Super Smuggling System

"You are disregarding the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty." Obviously, the minister who raised the opinion was not less angry by Cheng Yaojin on weekdays.

Fang Xuanling and the others saw that Cheng Yaojin was flirting with someone again, so they hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt, otherwise they wouldn't have to do anything in today's discussion, just persuade them to fight.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is impossible to bring the Haixue salt of the Guihua Viscount back to the imperial court. This hurts the Guihua Viscount's heart, and it is not in line with the imperial court's royal strategy. Do you think my Tang Dynasty even wants to rob a naturalized outsider?"

"This will lose the face of my Tang court!" Fang Xuanling raised objections from the naturalization of Fanbang.

"Your Majesty, Viscount Guihua has already handed over [-]% of Haixueyan's profits to the imperial court. It can be seen that Viscount Guihua has the imperial court and Tang Dynasty in his heart."

"Your Majesty, Haixue Salt is very important to my Tang soldiers. Currently, only Viscount Guihua can produce such a large amount of Haixue Salt. If we bring Haixue Salt to the imperial court, even if we succeed this time, it is inevitable that we will return Haixue Salt in the future." The Viscount Hua is unwilling to take out anything else."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui continued.

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of the old minister, it is better to reward him with the fact that the naturalized Viscount offered sea snow salt, so that he can stabilize his heart, so that he can serve Datang a lot, and it can also show my Datang's tolerant heart. Those foreign people who want to be naturalized in my Tang Dynasty should be an example." Fang Xuanling suggested to Li Er.

"Good." Then Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji praised Fang Xuanling's proposal repeatedly.

The repeated actions of the three of Fang Xuanling set the tone for Haixueyan, and Li Er was also happy to sit back and enjoy the benefits. After all, if it was really brought back to the imperial court and entered the household department, then [-]% of the profits of the inner government could only be turned into Bubbles.

After the tone has been set, the next step is to study how to reward Li Mu, and then discuss how to implement it.

A few days later, a sacred decree was issued from Chang'an City after it was signed by the three provinces.

Chapter 1 Thirteen Imperial Decree!promotion!

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Li Mu, the son of Guihua County, was originally a descendant of our Datang Huawai, and he thought that he had contributed to the Baiyao. Afterwards, the son of Guihua County did not forget the emperor's kindness, and now he offered sea snow and salt again, which was really a blessing for Tang Dynasty and for Li Mu. Datang meritorious service, hereby change Guihua county son to Shoushan county uncle, entitle Quanzhou Biejia, allow the establishment of Quanzhou navy, grant Quanzhou navy commander, all important matters of the navy belong to Shoushan Bo Yiying, establish by oneself, may not be granted Notify the imperial court.

"Kin this!"

An imperial decree from Chang'an to Quanzhou confirmed Li Mu's status in Quanzhou, and raised his title in Datang to a higher level. Currently Li Mu has become the county magistrate of Datang. (Commonly known as Earl.)

Li Mu didn't care about the first two rewards in the imperial decree. These two things could be regarded as unexpected surprises. What he cared most about was the post that was later conferred.

Li Er allowed him to establish the Quanzhou Navy.

This proves that Li Mu can establish his own strength with great fanfare. With the addition of the other seat, Quanzhou can be sure that Li Mu is in the rear of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the irresponsible words of Li Er and those old ministers in the imperial decree are a bit funny.

The content of this imperial decree is obvious, and it is self-established, so it is not necessary to report it.

It clearly means that the Quanzhou navy can be established, but the court will not spend a penny. From this, it can be seen that the navy is not as important as the army to the Tang court.

It is no wonder that ancient China has always paid attention to the army and ignored the navy. Otherwise, relying on the technology of ancient Chinese sea ship manufacturing, it would have carried out foreign colonization hundreds of years earlier than Europe.

From Zheng He's voyages to the West, he told European countries that ships can be made very large, which inspired the insatiable ambition of Europeans and opened the era of great European navigation.

But China is still nostalgic for the land of the Central Plains, and has never set its sights on the sea.

Li Mu was very helpless, and he also deeply realized that the ancestors' nostalgia for the land and their deep reliance on agriculture made this nation focus on the land instead of the sea.

