In Jiangxi, many merchant ships were requisitioned to transport soldiers and food to the predetermined location.
Although these requisitioned merchant ships are not paid, they can receive a tax stamp. According to the cargo capacity of the ship, there are 20 tax discounts when passing through Jiujiang Chaoguan.
What's more, you can change any ship to pass the customs, and the customs officials will only recognize the tax sticker.
The merchants are very satisfied with this. They have always requisitioned civilians and merchant ships in wars. Even if Zhao Han didn't give them anything, they didn't dare to say anything. The toll discount card is already pretty good.
That is a real discount, even if you don't use it yourself, you can resell it to other merchants.
This approach was done once last year.
Merchants from other places were amazed by this. After returning to their hometown, they even took the initiative to publicize, saying that Zhao Tianwang was very kind to the merchants.

Must be resolved quickly!
At the end of May, Nanchang had become a traffic station. Except for the Huguang army, several other armies had to pass through here, and countless grains and grass had to be requisitioned by merchant ships to transport them.
Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and Huang Zongxi were directly thrown in Nanchang because the navy was going to fight.
The riverside is full of boats, and the river is full of boats, and there are countless coolies carrying supplies at the pier.
The three celebrities were walking on the pier, and the situation in front of them was somewhat beyond their expectations.
"Jiangxi soldiers will win this battle," Wu Yingji said with emotion. "In such a big war, no one panicked, and no one complained. Hawkers took advantage of the opportunity to do business, coolies can also move goods to make money, and merchants are even more moved. The officials who go out to work in the city also have happy faces, and fighting means that they can be promoted."
"Wars here don't seem to disturb the people," Gu Gao said, "I see that the civilian men who have been recruited seem to be very happy."
Huang Zongxi said: "I asked someone for a few words just now. The civilian husbands of the Datong Army have changed their system since last year. There is no salary, only monthly rations, and there is no compulsory recruitment. They sign up voluntarily."
Gu Gao was quite puzzled: "It's just that there are still people who sign up for the meal?"
Huang Zongxi explained: "Children under the age of 12 cannot divide the land. Among the land occupied by Zhao Zhuochen, some children have already reached the age of 12, but because of this reason, they have no land. You can get a field in your hometown. Even if you are under the age of twelve, you can reserve it first, and you are old enough to divide the field immediately."
"No wonder those peasants are so active in fighting with only rations." Wu Yingji sighed.
"Is there so much land in Jiangxi that can be divided?" Gu Gao asked.
Huang Zongxi explained: "Jiangxi has been immigrating abroad to enrich the population of war-torn areas. Every time a new land is occupied, after Jiangxi immigrates, some land can be vacated in the hometown, which happens to be distributed to the children of those peasant husbands. Also, some women After getting married, the land remains in her natal family, and there is no land under her name. As long as the husband becomes a civil husband, the woman who lost the land can regain the land."
Wu Yingji said with emotion: "This series of land administration is indeed very powerful. Farming wars, farming wars, the ancients are sincere and do not deceive me!"
Gu Gao muttered to himself: "In Ming Dynasty, everyone is afraid of war. On the other hand, under Zhao Zhuochen's command, officials, generals, soldiers, vagrants, merchants, and farmers are all looking forward to war."
?Pure people are also filthy, and the Donglin Party is naturally no exception.
? In the beginning, there was no such thing as the Qichuzhe Party and the Donglin Party, and they fought each other. After deduction and deduction, I believed it, so I really went to form a party. Many officials who help to speak are also classified as a certain party. As long as they talk and do things, they will be classified as a certain party.
Then you don¡¯t know right from wrong, no matter how bad someone in our party is, you will keep it, and no matter how good someone in your party is, you will kill him!
Only by completely controlling the court can one govern the country according to one's own ideas.
?The first is the dispute between the cabinet and the ministries. Both the cabinet and the six ministries want to take power, and the power of the prime minister and the power of the ministries are the core of the party struggle. The second is the cabinet and the Ministry of Education. The power of Prime Minister and the power of supervision are mutually used, and at the same time they are in the same situation.
In the end, the Ministry of Officials and the Jingcha became a vortex of struggle for the power of prime minister, ministerial power, and supervisory power.
However, the imperial power is high above, it is not so much being emptied, it is better to say that the imperial power has lost control of the authorities, because party struggles have messed up the central agencies.
Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to form a party in Jiangxi?"
"Don't dare." Gu Gao quickly denied.
"Don't dare, or don't want to?" Zhao Han asked.
Gu Gao explained: "It's not necessary."
Zhao Han smiled and asked, "Why is it not necessary?"
Gu Gao replied: "Whether it is the Donglin Party or the Fushe, the purpose is to expel traitors, select talents and make use of them, and strive to govern. But Jiangxi is already under great rule, and the Donglin Party members and Fushe scholars have come to Jiangxi. What reason is there to form a party? The reason for forming a party no longer exists."
"If you want to be an official in Jiangxi, you must leave the Fushe!" Zhao Han directly expressed his attitude.
When Gu Gao boarded the ship in Nanjing, he only said that he came to Jiangxi to observe politics, but he did not admit that he wanted to be an official in Jiangxi. But at this moment, he made a promise on the spot: "Someone is willing to leave Fushe."
Zhao Han smiled and asked Huang Zongxi, "Where is your Excellency?"
Without saying a word, Huang Zongxi handed over the article called "Yuan Jun".
