Chapter 152 Stalking! (Here we come, there will be more tonight!)

"You come to me every day, what do you want to do? Do you have nothing to do every day?"

Wang Gongchen said helplessly.

Zhang Heng chuckled and said: "This is my job, to convince Shangguan that you agree with me to set up the bank."

Wang Gongchen's expression changed: "But I don't agree!"

Zhang Heng said oh, then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Okay, if you don't agree, I know, I will ask you again tomorrow."

"Wait!"

Wang Gongchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you all such scoundrels?"

Zhang Heng looked surprised: "Ms. Wang, where do you start with these words? I'm not stalking you. If you say no, then I'm not forcing you."

Wang Gongchen snorted and said, "But you will still come the next day. Isn't this a stalker?"

Zhang Heng said seriously: "One thing happens every day. I only ask once a day. Why do you keep stalking me?"

Wang Gongchen sighed and said, "If I keep refusing to agree, are you going to keep asking like this?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you disagree for one day, I will not go to the official, my teacher, or my master to talk about this matter, because you are my superior, and without your consent, I will not

I will never go beyond you to push this matter forward."

When Wang Gongchen heard this, half of his anger disappeared. Only then did he realize why Zhang Heng was acting like this. Zhang Heng really respected him. If he didn't agree, Zhang Heng would not go beyond him to find Zeng Gongliang.

He waited for others to discuss the matter, because the chief officer of the Third Division was Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gongchen did not agree with the matter, so Zhang Heng would not seek help from outsiders about the matter.

Wang Gongchen was no longer angry, but after all he was still unwilling to participate in this matter. He thought about it and said, "I don't agree with this, but if you can push it forward, I won't stop you."

Zhang Heng said happily when he heard this: "That's enough, thank you for your support, sir!"

Wang Gongchen frowned and said, "I didn't support you!"

Zhang Heng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the boss did not support the official. The boss did not express an opinion on this matter."

Wang Gongchen waved his hand and asked Zhang Heng to go out. He didn't want to look at this boy's handsome face anymore. The more he looked at it, the more irritating it became - what a good-looking young man, why is he so lazy?

Zhang Hengxing hurriedly returned to his mansion. With Wang Gongchen's support...well, no, without Wang Gongchen's hindrance, this matter could probably be accomplished!

But Zhang Heng did not take the liberty to find Zhao Zhen, but found Wu Yu.

Wu Yu is the Deputy Privy Councilor. If he can be persuaded, the resistance from the Privy Council will be reduced.

After Wu Yu listened to Zhang Heng's analysis, his frown did not relax.

Zhang Heng felt a little uneasy and asked: "Teacher, do you think it's not possible?"

Wu Yu did not directly answer whether it was OK or not, but asked: "What did Wang Jixiang say?"

Zhang Heng replied briefly: "Wang Jixiang has no objection."

When Wu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed: "Is it that stalking trick you did again?"

Zhang Heng immediately called out to Tianqu: "Teacher, you have wronged me. Am I such a person..."

Wu Yu sneered and said: "How can I not know if you are such a person? When you were involved in contracting the ministerial treasury, didn't you just use this stalking strategy against me? Scoff!"

Zhang Heng, however, did not feel ashamed at all and said with a smile: "It actually proves that what I did is right, isn't it? You have also seen the effect of the contracting of the ministerial treasury.

You can also see the other things I did. The shopping mall thing was a success, the ministerial treasury contracting thing was also a success, and the beauty thing I did for Kaifeng Prefecture, you see, if it weren't for me, this Bian

Can the capital be as beautiful as it is today?

I also organized the government-run coal yard in Kaifeng Prefecture, and all future prefects will have to accept this favor from me.

In addition, regarding the maritime trade, I am a judge in the Third Division, and I have obtained the specific data. Do you know how much taxation the imperial court received from maritime trade in the fifth year of Qingli?"

Hearing this, Wu Yu became interested: "Of these things, the thing about sea trade that you are working the most on is the matter of sea trade. In order to facilitate this matter, you also forced Lu Yijian to be pulled down. So, what happened to the matter of sea trade?"

How's it going?"

Zhang Heng waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense. Ouyang Xiu was the one who took Lu Yijian. What does it have to do with me? If your words get out and the students are hated by others, you will lose one of your proud disciples!"

Wu Yu snorted coldly: "As for you, a thing that can cause trouble, whoever wants to keep it can take it!"

Zhang Heng chuckled and said, "Don't be too good-tempered to get an advantage. I was the one who promoted you to this position as the leader. Now it's time for you to repay the favor!"

Wu Yu raised the paperweight and was about to hit it. Zhang Heng rushed out and said with a smile: "A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. Don't ruin your merit. There is no electronic wooden fish to hit now... Listen."

Do you want me to tell you about sea trade?"

Wu Yu sighed and said: "I don't know what your nature is like. You are young, and you are reliable in doing things. You are reliable, but you insist on doing things that you know you cannot do."

It's possible, but when you put it into practice, it's really possible to do it, and it's really crazy. Tell me, what happened to the sea trade thing?"

