Chapter 737, it's back to basics?

Ceylon, in the Lion City City Lord's Mansion, Hu Xian, Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang were lying on comfortable chairs, carefully looking at this luxurious City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike the Ming people, who were subtle and low-key, the Persians were very fond of flaunting their wealth and power, and the same was true of this Adar.

This small mansion is decorated with extravagant carpets from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the walls are covered with gold sheets, and inlaid with a large number of precious stones and jade.

The blue and white porcelain ornaments from the Ming Dynasty, the thick ivory, the beautiful corals, and the whole tiger skin, almost exhaust everything they have, as much as possible to decorate the magnificence.

Now it's all cheap, Hu Xian them.

"Tsk, these Persians are really not subtle at all, and they are so luxuriously decorated, and I don't know how much silver we can get from this lion city."

Zhu Benduan looked at the luxurious City Lord's Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty wished that everyone did not know that I was rich, and these Persian merchants wished that the whole world knew that they were rich, which formed a stark contrast.

"Soon I will find out, I estimate that we can get a lot of money from the Lion City alone."

Feng Xiang smiled and said, this feeling is really wonderful.

Relying on powerful force to directly conquer a place and take the wealth that others have worked hard to accumulate as one's own at once, this kind of capitalless business seems to be the highest state of business.

"Now it's just an appetizer, Chen Lin's side has already attacked the city of the Middle Easterners, and after sweeping the Middle Easterners and Arabs out, we will have a foothold here, and the next thing is the main event."

Hu Xian smiled, it was unexpectedly smooth, and he took the Lion City of the Persians almost effortlessly, and the cities established here in the Middle East are similar to the Lion City, and it is estimated that they will be taken down soon.

In an open space in the City Lord's Mansion, boxes were constantly brought in, and there was an account room with paper and pen that was constantly recording in detail, recording in detail every loot obtained here.

The ledger room is constantly recording here, and there are also several people writing separate ledgers next to it, gold and silver are weighed, and gems, jewelry, coral, ivory, jade and jade are numbered separately for detailed records.

Even the gold and silver obtained here had to be melted down, numbered, and finally shipped back to the Ming Dynasty.

Everything you get here, a tiger skin, a sheepskin, has to be recorded clearly? This was true even of the Persians, who were reduced to slavery.

Is the Western United Commercial Bank a joint-stock trading house? The major commercial banks have contributed capital, so they also attach great importance to the income, and every shareholder has sent someone over? Supervise the actions of the United Western Firm? What is more important is to record the income of the Western United Commercial Bank.

Every bit of wealth obtained here belongs to the Western United Trading Bank, and it needs to be distributed uniformly at that time.

Not only the shareholders, but also the soldiers sent people to supervise, and they also had shares, according to the original agreement.

What do you get on this side of the island of Ceylon? These soldiers who participated in it also have a share, the wealth obtained here, the land? Have their share? Even if you die in battle? This share will also fall on their children.

Of course, correspondingly? Nothing they can hide here? What if someone is found to be hiding? The consequences will be very severe, and the punishment will be very terrible.

"Golden 20,000 Taels"

"Silver, 500,000 taels"

While weighing, someone also shouted out, there are too many things looted here in the Lion City, gems, jade, ivory, pearls, corals and other things are not easy to calculate the value, so they are all numbered separately, and they will be handled uniformly after returning to Daming.

However, gold and silver are more convenient to count, and they can be weighed directly and the weight can be calculated.

Boxes and boxes of gold and silver were constantly weighed, and soon the combined value of gold and silver exceeded 700,000 taels of silver.

"Twenty thousand taels of gold?"

"More than 500,000 taels of silver?"

Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang and Hu Xian also came over when they heard the voice, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, more than half of the scale has been weighed so far, and in addition, our people are still digging three feet into the ground, and I believe that we can still dig out some gold and silver."

"In addition, the gold and silver here in the City Lord's Mansion have not yet begun to be scraped off, and there are these gems, jadeites and the like, the value is difficult to count, and it is only numbered at present, and it will be uniformly valued after being brought back to the Ming Dynasty."

Master Hu, who was in charge of this matter, saw the three of them coming, and quickly nodded back.

