Chapter 144 Sell First and Play Later, Imperial Concession

"It's a good one, it's useless! Very good. Ziming, come over too. ”

The steamed buns have already been brewed with tea, and after they are delivered, they stand under Liu Yu.

Liu Yu didn't do anything tragic and heroic of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold", the emperor thought that "the strong man will never return", but he knew that it was just "Dongdu Fusang made his name famous", and there was basically no danger.

Shi Shiyong saw that the steamed buns also came over, and knew that this must be Liu Yu's confidant, so he let go of his words.

"Lord Liu, but I don't know what to do when I go down?"

"Well, you don't have to do anything. Just let the people know your means. Have you seen "Three Kingdoms"? ”

Shi Shiyong smiled, who hasn't seen or heard of the Three Kingdoms?

"I wonder what the adults are talking about?"

"There are a lot of jokes about archery, which one is not popular? Zhang He shot the brocade robe, Lu Bu Xie Dou, Zhao Zilong shot the sail rope with an arrow when he went to pick up the prime minister, and Wei Yan shot the front teeth...... So many jokes, of course, can't be copied. For example, if you are outside, a bird flies in the sky, even if it is a magpie, you will say bad luck and shoot it down with a bow; If you are in the school field, you will come up with a few techniques such as Su Qin's back sword and three shots with one arrow. If you have the opportunity, you have to pretend, and if you don't have the opportunity to create the opportunity, you have to pretend. ”

"As the saying goes, pretending to be impermanent, forcing impermanence, using the wonders, and keeping one mind. This trick of pretending to beep, if you want it, I can't understand...... Do you understand? After you go, you're going to shoot the first bow in the Hokkaido. ”

Shi Shiyong didn't understand what the first "bow take" meant, but after a little pondering, he roughly guessed that this first bow was about the meaning of the condor archer?

After tasting the sentence "pretending to be impermanent, forcing impermanence, the use of the wonderful, and the heart is one", and said with a smile: "Adults can rest assured, this does not need to be taught by adults." I used to be a market ranger, and I still have this kind of brave and ruthless temperament. It's just that I've forgotten it all these years. ”

When Liu Yu heard that he had been a market ranger before, he knew it in his heart, and asked, "Then let me ask you, why do you want to go east to Fusang?" ”

Shi Shiyong is also a smart person, listening to Liu Yu just talking about the Three Kingdoms, he blurted out: "My husband is in the world and has made meritorious contributions; Meritorious service, comfort life. A certain person killed someone, and he couldn't make a name for himself in Chi County, so he crossed to Fusang. Uncle Jian, a Song person, became famous in Qin; Shen Gong, Chu people, also made meritorious contributions to Jin. I wanted to make a name for myself, so I crossed east. ”

Smack, smack, smack

Liu Yu clapped his hands and praised, the character of Xindao is almost the same, now that nearly a hundred years have passed since the Warring States Period in Japan, the armament is relaxed, and the samurai are definitely not as good as before.

Archery is the first skill of samurai from all over the world, whether it is China or Japan, the sword is only the last way.

Now Japan has restarted eagle hunting, which is similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "riding and archery-oriented", all in order to sharpen martial arts.

Whether it was the samurai class in China or the samurai class in Japan, archery was the first before the musket was completely superior. The archery chosen in the finch screen does not rely on a knife competition. The musket overwhelmed the bow and arrow, and the musket was the first.

The character used by Shi Shi is just right for mixing up in Japan.

According to this character, he is just a person who is not qualified to take the martial arts exam, so some things about the military system can be said to be ambiguous, anyway, it can be said that I don't know.

The exchange of Shi Shiyong for a trade license also serves as a window to open contact with Japan, so that more contraband can be sold in the future.

It's just a key, open the door.

The emperor not only said that there was no doubt about employing people, but also said that if he let him act cheaply, then he could sell more.

War horses, forged war books, buffalo horns made into bows, armor tablets, medicinal herbs, and seedling knives...... Any of these prohibited things can be exchanged for a trade license.

As long as you have a trade license, then what is not profitable?

As a dragon guard, why should those smugglers and Oriental maritime merchants in the south compare with themselves?

