Vol 9 Chapter 566: ferry

In Haitao City, I found a hotel that is not very large. Zhao Hai, they came out of the hotel and turned around in Haitao City. The more he looked at Liu Quan’s face, the more ugly he was. He found Haitao. The scale of business here in the city is also bigger than expected. It is at least two-thirds larger than what he saw in the report. That is to say, every year, Wumeng will receive nearly two-thirds of it here. Tax, this makes Liu Quan not angry.
After a long day in the city, Zhao Hai directly went to a restaurant, went in and sat down, and ordered some dishes. Because of the sea, there was always no shortage of seafood. They ordered a lot of seafood and ordered it. Some wines, after the guys brought the dishes, Zhao Hai ate a bit of seafood, then took a sip of wine, and then looked out the window, they are now in the outsourcing room of this restaurant, this room can be directly seen outside.
Zhao Hai looked outside and then turned to look at Liu Quandao: "How is Liu Quan, is it very angry, isn't it different from what you imagined?" Zhao Hai has seen the change of Liu Quan's face, he I also guessed what Liu Quan was thinking, so he asked directly.
Liu Quanyi listened to Zhao Hai and said, he nodded. "Yes, Master, I have been in the Wuwang Palace all my life, and most of the time, I am serving the lord. I have seen a lot of reports from the lords. There are quite a few reports about Haitao City. The report has always said that the number of permanent residents in Haitao City is only about 700,000, and the scale of commercial transactions is only about one-third now. Now you see Haitao. How does the city look like this? How can this be surprising? What does this mean? This represents that at least two-thirds of the tax revenue in Haitao City is not paid to Wumeng every year. How is this? Can not make people angry."
When Zhao Haiyi heard Liu Quan say this, he couldn't help but smile. Then he turned his head and looked outside. Then he said, "Well, you don't want to be excited, and the excitement is useless. You can understand these things." However, I still have to tell you that this thing is not as simple as you think. How many years have you been operating in Wumeng, how many years have been run by the top ten families in Wumeng, and things in Haitao City? They won't know? Look at what Haitao City is like now. I am afraid that it is not a day or two. They may not know it all the time. If they know, but they have never said this thing, then this thing is inside. How many insiders do you think you can?"
Liu Quanyi listened to Zhao Hai and said that he couldn't help but see his face. Then he looked at Zhao Haidao: "Young master, do you mean that the lord already knows this thing? But it is not right, I have been I have never received a report on this in the side of the ally."
Liu Quanke is a close person around the net. If there is any insider here in Haitao City, how could he not know? Because of this, Liu Quan will say so. Zhao Hai looked at Liu Quan’s appearance and smiled slightly:
When I was walking down the street, I saw a lot of shops, and many of these shops were marked with marks. The mark of the family and the top ten families, do you dare to say that this thing is not known to the family and the top ten families? They know, but they don’t say, what does that mean? It represents the tax in the city of Haitao, not Haitao. The people in the city don't pay, but the people above don't want them to pay. Although it is said that Wumen is controlled by the family and the top ten families, it is not completely controlled by them. Those who receive it. Tax, although it is said that how to use it is controlled by them, but if they use all of that money, it will also cause the following people to rebound strongly. After all, there are many officials at all levels in Wumeng. In the eyes of those officials, Wu Meng is not only the family and the top ten families, but also theirs. If the family and the top ten families use the money at will, then the following people will not agree, so that , 裴Ten family and want to have their own sources of income, have money at their disposal, how to do it? Alone do business with? Even if it is not enough, right? "
Speaking of this, Zhao Hai paused and saw some of them have been stupid Liu Quan, and then said: "Even if they rely on the income of doing business to support their cost, then what business in this world is the most profitable? The shipping business is definitely one of the most profitable businesses. They control Haitao City here, pay less taxes, and they will have more income. At that time, their use will naturally be more. If you don’t believe it, you will take this thing. Reporting up, and guaranteeing that there will be no results, this matter will only be suppressed, no one will know that you have talked about this matter with you."
Liu Quan did not say anything. He had already thought that when he was still waiting for the cleanliness, when some people from the family came to see the net, he would always send him out and talk to those people. What he did, he did not know. From this point of view, what Zhao Hai said is very likely to be true.
