"Brother Qunyu, my father and son will never let Mr. Pingzhang come to Taiwan. But, your brother, Mr. Pingzhang, also has to let my father and son and the 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Expedition have food and food, right? There is no problem raising food and money by yourself. We know that the court is not at hand. But the court also has to let our Northern Expedition Army have a place to raise money by itself, right? Let's say that, the Northern Expedition Army in Quanzhou City can not advance, but the Quanzhou Municipal Transfer Department, Guangzhou Municipal Transfer Department, Mingzhou Municipal Transfer Department, must let the Northern Expedition Army go to the Northern Expedition Army? Let's say that, the Quanzhou Municipal Transfer Department may not advance, but the Quanzhou Municipal Transfer Department, Guangzhou Municipal Transfer Department, and Mingzhou Municipal Transfer Department, must let the Northern Expedition Army be

The attacking army will participate in the joint control! Penghu Island, Yizhou Island and Yashan at Lingdingyangkou will all be handed over to the Northern Expedition Army to station the navy. In fact, this is also for the sake of the court. The Pu family is a centipede, and it will not be dead! They cannot take it down in Quanzhou, but it is inevitable to escape from the sea to become enemies. Just relying on the navy of Guangnan, Fujian, and Zhejiang, who are only good at doing business, can the court wipe out the remnants of the Pu family? This matter depends on our Northern Expedition Army's navy!"

The person who spoke was Chen Huaiqing. After seeing off Zhao Kui who was secretly visiting, Chen Huaiqing brought Liao Yingzhong to the door the next day. This time he was here to discuss official business, which was how to divide the big fat meat of the Pu family in Quanzhou!

Of course, it is not a problem to take down the Pu family's land-based industry. The Pu family's thugs suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Dinghai. Some of them were left either following the merchant ships to the ocean, or following Pu Shougen to join Mongolia. The Pu family thugs who stayed in Quanzhou were mainly local Han civilians. It was no problem to help the Pu family bully the market, but they had to resist the court. They were not Chen Dexing's brainwashing soldiers. They were scared to death when they saw the officers and soldiers, and they still resisted?

Moreover, there were not all Arab merchants in Quanzhou City, and the Han merchants were also powerful. Fujian had the prosperous land of the Song Dynasty, and outside Quanzhou City, there were many large clans that flourished and developed based on the imperial examinations. They were all the ruling foundations of the Song Dynasty. When Pu Shougeng rebelled in Quanzhou in history, he was besieged by the brave people gathered by these strong clans. If it weren’t for the Mongolian army coming in time, the Pu family would have been exterminated!

Now, the Mongolian army cannot come, and the Pu family’s military power in Quanzhou is not enough. The Han merchant armed forces and garrisons in Quanzhou alone are enough to deal with the Pu family’s troops. Moreover, Jia Sidao also asked Wang Jian to bring 3,000 elite soldiers to Quanzhou by land, so there is no possibility of even the possibility.

The problem now is that the Pu family in Quanzhou must have received news - the news from the merchants must be more informative than the governments of the Southern Song Dynasty - the Pu family must have retreated to the sea!

The Pu family lost their maritime power and was slaughtered by the Southern Song Dynasty court. It was impossible to monopolize the maritime trade again. However, the big family still had tens of thousands of subordinates to eat and drink. The only way was to change their careers and become pirates, rob merchant ships, and harass the coast.

The Southern Song Dynasty court had no maritime power at all, nor did it have any extra financial resources or energy to build a navy - they didn't even handle the army of the protector! So to successfully eat the Pu family, they could only pinch their noses and join forces with Chen Dexing.

As for letting the Pu family go, it is impossible to let go! Even if the Pu family takes out any garment edict, at most it is a piece of meat with garment edict, and it still cannot escape the fate of being eaten. Because after the Dinghai Battle, Hai Quan had transferred from the Pu family to the Northern Expedition Army.

If the Southern Song Dynasty court wanted to protect Pu Shougeng, it would mean breaking up with the Northern Expedition Army and Chen Dexing! Chen Dexing, who had the power of the sea, only needed to send a fleet to block Quanzhou Port and Dinghai Port. This would make the Southern Song Dynasty court bankrupt!

So Jia Sidao had only one choice, which was to eat the Pu family - and eat it with Chen Dexing!

Of course, Chen Dexing would not miss this opportunity to ruthlessly slaughter the Southern Song Dynasty court!

In addition to asking for the three places of Penghu Island, Yizhou Island and the Yashan area of ​​Lingdingyangkou, he also wanted to intervene in the Maritime Department of Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou!

"No. No, the Maritime Bureau will definitely not do it!" Liao Yingzhong's head was shaking like a wave drum, "Penghu Island and Yizhou Island... have never been directly under the jurisdiction of the court. Anyone who takes it has nothing to do with the court! I have never heard of Yashan..."

The Southern Song Dynasty court had an inspection department in Penghu. There was a market service in Yizhou, but it was not a big deal. The word "zhou" in Yizhou was just a casual call. There was no official of the state Yazhou. If these two places were abandoned, they would be abandoned, and there was nothing difficult to explain.

However, it is no small matter to jointly manage the Maritime Bureau and the Northern Expedition Army in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou. Not to mention anything else, the annual tax reduction and profit margin of these three Maritime Bureaus account for more than a percentage of the Southern Song Dynasty's wealth!

This is the lifeblood of a country in the Southern Song Dynasty!

