Some people may think that since people can buy large amounts of charcoal and coal at low prices, how come there is still no charcoal to burn?
Everyone should know that it is not possible for all the people to buy charcoal and coal, only some people can buy it. What about the remaining people who have not bought it? What should they do?
After listening to Han Du's suggestion, Lao Zhu finally nodded and laughed.
"As you said, I will set a price for you later."
Lao Zhu's smile made the whole room warm. Later, Lao Zhu took the hands of Xu Da and Tang He and said, "Two worthy brothers, and all the soldiers, you fought hard for me to conquer this Ming Dynasty."
Jiangshan, I will keep all your achievements in my heart, and I will never dare to do or forget them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being able to care about me so much, I will die without any regrets." Xu Da and Tang He were moved to tears and swore in succession.
Lao Zhu was also moved and comforted the two of them for a moment, then raised his head and looked at everyone, "I also know that you have lived and died for me for the sake of honoring our ancestors and blessing our descendants. But unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty was established and the country's strength was difficult. I had to live within my means.
, the rewards given to you are also thinner and thinner."
Lao Zhu's sensational words moved everyone even more. They all said that they did not love money, but only loved to go through fire and water for the emperor.
However, Lao Zhu did not take everyone's words seriously. Instead, he pointed at Han Du and said: "But now it's better. Having this boy lead you to do some business can make up for some of my debt to you. Although this boy is older,
I don’t have much ability, but I can still be trustworthy when it comes to making money and running a business.” .??.
Lao Zhu said this, so naturally no one had the slightest opinion.
Next, Lao Zhu started chatting with everyone one by one.
Han Du discovered that Lao Zhu was really good at soothing people. In addition to Xu Datang and others, he also took care of everyone else one by one. Moreover, it did not make people feel abrupt, but made them feel like a spring breeze.
No wonder there are so many people willing to work under Lao Zhu, no wonder they are willing to risk life and death for Lao Zhu. It must be said that Lao Zhu is indeed unique in winning over people's hearts.
Now that Lao Zhu is here, the nobles are busy responding to the emperor, and naturally have nothing to say to each other. After Lao Zhu got up and left, others followed suit and left.
Before Lao Zhu left, he secretly gave Han Du a piece of folded paper. After everyone left, Han Du opened it and found that it was the land deed prepared by Zhu Shou for Lao Zhu.
One hundred thousand acres!
But what puzzled Han Du was that Zhu Shou had reclaimed more than one million acres of land in Luzon, and it was nominally Lao Zhu's, so why did he give it to Lao Zhu alone?
However, since it was given to him secretly by Lao Zhu, Han Du did not make any announcement. Anyway, after the establishment of the trading company, he would just count the land into his shares. It seems that since Zhu Shou dared to give Lao Zhu 100,000 acres of land, he would naturally do it for Lao
Zhu prepares the manpower for farming, so he doesn’t have to worry about it himself.
The Municipal Shipping Department was formally established.
On the first day that Han Du took office, he attracted Fu Yong and others.
"The common people pay homage to the Marquis. The Hou has traveled thousands of miles, which is really enviable to the common people."
"Haha, Mr. Fu is so polite. I still need your support for this promotion." Han Du kissed him.
With a smile, Fu Yong and others were welcomed in.
Fu Yong came to the Shipping Department today because of the tax payment issue that he discussed with Han Du last time.
"Master Hou, don't blame the grassroots for being direct. May I ask the grassroots and others about paying taxes? How does the emperor decide?"
Han Du smiled and said, "The Emperor has decreed that all goods traded by sea must pay a commercial tax of 1 out of 10."
"Ten draws and one draw." Fu Yong frowned when he heard this and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Master Marquis, this tax is comparable to the thirty draw tax of one, it is much higher."
Han Du waved his hand to stop Fu Yong's words, "Dong Fu, please listen to what I have to say first. You will pay one out of ten commercial taxes. Since you have fulfilled your obligation to pay taxes, you will naturally enjoy the corresponding rights. As long as you
After paying the tax at the Shipping Department, you can dock at any port under the rule of the Ming Governor. Not only will you not be charged any tax, but once you encounter danger, such as the cargo ship being robbed by pirates, as long as
You bring the news to the nearby Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion will help you get your goods back from the pirates. Of course, how much you can get back, or whether you can get it back, depends on your luck."
Han Du has always believed that since businessmen have paid taxes, they should enjoy corresponding treatment, and the Shipping Department has the obligation to solve their problems.
Fu Yong and others were stunned when they heard this. They had never thought about paying taxes and what rights they had. In the past, when they paid taxes, they just paid them. After the government collected the money, they would no longer care about them.
.
The businessman paid the tax, but found that it had no effect at all. The money that should be channeled was still a lot of money and had to be given away. If things go on like this, naturally no businessman is willing to pay the business tax.
But Han Du now said that as long as they paid taxes at the Shipping Department, they could settle in any port under the rule of the Ming Governor, and they would not be charged any more. Moreover, he would also help them fight against pirates.
If this is really possible, then they will certainly be willing to pay taxes.
"Do you really mean what the Marquis said?" Fu Yong's eyes widened, looking at Han Du with both surprise and worry.
Han Du nodded, "Of course, once you pay the tax at the Shipping Department, a voucher document will be issued to you. With the voucher, no matter where you go under the governor of the Ming Dynasty, they will not charge you a penny of tax.
.And you will also be given a flag of the Shipping Department, which means that you have paid taxes at the Shipping Department. If you hang the flag on the mast, the navy under the Shipping Department will protect you when they see it. Of course,
You can also ask the navy for help, for example, if the ship breaks down and needs to be towed back to the port for you, etc. Of course, such a thing will require you to pay a certain fee. What do you think? Do you think it is fair?"
"Fair!" Fu Yong's face began to tremble with excitement. If the previous government could do what Han Du did, businessmen like them would have voluntarily paid taxes. How could they evade taxes?
The tax of 1 out of 10 seems to be higher than the 1 in 30 tax, but if it can be done as Han Du said, it will actually be cheaper. Not only is it cheaper, but you can also enjoy various benefits. Where can such a good thing go?
try to find?
As for Han Du's character, Fu Yong and others can trust him, and they no longer have the slightest doubt about his words.
"Okay," Han Du clapped his hands happily, "Bring me the map of the Nanyang Governor's Palace."
The officials unfolded the map of Nanyang. Some people may think that since the people have bought a large amount of charcoal at low prices, how come there is no charcoal to burn?
Everyone should know that it is not possible for all the people to buy charcoal and coal, only some people can buy it. What about the remaining people who have not bought it? What should they do?
