Chapter 181 Unknown Guangnan East Road(1/2)
The two emperors rushed north and Zhu Lian, the empress who was the governor of the country to counterattack the Jin people, came to Fujian.
The refined salt brought is cheaper and has better quality than private salt.
He also brought the previous issues of the Revival News, and some of the people who went to street teahouses said they were reporting.
They not only told the story, but also told the people of the Song Dynasty that the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty was opened for trial business outside the prefectural yamen of Xinghua Army, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, and exchanged gold coins, silver coins with the portraits of the queen and Princess Roujia, one tael of gold, one tael of silver, exchanged for one gold dollar and silver dollar, and directly circulated in the market, and copper coins can also be exchanged, but eleven-spin copper coins are exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred and ten-spin copper coins are exchanged for one gold coin.
My colleagues are next to the yamen, and the Sansi Yamen also want to sell new tools, farm tools and cabbage at low prices in Fujian, with a limited price of only ten pieces per person.
Xinghua Army, Fuzhou and Quanzhou are all in full bloom.
Because registration information is required to purchase salt and iron, each person is limited to sales.
Some merchants who want to stock up have hired many poor people outside the city to buy goods in the city.
This further made the four cities bustle and bustle.
Whenever a steam ship comes outside the city, the people flock to the riverside.
Regardless of whether the queen, queen mother or princess waves on the boat, it can always cause a sensation in the whole city.
There is also the incident of squeezing people into the water. In this winter, the river water is cold, and many warriors who jumped into the water to save people made the onlookers applaud.
The local officials and garrisons were nervous.
The people support the queen and like the queen. The queen also instructed to meet officials and serve as an official and benefit the people.
Shandong has been improving controls and further dividing the scope of powers of local officials.
In various ways, the law restricts the actions of local officials.
The assessment form for appointing official positions has a lot of content and clarified some principles that cannot be done.
The future political performance considerations and political improvements are all about people's livelihood and people's satisfaction.
The central and sub-district provinces are developing various measures
For fear of death, the queen was punished.
The exile in Shandong is different from the Bianliang in the past. They are exiled to become officials, and the hard work is just a journey. Shandong is better, just exiled to mining directly.
The hard journey has become the end of hard work. The happy days I have studied hard and have become hell. This is so scary.
You can't even hide.
Zhou Ning had already issued an order for Zhu Lian to order all officials above the seventh rank on Fujian Road to rush to Fuzhou to meet the queen.
Wu Tan, deputy governor of Fujian Road, also ordered all soldiers of Fujian Road to arrive in Fuzhou and Quanzhou to receive a new training.
Zhu Lian and Li Jing were not idle either.
The iron factory matter was thrown to Huang Can and the old blacksmiths who came to Tai'an, Zibo and Dengzhou.
Zhu Lian invited the sea merchants from Quanzhou on a boat in Quanzhou.
The winds and waves in the South China Sea are so terrible in summer and autumn, and most maritime merchants have gone overseas recently.
If Guangzhou is the largest base for overseas maritime merchants, Quanzhou is the gathering point of the Song Dynasty maritime merchants. Although there are many big foods, Persian maritime merchants settled in Quanzhou and built mosques, there are not many foreign maritime merchants living in Guangzhou.
Even though the family fleet that was doing business had already set off, the chief of the Dasong Haizhuang family still came to board the ship to meet the queen and the queen mother.
There are many families, and the Chengdu ship's plywood is filled with tables.
These merchants were very interested in the steamships that were windless and steadily moving day and night.
They all proposed to the Queen and Li Jing to purchase the steam warships of the Navy of the Song Dynasty.
After receiving the reply that the Song Dynasty had no chance to sell steam-powered ships to the public within five years, these maritime merchants were disappointed.
It would be a pity if such ships were not used for long-distance voyages.
Everyone described the prospects of the long voyage to them.
Even Zhu Lian and Li Jing answered all the questions truthfully.
Gu Wushuang, who was next to him, was secretly having fun while recording the content of their conversation with the female official.
A day of chatting and laughing.
The dinar, dirham and other gold and silver coins taken out by the maritime merchants opened their eyes and opened their eyes to the students of Jixia Academy and Li Qingzhao who were responsible for helping to receive them.
However, these crude coins are simply incomparable to the Jin Yuan and Silver Yuan of the Song Dynasty.
This also understands why Fujianese snatch the gold and silver dollars of the carving queen and princess’ avatars.
They learned for the first time that on the southeast of the Song Dynasty, to the Indian Ocean, and to the Red Sea, it is recognized that the Song people are the most beautiful, and the Persians always dislike the people of the South China Sea islands and are both dark and loving, while the Indians are not very clean.
The Song Dynasty man is tall and has beautiful black hair.
Every maritime businessman is proud to have a wife from the Song Dynasty and often has fun in Guangzhou and is unable to miss Shu. Local officials beg them to go out to sea to increase tax revenue for the Song Dynasty.
Only then did Li Jing understand that those Dashi and Brahmins who contacted the East China Sea had a deep connection with pirates near Malacca.
When the maritime merchants in the Song Dynasty approached near Malacca, they had to pay tolls.
