When Jia Xu returned home from running errands outside, he heard that His Royal Highness had recruited another capable person, and he was very arrogant, so he borrowed two million taels when he opened his mouth, saying that he wanted to help His Highness make money, and His Highness agreed.

Sometimes Jia Xu wonders, what kind of courage makes His Highness believe in the people who come to take refuge so calmly? Li Kui... Li Yuanfang... And now this Shen Wansan, he is not afraid of whether they are spies or not, and whether they will betray.

Is this confident, or bold?

But after thinking about it, when he had no reputation and took refuge in His Highness, he boldly asked to drink Golden Dragon Koi Fish Soup, and His Highness directly accepted it, and tried his best to do it.

"This may be the reason why we vote in good faith!" Jia Xu seemed to have an understanding and nodded approvingly.

Just as soon as he ate in the dining hall, he saw the newly refuge Shen Wansan eating fast, and the food was not very beautiful, so Jia Xu's eyebrows were raised. I won't recruit Li Kui No. 2 again.

Xiao Rui saw Jia Xu coming back, and hurriedly introduced a few people to each other. Then Xiao Rui continued to ask Shen Wansan: "Old Shen, why are you so downcast?" There are only two copper coins left on your body, you say you like to do business, is it possible that the business has not been successful?"

When he said this, Shen Wansan sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know, the villain is a native of Wuxing Nanxun, who started a family business in the local area, and then used the local developed waterways to do business, and also earned a lot of wealth, and the family business is quite large. But it's a pity that he offended the government, and finally ended up scattering his family wealth to save his life. At that moment, the villain understood that if the officials and businessmen did not tie up, how could they make the business bigger and stronger? So I came to the capital, ready to find the biggest official collusion. It's a pity that he met hungry people halfway, so he took out the silver to give alms, but he didn't expect that the wealth could not be exposed, so he was found by the gangsters and finally robbed it. But this is also a blessing, at least his life was saved. ”

Xiao Rui said he didn't want to speak.

Coming to take refuge in yourself is for the collusion of officials and businessmen? But it makes sense!

"When you come to the capital, who does the villain want to take refuge in? I heard that the people praised His Royal Highness's kindness, and they were able to come up with a strange trick to take money from the family to help the poor through auction, which made the villain clap his hands and come to take refuge. I didn't expect that as soon as I saw His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness trusted the villain so much, and really agreed to the villain's rude request, this trust, the villain has nothing to repay, and he will earn countless gold and silver for His Highness, and repay His Highness's kindness! Speaking of this, Shen Wansan's eyes were full of enthusiasm.

Xiao Rui asked, "After you get two million taels, what are you going to do business?" ”

"Overseas Trade!" Shen Wansan suddenly became excited, and said: "This is a plan that the villain has long thought of, with Zhouzhuang as the center, go east to Shanghai, south to Zhejiang, and transport the porcelain, silk, grain and handicrafts from Suzhou and Hangzhou to the Great Yan Kingdom, the Great Wei Kingdom, and even the Nanyu Land further south, and then from there, the jewelry, ivory, rhino horn, spices and medicinal materials will be transported to Daxia, so that although it takes a long time, as long as you go out to pave the route and negotiate the price, it will be carried out on a large scale in the future!" Now that the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Yan Kingdom have formed an alliance and launched trade exchanges, it is more conducive to southward navigation. Through this strategy of competing for wealth, you can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth! ”

"Of course, the villain also knows that the sea route is dangerous and the road ahead is boundless, but the villain has recruited a lot of crew members who are proficient in navigation, and the villain is fortunate to get a nautical chart, which can be said to be everything ready, only the start-up capital is needed!"

Xiao Rui nodded approvingly, because he knew that Shen Wansan in his previous life had earned a lot of money through overseas trade, making him the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, with a full 20 million taels of silver, and also helped Zhu Yuanzhang repair the city wall, which can be seen.

Now that he has come to this world, his unique vision has once again found this way to make a fortune.

The chamber of commerce of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is not that there is no maritime trade, but the maritime trade is not so easy, if you are not familiar with the sea routes, there is no accurate navigation chart, once there is a problem, it is the ship is destroyed and people die, many chambers of commerce have tried, so they gave up this choice to get rich, and would rather transport it by road, trekking through mountains and rivers.

"Maritime trade is extremely difficult, you said you got the nautical chart?" Jia Xu asked.

Shen Wansan nodded and said: "There was a navigator in Nanyu back then, who set out from Nanyu, passed through Great Wei and Dayan, and came to the Great Xia Kingdom. Later, countless chambers of commerce competed for this nautical chart, but they didn't know where to go, and the villain got it by chance! Over the years, it has been kept a secret and dare not be revealed to anyone! ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "But two million is not enough, you have to buy porcelain, silk, and rent a ship, the sailing ship is not easy to rent, because they are also afraid that the ship will be destroyed and the ship will not be able to come back, so the rent is almost equivalent to buying, two million sounds a lot at first glance, but the funds are still not enough!" ”

"Naturally not enough! But I've figured it out! Shen Wansan said: "Your Highness held a charity auction last time, and you have some connections with the top ten chambers of commerce in the capital, I don't know what the relationship is with the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce?" According to the villain's plan, it is to unite with the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, and they will provide ships and personnel, and we will prepare the goods and share the profits, and the base camp of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is in Hangzhou, which is just suitable for cooperation with us. ”

Xiao Rui and Jia Xu looked at each other, hey, what do you really want, the money leopard is the young owner of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, it seems that this maritime trade is decided.

