The Jingkang year name has been for three years forever.

With Zhao Huan abdicating and being deposed as King of Yue, Zhao Gou, who had traveled for more than two years, officially became the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the world's largest economic power.

A earth-shaking change was carried out in the territory of the Zhao Song Dynasty at the same time.

Because the pot was not completely penetrated, the imperial government and the people had too many "remnants of the previous dynasty". In the second half of the year, Zhao Gou, who had been on the throne, could clearly feel the resistance encountered in implementing the new policy.

Although many new policies are still pilots.

But the appearance of the Five Army Governor's Office made the literati excited. That is, Zhao Gou was still holding the newspaper in his hand, otherwise the resistance and opposition he would face would not be smaller than that of the fourth stall of Yong Lao, and the officials and gentry were working together to collect grain.

As for the establishment of the martial arts lecture hall and the Martial Arts Academy, and the improvement of the martial arts practices, it has caused a sensation in the world.

The people of the Central Plains have been fooled by the magnificent Zhao Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. The idea of ​​"the one who sings with the top scholar outside the Donghua Gate is a good person" has penetrated into everyone's hearts. How can this be changed overnight?

Zhao Gou is now building a system, and then uses facts to fill it up little by little to reverse the "literary nobles and martial arts" in the hearts of the world!

However, with the establishment of the new emperor, Zhao Song's business suddenly became more developed, and this major reason was the emergence of the imperial merchants.

Historically, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Emperor Shunzhi held a banquet in the Forbidden City to entertain the eight major Jin merchant families who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains. They were granted official titles and summoned them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were granted the title of "Imperial Shang".

In previous dynasties, there was never a question about the word "Imperial Shang".

Zhao Gou has now established the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The subordinate institutions must be very different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. However, in terms of responsibilities, they are somewhat similar and very different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty.

For example, the royal daily meals, clothing, storage, etiquette, and engineering were prescribed earlier, so Zhao Gou would not change it. He actually set up this Interior Office for two purposes, one was mining and the other was doing business.

Mining is to dig the Japanese gold and silver mines. It is a good thing that is so close to you. God gave it to you. No one has ever taken it in the Central Plains dynasties and ended up being blamed. That's no one else's fault.

Zhao Gou would not make such a mistake.

He still has more than seven years in this world, and he has time to make up for this mistake.

The name of the thunder-torn sky is resounding everywhere. With this weapon in hand, who dares to underestimate Zhao Song? Don’t look at the Dangxiang, the Jurchens, and even the Goryeo people, who sent envoys to congratulate him when Zhao Gou ascended the throne?

For more than seven years, he had enough energy to destroy these countries.

And doing business is to activate business and prosper the economy.

The commercial groups under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are now roughly divided into five, one of which is the foreign trade group, which directly buys goods from the Shipping Department to sell. This is a good deal that is profitable.

How many young people in later generations don’t know about the Maritime Silk Road? Some of them can be written in history textbooks.

Guangzhou, in Lingnan, is the largest port for China's foreign trade. Since the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou has gathered countless foreign merchants from all over the world. Even foreign merchants living in Guangzhou once gathered crowds to rebel and seized the city of Guangzhou. It is recorded that in the first year of Emperor Qianyuan of Emperor Suzong (758), Guangzhou reported to the court and said: "Dashi, Persia surrounded the city of the city. The governor Weiley saw the two countries' soldiers plundered the warehouses, burned the houses, and flew away in the sea.

In fact, it is a maritime businessman with a large number of private armed forces.

From Tianfang to China, there is no law on the vast sea and the sea waves. Each merchant ship is equipped with a large number of swords, guns and arrows. Each of the merchants is working part-time pirates.

When Huang Chao conquered Guangzhou at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he killed all the foreign merchants and foreigners in Guangzhou in one fell swoop. There are records that there were 120,000 or 200,000.

From this we can see that there were many merchants in Guangzhou at that time.

The sea trade in the Song Dynasty was also very developed. There were many foreign merchants gathering there. The Song Dynasty even set up a special fan shop. Just like Pu Shougen, a descendant of Tianfang who massacred more than 3,000 descendants of the Song Dynasty and more than 2,000 Huai soldiers in Quanzhou in official history, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, slaughtered more than 3,000 descendants of the Song Dynasty and more than 2,000 Huai soldiers in Quanzhou. His family is now living in Guangzhou.

However, all the Sino-foreign trade of the Song Dynasty was controlled by the government. How could Zhao Song, who squeezed all the people of his country, let go of the fat piece of foreign trade?

