- "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
There was a knock on the door.
The gate of the courtyard was opened, and the servant saw an official messenger outside, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the messenger?"
"To your master!"
The official handed out a notice, saying: "In the counties around Guangzhou, every big family must be obedient. The chief town is afraid that the notice will be posted in Luting, and you will not be able to see it if you are blind, so I will send it to the big family's home in person. Hurry up and pick it up." Stay, I have to go to the next one."
The domestic slaves accepted the notice, but the official servants did not leave.
The house slave had no choice but to go back with the notice, and soon a more senior house slave came. The high-ranking servant took out a handful of copper coins and said with a smile: "The poor man took it to tea."
"Easy to say!"
The official took the copper coin, put it in his arms with a smile, and left the house immediately.
Guangdong's expansion was too fast, and officials, missionaries, and peasant association backbones were stationed only in northern and western Guangdong. Moreover, the situation in those places is too complicated, and many things have to be done slowly.
?As for Guangzhou Mansion, Zhao Han has dispatched manpower and is coming here one after another, and the Guangzhou government will temporarily use local people.
The high-ranking servant went in holding a notice: "Master, that Zhao Tianwang has ordered that all the firearms privately hidden by the people be handed over to the Yamen, and private firearms are not allowed in the future."
"He handed it in when he said he would hand it in?"
Xie Shijun had a sneer on his face: "There are many big families in Guangzhou Mansion, so could it be that he still searches every family?"
"Master is right." The senior house slave smiled apologetically.
After a while, the slave came in and reported, "Master, Master Deng invites you to drink tea."
"Prepare the sedan chair!"
In fact, it was in Foshan Town, not too far away, but Xie Shijun still went in a sedan chair, and hundreds of people followed him.
All those sitting together today are merchants in the iron smelting industry.
In the past, the largest iron smelting family in Foshan was called "Xixiang Li", which is also the family where Li Daiwen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs, belonged.
The rapid growth of the Li family originated from official orders.
?Because from the mid-Ming Dynasty, the imperial pots of the internal officials, the military pots of the Ministry of War, and the official pots of the Ministry of Industry were all purchased in Foshan Town for a long time. Foshan hot pot is even exported to Mongolia. It is not damaged when bumped on horseback, and is deeply loved by grassland herdsmen.
?Foshan pot first goes northward by water, then goes to Jiangxi along the Meiling Ancient Road, passes through the Ganjiang River, enters the Yangtze River, and is transported to Beijing.
After Li Daiwen became a senior official, the court only bought pots from the Li family. Other merchants who wanted to sell hot pot had to go through the Li family, and the Li family naturally prospered.
Now, Mrs. Li was killed by a team, and the property under his name was divided up by other merchants.
Even the goods of the Guangzhou Shipping Department were divided up by these merchants, because Fei Ruhe was still far away in Huizhou at that time.
"Did everyone see Zhao Tianwang's notice?" Deng Yunqiu asked.
Deng Yunzhan, the head of the Guangzhou Shipping Department appointed by Zhao Han, is a member of this Deng Yunqiu's clan. It's just that the two sides should have distanced themselves long ago, and it was also Deng Yunzhan, a member of the Deng clan, who proposed to ban private possession of firearms.
Huang Zhaoxiu said: "An arm can't twist a thigh, so let's do it."
Although the arms business comes in quickly, the number of orders is also small. If other businesses are delayed due to privately manufactured arms, the gain outweighs the loss. Many merchants who did not make firearms, or rarely made firearms, were very willing to carry out Zhao Han's orders.
Merchants in Foshan can also be differentiated internally.
"No," Xie Shijun immediately objected, "It's not about money, nor about firearms. It's about our hard work in seizing the city, so how can we count it as meritorious service? This Zhao Tianwang first killed people in front of us, and now he He wants to confiscate firearms, but he has not mentioned how to do business in the future. What does he want to do? I think he wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge!"
Feng Yangdong reminded: "I heard from a businessman from Jiangxi that this man has a dark face and likes to talk about rules. Whoever abides by his rules, he can talk easily. Whoever doesn't abide by his rules, he will arrest people, and most importantly, he will ransack his family and destroy his family." , at least they will be distributed to mines."
"He sets the rules!"
Xie Shijun slapped the table fiercely: "In the future, what should we do with the land and sea business, and set the rules as soon as possible. What's the plan if you don't say anything?"
Feng Yangdong said: "Confiscating firearms and prohibiting private manufacture is to establish rules."
Deng Yunqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Yes, this is making rules.
And it depends on who obeys the rules and who doesn't. To severely punish those who do not obey the rules, Zhao Tianwang's real intention is probably to lure snakes out of their holes, and then kill chickens to scare monkeys!
Deng Yunqiu wanted to understand this, but he didn't say it.
Because of Zhao?Are the various official documents sorted out? "
"It's a mess." Fang Shengchang replied.
Xiangshan County governed Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Macao for later generations. Gan Dashou did not directly go to the post, but together cleaned up the Guangdong archives in Guangzhou.
Zhao Han asked again: "How about the tariffs of the Guangdong Shipping Department?"
Guo Shunyu replied: "There are four major customs in Guangdong. One is in Nanxiong, the tax amount is 43,000 taels; the second is in Chaozhou, the tax amount is 58,000 taels; the third is in Zhaoqing, the tax amount is 41,000 taels; Shipping department, 40,000 taels per year, and often cannot be collected in full."
Nanxiong's Chaoguan, the tax collection business route is "Guangdong-Jiangxi".
Zhaoqing's Chaoguan, the tax business route is "Guangdong-Guangxi".
Chaozhou's Chaoguan, the tax collection business route is "Guangdong-Fujian".
All three of these belong to the Inland River Chaoguan, and the tariffs levied are all higher than the customs tariffs of the Shibo Division!
What's even more nonsense is that the customs tax is so low that it cannot be collected in full every year.
Zhao Han sneered and said, "Give them a surrender, how did Guangzhou merchants win over and corrupt officials."
Deng Yunzhan cupped his hands at the six people and said: "Whenever a senior official takes office, the merchants will definitely have a banquet. If the senior official does not attend the banquet, we will inquire about his preferences. Those who like to recite poems and compose Fu, the merchants will pay for local celebrities to hold a literary meeting .Those who like sex, moon and beauty, merchants will recruit famous prostitutes, and even send beautiful women as concubines If the big officials do not enter, the merchants will start with the entourage of the big officials, and start with the family members of the big officials. Four Words are pervasive!"
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Han asked.
Zou Guangdi straightened his back: "Secretary of Integrity will never be soft!"
"I trust the Secretary of Integrity." Zhao Han said with a smile.
Officials of the ICAC are promoted very quickly. At this stage, they don't need to go through seniority, and they can accumulate political achievements by catching corrupt people.
Guo Shunyu reminded: "Beware of local officials."
?For cross-provincial expansion, it is impossible to appoint all the officials from Jiangxi. Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry out work in Guangdong, or even communicate with the locals. Putonghua has not been popularized these days.
Zhao Han instructed: "Local officials, what happened in the past, don't blame the past. Once corruption and bribery are found out in the future, their old accounts will also be dug out and dealt with!"
"Yes!" Zou Guangdi clasped his fists.
"Report!!!"
"Headquarters, Fujian Haiphong guerrilla Zheng Zhilong, has led the fleet to Guangzhou!"
