The Tang Dynasty sent patrols and formed a system, which was a major creation in the history of overseas trade in ancient China, providing future generations with a set of maritime institutions and management systems that can be inherited or referenced.

The Song Dynasty further improved this system, and promoted it from Guangzhou to ports such as Mingzhou, Hangzhou, and Quanzhou. It ended after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, which played an important role in promoting Sino-foreign economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges.

The Tang Dynasty used the salt and iron system as a model to establish a new mechanism of vertical monopoly operation in overseas trade management. The benefits of the market were transferred to the court. On the one hand, it opened up wealth for the court and increased the income of the internal treasury; on the other hand, it actually divided the economic interests originally scattered in the local area, which strengthened the central government's control over Lingnan.

Generally speaking, in ancient China, silk and porcelain traded mostly, and these often came from government control. After all, in China, the personal control of craftsmen is quite strict.

The Maritime Bureau not only collects taxes, but also carries on business. This kind of agency that is both an official and a businessman does need reform.

In other words, Li Jia wanted to make this institution his own tool to make money and further strengthen his autonomy over foreign business and trade.

"Abdul, look, what's the difference between these kinds of silk?"

There are several on this booth, which look similar. If you don’t really understand, where can you tell me?

"Governor, sorry, there is no difference!" The colorful colors and various inexplicable stripes dazzled him, and he felt that everything was good and beautiful, and he couldn't tell the difference. Abdul shook his head helplessly and said.

The Dashi merchants were indeed a little confused. Why are there so many varieties of silk? How did these Han people make it? It’s really Alah bless...

"In terms of materials, there are four major categories: silk, cotton, wool, and tangerine. Among them, silk fabrics have the most varieties. There are silk, wool, yarn, yarn, yarn, silk, silk, silk, brocade, etc...." Li Jia smiled slightly and explained softly. He felt inexplicably happy when pretending to be a big cannibal who had a short-sighted knowledge.

From a modern perspective, these belong to high-tech industries. Whether it is silkworm raising or textiles, they are all technical tasks, and it is difficult to learn secretly.

"Luo, Luo, Ling, Wanqi, and Jin are high-end goods. Not only you, but also rare goods here. Of course, the price is also amazing!"

"The Luo alone includes Jiao Solo in Pengzhou, Jiannan Road, Yizhou, Shuzhou, Chunluo in Changshan County, Zhenzhou, Peacock Rou Gua Seed Rou and Baohua Luo in Kuaiji County, Yuezhou, etc. The patterns are different and the prices are different. If you do business, you will suffer a small loss!"

Listening to so many varieties, Abdul felt unaware of the harshness and swallowed his saliva. As for the loss, he would not suffer. Although there were differences in varieties, he could make a lot of money as much as he wanted.

"So, for mutual benefit and for better tax collection, all transactions about silk must be carried out here to ensure the interests of both parties!"

Li Jia's words were loud and loud, and her words were very open-minded.

"Here?" Abdul said in surprise. Isn't this the Maritime Department? This is an official office, how can you do business?

"Yes, this is the place for all silk trading in the future, and there will be special people to testify. If there is no signature and tax certificate from the Maritime Bureau, this ship will come out of Panyu City!"

"All silks are divided into three or six grades by the Maritime Bureau. If something goes wrong, the Maritime Bureau will naturally compensate you!"

The Maritime Bureau and Li Jia were planning to make it into a trade fair. All silk workshops must be traded abroad here, of course, including the countries in the southern Central Plains.

Not only is it convenient to draw taxes, but it can also control the arrogant big food merchants, cut off their supply, and make them dare to be arrogant?

Although Maritime Corporation owns some silk workshops, there are also many private workshops and must be controlled.

"Abdul, you don't need to find other silk workshops in the future. Come here directly in the future, I will give you the biggest share!"

"Thank you, Governor Li, you are so good!" Abdul was so happy, his face dispersed, and he was several years younger.

The investment in advance finally yielded returns.

The crackling sound of firecrackers drove away the last trace of haze in Panyu City. The encirclement and suppression activities of Fanfang ended in less than two hours. The huge Fanfang, tens of thousands of households, were all arranged by Qimin, the security chief, the village chief, and the academy chief.

It can be said that the entire Panyu City is uniform and there is no longer any autonomy.

The Maritime Warehouse is in the West City, which was always quiet in the past, but it was very noisy at this time. The big cannibals in white robes, the Japanese people in round robes, and the well-dressed northern merchants all gathered together. For a while, people pushed me and it was very lively.

I saw that the people were almost there. The little official wearing a light blue official robe, with a slut, and pounding the gongs and drums, said:

"No noise is allowed. This transaction will be judged by the judge. No one is allowed to do anything wrong!"

The merchants naturally knew that they agreed very happily.

Abdul brought his servant to the Maritime Bureau in a hurry. After receiving the approval of Governor Li, he was not in a hurry.

As a result, when he came in, there were crowds of people and merchants.

In the courtyard of the Maritime Bureau, hundreds of wooden tables are filled with silk. Each wooden table is divided into dozens of types such as silk, slabs, yarns, yarns, silks, silks, silks, brocades, etc., one wooden table and one type.

There are several samples on it, with clear price tags, four types of written: A, B, C, and D. The prices vary. The A is as high as a dozen jin per piece, while D. However, the difference is more than ten times.

If you are interested, you can pay the money directly, and then have a voucher, which can be collected directly in the warehouse.

However, there are too many copper coins and too heavy gold and silver, which is not convenient. So the green robe official will smile slightly and kindly introduce that there is a Li family cabinet not far away. You can store the money there, take out a certificate of saving money, and exchange it for silk directly.

However, although there is a lot of silk, it cannot be opened. Often, several merchants compete for a batch of silk. Therefore, it is difficult to make clear price tags, so they can only use bidding methods, and those with the higher prices will be rewarded.

This is how Abbas was. He obviously took a fancy to three thousand Jinzhan from Fengzhou first, but several people competed with him, blushing and had no choice but to bid.

"I'll pay twenty knots per horse!" Abbas took the lead in bidding, and his momentum made Abdul come over to watch.

"Twenty-two silos!"

"Twenty-three stakes!"

…………

Soon, the price soared to thirty stakes. Abbas couldn't bear it, and waved his hand and said, "thirty-five stakes"

How can you lose face in public?

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

The host's clerk was very happy. The price was nearly twice as high, so he naturally received more taxes, so the rewards were definitely indispensable.

On the side, Governor Li was leading the silk merchants from Lingnan and pointed and said:
Chapter completed!
