The revenue Zhou Chen said was the money he earned through the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

The establishment of the Imperial Court as a mutual market in northern Xinjiang is naturally not for the merchants in Daming and on the grasslands.

Whether the merchants of the Ming Dynasty rented shops in it, or the herdsmen on the grassland rented sheds in it, these all are required to pay money.

Although there is not much money for renting shops and sheds, there are at least a thousand in the entire Beijiang Mutual City Liutiaofang City.

From the day when the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market was established to the present, more than half a year has passed.

The silver needed for these shops and sheds has accumulated to everything, and the rent is less than tens of thousands of tael of silver.

Moreover, the rent of these shops and sheds only accounts for a small part of Beijiang Mutual Market’s revenue.

The real profitable place in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is the dividend taps for trading transactions. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is essentially the commercial tax levied by the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Court simply did not pay much attention to commercial taxation. It was only thirty-one.

Compared with the 15 tax 1 of agricultural tax, or even the 10 tax, the 30 tax can not be lower.

And Zhou Chen’s custom-made rule in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is that the profit-making party needs to pay a bonus tap to the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market on a 15-to-1 basis to serve as the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market’s Operating funds.

Of course, the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is not asking for this money in vain.

As long as the money is paid, all commercial transactions will be guaranteed by the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market.

Even when necessary, the one thousand households stationed in Beijiang Mutual Market by You Yulinwei will be dispatched.

Officially because of this, the merchants in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market did not have any conflicting attitudes. They all paid the dividend taps on time and on point.

Nowadays, the scale of this Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are countless daily transactions.

After more than half a year has passed, Beijiang Mutual Market has actually obtained more than 100,000 silver tael bonus taps in the transactions of these merchants.

After eliminating the daily expenses of the Beijiang Mutual Market, Zhou Chen intends to transport a full 100,000 tael of silver to the capital and hand it over to Emperor Hongzhi.

These hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver is definitely not a small amount. In addition to being drawn from You Yulinwei to a thousand households for escort, it is accompanied by the elites of Ba Dao and Bright Gown Guard. Zhou Chen just now Can be more assured.

And the reason why Zhou Chen personally waited in the main hall of the county government today was because he was waiting for the master book Wang Yan and the Qianhu deputies who were on a rotation in Beijiang to escort the silver couple to the county government.

As for the fact that Chen Yun and Xu Yan were able to destroy the White Lotus Religion in Datong Mansion overnight, they were simply not as expected by Zhou Chen before this.

Everyone sat in the main hall of the county government office and waited for about one hour. A thousand households from Wang Yan and You Yulinwei finally arrived in the main hall of the county government office.

Whether it is the felon escorting the White Lotus Religion or running that full one hundred thousand taels of Snow Silver, this is all things that should be done sooner rather than later.

So when Wang Yan and the You Yulin Wei Qianhu arrived, Zhou Chen did not delay any time. He directly led everyone out of the county office and began to check those escorts. The fleet of silver two.

And Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two Bright Gown Guard 100 households, led a group of Bright Gown Guard elites to return to the secret prison to extract the felons of the White Lotus Religion.

As soon as everything was prepared, this Youyulinwei’s Thousand Households was transferred to the Bright Gown Guard of a Hundred Households, and escorted the felons of Yinliang and White Lotus Religion to the capital. go.

After watching the caravan completely disappeared inside Youyu County, Zhou Chen returned to the county office.

Although there is Ba Dao, the top expert in the team, and the Bright Gown Guard led by Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the worries in Zhou Chen’s heart still exist.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen, as the magistrate of Youyu County, was not allowed to leave the place under his control without a transfer order.

So even if Zhou Chen is quite worried in his heart, he can only hope that Ba Dao and the others will have a safe journey.

In a blink of an eye, time flies quickly.

Counting days, more than a month has passed since Ba Dao and the others escorted Yinliang and White Lotus Religion’s felons to leave Youyu County.

According to the usual situation, in terms of the distance between Youyu County and Beijing, the past few days is the approximate time for Ba Dao to return.

On this day, Zhou Chen, who is free from trouble, is about to leave the county office to go shopping in the city.

One is to observe the people’s livelihood in the county, and the other is to soothe the depression in the heart.

After all, Ba Dao and the others have left Youyu County for more than a month, and during this period, no news came back. Naturally, Zhou Chen’s heart will have a lot of worries due to this. .

Only when Zhou Chen just walked out of the gate of the county government office a few steps, suddenly there was a burst of swift and crisp horseshoes on the spacious street.

Zhou Chen looked for fame, and saw dozens of riders galloping on the street, moving towards the county government office.

On the horseback, there are Eastern Yard fans who wear high hats, black gowns, official boots, and long bows on their backs.

As the Commander of the Imperial Court and also a Bright Gown Guard Qianhu Zhou Chen, he is not unfamiliar with the origins of these dozens of Eastern Yard fans. This is the elite force of Eastern Yard.

Whether it is in the court or in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, the black clothed arrow team is very famous.

The Eastern Yard black clothed arrow team, which can’t easily leave the capital nowadays, has actually come to the bitter and cold place like Youyu County. It is most likely that a special envoy from the capital has come.

Since there are already special envoys from the capital, should Ba Dao and Chen Yun, Xu Yan and the others also come back?

His gaze stretched back slowly, Zhou Chen finally saw the person he wanted to see in his heart.

Behind the dozens of black clothed arrow squadrons, there was a line of more than 100 Bright Gown Guard Tiqi wearing flying fish suits, who left from Youyu County to the capital more than a month ago. The Bright Gown Guard Hundred Houses.

In front of more than a hundred Bright Gown Guard riders, there are four tall horses with bright fur.

Of the four people riding on horsebacks, Ba Dao and Xu Yun, and Xu Yan, their three people are naturally needless to say.

The person who has attracted Zhou Chen’s attention is a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and no beard. He is dressed in a red robe and looks extra festive.

This middle-aged eunuch, I think he should have been a special envoy sent by Emperor Hongzhi.