"Yashan is a small island outside the sea of ​​Guangnan East Road, just a small land." Chen Huaiqing smiled, "There are many islands outside the sea of ​​Guangnan East Road, and are mostly occupied by pirates and bandits. It is also unfavorable to the country. After the Northern Expedition Navy entered Yashan, it can at least shock those pirates and bandits, which are good for the country and the people!"

"If this is true, Yashan Island can be given to the Northern Expedition Navy. However... Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou are the three places directly under the imperial jurisdiction, and the Northern Expedition Army cannot enter!"

In addition to the Mingzhou Maritime Warehouse, although the ports under the Maritime Warehouse Warehouse of Guang and Quanzhou are all outside the city, they are all close to the city gate and the city wall. Moreover, the commercial conditions of these two states are prosperous, and the city gates are usually closed at night. If a thousand Northern Expedition Army outside the city is placed, wouldn’t it be possible to capture Guangzhou and Quanzhou at any time!

"The Northern Expedition Army's army did not enter Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou." Chen Dexing gave in a small step.

"It's not possible either!" Liao Yingzhong shook his head, "The Sanzhou Maritime Bureau is responsible for national use!"

"How much tax can the Sanzhou Maritime Mansion Department pay in a year?" Chen Dexing frowned and asked.

"More than 4.5 million guan of copper!" Liao Ying said in the middle, "This is just a tax reduction. If you count the gains from buying, it will be no less than 15 million guan of copper!"

"It's better to do this," Chen Huaiqing looked at Liao Yingzhong. "Starting next year, the three states' Maritime Warehouse Bureau will have more than 13 million guan of copper. How about all the Northern Expedition Army? Our Northern Expedition Army will no longer ask the court for a money and a property."

Chen Dexing sank his tone on the side: "Actually, our Northern Expedition Navy has already controlled the sea, and the merchant ships traveling to Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou are all under the gun mouth of the Northern Expedition Army! We can completely get the goods on our own!"

Liao Ying suddenly felt powerless in the center. Why is Chen Dexing so domineering? He always wants to rob him. The ancestors of the Anfeng Chen family must be bandits!

"The soldiers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army cannot land!" Liao Yingzhong gritted his teeth and insisted on the final bottom line.

"What Liao Shibo means, is it that the three states can manage the Maritime Warehouse?" Chen Dexing's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"This... I have to nod my head." Liao Yingzhong knew that it could not stop the Northern Expedition Army from being involved in the Maritime Warehouse Department - if they were not allowed to interfere, they would openly go to the sea to rob!

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Then I have another requirement."

"What are the requirements?" Liao Yingzhong's face looked extremely difficult to see.

"It is better to merge the three Maritime Trading Divisions of Quanzhou, Mingzhou and Guangzhou into one general trading department."

"General...General Trade Department?" Liao Yingzhong was stunned, "What's the use?"

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "The Maritime Company is a business operator and collects taxes. The income from buying is much greater than tax withdrawal. However, the Maritime Company's transactions are only done on the land of the Song Dynasty and never touches overseas. Wouldn't it be too much money? If you can go overseas to operate, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Going to sea..." Liao Yingzhong said that the Maritime Bureau used a waste paper-like Huizi to "buy" for only 15 million yuan a year. If he went to sea... who would recognize Huizi in the Song Dynasty?

"14 million guan of copper coins a year!" Liao Yingzhong gritted his teeth, "The Northern Expedition Army generals are not allowed to enter the land directly under the imperial court!"

"Yes." Chen Dexing said in a deep voice, "Then the three civil service departments of Quanzhou, Mingzhou and Guangzhou will be merged into the General Trade Department within the year. The General Trade Department's yamen is located in the Quanzhou Tsutong Port, and the General Trade Department will be assigned to my elder brother. Half of the officials of the General Trade Department will be sent by the Northern Expedition Army!"

Liao Yingzhong thought about it and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go to Heping Zhangqian to talk about these conditions. I can't guarantee whether it can be done."

Even though he said that, Chen Dexing and Chen Huaiqing both knew that Jia Sidao and the Southern Song court had no choice.

This General Trade Department and half of the officials were dispatched by the Northern Expedition Army - Needless to say, this General Trade Department will definitely be firmly controlled by Chen Dexing!

The purpose of Chen Dexing's establishment and control of the General Trade Department was of course not to really go overseas to do business... In fact, Chen Dexing also planned to lay off the buying business of the Maritime Control Department.

Although the three local markets in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou have made a profit of tens of millions of yuan a year, based on Chen Dexing's understanding of the ethics of the officials of the Song Dynasty, the copper coins and wealth they put in their pockets were probably twice as many!

This buying is not so much a money for the country, but rather a fortune for the official! If you really want to collect more money, it is better to increase taxes clearly and at a real price! And you don’t have to worry about what goods are at the entrance and exit, just use the money according to the size of the ship.

In addition, the ports and venues under the jurisdiction of the three major maritime departments can also be entrusted to the committees organized by the Haoshang Company, as long as there are several taxes per year.

However, what Chen Dexing really values ​​is not how much profit the General Taxation Department can bring in a year, but how it can establish contact with the huge merchants along the coast of the Song Dynasty - not only to control them, but also to form a community of interests with them, a community of interests that jointly carry out colonial expansion!

Historically, any successful colonial empire will inevitably gain huge commercial benefits from colonial expansion. And the colonial expansion that is cost-effective is destined to not go far.
