The exhibition of treasures from the Kingdom of Shanghai came to an end.

All the gold and silver were carried to two special rooms, which were specially watched by the guards of the Chu Palace.

"Lord Wang, all the people who didn't get the goods have paid all the money, and the specific amount is still being counted."

Kujou was even more excited than Li Kuan, and today's auction refreshed his cognition.

"Although the accurate figure is still being counted, it should be more than 3,000 catties of gold and more than 50,000 catties of silver, which is only a lot more."

Wang Xuance combined the price of the auction and the quantity of the goods to roughly calculate today's receipt.

"So much? Wouldn't that be able to bring back a million taels of silver this time? ”

In terms of gold and silver, Li Kuan is still a little unaccustomed.

One pound is sixteen taels, Li Kuan probably converted it, and found that the harvest was really amazing.

"Lord Wang, the main thing is that those porcelain and mirrors are too popular, especially mirrors, a glass mirror, can be exchanged for more than a dozen catties of gold, it's just ...... It's ...... The Japanese people are really not poor at all. ”

"If wealth is judged by gold and silver, the kingdom of the Japanese is naturally not poor; But in terms of material terms, the country of Wa is poor, and it can't be poorer anymore; The value of the same tael of silver in the Wa Kingdom is completely different from that in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"That's right, just like you said, there are gold and silver mines, and after hundreds of years of accumulation, there will be no shortage of gold and silver."

Although Kujou Shinichi was next to him, Li Kuan and Wang Xuance had no intention of avoiding him.

Judging from Jiujo's recent performance, he just wants to get off Li Kuan's ship, and he has no chance.

If it weren't for Li Kuan's protection, it is estimated that the Kujou family would soon be divided and cleaned up by the Su family's organization in the Wa Kingdom.

Shinichi Kujo also has a clear understanding of this.

"Lord Wang, in fact, there are many local domains in the Wa Kingdom, and the feudal lords in various places also have a lot of wealth in their hands, and this goods, even if they come once a month, can be sold."

Kujo took the initiative to help Li Kuan with advice.

"Kujou-kun, your information is very important. In this way, you take 5,000 catties of silver from the proceeds of this auction, and we will set a rule in the future, but you will be responsible for handling all the goods transported by the king's fleet to the Wa Kingdom, and in the end the king will give you half of the money. ”

It's not profitable to be early, why Jiujo hugged his thighs, Li Kuan naturally knew in his heart.

I don't really think that my domineering spirit is coming.

"Lord Wang, half of it is too much. The prince needs to take a big risk to transport the goods from the Tang Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom, and the subordinates can take half of it. ”

The wealth is moving, but Jiujo is still sober-minded, knowing that only by holding Li Kuan's thighs, he has many ways to make money from other places, although the trade income is very large, but this money is hot and difficult to take.

"Okay, those who know the times are Junjie, Kujo-kun, if you encounter any problems in the Wa Kingdom in the future, you can ask this king for help. Nambatsu there, this king will leave a group of guards there in the future, and this number will slowly increase, and when you have a problem, go directly to the semicolon of Namba Tsu East Sea Fishery. ”

After coming out, he earned almost one-tenth of Datang's financial income, this kind of thing, but it is more addictive than sucking Wang Wu, and Li Kuan naturally will not give up easily.

"Lord Wang, there is one thing, I don't know if I should mention it...... " Kujou pondered for a moment, his expression a little tangled.

"Say, there's nothing to worry about, this king will be ready to leave in a few days, and any problems will be unified and solved."

"Whether it is porcelain, whale oil candles, or glass mirrors, how much they cost in Chang'an City, many of the Tang envoys who sent them this time understand. The price difference here is huge, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people will go to Datang by themselves. ”

As soon as Kujo said this, Li Kuan knew what he was worried about.

In fact, I am also thinking about how to monopolize such a business.

Monopoly is the most profitable at any time.

"Hmph, Kujo-kun, with the current level of shipbuilding in the Wa Kingdom, if you can send you to the Tang Dynasty, you have already gathered all the shipbuilders from all over the country to build a ship that can go to sea, right? You must know where this shipbuilding workshop is? ”

"The subordinate naturally knows, in fact, the main shipbuilding workshop is in Nambatsu, and there are some small workshops in other places, but basically only some small fishing boats can be built."

"When you come to Nambatsu from overseas, you basically have to pass through the waters of Wakayama, right?"

Li Kuan was weighing in his heart while confirming some news.

"That's right, the ships, the king, Silla and Baekje all took this sea route, but in fact, you can also get there by taking the Naruto Strait across Wakayama from Wakayama, so you have to make a detour."

"Okay, this king understands, don't worry, within this year, a group of pirates will arrive on the island next to Wakayama, and these pirates will attack the shipbuilding workshops in Nambatsu. In the future, if you tell the branch of the Tokai fishing industry in Nambatsu that you can make seagoing boats or large fishing boats, someone will naturally deal with it. ”

In this year, Li Kuan didn't bother to talk about human rights with the Japanese people, and these shipbuilding workshops endangered the interests of the fishing industry in the East China Sea, so naturally someone would make it disappear.

Kujou's heart trembled when he heard this, but he was even more determined to hug his thighs.

"Also, you find an opportunity to remind you of the dog and the people who have some status among the Tang envoys, there are some things that can be said, and some things that are said are not beneficial to anyone. If someone doesn't obey ......"

"Lord, don't worry, if someone dares to spoil the prince's big business, the subordinates will go and clean them up."

Except for Inoue Yamada's status, which was originally higher than Kujo in Nara, the other Kujo didn't pay attention to it at all; Now that he has hugged Li Kuan's thigh, if the dog dares to get along with him, he is confident that he can deal with it.

"One more thing, this king wants to ask, is there a place called Iwami in this Wa country?"

Today, being hit by so much gold and silver reminded Li Kuan of the famous Iwami Silver Mountain in the history of the Japanese Kingdom, which was a super silver mine that occupied one-third of the world's silver production at its peak, and he must find a way to control it.

As long as Iwami Yinshan can be developed, Li Kuan can consider promoting monetary reform in Datang.

Today's Datang still belongs to the chaotic situation of Kaiyuan Tongbao, silk, cloth and other materials acting as currency, with the continuous development of Dengzhou's commerce, this limitation is becoming more and more obvious.

If you can promote silver and gold coins, it should change this situation a lot.

As for the further introduction of banknotes, Li Kuan felt that it was a big step or forget it.

"Iwami?" Kujo thought for a while, "I haven't heard of a place called Iwami near Nara, but in the western direction near Silla, there is a Iwami country. ”
