Chapter 0883 - Reversal is only in an instant
Of course, the price of spices varies, and twenty ships of spices are certainly not as good as before ten ships of gold.
However, their harvest was comparable to that of three ships of gold.
For the wise principal not only loaded the ship with spices, but also tied a lot of precious wood to the hull, and behind each ship, there was also a wooden plaque made of precious wood.
Almost every businessman saw this scene and his eyes were red.
A trip to the sea, less than half a year, made a profit of nearly 10 million, comparable to the wealth of a city.
It's a lot of money.
As the news continued to spread, not only the people in the port city went crazy, but also the people in the whole Yan country and even other countries who got the news went crazy.
The wealthy merchants who had the strength to organize the fleet to go to sea, one by one, with their families, servants, and guards, rushed to the port city.
The people, who did not have the strength to organize a fleet to go to sea, also followed to the port city.
Their goal is to follow these rich businessmen and wealthy families and mix them with wealth.
After all, the larger the fleet that goes to sea, the more people are needed.
In just two months, the population of the port city exceeded one million.
More than Yanjing City.
It shows how attractive money is.
……
Yanjing City.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Cao Lin's four daughters, who got the news, couldn't sit still, and they synesthesia to Yang Qi's imperial study together.
Beat the back of the back, pinch the shoulder of the pinch, make the tea of the tea, rub the leg of the leg.
Yang Qi was served comfortably.
Although Cao Lin is a queen, she has an unusual obsession with money, as long as she can make money, she wants to intervene.
With wine, greenhouses, sea salt, iron and other workshops, Cao Lin has earned more than 10,000 yuan.
Cao Lin can even be said to be the richest man in Yan Kingdom.
The money she earns, even if it is squandered by people in the palace, will not be able to spend it in a lifetime.
However, even so, she still wants to make money.
In her mind, it seemed that everything else was boring except to make money.
However, she doesn't spend much money.
So making money seems to be a great interest to her.
When she first woke up, she didn't pay much attention to money, but she couldn't stand the dream that kept blowing in her ears, causing her to also have a strong desire to make money.
Du Jin'e is purely to join in the fun, it seems that only in this way can she show deep sisterhood.
Among the four women, the one who needs money the most should be Huyan Chijin.
Because of her relationship, Huyanzan was forced to break away from the Song Kingdom and go to Yanjing City.
was angry and Hu Yanzan, and after arriving in Yanjing City, he refused to accept Yang Qi's canonization, nor did he accept Yang Qifa's Yulu.
With a large family, he occupied a wasteland outside the city and lived by farming every day.
The days are tight.
A few times Huyan Chijin went to visit Huyanzan, and saw her little nephews crying with hunger, almost distressing her to death.
Now that there is an opportunity to make money, she naturally wants to intervene.
The four girls massaged Yang Qi hard, and he hummed when he was comfortable.
Seeing that the fire was coming, Cao Lin secretly winked at Huyan Chijin.
Huyan Chijin understood, opened his mouth, and was embarrassed to speak, and after a while, under the urging of Cao Lin's eyes, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, what do you say is like outside Dayan?" ”
Yang Qi was enjoying the massage service, and he was slightly stunned when he heard Huyan Chijin's hard words.
Cao Lin's third daughter, holding her forehead with her hand, told Huyan Chijin with her eyes, you are helpless......
Huyan Chijin lowered his head embarrassedly.
Yang Qi came back to his senses slightly, his eyes swept around the four women, and he pouted and smiled: "Outside Dayan? Outside Dayan are the Song Kingdom, the Northern Liang Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Dali Kingdom, and there is a map on the south wall, you can go to see it.
Chijin, you have been in the south for a long time, you should know Dali very well, why do you still ask me? ”
"Huh?"
Huyan Chijin was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Cao Lin glanced at Huyan Chijin with hatred on his face, and then took over and said, "What does Sister Chijin mean, what is the Northern Liang Kingdom like to the north?" ”
"North of the Northern Liang Kingdom?"
Yang Qi raised his hand and pinched his chin, and said seriously: "I haven't been there either, and I don't know." ”
Yang Qi didn't lie about this sentence, although he was a traverser, but his past and present lives were combined, and he had never been to a place too far north.
Although names such as Outer Mongolia and Russia were often seen on maps, those places are not called that now.
Chu Xing took over the conversation and said, "What about the south of the Great Yan Kingdom?" ”
"To the south of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is a sea, a vast sea......"
Cao Lin and Chu Xing asked questions again and again, but Yang Qi always avoided the answers they wanted with different answers.
