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

Even after floating on the sea for so long, the food and drink are not very good, but everyone has a red face and looks very happy.

They were indeed very happy in their hearts, because the harvest from this trip to the sea was simply much more than they had imagined before!

Overseas countries are simply a piece of market that has not yet been opened up. They brought all kinds of goods from Datang to the past, and they killed them randomly!

Under the impact of Datang's products, the local products of overseas countries were directly washed away.

Moreover, the pricing power is in their hands. When the products are extremely popular, the prices they charge are also increasing.

Even played hunger marketing, raising the price of a single product to an extremely high level.

They took advantage of the mobility of the big ship to sell out the goods on the ship in several places, basically ensuring that the price of the single product remained high, and they also sold out a large amount of goods.

This naturally made more profits!

Now, a shipment of goods originally purchased at a very low price has now become a shipment of gold, silver and precious goods.

The value of this ship has increased dozens of times compared to the value of the previous ship!

Soon, the customs officers also completed the counting of gold, silver and goods, which was basically no different from the ledgers provided by each of them.

"Gold is 16 taels, silver is 1.2 taels, and import duties are 84 taels!"

"The value of the goods is 1.3 guan, the import duty is 26 guan, and the total import duty is 1.1 guan!"

"This is the import tariff list, please sign if you have no objection."

"Gold is 1 tael, silver is 7 taels, and the value of the goods is 6 taels. A total of 63 taels of import duties will be paid!"

"Gold is 12 tael, silver is 9 taels, and the value of the goods is 8 taels. A total of 79 taels of import duties will be paid!"

One after another, the import tariff sheets were distributed to the merchants, and then the merchants looked at it, and after finding that the numbers above were correct, they signed their names.

Considering that there are a lot of merchant ships in the port, and there are still many merchant ships waiting behind, the customs only issued a tariff list to the merchants, and then asked the merchants to pay taxes at the customs office within five days.

Although there is no transfer, but since the bill has been issued, the money is actually in Shanghai City's pocket.

And many businessmen who want to know how everyone has gained overseas, after seeing the gleaming gold and white silver, after hearing the statistics of wealth.

Their eyes were full of envy and excitement, as well as deep expectations, and they all made a decision in their hearts!

Just now, according to the statistics of the harvest of these dozens of merchant ships, none of them has a harvest of less than 2 guan!

And the cost of goods purchased by these merchant ships when they set off, although a large ship is full, is nothing compared to 2 Guan!

In this case, even if thousands of guan are paid, as long as all the goods are sold out, the final profit may still be more than 1 guan, or even close to 2 guan.

And this is still rare, some powerful businessmen brought back nearly 4 guan of wealth in just one boat this time!

Even after paying more than 1 guan of tariffs, in the end, the profit may not be less than 3.5 guan!

And 3.5 guan is already a figure that they can only earn after more than ten years of hard work.

They made a calculation in their minds. Just judging from the harvest of these dozens of merchant ships, the average one is basically more than 2.

This harvest is very impressive, even if the switching tax is excluded, the net profit at the end is also very large.

This was enough to impress them thoroughly, so that they also decided to join the team of overseas trade.

In the next few days, merchant ships returned to Shanghai City Seaport Wharf, passed customs inspection, and paid import duties in full.

In the end, 6 big ships went out, and a lot of them came back.

The safety of the big ship is still very guaranteed, which also makes the last stone in the hearts of many businessmen fall to the ground.

And the final data shocked everyone.

Even Li Ke was surprised when he received the final data.

Because, he has estimated the harvest of the last 6 merchant ships from the harvest of the first returning merchant ship.

But I didn't expect it to be underestimated in the end.

According to the data sent by the customs, 6 merchant ships paid a total of 584 million import duties!

On average, each merchant ship pays 97 guan merchant taxes, which is about the same as that paid by the first merchant ship.

This number surprised Li Ke very much. He originally thought that it was impossible for every big ship to have the same harvest as the first merchant ship.

His estimate is close to the import tariff of 5 guan.

Unexpectedly, it reached 584 million guan in the end, which is only a little short of 6 guan.

Moreover, the average tariff paid by each merchant ship reached 97, which exceeded the tariff paid by the first merchant ship!

This really caught him by surprise.

The wealth brought back by the 6 merchant ships is worth 2160 million guan!

The value of gold and silver alone has reached 13 guan!

Among them, 74 taels of gold and 560 million taels of silver!

Li Ke is still very satisfied with this data.

Gold will always be the hard currency in this world. Even though paper money is gradually becoming popular in Datang, it is only circulated in a few state capitals.

Copper coins are still used in most areas, as well as silver and gold.

In the case that the amount of gold is not enough, silver also assumes a large part of the role of currency.

And these merchants deposited a large amount of gold and silver as money in the bank, which turned into a string of numbers.

Even if you withdraw money and use it in the future, you will still get printed banknotes!

Therefore, these gold and silver are equivalent to being owned by the bank!

And the bank is his, that is to say, these merchants are equivalent to helping him sweep back a large amount of gold and silver reserves from all over the world!

With a large amount of gold and silver as reserves, the bank can then start printing paper money on a large scale.

How much gold and silver is reserved, how much money will be printed according to the value of these gold and silver.

It can be said that these businessmen seem to be rich in overseas trade, but in fact it is Li Ke who is really rich!