Master Hu is not a person under the command of the three of them, but a person sent by the four seas merchant Bao Chunyang, who is responsible for the financial affairs of the Western United Commercial Bank, and can be regarded as the financial director of the company in the future.

"How can we say that what we have gained here in the Lion City alone is enough to pay for itself?"

Feng Xiangleng paused, thought about it and replied.

"Yes, the wealth gained here in the Lion City is enough to pay off, and there is still money to be made."

"There is not much gold or silver here, but the real value is the precious stones, jadeite, ivory, coral, pearls, and so on, and I estimate that these things may be worth more than five million taels of silver."

"In addition, we have captured about 12,000 Persians, and sold them as slaves to Nanyang, and they can be sold for at least 20 taels of silver, which is also a matter of more than 200,000 taels of silver."

"In addition, we have seized more than twenty ships of the Persians here in the harbor, and there is a large amount of cargo on them, which can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"All kinds of calculations, here in the Lion City alone, we can almost get more than eight million taels of silver."

Master Hu said very seriously while looking through the account book.

He is from Jiaxing, Jiaxing's master is famous, all aspects are very detailed, the accounts are also clear, and his valuation will never be wrong.

"Eight million taels of silver?"

When everyone around heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless, and then looked at the mountains of gold and silver around them, boxes and boxes of jewelry, jade and jade, gem coral, etc., and they couldn't help laughing.

"Can you find eight million taels of silver worth of money in this big place?"

Zhu Benduan was dumbfounded, he is also a person who has seen the world, when he was a salt merchant in the past, this silver also came in like a rolling river.

But he couldn't believe that this small and big Lion City was able to scavenge up eight million taels of silver.

Isn't this money coming a little too fast, and too much?

Eight million taels of silver, not eighty thousand taels, not eight hundred thousand taels, but eight million taels of silver, this is simply unbelievable.

"Could it be a miscalculation?"

Feng Xiang'er Research Institute was slightly dumbfounded, this is too much.

One or two million taels is about the same, and I can't believe that this whole huge number comes out.

"You can't be mistaken!"

"Gold and silver can be seen, they can be weighed, and they are very good."

"The gems, jadeite and jade here are the top, especially the gemstones, many gems are extremely precious, the value is very high, like this sapphire, the size is large, the color is pure, there is no trace of flaws, it is shipped back to our Daming, casually sell a hundred thousand taels of silver, it is a very easy thing."

"And these jadeite, you see, such a top-level imperial green jadeite is immeasurable."

"This island of Ceylon is located in the center of the main transportation route, and almost all the good things in the entire Western region are gathered here."

"The Persians are extremely good at business, and their merchants are flooded in every corner of the Western region, and doing business at sea is naturally very profitable."

"So it's not surprising that you get a lot of possessions here."

Master Hu said very confidently, he is an old man of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, not only is the account management good, but also has become a pair of fiery eyes, good things, he can recognize them at a glance, and he can also estimate its value.

"Haha, okay, I'm really rich now"

"It's just a small lion city, and when you conquer the city of the Middle East, wouldn't it be easy to get more than 10 million taels of white clothes?"

Feng Xiangzhi nodded, and then laughed happily.

This business can be done, and it is a profitable business.

They had just arrived in Ceylon, and they had not only paid for themselves, but they had also made a lot of money, simply and easily, and it was too quick and easy to make money compared to the hard work of doing business at sea.

"Yes, yes"

"I finally understand why Tian Erniu wants to attack the two Golden Continent Kingdoms, it's too profitable to do so."

Zhu Benduan couldn't help but sigh, a profitable deal really came quickly.

"Haha, I'll just say, we should learn from Liu Jin, learn from Tian Erniu, they never talk about etiquette and shame overseas, as long as they can solve things with artillery, they will definitely not bother to speak."

"You see, this is just a small lion city on the island of Ceylon, the world is very big, what if we can take the whole island of Ceylon?"

"Or maybe in the future we conquer Burma?"

"And this Tianzhu in the north, so huge, with a lot of kingdoms, what if we can conquer Tianzhu?"

"And then how great will we be able to get it?"

Hu Xian's face was full of smiles, the harvest here in the Lion City proved that he was right, his idea was right, this is an era of supporting the bold and starving the cowardly.

If you want to get rich, you have to conquer the whole world like a robber.
