The next day, Xiong Ting came to the Shipping Department with both excitement and apprehension.
He and Xiong Shi talked for half the night last night, and almost all of it was Xiong Shi saying that he was listening. It was Xiong Shi who told him what he should pay attention to when he became an official. However, it was only when Xiong Ting arrived at Shibosi that he discovered what his uncle had taught him.
None of them can be used.
As soon as he arrived, he was taken to receive his official uniform, and then he was told to change his clothes and go to see the Marquis of Zhenhai immediately.
Xiong Ting came to the court and saw a group of officials sitting on the left and right, while the Marquis of Zhenhai was furious. He stood at the door and didn't know whether it was better to go to see the Marquis of Zhenhai first or meet the various superior officials first.
Han Du turned around angrily and saw Xiong Ting standing at the door. He immediately laughed and waved, "Xiong Ting, come on, come here quickly."
Xiong Ting stepped forward dully and paid his respects in a formal manner, "I'm going to pay my respects to the Marquis." ??
"Xiong Ting, your most important task now is to hand over the double-entry accounting method to them." Han Du said without any politeness.
"Yes." Xiong Ting didn't know what was going on. He was cautious and since it was Han Du's order, he agreed. Before he came, Xiong Shi had warned him that he, a new official, would be in the Yamen.
He had no roots and credentials, but fortunately he knew the Marquis of Zhenhai. Xiong Shi warned him not to get involved in the yamen's messy affairs, but to just hold on to the Marquis of Zhenhai's legs and gain a firm footing first.
"Give you half a month to at least learn the basics of double-entry bookkeeping for me. If you can't learn the basics, get out of here!"
Han Du stared at everyone with a murderous look. When no one dared to speak, he waved his hand.
"Let's break up."
Officials filed out as if they had been granted amnesty.
Xiong Ting walked in front and was surrounded by others as soon as he went out.
"Master Xiong is young and promising, with a bright future."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I despise my position." Xiong Ting is just a ninth-rank official, and the one who speaks to him is a deputy envoy from the sixth rank.
"Don't be humble. It's fate that we can be officials in the same government office. How old are you? How about I call you Xiong Xiandi?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"That's it. I've booked a banquet at the Seafood Restaurant today to welcome Brother Xiong Xian. Please don't worry about the double-entry accounting system in the future."
"That's right, please give me the honor, Sir Xiong." The other officials were obviously of higher rank than Xiong Ting, but they called him Sir in return.
The officials present were not fools. The Municipal Shipping Department collected tens of thousands of kilograms of spices at one time, and the Marquis of Zhenhai dared to intercept half of it. What was the purpose of intercepting it? Isn't it for the benefit of subordinate officials like them?
With such a huge source of income, the Shibosi Yamen will sooner or later become the first-class Yamen in the capital. None of the officials present will be willing to leave.
And now the key to deciding whether they can stay in Shibosi lies with Xiong Ting, so Xiong Ting naturally receives extremely high courtesy from everyone.
Xiong Ting was a little confused, 'Did you agree that you should take the initiative to invite the superiors to dinner? Did you agree that you would take the initiative to show your goodwill and establish a relationship with the superiors? Why is it the other way around now?'
It only took one meal for Fu Yong to sell all the spices in his hands. Although other merchants had different ways of selling spices, they did not delay too long. In just one day, they sold the spices.
All sold out.
Fu Yong got the silver and treasure banknotes.
Angrily, he repaid all the money he had borrowed before, and then started the process of buying goods crazily again with great ambition.
Time is money. Now that the Marquis of Zhenhai has just finished sweeping Nanyang, and there are no pirates on the sea, it is the safest time. Moreover, merchants in the Ming Dynasty generally have a fear of the sea. It has been so long since the sea ban was lifted, but there is no one except them.
Merchants dare to go overseas for trade, which is proof.
If he hadn't been really desperate at the beginning, he wouldn't have chosen to put all his wealth into a desperate situation.
But as the news of their big harvest spreads, merchants will inevitably flock to the sea. Even if there are more people waiting and watching at the beginning, as the merchants go to sea again and again to make huge profits, others will inevitably
Follow-up. Therefore, this period of time is the golden period to really make money.
This time, the seven of them also advanced and retreated together. After organizing the goods, they paid the tax at the Shipping Department, received the tax payment certificate, and went out to trade again without any hesitation.
The tax payment voucher was specially made and marked with the type and quantity of the taxed goods. It also specifically stated that merchants could use the tax payment voucher to enter the seaports under the jurisdiction of the Ming Governor's Palace and seek help from the navy.
Seeing that Fu Yong and others were so unhesitating, other merchants began to make plans to take action after asking about the rules and rights of the Shipping Department.
When they also wanted to go to sea for trade, they discovered that there were no ships. The Ming Dynasty had banned the sea for more than ten years, and the craftsmen who could build ships among the people had long since starved to death. Now the only person in the entire Ming Dynasty who can build large ships is Longjiang of the imperial court.
Bao Shipyard and several other shipyards.
You can't go to sea without a boat, but if you want a boat, you have to buy one from the court.
Suddenly, countless wealthy businessmen and merchants crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Those with connections sought help from the Duke and Marquis, and those with friendships spoke to the ministers of the DPRK. Those who really had no connections or friendships simply found Handu here.
"You said you want to buy a navy warship?"
"Yes, yes, please give me a favor, Lord Marquis." Huang Yuanwai, who had just bought Fu Yong's spices, stood in front of Han Du and kept nodding and bowing.
It can be said that Huang Yuanwai is also very powerful. He just spent a lot of money to buy Fu Yong's spices, and now he is still not satisfied and has decided to go to sea trade.
He also heard about Han Du's personality from Fu Yong, so he came to inquire about it just in case.
Han Du pondered for a while, these people naturally want to go out to sea to trade when buying ships. The more goods they send to sea, the more sea trade taxes they can receive. The benefits to themselves are naturally obvious.
"Warships are weapons after all, and I don't dare to sell them to you on my own initiative. However, I can ask the emperor to see if he approves it. If he approves it, then it's natural for you to want to buy the ship."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"Well, just wait. I will enter the palace immediately and ask to see the emperor."
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenhai wants to see you." The old eunuch walked softly to Lao Zhu's ear and said.
"Well, Xuan." Lao Zhu's eyes were always on the memorial without raising his head.
"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty."
"No need," Lao Zhu said casually. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Han Du and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Your Majesty, it's like this." Han Du told the merchant about his idea of buying a ship. The next day, Xiong Ting came to the Shipping Department with both excitement and apprehension.
He and Xiong Shi talked for half the night last night, and almost all of it was Xiong Shi saying that he was listening.
