Gao Pragmatic deliberately made a mysterious appearance, and showed a look in his eyes as if he had seen a mountain of gold, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ying Zhen, you are also a well-informed person in Beijing, do you know the news that the DPRK and China are talking about the flooding of the river, and the sea is going to reopen the sea and transport the grain by sea?" ”

Zhu Yingzhen was stunned at first, and then he was a little surprised, and hesitated: "I heard a little wind, but this ...... Isn't that unusual? I remember that almost every time Huang Pan was blocked, as long as it hindered the luck of Cao, there would be such a discussion in the DPRK and China. ”

The old god looked at him on the ground, just smiling, but not saying a word.

Zhu Yingzhen had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What, do you have more insider information?" Ah, yes, whether to insist on shipping or change to sea transportation, in the final analysis, this matter actually depends on what Gao Ge Lao thinks...... What's the matter, Gao Ge Lao has already made a resolution to switch to sea transportation? ”

How could Gao Pragmatic reveal his old bottom so easily? Of course, I had to continue to hang Zhu Yingzhen's appetite, and asked earnestly at the moment: "Brother Yingzhen, what if...... I mean, if it works, guess what we can do? ”

Zhu Yingzhen was asked by him, and immediately reacted, whether it is luck or shipping, it doesn't matter to them half a penny, in this case, why is Gao pragmatic mentioning this stubble? Is there any chance of making a fortune here?

But it's not right, it doesn't matter if it's shipping or shipping, it's all a fucking matter for Mr. Cao, and it's a matter for the imperial court!

Needless to say, Caoyun used all the shipwrights of the imperial court's own ships, and because of the intermittent shipping of the sea, in addition to the imperial court's own ships, they would occasionally be requisitioned from the private sector - of course, they would generally give some money. But the problem is, even if he really changes the sea transportation, it has nothing to do with him Zhu Yingzhen, and it has nothing to do with Gao Pragmatic, right, can he Gao Pragmatic suddenly conjure up a fleet in the south?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the highly pragmatic means are superb, and you really get a fleet in the south, this transaction doesn't seem to be profitable, right? Who doesn't know Mr. Cao's methods, these civilian fleets can get some costs from Mr. Cao's yamen, but I'm afraid they have to burn high incense, can he be pragmatic and force Mr. Cao to hemorrhage and spend hundreds of thousands of fucking taels to send food? I'm afraid that even the elders of the high cabinet can't suppress the impeachment of the officials like snowflakes!

But there is no hundreds of thousands of taels to make money, how can this guy Gao Pragmatic look like a god? You must know that although this guy is a gold hand, he is also a fortune boy, "300,000 taels of waving his hand", that is not a joke! Master, I have read the Ming Dynasty for nearly 200 years, and I have never seen such a heroic person.

Zhu Yingzhen scratched his head, used his brain to meditate for a long time, and really couldn't think of a good way to get a lot of benefits from his hands and get a lot of benefits from his hands here, and not to be sprayed into a soup chicken by the officials, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, brother, my ability in this kind of thing is really a little bit out of my hands." Pragmatic brother, do you have any clever plan to turn stones into gold, please speak up, if you continue to think like this, I will be bald young. ”

Gao Shishi laughed and said, "Brother Ying Zhen has been thinking about starting to transport grain from the fleet?" ”

"yes." Zhu Yingzhen looked dazed: "Didn't you say that the sea grain is sour, if you don't think about it from the fleet, it can't be from the land?" There are all kinds of grain roads in Nanjing, and we can't get involved. As for Jingshi's side, even if you can think of an idea to get it, how many ways can you get from Tianjin to Jingshi, just those few porters' money, I don't believe you can see it. ”

Gao Pragmatic smiled, snapped his fingers triumphantly, and said, "Brother Ying Zhen, there must be a little divergent thinking in this kind of thing to make money...... You might as well think broadly. ”

"What...... What kind of thinking? Zhu Yingzhen felt that his purse was tight, and said secretly: It's not okay to diverge, like your "300,000 taels of waving your hands", even if we become a national mansion, I'm afraid we won't be able to play a few times.

