After a period of chaos, King Yu came out with joy on his face, asked people to go to the Qian family restaurant to buy, and beckoned Qian Yuan and Gao Gong to eat hot pot together...... It must be noted that this time I went with silver.

It has been more than a month since Qian Yuan's first visit, and he has tasted once that King Yu is extremely dissatisfied with the craftsmanship of the chefs in the house, and he has to eat the dishes of the Qian family restaurant every three or five times.

For this reason, Gao Gong is now a little unable to shake in front of Qian Yuan...... Shame on me, teaching such a student!

Feeling the hot eyes cast by King Yu, Qian Yuan couldn't help but turn his head, your wife is pregnant...... It really has nothing to do with me!

Qian Yuan and Gao Gong, who turned their heads, glanced at each other and couldn't help lowering their heads, this old man was obviously agitated after knowing that the student's wife was pregnant, and his eyes were a little wrong.

Qian Yuan can also understand that Emperor Jiajing has not made a prince until now...... It is likely that there will be no prince, once King Yu has a son, his status will not be shaken, even if he is born a daughter, but it also shows that people can give birth.

"Zhan Cai's words become a prophecy, and the chaos will be rectified in the future." Gao Gong held a wine glass, "I want to show my talents and help a lot......"

The high arch is more subtle, and King Yu is a little direct, bounces over and asks: "Zhancai, what day do you say Lonely......

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......" Qian Yuan coughed desperately to interrupt King Yu's words, and the high arch on the side frowned, and King Yu immediately retracted.

Both of these goods have the same meaning, or ...... If you come again, you will talk about King Yu's blessing and Qitian, maybe Ming'er will be able to ascend the throne......

Hey, before Yuwang wanted to talk about making money, Qian Yuan had to change the topic, but now Yuwang wants to ...... Qian Yuan had to pull the topic back, but it was also in his plan.

"It's hard to make wine...... In other words, it is difficult to make sake in large quantities, partly because the secret recipe must not be leaked, and secondly, because it consumes a lot of food. Qian Yuan said carefully: "There is another reason, in contrast, the grassland tribes prefer this kind of wine, but not everyone can sell the wine to the grassland." ”

King Yu didn't know anything about this, so he could only look at Gao Gong, who thought for a while before asking, "Zhan is talking about Jin Shang?" ”

"Yes, they have always been like this, buying and selling large quantities of goods with the grassland tribes, and it is difficult for outsiders to get started." Qian Yuan explained: "Even if we get through the link of the Jin merchants, they will not let us directly participate in it, but sell the wine to them, but the price will be ......."

Its practical business vocabulary in later generations is just one sentence, Jin merchants have grasped the sales channel, and if you want to sell wine to the grassland, then you must pay high channel fees.

"What about the soap and bath beans?" Yuwang was a little deflated, but he also knew the severity.

"Who wants to buy it if it's expensive?" Qian Yuan said mercilessly: "If you sell it cheaply, you must make money in large quantities...... Then the recipe will not be kept, and the big head will definitely not fall into our hands. ”

Gao Gong held chopsticks in his hand and took a piece of paper-thin mutton in the copper hot pot, changed color, and then picked it up and dipped it in some sauce and stuffed it into his mouth, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qian Yuan, who was like a river in his mouth and sincere.

"Alright." Gao Gong put down his chopsticks, "Zhancai said bluntly, the old man and His Royal Highness are not outsiders. ”

King Yu's eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "Zhancai, you are a lonely lucky star, you have something to say, what a bend." ”

Gao Gong sneered: "Your Highness, you can't blame Zhancai, he looks like this in front of His Majesty, he speaks sideways, and is cautious." ”

"The father is the father, and the lonely is the lonely." King Yu's face was slightly stiff, and he didn't have anything to say about Emperor Jiajing's blessing...... Later, Emperor Jiajing died, and Xu Jie's pen-holding edict almost scolded Emperor Jiajing as a dog, and King Yu may secretly rejoice.

"In fact, the key to doing business is that no one has me, no one has me, and with the loyal shopkeeper and man, there are shops all over the world." Qian Yuan said carefully: "The minister can provide the secret recipe for the soap, but does His Highness have such manpower?" ”

King Yu immediately shook his head, there was already a shortage of manpower in the palace, and the few people who were regarded as his confidants were all from Hanlin, who would take care of the affairs.

"But there is a way, you don't need too many people, you only need to take a little risk, but once you succeed, it will be a hundred times the profit......"

