"How so?"

Zhao Gou frowned slightly.

The last time Hui Yi failed, thousands of people were buried in the sea, and the voices of the DPRK and China against the ocean Hui Yi came and went, and it took him a lot of determination and strength to suppress those people one by one, and now the deputy envoy of Hui Yi died, and I don't know how many people want to attack Hui Yi.

Huang Qi shook his head and said: "The little one is not clear, I received a letter from Yang Congyi before, and what the letter said was not very clear, I was busy handing over the goods and accounts in the past two days, and I haven't had time to ask him about his auspiciousness." ”

"This time the return to Yi can be successful, Tang Xun has made great contributions, and he has ordered the Ministry of Rites and Officials to deal with his future generations properly, if he has an heir, he can make up for an official."

Tang Xun was one of the martial arts students that Zhao Gou had taken a fancy to at the beginning, and he paid attention to him a lot, and the sudden departure of such a good talent affected his mood to some extent.

"Yes, official, the little one will definitely keep an eye on it."

Huang Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the official family didn't seem to be as angry as he guessed.

"How is Yang Congyi? Is he okay? ”

"It's okay, he's fine, except for being a little haggard, there's no big problem, just rest for a while."

"Okay, it's okay. After this is done, let him recuperate at home for a few months. ”

Then he immediately said: "This year, there are either floods or droughts in various places, and there are even people who gather to make trouble, which is like a rebellion, and money must be used everywhere, and this money will not last for a few years, so the return to Yi cannot be broken, you tell Yang Congyi, let him make some preparations in advance, and the fleet will go to sea again next year." ”

"Yes, official."

Huang Qi immediately agreed, and then asked, "How much capital will you give this time?" How much money do you want to make? ”

Zhao thought for a moment and replied: "Give him back five million guan, since it is easy to make money overseas, then make another 60 million guan." ”

"Official, isn't 60 million a little more, I heard that this time I can exchange so many goods in the West, because the Great Song fleet has not been there for eight years, their previous inventory has been exhausted, and this time the fleet brought a lot of goods, there are few Westerners, it is estimated that it will take four or five years to use up, and I will go again next year, I am afraid that I will not be able to exchange how many goods will be returned, and the number of times I go is too much, our silk, porcelain, and tea will not be sold at a good price, and in the long run, the way to make money will be broken."

Huang Qi immediately raised an objection, he had gone to sea, and the money outside was not as easy to make as he imagined.

"Huang Qi, this doesn't look like you can come up with this, who taught you to say it?"

The expression on Zhao Gou's face changed slightly.

Huang Qi immediately bowed and replied: "This is what Tang Xun said when he went to sea a few years ago, when he chatted with Xiao about the ocean return, he said that Tianzhu, Western Seljuk and other places, the fleet of seventy or eighty sea ships can only go once in five years at most, otherwise the more goods transported to the Great Song Dynasty, the lower the value, and in the end, I am afraid that three or two ships of goods will not be worth the previous half of the goods exchanged for more things." The small one thought that next year, when the fleet went to sea again, it would not be able to bring so much silk, porcelain and tea, and the price of the Great Song Dynasty goods overseas should be stable, so that they could continue to exchange things for things. ”

When Zhao Gou heard that this was what the deceased Tang Xun said, his face relaxed and improved.

Tang Xun knows how to return to Yi, twice make a lot of money, think about it carefully, his words do have some truth, the old saying is that scarcity is expensive, the fleet goes to sea too often, and there are too many things shipped out, it seems that it is indeed not a good thing, but if you don't go to sea every few years, it won't work.

"In this way, the fleet will go to sea next year, and the scale will not be too big, with a capital of three million yuan and a profit of 30 million yuan. It's so decided, let him prepare early. ”

"Yes, the little one will inform him immediately."

Huang Qi didn't say anything more, he was also afraid that saying too much would annoy the officials, his current position in the palace was not very stable, if he wasn't in charge of returning to Yi, he could make money back, I'm afraid he would have gone to the side to cool off a long time ago.

"Tang Xun is gone, can Yang Congyi do a good job of returning alone? Does he have any helpers, do you want to send someone back to Yiyi? ”

Zhao Gou glanced at Huang Qi, handed over the silver bill in front of him, and motioned for him to put it in the box and put it away, this money should be enough to repair the palace.

"In fact, the most important thing to go to sea is to be familiar with the sea conditions, lead the fleet to and from safely, the itinerary and fleet escort are actually Yang Congyi is doing, as for the procurement and trading of goods, although it is troublesome, as long as there is enough time, it can still be done slowly. There are two young people who went to sea with the fleet this time, both of them are scholars, after Tang Xun's accident, the two of them are doing the transactions of the fleet in Quanzhou and Mingzhou, Yang Congyi is more satisfied with the two of them, and he will definitely take the two of them when the fleet goes to sea next year. The size of the Huiyi fleet has decreased, and it is enough to have a few of them. ”

The Huiyi team was established by Huang Qi, although Tang Xun is gone, but Yang Congyi is still there, as long as he is there, the credit of Huiyi will always have his share, if it is mixed with other people, Huiyi is occupied by outsiders, his position in the palace will definitely not be guaranteed, and he will soon be excluded, so I don't want any outsiders to get involved.

