Within these five days, Lin Chunhong gradually threw out his politics, military, economic, legal, and expansion policies, trying to gradually make the chaotic era of navigation orderly and let the entire ocean dance with Bangtai's baton.

However, ideals are ideals after all, and the power to make rules needs to be guaranteed by force!

Although the maritime merchants were shocked by Lin Chunhong, it would be impossible to say that they only followed Lin Chunhong's leader. Most maritime merchants were still watching to see where Lin Chunhong could go.

How could Lin Chunhong not know this? He needs to determine his prestige through war!

So, after the maritime commerce conference, Lin Chunhong immediately gathered heavy troops, and restricted the Portuguese in Macau to completely accept the management of the court within three days, canceled the Chief Executive and the Senate, and demolished the fort... The Portuguese refused to accept it, and fought fiercely with Lin Chunhong three days later. In less than a day, the fort on the shore was occupied by the Dragon and Tiger Camp, and the Macau fleet was wiped out...
Chapter completed!