Zhang Heng sat down leisurely, recalled various data, and explained it to Wu Yu.

"...The ports currently open are the four major ports of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Haizhou, and shipping departments are set up in these open ports. The data reported at the end of the year is as follows.

The data reported by the Haizhou City Shipping Department is that the total value of import and export goods this year is about 50 million yuan, and the City Shipping Department collects a tax of 3%. In other words, this year, the Haizhou City Shipping Department received a total of

The tax is 1.5 million yuan..."

Just when he mentioned the first port, Wu Yu couldn't sit still. He suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "There are so many!"

No wonder Wu Yu is so surprised. If you look at this data, you will understand why Wu Yu is surprised.

In the first year of Kangding, the top ten state capitals in the country in taxation were the following state capitals.

The annual tax revenue of Kaifeng Prefecture is 402,379 yuan;

Hangzhou’s annual tax revenue is 82,173 yuan;

Qinzhou’s annual tax revenue is 79,959 yuan;

Chuzhou’s annual tax revenue is 67,881 yuan;

The annual tax revenue of Chengdu Prefecture is 67,580 yuan;

Zizhou’s annual tax revenue is 55,078 yuan;

The annual tax revenue of Xingyuan Prefecture is 54,967 yuan;

Mianzhou’s annual tax revenue is 54,376 yuan;

Zhenzhou’s annual tax revenue is 53,536 yuan;

Suzhou's annual tax revenue is 51,034 yuan.

The tax revenue of a mere Haizhou shipping company in one year is equivalent to the four-year tax revenue of Kaifeng Prefecture, which has the highest tax revenue among state capitals in the country. This is astonishing. You must know that Kaifeng Prefecture has more than 200 people like Bianjing City.

The largest city in the world with tens of thousands of people has such achievements. Haizhou, what the hell is that? It dares to surpass Kaifeng Prefecture by more than four times!

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Be calm and don't be impatient. Teacher, please sit down and have a cup of tea to calm your mind. Is there anything else."

Wu Yu took a deep breath, sat down and listened attentively.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Haizhou has just opened its port, and Jianghuai merchants have just started to engage in maritime trade, which is actually the smallest in terms of volume.

Fuzhou ranks second from the bottom. The total value of import and export goods this year is 80 million guan, and the tax revenue reported by the Fuzhou Shipping Department in recent years is 2.4 million guan..."

Wu Yu covered his heart to prevent it from beating too fast and died suddenly on the spot.

What he did was right, because Zhang Heng reported the data next, which made his head dizzy again and again.

"... Hangzhou is prohibited from sea trade, so Mingzhou carries the entire Jiangnan sea trade import and export. Mingzhou's performance is very outstanding. The data reported this year is quite astonishing. The total value of imported and exported goods is 120 million.

Guan, the tax that Mingzhou Shipping Department can turn over this year is... 3.6 million yuan!

However, it pales in comparison to Quanzhou. The value of Quanzhou's import and export goods this year is 180 million guan, and the tax revenue that the Quanzhou Shipping Department can turn in this year is... 5.4 million guan!

In other words, after five years of personal experience, the direct tax revenue from sea trade alone was... 12.9 million yuan! This does not include the commercial taxes collected in this process, but the import and export taxes.

Teacher, are you still satisfied with the results of the tax payment?"

Wu Yu was speechless.

12.9 million yuan, which is equivalent to a one-third increase in taxes in the Song Dynasty!

And this is just a maritime trade license issued by the imperial court!

Oh, and a few shipping companies have also been added, which can probably be regarded as some costs.

Wu Yu's attention was no longer on the bank mentioned by Zhang Heng, but all transferred to sea trade. After he came to his senses, he immediately said: "All ports in the Song Dynasty should be opened, from the north to

Nan, Dengzhou, Mizhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Taizhou, Wenzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou... all of them should be opened, all of them!

I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty. With all ports open, next year we will be able to add more than a dozen state capitals with tax revenue of one million guan. By then, we will be able to increase tax revenue by more than 10 million guan. The imperial court

You will have money to do more things!”

Zhang Heng was suddenly speechless: We seem to be talking about setting up a bank. This sea trade is just to prove that my decision is reliable. How come this conversation is going wrong?

Zhang Heng quickly tried his best to bring Lou over: "Teacher, what we are talking about is the bank..."

Wu Yu waved his hand and said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. We must first implement the sea trade matters. Don't worry about the bank matters. I have always supported you. You can improve it first and wait until I finish the sea trade matters."

Once it’s implemented, we’ll talk about the bank at that time.”

After saying that, Wu Yu started to drive people away: "Okay, I have a lot of things to prepare for now, so you should go back first."

Zhang Heng: "..."

Zhang Heng was speechless, but Wu Yu ignored him. Zhang Heng stood there for a while and could only go back to the Third Division angrily.

After being healthy, my energy is always low, and it is easy to feel depressed and depressed, which inevitably affects my writing state. I have been working hard to adjust recently, exercise more, and adjust my state as soon as possible!
