One thousand three hundred and forty-two Quanzhou is a safe port
In order to demonstrate the strict image of Mingguo paying attention to laws and regulations, Lin Jingchun adjusted Mingguo's maritime trade policy and erected a [Fair Trade Monument] in Quanzhou Port.
The stele is engraved with laws on maritime trade in fair, open and transparent laws, and can be relaxed for anyone to watch.
Don't hide it or hide it privately.
He publicly declared that although the Ming Dynasty is strong and is a seller's market, we will never do anything that violates the law. All transactions are carried out within the rules of the law and will never break through the limitations of the law. Any violations will be severely punished.
We set the rules of the game, but we also abide by the rules of the game. Don't worry.
This policy announcement was greatly welcomed and favored by merchants from overseas countries, and dispelled their vigilance and fear of Ming Dynasty during the initial chaotic period.
In the actual operation afterwards, they also noticed that the Ming people really talked about the rules.
If you say you will be charged as much as you want, you will be charged as much as you don’t charge more, and you will be charged less.
Some foreign businessmen tried to use past methods to bribe officials of the Maritime Bureau for favorable conditions, but were severely rejected and recorded in the case, giving this person a demerit or something, saying that he would dare to commit a crime and drive him away directly and would never be allowed to come to the Ming Dynasty to do business.
This news shocked the foreign business community in Quanzhou and deeply touched them.
The huge [Fair Trade Monument] soon became a place where overseas merchants must go to "check in" every time they come to Quanzhou, and became a holy place for internet celebrity check-in in Quanzhou.
Not only overseas merchants who came to Quanzhou, but also many overseas merchants also drew the [Fair Trade Monument] and brought them back to their country, telling them that their relatives or friends in the local area must come to Quanzhou to watch this huge monument. After learning the inscriptions on the monument, they can do business safely in Quanzhou.
In order to further attract more big dogs to come to Quanzhou to buy and sell coins, Lin Jingchun also suggested that the Quanzhou government build Quanzhou into a [safe port].
The Quanzhou government then used sufficient public security and administrative forces to maintain public security, increased the crackdown on various criminal acts, severely punished petty theft, used inferior products as good ones, and made water fraud. Once discovered, whether it was a local businessman or a foreign businessman, it was directly included in the blacklist and was never allowed to do business in Quanzhou.
Lin Jingchun wanted to build traditional ports such as Quanzhou and Guangzhou into a golden signboard belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and publicize it widely, and launch a public opinion propaganda war, making Quanzhou and Guangzhou even more famous all over the world.
In this era of rules and deserts, commercial ports that abide by rules and maintain rules are definitely a holy place for merchants around the world, and even have the energy to turn their own rules into world rules.
Although the Ming Dynasty has only controlled Quanzhou and Guangzhou for three years and trade has only reopened for two and a half years, the fiscal revenue brought to the Ming Dynasty's central government in the past two and a half years has reached a relatively high point in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It's only a matter of time before a complete breakthrough.
Quanzhou has a lot of fiscal revenue, so it can spend more money to build ports, cities, and other counties and roads in Quanzhou. High infrastructure construction in the entire Quanzhou area makes Quanzhou more prosperous and vibrant.
As a result, Quanzhou became one of the few cities in the entire Jiangnan region that completely replicated the Ming Dynasty's governance method.
Not only is there a complete government, judicial and public security system, but there are also public toilets, schools, capable Revival Association organizations, and powerful publicity departments.
Before the war to destroy Song, the East China Sea Navy Marine Corps fully deployed various strategic points in Quanzhou. The Quanzhou government informed overseas merchants that everything was within the control of the Ming Dynasty. They could do business in Quanzhou with confidence, but they must be careful not to collude with unfriendly people.
If collusion arises, they will not only lose the opportunity to come to Quanzhou forever, but also have their lives to be in danger.
The result was that when the nine local merchants colluded with foreign landlords, in addition to the intelligence gathering of Tianwang Army, a Japanese businessman, an Europa businessman and a black-clad big food merchant also reported to the Quanzhou government.
Three foreign businessmen said that when they were inquiring about business information, they accidentally found out about the rebellion. After learning about the situation, they felt very scared and worried that something would happen, so they immediately informed the Quanzhou government of the news.
The information discovered by these three people is still valuable and has played a positive role in the operations of the East China Sea Navy Marine Corps.
Afterwards, the three people were commended by the Quanzhou government, and they were given special certificates and bounties. They also engraved their names on the [Fair Trade Monument] to commemorate their contribution to defending the harmony and stability of Quanzhou.
Later, these three merchants were designated as the heads of the foreign districts of their respective regions by the Quanzhou government, and were specifically responsible for dealing with the Ming government. As a result, their status in the respective regions rose sharply and became those who had face-saving ability, making the merchants of their respective countries extremely envious of them.
After this incident, the connection between foreign businessmen groups in Quanzhou Port and the Ming government became closer, and they were more willing to abide by the rules, and even more willing to cooperate with the Ming government than local merchants.
For example, Lin Jingchun decided to expand the area of Quanzhou City and break ground. Several foreign merchants from foreign districts collectively raised funds to purchase building materials, hired workers, and took the initiative to help the government start work.
Five good citizens belong to yes.
The order and prosperity of Quanzhou Port have been rising steadily under a series of operations by Lin Jingchun and Quanzhou governments, and are getting better and better. The fiscal revenue has also risen. In addition to the part that is handed over to the central government, the part that is left to use has also been greatly improved and can do more things.
This has put Quanzhou in a virtuous cycle of development.
At this moment when the war has not yet expired, the value of Quanzhou is more clearly highlighted, so Su Yonglin also has many expectations for Quanzhou.
So Su Yonglin took the time to meet these three businessmen.
The three of them were so excited that they couldn't even speak Chinese well that they had already become proficient in learning that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was about to see them. When they saw Su Yonglin, they were also uneasy and made jokes.
Su Yonglin smiled and told them not to be restrained, then gave them a seat and talked to them, encouraging them to continue to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, make more contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and asked about the customs and customs of their countries, national policies, local policies, etc.
They looked very happy and answered everything.
Regarding the Japanese businessman, Su Yonglin asked about the situation in Japan, asking them whether they were eating well or wearing well, whether the country was peaceful, whether the supreme ruler was healthy, etc.
When the Japanese businessman looked very honest in the face of Su Yonglin, he replied that the country was not peaceful and healthy, and there were some opposing forces who fought endlessly, so many Japanese who hated war came to Quanzhou to do business and settled in Quanzhou by the way, hoping to live a peaceful life.
He licked Su Yonglin by bragging and said that he hoped the Ming Dynasty could bring them the peace they longed for.
Then he kept talking about the conflict between the martial arts and the nobles in China, and some gossip between a man named Heikimori and their emperor.
The words revealed the person's appreciation for Ping Qingsheng, believing that everything Ping Qingsheng did was very meaningful, especially his foreign trade policy made many businessmen profitable.
This made Su Yonglin feel that this person has a good status in Japan and should be a person in the upper social circle. He just doesn't know if he is a white glove or the master is tired of war and ends up in person.
