251 The First Tour of the Territory

The tax issue is quite complicated. It is not only about silver, but also about national affairs and people's livelihood. If it were before, Bai Minghe would definitely immediately speak out a ratio, but now it is not possible.

"This, let's go back to the capital to discuss it." Bai Minghe did not answer immediately.

The archivist also understood that this tax matter could not be settled at one time, and only said: "I have three suggestions for letting merchants participate in maritime trade. First, the navy should be divided into two, one is the team and the caravan. The team has little profit, so how to ensure its profit is the first priority. Second, it is the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a merchant or the people outside. If there is any deficiency, it is the face of the Ming Dynasty and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. This matter should be discussed again."

"I support Jie Lord, and there must always be a rule." Hu Yi's support was not an accident.

With the idea of ​​Qingliu, fame is naturally the most important thing.

"Thank you Mr. Hu. Although this third point is not extremely serious, it cannot be ignored. I suggest setting up a customs clearance!"

Setting the barrier means the money barrier before, but at this time it means managing the barrier.

"Just call it customs. Its first function is maritime trade tax, and the second function is to check prohibited things. In my opinion, don't bring back living things overseas. These things are strange. There was something recorded in this book before." Bai Minghe interrupted. Everyone was interested.

Bai Minghe said: "There is a land where there are many wild goats. There are no wolves, which means there is nothing but humans that will affect the survival of sheep. But someone brought a few nests of rabbits. There are abundant water and grass there. After more than ten years, the rabbits there are disasters, and thousands of sheep starve to death. But there are tens of millions of rabbits, and they are still increasing by several times the number of each year."

Hahaha!

Several officials in the room laughed and Yu Qian laughed and scolded: "Minister, I believe your story is definitely true. But this kind of thing does not exist in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention tens of millions, if there were really hundreds of millions of people, I would send a hundred thousand troops to a transfer order. Then, my Ming soldiers could eat meat every day, wouldn't they just hundreds of millions of rabbits?"

The black line at the end of the white crane.

In modern times in later generations, European hairy crabs are disasters, American carp is disasters, Australian rabbits are disasters, bullfrogs are disasters...

"When I haven't said it!" Bai Minghe shook his head helplessly.

Everyone burst into laughter again, and Yu Qian said with a smile: "Okay, I'll send an order to hold a banquet. Your brother Bai Minglu also holds a tribute to me. I will naturally meet your father when he comes to Guangdong."

"Let's be with you!" Jie Ji said that, no one else objected. This was to give Bai Minghe a face. As Bai Minghe's identity, he had to prosper in Guanzhong. Even if he didn't mention these false things, even if he dealt with Bai Minghe these days, no matter whether he was an official in the same dynasty or his friends attended the dust banquet for Bai Minghe's father.

At the luncheon, Bai Minghe's father Bai Chongxi was not only shocked but also proud.

I think that in less than a few years, someone in Guanzhong will definitely say that having a child should be like the famous crane of the Bai family. This is the glory of the Bai family and the glory of his Bai Chongxi. It is truly a glorious family to glory. For lunch, Bai Chongxi was still drunk and was drunk in his heart, because those who drank with him were all the officials of the current dynasty.

When Bai Chongxi woke up, he felt that he was shaking slightly under him.

"Grandmaster, you are awake." A young man from the White clan was taking care of him.

"This seems to be drinking too much wine. It feels like it's shaking." Bai Chongxi said and touched his head.

"Grandmaster, we are on the sea boat, and the young master is going to Beijing. I heard that after this time, Master Hu of the four dynasties will keep Master Hu from entering the next level to stay in Beijing, and Master Yu also has this intention. So before leaving Guangdong, the young master of industry here will lead people to patrol. After all, this is the young master's efforts, and some special places must be left with rules."...

"My son..." Bai Chongxi sighed, and he went further to the sixth rank official, or even from the fifth rank.

A 19-year-old sixth-rank official is equivalent to a state official. Who can compare with the world?

I feel even more proud in my heart.

The ship was a military ship with a wide deck. It was calm at this time, and Bai Minghe and representatives of the top ten business groups were talking about allowing them to go out to sea to do business on their own.

Many rules have not been set and tax rules have not been set, but these do not affect the enthusiasm of the top ten business groups.

Such a big event will not be long even if you have a year to prepare for.

"Coconut oil should still be placed in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not suitable to be moved out at the moment. But the first person to deal with the coconut fruit is placed overseas. The person who works can be from the Ming Dynasty or hires local people. For example, the shell has been heard. Someone has made excellent mattresses and soles. Whether these are placed overseas is decided. Please report to the Guangdong Provincial Department for review and everything is done according to the rules."

"Mr. Bai, can you put the initial treatment of abaca overseas? Seven or eight out of ten abaca transported back from a ship can only be used as fattening fields, and whether it is Fuzhou or Guangzhou, or Qiongdao, the sunshine in Qiongdao is not as good as that in Port Manila." A representative of the business gang made a request.

