My life skills in Daming Liver

On Shazhou Island, Su Ze quickly took over Xu's mansion on the island.

Xu Yuan's entire army was wiped out, and Su Ze went to the island without any obstacles. He quickly searched out and killed the remaining Japanese pirates hiding on the island, and piled up their heads in front of the Daxing Temple.

Su Ze touched the Jinxian crown seized from Xu Yuan's head, looked at Xu Da's tablet in the temple, sighed softly, and re-enshrined the Jinxian crown in front of the ranking.

Su Ze set up fortifications on Shazhou Island, set up a maritime patrol route, and asked Xu Shixing in Jingjiang to escort the grain and grass to the island, and thus stationed on Shazhou Island.

At the same time, Fang Wanghai in Huguan was in a very happy mood.

The first batch of banknotes sent by the Wang family were all put into the treasury. This time, the Wang's put into the treasury was high-quality silk. If it was sold in the market, it would be worth two or three thousand taels of silver.

And the banknote tariff levied by Huguan last year was only five thousand taels of silver.

In other words, just for such a sum, he received half a year's banknote from Guan Yin last year.

Fang Wanghai was not idle during this period. Just when the southeast was in chaos, he set up two new bank gates in Wujiang and Jiaxing, controlling the canal shipping from Suzhou to Hangzhou.

In fact, Fang Wanghai had long wanted to set up more banknote gates along the way, but there was a lot of resistance to setting up banknote gates, and the previous banknote customs offices did not have enough funds.

Now that Fang Wanghai holds a few thousand taels of silver in his hand, and Nanzhili Zhejiang is in the midst of the Japanese invasion, the establishment of these two new bank notes has not encountered much resistance.

The more new banknote gates, the higher the cost of detours for businesses, and now that the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is in chaos, it is more secure to go through the government's banknote gates.

In addition to the quota of garrison officers stationed at Chaoguan itself, Fang Wanghai also set up patrols near Chaoguan in various places according to Su Ze's suggestion. These are well-informed people recruited from the local area. Please deliver the message quickly.

With such a canal news network, any merchant ship that obediently pays taxes can get news about Japanese riots along the canal, thereby avoiding dangerous sections.

In addition, if you want to pass through the Yangtze River waterway, you can also get the protection of Su Ze's Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Headquarters.

Although the battle in Jiangbei was fierce, the commerce and shipping in Jiangnan remained uninterrupted.

The silk in the south of the Yangtze River needs to be transported to the coast of Zhejiang, or loaded on a long-voyage merchant ship in Guangzhou, Fujian, and exchanged for silver, so a strange scene appeared in the southeast.

With the Yangtze River as the boundary, the war in Jiangbei was extremely cruel. The Japanese pirates attacked Yangzhou for a long time and began to wreak havoc in the Jiangbei area, harassing Taizhou, Huai'an, Yancheng and other places, and the whole Jiangbei was full of wars.

However, the south of the Yangtze River is a lively scene. Cotton cloth from Songjiang Prefecture, silk from Suzhou Prefecture, and merchant ships from all over southern Jiangsu are constantly transporting goods to the south.

These big households in southern Jiangsu were afraid of Japanese pirates going south, so they emptied the inventory in the warehouse and exchanged it for silver as soon as possible.

On the other hand, because of the news of the Japanese invasion, foreign smugglers along the coast are afraid that the south of the Yangtze River will be affected, which will affect the silk production this year and next.

The purchase price of silk and cotton cloth in the south has risen sharply, and these big households have to take advantage of the high price to sell as soon as possible.

These businessmen suddenly discovered that it seemed to be a more cost-effective deal to obediently pay the customs duties.

Not to mention that Chaoguan is a checkpoint of the imperial court. Ordinary bandits dare not attack it. It is a good place to stop the boat and rest.

Those information are also very important for businessmen, they can avoid dangerous road sections and avoid the danger of being robbed.

Moreover, the canal and water transport itself is the fastest navigation route, and it can be unimpeded as long as the customs duty is paid once. Efficiency is especially important in this time of chaos.

Fang Wanghai was pleasantly surprised to find that those big households in southern Jiangsu became willing to pay taxes, and this month's income from banknote tariffs has been steadily increasing.

With the money, Fang Wanghai set up more outposts along the way to provide clean water and food supplies, which strengthened the speed of message transmission along the entire canal.

Fang Wanghai also followed Su Ze's suggestion to hire people from the nearby slack farms to pull fiber in the gentle section of the canal, which is also counted in the service of the entire banknote tariff.

