Chapter 266: Yizhou

Although Wen Hui has not been in this era for a long time, she has read a lot of books, and she still knows that Yangcheng is the Guangzhou City of the later generations. This used to be a place where the people of Baiyue lived, and later, Emperor Guanglie wanted to fight Nanyang, so he naturally laid down the land of Baiyue first. Now this land of Baiyue is still on the territory of Great Chu, but this is nominally the place of Great Chu, but in fact, it has long been dissatisfied with the management of the Central Plains. It is still managed by a few large ethnic minorities in Baiyue, and it is still a tribal system. It's just that the emperor of the Central Plains is the main one. There are no officials sent by the Central Plains here, but they pay tribute once a year to symbolically give the court some local specialties.

Yangcheng in this Baiyue land is still a relatively developed place, because although there is no management of the Central Plains Dynasty here, there are many rich products here, such as some precious medicinal materials, some precious wood, etc., which are all needed by the Central Plains. The local people, with backward production technology, like the silk, tea, porcelain, paper and other items of the Central Plains, these two needs have created the place of Yangcheng, which has become a place for merchants and Baiyue people in the Central Plains to do business.

Now Yangcheng belongs to several large tribes to jointly manage, and there is also a king, that is, the king of Baiyue. It is still difficult to get the treasure in this kind of place that does not accept the king.

Wen Hui said helplessly to her brother: "Yes, it's Yangcheng, and the name seems to have not changed for hundreds of years." It should be there. Come to think of it, it should be a place like a port, and Yangcheng is also a port. It was also built by Emperor Guanglie that year. ”

Wen Jun nodded and said, "That's right, Shanghai City, Suzhou City." Yangcheng was built in the hands of Emperor Guanglie. Emperor Guanglie's things should be hidden there. ”

Wen Hui continued, "Then we can't go to find that treasure now. Actually, I'm not interested in continuing to look for treasure. You see, we've found two, what are they, first a chart. Then there are a few books, not even a jade bracelet, this is too picky, can this be called a treasure? It's really frustrating. ”

Wen Jun laughed: "Sister." Do you want jade bracelets so much? Another day, I'll ask your sister-in-law to make you a hundred, all kinds of things, but 10,000 jade bracelets can't be exchanged for these things, first don't talk about these three books, first talk about the nautical chart, if there is no nautical chart, can our sea trade be so smooth? Of course, there were no charts, and we fumbled for a few years. It shouldn't be more than ten years to be able to make a chart by yourself. But how many ships would have to be lost. Crew, what a cost will it take to open the route, and how many years and months will it take to recover the cost of the 10 million taels we invested. Right now. We paid back in less than a year, which is a huge profit. Think about it. All at once you have an asset of a million taels of silver. This asset is still making you money every day, and I believe that in the future, you will have a second one million taels, a third, a fourth, or even tens of millions of taels of silver. How many jade bracelets can you buy? We get more than this silver we see. We have a lot of properties in Shanghai, how much money can these industries bring us, just the rent, I think our family is enough to eat for a few lifetimes. Not to mention, because we did a good job in this matter, the family recovered the cost, and I have made a great contribution to the family, and our father's position as an elder is estimated to be gone. I will also get higher power in the family. Also, because we did a good job in this matter, the emperor also benefited, so naturally we looked down on the four princes, and in this way, the four princes officially had the opportunity to seize the throne. What a great result? ’”

Wen Hui thinks about it well, it seems that the things left by this Fusu are still useful, but I don't know what is in his treasure next time, is it still something that can bring her huge profits? Wen Hui's curiosity was hooked again.

Wen Hui asked: "When you say this, brother, I think my previous ideas were too biased and had no foresight." I want to know what's in the next treasure now, too? But how can we go to Yangcheng Lane? It's a bit dangerous to disobey the king. ”

Wen Jun thought for a while and said, "This is not in a hurry, after all, the treasure has been hidden there for nearly a thousand years, and I don't care about the late years." If we want to develop maritime trade, we must not only limit ourselves to Goguryeo, Silla and Wa, but also go to Nanyang. But to go to Nanyang, the road is too far, and there is no supply in the middle, so I decided on two places, one is Yangcheng and the other is Yizhou. ”

Wen Hui was a little puzzled: "Yizhou? Where is that? ”

Wen Jun laughed, took out a simple small picture that he carried with him, and pointed it out to Wen Hui, now Wen Hui understands, feelings, Yizhou is Taiwan in the previous life. This is indeed a strategic place, a treasure island, and Wen Hui really doesn't know much about this Yizhou.