Bai Minghe didn't say anything. Since these things were left to Guangdong, he would choose to avoid them.

If Guangdong is unsure of its own ideas, there will naturally be messengers going to Beijing.

"No, the Port of Manila cannot do such a thing. But it can be placed in Beigang." The Beigang mentioned by Yang Neng refers to the Lavag Port occupied by the military.

"It's better to put it in Palawan." Bai Minghe also gave a suggestion. Then he explained: "In terms of the safe area we control at present, the indigenous population in Palawan is less than 1,000, but the place is several times larger than Fuzhou. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are fields suitable for growing food. It's not impossible to build a city there, and in terms of sunshine intensity, it's summer all year round! If I could be idle, I would stay there for a few months, and it was really beautiful."

"Then let's set it there. After I return to Beijing, please order to build a city." Hu Yi said in his heart that the place where Bai Minghe can praise it must be several times more beautiful than imagined.

Bai Minghe said again: "However, there are many reefs there, so let the navy's pathfinder boat be careful and set out a few excellent routes first. We must build a military port there!"

Yang Neng looked like he suddenly realized.

Bai Minghe nodded very seriously, and Yang Neng gently patted Bai Minghe's shoulder: "Xiaobai, please feel at ease, I will go and see it in person."

Yang Neng and several other officials also heard the meaning of this. Bai Minghe would not choose a place casually, it must be the bridgehead for the next plan. It may even be an important line of defense outside the South China Sea in the future.

The benefits of the relationship between merchants. The military cares about them and will not become transport troops in the future. After all, the navy is a combat unit. What civil servants care about is if they manage, educate, and promote the Ming culture.

Jieji also made a request: "Since I want to build a port, I will ask for the construction of several temples and several Taoist temples. Will this expenditure be paid out of the public treasury or private fundraising?"

"My Qin Gang is willing to donate to build a Taoist temple, and I only ask you all to allow us to invite the temple master. The Qin Gang Gang is mostly under Quanzhen's disciples. My tower and ancient temple was destroyed at the end of the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to regain the prosperous times of that year in the past. It is a regret in our hearts!"

Before the Qin Gang could finish his words, someone from Hui Gang said, "We are also disciples of Qiyunshan." In the history of Hui Shang, there was a connection with Taoism that was constantly and inextricably linked to Taoism. Only by having faith in the world can you feel at ease. Hui Shang is really mostly disciples of Qiyunshan, one of the four great immortal mountains of Taoism.

"The Dragon and Tiger Sect should also have a view!"

“Hangzhou Lingyin Temple…

“Fujian Nanputuo Temple……

Jieji mentioned that Jianguan’s original idea was to use his belief to influence the local natives based on the ideas of Bai Minghe, and then use Confucian education. But who would have thought that it caused disputes among these merchants, even for money, trade routes, supplies, etc., but he did not feel so excited to see them.

Who wouldn't want to seek peace when going out of business? The blessing of gods and Buddhas in the Ming Dynasty is more than just a kind of peace of mind. They truly believe that the gods and immortals are there, and respecting the gods and immortals also bless the prosperity of the family. The overseas preaching, the original 10,000 Taoism, 10,000 monks and 10,000 Confucians, were still being summoned, and there was no formal departure.

Each company has some wait-and-see attitude towards preaching overseas.

But today's revelation has stimulated the people of these business gangs. They are all devout believers.

"Cough!" Hu Yi coughed dryly, and the merchants immediately became quiet.

"You are wrong about Master Jie's meaning. Master Jie's meaning is. For example, the workshop for the numb treatment is built overseas. Many people are from the Ming Dynasty. They always need to build a Taoist temple and a temple so that the gods and Buddhas in the world can protect our Ming Dynasty people overseas."

"Mr. Jie Gao Yi, we know our mistake."

Just say it a few words, just to put it nicely. Hu Yi said these words really well.

"Actually, the Taoist sect in the world are all. And it is this Buddha. Our Ming Buddha is different from the original Buddhas in Heaven. Although I believe in Taoism, I believe that the Buddhas in the world are also one. When I go out, I believe that the gods and immortals and Buddhas will protect my Daming people. I believe that when I see the Buddhist disciples suffer, will my Taoist sect not take action? So since I am outside, don't argue about these things. There is a saying that we are outside and our hearts are in the Daming. Whether gods and immortals or Buddhas will connect our hearts with our family, and gods and Buddhas are everywhere."

Regarding the ability to fool people, Bai Minghe would say the word "convinced" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Bai, what's the matter of Jianguan?"

"I will pay ten thousand taels of gold, and each of your ten families will be one thousand taels. If it is not enough, you will make up for it yourself. Of course, you will also specifically approve it and ask the navy to transport some excellent wood from Da Nang."

After hearing what Bai Minghe said, everyone looked happy.
