Chapter 209
"Sure enough, this world, after all, still speaks with strength!"
Receiving the news that Zhang Liangfei's pigeon was sent back, Fusu said with a smile.
Daqin can be regarded as famous all over the world because of his victory over Rome.
This can not only increase Great Qin's prestige and influence, but also bring extremely lucrative benefits to Great Qin.
Although the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea cannot be directly navigated, the Persian County can play the role of a transit point and form the Maritime Silk Road of Daqin-Persian County-Mediterranean.
Once it is opened, the commerce of Persian County will inevitably take off directly, bringing huge benefits to Daqin, and at the same time, it will also expand Daqin's influence in the surrounding areas.
Not to mention, the people of the Seleucid Kingdom will definitely yearn for Great Qin even more, just like the people of Tu'an Kingdom were happy to integrate into Great Qin.
At the same time, it can also attract more people of Great Qin to immigrate to Persian County and increase the proportion of the population of the Qin people.
In particular, Carthage and other neighboring countries now have a request for Daqin, and Daqin can completely let them join the business alliance dominated by Daqin and get the preferential policy of unilaterally treating the best country.
The pace of Daqin's great voyage can be taken another big step.
"In this case, one Songhai city is definitely not enough, and several more port cities must be built, which can not only give full play to the role of the Grand Canal, but also revitalize Jiangnan in advance. "
"By the way, if the sea trade is developed, the customs can also consider starting to build, which is the core of Daqin's future income growth. "
Fusu studied the map for a long time.
Under the command of Han Xin, the East Lake cavalry also won consecutive battles against the Mauryan Dynasty, not only breaking through dozens of cities, plundering tens of millions of money, but also capturing more than one million coolies.
These Mauryan coolies accelerated the construction of the Grand Canal, and in one year at most, the entire canal could be completed.
After the opening of the Grand Canal, the inland areas of Guanzhong can be closely connected with the coastline through this main artery.
The incomparably rich Jiangnan area in later generations can also be developed in advance.
The best measure to develop Jiangnan is to build a port in the open sea and drive the surrounding economy through sea trade.
Moreover, at present, the seaport of Daqin is mainly concentrated in Songhai City in the Qilu region, although it is very close to Tu'an and Fusang Island, but if you want to open up the route of Persian County, it is not as convenient as coming from the south of the Yangtze River.
Fusu thought for a while, and soon picked up the pen and began to write.
......
The next day, above the court.
Yingzheng looked at the plan submitted by Fusu all over the court, and there was a smile on his face.
The content of the plan is actually very simple, that is, in order to manage the maritime trade of Daqin more effectively, it is recommended to set up a special management of import and export trade of the Daqin Customs Department, which is directly under the management of the Inner History Office.
One of the newly established things of the Ministry of Customs is to select a few excellent ports along the south coast of the Daqin River to open up the sea and promote the development of the surrounding economy through sea trade.
Ying Zheng, who likes to study the world map the most in his spare time, knows very well that in terms of distance, going to Persia and other regions is actually closer to the Jiangnan region.
It's just that the center of gravity of Great Qin has always been in the north, and the seaport that can be handled is just a Songhai city.
However, after the Grand Canal is completed, the economic center of gravity of Daqin will gradually shift to the Jiangnan region, and it is logical to select several ports in the south of the Yangtze River.
Not to mention, just shortening the navigation distance with the newly incorporated enclave of Persian County is enough to make Yingzheng make up his mind.
"The old minister thinks that what His Royal Highness said is indeed very reasonable, and now that the sea trade of my Daqin is developing very rapidly, just one Songhai City is already overwhelmed, and it is indeed time to expand a few more ports!"
"In the opinion of the minister, this will be a very good choice!"
"Even Nanhai County, you can think about it, according to the map, this is the closest to Persian County!"
"It is indeed a good choice to separate the import and export of maritime trade from the internal trade of Daqin and facilitate management. "
"After the establishment of customs, the tax rate of imports and exports can be set separately, and the income can also be increased a lot. "
The civil and military officials also spoke out one after another.
With the continuous development of Daqin's commerce, in order to keep up with the trend of the times, the civil and military officials have also made up a lot of knowledge about business in private.
"However, this customs is a brand new department, and there is a lack of talents in this area in the Inner History Mansion, and it still needs the support of His Royal Highness to support a few people. "
Nesten said with a smile.
As the Great Qin treasury gradually filled, he, an old bitter gourd who was famous in the court before, smiled more and more.
When people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the whole person looks a lot younger.
"The ministers seconded it!"
Meng Yi and the others also nodded again and again.
For the talents in the Fusu Prince's Mansion, they have long been very envious.
Xiao He, Chen Ping, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, these people who were unknown before, but after the excavation of Fusu, they all burst out with incomparably bright light.
There are also Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, etc., who are also good seedlings of generals.
It's so envious that I want to drool.
"You dug the foot of the wall, and you actually dug up to the side of the prince. "
"But the matter of customs is really important. "
"This prince also complied with everyone's wishes and nominated Xiao He to be the first director of customs!"
Fusu laughed.
Calculating the time, Xiao He has been following him for almost a year, and he has made rapid progress, so it's time to go out and practice.
After planning the overall situation in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, going to the customs to take charge of it alone can allow Xiao He to reach it earlier, or even exceed the historical level.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Nesten was overjoyed.
Xiao He's talent, his internal history of governing Su who often goes to the Prince's Mansion to ask for advice, is very clear.
Even Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Immediately, the smile on his face became stronger.
Li Si and Feng Qujian are already very old, but among the ministers in the court, the one who has the ability to take over the position of prime minister is Meng Yi alone.
Now that Fusu is willing to release Xiao He, there is no need to worry about the other position.
Moreover, the relationship between the two of them and Fusu is excellent, and there is no need to worry about conflicts after Fusu succeeds to the throne in the future.
For the successor of Fusu, Yingzheng is not satisfied, and he has long been paving the way in Fusu.
"Then what remains now is the question of where to open the sea and build a port!"
Ying Zheng smiled and glanced at Fusu Dao.
"Erchen thinks that since this opening of the sea is to promote the construction of maritime trade in Daqin, it is better to investigate some more areas, so that all counties and counties in Daqin can join in the discussion. "
"With the help of this team, maybe there is a better suggestion. "
"And it can also make the people of Daqin more aware of the importance of the ocean. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
How could he miss such a good opportunity to popularize ocean education for all?
Ying Zheng was suddenly more satisfied.
