Chapter 284 Domestic Shipping
The bulk commodities of the sea trade are also mainly silk, cotton cloth, porcelain, tea, sugar, etc. in the south. Obviously, there are too few products in the north.

Yan Siqi blinked his eyes. In his impression, apart from Liaodong ginseng, there seemed to be nothing good to look at.

Li Dan pondered for a while, and said: "Selling overseas, I think there are not many merchants in the north."

When Wu Dazhang and Shao Hanliang were slightly disappointed, Li Dan went on to say: "But I think that if you do fruit business, it should be a way to make money."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the servants outside the door entered the room in response, and put a large plate of fruit on the table.

"Oranges, sugar cane, guava..." Li Dan introduced them one by one: "I came to the capital in winter and bought some southern fruits, which have already been sent to the palace. Brother Wu and Shao, if you think it's rare, If you can sell well, then do this business.”

Yan Siqi also opened his mind, and added beside him: "The sea route leads to Tianjin, the time is short, and the fruit is not perishable."

Wu Dazhang and Shao Hanliang looked at each other, but did not express their views immediately.

"Domestic short-distance shipping is also profitable." Li Dan said with a smile: "This is also the meaning of the Holy One. Our Maritime Chamber is planning routes and ships, which can be regarded as a supplement to ocean trade!"

Long live to gradually abandon water transport, Wu Dazhang and Shao Hanliang understood in their hearts, and also thought of the advantages of short-distance sea transport.

Shao Hanliang nodded slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, the goods of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will gradually be changed to sea transportation. As for the fruit business, I think it is very good. Not only the north transportation in the south, but also the fruits in the north, and the south. transport."

Wu Dazhang patted his leg twice with his big fat hand, and said, "Henan has a lot of fruit, and it's very cheap. It's a good deal to load and unload the goods from Tianjin. It's a good deal."

Yan Siqi glanced at Li Dan, and said to himself: This old guy is still a ghost. Before the short-distance shipping officially started, he got a big client.

Li Dan raised his eyebrows, raised his glass with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your kind hospitality. Please come to Shanghai when you have free time, and let me wait for you as a landlord."

Wu Dazhang laughed, raised his glass and said, "Someone is planning to set up shops and warehouses in Shanghai, and I need the help of the two of you!"

Yan Siqi raised his glass and said, "Brother Wu just needs to say something about such a small matter, it's very easy."

The four smiled and clinked glasses to drink, and talked about the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the meeting with the palace tomorrow.

"The strength of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not too strong." Li Dan said: "But it is still in its infancy, and given time, it should not be underestimated. This time, the emperor's promotion of them is mainly for the collection of business taxes."

Wu Dazhang nodded in agreement, and said: "The payment of commercial taxes in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is supervised by officials stationed by the imperial court. Members of the Chamber of Commerce are also strictly inspected. There is a fear that someone will break the law and affect the entire chamber of commerce. Come in. I think, they still know the importance."

Yan Siqi said: "Everyone does his own business. Our maritime merchants can purchase in the mainland, and we don't need to rely on them. Of course, it would be good if we have them to supply."

"This Tang Mo—" Li Dan said thoughtfully as he turned the wine glass, "I should ask more questions, or get acquainted."

Shao Hanliang nodded in agreement, and said, "Brother Li, there is no need to worry. If Tang Mo is sensible, he will naturally come to visit us if he is awarded the title of Lord. If we take the initiative to make friends, we will lose our status as seniors."

Li Dan chuckled, and said: "It makes sense, we are seniors, and he is a latecomer, so there is really no reason to take the initiative to make friends."

Yan Siqi took a sip of the wine, feeling very refreshed, and couldn't help but open his mouth to let out the smell of alcohol, and said: "I think that when we meet tomorrow, we may also talk about the Imperial Bank. Exchanges in different places, lending and lending, for businessmen Saying that is a good thing."

"By the way, there is still a deposit." Yan Siqi added: "I have read the regulations in the newspaper, and I think it is very convenient."

Wu Dazhang nodded, and said, "Remittance in different places is really good. It is safe and saves transportation costs. For loans, the interest rate is also reasonable, which is much lower than that of banks."

After all, it was an industry run by the emperor himself, and it was covered by an imperial name. Several people had the same idea, but it was different from Zhu Youxiao's meaning.

But they guessed well. Zhu Youxiao did take the opportunity of this group meeting to promote the bank's business.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao is not only thinking of "business", but also hopes that "business" will be combined to resettle more landless people, and it is best to promote the development and growth of the citizen class.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, although the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, it still had great limitations in commodity production.However, it is always difficult to become an independent commodity producer by relying on farmers to weave to assist farming and to support farmers.

In other words, independent handicraftsmen must develop vigorously in order to promote the accumulation of social wealth and the expansion of commodity production.

However, the well-capitalized merchant groups don't really have much money to invest in large-scale commodity production.A considerable part of the capital has turned to buying land, lending usury, or paying the government to seek privilege protection.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Youxiao wanted to encourage businessmen to open factories and recruit workers, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use the credit from the Imperial Bank to encourage handicraftsmen to expand production.

Moreover, increasing the rate of commercial tax is not intended to constrain and limit the development of the commodity economy.

Cancel the "send to buy" for merchants, exempt banknote customs charges for one-time tax payment, and simplify the management of merchants' goods and transportation.As well as the future reforms of the Taxation Bureau and the Bank of China, and the reduction of exploitation of legitimate businessmen, they are all good for businessmen.

Not many people can see through this step-by-step plan.Just like Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang and others, they just watched one step at a time, and were pushed forward by Zhu Youxiao in constant speculation.

.....................

Not being understood by others, really, seems to be quite good!
Zhu Youxiao felt that as an emperor, if he was to be called qualified, it would not be completely understood.Only in that way can there be a sense of mystery, and in that way people can't understand.

The main thing is to talk about most of the courtiers below, it doesn't matter the people around you, but the people next to your pillow need to show your heart to each other.

"My lord, Concubine Yu likes to eat oranges and dried cherries very much." Li Chengcheng came in and reported, "I even asked my servants to thank God on her behalf."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and focused again on the title book. There are two copies in total. One is submitted by Yuan Shizhen of Lianghuai Yanfa Dao, and the other is submitted by Lin Xishi of Lianghuai Yanfa Dao. It involves issues left over from history." Huaiyue dispute".

Seeing that the implementation of Yuan Shizhen's guidelines has achieved remarkable results, Zhu Youxiao did not study further.There are also too many things to do, including military, political, and economic issues, and he has to compile a book, so he is so busy that he doesn't have much time.