Gao Shishi looked at his nervous appearance and knew that this guy was thinking wrong, so he simply didn't show off, and directly introduced the topic, saying: "What the little brother means is that we can't just stare at that little bit of grain...... It's important, it's a lot of money, but if you really want to say how much it's worth, that's exactly what it is. ”

"Oh...... But since it's worthless, why are we talking about it? Zhu Yingzhen looked at a loss, and he couldn't keep up with Gao Pragmatic Thinking at all.

Gao pragmatic is not the road, the so-called medicine does not die of disease, the Buddha is destined to be a person, with Zhu Yingzhen's business acumen, it seems that it is a bit difficult to be sincere and kind, but I am afraid that it is more reliable to be enlightened.

So I didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "What we want is this road." ”

"Road? Where is there a road, is it not by sea? ”

"Uh......" Gao Shi stagnated for a moment, eager to smash his brain, isn't he usually quite smart, why is he stuck like this when it comes to doing business?

But there is no way, even if it is a pig teammate, this is an important teammate, and he can't be abandoned, so he has to patiently explain: "I mean, what we want is this maritime trade route." ”

"Business?" Zhu Yingzhen was even more inexplicable, and scratched his head fiercely: "Isn't it transporting grain, why has it become a business again?" ”

"This ...... Well, I'll explain it to you from the beginning. Gao Pragmatic was forced to be helpless, and began to talk to Zhu Yingzhen about a series of things such as population flow, ports, and trade routes from the beginning, and analyzed the business opportunities contained in them to him one by one.

Zhu Yingzhen was dazed at first, but then gradually became a little sudden, and in the end, when Gao Pragmatic laid out all the prospects in front of him, Zhu Yingzhen's expression directly became sluggish.

"Brother Ying Zhen? Brother Ying Zhen? Gao Pragmatic stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Zhu Yingzhen, for fear that this kid would be shocked and go crazy.

"Mother! ——" Zhu Yingzhen suddenly jumped up suddenly, his eyes were red, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Shiji's nose, stared at his eyes, took a deep breath, and stammered and asked: "You, you said that there are millions of taels of profits every year?" ”

At this moment, this extremely noble little grandfather in front of the person was already trembling even when he spoke.

Gao was taken aback, and quickly explained: "I mean that the prospect profit can almost reach this level, but I didn't say that it can be done now." ”

"A million taels?" Zhu Yingzhen seemed to have heard no other words, so he remembered this "millions of taels".

Gao pragmatic is a little speechless: Look at your virtue, decades later, Zheng Zhilong's business is much more scary than this, although our side is only a business road, and it belongs to domestic trade, but the north-south trade can do a lot, although it is much worse than the Daming One Piece, but as long as it is well managed, this Tianjin Port can obviously not only do the trading of the north and south of Beijing! From Tianjin to Liaodong, from Tianjin to North Korea, from Tianjin to Japan, it can be done! What is the fuss about a million taels a year.

Gao was pragmatic and helpless, so he had to mention these "Qian Jing" that had not yet been seen with Zhu Yingzhen, briefly analyzed it, and then asked him what he thought.

Zhu Yingzhen's eyes were already red, and after listening to Gao's pragmatic analysis, he slapped his thigh and said impassionedly: "It's done!" Whoever doesn't do it is a grandson! Then he hurriedly leaned over and took Gao Pragmatic's hand, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Pragmatic brother...... No, I mean, pragmatic, I'll leave the words here today, you will be my brother in the future, if anyone dares to get along with you, it will be with me Zhu Yingzhen, that is, with our Chengguo Mansion! Isn't it just Feng Bao? I'll go to his grandmother's, the old men of the Jinshi don't want to offend these bullshit 'internal ministers', our generations of nobles don't take them seriously! provoked us people, and ran to the emperor to make a fuss together, regardless of whether he was holding a pen or a palm print, there was only a dead end! ”

Gao pragmatically smiled.

My brother Ying Zhen, what I am waiting for is your words! Eunuchs, whether he holds the seal or the pen, is nothing more than a group of domestic slaves used by the emperor to suppress and balance the civil officials, but what is Xungui? That is a descendant who rests with the country and is truly one with the emperor!

Only with the emperor can there be honors, and only with honorable emperors can they be able to shock the world - they are the community of interests at the root!

With the Ming system, for a few domestic slaves who can be exchanged at any time, there are conflicts with the nobles? I'm afraid that this emperor's brain is not in water, but in urine!
