Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

The sea is humid and the temperature is high.

Coupled with the poor medical conditions on board, the man didn't pay much attention, so he just wrapped it with a piece of cloth.

Naturally, the wound became infected, and then a fever appeared.

When this happens, other people on board are naturally very anxious.

After all, it took two or three months to go back and forth, and there was no one else in the vast sea, so everyone could only chat with each other.

After going back and forth, everyone's relationship is also very good.

Everyone has also seen his condition. If he is not treated early, he will definitely die.

So in the next few days, we sailed with full sail, day and night, and finally returned to the Shanghai City Wharf at the fastest speed.

That's why they came back first.

The situation has deteriorated even more in the past few days. They were already desperate, but they didn't expect hope to appear.

Li Ke is like a light in the darkness, directly bringing hope to them!

"It should be fine in a few days."

Li Ke nodded and said something to them.

At the same time, I was also thinking in my heart that in the future, apart from learning various navigation knowledge, the students of the Nautical Academy will also have to learn some necessary first aid methods.

Injuries on the sea also happen from time to time. If they cannot be dealt with in time, it is very likely that they will lose their lives.

For example, if the crew member just now was injured, if someone quickly cleaned his wound and carefully bandaged it, such a dangerous situation would never occur.

At this time, the staff of Shanghai Customs also came here.

"See Your Highness!"

They first saluted Li Ke.

"This is the first tariff payment. I hope you will calculate it clearly so that there will be no wrong account!"

Li Ke gave them instructions in a very serious tone.

In the future, there will be a large number of merchant ships entering and leaving the customs every day, and there will be a lot of import and export taxes.

This account must be calculated accurately, if there is a mistake, it will be a huge loss.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

They also looked solemn, and then began to let the merchant unload the goods.

The businessman also knew that he had to pay import tax, so he was not surprised, so he immediately asked someone to help unload the goods at the dock.

Now both Jianggang Wharf and Haigang Wharf have many people who come to work as dock workers. An industrial chain has been formed, which has solved the employment of many people.

Many people were quickly found, and the goods and gold and silver on the ship were moved down.

We don't know the specific value of those goods, but the gold and silver items alone shocked the workers!

This is the first time in their life that they have seen so much gold and silver!

Even the staff of the customs were slightly taken aback, apparently they did not expect that there would be so much gold and silver in this trip!

After counting, it was found that there were a total of 15 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver!

15 taels of gold is 1.5 guan, and 1 taels of silver is 1 guan!

In other words, just the gold and silver part is as high as 2.5 guan!

And that doesn't even include those goods.

Then he took stock of those goods and assigned them according to the market price in Suzhou.

In the end, it was calculated that the value of this batch of goods reached about 1 guan!

In other words, in just three months, this ship went out for a trip and brought back a wealth of up to 3.5 guan!

You must know that this businessman is not considered a big shopkeeper in Yangzhou and Suzhou. Before, he even bought the agency right with others.

But just this trip brought back 3.5 guan of wealth!

Compared with the cost of the shipment of goods he brought out, the 3.5 yuan is not enough at all, it is almost negligible!

In other words, the money earned during this trip may be equivalent to the money of shopkeeper Chen in Yangzhou and shopkeeper Zhang in Suzhou for a year!

This number not only surprised the customs staff, but also shocked some people watching the excitement.

Some workers or ordinary people may be simply shocked.

But there are many businessmen who come here to inquire about news, and there are all over the place.

They were buying goods in Yangzhou City, and when they heard that the first merchant ship had returned, they immediately ran over to see how the overseas trade was doing.

As a result, they saw gold and silver all over the floor, as well as crates of incomparably valuable goods.

Especially after the customs calculation, the high value of 3.5 guan also caused a huge shock to their hearts.

They have decided in their hearts that they will buy a big boat and go to sea next time!

After all, it may take them several years or even ten years to earn the money earned by going to sea!

This benefit is too attractive.

After hearing this number, the treasurer of the merchant ship couldn't help but stroked his beard proudly.

This figure is similar to what he calculated, and the profit is also very high.

Gold and silver are gross profits, and after taxes are paid, they are pure profits.

And those goods that are worth tens of thousands of guan are also relatively popular in Datang. They only need to be transported to Chang'an City and Luoyang City to sell, and they can be sold for far more than [-] guan.

It should be known that these valued Wanguan refers to the Wanguan value assigned by the customs according to the market value in Suzhou.

They bought these things from overseas, but they didn't spend so much money!

They bought a ship full of goods for very little money.

Next, as long as it is sold out, the final total sold may be more than 1 guan!

Just thinking about the profit made him excited.

This time, he conservatively estimated that he earned at least 3 yuan!

This is the money he could earn at least 5 years of hard work before, but now he earns it after three months of going to sea.

Hearing this number, Li Ke also showed a deep smile on his face.

It seems that the huge profits of overseas trade in this era are still beyond his imagination.

