There are many people coming and going on the dock, and there are many goods and vehicles.
Liu Mingqi specially went to get a list to see what the merchants were buying and selling.
Dakang¡¯s top exports are always the three giants - porcelain, silk and tea.
In order to increase revenue for the Dakang Dynasty ahem, well, it was to increase some small treasury for the emperor. Liu Mingqi once saw the Dakang taxes and taxes in the palace over the years.
Dakang¡¯s taxes are divided into two categories.

Taxes
The land tax is easy to understand, it means grain, whether it is rice or wheat.
The average harvest in summer and autumn is 80 million dan.
Taxes refer to various taxes, including salt tax, commercial tax, water transportation tax, maritime trade tax, porcelain tax, silk tax, tea tax and so on.
The total tax amount in a normal year is 96 million taels.
It involves five million taels of tea, five million taels of porcelain, seven million taels of silk, three million taels of tung oil, and three million taels of raw silk.
Of course, this is the total trade volume. Excluding the small part inland, the tax on goods sent overseas totals about 15 million taels.
Dakang¡¯s business tax is generally one out of ten.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
The children of the clan are taxed according to different levels, ranging from thirty to fifty.
With such a low tax rate, if you can receive a tax of 15 million taels of silver a year, then the trade volume for at least one year will be as high as 2300 million taels of silver.
What a terrifying number this is?
At the same time, it also shows how developed Dakang¡¯s maritime trade is!
This does not include the annual maritime trade tax, which is the fee paid by foreign merchants and domestic merchants for the goods they carry after their ships return to the port.
Generally speaking, after excluding all expenses, 15 million taels of pure tax paid to the Ministry of Household Affairs a year is already very impressive.
During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the average annual tax was no more than five million taels, and the lowest was only more than three million taels a year.
With such a finance, how can you support the expenses of the entire country?
It is precisely because of the money that Dakang can manage the country so well and survive the crazy natural disasters in recent years.
Come back to the front.
¡°It is not only Dakang¡¯s merchant ships that transport tea, silk, porcelain and other commodities from Dakang, there are also many overseas merchant ships.
Liu Mingqi noticed that they were usually not two ships per ship, but at least three or five ships together.
¡°What should we do if these ships encounter pirates?¡± Liu Mingqi asked.
Dai Feiying replied, ¡°If they come once, they will bring hundreds of strong and powerful guards, and with several ships together, they have at least one or two thousand people, which can directly crush small and medium-sized pirates.
Those big pirates don't want to fight with them, so every time they encounter them, they can buy a way with at most five hundred to one thousand taels of silver, and then they can pass.
But they are not good people either. Many times when they encounter a lone cargo ship, they will turn into pirates and rob them. It can be said that they are doing business and being pirates at the same time. "
Liu Mingqi asked again, "Where is our fleet?"
"Our fleet is more united. As for the ocean defense line, every route has a fixed time for everyone to go out together." Dai Feiying said, "Because of the huge momentum, we did not encounter any pirates.
But on the offshore side, such as Japan, Baekje, and Shiwei, pirates are often encountered, but most of them don't like to kill them all, they just want to collect passing money. "
"Didn't the Northern Navy go to destroy them?"
"I've been there many times, but I only captured some soldiers and generals. For example, the three largest pirates, Guitou, Tengu, and Kunyu, all avoided conflict with the northern navy." Dai Feiying said: "This The three pirates are really powerful. These fleets from the South, East and West were attacked many times by them, and for a period of time they suffered heavy losses. Later, they were smart enough to pay money every time, and then went back and forth as a group. Over time, they The poop is not that miserable anymore.¡±
"To put it bluntly, isn't it because the Northern Navy didn't do anything?" Gong Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Many people on my side have long complained about them. They are lazy, stupid and stupid, and they only know how to defend their own territory. We dare not go out to destroy large-scale pirates."
¡°As long as there is maritime trade, there will be pirates!¡± Liu Mingqi disapproved.Are you trying to be polite?
