Chapter 104 New Era, New Opportunities

After returning from Youzhou, Qin Mu put forward a very meaningful regulation.

And, in front of Zhuge Liang and others, he said that 'maritime transport will become government-supervised and privately run'.

"Your Majesty, this sea transportation is very dangerous. Pirates and the threat of effects, especially those small countries further away, are very troublesome. Ordinary merchants can't afford the loss at all."

"So, this time I am going to build a new army to deal with these problems and provide protection for maritime merchants"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long-lost system sound came from his mind.

[Long-term mission trigger: Establish maritime patrols and naval forces to prepare for the era of great voyages! 】

Great voyage!
The name alone made Qin Mu's blood boil.

Thinking about history, until the Qing Dynasty, they were not able to participate in such a prosperous opportunity, and later they were opened up by strong ships and guns.

Now that he's here, everything will change.

I can't let the shame of the past repeat itself again!
"King Xian?"

"Huh? Specifically, it's like this."

When Qin Mu was in a daze, Zhuge Liang reminded him, and immediately began to explain the plan.

First, the future shipping companies will be supervised by the government, civil and commercial companies will act in accordance with the law, and the newly established companies will be dispatched by local government personnel who are familiar with shipping to guide them.

Second, the government established a new shipping company, with the same rights as the current government, to manage all marine affairs, and to rectify the previous phenomenon of scattered water transportation.

Third, all shipping companies are tax-free for one year, but all commodity trade needs to pay 5.00% of the freight storage fee, transshipment fee, etc. to the local government, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses.

Fourth, all risks caused by sea transportation are borne by the company itself and have nothing to do with the government. However, the government will arrange maritime patrols and rescue teams to escort as soon as possible, and a certain percentage of fees must be paid.

Fifth, for all company trades and local government trade, each transaction needs to pay the Maritime Transport Administration a deposit of no less than 50.00% of the goods. The same loss fee will be deducted from the security deposit.

Sixth, the Maritime Administration has the right to suspend and rectify all shipping merchants, including the assets delegated by the Wangfu.

Speaking of this, Qin Mu thought for a while.

"The other is the issue of authorization. The Maritime Transport Administration will be a very important department. Its importance is no less than that of an army. All shipping within the jurisdiction needs to be certified by the Administration, otherwise it will not be allowed to trade at sea. Those who do not abide by the regulations will be dealt with as smuggling!"

Afterwards, we will talk about some disaster relief, emergency recruitment, route management and other issues.

The rectification of shipping will be a huge systematic project!

However, after the order from the palace, all the officials and even the academy realized a problem.

Maritime Authority!

The power of this huge organization is comparable to half a palace!

Of course, apart from military power and the actual control rate of the regime, almost everything will be controlled in the future of shipping!
After these articles passed through a group of legal discussants, a lot of order was added.

Most are about issues like penalties, local security protections, passenger ships, shipbuilding standards, etc.

One of them is the most conspicuous, "No.30 stipulates that the above-mentioned daily necessities, low-tech, high-priced grains, etc., and all other commodities are not within the scope of trading with Dongying. Violators will be sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison! Serious cases will be cut off!"

As for Dongying, Qin Mu has been paying attention to it all the time. It seems that this country is now engaged in a 'village war'.

The civil war was extremely serious, and the Tang Dynasty bowed down temporarily.

Before long, it must be removed. Such a geographical location is an excellent place for maritime trade and entering the West!

On that day, the loan business of four banks broke out again, including metal smelting, mining, coal mining, transportation, material manufacturing, etc., and dozens of industrial chains suddenly experienced explosive growth.

The manpower gap has also begun to grow wildly, especially for steam engine manufacturing companies, and the order volume is simply exploding.

The order has been scheduled for the next year, and I dare not accept the next year's order!
According to the investigation report of the government in the coastal areas, the local loan amount is as high as more than 7000 million!

Fortunately, paper currency has begun to circulate in large quantities, and it is expected that full coverage will be completed by the end of the year.

Even if the reserves of gold and silver are insufficient, more banknotes can be printed appropriately for market circulation.

Most of these loan companies are established by local governments and mines, and one of them has as many as [-] shareholders!

Fish County Freight!

You can tell from the name that this is a private enterprise with official participation.

Yu County, a small county in Tianjin, is called "Yu County" because of the huge amount of fish produced locally and the rapid increase in the development of canned food.

The company's shareholders, the local county government holds 30.00%, and the remaining 50.00% is allocated to other nineteen medium and large commercial banks.

They are not manufacturers, but undertake the shipping canning trade by sea.

Everything has started a frenzied financing and consumption, all in all a great scene.

Explosive news appears in the newspapers almost every few days, and the common people seem to have become numb.

In my opinion, it is common for a firm to earn several million through trade, and there is no such thing as an increase in the annual tax revenue of the local government.

Everything was beyond expectations.

In the industrialized commercial age, everything is so novel and shocking!
Qin Mu's first step goal is initially completed, and the next step is to truly strengthen the army and establish a perfect system!

And the first step in the beginning is the army.

Yue Fei was stationed in Pingzhou, the last city under control in the Bohai area.

Arranged the situation of the garrison that afternoon, rode in a horse-drawn carriage for three days in a row, then replaced the fast horse and came to Lingzhou, where he hadn't returned for more than two months.

Inside the palace, there was a lot of excitement.

Dozens of important officials, including Zhuge Liang, were also present.

Look carefully, there is Brother Lan, the head of the Public Security Bureau.

Yue Fei seemed a little puzzled, since it was to discuss the military, why did he call in these officials?
They are not responsible for fighting
"The virtuous king is here, everyone be quiet."

Everyone immediately got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty!"

"Get up, everyone, there is only one issue discussed at this meeting, and that is military reform!"

"Reform the army!"

"This"

A group of people were stunned, military reform is not so easy.

In addition, the military power is all in the hands of the virtuous king, and his subordinate Yue Fei is also stubborn, why should reform be carried out?

Once the military power is dispersed, the problems caused are very serious!
