However, what we pay more attention to is various industry and commerce, such as the cultivation of some special plants, flowers, spices, fruits that make perfumes... Animal Husbandry, foundry, textile, mining, etc.

There are many industries that require people to read.

Forced by helplessness, they hired many scribes from the Central Plains to serve as professors and then set up some schools.

However, unlike Central Plains, these professors are paid by the government, and the bachelor's degree only needs to pay for books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

So under the stimulation of this policy, many people sent their children to school.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately said something. He allowed fifty students from the other side to give him a quota of 50 students, and notified them one year in advance during the provincial examination, asking them to come to the capital to participate in the provincial examination imperial examination.

Zhang Xingguan was depressed and learned the meaning of the scriptures on the other side. However, the meaning of the scriptures was only used as a means of literacy, and in fact, it was mainly based on mathematics with relatively practicality.

This is also inevitable. In his heart, the other side is not from the Song Dynasty, but from Wang Ju.

Mathematics is Wang Ju’s best knowledge.

However, in this way, can I take the exam when I come to the capital?

After hearing Zhang Quanzhi's words, Wang Ju said, "This is what the officials want to win over, so don't worry. If the ministers in the court do not object, then they will select fifty students to the imperial examinations and go through a formality."

Zhang Xingguan and his group had completed the mission successfully, and they followed him back to the south.

But if you don’t preside over the trade, there are a lot of things to do.

Although the court relaxed the migration of the people, unlike the time in Jiaozhi, the government would not mobilize them.

Therefore, people have to be sent to mobilize everywhere so that more people can take the initiative to come to the Maritime Bureau. After the autumn, they will board the boat and take it to the other side.

This task is relatively difficult. It cannot be mobilized casually. If it is not mobilized well, it may be colluded by the local main households, beaten up, and even lose their lives.

But for this situation, I was arranged last year.

It wouldn't work if you didn't send someone with good mouths to promote it.

So many people were selected from the other side and asked them to come back. They showed up in person to explain, but for their safety, they were allowed to carry non-standard weapons with them, and wherever they went, they had to form groups just in case.

But Zhang Xingguan and his group also need to respond in the center, which is the first thing to do.

The second thing is the preparations of the various maritime departments. The Song Dynasty was richer than all previous dynasties, but not everyone was richer. The rich were so rich that they were afraid of others. The family's production capacity reached millions of trump or even tens of millions of trump, but the poor were so poor that they could not even have enough food.

And now is the time when summer wheat is not ripe, that is, when spring famine is in ancient times.

Once you hear this news, many people will inevitably start to move to various maritime authorities from now on.

However, now ships cannot move south, so they have to prepare a large amount of food and straw sheds, and these straw sheds must be dispersed to prevent any serious diseases from spreading.

This requires preparing a lot of herbs and arranging personnel. Cooking ginger soup as tea every day is prohibited from drinking raw water at least. In addition, some isolation areas must be arranged to hire doctors with good medical skills...

If there is any plague in the local area, it is a local matter. If a large-scale plague occurs in various ports, it is a matter for the seamen.

And the more concentrated the population, the more likely these infectious diseases will occur.

If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if. This is the top priority, and it is more important than preparing food.

These are for the migrants.

Then there is trade.

After the agreement was reached, a large number of sea ships officially returned to the north.

The various maritime departments finally got a lot of excretion again, and the inner warehouse also obtained a lot of spices, jade, and those perfumes.

But in fact, there are still many smugglings this year, but they are more secretly. The smuggling proceeds are used to support the smuggling. However, as the scale of the other shore increases, the trade volume also increases, and it cannot be seen in the accounts, at least the same as the previous year.

Wang Ju will not do these things by himself.

So the more eye-catching equitable taxation began...

Wang Ju's first step was to rectify it. He joined forces with Li Chengzhi and Xue Xiang from the south to ban one-third of the venue operations.

If the exemption law is changed, it may be rejected by many local officials. If there is no service, can sufficient commercial tax be imposed? However, with the exemption law, another invisible expenditure will be released, that is, the salary of the officials of each service.

Not only the salary of these clerks, but there is no dispute in the field, the yamen runners and officers and soldiers will be dispatched at this time.

Therefore, every time abolished one venue service is cancelled, the expenditure of the local government is actually reduced.

At the same time, it is clearly stipulated that any commercial goods are only prepared to collect one tax. Whether it is a supplier or a buyer, as long as one party pays this tax, with the red copy in his hand, no second tax will be imposed on any business or clerk.

Next is the taxation. Only one taxation can be levied within the state, and only two taxation can be levied within the country, and only three taxation can be levied within the country. As for trade on the other side, we will continue to be excerpted or deliberate according to the system of the Maritime Bureau.

Moreover, no clerk shall extort merchants in any form. If there is any violation, the least they will be beaten and the worst they will be clever.

At the same time, Wang Ju and Li Chengzhi wrote the fifteen rules of clerks, and then printed them out and distributed them to all clerks.

No one objected to this step.

This is not the first time Wang Ju has rectified the money. Last year, he rectified the money from the department and ministers.

Moreover, it is targeted only by clerks, not merchants of all backgrounds, so many ministers will not exorcise too much.