Although he was helpless, Li Mu was also thankful that the ancients did not pay much attention to the sea and navy, otherwise, they would not have agreed so easily to establish the Quanzhou Navy.

Li Mu, who received the imperial decree, didn't pay attention to the congratulations from the surrounding crowd, but only accepted the congratulations from Quanzhou officials such as Wei Dayong.

Then let Meier give some money to the eunuch who came to declare the decree, and then sent him to the official ship back to Chang'an.

As Shoushan Guihua Viscount's Mansion was replaced with the plaque of Shoushan Earl's Mansion, of course the plaque of Viscount's Mansion in Xinghuafang had been replaced long ago.

Then there's the banquet.

Among these banquets, he, who is not in Quanzhou, needs to have a separate banquet with Quanzhou officials, which can be regarded as a formal meeting with local officials at all levels in Quanzhou.

After the banquet, all things will be carried out according to the previous rules, and nothing will happen to the Quanzhou government because of the addition of Li Mu.

At the same time, Quanzhou Haixue Salt also launched the sales of the first batch of finished products. This batch of Haixue Salt was sold to Mufenghao in addition to three transactions.

As for the remaining [-]% of the parts, who will be handed over to sell, Li Mu did not clearly explain to Wei Dayong.

The reason why there is no explanation is because too many people, after knowing the existence of Haixue salt, have their eyes on the sale of Haixue salt.

Although he did not mention the sale of Haixue salt, Li Mu suggested that Wei Dayong call the shops in Quanzhou and hold a symposium led by the government.

At the symposium, Li Mu suggested that the firms participating in the symposium in Quanzhou form the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Mei Shuang, the manager of the Mufeng firm, was appointed as the chairman of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although there were some objections to Li Mu's proposal at the beginning, they all agreed with the proposal to establish the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The objection was that Mei Shuang became the chairman and let a woman sit on top of them. Even if the businessman had no status, he didn't like a woman sitting on top.

Of course, no matter how opposed these businessmen were, Li Mu and Wei Dayong supported it, and all the officials in Quanzhou agreed with Mei Shuang as the president.

The shopkeepers present could only hold their noses and admit it, otherwise they would have to withdraw from the chamber of commerce. In that case, it would be tantamount to withdrawing from the Quanzhou business community.

It also means giving up a lot of interests, and businessmen pay the most attention to interests.

Why did Li Mu propose Mei Shuang to be the president of the chamber of commerce?

Because only one of his own, Li Mu, would feel relieved.

Only if the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is his own, can Li Mu carry out the next actions through the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, support the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and accomplish some other things with the help of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the establishment of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce will not only have certain responsibilities, but also some conveniences and benefits.

As a member of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, the responsibility of the request is to pay a membership fee to the Chamber of Commerce every year to maintain their status as members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Become a member of the chamber of commerce, and you will be eligible to buy and sell sea snow salt.

At the same time, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, after the successful construction of Fuchuan in the future, he has the qualification to purchase Fuchuan.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce who also purchased Fuchuan are eligible to participate in maritime commerce, and the Quanzhou Navy will provide maritime protection for the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, if members of the chamber of commerce do not have development funds, they can make temporary interest-free loans from the chamber of commerce.

In addition, as the chamber of commerce grows, members of the chamber of commerce will also enjoy more convenient services provided by the chamber of commerce.

The storekeepers present at the scene, when they heard that becoming a member of the chamber of commerce would bring so many benefits, their attitude of hesitation suddenly rose.

Not to mention those intangible benefits, just the sales of Haixue salt and the ability to participate in shipping business, these two are worth becoming a member of the chamber of commerce.

As for making a woman the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the benefits in exchange are not important.

In this regard, the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce was formally established. The first thing the Chamber of Commerce established was to start distributing Haixue salt.

As for the purchase of Fuchuan.

Because Quanzhou Port is still under construction, the shipyard is still under construction, but the shipyard has already stored a large amount of timber.

After the ship wood drying kiln is built, the kiln-dried wood will start in large quantities, and then enter the formal shipbuilding.
