Promoting beyond the level and prospering, is naturally a great blessing in life, not to mention being in the place where the weight is directly reached in the Maritime Bureau.
Even if the political achievements are insufficient and the foundation is unstable, there is a place where Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse has a trend of prosperity.
As long as you work hard for a few years and follow the steps to restore the previous prosperity of Quanzhou Port, a large amount of tariffs and silver will enter the national treasury, and political achievements will naturally be obtained.
When Dingbian County, Liao Province was promoted to the level of the rise, Zhang Huangyan thought about the plan in this way. Even after the surprise of the news of the promotion of the level of the rise, Zhang Huangyan also comforted himself in this way.
Host for a few years and work hard for a few years.
Even though the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse was as straightforward and straightforward as it was in the Liao Provincial Officialdom, the interest relations were extremely complex...
But Zhang Huangyan still has this psychological preparation in the officialdom and is still in such a place as a pirate in this Maritime Warehouse.
But... Zhang Huangyan stared at the tariff file in his hand tightly. The deep in his eyes, the fear was getting stronger.
The records of the file are very normal. According to the Maritime Taxation System, whether you come from overseas or go to Daheng to go overseas, you must report through the Maritime Taxation System and pay taxes.
What is recorded in this document is the reported business and the taxes paid.
In the Maritime Warehouse Department, he has been in office for more than a year. From the time he has been in trouble, he has become hustle and bustle. Zhang Huangyan has naturally become familiar with the various aspects of the Maritime Warehouse Department.
In this place where the most severely cleaned up, there are almost always shadows of the powerful and powerful people in Daheng.
Since he took office as the Quanzhou Maritime Manufacturing Commander, visitors have been visited in an endless stream. Even if he relaxes his bottom line a little, it will be a benefit of the sky.
He held on to the bottom line, but it seemed that there were people, and it seemed... there were many people who did not stick to the bottom line...
Zhang Huangyan stared at the numbers on the file.
Hongyun Business mainly engages in the trading of porcelain, transported from Fujian to overseas for sale to Western Italians, earning a lot of wealth from Western Italian merchants, and then purchasing grain from overseas and some specialties still in progress, and transporting them back to Quanzhou Port.
It is a very normal marine trade business model, but on this tax book, it is extremely clear that at the end of the fourth year of Zhaowu and early in the fifth year of Zhaowu, Hongyun Commercial Bank almost maintained regular reporting and payment of tariffs, and the tax silver paid was higher than that of January.
This is undoubtedly normal. The situation is stable and business development is on the rise.
However, since June of the fifth year of Zhaowu, Hongyun Commercial Bank's reporting records have been normal, but both the scale of maritime trade and the taxes and silver paid have begun to decline.
Now in November of the fifth year of Zhaowu, the amount of goods and tariffs reported is almost half less than its peak!
But as far as he knows, although Hongyun Commercial Bank was established after Fujian was regained, its scale in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places has been expanding!
A business specializing in maritime trade, whose scale of the business is getting bigger and bigger, but the maritime trade transactions reported by Maritime Trade Department are getting smaller and smaller?
Moreover, the scope of activities of Hongyun Business has always been in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, while in Fujian, there is only one Maritime Department in Quanzhou.
No matter from any perspective, Hongyun Commercial Bank cannot go far and go to the Maritime Mansion Department in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to engage in maritime trade.
what does that mean……
It seems that it is already very clear...
"smuggling!"
The answer was very clear, but Zhang Huangyan did not feel any joy at all.
Zhang Huangyan remembered clearly that after he took office as the Quanzhou Maritime Manufacturing Commander, this Hongyun Business was the first to come to see him.
At the beginning, he vaguely expressed his intention of cooperation, but he flatly refused. After several months, he also visited many people, but under his rejection, he gradually lost contact.
And he naturally knew the background of the Hongyun Business.
This Hongyun Business is the same as most of the Daheng businesses today.
Either the local commercial bank defected to a powerful man, or it was simply a white glove of the powerful man.
Zhang Huangyan is not very clear about what else is going on, but almost everyone who can participate in the maritime trade is like this.
Without the endorsement of the powerful, there is no qualification to enter the maritime trade.
He was a Maritime Mansion Commander, so he was naturally qualified to enter, but he just wanted to be here.
This phenomenon involves the exchange of interests of Daheng's upper class, and it is not something that he can change, but what he can do is to be as fair as possible within the scope of his authority.
As for such a marine business environment, who dares to say that this Hongyun business will only be an individual?
Once it's not an individual...
Zhang Huangyan dared not think about it.
You know, Daheng is not the decayed scene of the seashore in the late Ming Dynasty!
There are naval masters overseas, and the once rampant pirates have long been completely eliminated. In the absence of war, cracking down on smuggling and escorting commercial routes has long been one of the important functions of the navy.
And the seashore, there are garrisons garrisons and anti-smuggling houses patrol and smuggling.
There are special checks and commercial banks for customs inspections in all prefectures and counties in the coastal areas, but there is no stamp of the tax department or approval letter from the Maritime Bureau, so it is impossible to pass.
Such a one-by-one system, if it is a small-scale smuggling with fishing boats, it will be fine to produce and sell it locally.
But like Hongyun Commercial Bank, it involves the scale of several palaces and smuggling matters...
How many joints need to be opened? How many people need to be involved in the process?
This is something that a business that has just been established for more than a year can do?
As far as he knows, the powerful behind Hongyun Business is just a commander. Although it is first-class in Quanzhou's commercial business, there are many people who are stronger than him. At most, it is just because of the commander of the ward.
Without even thinking, Zhang Huangyan could imagine how terrifying and complex the relationship involved.
Today, there are more than a dozen Maritime Warehouses in Daheng, except for a few who are as in ruins as Quanzhou Maritime Warehouses.
The others were all established after the Ningbo Maritime Warehouse Department was established, and they were all long-established existences.
There are all places like Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse, which are waiting to be rebuilt, and other Maritime Warehouse Warehouses...will there be no other places?
Many thoughts were flowing in his mind, and Zhang Huangyan seemed a little restless, as if... The position of this bright future in the ship under his butt was no longer a seat with a prosperous official career, but a powder barrel, a powder barrel involving countless interests.
I don’t know when it will explode. Even if his official career is prosperous, he will definitely blow him to pieces!
You know, now, it is not the rule of the imperial court over the world, nor is it comparable to that of the previous Ming Dynasty.
Such things can be hidden for a while, but they will never be hidden for a lifetime.
From the current layout of the emperor, it can be clearly seen that the emperor attaches importance to the maritime trade and the navy.
And this kind of smuggling is definitely a fatal blow to maritime trade.
Once the truth is revealed, the emperor has always acted...
I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go!
He sat in this position of the shipwreck, on his butt, it was not shit, it was shit!
But we have to get out of the relationship...
Zhang Huangyan was also a little afraid to think about it.
What this involves is too terrifying!
It's more than just breaking the sky!
If he dares to be the first in the world, the surging surging that will probably overwhelm him in an instant!
Chapter completed!
