After successfully concluding armed parades in Nagasaki, Edo Bay, Kagoshima, and other places, the fleet made a short pause in Nagasaki for supplies and embarked directly on the voyage back to Ryingao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On my second trip to Japan, the summer harvest in the south was abundant. Not only did it successfully complete the goal of building a closed tax system through Nagasaki, blocking the door of tax evasion for all maritime merchants, but also killed the future national surname by the way, avoiding the bloody drama of the son avenging his father. As for the Edowan Treaty with Tokugawa Iemitsu, it was a bonus, and although the so-called extraterritoriality and other provisions were more political than practical, and for the time being they were only to protect the security of the Nagasaki Merchant House, they would be even more useful in the future if they could free up their hands to infiltrate Japan. At the moment, of course, the most important thing was that ships that did not pay taxes to the Qiongzhou battalion were not allowed to trade in Nagasaki, and that Japanese were recruited freely.

Thinking of recruiting the Japanese, Xia Nan glanced at Shimazu Chiyo, who was standing motionless on the bow of the ship with a katana in his arms, this guy brought back to Lingao, is it a blessing or a curse?

Since getting on the boat, Shimazu Chiyo has never taken the initiative to talk to Xia Nan and the others, and she has nothing to do but stand at the bow of the boat, standing for several hours, and the cold sea breeze can't make her move for half a minute. Xia Nan slandered in his heart, he was expelled by his family in disguise, and now he is his own subordinate, what kind of cold route do you take? The pestle is cool in the bow of the ship, when it is the bow of the ship?

However, he didn't accuse Shimazu Chiyo half a word in person. After all, from being a candidate for the governor of a vassal country, to going to a foreign country to be a bodyguard, the object of service is still his former opponent, and the gap between this is too big, and it takes time for everyone to digest. Moreover, in comparison, the attitude of her father and younger brother will make her more chilling, right?

Thinking of this, Xia Nan actually sympathized with this crazy woman. No matter how strong a woman is, she is still a woman after all, when it comes to politics and power games, men are much more ruthless and ruthless than women, and naturally play more slippery, how can Chiyo Shimazu, who can only dance knives and guns, play Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who has been a hostage in Edo, has endured for many years, and has always coveted the throne of the governor? In the impression of Xia Nan, throughout the Edo period, until the eve of the Meiji Restoration, none of the successive lords of the Satsuma domain was a fuel-efficient lamp, and this Shimazu Mitsuhisa was no exception. Otherwise, under the brutal suppression of the shogunate, how could the Satsuma clan develop in adversity, absorb the advanced culture and technology of the West, and become the vanguard of the downfall of the Tokugawa family from a "Kyushu hillbilly" in the eyes of the shogunate?

There were no words along the way, and the fleet only took more than half a month to return to the port of Bosuke.

At this time, Bofu has lost its original calm, from only warships entering and exiting, mooring, to a scene of merchant ships gathering, sails covering the sky and the sun, countless merchants from Nanyang, Guangdong, and Jiangnan gathered here from all directions, and paid commercial taxes in accordance with regulations.

Bofu Port has become a maritime transportation hub connecting Nanyang and Jiangnan, and the location has suddenly become important, and even the industries near the port have also developed, as if overnight, countless merchants, restaurants, inns, and even brothels have opened a few - these brothels are specially designed to serve the sailors and men on the merchant ships in the Jiangnan and Nanyang, although the grade is not as good as those in the Jiangnan, the girl's appearance is quite mediocre, but the business is very hot. The sailors and men who have been at sea all the year round have come ashore and see that the sows are all double-eyelid, and the physiological needs are just needed.

After getting off the boat in the summer, I saw the various tertiary industries springing up on the streets leading to Lingao New Town, as well as the bustling crowd, I was a little stunned, this is inevitably too fast! Do you remember that before you left for Japan, there were not so many shops on the streets, except for the long queue in front of the port tax office?

When he saw the places where signs such as "Chunxiangyuan" and "Cuihong Mansion" were hung, he was even more stunned. At the door, there are half-old dressed up in fancy clothes and enthusiastically greeting the men who come and go, inviting them to sit downstairs.

Lin Weiye was also speechless: "I didn't expect this tax to be set up to have such a good effect on the tertiary industry......

Xia Nan nodded: "Where there is demand, there is a market, and the emergence of these stores is the general trend, but these businesses cannot be allowed to develop in a disorderly manner, and they must be regulated." Let Wu Mingjin take care of it another day, if Lingao makes a miasma, it will also be a dereliction of duty for his parents! ”

He called Liu Quan over and asked: "You took the lead in the construction of the new city, I remember telling you that the industrial area, commercial area, and residential area should be well planned, and these shops near the wharf have been allowed?" ”

Liu Quan was a little worried: "The merchants who opened these shops did come to me, and I also collected the silver according to the price of the land in Xincheng, and it was all entered into the account of Tiannan Commercial Bank, but seeing that you were too busy, general, these little things were not reported in time......

Xia Nan is an old driver, and when he heard it, he understood that in order to properly resettle the people of the old county town in the new city, they were all residential areas, and the land was all cabbage prices. These businessmen got the Wangpu land next to the wharf at the same price, and made a lot of money, and they must have given Liu Quan a lot of benefits in private, and the little money handed over to the official account of the commercial bank was negligible.

However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no fugitives, and Xia Nan also understands this truth. As long as he doesn't delay the business, he will turn a blind eye to the gray income of his subordinates, not to mention that he didn't expect the port area to develop so rapidly, many rules have not been explained clearly, and the system construction has not kept up, and the board can't hit Liu's whole body.

He said to Liu Quan: "Forget about the shops that have already collected money, let them continue to operate, but the money that should be made up must not be less - how can such a good land be valued according to the place where the people live in the new city?" When you return to Nanyuan, you call Wu Mingjin, there are some things that have to be handed over to the county government to do, and you can't carry them all, Tiannan Commercial Bank is now in charge of the business between Guangdong and Japan, and you are in charge of such a big plate, how can you have the energy to take care of these trivial things. ”

Liu Quan secretly wiped his sweat and hurriedly responded: "My subordinates know, and I will go to Wu County Commander immediately." I thought to myself, the old man is so shrewd, most likely guessed that he collected the money from the shop, although it was not broken, but he had to be a good person, and he couldn't wait until he untied the lid to make up for it.

He made up his mind to return all the money tomorrow, and he had the dividends of Tiannan Commercial Bank, and he really shouldn't take these small money. What's more, according to the master, the price of the land of these shops must be recalculated, and all of them must be made up until they are made, so that the money must be returned, otherwise it will fall into the reputation of collecting money and doing bad things, and the businessman will sue the master, and he will not be able to step down.
