Yanei took off his luggage from the horse's back, Song Jiu opened it and looked at it, and said, "Follow me to see the foreign merchants."

"Okay," said happily. Song Jiu said that in the future, various commodities will be sold to foreign merchants and make money from the world, which sounds like awesome.

In February, foreign merchants and sea ships arrived again. Generally, it took a year and a half to go back and forth from Dashi to Guangzhou. In winter, the west wind blew and went out to sea. When they arrived at the Malay Peninsula, they couldn't wait long. The southeast wind came and arrived in Guangzhou, and then traded and stayed. Some foreign merchants, like Song merchants, got married and had children in Guangzhou, and made many friends in the local area. Guangzhou was their second hometown. When they were in short supply, they borrowed funds from their friends. The next year, they returned to bring back principal and interest. Then at the end of the second half of the year, they took a boat to the Malay Peninsula, waited for a few days, and returned to Dashi in the spring of the third year. The ones they grabbed were this time period. They usually didn't stay in the Malay Peninsula for a long time. One was chaos and the other was not as rich as Guangzhou.

The actual sailing time is not long, only two or three months, and the rest is trading or waiting for the monsoon.

Song Jiu also unexpectedly heard something: not only were there any ship capsized, but there were pirates on the sea, not only on the Malay Peninsula, but also on the Chinese side. This made him laugh and cry.

To meet a foreign merchant, Song Jiu had to show off. He asked Wang Zheng and Guo Da to carry Hu Shop. He had no intention of riding a horse for a time, but he would not be able to ride a horse anymore. He only recognized Song Jiu, who was sitting on Hu Shop.

The two brother-in-law were criticized and Pan Mei also let them come over, but they couldn't stay for long before they had to go back. What made Pan Mei the most upset was that her daughter came to Lingnan with her granddaughter in her arms. However, she was still halfway and had not arrived.

This is Lingnan. Wait until summer to suffer.

Song Jiu came to the port and saw his bed coming. A large group of monks lie on the ground and cheered. Pan Weide left his father and became amazed again and said, "Brother-in-law, you can do it."

These two heartless people were convinced by Song Jiu, which was what they thought, and that was as simple as they thought.

Song Jiu asked the foreign merchants to start.

When dealing with foreign merchants, a small number of Han people began to go into the sea. Not many, not far away, and they were still influenced by the Tang Dynasty's policies and prohibited people from going abroad. Moreover, the risks at sea are high, so it is better to buy foreign goods and sell them to foreigners' Chinese goods, which makes a lot of money. Therefore, there are still few people and tourists from the Southern Han and Han.

Song Jiu asked them to sit down and opened the luggage of the yamen. First, there were various glass products, and Song Jiu quoted them one by one. This time, it was not to make money quickly, but to trade for a long time. The prices were fair, like an ordinary mirror, which cost only two or three hundred cents. Then there were some exquisite silk and porcelain, and finally the wine was taken out.

The man looked at the packaging and his eyes were straightened. Can this wine be drunk?

Pan Weide whispered: "They can also speak Song dialect?"

It is not the standard Song dialect, but the Lingnan Chinese language. However, the difference between Hakka dialect and Song Dynasty Mandarin is not too big. If you speak it slowly, you can understand it. Song Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Half of them have married and had children in Guangzhou. Do you think they can speak Chinese?"

"Yes, yes, Liu Hou is right. We are half of the Han family," a fan said with a dance.

Song Jiu opened the bottle of wine and asked them to taste it each. After drinking dozens of opera, he closed his eyes and savored it. After a long time, he said, "What a good wine."

Then they asked the price.

Regardless of whether the officials were concerned, in their eyes, even if they were the king, they would still dare to discuss business with the king.

Song Jiu didn't care, and kept talking about the price, and said that the first batch of goods was coming soon. Then he stared at twenty or thirty of the frown merchants and said, "You don't have to worry. The frown ship let Liu Feng take away. The flaw he committed was also the flaw of me, the Chinese. I will compensate you. Now it's too late to buy a ship and build a ship. You negotiate with your friends to invest in the shipbuilding while bringing the goods back. I will give you a 20% discount. When will your losses be compensated and when will this discount be cancelled? If you are tight, you can borrow money from your friends and you will guarantee you."

"Mr. Song, you are such a good official." More than twenty-two-year-olds Tao cried, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"It's not that I am a good official, Your Majesty is kind and righteous. We officials dare not act recklessly. Now it is the world of the Song Dynasty, not the world of the pseudo-Han. From now on, your paradise will come."

The people of the foreigners were unrestrained, and Song Jiu's words made all the fans dance on the shore.

