Listening to Cui Wei's words, Zhao Xuexia couldn't refute it

Cui Wei said again: "You can say that those who dare to go south are naturally blocked by the water divisions of the various prefectures on Guangnan East Road, but there are also those who can't be stopped. A year later, when the place is stabilized, all the docks will be managed by reliable and trustworthy locals, and then trained, and someone can deal with it. ”

Zhao Xuexia said in a low voice: "Jiaozhi City needs money. ”

"Dye isn't money?"

"Slow."

Cui Wei shook his head: "The most valuable thing is never something that will be precious, but what everyone needs." The most important thing in the imperial court is salt. And not pearls, or gold or silver. The year before last, 22 million yuan of commercial taxes were recorded, and the salt tax alone accounted for 8.6 million yuan. ”

Zhao Xuexia was silent.

She had basically been convinced.

Cui Wei said again: "It's easy to make quick money. ”

Zhao Xuexia's eyes lit up: "How?" ”

Cui Wei smiled: "Go and grab it." ”

Zhao Xuexia had an angry look on her face, and she thought Cui Wei's words were a joke.

Who thinks, Han Yuan also said: "That's right, the fastest way to get money is to grab it." But at the moment, this method is not suitable, and the treasures on the side of the Great Yue Kingdom are even more unsuitable for exchanging money than wood, or it is too wasteful to melt them into gold and silver nuggets. So, there's a second way. ”

"What's the solution?"

Zhao Xuexia's eyes lit up.

Han Yuan pointed at Han Jiang, and Zhao Xuexia strode in front of Han Jiang, who was holding her chin and looking at the wood in a daze.

"Brother Jiang."

Han Jiang raised his head: "My method is more ruthless than robbing, once it gets out of control, the country will go bankrupt, because the money comes too quickly, so fast that overnight, a certain goods will rise a thousand times, and after a night, the goods are only worth a penny." ”

It's a scary statement.

No one who heard this believed it except Han Yuan.

Han Jiang continued: "Yuan Lao proposed to me that when the pepper seedlings are transported to Lin'an, someone will definitely copy the price of the high pepper seedlings, so it is better for us to copy them ourselves, I told Yuan Lao a story, about tulips." Han Jiang looked at Han Yuan: "Old Yuan, are you afraid?" ”

Han Yuan replied: "I'm afraid, if you enlarge the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will die." But it can be placed in the country of gold. ”

Han Jiang shook his head: "The Jin Kingdom can't do it, the Jin Kingdom can't die, at least not within ten years, the road to the rise of the Jin Kingdom Temujin will be smoother, and then we can't stop the Temujin, and the world will be ruined." ”

Liu Huai stepped forward: "Is it okay to put it in Goryeo?" ”

Han Jiang turned his head to look at Liu Huai: "General Liu, this trick can only be used once, I originally wanted to use it against the Jin Kingdom in ten years." ”

Liu Huai lowered his head and played with the handle of the knife, seemingly careless, and his tone also carried a hint of ridicule, but his words were ruthless enough.

Liu Huai said: "When my father died, he looked north and died. My brothers didn't plan to lie on the bed and die, Jin Guo, it's better to be hacked to death with a knife, if there is no bloody battle, I am afraid that the people in the future will be even more spineless. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Huai looked up at the sky: "It is rumored that a famous swordsmith in ancient times used a living sacrifice furnace when casting swords, and human blood was used to make good steel. I think that the hardness in the bones requires blood to seep through the iron bones. ”

Han Jiang could hear what Liu Huai meant.

Han Jiang said: "Okay, this trick can only be used once, after using it, Goryeo will be a slave, vote." ”

"Okay." Liu Huai knew that he did not have the right to vote in this matter, but he could be responsible for the subpoena.

None of the people present had the right to vote on such a major event.

Han Jiang touched it in his arms, and took out an envelope: "This is the draft of pepper futures, what I want to explain is that futures are not guilty, but runaway futures will ruin a country, and I can't describe the horror of it to you in words, and it just happens to borrow Goryeo to let you see with your own eyes the sin of playing with money." ”

One of the most terrifying in history, absolutely not.

Han Jiang is a copy of the blood-colored tulip.

One year, tulip bulbs in the Netherlands cost 1,600 guilders, and the next day, they were worth only 0.5 guilders.

Zhao Xuexia, who read Han Jiang's paperwork, was trembling.

Even several generals felt a chill in their backs.

This is the sin of playing with money.

Right now, the most perfect cargo has appeared, pepper seedlings!

Han Jiang stretched his waist: "This is no longer about cutting leeks and shearing sheep, this is the practice of digging up the roots and killing all the sheep, and the sky may be guilty." ”

Cui Wei's tone trembled: "Take it away, tap it." The time is also shorter, three months in Kaesong, Goryeo, the longest is three months, and the longest is three months. ”

Han Jiang smiled: "You guys can discuss, don't spread this matter to too many people, I'll go pick a few pieces of wood and a few stones for me, my eldest lady is about to give birth, I almost have to go back to Lin'an, and I always have to bring some gifts back." In other words, I didn't have the habit of bringing gifts home when I traveled all over the world. ”

No one talked.

Everyone's mind was on Han Jiang's article on the blood-colored pepper seedlings.

"Forget it, go home."

Han Jiang went home.

With two escort ships, two ships full of treasure.

Ninety percent of these riches were copied from the Jiaozhi Palace and the homes of the Jiaozhi nobles, and the official customs clearance document was written that the merchants of Guangzhou Prefecture paid taxes.

The gold, silver, coins, silk, and cloth from the merchants entered Han Jiang's warehouse.

Han Jiang's ship docked in Quanzhou and rested for two days.

Chen Fuliang saw Han Jiang and handed over two pieces of paper.

Han Jiang took it and opened it to see that one piece of paper was a chaotic number, and the other paper seemed to be a table, but it was blank. At Chen Fuliang's suggestion, Han Jiang aligned the two sheets of paper in a specific way, and then lifted them up to see that the numbers and tables formed a complete table.

"Five, half a million people." Han Jiang was taken aback.

Chen Fuliang nodded: "That's right, a small Quanzhou city now has a population of 500,000, which has not yet been counted, half of it is because of the people who fled from the Jin Kingdom because of the great burst of the Yellow River, and the other half are people who came from all over Fujian Road." ”

Han Jiang looked at other data, and his first reaction was that Quanzhou was about to collapse.

Clothing, food, housing, medical care, roads, etc. are all overwhelmed.

Each of these can break down at any time.

Han Jiang asked, "Can you hold on?" ”

Chen Fuliang said: "I can't hold it, but what can I do? ”

Quanzhou is mountainous, it should be said that the entire Fujian road is mountainous, and there are very few places to grow grain.

The grain consumed by 500,000 people in a day is almost 8,000 quintals of staple grain alone, and the grain output of Quanzhou as a whole is not enough to consume in a month.

Chen Fuliang said again: "There is enough grain transported from Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, but this matter will always be known by the imperial court, how can there be so much grain in Quanzhou?" When someone asks, there must always be an answer. ”

"Yes."

Han Jiang knew that Chen Fuliang was reminding himself that there were many things to be arranged in advance.

With a large number of foreign ships, there must always be a reasonable excuse.

Since Han Jiang is in charge of the city, it is within his duty to open up a treaty port, and as long as everything is reasonable, it can be explained above the court.
