People who run boats on the sea are all knowledgeable and have a wide range of knowledge. They are looking at thousands of people in the sea to make a big construction project. They have prepared a lot of stone wood and all kinds of tools. From the morning riots to the present, each platform has a large scale, and the dark cannons are placed there. Who has never seen the fortress placed by the river? Leaving, it is simple. Look at the wreck of ships with only masts left on the river, and then look at the holes on the two ships on the dock. Everyone feels cold to the bottom.

The young master looked so old that he looked harmonious, but how many children on the sea in the south and north sides killed people with a knife when they were in their early teens. No one would have any luck because of this.

"After checking the goods and paying the tax silver, you can leave, and everyone will not believe it. But everyone thought that this would not be to let everyone hand over the goods and silver on the ship. Then they slaughtered everyone and let everyone return to their hometown!

Looking at Wang Tong's smiling face, some of these maritime sailors even trembled.

"I wonder how much tax the master wants to charge?

Someone asked tremblingly, and everyone was cursing, thinking that his life might not be able to be saved. You also asked how much tax and silver you would lose.

"Two draws ten percent!!"

There were only a hundred people below who could make the decision and have some status. Wang Tong spoke loudly, and these people could hear clearly.

There was a quietness below. Wang Tong thought that everyone had not heard clearly his words, so he could not speak again at the top of his voice, but it was still quiet.

"Master, just 2% of the time?

After finally reacting, someone asked tentatively, but no one cursed in his heart this time, and everyone showed a concentrated expression.

"Of course not"

Wang Tong kept a secret, saw the expressions of the people below turning into a dead look again, and he held back his laughter and continued to say loudly:

"This time you did not take the initiative to declare the value of the goods and pay the tax on the silver, and the penalty is twice as high as 40%.

"Master, 20% or 40% are calculated based on the value of the goods?"

The man who was asking the question below was trembling. The sailors below, each staring at Wang Tong with their eyes wide open, made the guards beside Wang Tong a little nervous and were ready to go out at any time.

“According to the value of the goods!”

Wang Tong's voice was not that loud this time, but he said it very surely. With a loud bang below, the fear and despair just now disappeared. Everyone whispered to each other and buzzed into a ball.

"But the gold, silver and money carried by each ship goes to sea. Taxes are also required. Regardless of gold, silver and copper coins, one ten percent will be drawn.

"Sir, these money are the private money of the young, not business."

People's emotions were adjusted very quickly. Seeing Wang Tong here talking and discussing good things, and it didn't look like he was trying to grab it. These businessmen were also brave.

"No matter what you shipped in from abroad, it will be huge profits after selling. If you buy cheap goods from Northland, you will definitely have a large amount of gold and silver. If you have not unloaded goods, the goods will not be sold. Of course, there will be no large amount of gold and silver. However, from now on, the next time you sell goods in, if you pay taxes, you will only pay the tax value of the goods with documents when you go out."

"Old and younger people always have to bring some money to deal with them. If you also get these, you will lose too much."

"Each ship can have a tax exemption of 300 taels of silver

When Wang Tongduo answered the question he asked, everyone became more courageous. Someone shouted and said:

"If the older ones brought more gold and silver, wouldn't it be unfair?"

"What is the intention of bringing more gold and silver for no reason? When encountering this kind of thing, I will never charge taxes, but I must be arrested in prison to find out what is going on!"

Wang Tong's voice suddenly increased, and his face became gloomy. This is to immediately open a dye shop for three points of color, and he didn't know the importance of it.

Seeing Wang Tong like this, the people below realized their current situation and stopped talking in disappointment, looked around and everyone became quiet.

Wang Tong's words just now contained a lot of information. After everyone calmed down from panic, they began to think about what Wang Tong said meant. The busyness everywhere was boiling and the noise was extremely noisy. It even better highlighted the quietness here. This time the quiet time was very long, and Wang Tong was not in a hurry. Everyone's reaction meant that everyone was digesting his words at this time.

It has been half an hour since Ma Sanbiao went there. A cavalry rushed back from that direction. He got in front of him and reported:

"Sir, Commander Ma has arrived at the weapons workshop. Let the villain repay the adult, and he has surrounded the other side and never left one."

Wang Tong nodded and said in a solemn voice:

"When you go back, tell Ma Sanbiao to keep it firmly. No matter who is inside and outside the city of Tianjin or who is going to go in, I will stop me, change my horse, and go back quickly."

The cavalry gave a military salute, hurriedly got on his horse and left again, Wang Tong was determined again in his heart

Unexpectedly, Tianjin Haihe set up a fort to set up a checkpoint to collect tariffs, but it was actually a fierce plan. Tianjin Wei was only less than three days away from the capital, but unexpectedly, these people actually did such lawless behavior.