"Since there are enough people, let him do it himself. Do you know the origin of those two readers? If there is no big problem, inform the Ministry of Rites, give them a background, and reward them with an official position, so that they can do things well for the court. ”

Any useful person should be used by the imperial court, if the imperial court does not use it, it will either be abandoned in the mountains or used by other people, just a small official position, more than that little money every year, Zhao Gou doesn't care at all, he can use a little benefit to win people's hearts, use it for him, and help him earn back a lot of money to spend, why not?

"Yes, the little one will do it right away."

"Take the box down and keep it safe. The gold, silver and jewelry transported back to the palace were counted clearly before they were put into storage, and all of them were registered. As for the ten ships of Western goods, if they can be used, let each palace and hall take them according to their needs, and the royal family and clansmen, each family will give them some equally, and the officials above the fifth rank in the court will be rewarded according to their grades, and the officials of the Beijing Dynasty below the fifth rank will also be rewarded with some each. The rest is sealed up and rewarded every year. ”

After Zhao Gou ordered the arrangement, Huang Qi hurriedly responded.

This is a good errand, maybe he can improve the relationship with the concubines, queens, and queen mothers of various palaces and palaces, and further stabilize his position in the palace, or even go further.

Huang Qi retreated with a box full of silver bills, and Zhao Gou continued to review the folding documents from all over the country.

Although there are still a lot of problems, but with money in his hands, Zhao Gou is no longer so anxious in his heart, he is affected by the disaster, allocates food and allocates relief, rebels, mobilizes the forbidden army to suppress it, no matter how big the matter, wave the red pen and calm it down immediately.

After returning to Lin'an and handing over the money and gold and silver treasures to Huang Qi, Yang Congyi still had no time to rest, he and Lu You still had very important things to do, selling the remaining Western goods.

In addition to the two ships of stones that were not purchased, there were also five ships of goods, which they had to retail one by one, and the retail objects were Xungui and Lin'an, as well as the surrounding officials.

The retail price of the goods released by Lin'an Huiyi is the same as the price of centralized sales to merchants, but the upper limit is set on the number of purchases, that is, the total purchase amount of each household cannot exceed 20,000 yuan.

The news that there were still Western goods for sale in the return office soon spread in Lin'an, and all of a sudden, the big and small merchants and shopkeepers in Lin'an heard the wind and surrounded the return office set up in Baomin Fang.

Originally, I saw people from the palace taking away all the cargo ships and Shenzhou by the Qiantang River, thinking that the fleet had no Western goods for sale, but I never thought that there was still a batch of goods in the Huiyi place, this is the last procurement opportunity, who wants to let it go?

Who these goods are sold to, Yang Congyi and Lu You have long considered it, not who wants to buy it, they want to pick people, to put it bluntly, it depends on the relationship, if you want to gain a foothold in Lin'an, if you want to continue to do it, in addition to the emperor's support, no one in the court can mutter every day that it is not good to return to Yi, otherwise after a long time, the emperor will not be able to withstand the pressure, and it may be possible to withdraw back to the Yi place.

Yang Congyi no longer has much hope for returning to the army, a few years ago when he first entered the martial arts school, he still delusionally imagined that he could make meritorious contributions in the army, since the election of the general camp incident, the heart of the army has gradually faded.

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty looked too strict with the army and the warriors, and the precautions were too tight, for fear that the army would become stronger, and even more afraid that the army would grow, as soon as there was a sprout, they couldn't wait to take it*, the Xuanwei army was like this, several dismantling, and now there is only an empty shell left, and the 20,000 people with high morale in the general camp are the same, if the imperial court really wanted to form a strong army, they should have been placed in the general camp, but unfortunately they chose to form two, and all of them were scattered, each stationed in the old place, and the final outcome can be imagined.

He doesn't really want to return to the army now, because he finds that through returning to the army, he can be steadily promoted, even faster than in the army, as long as he doesn't go the wrong way, one day he can also enter the court, participate in politics, and bring something different to the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty can really dominate the East, instead of bragging with Western monarchs and ministers, and at the same time being weak-minded.

The place of return is guarded by the forbidden army, and no one is allowed to enter without permission without an order.

A group of businessmen and shopkeepers surrounded by three layers outside the gate of the return office waited for several hours and could not enter the door.

When they saw a notice posted up, most of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

Because the notice clearly states that the objects that can obtain strange things in the return to the barter are only the nobles with knighthoods and officials above the eighth rank, and the rest will not be sold for the time being, and if there is a surplus, it will be considered.

Most people are disappointed, but there are always some people who have their own relationships and backgrounds, they either find nobles or officials and ask them to come forward and sell the goods they want.

People with status and status will not easily earn and rob, so the front of the door is finally clean.

In the beginning, few people came to the door, and after everyone found that the price of Western goods retailed by the shops in Lin'an City was almost double that of the Huiyi, some people gradually boarded the Huiyi.
