Backyard...

It turned out to be a spacious river.

Although Songjiang Prefecture is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the water network is dense.

But it's not uncommon for a wide river to lead directly into the yard.

Xu Yi walked into the courtyard and saw clearly the world in the courtyard.

In this yard, a dock was actually built.

When Xu Yi saw this, he was a little difficult to understand why there was a dock in this warehouse.

On the side, seeing Xu Yi's shocked appearance, Xu Huai stepped forward and explained.

"This place is both a warehouse and a dock."

"From this river, drive south for about an hour, and you can drive to the sea."

"Sail the boat from Songjiang Mansion to Zhoushan Island in Ningbo Prefecture, and then transport the relay from Ningbo Mansion to Quanzhou Prefecture."

"Then take Quanzhou Mansion as a starting point and transport it to the hands of the Francois merchants in Luzon."

"After turning around like this, I will bring enough silver from the Franc Wharf in Luzon and return it to the hands of the Xu family."

"This is also the reason why the Xu family can eat so much of the silk share now."

"So, shopkeeper white, do you understand?"

Hearing this, the mystery in Xu Yi's head was solved.

Why was the Xu family able to become a black hole of silk.

Why did the Xu family have such a large amount of silver.

Why can't the silk black hole of the Xu family be filled?

Connect it all.

This question became a complete answer in Xu Yi's heart.

The Xu family smuggled silk overseas!

In the 16th century, the Spaniards began to extract large quantities of silver from the American colonies and transported it to Luzon via a large transpacific Manila route.

Based on Luzon, the Spaniards began to import silk, tea and other products from the Ming Dynasty to the sea.

The official historical record is 1560.

The Spaniards officially opened a large-scale trade and established a complete shipping route.

Now, it's 1540.

Spain's trade routes have not yet been established on a large scale, and the current smuggling is only a small fight.

Xu Yi understood the problem at this time, and an inexplicable joy appeared in his heart.

Its own industrial capacity would destroy the small-scale peasant economy, bankrupting a large number of artisans and turning them into displacements.

Directly bankrupt the Ming society, forming an unprecedented social crisis.

However, if Xu Yi exports his production capacity overseas, it will not destroy the original economic system of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Xu Yi also has a way to keep the silver from depreciating, so that the silver can fully circulate in all levels of society, and let the economy of the Ming Dynasty flow.

But that's not the problem.

The problem now is that Xu Yi can't control this initial route at all.

Now this route is in the hands of his enemy Xu Huai.

But now, Xu Yi wants to take this route into his own hands.

At the same time, we must not let this route be exposed to everyone.

In this era when the sea ban is still extremely strict, once it is discovered that the private smuggling overseas, it is the sin of the nine clans.

Xu Yi wants to get the route in his hands, but he can't let the rumors of the smuggling route be revealed.

Such a reality made Xu Yi a little helpless.

..

Xu Huai: "White shopkeeper, you go back and tell your father." ”

"Our Xu family now has this route, and we will soon be able to regain our strength and become the No. 1 wealthy family in Songjiang Mansion."

"Since Dad has left a back hand from behind, then let's not fight inwardly."

"Just with these silk Zhuangzi that my father hid, we added this route, and it was too easy to make money."

"White shopkeeper, since you have your father's token, it means that you are the core person by your father's side."

"What I said, please pass it on to your father."

Hearing Xu Huai's words, Xu Yi nodded.

Now I can't help Xu Yi, for Xu Yi's plan, this route must be won.

Xu Yi: "Don't worry, Master Xu, I will definitely tell the master." ”

"This route is so important. I'll definitely tell the master. ”

"The two-month supply plan remains unchanged, I will go back and tell the master, and I will give Xu Gongzi a reply before the supply next month."

"Young Master Xu Huai, I still want to ask more questions about the route and explain it to the master."

..

When the black cloth was removed from Xu Yi's head again, Xu Yi had already returned to the teahouse.

Everything that just happened was as if it had never happened in a dream.

However, all this in Xu Yi's memory is extremely real.

That smuggling route is a silk route, but also a money route.

Xu Yi's current three-step plan.

The first step was to eliminate all conservative forces in Songjiang Prefecture.

The second step is to establish a complete financial system in Songjiang Mansion, and integrate Songjiang Mansion into Xu Yi's economic circle and become the engine of Daming's progress.

The third step is to raise the civilization of the Ming Dynasty to at least the industrial age before the advent of FIB.

Each of these three steps requires a lot of money.

In particular, the establishment of a complete financial system requires a large amount of silver.

In order to accelerate the development of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Yi must take this route in his hands and obtain this black hole of production capacity for silk cloth dumping.

..

Taking the car home, Xu Yi now wants to visit someone.

Master Xu.

Xu Yuncai has been having a good time these days, planting flowers and raising vegetables with Yun Niang every day. Enjoy your middle and late life in style.

In front of Yun Niang, Xu Yu was well-behaved like a competent husband, carefully repaying the debt to Yun Niang for 20 years.

Yun Niang saw that the once unattainable Master Xu is now serving herself here, which is naturally very useful, and this is also the life she imagined.

is Xu Yucai's only wife, which is also the best destination that she, a woman in the feudal era, can imagine.

Of course, Xu Yu can be so "well-behaved", and naturally Xu Yi is manipulating behind his back.

Xu Yu is a high-ranking and powerful woman, a woman who has had a dewy relationship in her life.

If there are not a thousand, there must be five hundred.

A country woman like Yun Niang, for Xu Yuncai, is like sand on the ground, she can't be counted.

It's just that now Xu Yu is sending people under the fence.

Xu Yuncai could only follow Xu Yi's meaning and give Yun Niang a perfect dream.

Only in this way can Xu Yi give Xu Yu a bite to eat.

It can't be said to be a bite to eat, it should be said to be a rich and beautiful life.

Yu Niang didn't understand this, so she lived in a beautiful life.

Xu Yi understands that Xu Yucai, an old fox, is not worry-free material.

After decades of passing through Songjiang Mansion, if it weren't for Xu Yi and Xu Liu's sworn enemies, they tacitly pitted a wave of Xu Yuncai and forced Xu Yuncai to death into a desperate situation, so that Xu Yuncai, the old fox, could be caught in a cage.

Xu Yi now, if he wants to use Xu Yuncai's name, he has to give Xu Yuncai the right again.

Xu Youcai, an old fox, can be said to be an old fox in the cage, and he is a big tiger when he is released.

For the sake of his own plan, Xu Yi wanted to use Xu Yucai to control Xu Huai and take the trade route as his own.

If you want to achieve this, you have to fight with Xu Yuncai well.