At the thought of this, Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't speak. Zhao Hai looked at Liu Quan's appearance. Then he smiled slightly: "You don't have to sigh, I can tell you for sure, even if you check this. If you look at the business here, the scale of the business is so large, but the tax is small. If you trace it, you will find that they have a lot of tax avoidance methods, such as the top ten families or 裴The family's industry does not need to pay taxes, or pay less taxes, or other shops. There are many shops belonging to the same store. They only need to pay a tax. As for the population, it is even more Simple, I remember that there are still slaves in Wumeng, like the servants of some big families, they are not counted in the population, that is, those servants are slaves, they are not If you want to check the population of Haitao City, you will not find that the proportion of slaves here is more than that of other places. Those people are slaves. They are not a population, so the sea. City looks a million people here, but among them were three hundred thousand slaves, so the resident population of only 700,000 which is no problem. "
Liu Quanyi listened to Zhao Hai and said that he couldn’t help but sigh, but he immediately said: "Impossible, the slaves are marked, but the people here..." Here, Liu Quan suddenly stopped. He understood the meaning of Zhao Hai. No one stipulated that the mark on the slave must be on the face, or the place where people can see it. If those people have slave marks, they are all in your watch. Not where?
At the thought of this, Liu Quan was not opening. He looked out the window and found out that there were many large family-owned shops in the shops on the street. There were also many shops with labels. According to the regulations of the Wumeng, the taxes paid by the family and the top ten families are very small. Therefore, the tax paid by Haitao City is only about one-third of the market size, which makes it possible to explain.
After trying to understand what was going on, Liu Quan couldn’t help but sigh. To be honest, he really didn’t know what to say about this matter. He didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. He really didn’t know. What to say, but in any case, in this matter, the family is not losing.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan did not say anything. He took a sip of wine and sighed a bit, then followed Zhao Haidao: "I am sorry for the young master. I am now your servant. I should not have taken care of this matter. I Let the young master disappointed you." Liu Quan looked at Zhao Haidao.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly: "There is nothing, human nature, don't think about this thing, we will inquire about it later, when will the ship going to the steel industry have it, we will do some preparation." Liu Quan should have a cry Then the three started eating. After eating, Zhao Hai called the buddy to the room.
After the buddy arrived, Zhao Hai gave the meal, and then gave the buddy a silver coin as a reward. Then he said to the buddy: "Man, I have to ask, where is there in the city, you can buy it?" To the ticket for the steel industry? We are going to the steel industry."
When the guy listened to Zhao Hai, he immediately said: "The passenger officer wants to go to the steel industry. It is really the right place. We have a special route to the steel industry here. In the steel industry, I just don’t know the passengers. You want to live in the sailing boat here, or you want to take the iron boat in the steel industry."
Zhao Haiyi, then began to say: "What is the difference? Please also inform." Zhao Hai really do not know, this boat has so much attention, listen to the meaning of this guy, from the Taowu community here There should be two kinds of boats in the steel industry. The sailboats should be wooden, and the iron boats should be the big ships in the steel industry.
The buddy said: "There is a difference. Of course, there is a difference. If you want to take a sailing boat in our martial arts, the price will be a little cheaper, the speed will be slower, but there will be no danger, and When we sail in the waters of the martial arts, we may be more comfortable. The iron boats in the steel industry, they generally do not enter the waters of our martial arts, they will wait in the open sea, they will send The boat took people to the big ship. The big ships were all iron boats, and they didn't need sails. I heard that they can only go with a thing called a steam engine. The speed is very fast. Of course, from the sea to the sea, here is the sea. For a while, it’s going to sail from the boat, and it’s still a boat, there will be some uncomfortable, but when I get on the iron boat, it will be different. I heard that the iron boat is very big, and the room is still big, sitting on it will be very Comfortable, of course, the price will be very high."
Zhao Hai nodded and then asked the buddy: "Is there any danger in the boat?" Zhao Hai said before listening to the buddy, there is no danger in the boat in the martial arts, which makes him curious. Is it dangerous to say that? This made him a bit curious, so he asked this one.
The buddy quickly said: "The danger is there, and it happens in the waters of our martial arts. There are some pirates in the waters of our martial arts. They will rob the small sailboats picking up people from the iron boats, and for us. The big sailing ships here in the Daowu area are incapable of attacking them, so there is a certain danger in sitting in the waters of our Daowu area."
