0213 Twists and turns in the boat market
These people have lived in this township for a long time, and most of them rely on the profits of the boat market for their business, and the various measures of the tax package are also described in detail in this letter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So there is no need for Shen Zhezi to remind him more, and he soon realized the profit and significance of this matter.
Whether this matter can be discussed or not is not something that these people need to consider. Their first concern is how it will affect them if it works successfully.
The imperial court's control over Yuhang Zhou City, in addition to the direct collection of taxes by the city supervisors on the passage of ships and ships, also included additional taxes on special commodities such as salt and iron, as well as fees for the use of warehouses along the coast of Zhoushi. Although there are a lot of tax items, everyone knows how much they can really collect.
City supervisors like Shen Yi have entanglements in their respective townships, and they have made friends with various ships to come here, and those who can do it conveniently will turn a blind eye to it, anyway, they are all generous to others. It is useless to see the evil countryside for the unrealistic tasks assigned by the imperial court, and collect local people to support those overseas Chinese in Taiwan Province.
As for the newly photographed city supervisors of the imperial court, they are not familiar with the people's customs and doors, and if they are in the same stream, they will also chase wealth and nobility over there. However, if the attitude is tough, and what kind of investigation is to be carried out, then each family will not be polite. All the year round, who does not have one or two connections and a well-raised hero, it is not difficult to use some means to force people away.
Although each family does not have an exact concept, one thing is certain, if the tax is collected according to the administrative decree of the Zuchao, then the money and grain will be increased several times compared to the present! Nowadays, the annual tax is actually paid before the tax is paid, and the city supervisor and the local merchants meet to negotiate and determine a certain amount, which is made up by each family according to the scale of their business, and handed over to the imperial court to cope with the past.
Once the locals of Yuhang obtained the control and management of Zhoushi, the profits in it were really considerable. Even if you pay double the tax as usual, it will be very profitable! They have lived here for a long time, and they are too clear about the way to avoid taxes for business travel, even if they don't treat the villagers harshly, the taxes payable by business travelers in other counties alone are enough to make people make a lot of money!
In addition to this profit, what makes Yuhang's families even more excited is the ensuing improvement of status and discourse after mastering the Zhou City. Although each of their families has access to Jiangdong and each has a solid family, to be honest, their status in the entire Wu Sergeant clan is not significant, and even many families are regarded as poor families without money.
But if you can grasp this north-south thoroughfare, even if the door cannot be promoted at the first time, the right to speak will become more important.
After a moment of silence, someone else already said: "President Shen's proposal, it is a great benefit to the country and the people, if it can really be done, we will be willing to follow the tail!" ”
President is a title that Shen Zhezi proposed for the head of the Business Alliance, which can be regarded as his little bad taste, summarizing and adjudicating all matters of the Business Alliance. He also fantasized that one day after he took over the business alliance in front of the stage, he would be able to contract fish ponds everywhere willfully, although he has done it now, he still wants such a domineering title.
But some people still hesitated a little, and muttered: "There are many people in the business alliance who are shareholders, and they are particularly involved, and if they manage the affairs of Zhou City, there may be a lot of inconvenience. ”
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he knew that he was worried that the business alliance was powerful, and if he managed the boat market with taxes, it might encroach on their profit space and take over the dominance. Although these people also have shares in the business alliance, they only have the right to share profits, but have no management rights, and at most they have the right to give priority to the supply of orders. There is still a great deal of independence, and it cannot be said that it is completely the same as the interests of the business alliance.
Therefore, Shen Zhezi said with a smile: "My uncle also has something to tell you here, the affairs of the business alliance are complicated, and the Quartet collection and Jingkou transshipment alone are ineffective. The reason why we want to discuss this purchase package tax is just to get more convenience for freight navigation here in Yuhangzhou City, and as for the specific operation, we still have to rely on each family in this township. You are all friends of our business alliance, and you are closely related to each other, and I trust it to you, so I guess you will not have any opinions. ”
"Moreover, you don't have to worry about the difficulty of tax amount, the business alliance boat has passed, and at the end of the quarter and the end of the year, I will come to negotiate with you about the disbursement. As for the rest, I think you have lived here for a long time, and you should have a plan in your heart. If this matter can be achieved, how to operate and maintain, the business alliance will have a special person to discuss this matter with you later. ”
Shen Zhezi first made a promise that the Shang Alliance would not interfere too much, and then said to everyone: "It's just that if it is to succeed, in addition to the Shang Alliance's efforts, my uncle also hopes that everyone here can second." With the villagers coming forward to propose, Taichung has the right to trade-off, and most of this matter can be done. ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't feel embarrassed, and if they wanted to benefit, they naturally had to make a contribution. Before, they either didn't think of such a big plan, even if they thought of it, they couldn't do it at all, and now that the Wuzhong Business Alliance came forward, they just added a fire to the side to promote this matter. As for the operation and even the distribution of profits after the fact, it is a matter of communicating with the business alliance again, Zhoushi is in Yuhang, they occupy a geographical advantage, and there is no lack of confidence in this.
"This is all a matter of course, and we have no reason to excuse it. However, this matter is too important, I don't know that President Shen may be able to take a break recently, so I will go to Wucheng to visit and ask for advice. ”
Although there is Shen Zhezi's promise, the families are eager to finalize this matter, and they still need to have Shen Ke, the deacon of the Shen family, to give him a confidential lecture in person, so that they can feel at ease.