What others dare not sell, he sells; If others dare not carry it, he will do it; If others dare not change it, he will change it. Sell first and then play, royal royalty, this ...... It's Xingchen.

Ten war horses should be able to exchange for two trade licenses, and the profit will be at least 40,000 taels of silver a year.

The annual expenses of a line private are more, only thirty taels, and ten horses for 1,000 line privates, it is a fool not to do this business.

"In this way, the two of you know each other. This is my disciple Mi Ziming, this is Shi Shiyong. ”

After introducing the two people, Liu Yu knew that his time to take office was coming soon, and he needed to hurry up.

"When the time comes, when you go to Japan for the first time, Ziming, you can go. Let's put the matter of going to school for a while. You've learned almost the things you learned at the beginning, and I don't feel at ease if someone else goes. Brother Shi, you don't want to be in the capital, there are many people. In this way, you also pack up and go to Wenden first. I'll go to Wenden in a few days, and you'll look for me. ”

"By the way, it will take time for me to compile some fake military books these days. You go over there first, and by the way, help me check the local situation. ”

He believed in Shi Shiyong's ability, since he could find himself in the capital, he went to Wendeng with great fanfare, and it was easier to find it. And it is obviously similar to the role of the former Jinyi Guard, just let him help go to Wendeng to check first and get familiar with the local area.

"Are there any difficulties in life? Have you taken care of everything at home? ”

Although he knew that the emperor must have arranged it in advance, Liu Yu still took off his pants and asked like a fart.

"Lord Xie takes care of it, it's all arranged. What else do you need besides Chacha Wenden? ”

"Just in case, I also need to find a case of murder in Liaodong and other places a few years ago. Seamless and well documented. ”

"Understood. Then I'll go first, my lord. ”

After making a salute, Liu Yu returned the half of the token to Shi Shiyong, took the token, put on the hat, and left.

As soon as Shi Shiyong left, the steamed buns panicked first.

"Sir, let me do such a big thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well. There is no fear of death, but I am afraid of bad things. ”

Liu Yu smiled and asked rhetorically, "What are you afraid of?" Naturally, I looked for someone who had been to Japan, and you know the one named Lin Yunwen. ”

"Yes, I know. It's just that...... Will the Japanese people be aware? Or Lin Yunwen used to go to Nagasaki before, and the local Chinese businessmen must have recognized him, and they should have known that he came to the capital, so I was afraid of suspicion. ”

"Hahahaha......"

Liu Yu laughed when he heard this, shook his head and smiled: "The smuggling of the capital lords, who dares to ask?" Lin Yunwen went to the capital and went to the Wa Kingdom with the goods, obviously because the nobles of the capital wanted to smuggle. You don't have to be afraid, although the Japanese are not stupid, they can't imagine that anyone will have such an idea as me. Besides, even if you know, what can you do? To each take what he needs, they want to hunt martial arts and learn to ride and shoot; I want to trade cards and make money. Even if they knew, they would pretend they didn't know, as long as I could transport horses, horns, and the like, and I was the only one, and there was no other semicolon. ”

"Besides, isn't it normal for officials to smuggle? I seriously suspect that the sailors in Guangdong and Fujian do this on weekdays, but they are just timid and only dare to evade tariffs. Even so, there is nothing to doubt about it. You know it's a dead room, so you naturally think a lot, but it's nothing. ”

"You just go with the boat twice, sell goods, get some money, and talk about everything else. I'll teach you these things slowly, and when you come back, the first course should be finished, and then you will follow the normal path. Do not worry. ”

Saying this, the steamed bun felt a little looser. He had never done anything like this before, and he was really flustered.

Liu Yu was relieved again: "No one is born with it. With Lin Yunwen helping, you can rest assured. What is Lin Yunwen asking for? It's nothing more than money and profit. What the Japanese can give, I can give more, he is a smart man, I don't ask him to have any fancy arguments, as long as he is a normal person. ”

"Before Salhu, did anyone take the initiative to shave their hair and become a traitor? If the previous dynasty won the battle against Salhu, it would be the mainstream to take the initiative to tie up your hair and devote yourself to being Yiding. ”

The steamed bun smiled, and said in his heart that this is true.

