Chapter 794 The Rise of Maritime Trade(2/2)

The tax payment voucher was specially made and marked with the type and quantity of the taxed goods. It also specifically stated that merchants could use the tax payment voucher to enter the seaports under the jurisdiction of the Ming Governor's Palace and seek help from the navy.

Seeing that Fu Yong and others were so unhesitating, other merchants began to make plans to take action after asking about the rules and rights of the Shipping Department.

When they also wanted to go to sea for trade, they discovered that there were no ships. The Ming Dynasty had banned the sea for more than ten years, and the craftsmen who could build ships among the people had long since starved to death. Now the only person in the entire Ming Dynasty who can build large ships is Longjiang of the imperial court.

Bao Shipyard and several other shipyards.

You can't go to sea without a boat, but if you want a boat, you have to buy one from the court.

Suddenly, countless wealthy businessmen and merchants crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Those with connections sought help from the Duke and Marquis, and those with friendships spoke to the ministers of the DPRK. Those who really had no connections or friendships simply found Handu here.

"You said you want to buy a navy warship?"

"Yes, yes, please give me a favor, Lord Marquis." Huang Yuanwai, who had just bought Fu Yong's spices, stood in front of Han Du and kept nodding and bowing.

It can be said that Huang Yuanwai is also very powerful. He just spent a lot of money to buy Fu Yong's spices, and now he is still not satisfied and has decided to go to sea trade.

He also heard about Han Du's personality from Fu Yong, so he came to inquire about it just in case.

Han Du pondered for a while, these people naturally want to go out to sea to trade when buying ships. The more goods they send to sea, the more sea trade taxes they can receive. The benefits to themselves are naturally obvious.

"Warships are weapons after all, and I don't dare to sell them to you on my own initiative. However, I can ask the emperor to see if he approves it. If he approves it, then it's natural for you to want to buy the ship."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Well, just wait. I will enter the palace immediately and ask to see the emperor."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenhai wants to see you." The old eunuch walked softly to Lao Zhu's ear and said.

"Well, Xuan." Lao Zhu's eyes were always on the memorial without raising his head.

"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty."

"No need," Lao Zhu said casually. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Han Du and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
