Shen Wansan and Ma Xiuying muttered for a while, making Yao Tianxi and Yuan Xing feel unbearable, the first four business scriptures have already made people applaud, and what is the content of the latter is worthy of Shen Wansan's willingness to pay a hundred percent of the benefits. It's a pity that the voices of the two people on www.biquge.info the other side are too small, they can only see Shen Wansan's eyes sometimes narrowing slightly, sometimes widening, his face suddenly getting carried away, suddenly disbelieving, and finally it turned out to be a broken and determined expression.

"Sister, what kind of experience did you tell Brother Shen?" Yuan Xing felt like a cat scratching in his heart, and he would definitely not be able to sleep at night if he didn't ask clearly.

Ma Xiuying smiled, "This is the experience that Xiao Sanhua bought with silver, and it is a trade secret, so I will not advise you." ”

Yuan Xing no longer asked, since my sister didn't say it, there must be a reason why she didn't say it, anyway, she wouldn't do anything harmful.

Yao Tianxi was suddenly a little unhappy, and he tried his best to tell him that this mood was not normal, but he was a little uncomfortable with the fact that Shen Wansan and Ma Xiuying would have a common secret. This abnormal emotion prompted him to break his principle of calmness and prudence, and repeatedly asked Shen Wansan what Ma Xiuying's experience was later.

But Shen Wansan only smiled and said, "It turns out that women's money is easier to earn than men", so he refused to mention it.

In fact, Ma Xiuying's experience later is far more than this, a private fundraising, and a general overseas trade are still shocking in Shen Wansan's mind. Any of these two experiences were contrary to the policies of the imperial court, so even in the face of a friend like Yao Tianxi, Shen Wansan was silent. There are some things that can be said to be unspeakable, and he dares to give it a go, but he can't implicate his friends.

If it had been placed in her previous life, Ma Xiuying would definitely not have put forward such a suggestion of knowing the law and breaking the law, but would have stepped up efforts to crack down on this kind of smuggling that harms the interests of the country. But the ruler of this life is a brutal Yuan people, since the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty does not care about the life and death of the Han people, then why should she protect the interests of the Yuan Dynasty?

When it comes to overseas trade, here are a few words.

The earliest development of trade between China and other countries was the Silk Road that began in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty once set up the Protector of the Western Regions to take charge of the affairs of the Western Regions. At that time, China's silk, textiles, and porcelain were exchanged for a large number of rare treasures from the countries of the Western Regions, and the merchants tasted the sweetness and were no longer satisfied with land trade, so they opened up sea communication arteries, which was the prototype of sea trade. However, the shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty failed to create large ships that could withstand the high waves of the sea, so sea traffic had to be close to the sea.

By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, foreign transportation (land and sea) was more developed than in the past, and the East Asian shipping lanes could already be extended through the Korean Peninsula to the islands of Japan. However, due to the political changes on the Korean Peninsula, merchants opened up a new sea route from Fuzhou to Ryukyu and from Ryukyu to Japan. The Tang Dynasty once set up a city envoy in Guangzhou to manage foreign trade.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the pressure of the Liao, Jin, and Yuan in the north, foreign trade depended entirely on maritime traffic near the coast. With the southward migration of the Song Dynasty and the southward shift of the economic center of gravity, the sea routes from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou and other places became increasingly developed, going farther and farther, from the South Seas to the Arabian Sea, and even as far as the east coast of Africa. Therefore, the Song Dynasty, as a dynasty of trade countries, although it has been beaten, the emperor still lasts for more than 300 years. Especially at that time, Japan's technology was backward and it could not mint copper coins by itself, so it directly imported a large number of Song coins. Due to the developed mining and metallurgical technology of the Song Dynasty, the quantity of copper coins minted was large, the quality was high, and the cost was low, so that the value of gold and pearls in Japan was much lower than that of Song money, so in addition to silk and porcelain, Song money also became a trade commodity. However, the large export of copper coins caused a serious money shortage in the society, and even reached the phenomenon of "Taicheng in one day, and suddenly there was no penny of small money in the city", which finally made the Song Dynasty lose its economic support and collapsed.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court began to ship grain by sea, and set up an institution in charge of overseas trade, the Xingquan Fusi. Due to the shortage of official ships and manpower, private boats were hired to transport them. Private boat owners often carry commercial boats and small clippers, that is, fake public welfare and private interests, and make a fortune by smuggling. Silk, tea, pottery, handicrafts and other specialties from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very popular overseas, and they can earn a huge difference in prices when they return with treasures, spices and medicinal herbs on their return trips, so that many boat owners have become very wealthy.

Ma Xiuying told Shen Wansan that the method was nothing more than to raise a large amount of money from the people, use the money to purchase silk, tea, pottery, handicrafts and other special products, use the money to buy the army's weapons and equipment merchant ships, and use the money to bribe the officials of the Xingquan Prefecture to let them go...... Then make a huge fortune by smuggling it by sea. This method is risky (to bear the risk of being shipwrecked, pirates may lose all their money, or the government will catch the head and go to jail), but the benefits are too tempting and deceptive, "successfully smuggle a boat, sit idly and wait for 30 years", then what about ten boats, a hundred ships......