"It's just that, sir, you have also told me about the Wa Kingdom. Saikaido is not small, although Shi Shiyong has the ability, can he do it after the name of the first bow of Saikaido? ”

"Learn to become a martial artist, and sell the goods to the emperor's family. Those who are really capable will not be on the rivers and lakes, but will inevitably be on the official face. The Japanese are not strong in cavalry and shooting, and the people selected by the emperor are naturally capable. Although Xikaido is large, can it be as big as Chixian Shenzhou? I said that Saikaido is the first to take a bow, but I am still modest. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, don't take this seriously. It just so happens that I'm here today, and the stars are shining outside, so let's learn the use of a sextant today. ”

…………

When Lin Yunwen saw Liu Yu again, he felt a little happy to fall from the sky.

The goods of 20,000 taels of silver, the capital is paid by others, and Lin Yunwen accounts for one percent, but it cannot be withdrawn for the time being, and it will be paid together after five years.

Such news is simply pie in the sky.

If you can sell 20,000 taels of silver in Japan, you will make at least 15,000 profits. This is not counting the goods brought back, if you can bring back sulfur and copper ingots, you will earn more.

Lin Yunwen suspected that he was dreaming, so he quietly touched the root of his thigh with the hand hidden in his sleeve, twisted it hard, and twitched his eyes in pain, so that he was sure that it was not a dream.

"Your Excellency...... This...... It's not difficult to go to Japan, but the hard thing is how to trade? ”

"Then you don't care, I have my own way. Is it nothing more than a trade letter? Money, I'll give it to you in a few days. Ships, sailors, you go to Ningbo and other places to recruit. Goods, get it done there. Drive the boat along the coastline to Wenden. I'll solve things like customs and inspections along the way. Is there a problem? ”

Lin Yunwen hurriedly shook his head.

Boats, sailors, it's all right.

The real difficulties are customs defense, inspections, and Japanese trade letters. These can be solved, as long as you worship Mazu, don't have an accident on the boat, isn't the money lying down?

"What do you want?"

"Hehehe, but you're here to ask me? What makes money and what you do. You know what to do, and I'll send a few men to follow. But there's one thing you think about. There are a lot of people who can go to Japan, and those who know Japanese, I go to Fujian and Ningbo, and I can find a bunch of them. The needle road song is not too difficult to find, and I don't take the sea route from Ningbo to Nagasaki, do you understand? ”

Lin Yunwen thought to himself, where do you still not understand? If you are not in Ningbo but in Fujian, I am afraid that this matter will not be my turn.

Now that Lord Liu has been promoted to the dragon ban, and he is in the family of the Duke of Yiguo, he doesn't hug such thick thighs, but thinks about others, isn't that crazy?

Naturally, this matter must be kept tight-lipped, although I don't know whether Lord Liu is an official or a smuggler for engaging in this kind of thing, he can't afford to provoke it.

There are people who can replace themselves. This first errand of my own must be done beautifully.

"Don't worry, the villain will get things done. It's just that the villain thinks that taking one percent is still too much, and the villain hopes that it can be taken thirty and one. ”

Liu Yu tilted his head, looked at Lin Yunwen, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're wise, and you know how things go a long way. Since you let it, I will also take a step, you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot. Take one out of twenty, and you will be allowed to participate in the shares in the future, and you will be the bow of the ship within five years. ”

"Thank you, sir! My lord, isn't that money faster, uh, faster? The New Year is coming soon, and the goods will be done as soon as possible. ”

Once the equity participation is allowed, the business is its own. How can you not be in a hurry when you are busy with your own work?

"Well, okay, let's wait a few days."

Liu Yu thought to himself, he must have no money in his hands, this business is too profitable, and it is not good to use his own family in the first batch.

This money must have been borrowed from the emperor.

Since it is to engage in smuggling, of course, it is necessary to find the biggest backer, and the emperor pays for smuggling, who dares to care? In the future, the smuggling will become a regular and become a maritime shareholder, and the Dutch will rob the business of the country's largest maritime group in Japan, and this country's largest maritime group will naturally let the Dutch understand what it means to interfere with free trade by government decree.