Halfway through Qian Yuan's words, the wine glass in Gao Gong's hand was heavily placed on the table, his face changed, he lowered his voice, and shouted: "You mean Haimao?!" ”

Qian Yuan was not surprised that Gao Gong saw through this, although he had never shown it in front of him before, he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, what's wrong?" ”

"The imperial court strictly forbids the sea, if you want to die, don't drag His Royal Highness King Yu into the water......"

Since the destruction of Ligang and the invasion of the southeastern parts of the country by the Japanese invaders, the governor of Zhejiang Province has the soldiers and horses of the six provinces in his hands, and the topic of maritime trade has not appeared in the DPRK for a long, long time, even officials with vested interests in Zhejiang and Fujian do not dare to mention it.

As a Fujian, Li Mo is said to have had a lot of complaints about Zhu Kun back then, but after the recovery, he encountered the southeast Japanese rebellion, and he has always strongly supported the southeast Japanese suppression.

"Uncle Shi, listen to me." Qian Yuan said slowly: "My father and brother participated in the sea trade as early as ten years ago, of course, they didn't go to sea, so I know the benefits very well. ”

"Generally speaking, it is risky to go to sea, but the profit is extremely high, and the tea and silk sold to the Wa Kingdom for ten taels of silver are at least forty taels of silver."

"There are large and small ships, and if you calculate it in terms of tea and silk, a shipload of goods will generally not be less than 1,000 taels of silver."

King Yu listened very carefully and calculated, "That is to say, one thousand taels of silver for one trip, and four thousand taels of silver for a round trip?" ”

Qian Yuan shook his head, "Your Highness doesn't know, the Wa Kingdom is different from the Ming Dynasty, silver is expensive and gold is cheap, and the goods of ten taels of silver are sold to the Wa Kingdom for forty taels of silver, exchanged for gold and brought back to the Ming Dynasty, and then exchanged for silver for about three hundred taels of silver." ”

Yuwang listened and listened as he became short of breath, and his nostrils were thick...... Gao Gong on the side was quite speechless, his own student, hey, blame Qian Yuan for bringing His Highness badly!

Qian Yuan didn't give up, and added another fire, "In fact, the profit is much higher than this ratio, many ships sell goods to the South Seas, and ten times the profit is considered small, and then go to the Wa Kingdom on the way back...... When I returned to the Ming Dynasty, I directly used a box full of gold as a ballast stone. ”

King Yu no longer hesitated, and resolutely turned his head to look at Gao Gong.

"No way." Gao Gong immediately shook his head, "It's not that you don't believe in Zhancai, but it's that it is absolutely impossible for the DPRK and China to open the sea and ban trade now." ”

"Master Gao, I remember you also said before that it is not a good thing to enforce the sea ban." King Yu rarely talked back to Gao Gong, "Now who doesn't know that there is a shortage of money in the court, the southeast is in turmoil, the southwest Tusi, the northwest earth dragon turned over, and was plundered by me, if there is silver, ......"

The more Yuwang said, the more energetic, "Heaven and earth produce wealth, have their own fixed number, take it systematically, use it sparingly, and then be rich; If you don't take it and use it sparingly, you will be lacking. ”

"Master Gao, I don't think this is right, if the money has its own fixed number, then how can the money exchanged overseas be calculated?"

Qian Yuan had to look at King Yu with admiration, he had seen Zhang Juzheng's recital before he asked for leave from the Hanlin Academy and went south, "On the Political Sparseness of the Times", Zhang Juzheng also held the view that heaven and earth make money, and he has his own fixed number, but he didn't expect King Yu to ......

Perhaps this is the origin of the later Longqing switch, that is, from the beginning of the Longqing switch, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty had a legal status.

During the Longqing, Wanli and Apocalypse years, one-third of the world's silver poured into China, and more than 70% of the world's overseas trade was related to China to a greater or lesser extent.

Gao Gong and King Yu are fighting back and forth, both of them are blushing and their necks are thick, the former is not prejudiced against sea trade, otherwise the later Longqing switch will not be able to be implemented, but it is very clear that the current wind direction and the general environment do not allow the lifting of the sea ban and allow trade.

But King Yu now has the consciousness of treating the world as a bag...... Well, it's mainly the courage that his wife's pregnancy gave him.

Daming is already full of holes, and there is no silver...... I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore, a few years ago, I was able to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and now the east wall has no bricks to tear down. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