Before going south, Shen Zhezi had already communicated with his second uncle, and after hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's too busy now, when you want to go north, my uncle is waiting for you." ”
After a deep conversation, everyone left in the middle of the night, and when they left, they all clutched the hot letter in their hands, ready to go home and gather their families, and mobilize their respective connections to promote this matter that would be of great benefit to the family business.
After everyone left, Shen Yi frowned and said, "Zhezi, I always feel that there is something wrong with the third brother's thinking about this matter. The business alliance has the right to speak in my family, and it must benefit a lot to promote this matter, but it must also cost a lot. Although it is up to the local people to run the boat market, my family has spent a lot of money on planning this matter, so why should I hand it over to people? ”
Shen Yi's question was also asked by Shen Ke at first. In the eyes of the contemporaries, joint communication with others can prosper one's own momentum, but there is no need to exclusive. But what really matters is that your own family is reliable after all. Yuhangzhou City's tax package is such a thing, which should be held in their own hands and handed over to their relatives to take care of, and there is really no need to let outsiders interfere.
In this regard, Shen Zhezi just smiled and said: "My father has a plan in Huiji, and he will reclaim the land in Shangyu after the year." ”
Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Shen Yi pondered for a while, and then his eyes gradually lit up, clapping his hands.
Shen Zhezi is not a bodhisattva who accumulates virtue and does good, how can he plan such a big thing at his own time, how can it be possible for outsiders to benefit and become a big trend! His family is now booming, if he goes south to meddle in Yuhangzhou City, it will inevitably be full of flowers and boiling oil, too much, aggressive, and not conducive to the newly built Wuzhong Business Alliance Unification Wuzhong Front.
Each family has selfish intentions, and it is okay to make a fortune together, but if the Shen family has a clear attitude to strive for a unique branch and dominate the public, and to interfere in everything, it will inevitably make people disgusted and disgusted, and see the evil villagers.
Moreover, in Yuhang, although the Shen family already has some foundation, it is still an outsider after all, and it is directly parachuted down to take charge of the most important boat market, and the resistance will not be small.
So now, it is necessary to persuade these local families to run for this matter, and hand it over to them to take care of it after the matter is completed, which will also make the transition smoother. As for the future, people are all profit-seeking, and at first they may be able to maintain moderation, but gradually they will eat the marrow and know the taste, and then they will not be restrained. When these families become emboldened and begin to loot past business travelers, there will inevitably be conflicts.
You must know that Yuhangzhou City is not only Wuzhong business travelers, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and western Zhejiang all have to pass through here, and the strength should not be underestimated. When the contradictions between them deepen, strong measures are needed to stabilize the situation. At that time, what each family could ask for was naturally Shen Chong, a powerful faction in Jiangdong who was close at hand, and it would be easy to take back the management of Zhoushi at that time.
In the final analysis, the Shen family has become a pattern in Wuzhong, and the strength and weakness of the Wuzhong family are all making a fuss in this pattern. As long as the pattern of echoing the north and the south remains unchanged, even if some people are prosperous for a while, they are only boosting the Shen family. In this case, if everything is forced to take advantage immediately, it will ruin this hard-won situation.
stayed in Yuhang Manor for a night, and before dawn the next day, Shen Zhezi was pulled out by an energetic little girl to visit the bustling Yuhang Zhou City.
Talking about things last night and talking about late at night, Shen Zhezi was inevitably a little sleepy, and after boarding the ship, he lay on the bed and fell asleep. And the princess stood in the morning light and stared at the boats and boats, shouting from time to time, and seeing everything felt fresh, and it was really full of life.
The so-called Yuhangzhou City, is the section of Zhejiang near the sea, is a natural excellent port, the river channel is wide, every year the river tide surge will wash away a large amount of sediment accumulated at the bottom of the river, usually the wind and waves are calm, the water waves are not prosperous.
Although the boat market is prosperous, but the landscape is actually difficult to call wonderful, look at only the large and small boats, each carrying a large number of goods, in turn by the river Zhuzha water gate, and then go to the four directions. It may feel fresh at first, but it will be boring soon after.
Sure enough, after a while, after the little girl's freshness passed, she also showed a little tiredness, and came over to compete with Shen Zhezi for the Hu bed. Shen Zhezi stretched out his hand, pulled the little girl over and put her on his lap, and said with a smile: "You can settle down, I'm really tired." Later, when you get to the shore, I will accompany you to buy treasures from all over the world. ”
The little girl was still shyly and struggling at first, but when she saw that Shen Zhezi had closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, she also settled down, repulsed the maids around her with her eyes, and then leaned on the Hu bed, looking at Shen Zhezi who was gradually sleeping.
The boat passed among the moored cargo ships, and soon approached the dock of Zhoushi, where you could already see the warehouse buildings on the shore. Princess Xingnan regained her spirits, quietly got up and stood by the side of the boat, staring at the shore with wide eyes.
At this moment, two bamboo poles suddenly came out horizontally in front of him, and immediately stopped the boat. Caught off guard, Princess Xingnan fell suddenly on the deck. Shen Zhezi was not asleep, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly rushed up to help the little girl up, but saw that the princess's side neck had been scratched by the protruding wooden thorns on the deck, and it was bloody.
"What's going on?"
He was already a little angry in his heart, and helped the little girl back to the bed, and then looked forward with a cross-eyebrow.
The few people holding the bamboo pole looked like they were from a wealthy family, and their expressions were quite arrogant, and they shouted: "The Lin family of Jinan is doing things here, don't get close to them!" ”