Thinking about it, these new products he created in Datang are too attractive to overseas countries.

Now that the calculations are clear, it is time to start charging tariffs in proportion.

"Gold and silver are worth 2.5 guan. According to the 30% import tariff, 75 guan should be charged!"

"The value of the product is 1 guan. According to the 20% import tariff, 2 guan should be charged!"

"This time, a total of 95 import duties should be collected!"

The customs staff issued an import tariff bill on the spot, and then handed it over to the merchant.

"Go to the bank and transfer the money."

Facing the import tariff as high as 95 per cent, although the businessman was reluctant, he still went to the bank to transfer money honestly.

After all, the matter of import and export tariffs was agreed before going to sea, and they all signed an agreement.

So after returning now, it is natural to follow the rules.

Besides, Li Ke was staring at him at the scene!

If he dared to refuse to pay the tariff in front of Li Ke, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Li Ke?

Then he can guarantee that all the harvest of his ship will belong to the Shanghai city government.

As for himself?

He should accidentally fall into the sea and drown within today.

Seeing this scene, a smile flashed across Li Ke's eyes.

The reason why he came to the scene in person was also to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Everything needs a good start. If there is a problem with the first tariff, then the Shanghai city he spent so much time building, the two ports and the train line, wouldn’t it be in vain?

Many people around were shocked when they heard that just one import tariff was as high as 95 guan!

This figure is something that many people will never earn in their lifetime, but they have reached this figure with just one tax payment!

Those businessmen were also taken aback by this figure. After all, the 95% tax is too high.

However, everyone thought about it and found that even after paying the 95 guan, the final profit of the shopkeeper might still reach 3 guan.

And this is still a figure that will take them several years or even ten years to earn!

Therefore, although the tariff is high, they still earn more.

The shopkeeper and the customs went to the bank to transfer money together. In order to facilitate trade, Shanghai City also opened a super-large bank, which is even bigger than the Yangzhou and Suzhou branches!

Li Ke, on the other hand, was expecting that just one merchant ship had paid 95% of import duties.

You know, the first batch to go to sea has a full 6 merchant ships!

PS: Second more! .

Chapter 346 The merchants all want to go to sea!A large number of merchant ships are back!

Even if not every ship can achieve such a huge harvest like this ship.

But since they have brought such a best-selling product of Datang to the sea, with their ability, even if it is less, it will not be much less.

There are even powerful businessmen who can bring back even greater gains.

Therefore, Li Ke already had an estimate in his heart, the number of the first batch of import tariffs may greatly exceed his previous expectations!

After paying the tax, the customs gave the businessman a tax invoice, and then the goods can leave the port.

When the businessman first came from the bank, he informed the bank that there was a large amount of money to be deposited, so the bank sent some escort troops to help transport the 15 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver to the bank.

After that, he deposited 2.5 cash in the merchant's passbook.

After depositing the gold and silver in the bank, the businessman also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if such a large amount of wealth is not stored in the bank, the risk is still quite ~ big.

At the same time, because I made a lot of profit this time, and I cooperated with the captain and crew on the ship - it was very pleasant to cooperate.

So in addition to the original commission, everyone was also given a huge bonus.

Afterwards, they asked someone to put a large amount of goods brought back from overseas onto the train, and after paying the freight, they were quickly transported to Jianggang Wharf by train.

Then, someone was asked to move the goods from the train to the cargo ship, ready to go to the inland along the river port for sale.

At this time, people from Datang Daily also came here, found the first shopkeeper who came back, and conducted an exclusive interview.

Faced with the exclusive interview with Datang Daily, the shopkeeper was naturally flattered, and quickly agreed.

You must know that Datang Daily is a newspaper founded by His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and it has great influence, and it has been sold to many state capitals in Datang.

If I accept the exclusive interview of Datang Daily, it means that tomorrow's front page headline is very likely to be me!

As soon as he thought that he could be featured in the newspaper and become the headline on the front page and spread to all the state capitals in the Tang Dynasty, he was very excited and looking forward to it.

After a short interview, all the goods were moved to the cargo ship.

The shopkeeper bid farewell to the reporters of Datang Daily, and then took a cargo ship to the inland to do business.

This sky-high import tariff quickly spread from Shanghai City to Yangzhou City and Suzhou City.

At the same time, the next day's Datang Daily also published this news.

"The first merchant ship to go overseas has arrived at the port. Some crew members were injured, their wounds were infected and accompanied by fever, and they were in danger!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin loves the people like his son, and treats them equally. He immediately dispatched doctors to treat him with the latest medicine. His condition has improved and he is expected to recover in a few days."

"According to the person in charge of the biological laboratory, this new drug has a very good therapeutic effect on many diseases, and people's ability to resist diseases will be greatly enhanced in the future!"

"The shopkeeper of the merchant ship went to overseas trade this time, and gained a lot, bringing back wealth and goods worth 3.5 guan!"