Du Jin'e could see that Yang Qi had guessed their minds and was playing tricks on them, so she covered her mouth and snickered on the side.
Cao Lin's three daughters glared at her viciously.
Du Jin'e glanced at them and smiled at Yang Qi: "Your Majesty, what the three of them want to ask, you know it, don't sell them to them." ”
Cao Lin's three daughters were stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood that Yang Qi was playing with them just now.
So, Cao Lin said with a complaining face: "Now, the news in the port city is flying all over the sky, the map has disclosed the asking price, the concubines don't believe it, you, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, will not know any news." ”
Chu Xing added in a low voice: "The concubine feels that the Eight Achievements are controlled by His Majesty behind his back. In other words, others openly sell maps, but I am afraid that they will be caught by the Supervision Department a long time ago. ”
"We want maps, we want to go out and make money."
When Huyan Chijin talks about business, he is always so straightforward.
Yang Qi sat up slightly and said with a smile, "The map was indeed sold by me at my behest of them. ”
Yang Qi looked at Cao Lin and said, "I once gave you all the maps, but you don't want to dislike them, and now I come to me again, why bother to come." ”
Cao Lin said angrily: "When did you give the concubine a map?" ”
Yang Qi looked at her with a smile, "I remind you, it's a book." ”
Cao Lin was stunned for a moment, slowly widened her eyes, and said with a stunned expression: "You mean, the book that says we live on the same ball?!" ”
When the first three girls woke up and heard this, they were also stunned.
Du Jin'e smiled in disbelief: "How can we live on a ball, if we really live on a ball, we would have fallen down a long time ago." ”
Yang Qi didn't bother to continue to explain this problem to them, and when this question was not confirmed, it was useless to say more.
Immediately, Yang Qi said: "Whether we live on the same ball or not, there is no need to argue. Because there's no point in arguing about this now. But what I can guarantee is that the rest of the maps in that book, except for that page, are authentic and valid. ”
"Where, show the concubine."
Cao Lin couldn't wait.
Yang Qi casually took out the book from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to the fourth girl.
After the four girls took it, they gathered together to read it.
Yang Qi let the four daughters flip through the book, and he said on the side: "In the eyes of the world, valuable things are gold, silver, and copper. But in fact, it's not these three things that are really valuable.
The reason why gold is expensive is because it has a good color and low yield, so it is worth a lot.
If you want to organize people to go out, don't aim for gold and silver.
Because if you want to get gold and silver, you don't need to go out at all.
The gold buried in the ground of Dayan and the gold buried in the mountains and forests of Yongzhou are enough for our Dayan country to dig for a hundred years.
And in the country of Wa, which is not far from my Dayan country, there are two silver mountains.
Therefore, gold and silver are not valuable. ”
While flipping through the books on the ground, the fourth girl asked Yang Qi, "What is worth it?" ”
Yang Qiyu said: "Overseas crops are the most valuable. No matter how much gold and silver there is, it is inseparable from three meals a day. For Dayan, the most fundamental thing is agriculture. If the people of the Great Yan Kingdom all go to sea to get gold and silver, if this goes on like this, everyone will become rich.
However, if a large number of people are lost, there will be a sharp decline in production.
When the time comes, what will everyone eat?
It's impossible to nibble on gold and silver, right? ”
"The scale of the four of you organizing a manpower to go to sea must be not small, so I suggest that you focus on crops."
Cao Lin reluctantly handed the book to Chu Xing, looked back and said to Yang Qi: "The concubines are more vulgar, so they like gold and silver." ”
When the other three women heard this, they all nodded.
Yang Qi glanced at them helplessly.
What he said was in vain.
After getting the land book, the four girls no longer offered their hospitality.
One by one, they rushed out of the imperial study to organize people to go to sea.
Yang Qi was left alone, sighing alone in the imperial study.
And there is another person who has the same disease as Yang Qi.
This person is Kong Lianjie.
Since he was released from prison, Kong Lianjie has been running around, colluding up and down, and shouting for Confucianism.
Seeing that victory was in sight, he took over a mountain of gold that suddenly appeared, and then a treasure map appeared, making all his efforts in vain.
Those officials who followed Yang Qi to Hong Kong City, just after returning to Yanjing City, helped Kong Lianjie to embarrass Yang Qi together.
But when the treasure map was revealed in the port city, the toner cartridges were waved one by one.
The thrill of the gold mountain is enormous.
