"Several ministers, the ministers, the silk, cloth, wine, salt, iron, paper, tea, oil, ships and other benefits all over the world belong to the business of the southeast. The officials also heard of the officials. However, this matter was not the fault of the officials, but the merits of the officials. The officials were appointed as the commander of the sea route market and the governor of Xiuzhou, and were in charge of various commercial and markets and ports.

If you manage the port of the market well, you will be in the lower-ranking position. If the lower-ranking officials have been in power for several years, where will the commercial market not have a significant increase in household registration, double taxes, the people live in peace, the merchants and the refugees come back, and the education will be successful? As for the commercial market's wealth, the goods are everywhere, and the silk, cloth, wine, salt, iron, paper, tea, oil, ships and other things are all cheap and good, and are loved by the people of the world. It is also the credit of the lower-ranking officials and the commercial officials!

If the household registration of officials elsewhere surges, business and commerce are prosperous, and their products are abundant, isn’t it because of their achievements but because of their mistakes? Please tell me, please tell me clearly!"

Ji Yi, the spokesperson of the bourgeoisie of the Song Dynasty, talked loudly in the Political Affairs Hall, and said it was very polite, which also made Cai Jing, who had originally planned to hold him accountable, speechless.

The four hundred state army of silk, cloth, wine, salt, iron, paper, tea, oil, ships and other commodities sold by Southeast Commercial City are indeed not Ji Yi’s fault. Under the leadership of Ji Yi, Ji Daguan, the Southeast Commercial City is cheap and beautiful in goods and has unprecedented competitiveness. Is it wrong?

We must follow this standard. In the future, the increase in the local population, tax growth, and agricultural product harvest will be the fault of officials. If the people suffer from misfortune, they will make contributions?

Can't this be done?

"But there are four hundred military states in the world. How can all the Southeast merchants and cities benefit from the benefits?" Yu Shen, the Minister of the Secretariat, asked with a frown.

"In fact, it is not the only benefit of the Southeast merchants." Ji Yi said, "Your Majesty should know the theory of Yanshan iron, Tianjin cloth, Changlu salt, Border River boats, and the immortals in wine?"

Ji Yi talked about the flagship products of the Great Zhou Republic's foreign trade, and also sold to the Four Hundred Prefectures Army of the Song Dynasty!

Among them, Yanshan iron is produced from Tieshan, Xuanhua. Selected iron ore and Yanshan charcoal are smelted with a special refractory blast furnace, and then secondary smelting is performed by stir-frying steel or crucible technology to obtain high-quality cracked iron or crucible steel. Only the iron plant in Jingdong City that uses similar technology (using high-quality Liguo Iron ore and Goryeo charcoal) can be compared with it. However, the cost of JD.com is higher than that of Yanshan Iron and more expensive.

Tianjin cloth is cotton cloth. When Mi Youren was in charge of the Hailu Maritime Manufacturing Department, it began to introduce cotton in Cangzhou. To this day, cotton has become one of the main crops in Yandi.

The Agricultural College and Equipment College of Tianjin Yuntai Academy have also taken the design improvement of spinning machines and ginning machines as important topics and issued high bonuses. Some achievements have been made in recent years. Many family spinning workshops and home weaving workshops have also appeared in large quantities in the emerging Dongshi area of ​​Tianjin. The Tianjin cotton cloth produced is not only very high in output, but also very good in quality. Of course, Tianjin's textile industry is still far from the level of the industrial revolution. It is estimated that without a one or two hundred years of development, there will be no industrial revolution...

Changlu salt is a large-scale sea salt! Before Wuhaogu seizure Yan land, the Lutai Salt Field, which is under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou, was a place to produce sea salt. However, at that time, the method of boiling salt was used, which was very costly and the quality of the salt produced was poor. Therefore, after Wuhaogu took over the salt field, he proposed the "salt drying method" and allowed the Yuntai Academy of Natural Sciences to establish a project research. Four years ago, there was a breakthrough and produced high-quality and low-priced "Changlu salt" that was enough to compete with the high-quality salt (cleaner) produced by these salt ores such as green salt and salt detergent.

Of course, the salt merchants in JD.com (Haizhou is also a salt-producing area) quickly copied the salt drying method. The Haizhou salt produced was enough to compete with Changlu salt. After Cai Jing implemented the money-induction method, Changlu salt and Haizhou salt were rampant in the Song Dynasty, defeating the well salt, pond salt and sea salt elsewhere!

As for the boundary river boats, it goes without saying that they are definitely the highest level! Only Quanzhou shipbuilding industry, which absorbs the Persian shipbuilding technology, can compete with it.

The brewing industry in Tianjin is also extremely developed. In addition to high-purity distilled liquor, ordinary soju (referring to low-alcohol liquor that can be heated and consumed), fruit wine has also developed very well.

Of course, after the reform of money, a large number of wineries appeared in JD.com (original Song Dynasty implemented wine control and brewing control, but after the reform of money, you only need to use money to attract purchases), and the brewed wines were also sold all over the world.

By the way, the manufacturing industry in East Asia and Southeast Asia is not the only one in the Great Zhou Republic. It will never last long, and competition can continue to improve!

The competition for the Dazhou manufacturing industry with Tianjin as the core is the Dasong Southeast Manufacturing Industry with Jingdong Commercial City, Shanghai Commercial City, Mingzhou Commercial City, Quanzhou Commercial City and Guangzhou Commercial City as the core.

