Chapter 198 I finally understand

After listening to Guo Kedao's introduction, Qin Bai was completely convinced. It turned out that this thing could be bought and sold publicly?

Unexpectedly, what is even more bizarre is that there is even after-sales service. The store that borrowed Beijing debts was unwilling to lend money, but was willing to make a guarantee. If Ding Yuanxin refused to pay the debt, the store would be responsible for the recovery. Of course, all the expenses incurred during the recovery will be borne by the tax coverer. The store will charge a guarantee fee of 3,000 taels.

This store has the background of Silijian and is a relatively reputable time-honored brand. The eunuchs in Silijian may often change people, but the Silijian yamen has always existed. Therefore, you can rest assured that they are doing long-term business. But is the price of compensation worth it? This has nothing to do with the store.

In other words, it only played a deterrent role. If the tax collector chooses to defeat the enemy, Ding Yuanxin will not be able to lose any benefits in the end. But the same is true, the risks are extremely high, the interests are... that's it! After all, Ding Yuanxin is a local snake from Lingshanwei. It's really a headache to play with something.

Therefore, because of this reason, the choice of tax collectors is quite narrow. First of all, if they have money and cannot afford the money, isn’t that nonsense? Secondly, they are the locals. Otherwise, no matter how much money they have, who would want to touch those local tyrants? Finally, they need to have a certain amount of power, but they cannot be too powerful. If the two sides are not equal, they cannot cooperate and no one dares to rest assured. After all, such tax collectors are difficult to find.

In Lingshan Guard, Guo Kedao belongs to the Ding family's personal military and generals, and belongs to the ancestors and ancestors have been close friends for generations. Since the main family has encountered something, the close friends will think of more ways.

So Guo Kedao found Qin Bai: "Brother Bai, in fact, this matter is good for you to win. After all, those wastelands are not on the land book of the garrison. You can allocate as much as you want to you. The harvest may not be high, but at least you can collect rent. If it really doesn't work, those weeds can still be burned and boiled salt. But there is one place that you have to say, how to sell? It depends on your own ability! In addition, the portion of the garrison cannot be missing!"

Guo Kedao still has that kind of inherent thinking. He believes that the reason why Qin Bai bought land was simply to be a big landlord. Since that is the case, Lingshan Guard doesn't care about giving more, anyway, it's all useless saline-alkali land. As for whether you can farm? Do you still care about so much? Isn't there the right to pay taxes? If you can't collect taxes by yourself, who else can you blame?

Guo Kedao also had nothing to hide about the money. Among them, 3,000 taels are the store guarantee fee, and 1,000 taels are Guo Kedao's errand fee. As for the 20,000 taels from the Ding family, it can be negotiated. However, it is difficult to reduce the price, so it can put forward some not-so-excessive conditions.

To be honest, at the beginning, Qin Bai was ready to refuse, because this fact was too ridiculous.

However, when Qin Bai heard this, he was slightly moved.

In fact, just think about it, you will know that this is definitely a big pit. After jumping in, you will lose all your money. The right to pay taxes? You still buy and sell privately? No matter how unspoken the rules are, it cannot be put on the table. Could it be to ask the court to preside over justice in the future? That is definitely to come to the door and beg for beheading! That is definitely to solve it privately. After all, it depends on who has the big fist!

However, no matter how big the fist is, the people will not fight against the officials! Who dares to threaten a commander of the guard? Isn’t that rebel?

Therefore, if Ding Yuanxin still needs some face, he may be able to recover some capital; if he is completely shameless, he will definitely lose all his money, and the money will be thrown into the water.

But on the other hand, Qin Bai’s demand is not the right to cover taxes at all. What he wants is a base and a way out. If it can be built legitimately, will these silver be worth it?

So Qin Bai began to test, trying to test out the bottom line of Lingshan Guard. But the result surprised him again. Qin Bai thought it was very important, but Guo Kedao thought it was not worth mentioning at all.

"...Brother Bai, do you want to build a village? That's easy? Actually, it's better not to call it a village or a town or a fort. The fort is big and small in the army. There are 10,000-person forts in the border area, and there are also a few people looking at the small forts with beacons. This is inconspicuous, and it's a document from the garrison for the military preparations. Our garrison will build it on its own and do not use the imperial court's money and grain, so there is no reason not to approve it, just to prevent the Japanese and ban the sea! Moreover, there are still many materials left for building cities in the past, which can be sold to you at a cheap price."

"...Yes, your Qingdao Fort can give you two general flags, ten small flags, and hundreds of military households. But half of them will be distributed by us. To be honest, brothers will also settle the upper and lower levels and can also collect some benefits. The errand fee can be charged less. What about 800 taels? But if you have something to say first, your people must also become military citizenship in the garrison. If they don't want to, then we can only come to the garrison."

"...I can give you all that piece of land, do whatever you want, and we can make a contract. Those uninhabited islands can also give you."

"...Water? Of course you can do it if you want to build it. Then let's make up. The seven sea boats in the garrison will be placed in your garrison in the future. Oh, there are only five now, and there are two more you have to fill it up. However, you need to provide the five small flags that drive the boat. After the Dragon Prince's incident, no one in our garrison will go into the sea!"

"...You can rest assured. In the future, you will be the Commander Ding outside. Are you still afraid that you will not be able to find someone to work in the garrison? Besides, you are not not paying wages!"

“…”

After the discussion, Qin Bai finally understood.

The coastal areas that modern people value the most were synonymous with barrenness and suffering in the Ming Dynasty; the most important sea transportation for modern people was feared like a tiger at this time. Except for the fact that they really couldn't survive, few people were willing to go into the sea; and the ones that the times valued were except land, and land that could farm. Otherwise, in their eyes, they would be worthless!

Since this is the case, Qin Bai is not polite. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he will come to a large piece of wasteland, the land of the dock and the military service organization, and the seven naming sea ships.

You should know that the ban on the sea was not fully opened. Except for Quanzhou Yuegang that has released the sea run, there are no other harbors that can moor ships, except those private ports. Instead, Qingdao Fort, which has become a court military port, and the sea ships have also become warships of the Dengzhou Navy, which can be legitimately taken to the sea.