Moreover, all goods must follow the price of Dashi. The merchants of the Brahmins and other merchants sold at their destinations. The Song Dynasty merchants were not allowed to affect their profits. They were sold at low prices, especially the prices of ivory, rhinoceros horns, spices and other materials transported from overseas. After returning to the Song Dynasty, they needed to sell them at a unified price and were not allowed to sell at low prices at any time.
As for all this, whether it is the Shipbuilding Department or the governments of the Song Dynasty, as long as you pay taxes, you will not care about it. These foreign maritime merchants control the envoys who come to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute, and even pretend to be envoys who come to pay tribute, which also puts great restrictions on the officials.
You should know that the very unconfident Song Dynasty took a fancy to these foreign envoys who visited overseas, and not only returned them to make a fortune. When they landed in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, the Ministry of Rites strictly sent people to receive them.
And these things, the Song Dynasty Maritime Merchants could only pretend to be invisible.
I even fear that these foreign maritime merchants can connect with officials of the Ministry of Rites. In other words, there are people in the court.
These news made Empress Dowager Zheng and Zhu Lian feel a little embarrassed.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has attached great importance to the coming of all countries to the court. When the envoys of the court landed, the Ministry of Rites sent people to pick them up, and the best food and accommodation along the way were all there.
Even these foreign maritime merchants in Guangzhou and Quanzhou can not follow the laws of the Song Dynasty.
The result is so ironic.
The two began to agree with Li Jing's point of view that a prosperous era must be trained to strengthen the army. Without the guarantee of the army, everything is false.
The two discussed with Li Jing.
At the banquet, the Song Dynasty Navy announced that next winter, the Song Dynasty Navy will escort ocean-going commercial ships for free, and ask everyone to prepare stocks, give quotas for one hundred merchant ships in Quanzhou, tie them to the Song Dynasty Navy, and follow the Song Dynasty Navy to the Song Dynasty Navy to the south.
If the trip goes well, everyone will make money and find a suitable carbohydrate supply station in the middle. From now on, the Navy of the Song Dynasty will escort the ocean every winter.
Not only can they go to the Red Sea, but they can also bypass the Cape of Good Hope and go directly to the European continent.
Where are the English, Byzantine, and the people of the Holy Roman Empire?
The Chengdu ship was completely jubilant.
Some people even ran off the ship excitedly and told the people of Quanzhou this good news.
The whole of Quanzhou was in full swing, and countless people walked to the dock to confirm the news.
But the students at Jixia Academy were a little confused. Quanzhou is not all engaged in maritime trade, so why are there so many people cheering?
Little do we know that the entire Quanzhou industrial chain revolves around maritime trade.
The porcelain, some ironware, tea, and silk purchased from Jiangnan all need to be exchanged for spices and other materials and a large amount of gold and silver through maritime merchants.
Li Qingzhao felt a little sorry for these raw melon seeds that had just been admitted to the Jixia Academy.
The first batch of more than 100 students in Jixia Academy were admitted to Shandong after only more than five months of study, solving the problem of lack of officials and driving away those inaction officials.
The second batch is a one-year school schedule.
Li Jing has already advised Zhu Lian to stay in Fujian, and to follow Zhou Ning to observe and record government reforms, and to write policy articles on the gains and losses of maritime trade, which must involve the impact of gold and silver inflows and other maritime trade materials on the Song Dynasty.
There is another big thunder among them, which is the evaluation of the Bandar system.
Dashi, Persia's dominant position in maritime trade between the East and the West during the Tang and Song dynasties was never shaken, but it was more vigorous and once controlled the maritime shipping and trade between the East and the West.
At that time, Persians traded sailboats were in groups on the sea, constantly moving in and out in the eastern and western worlds.
In the community where Persian merchants gathered, there was a leader who acted as a representative to negotiate with the local rulers. At that time, in order to attract merchants, the rulers also tried their best to win over the local Persian merchant leaders and granted the title of port chief. In Persian, the port chief was called Shabandar.
The local rulers manage foreign social groups through Shabandar to make foreign trade better.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty called these foreigners a fan, the spices and wealth they brought by these people required the ability of these merchants to translate languages. After infiltration and consultation, no matter how they called it, it was essentially the Bandar system.
This is why foreigners do not follow the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Li Qingzhao didn't have to guess, she knew that her nephew didn't like these foreigners acting arrogantly on the land of the Song Dynasty and did not clamp down on their tails to be human.
Goryeo and Fusang were beaten so miserably by the Song Dynasty Navy.
The reason why we have not attacked the countries in the South China Sea and the countries in the Indian Ocean now.
That's because there was a Golden Dog in the north, and the three armies of Jingkangwu in Shandong had not yet fulfilled their promises under the city of Bianliang, destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and dug the ancestral tomb of the Wanyan family.
However, these foreigners who came to their door should not follow the governmental requirements of the Song Dynasty and obey the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty.
They just wait for bad luck.
Sure enough, Zhu Lian did not wait for the local officials from several state prefectures in mainland Fujian to come, and waited for Wu Tan to lead his troops to escort Empress Dowager Zheng to Beiyuan Tea Garden.
So Li Jing ordered to set off and head to Guangnan two routes.