Two people from mountain bandits can rely on an ocean trip and their net worth soar 10,000 times, there is no reason why they, the senior talents who are officials, can live a miserable life.
If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
This sentence is fruitful.
But it is the truth.
The officials are shouting for Confucianism, not because they are really noble.
Rather, it is because the higher the status of Confucianism, the more stable their position will be.
To put it simply, it is profitable.
Now, with the greater good in front of them, they naturally and unceremoniously choose to pursue the greater good.
Now, after they have dealt with government affairs, they are all busy making maps and organizing people to go to sea, and no one cares about Confucian affairs.
Kong Lianjie ran to the mansions of six high-ranking officials in a row.
Although he was still warmly entertained, he did not agree to continue to help wave the flag.
Kong Lianjie walked unwillingly to the door of the seventh mansion.
"Dangdang~"
After knocking on the door, the porter saw that it was Kong Lianjie and warmly welcomed him in.
After entering the main hall, Kong Lianjie saw the owner of the mansion.
"Lian Jie has seen Guo Lang ......"
Kong Lianjie no longer had the initial domineering, and tried his best to lower his posture and make a salute.
"Brother Kong has arrived, no need to be polite, please sit down, butler, serve tea."
After the two of them sat down.
Kong Lianjie couldn't wait to speak: "Guo Langzhong, Lianjie came to visit today, there is something unclear, and I ask Guo Langzhong to solve his doubts." ”
Guo Langzhong said with a smile: "Between you and me, what else do you talk about, you just have to ask, I will definitely know everything and say everything." ”
Kong Lianjie nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, that day in the court, Li Yushi hit him desperately, almost forcing His Majesty into a corner, as long as you add a little more strength, you can make Your Majesty agree to reopen the imperial examination."
However, now, more than two months have passed, why haven't you seen any more movement for a long time? ”
Guo Langzhong was stunned for a moment, restrained the smile on his face, and sighed for a long time: "Brother Kong, I can't hide it, now the hundreds of officials in the court are staring at the golden mountains of the port city and the treasures overseas. Everyone's minds have already flown away, and they all want to let His Majesty loosen their mouths and allow them to go to sea to make a fortune, how can anyone really run for tens of thousands of scholars in the world.
Guo is a certain person, and he is powerless. ”
Kong Lianjie subconsciously clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Could it be that gold, silver and jewelry are more important in their eyes than the future of Confucianism?" ”
Guo Langzhong was slightly stunned, and a few faint lights flashed in his eyes.
When Kong Lianjie looked at him, he immediately put on a compassionate face and sighed: "Who said it wasn't!" Ay! Brother Confucius, Guo's heart has always been towards Confucianism. As long as Brother Confucius can contact a few more people, Guo will definitely go to the book together to seek justice for Confucianism. ”
Kong Lianjie said to Guo Langzhong gratefully: "Guo Langzhong has a Dan heart, and tens of thousands of Confucian students in the world will definitely remember it." ”
The two sat together and exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Stay until late.
Guo Langzhong personally sent Kong Lianjie out of the house.
As soon as Kong Lianjie left, Guo Langzhong immediately put on a disdainful face, "Phew! Something, but also Confucian future. You're running so happily, not for your own future. ”
The housekeeper stood beside Guo Langzhong and said in a low voice: "Master, don't you say that, okay?" ”
Guo Langzhong's eyes narrowed and said, "What's wrong?" What is the purpose of being an official is fame and fortune. Of the hundreds of officials in Yanjing City, one family is considered a family, and no one has a big family to support.
However, His Majesty closely followed the land and strictly investigated corruption.
Seeing the wealth in front of him, who is not tempted?
Go to sea and make millions of profits.
Three generations of grandparents are not worried.
Today, if you miss this opportunity and risk your life to fight for Confucianism, can you make the three generations of grandparents rich and prosperous? ”
The housekeeper had a bitter face and said in a mournful voice: "What the master taught me." ”
"Why are you still stupid, why don't you organize people and let Da Lang take him to Hong Kong City?"
"Let's go ......"
“……”
Yang Qi used a splash of wealth as a guide, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Few people can stabilize their minds under the temptation of getting rich overnight.
No one touched Yang Qi's brow at this juncture.
The coastline of Dayan is long and narrow, thousands of miles long.
However, there are only a handful of ports that can go to sea and build big ships.
And these ports, without exception, are all in the hands of Yang Qi.
As long as Yang Qi is willing, he can easily strangle their dream of getting rich.
The situation was reversed in an instant.
Yang Qi successfully took control of the situation.
