Chapter 331: Great Ming Iron Master
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were scorching, and his eyes were staring directly at Yan Chengjin.
The price of raw silk in Jiangnan has dropped, what does Yan Chengjin do when he buys raw silk? Also, why the price of raw silk suddenly dropped, he couldn't understand.
"What do you buy raw silk for?"
Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "The minister wants to weave silk, and when the loom is made, Liangxiang will become a silk land like Jiangnan." ”
An hour ago, he was still distributing rice in Liangxiang, but was recalled to the palace by His Majesty.
Yan Chengjin had long intended to let the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce enter the silk business.
If you want to squeeze into the top ten chambers of commerce, you have to get involved in the three major businesses of the Ming Dynasty, silk, tea and porcelain.
However, the price of silk has remained high, and the silk produced in this way has no advantage compared with the Hui merchants and the Jin merchants.
And the silk business was controlled by Jin merchants and Hui merchants, and he couldn't buy so much raw silk if he wanted to.
Now, it's a good opportunity to get in.
Emperor Hongzhi said worriedly: "The price of silk in Jiangnan has dropped, even if you weave silk, you can't sell it." ”
"Your Majesty, if Liu Jin can take the big ship back, the price of silk will rise." Yan Chengjin said calmly.
Even Wang Shouren can't exterminate the Japanese invaders, and after this batch of exterminations, there will be new ones.
The solution to the problem of the Japanese coars,
There is only a ban on the opening of the sea.
Overseas trade was of great interest, not to mention the franc machine and the great eaters like silk and porcelain.
The island countries closest to the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu and North Korea, all have huge demand for goods.
Their handicraft industry is extremely backward, and the technology is far less developed than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty needs to provide materials.
Huge interests will breed batches of pirates.
With the opening of the sea ban, merchants were free to enter and trade overseas.
There is no need for the Japanese to exist.
At this time, if there is any more suppression by the imperial court, the Japanese will soon weaken.
The expression on Li Dongyang's face gradually turned to curiosity, and he said, "What does this have to do with Liu Jin?" ”
Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "The war between the guards and the Japanese in the southeast has caused panic among the merchants, and when they settle down, the price of silk will rise." ”
This is certainly not due to belligerence.
Instead, after Wang Shouren withdrew from Jiangnan, a new Japanese would soon appear.
At that time, the price of silk will rise sharply.
It depends on how quickly Liu Jin takes the big ship back.
The Cabinet and the six ministers were thoughtful.
Han Wen had a worried face, the prices of the three major commodities in Jiangnan have dropped, which will definitely affect the tax revenue of commercial tax.
"It seems that it all depends on Liu Jin."
Unexpectedly, the imperial court sent people to level the Japanese, which would also affect the price of silk.
In the past few days, Emperor Hongzhi and the six cabinet ministries have paid attention to the sparse performance submitted by Jiangnan and anxiously waited for Liu Jin's news.
Liangxiang Yamen,
Zhang Xian gathered the gentry of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce.
"Liangxiang wants to set up a weaving factory, you can look at the shares."
The gentry looked left and right, their eyes hesitant, and they had long heard that the price of silk had dropped.
Instead, he entered the silk business at this time?
Xie Yu secretly thought in his heart that since he joined the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, his family fortune has been rising as if he had been lucky.
It's just that he couldn't understand it this time.
Wang Busui did not hesitate: "As the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, I am the first to enter." ”
The other three gentry thought about it and decided to make a symbolic investment of one hundred taels of silver.
Two days later,
Yan Chengjin glanced at the credentials, Wang Busui had the most shares, 50,000 taels of silver, and he was afraid that his net worth would be suppressed.
Xie Yu and the other gentry had little income, only a hundred taels of silver.
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"You can make a lot of money with the young master, and the villain wants to give it a go." Wang Busui said with a smile.
Silk is the three major businesses of the Ming Dynasty!
If the Chamber of Commerce started a silk business, how much money would he make?
Wang Busui was happy.

maritime
Liu Jin estimated that he was about to arrive in the island country.
Zuo Zongyi was a little frightened, and saw in the telescope that large and small boats were parked on the dock, "It's all Japanese robbers..."