"Master, what you mean just now is that when you enter and exit Tianjin Acropolis, you will get 2 in and out of 100% in the future?

For some reason, the person who was asking was trembling with a trembling voice. Wang Tong nodded with a smile, but then added and said loudly:

"It is naturally the case with ordinary goods, but prohibited goods or huge profits are not included."

"Master, can silk be counted?"

Wang Tong shook his head, and the sounds below came one after another. "Porcelain can be counted as bamboo tools." Wang Tong denied it one by one, and all he asked about were ordinary goods, which was indeed not what he said.

After finally the question was calmed down, the scene was quiet again, and then the commotion began. The boatman and sailor behind were just whispering. However, the bosses and merchants in front showed excitement on their faces, looking at each other, and the voices of conversation became louder and louder. Finally, someone shouted:

"If we pay 20% here, we can go in and sell it, even if the goods are taxed, no one will say that we are smuggling or stolen goods."

Wang Tong replied loudly:

"Of course this is the case. I am so busy working people to build a fort and set up checkpoints. It is naturally a collection for the emperor. If I want it, it would be better to wash you directly!"

This is rude, but after the people below laughed, they all believed that the goods south of the Yangtze River would need to go through four taxes to be sold in Shandong. If they arrived in the capital, they would need to go through seven goods, one cent of goods. The tax they needed to pay when they arrived in the capital was four cents. Not only did the price increase, they would also compete with those southern goods that used canal ships to carry goods and did not have to pay taxes.

For shipping goods at sea, the freight is more than 70% cheaper than the canal transportation, and it is much faster. However, the risk of going to sea is too great. It is good to have six of the ten ships go to sea and go back safely. The pirates and hunches at sea are even more harmful.

Although Jiangnan has the best fertile land in the world, the population is more prosperous, with a small land and a large number of people. Many people go to the city to work. Industry and commerce are the most advanced places in the world and produce a large amount of goods. However, these goods cannot be completely digested in Jiangnan and must be sold to other places.

There are only a few places in the world that are most prosperous and prosperous. The south is naturally Jiangnan and Huguang, and the north is around the capital. Shanxi Jin Shang and Xi'an Prefecture are indeed rich, but they are too far away from the waterway, and they are either limited in scale or extremely scattered.

The goods sold in the south and north are sold to the capital and the northern Zhili prefectures account for almost 60% to 70% of all the total. To sell the capital and surrounding areas, you must come to Tianjin. This node in Tianjin is the most convenient place to go to the capital and the various prefectures and counties in the northern Zhili.

The emperor guarded the border city. The capital was on the northernmost border of the Ming Dynasty. The transportation was quite inconvenient, and the three prefectures intersected. Tianjin, which was a water-by-land converged by land, became the best commercial city in Hebei. The goods were transported to Tianjin, transported to the capital, Baoding Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Ji Town, and locally distributed in Hejian Prefecture. It can also be used to go to Liao Town and Korea by sea and land, and it can also be passed through the Saikou to the grassland, to Shanxi, and to several prefectures north of Henan. It is possible to go to Shaanxi.

Tianjin is almost a must-visit place to sell it to the north, but there are many difficulties. First, Tianjin is not a commercial port, Tianjin City is originally a military port. Even fishing boats are not allowed to enter and exit, and merchant ships should not appear here, so they are charged with smuggling. That is, confiscating all the goods and confiscating them, and they are charged with hunching, and they are probably going to be beheaded.

Although a port was opened in private on Haihe River. However, the loading and unloading fee was high, and the port tap was too heavy. Occasionally, officials came to plunder and extort.

The various expenses and various risks add up, and they go through many difficulties and obstacles at sea. When you come to Tianjin, the benefits you get are only 10% or 20% higher than those when you walk on the canal. If you compare them with the risks, the benefits are almost nothing.

Not everyone has the relationship of being carried through the canal ship, and not everyone has the ability to sell goods to Nanyang and Dongyang.

If you don’t come to Tianjin, if you don’t do this, the funds will not be able to operate, and you will only be stuck at home and lose money. Instead of losing money, it is better to make a small profit here, or even to come here without losing money but can operate the goods.

But if Wang Tong said that collecting 20% ​​of the goods value in official business will avoid the trouble of violating the prohibition law, and 20% of the goods value. Although it is considered a heavy tax, the goods are transported from south to north and the freight is low. The price of goods is only slightly cheaper than that from the canal transport. If you only pay these 20%, you can still make at least 70% of the profit, and at most it can even double or more than double.

What a profit that can earn at least seven taels of silver, or even ten taels of money, twenty taels of money.