Wen Hui asked: "Big brother, this Yizhou, I have seen it in books before, and they all say that it is a treasure island with rich products, but I don't know who is in charge now?" ”

Wen Jun said: "The current situation in Yizhou and Yangcheng is the same, both of them were fought by Emperor Guanglie at the beginning, but there are very few natives on Yizhou Island, unlike the natives in the land of Baiyue, after Emperor Guanglie conquered Yizhou, he migrated some people from the Central Plains. But, you know, at that time, the Central Plains had already experienced hundreds of years of war, and the population was very small, so naturally too many people could not be migrated. Therefore, at that time, Emperor Guanglie's management of Yizhou was not in place. After all, there are too few people. Now, I have heard from some businessmen that because Yizhou is close to the mainland, there are occasionally some locals who come out to exchange goods, and they mainly produce grain, and there is a very important thing, sugar. This was also left to them by Emperor Guanglie at the beginning. ”

Wen Hui is really speechless, this Fusu is really very large, and there are his shadows everywhere.

Wen Jun said: "It's just that because of the inconvenient transportation, the island's production has always been self-sufficient. If we open up this route first, so that Yizhou's material production capacity can come out, our things can be sold to Yizhou, which is also equivalent to one more way to make money. More importantly, in the future, Yizhou will be familiar with us, and if we can also establish ports like Goguryeo, Silla, and Wa in Yizhou, we will be able to supply our ships, so that we can go farther, Yangcheng, and Nanyang. ”

Wen Hui nodded, the eldest brother's plan is very feasible. Treasure Island has always been rich in products, if it is really like what my brother said, there has been no trade with the outside world for hundreds of years, there must be a large amount of demand, and there are also a lot of products for them to buy, so this is indeed a new way of wealth. Moreover, with the supply of Yizhou, the big ship will definitely be able to sail farther, reach Yangcheng, and reach the South Seas.

Wait until you take Yizhou first, and then plot against Yangcheng, and then Nanyang. Thinking of this, Wen Hui couldn't help but be ambitious, she was really proud, in the future, maybe her business could be done all over the world. That's really making money in the world.

Wen Hui seemed to see a golden avenue.

Wen Jun saw his sister's golden eyes, and said a little speechlessly: "Sister, are you thinking about how to make money again?" ”

Wen Hui was very excited: "Of course, what do you think about not wanting to make money?" Perhaps, I can make money all over the world in the future and become the richest man in the world? ”

Wen Jun rolled his eyes: "Sister, you are such a smart person, can't you have a bit of a high-level pursuit?" ”

Wen Hui's eyes widened and asked, "I think my pursuit is already very advanced, is there anything more advanced?" Earn money all over the universe? That can't be, the earth hasn't been explored yet? You can't even understand the universe? ”

Wen Jun frowned: "What is the money of the universe, up and down and left and right are the universe, and the time is the universe, can you still make money in space and time?" ”

Wen Hui put on a pretence, you are illiterate and said, "You don't understand this, right?" I mean that the universe is the stars, the moon in the sky, and it is to make money and earn it in the sky. ”

Wen Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes again: "Sister, sometimes you are smart, sometimes you are confused, where is there anyone in the cold sky?" No one, how do you make money. Well, don't say these nonsense words. Let me tell you another piece of news, do you know, why do you and your second brother work so hard to develop maritime trade? ”

Wen Hui asked: "Isn't it because you represent the Chen clan and the second brother represents the fourth prince?" ”

Wen Jun smiled mysteriously: "The Chen family is our family, but what did the Chen family give us before?" Why am I working so hard? Is your second brother so desperate for a friend? Because of our family, we have a 10% stake in the Chen family. That is to say, among these ten percent, you are one percent, our family is one percent, the princess is two percent, the emperor is two percent, the Ma family is one percent, and the old four are one percent. ”

"Ahh

Wen Hui's small mouth opened wide, it was really unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, no wonder everyone was so motivated, the feelings were for themselves, if it weren't for these profits, presumably, the Ma family, the princess, and their own family would not work so hard. In this way, it seems that my family is very cheap, and my own one percent is one percent of my family, and this is two percent.

Thinking of this, Wen Hui became happy. Who hates money?

Wen Hui asked with great interest: "Then when will we start going to Yizhou?" ”

Wen Jun laughed and said: "Hey, we are still too few people now, in fact, we can go to Yizhou now, but we don't have enough manpower, when we arrive at a place, we have to send some people over, and now, Goguryeo, Silla, and our country have our manpower there, among which the Wa Kingdom has the most." If we go to Yizhou now, we really don't have the manpower to send, in that case, the profits of Yizhou will go to the hands of the emperor and his family. I'm really unwilling, so I'm going to go back slowly. You have to eat one bite at a time. ”

Wen Hui thought so, why did her eldest brother become more and more old and scheming?
