Who would have thought that just a while ago, among the great merchants in Tongzhou who were punished to cry because of Li Sancai's corruption case, there was Wu Dazhang!

Wu Dazhang didn't expect that being punished to sleep like a baby (cry for a while, sleep for a while), would be a huge turning point.

Because of his son Wu Zheng’s defense, Long Live actually gave Tongzhou businessmen a chance to revive their momentum.

As long as taxes are paid in accordance with the law and appropriate freight is paid, not only can the merchant’s goods be transported by empty-loaded ships, but the cash tickets along the way are also exempted from being collected and released;

When Qingdao opened a port, Tongzhou business groups took the lead. Not only did they enjoy some preferential policies, they also knew about it at least half a month earlier than other businessmen and took action fifteen days in advance.

With these, Wu Dazhang sat firmly in the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce. His son, Wu Zheng, who wrote the defense, had been sent to Japan as an envoy.

It was a blessing in disguise. Wu Dazhang looked at the businessmen below talking and studying. His fat face was smiling, but he looked down on him.

There is smoke coming from our Wu family’s ancestral tomb. I am also working on the mission the emperor ordered, can you be the same as you?

……………………

In the "Shanghai Town", named in the Southern Song Dynasty, it continued to Shanghai County in the Ming Dynasty, which was later Shanghai, Lin Huazhong's father Lin Yuanqing did the same thing as Wu Dazhang.

In Xiamen, it is the Yang Tiansheng family; in Guangzhou, it is the Haishang Huang Cheng.

No one expected that the imperial court's efforts to lift the maritime ban were so strong and its actions were so vigorous and vigorous.

Not only were Chinese businessmen caught off guard in Japan, but even many domestic businessmen were in a hurry.

You should know that if the maritime merchants do not have domestic contacts and are responsible for purchasing and purchasing them, what can they use to make money? It is impossible to just grab it!

For example, Li Dan, a big sea merchant, built a supply network in the mainland; Yang Tiansheng, a businessman from Jinjiang, Quanzhou, served Yan Siqi.

The new customs policies and charging standards, the "sending books and flags" licensing system, and the "purchase" certificate that will be gradually implemented in the mainland. It can be said that it has taken a multi-pronged approach and has seized the lifeline of maritime merchants.

Continue to smuggle? Yes, this is unpredictable, just like there will always be someone who will evade taxes.

But in addition to the risk of being seized, it is a big question to whom you smuggled out the goods to.

Those maritime merchants who spend money to get "bring books and put flags" will be disqualified once they are found to buy smuggling goods. This is not the Ming Dynasty, and Japan will no longer allow you to do business.

If the loss is too large, many people will make wise choices compared to the benefits of smuggling.

Smuggling to Western barbarians is theoretically feasible. If he succeeds, even Zhu Youxiao, who is the emperor, will admire him.

Of course, if you can afford the treason of "interesting in foreign countries" and dare to risk being executed, there is no need to say anything.

This is a major reshuffle for maritime merchants, and it is also an opportunity and challenge for mainland merchants.

Those with sharp vision and timely adjustments will make a fortune, those with slow reactions, and those who hesitate will lose. The mall is like a battlefield, but it is nothing more than that.

And just as the merchants were thinking and planning for the sudden change to adapt as soon as possible.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who set off this trend, did not focus on this.

The process of gradually improving the sea ban, setting up market ships, building exchanges, recruiting sea commerce, etc. Although there are flaws, it is unlikely to cause turmoil.
