Chapter 630: Sugar-Coated Cannonball (Supplement 2/2)
"The new task given to you by this king is to be ordered to rob!" Liu Hong gradually swore without surprise.
Daming has a long coastline, Daming itself is the world's largest consumer market and commodity production area, whether it is now or in the future, the old Zheng family is gone, but the maritime merchants of Daming still have to do business.
In the past, they handed over the silver to Lao Zheng, but now that Lao Zheng has run away, this fat flowing oil and a profitable cake is finally the turn of the imperial court.
The old rule, what should you do if you pay the silver, and by the way, I will provide you with the necessary escort, and if you don't pay the silver, I'm sorry, the goods, ships and people are all detained.
Who's going to do the work?
Beiyang Sailor? But there is no spare time, the Beiyang Navy Division is used to fight.
But this matter can't be done by the land arms, it must be a group of people who are familiar with the sea and naval warfare, Yang Liu, Zhong Bin, the two groups of pirates Liu Hongjian have actually been secretly investigating for a long time.
There is nothing wrong with these two people, their ancestors are just coastal fishermen, and they are forced to make a living to do this murderous business.
Just now, Liu Hong gradually estimated that he would make things difficult for the two of them, and he just wanted to test their temperament.
When Liu Honggradually refused to distribute land and property to them, the first thing that these two people thought of was their brothers, which shows that the two of them are still bloody men who value righteousness.
They have boats, people, and hands, and they are simply the best candidates for the Coast Guard Patrol.
"On orders...... Rob? Yang Liu and Zhong Bin were taken aback.
"You heard it right, but if there are merchant ships that have not paid money, you must teach them a hard lesson to the king, and when the time comes, the king will give you a prize." Liu Hong smiled wickedly.
"Lord, this is a perverted matter, if the prince really does this, even if you are the prince, the old man will definitely write a recital and send it to the court!" Huang Daozhou got up and accused.
He couldn't sit still for a long time, the murder and overselling was done by the bandits, and the prince discussed the looting with others under his nose, and swore that unless he was killed, he must be notified to the court!
"Yellow cannon! Don't you think that this king won't dare to kill you! Liu Hong gradually became angry, and the consequences were serious.
This Huang Cannon is really a stubborn bull and a stunned person who doesn't recognize his six relatives, Liu Hongjian finally believes that even if the emperor and his son stand here and say this, Huang Cannon is estimated to be unambiguous.
"Even if the prince kills the old man, the old man will definitely not sit on the throne, and you will bend the law!" Huang Dacang stalked his neck, and his voice was louder than Liu Hong's.
What a nasty guy! But there is another errand for this guy to do, and there is no one more suitable than him.
"You sit down first and listen to the king's explanation." Liu Hong gradually suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and waved his hand at the yellow cannon.
But who knows that Huang Daozhou still doesn't appreciate it, it is estimated that this guy feels that he has offended the prince, and he is still the most favored prince by the royal family, it is estimated that he is not far from death, even if he dies, he must die standing up.
"This king is not letting the two of you do anything wrong, but to crack down on those lawbreakers who refuse to pay customs duties for the court and go for personal gain.
The dynasty has been limited by the treasury over the years, and the interior has not been able to collect much tax due to natural disasters and other reasons, resulting in the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty not being able to pay silver, almost causing a catastrophe.
It is necessary to crack down on smugglers and let these people honestly pay their due taxes to the state, which is not only conducive to the fairness and tranquility of the coastal areas, but also of great help to the imperial court.
You say that this king is ignoring what he said, Huang Cannon? Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, and looked at Huang Dacan.
After hearing this, Huang Dacang knew that he was too anxious, which led to a misunderstanding of Liu Hongchuan, but he didn't want to apologize to the stinky young prince in front of him, so he just bowed his head slightly and sat back.
"The villain must follow the prince's teachings, and the prince will rob whoever I ask, and I will rob whoever I wait!" Yang Liu didn't have much culture, but he also roughly understood the requirements of this prince.
That's simple, no one is more skilled in robbing merchants than them, this is equivalent to hugging a thigh, legalized robbery, won't you be able to walk sideways at sea in the future?
"It's just the prince, this stolen thing...... How do we divide it? Zhong Bin suddenly thought of a tricky question.