Liu Jin took the monocular and said compassionately: "This is the country of the Japanese, of course it is all the Japanese people, Lord Zuo, you can choose a name yourself." ”
Zuo Zongyi thought for a while: "This official is called Zuo Zonglang." ”
"We are the big boss, Nicholas Liu Jin, you are the second master, Zuo Zonglang, Tianbao is the third master, Tianbaojun, we are robbers, don't show your stuff!" Liu Jin said.
Zuo Zongyi took a deep breath: "Can't you see that this ship is theirs?" ”
The warrior monks changed into the clothes of the Japanese and wore turbans around their heads, but they were not recognizable even if they looked at them.
Armed with knives, guns, and clubs, needless to say, they will automatically be classified as pirates.
Half an hour later, the boat stopped at the pier.
Liu Jin saw hundreds of large and small ships, more than the port of Songjiang Mansion.
"My lord, those three big ships!" The guard was pleasantly surprised.
The three big ships, which are very conspicuous in the port, occupy many positions like a hill, and Liu Jin can see them at a glance.
"Kill the ship and get the boat back!"
"Kill...... Kill the past? ”
Zuo Zongyi was so frightened that the corners of his mouth twitched, you really dare to say it, as far as the eye can see, there are widows everywhere.
"Or ...... Let's talk about it first. ”
"We're the Wokes! Why be afraid of them? ”
Liu Jin pretended to be a widow just to grab the ship.
As far as Wang Shouren knows, the Japanese are also divided into many forces, and the Japanese compete with each other, and the rest of the Japanese will not interfere.
The imperial court encircled and suppressed, and they would be unanimous with the outside world.
"Listen to us, sail over!"
As the two large ships approached, the monks jumped out of the boats and slew at the three ships, who were taken by surprise.
Liu Jin got off the boat with a stack of comics, saw a few children squatting on the shore, and said with a sad smile: "Little doll, read a book, don't want silver." ”
The boy took the book, opened it and looked at it a few times, and was immediately attracted by the picture, and crouched on the ground to look.
Liu Jin touched his head and walked away.
After walking a few hundred steps along the house, he finished the cartoon in his arms.
"Your Highness said that 200,000 copies will be distributed." Liu Jin secretly counted and only sent twenty copies.
How do I finish the comics?
With a bitter face, he found out that this village is called Sugaura Village, and there are more than 3,000 people in the village, and each person can't finish a book......
"I'm a wolf, where is your chief here?"
"You...... You mean B name? The villagers were terrified.
Is the governor of the island country called Oto?
Liu Jin has the experience of traveling to many countries, and he quickly reacted, maybe the governor of the island country is called Yiming.
After a while, a thin old man walked up, armed with a sword at his waist.
"Your Excellency looking for me?"
Liu Jin was happy, dragged a big box over and said, "Help us send these comics, and we'll give you silver." ”
Kiyohachiro's eyes were full of suspicion, and he flipped through the comics and looked at them a few times, and was attracted by the words and pictures in them.
When the villagers heard that they didn't want silver, they took the initiative to come and get comics.
On the three large ships, there was a sound of killing.
The Japanese were stunned, this group of "Japanese robbers" who appeared out of nowhere, all of them were strong in martial arts.
Zuo Zongyi led more than 200 warrior monks to snatch back the three big ships, and was about to set sail to leave, but found that Liu Jin was missing.
"Where's Father-in-law Liu?"
"Send a manga ...... in the village" Karate.
Zuo Zongyi was so angry that he stomped his feet, the pursuers were about to come, and he really wanted to leave Liu Jin in the island country, but he saw Liu Jin running back in a hurry.
"Quick! Bring all of our comics down. ”
"Move your mother's legs! Get on the boat quickly, kill so many pirates, and the government will come in a while. Zuo Zongyi blushed anxiously.
Liu Jin cried with a sad face, he wanted to leave, if the 200,000 comics were not finished, where would he dare to return to Daming.
"Don't be afraid, let's leave after the comics are sent, this is His Highness's will."
Zuo Zongyi was so angry that he almost fainted.
