Since people all pursue the things used by the royal family, why not...?
"Give the Yunnan Provincial Administration Office to express the decree!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Correse Pu'er as tribute tea!"
"This..." Xie Jin was a little surprised. He had never ordered specialties from any province since the emperor ascended the throne. Why did he suddenly order Yunnan tea at this time?
People in the world think that royal tribute is a kind of glory, but in fact, only the person involved knows the pain. If the emperor orders something as a tribute, he will definitely choose everything without saying it. It will also cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and he will not make any mistakes.
"This decree is made clear, and there is also a secret decree!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Treasures are tributes, but there is no need to pay tribute every year. When deporting the official silver for taxes, you can bring three or five kilograms with you!
Don't send it on weekdays, and you are not allowed to send it.”
Xie Jin was even more puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
"Ordering tribute will inevitably cause trouble for the people and money. But after ordering tribute, people in the world are flocking to this item, making their value double!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "I am thinking that it is better to make Yunnan tea sellable, not for my own.
Desire for the mouth and stomach.”
At this time, Xie Jin suddenly realized, "The emperor is really working hard!"
As he said that, he thought for a while and laughed, "I was an official in Guangdong in the same year. He said that the Guangdong Customs, besides porcelain, tea is the best sold!" As he said that, he paused and looked at Zhu Yunxiu's
His face was, "I have an idea!"
Zhu Yunxiu drank the cold tea, "If you have any ideas, say it!"
"Yunnan tea cakes are easy to transport and preserve. I think it is better to let Guangdong merchants and others purchase more Yunnan tea and sell them to Semu merchants!" Xie Jin said slowly.
"This is a good idea!" Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment.
Westerners' pursuit and desire for tea has never stopped, and has even become a symbol of identity and status. For example, in the dowry of Portuguese Princess Catherine to King Charles II of England, the only thing that is shocking is a set of exquisite Jingdezhen porcelain
In addition, there are two hundred and twenty-one pounds of black tea.
Black tea is not a good tea in China, but it is priceless in the West.
In modern times, the British stole Chinese tea seeds and tried the whole world.
Tea can be regarded as a luxury item of this era and is also a magical tool for foreign trade.
"To the Guangdong Provincial Administration Li Jiwei and the Shipment Administration Taxation Department Chen Dewen issued an official document to ask if it is feasible? For other matters, let the Guangdong Provincial Administration and the Yunnan Provincial Administration decide on their own. How much tea cakes can be provided each year? The price will be determined by themselves!" Zhu Yunsheng
Open the mouth.
"I obey the order!"
The importance of Guangdong's customs in the empire is becoming increasingly prominent. Western merchant ships come from thousands of miles and dock in Guangzhou Prefecture. Various cargoes produced in China are continuously loading and freight.
But different from other customs, Guangzhou still has super manufacturing power. Locally produced painted ceramics, wallpaper, cloth, ceramic tiles, floors, furniture, etc. are almost in short supply.
Now in charge of the Shipbuilding and Taxation Department is Chen Dewen, who was sent down from the position of Yingtian Prefecture. That man didn't do a good job in the capital back then, but after he arrived in Guangdong, the customs official bank in Guangzhou alone was compared with
In the past, it increased to more than 6 million every year.
During the old man's rule, the customs' ship taxation was basically a decoration.
Not only Guangdong, but the main task of customs in various places is to receive tributes from the vassal states. No tax will be imposed on the goods brought by envoys of the vassal states.
In recent years, under the instruction and implementation of Zhu Yunyu, commercial tax has changed from dispensable to the pillar of the country.
Any goods brought by foreign vassal kings are taxed 50%; the other maritime merchants are taxed 20%.
Foreigners always regard Chinese people as a great injustice. Since the year of Hongwu, merchants from overseas countries have transported goods to sell in the name of local kings' tribute. Whether it is local officials or civil officials in the court,
There was no tax on the face of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the one who worked the most diligently was the former Goryeo, and they came to pay tribute with a full load of tributes. They not only sold the goods they brought, but also sold the rewards from the Ming Dynasty to Westerners.
This situation in history was filled with the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Goryeo people looked like filial sons and grandsons. They set up offices in the capital for a long time and paid tribute several times a year. After receiving the reward, they sold them and the money was replenished to the Goryeo treasury.
"Your proposal is good!" Zhu Yunxiu praised twice, and then said, "It can be seen that you can take responsibility for government affairs!" As he said, he sighed, "You are my old man in the East Palace, if you know
If you are motivated, why worry about not being able to join the cabinet and become a minister? But you are so tired!"
Xie Jin didn't say a word.
"You really should go to the place to experience it!" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily at him.
"Emperor, I have recently brought a group of Hanlin scholars to revise the biographies of the heroes in the history of the Yuan Dynasty! I am..." Xie Jin was shocked and said quickly, "Besides, I have been following me over the years
However, I am not very proficient in local government affairs. I am not very good at doing errands and I am embarrassed by it. If I fail to do a good job, I will not redeem myself. If I fail the emperor's holy heart, I will never redeem it for death!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "You are full of misconceptions!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh, "Now, there are very few ministers available in the court! I think more, and more people are around to share my worries!"
Xie Jin was there without saying a word, looking down at his own toes.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunqiu missed someone very much, Li Jinglong.
With him speaking, he will never be in a bad mood, and what he says is very thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal!"
Before I knew it, it was already late. After the baptism of rain during the day, there was a hint of coolness in the night wind.
Zhu Yunxiu walked slowly in the imperial garden, thinking about customs affairs caused by tea during the day.
The Ming Dynasty is still wearing the skin of the forbidden sea that the old man had set, but its inner self has been completely relaxed. The prosperity of sea trade is a thousand miles a day.
The situation of neighboring countries is well known. It can be expected that in the past twenty years, the first large-scale tide of navigation and immigration will be coming. The so-called "no long-term thinking" must have immediate worries. The expansion of the island chain of the Ming Dynasty is a good thing, but
Also be prepared to deal with the difficulties and shortcomings.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to have a meal!" The turtle humiliation said in a low voice.
"I'm not hungry, I want to go!" Zhu Yunxiu said softly, and continued to move forward with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, the turtlemaster took the lantern from the hand of the eunuch in front and led the way in the front.
Gradually, Zhu Yunxiu had walked to the West Six Palaces. Under the colorful palace lanterns, the laughter of the palace maids in brocade clothes came faintly.
"What are you laughing over there?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Upon hearing this, the turtle immediately waved forward, and a little eunuch ran over quickly and whispered a few times.
"The Empress Xian Concubine is talking to the Empress Chun!" The turtle hilariously, "The Second Master and the Big Princess are here too!"
"Oh, so lively?" Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised.
Why did Tang Panger suddenly run to Xiao Shunzi and take care of her child?
"Let's go!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Go and have a look!"