As a matter of fact, smuggling is already a well-known secret in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and as long as there is a backer behind it, smuggling is not such a terrible thing.

Shen Wansan's father had already moved, but his focus was more inclined to buy a farmhouse, first, the national situation of valuing agriculture over commerce made him eager to get rid of the current embarrassing status of a businessman, and second, he did not have so much liquidity to use after purchasing a farmhouse. However, Ma Xiuying's private fund-raising to borrow chickens to lay eggs completely solves this problem.

When the goal was determined and there was a way to raise funds, Shen Wansan suddenly felt that his eyes were clear, as if he had finally walked out of a dead end, and in front of him was a golden avenue, leading to the sea, and the vast sea was not water, but gold!

Shen Wansan, who was full of excitement, couldn't wait to see his father and tell his father his decision, he believed that his father would definitely agree to this method, even if his father didn't agree, he couldn't stop his boiling determination.

Ma Xiuying stopped Shen Wansan, who was about to leave, took off the gold lock left by her father and the jade bracelet left by her mother, and handed it to Shen Wansan.

"What to do?" Shen Wansan was puzzled, could it be that Ma Xiuying had taken a fancy to herself? Want to give herself a love gift? This girl has a flexible mind and a good way to make money, but she is a housekeeper who can run a house, but her friend's wife can't be taken away. Shen Wansan looked at Yao Tianxi, and then at the golden lock and jade bracelet, and was very embarrassed.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but say, and stuffed things into Shen Wansan's hands, "This is my investment with Yuan Xing, in addition to the one percent that I said before, I will also pay dividends in this proportion in the future." ”

Shen Wansan's hands trembled, and he almost threw out the golden lock and jade bracelet, "You are too greedy, such a thing has to be counted as a proportional dividend?"

"You don't even have the original capital now, but I took out my wealth and risked a lot of money to invest in you, are you still not satisfied?" Ma Xiuying never thought of using the relics left by her father and mother when she was most depressed, because that was the only connection between her and her father. However, after experiencing life and death after a serious illness, she realized that these things are dead things, and only people can live to plan for the future. She doesn't have the ability to keep these things at all now, so it's better to mortgage them to Shen Wansan and redeem them in the future when she has the ability.

"Then I thank you so much for your attention. Shen Wansan was entangled, this little thing can be regarded as a wealth of the family? He has a lot of them, and he can't even give them away. But under Ma Xiuying's arrogant eyes, he reluctantly changed his words, "Forget it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, even if it is a ratio of 1/10,000." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, the pig head three will definitely cry to death in the future, at the moment he doesn't know what the proportion of one in ten thousand is, and when he is rich, he will know what one in ten thousand is, and it is more than enough to build a city.

"Brother Shen, don't throw away your sister's gold lock and jade bracelet, it's a relic left to her by her sister's father, and we will buy it back when we have money in the future." Yuan Xing's eyes were red, he knew how much Ma Xiuying attached importance to these two relics, and often touched them sadly, and now Ma Xiuying was willing to take them out for investment, but she must have felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Wansan fidgeted and spread out his hands, "Then I still don't want it, I'll help you with the investment money first." ”

"No, one yard is one yard, the brothers still settle the accounts, and things involving money must not be confused. There is no reason to borrow your money to invest and then use your money to pay it back. I am already grateful that you are willing to help us, and I can't let you suffer any more and go against the principles of the merchants. Ma Xiuying looked away and stopped looking at the gold lock and jade bracelet, she was afraid that she would change her determination to accept Shen Wansan's kindness, after all, it was the only thing her parents left for her.

Yao Tianxi took the gold lock and the jade bracelet and looked at it, the gold lock was shiny, the jade bracelet was smooth, and at a glance, he knew that it was often rubbed, and there seemed to be Ma Xiuying's residual warmth on it. His eyes darkened, and he carefully put it back into Shen Wansan's hand, "Miss Ma is right, since everyone is doing business, you must abide by the rules." Miss Ma trusts you, and don't let her down. ”

"It's still Brother Yao who understands my mind. Ma Xiuying smiled and came to encourage Yao Tianxi again, "If you have money to take it out quickly, I can tell you responsibly that you will not suffer losses in the future if you follow the investment of Xiaosan!"

The sentence "Brother Yao understands my mind" made Yao Tianxi's whole body feel comfortable, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. He looked at Ma Xiuying funny, he really didn't understand where she got the confidence to trust Shen Wansan so much. But her sparkling eyes, red face, and chirping mouth dazzled him, and he couldn't help but respond: "Okay, I'll give five hundred taels to invest in the junior." ”

"Good brother!" Shen Wansan was very moved, his brother is different, much more generous than Ma Xiuying.

But Yao Tianxu hugged Shen Wansan's shoulders and quietly made a request, to buy Ma Xiuying's gold lock and jade bracelet with silver, and he couldn't tell Ma Xiuying. He wanted to keep these two things for Ma Xiuying until one day he handed them back to Ma Xiuying.

Shen Wansan couldn't help but wonder if he was a little self-inflicted. Yao Tianxi obviously sealed his mouth with five hundred taels of silver, and when the time comes, Ma Xiuying wants to redeem the gold lock and jade bracelet, where can he change two of them? It turns out that the good brother is using him to fill the pit!