Shi Baozheng murmured: "It turns out that he can really sell someone, and he has to count the money for this person."

He was a newcomer and didn't know that Song Jiu's reputation in Lingnan was a golden sign, worth millions of yuan!

Song Jiu and others stopped and said, "But these are the first-class commercial goods in China. The output is very low and the quantity is not large. If you order too much, you can only purchase limit."

There are not too many facts. The word "buy limit" was restricted, and the merchants were anxious and started to discuss business. The wealth of these people was unimaginable. Several of them were very likely to have more than one million yuan in their personal property, and most of them were liquid funds. Time was even more time. Even if they handed over the goods to them now, they could not go to sea and had to wait until winter. In just a blink of an eye, they would make a business worth more than two million yuan. Song Jiu didn't dare to take it, otherwise there would be more. They would not ask for deposits, and they would automatically deliver it to their door.

But thinking of the gray land on the east side, Song Jiu's expression immediately became desolate.

Let the yamen play on their own.

They made a lot of money in this transaction. Guangzhou has not burned, and there are many restaurants and brothels. If you are interested, there are also other prostitutes. I heard that someone brought women from Europe, but they brought them with blond hair and green eyes and a lot of hair. People in the Central Plains thought they were monsters, so no one brought them. There were also some black women, except for Liu Feng, a heavy-tasting person, and the people didn't like it. There were actually a few, and the price was very low. Of course, it was okay to look at novelty.

So they let them play.

Song Jiu took the order and found Pan Mei and Wang Ming and said, "General Pan, it's time to establish the Maritime Bureau."

In the past, the tax collection in Nanhan was extremely irregular. Some could be collected, while others did not. It was definitely not possible. It was just that if the transaction was successful, it could be taxed tens of thousands of yuan. It could not be considered as levying one's own tax. Song Jiu's order was only part of it, and there were more transactions.

Several people sat down to discuss and made it into two parts, one cent was expensive goods. These were huge profits, including Song Jiu's glass, spices and gems, etc. This must be extracted, and both parties paid 5% of the tax. However, in order to encourage bulk transactions and tax payments, if more than 50,000 guan, one percent can be reduced, one percent of the more than 100,000 guan, and one percent of the 200,000 guan, and one percent of the 200,000 guan. Ordinary goods are paid according to the Song Dynasty's residence tax, and they also enjoy the discount on bulk transactions.

Song Jiu did not explain. No one asked. In fact, this is a disguised method of preventing tax evasion. The more bulk traders are, the easier it is to collude with the government and not pay taxes. With the discount, they will be able to pay a little bit. Or they can piece together the number of small and medium-sized boats to reduce taxes, which is equivalent to reducing the scale of smuggling. If they pay in this way, the tax will not be low. For example, the order in Song Jiu handed over 4% of the order, which also reached nearly 100,000 yuan.

If you have something to gain, you must have something to pay. Repair the warehouse and let them store the goods when they come. At the same time, various protection laws and policies are revised to ensure their personal safety, and even train a small-scale maritime patrol to wipe out coastal pirates, at least in the mainland. They cannot be allowed to rob property for the pirates.

Several people discussed for two or three hours, which was a big deal. They sent Kuangma to the capital to review and approval by Zhao Kuangyin.

Then the large army arrived.

Song Jiu gave them a team of notes. This was the plan last year. It was too late to expand. There were only one hundred farms, mainly in the eastern region, the western region as the auxiliary, the Han people as the auxiliary, and the barbarians as the auxiliary. If the barbarians were willing, they could set up a farm where they were, but the effect would not be very great. Most of the barbarians are too lazy now, and each region has different production climates. This is what Song Jiu compiled the information through the pictures and books, and different regions will have different focus.

Let the students and the old farmers go down to find the territory with information.

With another order issued, the magistrates of all counties must cooperate. These farms are sparks and fire. Whether Lingnan can get better depends on them. However, Lingnan is too big, and one hundred or dozens of farms is far from enough, and two counties have only opened one farm.

Then a government order was issued. If there were victims in the War of the Han Dynasty, the situation at home was very difficult. They arranged to work in the farms nearby. These farms were not all rented for farmers. There were too many wastelands in Lingnan, and some farms specifically guided the people to open up land. Two years later, the yamen withdrew and all these well-established lands were given to their families. We could not expect the court to provide pensions for the Southern Han Dynasty. How could the court pay this? This was a disguised pension.

The remaining are the filial sons of all prefectures and counties. In the future, once the scale expands, Lingnan must use local soldiers to hand them over to the family members of the local soldiers, so that they can train with peace of mind and cooperate with the court to arrest thieves or fight.

Then he issued a government order.

