Tang Guanghui of Jinmingpu is the happiest, smiling, the people of Jinmingpu don't like to fight, they only like two things most, doing business and studying arithmetic. The idea of this new owner is too much to their appetite.

Chen Wenhui continued: "City Lord Ding, after you have introduced it, I think it's time to talk about how we will cooperate next?" ”

Originally, these words should have been said by Chen Wenjun, but because the people of the Hei family had said that they recognized Fusu's descendants as the main ones in order to fulfill their promise to Fusu, it would not be good to let Chen Wenjun come forward again, so she simply came forward by herself, although she didn't want to be the heir of Emperor Guanglie, but there was no way, the Hei family had already identified it.

Ding Chuan said: "Since we have recognized the Lord, in the past 50 years, we have listened to the instructions of the master, and our black family is not a person who does not believe in his word. ”

As soon as he said this, all the hall masters nodded heavily.

Chen Wenhui said: "Then I want to ask where your port is first?" It must be very secretive, so that it can remain secret for hundreds of years. ”

Ding Chuan said: "This port is in the south of Yizhou Island, a very hidden natural port, very large, our black family's ships, sailors, trade merchant ships are all there, we named it Feixia Port." Because when the ancestors of our Hei family arrived at that port, it was after a storm, and the sky was full of colorful clouds, and it was named Feixia Port. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "I want to go to Feixia Port to have a look." I hope that the city lord Ding will arrange a time. ”

Ding Chuan said: "There is no problem with this, it just so happens that before the Chinese New Year, we are going to send some people and goods to the overseas base, and we will also go to Feixia Port, this time it is the Black Knife Hall guard." When the time comes, let the Hall Master Huo of the Black Knife Hall arrange to go over and have a look. ”

Hall Master Huo said, "We expect to leave in five days. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Brother, are you going together, or do you want to go back to Xinguang City first?" ”

Chen Wenjun groaned, this port is a matter of importance. You must see it with your own eyes to be relieved, so he said: "In this way, I will let your sister-in-law go back to preside over it first, and I will go to the south with you to have a look." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded in agreement. Then he asked, "Where are your overseas bases?" Do you have a map? I'm going to see. ”

Ding Chuan hurriedly took out a large map from the cabinet, and then pointed it out and said: "Here, here, here, and here, we have built a city that can accommodate 100,000 people and a good port, and here is not only the city where the people of our black family live, but also the natives, etc., it is as prosperous as the Black Iron City." Here, here. And here we are still under construction, but the port has been built, and the city is still slowly being built. But it's already taking shape. It's just that the prosperous Cheng dù still can't catch up with the Black Iron City. Here, here, here. It's just that there is a port and some of our black family people there, and the city has not yet been built. There is also frequent friction with the local natives. ”

Chen Wenhui took a closer look, and basically those famous and excellent ports in the South Seas that Chen Wenhui knew had been occupied, including Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore in Chen Wenhui's previous society. Thailand, Indonesia and other famous ports, so that the ship can be guaranteed to reach the South Seas all the way to the supply point.

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "I want these strongholds to be open to our Chen family's merchant ships. In this way, our Chen family also participated in the trade of the South Seas. ”

Ding Chuan said: "There is no problem with this, this Nanyang is very big, rich in products, especially spices. Our predecessors of Heigetang have also discovered many mineral deposits in the South Seas. Where to open mines, there are even gold and silver mines, hehe, so, our black family is not short of money. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but roll her eyes. This black family is too deeply hidden.

Chen Wenhui said to the eldest brother: "Do we want to share our Nanyang route with the merchants of the Central Plains?" I'm a little unwilling. ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and thought for a while and said: "These strongholds on our chart are all necessary routes, even if we don't share them, they will reach these places in the future, at that time, everyone knows about it, but it's not beautiful." ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, so she said, "City Lord Ding, I want to discuss something with you." Regarding these ports, we can get the ships from the Central Plains to trade in the South Seas, so that your ports will have a large number of ships haunting and trading every day, and you will start collecting taxes, and our Chen family requires thirty percent of these taxes. Because of the ports and cities you built, you occupy the lion's share, but it's our Chen family who brought these merchant ships over, so we want 30%. ”

Chen Wenjun thought that this was a good idea, not only to enjoy the benefits of these well-developed Nanyang with the three families in the Central Plains, but also to make his own family not suffer.