The bank is owned by Li Ke, and Shanghai City Customs is also built by Li Ke, so the financial revenue will naturally be distributed by Li Ke.

As for the remaining goods worth 860 million guan, they will also be shipped to inland areas for sale.

After the sale, business tax and income tax will be paid, which can also provide a lot of tax revenue for Yangzhou and Suzhou.

In short, after this trip, everyone made money.

The only ones losing money are all overseas countries!

And this result is naturally a great thing for Datang

Datang is tantamount to continuously absorbing the blood of overseas countries through overseas trade.

One trip brought back wealth worth 2160 million guan, while Datang paid for some commodities.

In the future, as overseas trade becomes more and more frequent, there will be more and more merchants.

Over the years, the wealth brought back to Datang from overseas countries will be an astronomical figure!

Datang will become richer and stronger in the future, while overseas countries will become poorer and weaker.

At that time, it will be easy to send troops to destroy them.

Even without the need for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, they themselves will have civil strife because of lack of money. At that time, the Tang Dynasty only needs to go to clean up the mess as the king of heaven.

Faced with this perfect report card, Li Ke naturally asked people from the newspaper team to come and take the report card away.

The next day, Datang Daily published the harvest of the first batch of merchant ships that went to sea, as well as the customs duties collected.

"Yesterday, the first six large ships to go to sea have all arrived at the port, and all the goods have been sent to the inland."

"The average harvest per ship this time is around 3.6 guan, and the average tariff paid per ship is 97 guan!"

"The average salary of the captain is 2 guan, the average salary of the crew is 30 guan, and the average bonus is 50 guan!"

"Congratulations to all the businessmen who have achieved good results in overseas countries. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute to the prosperity of Datang together!"

Datang Daily didn't say too much about other things, it just presented facts and talked about statistics.

Needless to say anything else, I believe everyone will be tempted after seeing these data.

Sure enough, when a large number of businessmen saw the data in the newspaper, they all went crazy!

"My God! The average harvest per ship is around 3.6 guan? So how much money will you make on this trip?"

"What's the point of doing this business? Others have earned my money for more than ten years, what a fart!"

"No, I have to do overseas trade too. How is this a business? This is simply stealing money!"

"Yes, although you have to pay tariffs, but compared with this huge profit, what is that tariff?"

"Stop talking, I'm going to buy a ship now, and I'm also going to do overseas trade!"

"Buy a ship? Where do you go to buy a ship? I have already inquired about it. All the shipyards in Yangzhou and Suzhou have placed orders for a year later, and the price has risen to 6 pieces!"

"Also, even if you have a ship, can you hire an experienced captain and crew?"

Many businessmen want to start buying ships immediately, and then join the ranks of overseas trade.

However, they found out in despair that there were no boats to buy in the market!

None! 5.9

Even if I go to the shipyard to place an order now, I find that the order has been scheduled for a year later!

Yes, the first thing those merchants do after they arrive in Hong Kong to pay their taxes is to go to the shipyard to place additional orders!

Their original orders have not been delivered yet, and now they are directly adding orders again, and they are not one or two ships, but multiple ships!

Now if you want to buy a boat in Yangzhou and Suzhou, you have to wait at least a year before you can place an order. As for the delivery, you have to wait another half a year!

After a year and a half, it is estimated that overseas day lilies will be cold, and the money will have been earned by others.

Moreover, they also discovered a desperate thing.

That is, even if the boat is bought, there is no experienced captain and crew to go to sea.

Otherwise, let them be a landlubber to drive the big ship out to sea?

I'm afraid it sank to the bottom of the sea within two days of going out.

Don't talk about making money, people's lives are gone.

Thinking of this, the merchants suddenly felt very desperate.

This feeling of clearly seeing a mountain of gold in front of you and seeing others making money wantonly, but being powerless and unable to reach in is too uncomfortable!

They are not the only ones who suffer, there are many young people who are also very uncomfortable!

Because, looking at the average salaries and bonuses of the captain and crew, they were all extremely envious!

But if you don't know sailing knowledge, you can only be envious, which is also very uncomfortable!

After understanding the folk atmosphere and the inner feelings of those two groups.

A smile appeared on Li Ke's face, his plan can begin!

PS: Fourth more! .

Chapter 349 The Rebellion Plan Advances!Li Shimin was tricked into going to the East Palace!

The folk vibe is really not quite right now.

The happy people are very happy, and the depressed people are very disappointed.

Those merchants who made money immediately shipped their goods to big cities like Chang'an City and Luoyang City for sale.

After all, Chang'an and Luoyang still have the most dignitaries and rich people, and those treasures have the largest market there.

Of course, sales don't necessarily require them to go in person, there are other guys under him, just send them.

They want to stay in Shanghai City, firstly, to collect information, learn about the market, purchasing power, consumption ability and other information of various countries from other businessmen.

Then they continue to stock up in Shanghai. They have tasted the sweetness this time, so they must hurry up and go to sea again to make money.

After all, everyone knows very well that as long as they see the huge profits of overseas trade, all businessmen will basically want to participate and want to get a share.

The cake of overseas trade is only so big, if it is shared by more people, the ones that are divided into their own hands will become smaller.

This undoubtedly reduces their interests, and they are definitely unwilling.
