…

Listen to Wang Lun said, "The king is immaculate, and he will see you again in the future." Then a group of Song merchants were sent away by Wang Lun.

This is not what many Song merchants thought before.

In their minds, Li Yan didn't see Arab and Venetian Genoese merchants, so why didn't he see them?

This undoubtedly made these Song businessmen a little panicked!

Since Lingzhou was occupied by Western Xia, the Silk Road on the road has been blocked, so if you want to do international trade, you must go by sea.

And now that the Jin army is moving south, all the trade in the north cannot be done.

Therefore, a large number of Song merchants went to the sea, joined the ranks of maritime international trade, and became maritime merchants.

In addition to those merchants in the traditional sense who joined the ranks of maritime merchants, there were also a large number of scholars, that is, those who failed to make the list, and also joined the ranks of maritime merchants to do maritime international trade.

According to incomplete statistics, tens of thousands of Song people have become maritime merchants.

In fact, this is normal, because international trade by sea is really too profitable.

Many maritime businessmen who have been in the sea for a long time have now all made a fortune, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, there are many maritime merchants, and their net worth is millions of guan, and the most powerful maritime merchant (that is, Xu Derong of Quanzhou) has been doing business in Nanyang for more than ten years and has earned 200 million guan.

What is the concept of 200 million?

Now the financial income of the Northern Song Dynasty is only more than 100 million yuan, and this is still a good year, like the current year is not good, let alone 100 million yuan, even 80 million yuan can not be collected, Xu Derong through more than ten years of maritime international trade, actually earned the financial income of the Northern Song Dynasty for two years.

The Northern Song Dynasty is an extremely wealthy dynasty in history, taking the Northern Song Dynasty as an example, it is actually not enough image.

Let's take the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful in Chinese history.

When the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the annual financial income was only 30 million yuan, and Xu Derong earned six or seven years of financial income during the Tang Dynasty through more than ten years of maritime international trade.

According to later generations, Xu Derong earned 40 trillion yuan through more than ten years of international maritime trade.

Therefore, Xu Derong can definitely be called a rich country, if he donates all his net worth to the Northern Song Dynasty court, maybe he can help the Northern Song Dynasty court survive the shame of Jingkang.

Maritime merchants who do international trade at sea, they can make more than ten times the windfall profits once they go to sea, and sometimes they can even have dozens of times the windfall profits.

Maritime international trade has such huge benefits, and now all the coastal areas in the east of the Indochina Peninsula and the Strait of Malacca, which must be passed, are all under the control of Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Yan was reluctant to see them, how could these Song people and maritime merchants not be in a hurry?

The more than 20 Song maritime merchants who came to meet Li Yan were all leaders in maritime business, and each of them had a net worth of more than tens of millions, including Xu Derong, the first maritime merchant and the legend of maritime business.

As soon as they came out of the governor's yamen, thousands of Song people and maritime merchants surrounded Xu Derong and others, and said:

"Duke Xu, would the emperor like to see you and wait?"

"Duke Xu, when will the emperor return our merchant ships?"

“……”

Xu Derong simply dealt with the thousands of Song people and maritime merchants, and then took the other twenty or so people to sit down in a private room in a restaurant.

When the people sat down, there was humanity:

"Duke Xu, what does the emperor mean when he doesn't see us?"

"We are of the same species and origin as the Emperor, not those Great Food Merchants and Merchants of the Western Heavens, the Emperor doesn't see those merchants who are forgivable, why don't you see us?"

"Is it because the Emperor thinks that our gift is too light? Why don't I wait for crowdfunding and give the emperor a generous gift? ”

“……”

Although Xu Derong is known as "Xu Gong", he is actually not very old, only in his forties.

Being able to stand out from the huge maritime business group and be far ahead of others, Xu Derong is naturally extremely extraordinary.

Xu Derong pondered for a while, and then said: "The emperor is wise and wise, leading the army from Liaodong to cross here, seize this vital Indochina Peninsula and choke the trade route between the east and the west. ”

A maritime merchant said: "Yes, although the emperor detained our merchant ships, he did not touch our goods or embarrass us, and obviously he was still preparing to return our merchant ships to us." ”

Another maritime merchant said: "But how can we know what the emperor's intentions are?" ”

Xu Derong said in a deep voice: "We don't know, but someone must know." ”

The crowd asked, "Who?" ”

Xu Derong said: "Wang Zezhen is the prince." ”

Nowadays, there is a saying in the sea realm that the king of the south and the north is said.

This "Nanxu" is naturally the legendary maritime merchant Xu Derong who ran the western route, and the "North King" is the first maritime merchant Wang Zezhen who ran to Liaodong.

In terms of wealth, Xu Derong is naturally superior.

But in terms of strength, Wang Zezhen, who took the Shuibo Liangshan line early, is stronger.

Back then, after Wang Zezhen made the right bet, he had been doing business between the Song Kingdom and the counties of Liaodong.

As Shuibo Liangshan became stronger and stronger, Wang Zezhen's business became bigger and bigger.

In order to strengthen the connection with Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Zezhen used the draft to send all his two daughters to the palace, and now one has been named Shuyi by Li Yan, and the other has been named Jieyu by Li Yan, and Wang Zezhen's youngest daughter even gave Li a son.

Wang Zezhen, who has his back to Liangshan Mountain, now has dozens of large sea ships, and he is definitely the strongest maritime merchant.

The key is that Wang Zezhen's background is still extremely deep, and she can even often enter the palace to meet Li Yan, and she can also participate in some important banquets held by Li Yan.

Xu Derong felt that Wang Zezhen must know what Li Yan wanted to do, so he took the remaining 20 or so Song people and maritime merchants to meet Wang Zezhen.

Since China's maritime merchants began to go to sea on a large scale, the Chinese have formed a large-scale overseas immigration group.

Therefore, in many countries, such as Central and South countries, Indian countries, big food countries, and even East African countries, there are commercial colonies of Chinese, and even Chinese communities.

There is also such a Chinese community in the south-central part of Angkor Thom.

At the beginning, when Hu Yanqing and Han Shizhong conquered Angkor Thom, they also focused on protecting it.

Wang Zezhen bought a mansion here not long ago.

Xu Derong and others came to this mansion to meet Wang Zezhen.

After the door, Wang Zezhen personally greeted the door and said, "Everyone is here, let the humble house shine, please come in!" ”

Everyone said, "Prince! ”

Wang Zezhen returned the salute one by one, and finally took the initiative to hug his fist at Xu Derong and said: "Duke Xu! ”

Xu Derong returned the salute and said: "I came uninvited, but I really have something to ask the prince." ”

Wang Zezhen said: "I don't know what's going on? ”

Xu Derong bowed solemnly and said, "Please also ask the prince for guidance!" ”

As soon as Wang Zezhen reacted slightly, she understood what Xu Derong and the others were asking for.

Wang Zezhen pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone, please go to the upper hall with me to discuss." ”

Seeing this, Xu Derong was overjoyed!

Wang Zezhen did not directly refuse, indicating that Wang Zezhen should know something, otherwise Wang Zezhen would never be like this.

After everyone entered the upper hall with Wang Zezhen, Xu Derong bowed again: "Please also ask the prince for guidance!" ”

Wang Zezhen looked around for a week and said, "Your big opportunity has come." ”
