Chapter 45 Wu Sidao's Means

Yinzhen sighed lightly. This is actually a kind of monopoly, local monopoly! industry monopoly! The so-called background is nothing more than clan royal family, officials and aristocratic families, and the party's trick is really beautiful. It not only makes oneself unable to create a ship, but also makes countless enemies for itself. This is not only cutting off firewood from the cauldron, but also killing people with a knife. As long as he dares to touch the maritime trade fleet, countless officials will immediately jump out, and just spitting on the stars can drown himself.

But I am walking on a road without returning. The ocean fleet must be built and the trade fleet must be built. The golden opportunity for the expansion of marine hegemony cannot be missed so in vain. If you waste more than ten years, it will be really cold. [The latest updates in search are all here.]

But what should we do? We shouldn’t talk about the big fleets. Let’s not talk about whether to talk or not. Just looking for them one by one will have to be delayed until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. How can we turn passive into activeness?

Zhang Mengjiao quietly looked at Yinzhen in contemplation. The man smiled brightly, but he was heavy and steady. He was completely different from each other. It was really hard to understand. Thinking of this, she quickly stopped. Who had such great energy to make all the maritime trade fleets enemy him? Why didn't he tell me the reason? Is he not trust me or afraid that I was worried and afraid? This is not a battle between the fleets, but a high-level game. Every move is doomed to the life, death, honor and disgrace of countless people. Thinking that she would join in, she was not only a little excited.

Yinzhen had already stood up at this time, with a sunny smile on his face. Zhang Mengjiao faced his gaze, "Have you thought of a solution?"

"Of course, don't look at who you are?" Yinzhen said proudly: "These sea merchant ship owners are for profit and want to cure them, and of course they have to use them to tempt them with benefits. This time, I want to make them turn over." After saying that, he continued to smile, "You Zhang family has been engaged in sea trade for generations, and you should be clear about the situation of Jiang Customs. Let me tell me in detail."

Jiang Customs? What does the Fourteenth Master mean? Why did he get involved in Jiang Customs? Could it be that he wanted to use customs to coerce those fleets? Zhang Mengjiao was confused, but this matter was too involved and he didn't dare to ask more questions. She said carefully: "Jiang Customs is the same as other customs. There are two main official taxes, ship banknotes and cargo taxes. Ship banknotes are based on the size of the ship. The cargo tax is only 20 yuan. This tax rate is not high. However, the dirty officials of Jiang Customs cleverly set up various taxes and fees privately, such as entry fees, departure fees, parking fees, grain road donations, divisions, fire consumption, cabin inspections, and writing. Even I can't tell the difference. In addition, taking bribes and private privately is also a trend, and the smuggling and tax evasion is quite serious. That's all I know."

"It's enough." Yinzhen smiled, "I'll feel at ease if you say this."

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Laba Festival, the first festival of the twelfth lunar month is also the day when the Buddha's enlightenment is achieved. Both officials and people in the capital are busy cooking, giving gifts, tasting Laba porridge, and celebrating the family traditions of Feng and offering sacrifices to the Buddha. At the same time, the preface of the Spring Festival was also opened, killing New Year pigs, making tofu, making wind fish and bacon, and purchasing New Year's goods. The atmosphere of "New Year" gradually became stronger.

On this day, Yinzhen had to express condolences to Deli's subordinates. After going to the back garden to run to the Buddhist temple in the east and the courtyard in the west, he came to Wu Sidao's south courtyard. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wu Sidao reading a book and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Wu, it's almost the end of the year, it's time to relax."

"I've seen the Fourth Master." Wu Sidao bowed and smiled, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, I'm afraid it's still busy."

"Oh, is there any movement in the Fourteenth?" Yinzhen's face immediately became solemn.

"No." Wu Sidao shook his head, "But it should have been these two days."

Yinzhen asked in confusion, "How can I see it?"

"The sea boats start to go out to sea in February and March every year, and preparations begin during the Chinese New Year." Wu Sidao said as he put the books in his hand together. "The Fourteenth Master should have received the news a few days ago. How could he not be in a hurry? The imperial court and officials from all over the country began to seal the seal on the 20th of the 12th lunar month, and it was not until the 20th of the first lunar month (hehe, you didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty had a full month on the Spring Festival holiday, the Golden Month). The Fourteenth Master couldn't wait or delay it, so he had to react before the seal, which was the past few days."

Yinzhen nodded and asked cautiously, "We are just making a statement in the capital that the 14th must integrate the maritime trade fleet. Why does Mr. Wu dare to be so sure that those maritime merchants will not transport timber to Shanghai?"

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Nothing else, human nature, seeking profit and avoiding harm is human nature. The Fourteenth Master's method of managing the "Four Great Everlastings" is what the world's merchants and officials don't know? Who is not afraid? As long as those sea trade ship owners hear the news, even if they are just suspicious, they would rather believe in their existence than not. There are a lot of business to do, why do they have to do timber business?"

Yinzhen said seriously, "But there are also fleets that specialize in timber business."

Wu Sidao said dismissively, "That is something that the maritime merchants will discuss. If they give them a small share to those fleets temporarily, they can avoid worries. They can calculate the accounts themselves. Although they are usually a mess, at critical moments, someone will come forward to organize them. Those officials cannot even have such a little vision or means. Fourth Master, please relax."

"Sir, it's really a perfect plan. We just moved our mouths and got the fourteenth tortures. Haha, Yinzhen admired it." After saying that, Yinzhen chuckled, "It's time for the fourteenth to destroy his sharpness."

Wu Sidao shook his head slightly without thinking, "I don't see, the Fourteenth Master's actions are always unexpected. We should not take it lightly. Let's see if he makes a move. It should be in these two days."

In the evening, after a day of busy work in the Yangxin Palace, Kangxi began to check and reply to secret letters submitted by various places. He first checked whether there were any Liangjiang Rivers, the dispute over the governors of the Liangjiang River, and Yinzhen's ocean-going fleet were all his most concerned things recently. After reviewing, there was indeed Yinzhen's secret letter.

After taking apart the secret fold, he looked carefully. After a glance, his eyebrows frowned, and then slowly stretched out. In the end, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This old fourteenth is really unique. He has a good move to turn guests into a host, and a good move to shake the tiger. The most rare thing is that he is upright and has a great style. Well, with this talent, Shanghai can be completely relieved. According to this idea, the shares of the Ocean Trade Fleet are probably not worth 500,000 yuan per cent. I have 40%, which is another 20 million yuan. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the affairs of the flag-civilians. Thanks to this old fourteenth one, 40 million yuan! When have I been so rich?
