Number of romantic figures

Chapter 590 The perfect level of the T-shaped scroll determines future power
Feng Ziying knew that her remarks had a great impact on this group of people, especially that some Fujian maritime merchants actually had extremely close ties with many Chinese in Nanyang, or they themselves were their neighbors or even relatives.

As soon as I came out with this opinion, it meant that these criminals who had left their hometowns and were not recognized by the court, and were even regarded as fleeing abroad, might get a statement of emigration, from illegal to legal, and then return to Dazhouzi civil.

This is undoubtedly great news for the Chinese who have settled down and relocated. Once they are forced to make a living, the place they moved to is brought under the jurisdiction of the court. The branch ancestral hall was built to the current overseas place.

"Okay, everyone, I know that some of my words just now may surprise everyone, but the opening of the sea is unprecedented, have you thought about it?" Feng Ziying said leisurely: "Now the court will not stick to Instead, try to change many unreasonable practices in the past, as long as it is beneficial to the court."

This is the truth, such a swift strategy to open the sea, and even reformed the scope of duties of the Zhongshu Department specifically for this purpose, and it is dedicated to the implementation of the sea, which shows the determination of the court.

These people all had a background in the imperial court, and they got the news as soon as the Zhongshu Division was reinstated, and most of them knew the relationship between Guan Yingzhen and the person in front of them.

The other party dared to make such unscrupulous decisions on things that they didn't even dare to think about before. Naturally, they also had confidence. Thinking of this, many people were relieved.

"If there is anyone who is not clear about this matter, or thinks that it is necessary to understand and discuss it in detail, well, you can post it down. If the time is available, I can discuss with you and introduce the specific approach, but Today is not the time to discuss this matter, we have more important things.”

Feng Ziying brought the topic back, and began to introduce the scope of maritime trade concessions, quotas in various places, concession time, amount, and ways to discuss the increase of quotas in the future.

At this time, no one interrupted, they all listened attentively and pondered carefully.

After all, this involves the specific interests of each family, and it is often calculated in tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"...according to the statistics of the imperial court and the direct reports of the three provinces, as well as the self-reporting of each company, the Zhongshu Division has initially made a reservation. The ratio will be determined according to 1:2:3:4, and the total number of households is initially set at [-] households. If it is necessary to increase due to special reasons, it must be reported to the Zhongshu Division and the Ministry of Households for negotiation, but in principle it will not increase. The next round of quota increase will be discussed at this time next year. In principle, the increase ratio will not exceed [-]% of the actual number of households in this year. By analogy, it will be discussed every year. If it is necessary to exceed this ratio, it must be approved by the Zhongshu Department. , and with the consent of more than half of the original number of merchants,..."

This formulation caused a sensation among the crowd.

What these people are most worried about is the amount agreed this year. Next year, the imperial court will suddenly increase dozens of households in order to collect more royalties, and the price of royalties may even drop. Then everyone will be taken advantage of this year.

Now, the author actually proposes that when the imperial court increases the number of households beyond the specified percentage, it must obtain the consent of more than half of the original merchants that have obtained the maritime trade franchise, otherwise the regulations cannot be broken.

This is really a new thing. When did the imperial court require the consent of merchants to determine the rules?
"Master Feng, Caomin has a question to ask,..."

"My lord, Caomin also wants to ask, this..."

Several people stood up almost at the same time, probably because they couldn't bear it anymore.

"Everyone, please sit down. I have already guessed your questions. Isn't it the last one, which requires the consent of more than half of the original merchants to break the rules?"

Feng Ziying didn't need to think about why these people were so excited. This was too exciting for them, and his purpose was to cultivate the habit of these merchants daring to make agreements with the government and demand performance.

"That's right, that's how it is. In the future, I will write this point into the regulations. If this agreement is not obtained, sea trade merchants, um, I suggest that sea trade merchants can set up a guild organization in the future as an internal discussion." An institution that studies maritime trade-related affairs is like a guild hall, and at the same time, when the government needs to communicate with you in the future, it can better represent the entire group..." Feng Ziying added: "Without the consent of more than half of the existing maritime merchants, Then the number of newly added households shall not exceed the original regulations,..."

Feng Ziying reiterated in a straight voice, which made everyone excited inexplicably.

This means that they, that is, maritime merchants, will be able to conduct dialogues and negotiations with the government as a group on certain issues in the future, which is an unprecedented initiative.

Awareness of rights and obligations, and awareness of contract, these things need to be cultivated slowly, and cannot be accomplished overnight, and may even take decades or even hundreds of years to slowly form on this land.

