Han Du pointed at the map, "Now the Ming Dynasty has three governor's offices, Luzon, Old Port, and Java. But you don't have to worry, the Ming Dynasty will soon set up governors in Anping, Champa, Shuizhenla, Manlajia and other places.
At that time, your merchant ships can go all the way south along the seaside, directly to the Old Port or Java."
As he spoke, his finger slid down the map and he clicked twice on the locations of Old Port and Java.
Fu Yong and others became more and more excited as Han Du moved his fingers. Unknowingly, Ming Dynasty had completely opened up the sea route to Nanyang. This is a golden sea route. As long as Han Du can fulfill his promise,
Not to mention the 10% business tax, even if it is an additional 10%, they can accept it.
"If what the Marquis promised can be fulfilled, the sea trade tax will be paid." Fu Yong turned around and glanced at the others.
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "We've made it!"
"Okay!" Han Du clapped his hands happily and quickly pulled a few people to sit down.
When several people saw Han Du being so enthusiastic as a marquis, they immediately said they didn't dare. However, after they sat down at Han Du's strong request, they suddenly felt flushed and proud.
Let me ask, how many merchants in the world can sit at the same table as the Marquis of Chuan?
"Come, I will tell you in detail how to pay this sea trade tax."
Seeing Fu Yong and others looking at him, Han Du said: "Sea trade tax is divided into two parts. One is when you take the goods out to sea, you have to pay 10% of the tax, and the other is when you take the goods with you
After the goods come back, they will also pay 10% tax."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. This was just as they had imagined. Originally, Ming Dynasty's commercial tax was collected at every checkpoint. It was very fair for Shibosi to only collect it twice, once for each checkpoint.
"Since everyone has no objections, it's settled." Han Du smiled, "In addition, I suggest that when you go to sea, it is best to calculate the total price of the goods in advance and pay the tax in silver or treasure notes.
.In this way, you can make more money. After all, a hundred guan of goods will be worth more than a thousand guan when it arrives in Nanyang. When you come back, you can use the goods to pay taxes, which will also facilitate you to clear customs quickly.
, what do you think?"
Fu Yong and others thought for a moment, then raised their hands and said, "The Marquis has thought carefully, and the common people have no objections."
"Since there is no objection, let's pay the tax this time. I will waive the customs tax for you at my discretion. You only need to pay the customs tax when you enter."
This was something that had been discussed a long time ago, and Fu Yong and others naturally had no objections.
Next, it’s time to pay taxes.
Although Fu Yong and others went out to sea this time through everyone selling iron and steel to collect money, in fact, after buying the ship, there was not much money left for them to buy goods. Each person only bought more than 10,000 tons of goods.
.The total of seven people does not have one hundred thousand guan.
But after they sold the goods in the old port, they got hundreds of thousands of gold. Then they turned the money into hundreds of thousands of kilograms of various spices and shipped them back to the Ming Dynasty.
Han Du drew one out of ten, and in an instant the shipping company obtained tens of thousands of kilograms of spices.
Fu Yong and others paid their taxes and went out with peace of mind. The door was already surrounded by merchants of all sizes from the capital.
The hundreds of thousands of kilograms of spices brought into Beijing were naturally hidden from the eyes of merchants. Spices have many uses. They can be used to make incense and medicine. There was no need to worry about lack of sales in the Ming Dynasty. So after learning about this
After so many spices arrived in Beijing, merchants inquired about the origin of the spices. After learning that the spices would only be released after the Shipping Department paid taxes, these merchants swarmed and blocked the door of the Shipping Department.
For merchants, spices are a guaranteed profit-making business, so they are naturally eager.
And Fu Yong was smart enough to leave all the spices in Shibosi without taking away any trace of them. With such a large amount, it was impossible for Fu Yong and others to sell them in small bits by themselves. They could only sell them in large quantities through these merchants.
They let these merchants sell it. In this way, although Fu Yong and others made less profits, they also reduced a lot of risks and were able to withdraw funds quickly.
As soon as Fu Yong walked out of the door, someone waved to him.
"Dong Fu's family, this way, this way!"
"Hey, Mr. Huang, I've been admiring you for a long time." Fu Yong saw the person coming and quickly pushed through the crowd to greet him. "It's my sin to alert you to come here."
Huang Yuanwai was also a wealthy businessman in the capital. Fu Yong thought he had only seen him from a distance a few times and had no chance to talk to him. But this time, he did not expect that Huang Yuanwai would come to the city in person.
Wait for them outside.
Huang Yuanwai saw several other people being blocked at the door by people behind him, so he didn't wait any longer and said to Fu Yong, "Let's go, I'll prepare some wine at the seafood restaurant. Let's talk at the seafood restaurant. Mr. Fu, can you give me a favor?"
"Huang Yuan is so kind, how dare I refuse?"
"Please!" Huang Yuanwai waved his hand.
"please."
Fu Yong asked Huang Yuanwai to walk in front and follow him.
The two came to the seafood restaurant and walked straight into the private room, leaving their entourage outside.
"Dong Fu, please."
"Executive member Huang, please."
After the two greeted each other politely, they sat down opposite each other.
"Dong Fu's family has been working hard at sea. Come and try the signature dish of this seafood restaurant. It still tastes the same as before."
"I'm dissatisfied with Mr. Huang. I want to take this bite, but I almost think of my illness. So you'll be rude?"
"You're welcome, please."
Fu Yong nodded in agreement, took a chopstick and put it into his mouth. A satisfied hum came from his nasal cavity. After swallowing, he sighed: "Okay, it still tastes familiar."
"Here, have another piece, no need to be polite to me."
Faced with Huang Yuanwai's enthusiasm, Fu Yong waved his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Having a bite can be regarded as an answer to my thoughts for so many days. Huang Yuanwai, let's get down to business first."
"Okay, let's get down to business first." Huang Yuanwai put down the chopsticks he had just picked up. After pondering for a while, he looked up at Fu Yong and said, "I think Mr. Fu's family knows the purpose of my visit."
Fu Yong nodded. He naturally knew that Huang Yuanwai was blocking the door personally and came to invite him to dinner. The purpose was naturally the spices in his hand.
"In that case, I'll tell you the truth. I want to eat all the spices that Master Fu has in his hands."
After hearing this, Mr. Fu shook his hand and put Mr. Huang's hand under his sleeve.
"Agarwood has this number. Cardamom has this number."
After reporting the quantity of all the spices to Yuan Wai, Fu Yongcai said with a smile: "I reported the quantity to Yuan Wai, but I don't know what price Yuan Wai can offer?" Han Du pointed to the map, "Now in Ming Dynasty, Luzon,
There are three governor's palaces in Old Port and Java. But don't worry, the Ming Dynasty will soon set up governor's palaces in Anping, Champa, Shuizhenla, Manlajia and other places. At that time, your merchant ships can go all the way south along the seaside.