Besides, there was no scene where Wang Ju saw Old Man Li with his own eyes last year, and everyone knew that the various affairs under the Song Dynasty were indeed too chaotic.

Some people are suspicious of these fifteen rules of clerks. You can deal with clerks. Don’t take out the twenty rules of cadre department overseas!

That's so fatal.

This is impossible.

But another incident happened during this rectification.

Zhao Xu summoned the important officials to Yanhe Palace again.

Now Yanhe Hall has almost replaced the original political hall and has become the place with the most discussions.

At the beginning, Zhao Xu asked Wang Ju and Li Chengzhi about the rectification of the situation.

In fact, only he and Wang Ju knew that rectifying the situation was only the first step...

But the first step must be done well to lay the foundation for the next step.

Wang Ju and Li Chengzhi answered separately.

Zhao Xu asked again, "Wang Qing. What's going on with that travel agency?"

In fact, Wang Ju proposed to develop the tourism industry very early.

But no one paid much attention.

Moreover, the places with backward transportation and good scenery are often high and far away. If dozens of people die every year, not only will they fail to achieve success, but they will be guilty.

Therefore, even though Feiqiansi was founded and even if the economy might develop, everyone will automatically deal with the tourism industry.

The court didn't care, but Wang Ju played with him.

So after two years of preparation, the travel agency came out.

Its main line starts from the capital city. Then it goes east along the Wuzhang River, head straight to Mount Tai, or directly under the Bian River, but the two ends are Yangzhou. From Yangzhou, it starts to fork again. One goes straight to Jiangzhou and Yuezhou, the other goes straight to Suzhou, goes straight to Hangzhou, then goes around from Hangzhou to Jiangning, and then reaches Jiangzhou Yuezhou. Then from Xiangshui, go straight to Guizhou, and head straight to Yunnan Road. From Dali City, the other is the road from Wang Ju to Chengdu, and the other is the road from Wuman to Chengdu.

It is this tourist route that almost encompasses most of the Song Dynasty. You can see the four mountains in the Five Mountains, and there are many magnificent scenic spots along the way.

But it is not necessary for the people to travel nationwide. On this main line, it can be divided into several tourist routes for short-distance travel.

But this main line must be clear.

If you want to be safe, you must hire the best coachman and boatman, use the best vehicles and boats. You must also prepare food, drink, wear and live along the way, as well as the tour guides who lead the tour. In some remote areas, retired soldiers must be hired as guards to protect the safety of tourists.

Therefore, when time is limited and manpower is limited, we can only prepare for this main line.

Wang Ju did not come forward, but the managers in charge were all customers hired by Wang Ju in Guangnan. In fact, there is no need to investigate the origins of these managers, and they all know that they must have something to do with Wang Ju.

Everyone turned a blind eye to this. Anyway, something happened and it had nothing to do with them.

However, what puzzles Zhao Xu and everyone is the cost.

Tourists must prepare related fees, what is tourism? It is for eating, drinking and having fun, or adding the noble words that Wang Ju said to broaden the minds of the people, see the powerful prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and cultivate their patriotism...

The travel agencies also gave some suggestions on how much they had to prepare. Of course, the more, the better, but the less they could be less, so that they could enjoy the rest. This requires the travel agencies to provide reference for customers.

But the preparation of these fees is always kept in the tourists' pockets, not given to the travel agency.

As for the payment, it is insurance.

Depending on the distance and difficulty of the journey, each person pays an insurance premium of ten to two hundred coins, and its purpose is to prevent defensive accidents.

If an accidental death occurs in the middle of the journey, the travel agency will compensate the family 3,000 to 5,000 jin according to various circumstances and responsibilities. And if an accident occurs during the trip, the treatment costs will be borne by the travel agency. If it causes disability, the same will be compensated based on the disability situation. However, after compensation for this fee, the travel agency will no longer bear any responsibility.

Therefore, this insurance fee is really not much, although the highest is 200 guan, which is for "national tour". After a tour, it will last almost a year or more, is it more than 200 guan?

However, here the travel agency also deliberately stated that it is only responsible for costs such as falling injuries. If there are any difficult and complicated diseases or chronic diseases, the travel agency will not be responsible. In addition, the travel agency must look at the tourists' physical condition. If the physical fitness is poor, it is not allowed to visit some special places, such as dangerous mountains or high places. If you do not obey and have an accident, the travel agency will not be responsible.

Then, with these funds, after the two parties signed a contract, the travel agency started to take everyone to play.

Although there are many people waiting and watching, there are actually a few brave people who have spare money in their hands. They have made a contract with the travel agency and started "traveling". The travel agency even organized a team of more than 50 tourists in the capital to start an ambitious "national tour".

This is in the capital. Travel agencies have been established in some other cities with developed commercial industries, which have attracted many people's attention and sensation.

But what puzzled Zhao Xu and the others was that the travel agency did not charge any fees except this insurance fund.

So I don’t understand. As we go along, we have to prepare a lot of high-quality carriages, horses and ships. At the same time, we must hire a large number of tour guides, guards, coaches and boatmen. So where can we make a profit?

Don’t talk about insurance, it’s not enough to pay. Maybe if you’re not lucky and have several accidents in succession, the insurance will not be enough to pay.

Therefore, after hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately asked.
Chapter completed!