Although they set up fan shops and used the fan shops in the fan shops as their leader, it seems that they are so preferential to fan shops. But what about it?

In the Song Dynasty, the Maritime Trade Department was first established in Guangzhou. With the development of overseas trade, the Maritime Trade Department was successively established in Hangzhou, Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang), Quanzhou, and Mizhou (now Jiaozhou, Qingdao). The policy of withdrawing and buying from foreign merchants was implemented.

And what is a lottery purchase? That is equivalent to a physical tax and a unified purchase.

In the second year of Chunhua (991) of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty (991), the tax rate was "two cents", that is, 20%, which was really too high. After the Tanyuan Alliance, the court no longer fought with the Liao Kingdom, and the military expenditure was greatly reduced, so it was changed to "collect one of the ten firsts". However, some special goods were excluded.

For example, spices, such as rhino elephant, ten points to two points, tortoiseshell, and sumufan's coarse color to three points.

In addition to the ratio of the withdrawal, the Maritime Bureau also purchases some goods, called "Bo Mai". This type of goods is usually royal goods or supplies consumed by the nobles in Beijing, with the most spices.

The foreign merchants introduced tens of goods, and the ones that allowed them to trade freely was probably not enough.

After Zhao Song obtained a large amount of imported goods, he first provided royal consumption and rewards, and sold the remaining materials to cash in, making a huge profit.

As for the corruption of the official system after Huizong came to power, the officialdom was destroyed, and the corruption of the Maritime Bureau would only be even more powerful.

Now that Zhao Gou has come to power, everything has changed a lot. First of all, the number of buyers in Bo has been greatly reduced, which is equivalent to giving the merchants untied the ropes and giving them the opportunity to trade freely.

Therefore, they did not take the banned Fanfang, the leader and the right to preach the mission at all. As long as there is interests, is faith really important?

The Maritime Trade Bureau now has a clear regulation that all imported luxury jewelry, such as rare jewelry, ivory coral, can be taken one out of ten; some other precious items, such as gold and silver goods, and all kinds of spices, can be taken one out of fifteen. Generally, 20 items will be taken one out of twenty. An additional ship tax will be levied, and 30 will be taken one out of ten.

In a sense, this tax rate is much lower than before. In addition, because the imperial court's purchase volume has been greatly reduced, the profits of the foreign merchants have increased significantly. Think about the virtues of the government, will the price of the purchase price be very high?

But the merchants were happy and in pain, because Zhao Gou had to cut one less knife here and two more knifes there. Now Zhao Song, not to mention selling, he had to pay tax, but buying it would have to pay tax.

But the amounts are different.

For example, the above-mentioned porcelain, silk, lacquerware, medicinal materials, tea, etc., can be one in ten. Ordinary overseas porcelain, silk, cloth and other bulk goods, can be one in twenty.

This is to cut the meat of the merchants, but they have to endure it. Because even so, after they transported the goods back to Tianfang, it was still profitable.

The foreign trade group under the Ministry of Internal Affairs controls the goods bought by Bo, and the profits are naturally very gratifying.

The second is glass. If you are engaged in glass products in China, you can know whether it is profitable or not.

The third is cotton spinning and wool spinning. Zhao Gou has collected a lot of cotton seeds, one from the Western Regions, and the other from the Indochina Peninsula. With cotton, there is cotton spinning. The price of cotton on the market is far higher than linen and ordinary silk fabrics.

As for wool spinning, Zhao Song's wool textile industry is mainly concentrated in Guanzhong Road and Hedong Road, and mainly produces products such as felt carpets and brown cloth belts. Hedong Road uses camel wool as raw material to weave "camel hair jokes" and "camel hair brown cloth". The lichen used in the Dachao Club in the Northern Song Dynasty - carpets, were also provided by Hedong.

Zhao Gou now hopes that the wool spinning of the two places will move closer to the wool cashmere textile.

Zong Ze had already started his preparations when he was on Hedong Road.

The fourth is the sea trade, from Zhao Song to overseas sea trade. This is a business that can be launched as long as you have the capital. Zhao Song's merchant ship has already sailed to the Tianfang Peninsula and even Africa.

The fifth is the bank.

Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne was accompanied by the issuance of government bonds, so naturally there were banks.

But this bank is different from the later banks. It is now more like the bank bank in the Qing Dynasty, and it does storage and exchange. But this is obviously the beginning. By next year, something like silver notes will definitely appear.