"Wei Guang, you go for a trip and call me the money leopard." Xiao Rui commanded.

Wei Guang responded and went immediately.

Shen Wansan was overjoyed, "Your Highness knows the young owner of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and Jia Xu smiled: "It's not just acquaintance, Mr. Shen, your trade plan is stable." ”

Shen Wansan suddenly felt excited, and there was indescribable joy in his heart.

When the money leopard came, Xiao Rui pointed at Shen Wansan and said, "He wants to use the financial resources of your Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to organize maritime trade, you talk to him, and give me an answer after chatting." ”

Qian Leopard raised his eyebrows, and immediately communicated with Shen Wansan in detail, both of them are business wizards, this chat is quite late, if it weren't for Shen Wansan being his father, the two almost bowed.

After chatting, Qian Leopard said respectfully: "Your Highness, you can rest assured, the villain hereby guarantees that the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will use all its strength to assist Mr. Shen in completing the maritime trade, and the profits of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will not take anything." ”

Shen Wansan secretly admired this kid's courage, and it seemed that he was also loyal to His Royal Highness, so he was willing to spend his blood.

Xiao Rui is very satisfied with his attitude, businessmen tend to profit and follow the trend, this is true, but you also have to have brains and courage, the money leopard may not be able to pass the imperial examination, but this courage is not small at all, no wonder the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce can do so big, I believe that his father is also a powerful person.

"How can the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce only contribute and not make money? This king is not so stingy. Lao Shen, you and the money leopard have full authority to dock, profit distribution, all up to you, after this year, after his imperial examination, he will start to carry out a big plan of maritime trade! Xiao Rui made the final decision.

"Yes!" Shen Wansan and the money leopard hurriedly surrendered their hands.

Afterwards, Gao Quan took Shen Wansan down to rest, and the money leopard said respectfully: "Your Highness, I just heard Mr. Shen talk about the matter of two million silver, do you need the villain to find a way to turn around?" ”

Xiao Rui asked, "You Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has such a large cash flow?" ”

"Naturally, there is, but villains don't have such a big right. But Your Highness, please rest assured, if Your Highness needs it, the villain is a young owner after all, and he can still do it. The leopard said respectfully.

Xiao Rui got up, patted the leopard on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "No, this little money is a piece of cake for this king, and your mind is received by this king." How do you read the question book lately? ”

"I've been carrying it, Your Highness rest assured." The golden leopard said respectfully.

"Very good, go down and keep up the good work!" Xiao Rui said.

Only then did the leopard retreat.

There were only a few people left in the hall, Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, and Wu Zhanfa.

Peony wondered: "Your Highness, is there still money in the palace?" ”

Xiao Rui glared and said, "I don't know if I have any money?" You shut up for me, don't mention any steamed bread petals in half to eat, besides, have I ever eaten steamed bread? ”

Peony smiled awkwardly and muttered, "Doesn't it seem that His Highness is diligent and thrifty..."

Xiao Rui really regretted taking in this girl, no big or small, what was even more angry was Wei Guang, this bastard, you can't take care of your mother-in-law, don't be tortured and screamed every night, the whole palace is full of your terrifying wails.

.......

Since Shen Wansan has come, Wei Dabao's private vault must be emptied as soon as possible, he is ready to act at night, more than a dozen boxes of silver, relying on Li Yuanfang and Li Kui alone is a bit difficult, even if Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang are added, it is not easy to transport, after all, so many boxes have to use two carriages, the carriages are too conspicuous, and once they are discovered by the patrol battalion, their efforts will be wasted.

So Xiao Rui can only find foreign aid.

The first of them is Zhuge Yuanba.

Let Li Yuanfang personally go to the northwest camp, meet Zhuge Yuanba, and when he came back, he not only brought back four henchmen, but also had a pass document, which was issued by the patrol battalion, and many yamen needed to transport materials at night, in order to avoid the delay of the search, with this kind of official document, the patrol battalion would not search.

Of course, these are not enough.

This time, not only did he have to loot Wei Dabao's silver, but also made trouble for Xiao Yiheng, who told him to pinch each other with Xiao Jing now, and Xiao Jing colluded with Wei Dabao again!

That night, Wu Zhanfa monitored Wei Dabao's travels near the East Factory to prevent him from suddenly going to the vault to check.

Approaching the curfew, Li Yuanfang, Li Kui, Wei Guang and four Iron Dragon Knights drove two carriages to the house at the entrance of the tunnel, and then entered the secret room through the tunnel, and then transported twelve boxes out.

Loaded into a carriage, just in time for the curfew.

Then the group changed into the clothes of the guards of the Chu Palace, and drove the carriage onto the street.

Li Yuanfang deliberately detoured and ran into the patrol battalion, and a captain of the patrol battalion stepped forward to check, and Li Yuanfang revealed the official documents.

The lieutenant checked the official documents, and noticed that it was the carriage and guards of the Chu Palace, and hurriedly let him go.

In this way, the two carriages went around to the vicinity of the Chu Palace, and after making sure that no one was following, they quietly came to the back of the Xianwang Mansion, and moved the box into the secret room through the secret passage without alarming anyone in the Xianwang Mansion.

Twelve large boxes were opened at the same time, gold, silver, jewelry, silver tickets and jade, dazzling, Wei Dabao had accumulated the vault for so long, and all of it belonged to Xiao Rui at this time, I don't know if he would faint with anger when he entered the vault again and looked at the empty secret room?