Feng Ziying tried to instill some seeds in the minds of these pioneers as soon as possible, so that they can germinate under suitable conditions.

Jia Lian and Duan Xigui sitting on the side were also shocked by Feng Ziying's many opinions.

Before, they only saw some content in the booklet, but they didn't fully understand the meaning represented or covered by many specific content. Only when Feng Ziying explained in such detail and answered the other party's questions directly, did they truly understand. Understand the meaning here.

But even so, whether it was Jia Lian, Duan Xigui, or the sea merchants present, they still failed to truly understand the true meaning of this meeting, so that it took many years to slowly taste the true meaning of it.

The meeting lasted until two minutes before it was over.

It was too enthusiastic. Facing such a rare opportunity, the businessmen from the three places wanted to ask all the questions they had in their stomachs, and some questions even exceeded Feng Ziying's imagination.

Lying on the easy chair, Feng Ziying took the Jianlian jujube soup from Zijuan, took a big sip, felt that it was not satisfying, drank it all in one gulp, then took Yu Chuaner and handed over a hot towel to wipe it off for a while. Turning his face away, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Master still needs to pay attention to his body. Don't get sick from exhaustion after working so hard." Zijuan took the bowl with concern, and asked again: "What else do you need to eat?"

"I'm too hungry, I don't have much appetite, Zijuan, go and bring over two plates of tea fruit from your girl's side, after Lian's second brother and cousin finish delivering the guests, they have to come over , They are all untouched, and they are probably starving." Feng Ziying pondered for a while, "Let Ruixiang invite Wenyan over."

If I knew it earlier, I would have brought Jin Chuaner, Yunshang, and Xiangling. At this time, Feng Ziying realized that it is inconvenient to work here. There are not many caring people. inconvenient.

When Wang Wenyan arrived, Jia Lian and Duan Xigui had just sent the guests away and returned to the flower hall in the second courtyard.

Zicuckoo has already brought up the tea fruit and tea.

Jia Lian was better, after all, Zijuan was by the old lady's side, and he also watched her grow up, but Wang Wenyan and Duan Xigui did not dare to neglect, and thanked them politely.

This one is not only Miss Lin's personal maid, but there is a high probability that Feng Ziying will take over her house and become a concubine in the future.

"Second brother Lian, cousin, how do you feel?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

If there is no one around, then Liao Hua, who has no general in Sichuan, can only be the vanguard.

However, today Jia Lian and Duan Xigui performed well, and they were able to handle the heat properly, neither arrogant nor servile, all in all they maintained their dignity.

"I still can't bear it anymore. Well, we have read this article, and we understand the general meaning, but when it comes to some specific details, we are a little uncertain. For example, since this is a rule set by the court, why do we have to ask for their permission?" agree?"

Jia Lian is not stupid, years of experience may not be so far-sighted in terms of vision, but these are obviously not in line with common sense, he thinks there must be a reason.

Feng Ziying smiled slightly and glanced at Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan understood the meaning and nodded: "Master Jia, this is the first time to collect a franchise fee. Before your Excellency leaves, the court princes also have tasks for you, but these businessmen are not stupid. Naturally, they want to get this franchise fee. In the future, the number of households, the amount of royalties and the number of years, and the number of new households are naturally closely related. If they want to be willing to pay the money this time, and to ensure that it is in place at one time, there must be a guarantee,..."

Jia Lian seemed to understand, but he probably understood that he wanted to collect enough money this time, and this was to be explained to the court, and there should be no mistakes.

In fact, Wang Wenyan may not be clear about the other meaning behind this.

"The franchise fee must be guaranteed. Trilateral military affairs and the restoration of Shazhou and Hami are very much needed. In addition, Liaodong and Xuanda also need considerable supplies. This money is to fill this hole." Feng Ziying did not hide a few people, "and The proceeds from the debt were used to build a naval fleet with Denglai and Liaonan Coast Defense,..."

The money had already been distributed before he got it, Feng Ziying was also very helpless, but if not, what qualifications did he have to handle such a big matter, didn't he just think that he could get back the money for the court?
If he wanted to gain more and greater power in the future, then this time he had to do it beautifully, leaving people speechless and even exceeding their expectations.

"Cousin, based on a preliminary estimate, how much can you receive?"

Wang Wenyan and Jia Lian's ears perked up at this sentence, Duan Xigui's calculation ability is outstanding, after several years of arithmetic practice, his mental arithmetic ability ranks first in this world.