This should not have been mentioned, but the stomachs of thousands of brothers under his command must also be considered.
"What kind of robbery, robbery, it's too uncivilized, let's check illegal and criminal smugglers!
Also, what is the point, it is all from the imperial court, and you still want to take the imperial court's money to rob? Liu Hong was gradually amused by these two goods.
Yang Liu's two people were still depressed at first when they heard that they couldn't share the spoils on the spot, but the second half of Liu Hongji's sentence made the two of them widen their eyes.
The imperial court is a fortune? Isn't that ......
"Speaking of which, the three of you are likely to cooperate sincerely in the future! Lord Huang? Liu Hong gradually rushed to sit on the stool with an unhappy look on the zodiac and said.
"Me?" The zodiac did not react on Monday.
"What's the matter with me? The old man is just a white body half cut into the earth. ”
"Maybe it used to be, but now this official has decided, this coastal tariff collection is none other than your yellow cannon.
Later, the king would write a note to the Holy Lord, suggesting that the imperial court immediately set up a general tax department to be responsible for the collection of coastal trade duties.
This king will recommend you as the first chief tax officer, Lord Huang, you will have to show your strength to this king just now, no matter who it is, even if the king of heaven is here, it will not work if you don't pay taxes. Liu Hong gradually stared at the bewildered Zodiac Zhou Dao.
According to Liu Hongchuan's idea, in order to meet the trade needs of the Ming Dynasty and at home and abroad, customs will be set up in Guangzhou (Guangdong), Fuzhou (Fujian), Ningbo (Jiangsu and Zhejiang), and Shanghai (Hui'an) to be responsible for the taxation of imported and exported goods.
Just look at the family background of the old Zheng family to know how much interest is contained in this, and the General Department of Customs and Taxation is destined to be the most abundant yamen in Daming.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a person who is unstoppable, selfless, and unrecognizable to be the chief tax officer, otherwise if the whole group is corrupt, it will be the common people who will be unlucky in the end.
Aren't you yellow cannon?
Come on, come on, it's the mule or the horse that comes out to slip around, and see if your yellow cannon can withstand the crazy attack of sugar-coated cannonballs!
"As for Yang Liuzhongbin, this king will suggest that the Holy Lord set up a customs patrol department, which is specifically responsible for patrolling the coastal waters of Daming, and once a smuggler is found, or a merchant ship that cannot produce any tax payment certificates, he will directly detain and send it to the nearby customs yamen.
If the merchant ships dare to resist, you have the right to fire at them! Liu Hong gradually narrowed his eyes and said to Yang Liuer.
"Thank you for your love, the little ones will definitely concentrate on doing things for the court, and they will not disappoint the prince!" Yang Liu immediately pledged his allegiance.
thought that surrendering to the imperial court would at most be a peaceful life in pieces, but in a blink of an eye, they changed from pirates to officials, how could the two of them not be happy.
Don't say that you have handed over all your family property, even if you are willing to borrow some more money to pay it, being an official is a matter of glory to your ancestors, and it is of great significance to Yang Liu.
"This matter is very important, how can the prince make a conclusion without consulting with the court, this is not the way of a courtier." Huang Daozhou did not object, he was not a hypocritical person who was false and wronged.
With his conscience, he still wants to be loyal to the court, but the royal family and the courtiers don't want to see him.
It's just that the prince acts like this, it will inevitably be criticized, Huang Daozhou is reminding Liu Hongjian that although the matter is urgent, it is best to do it in accordance with the charter.
"It's okay, this king knows in his heart, Song Shu will be sent to the capital urgently today, you just need to build the official office and recruit people as soon as possible." Liu Hong gradually shook off his unhappy heart.
According to the charter, this place is so far away from the capital, it takes two months to go back and forth, and according to the efficiency of the imperial court, it will not take half a year to implement it.
As for him, hehe, everything in ancient times can't escape a high merit, what he is doing now is all for the court, Uncle Chongzhen must have no problem.
As for whether Xiao Zhu can understand and forgive him, he can't control it, if he can't do anything, he can retreat, and it is not his code of conduct to endure humiliation and steal his life.
"Then dare to ask the prince, what is the relationship between the Customs Patrol Department and the General Taxation Department? What if they were to steal from themselves? Huang Daozhou immediately entered the role and asked Liu Hongjian a sharp question.