Fang Wanghai picked up the canal shipping map, and his ambition was to spread banknotes all over Zhejiang, and further control the southern end of the entire Grand Canal in his hands.

But Fang Wanghai soon discovered that he didn't have enough talents.

The banknote tariff law is simple to say, but the principle is just tax payment and deduction, so it is not too complicated.

But in fact, when this work was carried out, the workload of accounting and customs duties increased rapidly, and ordinary officials were no longer competent for such complicated work.

Fang Wanghai also knew that the reason why the banknote tariff was able to force merchants to pay taxes was due to the propaganda of "one-time tax payment and the whole process is smooth". If taxes are collected repeatedly on the road, the merchants will definitely try their best to evade taxes.

It is not difficult to set up a card to collect taxes, but the most important thing is to understand the tax, the merchants who collect it will be convinced, and the local government that collects it can share the benefits from the banknote tariff.

And as the number of Chaoguan changed from one to three, and it may become more in the future, Fang Wanghai already felt powerless.

In the final analysis, no matter how good a law is, it needs people to implement it, and as long as it is a person, it will have selfishness.

Just checking the ledgers sent by the three bill customs has already made Fang Wanghai very anxious, not to mention that the bill customs office has to summarize the tax credit receipts received by various governments. Seeing these hill-like ledgers, Fang Wanghai wants collapsed.

Encountering a problem, Fang Wanghai naturally thought of writing a letter to his future son-in-law. He told Su Ze about his difficulties and asked Su Ze to help him find a solution.

By the time Su Ze received a letter from his future father-in-law, he had already brought Xisha Island under his control.

Using Jingjiang Island as a logistics base, and Sha Island and Xisha Island as frontline outposts, Su Ze also dispatched attacks during this period to help villages along the Yangtze River defeat several Japanese pirate attacks.

These villages spread from Taixing County to the vicinity of Tongzhou. Su Ze used the beacon tower as a signal to establish a set of anti-Japanese outposts along the coast.

Once a large group of Japanese pirates appeared, the beacon towers along the coast would light the beacon fire, and the nearby people would evacuate the village.

Su Ze, who was on the island, received the signal and would send the fleet ashore to support.

Relying on this system of beacon towers, Su Ze attacked five times in late May, killed hundreds of Japanese pirates, and deterred the Japanese pirates along the Yangtze River.

On June 1, when Su Ze received Fang Wanghai's letter, he was inspecting the camp in Gushan, Jingjiang.

Handing the letter in his hand to Li Zhi, Su Ze said to Li Zhi and Xu Guo who followed him to inspect the military camp:

"Uncle Fang Shi is in trouble. He wants me to find some people who are proficient in accounting books for him to calculate the customs duties on the banknotes handed in these days."

Hearing that there was going to be an audit of the accounts, Li Zhi hurriedly took two steps back. These days he was in charge of the logistics of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Headquarters, and he was about to vomit after looking at the accounts.

If you want to blame, you have to blame Su Ze for not using the traditional four-pillar bookkeeping method, but using the complicated dragon gate bookkeeping method.

The common four-pillar accounting method has been used since the Tang and Song dynasties. The so-called "four pillars" refer to old management (equivalent to "last period balance"), new income (equivalent to "current income"), expulsion (equivalent to "current Period Expenditures"), real (equivalent to "current balance") four parts.

"Four-pillar settlement method", when checking accounts, the four-pillar balance means that there is no problem with the account book, and it is a common accounting method in the Ming government.

But Su Ze asked Li Zhi to use an accounting method he had never seen before regarding the accounting books of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Headquarters.

This method is called "Dragon Gate Accounting Method". This accounting method is more complicated. One income needs to be recorded in two accounts, which are respectively reflected in the two forms of "revenue and expenditure" and "debt deposit". It is necessary to check and combine "revenue and expenditure balance" and "assets and liabilities", which is also called "closing the dragon gate". Once there is a case of recording false accounts, the dragon gate will not be closed, and the problem can be found out.

Su Ze looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile, "When the banknote tariff was being established, I suggested to Uncle Fang Shi that all the ledgers used should be 'Longmen ledgers'."

"The algorithm of closing Longmen, you two already know it? I don't need to say more about how to check the accounts. I also invite Mr. Zhuowu and Brother Weizhen to go to Suzhou and help Fang Shishu close Longmen once."

Li Zhi looked at Su Ze depressedly, sighed and said, "Since I met Ru Lin, I have never been free."

Xu Guo also nodded, Su Ze can squeeze people better than those workshop owners of big weaving workshops!