It doesn¡¯t matter if people are polite, it doesn¡¯t matter if they say this is the country, because he is a prince, and it is said that he is the future Zongzheng, who can do anything to him?
Is it possible to say that Prince De is going to betray the Liu family¡¯s own empire?
Liu Mingqi smiled when he heard this and said: "Who doesn't know? Jiangnan has been exporting non-stop these years, and has been using his own money to support and support half of the empire's people, which has made their taxes here very high and the prices of various goods It¡¯s also high, and people¡¯s quality of life is not high. It¡¯s strange that there are no complaints in this situation!
Liu Renhuai is much smarter than me, doesn¡¯t he know? Of course he knows! It's just that in his position, there is no way to do more. He can only mistreat the people of Jiangnan and help people in other provinces.
¡°It¡¯s just that the people need more relief, rather than blindly cajoling and suppressing them. Otherwise, even if the Jiangnan people are as weak as chickens, it will still be troublesome to cause trouble! It triggered a big purge, and the estrangement between the two parties became deeper! "
Now even Gong Yuan couldn't answer Liu Mingqi's words.
Because what he said was too straightforward and too sharp.
"Explain clearly and clearly the thoughts of Jiangnan people and Liu Renhuai."
There is no veil of tenderness left at all.
On the contrary, now Dai Feiying interjected: "Then what do you think, my lord, how to solve this problem?"
He clearly remembered that Liu Mingqi was known as a "sage".
Since Liu Mingqi can see so clearly, he must have more and more detailed thoughts, which may be able to give everyone a lot of inspiration.
Liu Mingqi said without thinking: "It's very simple. Develop the economies of other provinces so that their respective specialties can be produced better and sell more. When you become rich, you will naturally be less dependent on Jiangnan." .
Jiangnan exports less to the outside world, and keeps more taxes and expenditures in Jiangnan to build roads for everyone, open more workshops and factories, increase some job opportunities, so that everyone can make money, and buy cheap food from other provinces. , lowering food prices, this is happiness! "
Dai Feiying smiled: "It's easy for you to say, but it is very difficult to implement. I don't know how many years it will take for it to happen."
"It won't be long"
Liu Mingqi said something, but didn¡¯t mention it any more.
Although Jiangnan is the richest, there are still many poor people here.
The poor people pay quite a lot for all kinds of taxes in Dakang.
¡°It¡¯s just that there are many opportunities to make money here, so they can barely live a decent life.
There are also those big landowners and big businessmen who are usually kinder to the fellow villagers in their hometowns.
¡°For example, they often do things like building bridges and paving roads, doing water conservancy construction, reducing or reducing rent, etc.
¡°After all, the people in Jiangnan are open and open, and the literati are particularly nosy. These rich people don¡¯t want to be poked in the back because of these small money, saying that they don¡¯t even care about their fellow villagers, so who do they think they are?
I have to say that these ancient literati were very cute when they acted as "trolls".
Most of them are purer than modern people. Once the modern big microcosms become famous, they will immediately choose to cash out and start joining the ranks of the evil dragons.
But many literati in ancient times were not like this.
Gong Yuan was next to Liu Mingqi. From beginning to end, he dared to curse, speak out for the people, and denounced all kinds of inequality.
?????????????? People like this are still protected by the government, how can businessmen and landlords dare to target them?
Would you like to try touching them?
The Legalists will definitely fight you to the death!
Even so, introducing sweet potatoes to Jiangnan is one of Liu Mingqi¡¯s most important tasks in recent years!
The sweet potato is truly a sacred thing.
Once it is planted in most places across the country and adapts to the local environment, a super harvest will be available in two to three years.
With Dakang¡¯s emphasis on agriculture and this population structure, it is completely possible for more than 90% of families to have enough to eat every day.
The same goes for the people in Jiangnan. After tasting the sweetness of sweet potatoes, as long as they can have a full stomach, what else do they have to complain about?
The same is true in modern times!
The law of true fragrance exists in any era.
