"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!"

"The shopkeeper of the merchant ship revealed that the net profit of this overseas trade may reach 3 yuan!"

"According to the customs' import and export tariff rules, a total of 95 tariffs will be charged this time!"

This is the headline on the front page of Datang Daily, mainly introducing these two things.

One is how good the effect of introducing new drugs is, and the other is how profitable overseas trade is!

Each title corresponds to a detailed content, and everyone quickly read it.

After watching it, I was very shocked!

"The wound has been infected for so many days, but it can still be cured. This new medicine is amazing!"

"And His Royal Highness the King of Qin deserves to be a virtuous king who loves the people like a son. Even if he is just an ordinary crew member, he went there in person and sent someone to use precious new medicine for him!"

"This new medicine is also a blessing for everyone. In case of illness in the future, at least there will be a medicine with excellent effect!"

After watching the content of the treatment of the crew member with the new drug, everyone had a higher respect for Li Ke in their hearts.

After all, Li Ke is the majestic king of Qin, and the crew member is just an ordinary citizen.

The life and death of that person has nothing to do with Li Ke, and Li Ke can completely pretend that he doesn't know.

But Li Ke still went there in person, and even sent someone to give him precious medicines, and he insisted on rescuing a dying man.

This kind of behavior still moved the people of Yangzhou and Suzhou very much.

After all, like that crew member, they are just ordinary people.

Today Li Ke cares so much about that person's life, tomorrow he will care about their lives too.

Moreover, everyone is also very interested in that new drug. After all, many people know that once the wound is infected for a long time and the symptoms of high fever persist, it is basically hopeless.

But after using the new medicine, he was miraculously saved.

This undoubtedly proves that the new drug has unimaginable miraculous effects!

This is undoubtedly great news for everyone.

Afterwards, everyone saw the harvest of the merchant ship, which was as high as 3.5!

Moreover, the tariff is so high that it has reached an exaggerated 95%!

"Hiss! Is overseas trade so profitable?"

"How do you feel that after they go overseas, they are not doing business, but seem to be stealing money?"

"It's only been three months, right? You've earned 3.5 yuan? I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"And what kind of tax is this tariff? Why did you collect 95 guan in one go?"

"The tariff is for merchants who go to sea to do business, 30% for gold and silver, and 20% for goods."

"I heard that 6 large ships went out to sea this time, and only one of them collected 95 guan tariffs. Wouldn't it be close to 6 guan if all of them were collected?"

"can not imagine!"

Everyone was extremely shocked by these two data, and their voices were full of disbelief!

The main reason is that these two numbers are really too big.

One trip to the sea brought back 3.5 guan worth of gold, silver and goods. The profit from this can be imagined, which is a huge number.

And the tariff, which I have never heard of before, has collected as many as 95 guan at one time, which is also very exaggerated.

However, there is also a special content in the newspaper that explains what tariffs are and what protections will be provided by collecting tariffs.

And what will the tariffs received be used for and so on.

After reading it, everyone has a basic understanding of tariffs, and the doubts in their hearts have dissipated a lot.

For example, the Datang Navy will provide marine protection for merchant ships that have paid tariffs. If they are bullied overseas, the Datang Navy will never let the other party go.

After seeing this article, everyone immediately felt that the tariff was very reasonable.

And it is mainly now that Yangzhou and Suzhou have cultivated the awareness of paying taxes for doing business!

Tariff is also a kind of commercial tax, so after everyone understands it, there will be no doubts.

There are also two interviews at the back of the newspaper.

One was an exclusive interview with the shopkeeper of the merchant ship.

"Overseas, my Datang's products are very popular, and they are very attractive to the rich and powerful in overseas countries."

"In the Tang Dynasty, you can buy ordinary glass mirrors for 2 gold, but in the country of Wa, someone bought a glass mirror directly for 1 tael of gold!"

"To sum up this trip, the top five best-selling products overseas are glass mirrors, glass products, cloth, matches, and soap!"

"Moreover, the overseas market is very large, and the supply is simply in short supply. You can sell as much as you have!"

"And you can barter, exchange cheap goods for their precious goods, and then transport them to Datang to sell, and you can also make a fortune."

"This is the experience and experience of my trip. I plan to go to Chang'an City and Luoyang City to sell out all the goods, and then buy another batch of goods and go to sea again!"

The shopkeeper accepted an exclusive interview with Datang Daily, and expressed his thoughts and experiences of going to sea this time without hesitation.

It was impossible to say such a thing, but because it was an exclusive interview with Datang Daily, he was also worried whether this was what Li Ke meant.

If it was Li Ke's intention, and he concealed it, it might cause Li Ke's dissatisfaction, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said everything that should be said.

Moreover, even if he didn't say it, someone from the businessman who came back later would always say it.

At that time, he will not be the one in the newspaper, which is obviously not worthwhile.

Another article is an exclusive interview with the captain and crew.