The city lord of Ding discussed with the various hall masters, these hall masters are very shrewd professionally, but they are worse off for management, development, and business, such as the hall masters of Heige Hall, Meixiu Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Calligraphy and Painting Hall, because they don't understand these. The only ones who can participate are Black Knife Hall and Jin Mingpu. Black Knife Hall has always been operating in Nanyang, and it has the most right to speak, and Jinmingpu is the best at doing business. In the end, a consensus was reached and Chen Wenhui's proposal was agreed, and Chen Wenhui and Tang Guanghui of Jin Mingpu jointly worked out a standard and details of tax collection, and then began to implement it.

Chen Wenhui said: "Let's make preparations first, and my Chen family's merchant ship will follow your ship to the South Seas in five days to go around and bring back some goods from the South Seas, so that we can move the merchant ships of the Central Plains to run the route of the South Seas." We're really starting to open the Nanyang route, and I expect it in the spring of next year. Therefore, we must do these preparations in advance. ”

Everyone nodded.

Chen Wenhui continued: "In addition to the matter about sailing, I also need the Hei family to give me some more talents to manage our Chen family's industry. ”

Huo Jingcheng of the Alchemy Hall rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you just get dozens of people from us to go to Xinguang City?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I didn't know that there were so many people from your black family before, if I knew that there were so many people from your black family, could I just go to Xinguang City with so few people?" Our Xinguang City is in ruins now, and it is a matter of things, how can there be enough dozens of people? ”

Leng Lotian of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall said: "There are many people in our black family, but most of our manpower is in overseas strongholds, where there has always been a shortage of people, we have been encouraging childbirth hundreds of years ago, but it has not had much effect, our black family people do not pay attention to having children, but prefer to accept apprentices." So, we also have manpower. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned.

Huo Hongming said: "Xinguang City is in ruins, and we still have four or five cities under construction overseas. ”

Zhou Maocai said: "That's not all, not only do we lack the children of the black family, but we also lack our subordinates, for example, many of our mines can't be mined because of the lack of miners, even if they can be mined at present, the output is not large, because there are few people." We have a lot of black families, but the stalls are too big, and this problem has plagued us for hundreds of years. ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Why do we sell so much fertile land on Yizhou Island to you outsiders? Because we have too few people to grow it ourselves, if we can finish planting it ourselves, will we sell it to you at such a low price? If we have enough tenants, long-term workers, etc., one of our black disciples can guide the planting of hundreds, thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of land, then the land of our Yizhou Island, as well as a large amount of land overseas, can grow medicinal herbs, spices, seasonings, flowers, melons and fruits, vegetables, and grains. ”

That's just as well. Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "That's why I need the talents of your black family, and we need to cooperate." You have a lot of technical talents, a lot of land, mines, but you don't have long-term workers, no miners, but we have this, there are many, it's better for us to cooperate, you have disciples, we have miners, long-term workers, and then how about profit sharing? "This is a good idea, Ding Chuan and those hall masters think it is very feasible, after all, the purpose of cooperation is to develop together.

Ding Chuan asked: "Of course, then the problem that has plagued us for hundreds of years will be solved." We'd rather have less to gain. But where did you come from so many people? Don't you also lack people? It's about us borrowing people. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We are just the opposite of your situation, we are a lack of technical personnel, there is no shortage of ordinary people, you are short of people who are more technical personnel. ”

Ding Chuan nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense, but it's like this, so that the two of us can solve the problem by working together." But where do you get so many ordinary workers? Also, these people, who have not been tested, if they give us a few years of work, quit and divulge our secrets? ”

Huo Hongming of the Black Knife Hall said: "Well, did you bring the people from the Central Plains? Didn't they return to the Central Plains find out all about our overseas situation? ”

Ding Chuan said: "There are many people in the Central Plains, but this loyalty is not good. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled mysteriously and said: "I have a group of people in my hands now, about five or six hundred people, you can send these people overseas, go directly to the mine, and I will participate in the share of the mine now." These five or six hundred people can be used to death, and there is no need to return them, but the monthly money that should be paid still has to be given, so just give me this money. I arrange freely. ”

What do you mean by such bloody words, are you going to take the lives of these people for not your life, squeeze them dry, and embezzle people's wages? People are not allowed to return to their hometowns, does this mean that these people will work in the mines for the rest of their lives?
