Chapter 711: Each has a plan
Hangzhou wharf is divided into two ports.
Seagoing vessels mostly load and unload cargo in outer ports.
There, it is still some distance from Hangzhou.
The Han family and the Ji family both built their own independent docks and warehouses in the port, which were not too far apart.
The rest of the wharves were used by other maritime merchants and fanren.
These days, the Hanjia Wharf, which has been idle for more than a year, has been very lively, not only the sea ships directly under Han Yuan, but also the sea ships lent to others have been recovered.
Fifteen seagoing ships were parked in the harbor.
It's spectacular.
And the warehouse is even more lively.
The Han family not only sent all the goods in their weaving shop pΓΉ to the ship, but also bought a batch of them on a large scale.
Because of the rampant bandits, the maritime merchants could not run the ships, and the ships outside the fan were also few, and the merchants in Hangzhou had accumulated a large number of silk, porcelain, lacquerware and other things.
Prices have all fallen to half of what they used to be.
The Han family made a quiet purchase at first, and when someone found out, the Han family had already collected most of the backlog.
Then he began to mobilize the goods of his own store pΓΉ on a large scale.
Coupled with the sea ships coming from the port, half of the people in Hangzhou knew that the Han family was going to go to sea again.
It is still a large fleet led by Han Yuan himself.
At this time, the head was active, so he also hurried to prepare the goods, wanting to follow the fleet of Han Yuan.
It's just that it's still a step too late, and those that are easy to sell for money have already been bought by the Han family.
They had to go somewhere else to mobilize, and it would be too late.
I can only sigh at it.
The prince sat in the teahouse box by the dock, listening to the discussion of everyone below, only saying that it was a pity this time.
Unconsciously asked, "How many goods did the Han family prepare this time?" β
A person next to him lowered his hand and said: "There are 100,000 horses of silk alone, and then there are porcelain, tea, books, lacquerware, embroidery and other things, in total, I am afraid that there are nearly two million taels of goods." β
"If he can come back safely, how much will he earn?" Wang Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Well, not necessarily." The subordinates hesitated for a moment and said: "The Han family and the Ji family are the largest, but their situation, no one can find out at all, this time, it is because the Han family has acquired other goods, and the small ones can be estimated, however, according to the people of the Ye family, their family can earn 100,000 taels when they run a boat, and they can earn 100,000 taels when they come back, and according to this calculation, there should be at least 1.5 million taels for fifteen boats." β
"Double it again." Chu Zheng circled his fingers around the tea bowl and said lightly.
"Doubled? That's three million taels. The prince's expression moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
"If there is no such big profit, who would take such a big risk to run." Chu Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "The people of the Han family are not other maritime merchants, their profits will only be more. β
Fifteen sea ships, two million taels of cargo, even if he knew that Han Yuan personally led the team, Zuo Dao couldn't help it.
Don't talk about Zuo Dao, he is all red-eyed when he sees it.
"So, then, are we thinking of a way to ......" The prince's eyes lit up and he said.
Chu Zheng glanced at him with slanted eyes and said, "Do you have a way to take down the cold abyss?" Swallow these ships? β
"Then, we can join forces with Zuo Dao." The prince said softly.
"Do you want Chu Yu to know about your deposit?" Chu Zheng sneered and said: "Chu Yu let the left road come over because you exposed your bottom in the Donghai Shipyard back then, and now, do you still want to send it to the door by yourself?" β
Seeing that the prince's face sank, Chu Zheng turned his head, looked at the crowded dock, and said, "Besides, the person in Zuo Dao, everyone else's bowl will be snatched over, how can someone share it in his own bowl?" Zuo Dao has 20,000 sailors and 22 warships, and this time in order to swallow the cold abyss, they will all be dispatched, you say, what do you use to join forces with him? Do you have a ship and a sailor? β
"That?" The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Why does Han Yuan dare to go out?" Could it be that he doesn't actually know that the pirates are left? So you want to spell it out? β
"Do you know, this battle shows that Han Yuan is ready to fight with the bandits, even if he loses those goods and ships, he must pull out the bandits." Chu Zheng chuckled: "The Han family has its own shipyard, and a sea ship is only 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, and ten sea ships are 500,000 taels of silver, and the goods, I'm afraid that these are all made for outsiders to see, in fact, they are only a few hundred thousand taels, and they have lost a million taels, but they can clean up the sea route, and as soon as the financial road is opened, this idea of money will come back in a year." β
After thinking about it for a while, the prince smiled and said: "It is indeed a ruthless character, this is to fight to defeat both the bandits." β
"It's not a lose-lose situation." Chu Zheng said with a smile: "The Han family has its own shipyard, and it is easy to build ships, but where do the ships of the pirates come from?" If Zuo Dao can't prove that the Han family is a sea bandit, then he can't explain how his ships were lost, let alone use the government to build new ships, at least for five years, this sea route will be safe. If Han Yuan wasn't powerful, you could have been operating in Jiangnan for so many years, which would not be enough for him for fifteen years? β
The corner of the prince's eyes twitched, and he sank and said, "In this case, why does His Highness have to follow the county lord on the boat?" Isn't it good to let them hit? β
With the county lord here, Zuo Dao cannot testify against the Han family.
No wonder after Jinling lent the house to the county lord, the Han family began to act.
It's been a good idea.
"I just want to make a fortune again." Chu Zheng said lightly: "If the Han family wants the county lord to testify with me, they will inevitably have some blood, and I don't want more, they should still be able to afford 500,000 taels." β
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the prince and a man who had been waiting in the corner without making a sound, Chu Zheng said coldly: "That's on the sea, what we want is just a dispute between Zuo Dao and Gu Mohan, which makes Gu Mohan and Chu Yu lose their hearts, as long as the county lord is frightened, don't give me a moth, if something really happens to the county lord, believe it or not, Gu Mohan is not only looking for Zuo Dao, this Hangzhou Mansion will also turn the bottom upside down, at that time, you can't wait for Gu Mohan and Chu Yu to turn their faces!" β
"Hehe, naturally not, it will definitely not make His Highness a little dangerous." The prince laughed.
But there was a hint of disdain in his heart.
That person has already set up the game, and what she wants is to kill three birds with one stone.
Not only did the left road and the cold abyss die on the sea, but also the life of the county lord.
It's Gu Mohan who wants to check, what can he find in this Hangzhou Mansion?
Chu Zheng glanced at him indifferently, got up and said, "In this way, I will go, you can do it yourself." β
Hangzhou Inner Harbor.
A sea passenger ship docked at the wharf, which was smaller than the sea ship but much larger than the inland ship.
"Okay, Zisu, you give me a good life at home, and the things we talked about first." Gu Xinyue patted Yuan Zisu's arm and said softly.
Although she is well prepared to go to sea this time, the danger factor is still very high, Yuan Zisu doesn't know any martial arts, and on that sea, if something happens, she can't protect herself.
It's better to stay and guard the fleet with Peony.
"I know, you have to be careful." Yuan Zisu tidied up her cloak and said softly.
"Sister, I'm here! We're ready to get on board! β
From afar, Chu Zheng ran over with an excited face.
Yuan Zisu smiled slightly and retreated.
watched Gu Xinyue and Chu Zheng get on the boat, and watched the boat leave little by little until it disappeared out of the port.
Fang sighed lightly, turned around and walked back.
"That's ...... Yuan Zisu? In the crowd watching the excitement, someone let out a low exclamation.