"Although life at sea is boring, the salary given by the owner is very high, and a large bonus is also given after returning!"

"It took years of hard work to save up this money, but now I can earn it in three months."

"The next step is to go home to spend time with my family, deposit the money in the bank, and then plan to go to sea with my boss again."

Because there was a shortage of talents before going to sea, when merchants recruited captains and crew members, they paid very high salaries.

In addition, he made a lot of money doing business this time, and he was given a lot of bonuses.

So the captain and crew are now well-paid people.

When you read the content of these two interviews, different people have different feelings in their hearts.

The merchants naturally focused on the exclusive interview with the shopkeeper.

When they saw that an ordinary glass mirror can be sold for 1 tael of gold overseas, they were shocked!

You must know that their purchase price is less than 2 renminbi, and after they are shipped to their place, they can only be sold for 2 renminbi at most, which is the marked price.

The profit obtained is the difference between the purchase price and the sales price.

However, a 2 tael glass mirror can be sold for 1 tael of gold after having independent pricing power overseas, which is directly 50 times the price!

If they can sell at this price, then they can make so much money!

Unfortunately, this price can not sell.

If you want to sell at this price, there is only one way to go, and that is to go to sea!

Thinking of this, they also made decisions in their hearts, and they must go to sea to do business next!

No matter how Datang's business is done, there is only such a small profit, which is basically fixed.

Only when you go to sea can you rely on your own ability. As long as you can sell it, no matter how high the price is, it is your ability, and no one will interfere.

As for the high tariffs, everyone has also settled an account. As long as you earn enough overseas, the tariffs are fine.

After going to sea for three months, you can earn what you could only earn in the past few years or even ten years. Even if you pay a lot of tariffs, you will definitely make a lot of money.

However, they still want to wait for the follow-up merchant ships to come back, and decide whether to go to sea based on everyone's average harvest.

After all, this is just a single person's experience. What if he is just lucky and earns more?

If you find out that everyone earns more, then you won't hesitate and go to sea directly.

And many young people are also very envious after seeing the exclusive interviews with the captain and crew.

They do not have the ability and capital to do business, so naturally they can only do some labor or technical work.

The salaries of the captain and crew at sea are very high, and if the owner makes money, they will also give a lot of bonuses.

This is naturally very attractive to everyone.

But everyone knew nothing about sailing, and even if they wanted to be captains and crews, no one wanted them.

This made them secretly envy in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.

This Datang Daily was published in many surrounding state capitals, and many people took the newspaper back, spreading the news of Shanghai City everywhere.

Many merchants are eager to try and participate in overseas trade, but they are still waiting for a large number of merchant ships to return.

Many young people want to work as crew members, but they have no way to go, and they don't know where to learn sailing knowledge.

In this way, a few days passed.

On this day, outside the harbor pier in Shanghai, someone saw a spectacular scene!

Big ships approached the port quickly from the far sea, and the sails covered the sky and the sun, mighty and mighty, and the battle was huge!

If everyone hadn't known that these were merchant ships, they might have thought that some country's navy fleet had come to attack Shanghai City.

However, apart from Datang, no country has such a large fleet of large ships.

"The merchant ship is back!"

Someone yelled expectantly.

Many people are looking forward to it, and really want to know how the harvest of this batch of merchant ships will be!

PS: The third update!corpse.

Chapter 348 Another 1500 Big Ships!Something big happened in Chang'an City?

To say that those who are most looking forward to the docking of these merchant ships have to be the merchants from all over the city gathered in Shanghai.

They estimated that they expected these merchant ships to dock more than the customs staff.

Because they want to know whether the harvest from going to sea is really as exaggerated as that of the first merchant ship!

Soon, in everyone's expectant eyes, one after another merchant ships began to dock.

The harbor wharf was built so large that it could accommodate dozens of large ships to berth at the same time.

But the number of large ships in this batch is obviously a bit large, and there are still large ships appearing in the far sea one after another, and they will be docking soon.

As a result, ships specially responsible for port dispatch sailed out, and large ships began to line up at sea.

Soon, the harbor pier, which was still somewhat chaotic, became orderly after a short while.

A ship entered the port and docked at the pier, while other large ships waited in an orderly manner not far away.

The customs officers also got busy, and many people dispatched together, divided into several teams, and went to check on the large ships.

In addition to checking gold, silver and goods, it will also check whether there are any invasive species brought back.

Customs have been trained for a period of time, knowing that there are invasive species, once found, they will be eliminated immediately.

Regardless of whether it is a plant or an animal, it must be burned as soon as possible.

Once no invasive species are found, unloading begins.

These merchants who came back from overseas are basically configured with gold and silver plus goods.

Basically not all goods, or all gold and silver.

After everyone got off the boat, they all smiled and greeted their acquaintances.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how did you gain from this trip?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, I'm afraid this time I'm making a lot of money, right?"

Everyone is flattering each other, but everyone's face is full of happy smiles.
