Chapter 350 Smuggling Trade

The most frequent response to and headaches in Zaluhuchi now is the problem of smuggling and trade that has been repeatedly banned. And the more suppressed it, the more rampant it is. The local gentry in Shandong is almost unclean, but Zaluhuchi also needs evidence to handle the case.

So the current situation is that even though you know who is the person in charge who provides the lead and shelter for smuggling trade in the country, you just can't find evidence of them.

This includes both the current problem of backward case handling methods and the actual problem of local people's conditions and geographical environment in Shandong. In addition to the Song and Jin Dynasties, Shandong and Hebei are almost completely useless.

The Han marquis in those places were asylums and advocates of smuggling trade. Even if the manpower was captured by Zaluhuchi of the Ming Dynasty, they could recruit a group of them in a very cheap way in a very short time.

Under the temptation of high returns, it is difficult for businessmen in the country to remain unmoved.

In addition to the long border on land, the long coastline is also an important issue. The merchants of the Song State are not ruled. They will use the coastline of Shandong Province to unite with merchants in the territory to conduct smuggling trade together.

On the contrary, the Jin Dynasty was relatively stable, mainly because the smuggling trade was completely the advantage of the Ming Dynasty. Population and materials continued to flow from the Jin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, while relatively expensive specialties such as wool fabrics, bone tools, marten, deer antlers, ginseng, etc. continued to enter the Jin Dynasty, bringing huge benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

In view of the current form, Wang Qian hopes that the imperial center will allow Shandong Province to recruit more security troops, from the current seven hundred to one thousand. At the same time, local garrisons can also provide limited help to help combat smuggling trade on the border.

The smuggling trade at sea is to open more ports and incorporate unregulated trade activities as much as possible under the eyes of the government. On the other hand, the navy can set up several more patrol sites in Shandong Province to deter and crack down on smuggling trade at sea.

Regarding the taxation of the court, Ulutus also attached great importance to it. Seeing that Wang Qian was only forty years old, his temples were already pale. It seemed that he had also spent a lot of energy on Zalhuchi's tenure.

Ulutus took the opportunity to ask Hunur to get two boxes of ginseng for Wang Qian to nourish his body. At the same time, he also ordered Tai Yingcheng to record this matter and let the Ministry of Statistics and Taxation Department send effective people to jointly verify the tax situation in Shandong Province.

As for smuggling trade, some materials can be banned, and other aspects can be turned a blind eye. However, the main trade share must be led by the government, and every business participating in smuggling trade must register and pay taxes with the tax department.

Otherwise, I will just wait for the sealing and confiscate all the property.

In order to comfort Wang Qian, Ulutus also told him that while he was here, he would let go of his actions. Those merchants or wealthy families who dared not accept the king's transformation and continued to earn personal gain would be severely punished if they found one case.

The Western Army and the Central Army are all here, and there is no way to make big waves in the place.

As for the mess on Hebei and the East and West Road, Ulutus was also here to solve this problem. Uncontrollable smuggling trade must not continue. After all, this will harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

A certain amount of control must be carried out to turn smuggling into unilateral smuggling from the Ming Dynasty to the Khanate, and to turn disorder into order. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty earn enough benefits.

Those Han marquis who secretly made bad things and were fearless were waiting for the hammer of the Ming Kingdom to teach them how to be a human being.

So in front of all the officials, Ulutus asked the cabinet to draft a stern-worded letter of guilt and sent it to Zhongdu. At the same time, he gave Alahaibeji, the grassland in the northern desert, so that she could know what she meant.

Even if we fight with the Han Houshang on the east and west roads, we will not say hello.

The deputy governor of the Western Army, Temulun, was already faintly excited when he saw Ulutus' actions. Since the Ming Dynasty signed a peace talk with the Khanate, the Western Army of Shandong Province had completely turned into local defenders. Listening to the north and south armies of Jiangnan Province defeating the Goryeo on the battlefield, the generals under him also kept asking for troops to go to Shandong and East China.

The local defenders were really useless. Since the Ming army and the Khanate jointly swept the people's livelihood has been declining. After experiencing the raging wave of refugees, the local area has become a paradise for bandits.

The Han marquis only controlled several major cities, and there was no government control in other places. In the absence of constraints, all kinds of crimes were lawless. Although the Ming army had dispatched troops to clear the situation on a small scale, it was a treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause.

To completely eliminate the evil in that place, it must also be incorporated into the governance of the Ming Dynasty.

After the three major officials were finished releasing their posts, they were the officials of various prefectures and counties. Because they supervised local things, they would be more detailed and accurate. Ulutus also learned from them that the general development status of various parts of Shandong Province.

Overall, Dengzhou and Haizhou are the ones with the strongest development momentum!

Among them, sea trade is the most favorable booster.

Ninghaizhou and Laizhou have also developed well. Because they are located in the Shandong Peninsula and are considered to be the rear of Shandong Province, the imperial center has made certain relaxation in the number of resettlement immigrants.

Shandong Province also intends to concentrate its population on the safer Shandong Peninsula, so the number of land reclamation in these two places is the largest.

Except for this, the development of prefectures and counties has not been very good. However, the prefectures and counties have improved since the past empty space, and it will not even be a wasteland in the city.

Without improving the external security environment, it is impossible to completely change the development of prefectures and counties in Shandong Province when the development of prefectures and counties is extremely uneven.

It was precisely because of this that Ulutus did not criticize the parents of the prefectures and counties who had developed very backwardly, but patiently asked them about their difficulties in the local area. When officials mentioned that there were often situations of beasts hurting people in the territory, Ulutus also promised to let the garrison intervene and help solve the problem.

Such affinity makes more officials dare to express their true thoughts.

It was not until noon that the officials had only half heard of their opinions. Ulutus promised to continue in the afternoon and asked everyone to stay for lunch.

This vegetable market is not as rich as the banquet, and seafood is the staple food. As the saying goes, eating from the sea, the fishing industry in Shandong Province has developed very vigorously with the support of the government. Canned food made of seafood as raw materials can compete with the canned seafood in Dalian Port.