This decree is even more special. Song Jiu recorded a diary in Hunan, but it was just one of his ideas. Some could be used, and some were not. However, he accumulated a lot of experience in Hunan, including water dams, fields, trolleys, terraces, records were recorded by Pan Wang and others, as well as various minor officials, and then revised and sorted them out. After printing, the officials above the county magistrate were one book, and then they were removed from miasma. Malaria must exist, but whether there was miasma exists is still a mystery. All states have miasma territory, including Guangzhou, and Duanzhou in the south is a severely affected area. Song Jiu didn't believe it very much, but he could not transfer thousands of people to force them to live in for a few months to verify.

In evidence, if something happens, who will bear the consequences? Song Jiu explained part of the reason and looked at the topographic maps of each miasma. There are mostly two situations. One is dense forests, especially in valleys, where there are many water vapor and many things. The other is the banks of the rivers and rivers. Most of them are at the bends, with large curves and large curves. The water flows towards the curves. On the curves, it forms a quiet water area. The animals and plants that float upstream do not leave here and begin to rot. There is no fear of toxic gas. The key is that these areas attract mosquitoes to come. They crawl around on it and bite on people. When malaria comes, no one says malaria, but malaria.

If the situation allows, these areas can be ploughed and exposed to the sun when the miasma is light, and it is impossible for large rivers to spread mountains and ridges, but several large trunks can be set up, which is beneficial to irrigation and the water is moving. But it is also said that the people should be spontaneous and do not worry about the people. But one thing must be implemented. All officials must repeatedly promote the people not to eat raw water, especially the source of raw water of unknown origin, so that the people should sleep in mosquito nets when it is dark during the late spring to late autumn.

The cost of mosquito nets is not high. If you are so poor that you can’t even afford mosquito nets, let the senior household chiefs and Li Zheng count and verify them, report the list, and the imperial court will send special personnel to distribute mosquito nets from door to door.

There are many things to do, water conservancy and road education, but where can you get money?

Then another decree was issued, prohibiting Lingnan from selling good people to be slaves, and those who violated the crimes were severely punished, including those in the barbarian areas, and those who were serious were in person! If tenants or craftsmen were hired, they must be paid at a direct price and must not be forcibly hired by any means.

Wang Ming sighed and said, "I have grown up so old that I have never been such a good official."

After hearing this, the few people drank a slutty wine. No matter how good it was, they would burn it even if it was burned.

Before Liansen and his son arrived, the imperial edict arrived, and three times in a row.

The first is that people from Baiyue have been ruthless for a long time. The officials of the Lingnan provinces who have investigated the false governments that are harmful to the people should be eliminated. This imperial edict is equivalent to not giving up, which is not just a harsh government. I don’t know how many benevolent governments are gradually being implemented.

But there was no reward or punishment. I guess Zhao Kuangyin had a headache too. If he was punished, he could not take it seriously for money and not take it as a great contribution. If he was not punished, think about the wealth, he would be so angry that he would ride a horse to Lingnan and kick each of the big guys.

And the court was quiet and there was no minister making a sound.

The second imperial edict arrived a few days later. The Lingnan Commercial Taxation and Salt Law were levied according to the Jinghu Regulations. The commercial taxation was also levied, but according to the Jinghu Regulations, the taxation was slightly lighter than the Central Plains. As for the wine, it was still uncontrollable. This was a fear of arousing the civil unrest in Lingnan.

The third imperial edict came late, without mentioning rewards and punishments, and made a series of personnel transfers. Fan Yu was the magistrate of Yongzhou. The terrain was very important, and Jiaozhi was the south. Wang Mingxian served as the magistrate of Guizhou, Zhu Xian was the magistrate of Shaozhou, and Song Jiu was the magistrate of Guangzhou.

Last year, Tongzong Road, Langzhou, wrote a letter saying that some of the employees in Langzhou were local tyrants and relied on their local strength to lose rents and violated the deadline. So he set up a separate letter to these people and punished them according to the restrictions. Let's come to you. It depends on whether you are cruel or the court. I feel that this method is good, so I wrote a letter to ask Zhao Kuangyin to promote it into a system.

In recent years, there have been many quarrels between the Tongzong and the governor. There are many people who beat people with fists below. Zhao Kuangyin was helpless and simply defined the responsibility so that he could not make any arguments. So he let the Tongzong take charge of his rent. His name is Guangzhou Tongzong, but he is actually responsible for the entire Lingnan rent.

These appointments are not surprising, but the next one is strange, which makes Pan Mei and Yin Chongke the governor of Guangzhou together.

Pan Mei said: "Two magistrates?"
Chapter completed!