The manufacturing industry in Southeast China has always been awesome. From the Song Dynasty to the Industrial Revolution, it was one of the best in the world. Of course, it was impossible for Tianjin, built by Wu Haogu, to capture them all in one place.

Moreover, the rise of industry and commerce in Tianjin actually constitutes a healthy competition for the Southeast merchants. The Southeast merchants are also imitators of Tianjin. With their unique conditions, they have absorbed the experience and technology of Tianjin, and have the blessing of "rational" universities. They have also benefited a lot from the era of voyage that has arrived early.

In addition, Tianjin is also the de facto umbrella of Southeast merchants...

Ji Yi brought Tianjin out, and the priests and priests present were speechless.

If they don’t let the Southeast market make money, wouldn’t Tianjin benefit alone?

As for excluding Zhou State from the Song Dynasty market... it will definitely trigger the Great Zhou Republic's army to move south!

"Why don't you add more taxes to the Southeast merchants and markets!" He Zhizhong said, "The loss of the four hundred prefectures troops on the Southeast merchants and markets."

Due to the impact of handicraft products in Southeast merchant cities and Tianjin, especially key commodities such as salt, iron, cloth, silk, and wine, the production of related products in the mainland of the Song Dynasty has also affected the relevant taxes. Not only are the commercial taxes in various places, but also the summer taxes, agricultural instrument taxes, cattle and leather horn taxes, and exemption money based on money, all of which have difficulty in collecting due to the decrease in the income of farmers.

The reason for the decrease in farmers' income is mainly because the textile industry in Southeast and Yandi is developing too strongly, which has impacted the traditional small peasant economy of men and women.

Now, in the southeast and Yan land, one has changed a large area of ​​rice to mulberry, and the other is changed to wheat to cotton.

Both sides are large-scale farms and textile industry that have initially formed an industry (although it is mainly a family workshop, the competitiveness of weaving households is much stronger than that of men and women), and the high-level printing and dyeing industry has completely overwhelmed rural local fabric production.

Therefore, the local cloth and silk produced by peasants from all over the Song Dynasty could only be used at home or sold at low prices, and the income of farmers was greatly affected. Naturally, they could not bear the summer tax that mainly collected money.

"The southeastern merchants should increase taxes!" Ji Yi smiled, "But we can't fish out of the water! Because we can increase taxes in the southeast, but what about taxes in the Zhou Kingdom? Our commercial taxes are too much, and merchants all go to Zhou Kingdom. Who should the court ask to collect money?"

He carried Zhou State out again...

"Or, let's add the tax on the southeast!" Tong Guan interrupted, "Didn't it mean that there are millions of acres of rice in the southeast to mulberry? The income from mulberry fields is higher than that of rice fields, and the tax on the field should be collected a little more."

The land tax in the Song Dynasty was originally linked to the crops grown. The income of mulberry fields was several times that of rice fields, so of course the tax was increased.

But... Tong Guan was a eunuch from a citizen and didn't know much about the situation in the southeastern countryside.

Ji Yi just smiled: "Haha..."

The other few ministers of the priests did not say anything. In the end, Cai Jing shook his head: "Let's forget it... Those who changed rice to mulberry are all big farmers. Who dares not to grow grain? What should I do if a hundred kinds of grains are starved to death? If the imperial court adds taxes to the southeast, I am afraid that the ordinary farmers will still pay more taxes in the end!"

This matter is simply impossible! Once the court proposed it, the censors and ministers below should make a fuss - the southeastern coast of the Song Dynasty was rich in Jinshi!

Moreover, the land tax in the southeast is already high, higher than other parts of the Song Dynasty. It is unreasonable to add tuition...

"This matter will be discussed later," Cai Jing paused, "Reminiscing that the official family is preparing to practice feudalism in Jiaozhi, and the eighth prince will serve as the king of Jiaozhi. You are the prime minister, the royal government, and the affairs of the Nanyang Protectorate... What do you think?"

What else can it be done? Ji Yi smiled bitterly. If you don’t go to Jiaozhi, you will be lost even if you don’t want to go to Nanyang Captain...

"In the matter of Jiaozhi, the officials must do their best." Ji Yi said, "It is only very important that the establishment of the Hailu Maritime Marketing Department is. If the person is selected improperly and the merchants and people in the southeast return to the Zhou Kingdom, there will be danger of the collapse of the country!"

Cai Jing smiled: "The son Cai You of the dog will go to Haizhou to take over as the Maritime Transportation Department. In addition, the imperial court will also set up a coastal system department to be in charge of maritime military affairs."

The "super yamen" of Hailu Maritime Control Department is now time to disintegrate.

According to the agreement reached by Cai Jing and Su Chi, maritime affairs will be divided into two ways: "transfer" and "control", the former is financial management and the latter is military management.

Both yamen will place the capital in Haizhou, and the Hailu Commander will also be the governor of Haizhou.

"Cai Anju went to take over the sea transportation," Ji Yi continued, "but sea defense should not be taken lightly... I wonder who the two governments want to belong to?"

Su Chi said: "Zhang Jizhong will go to Haizhou to take over."

Zhang Shuye will serve as the first sea route commander. Needless to say, letting him take over sea route defense is targeting Zhou Navy.

Ji Yi thought to himself: Cai Jing and Su Chi must have thought that I was too tolerant of the Zhou Navy... It seems that I have to suffer a little to realize that it is amazing!

When he was about to further inquire about the authority of the Nanyang Protectorate, a Guanmu official from the Privy Council walked in quickly, muttered a few words in Su Chi's ear, and then gave him a document, and then left quickly.
Chapter completed!
