Standing at the head of Daliang City to see the majestic sea boat of the young division's life, but standing on the sea boat is not this feeling. Although the mainmast was full of sails, it was only a breeze at this time, and it was the paddlers on the dinghy in front of them and the oarsmen on both sides of the boat that really made the boat move forward, and it was they who were driving the more than 100-ton boat.

"That's the girder, huh? It would be nice if I could go out of the palace like this in the future. The delicate words were the voice of the princess. The autumn is high and cool, the sky is high and the clouds are light, in addition to her, there are Xiong Jing, as well as Mi Xuan, Mi Rou, Mi Qin, Mi Wen, Mi Qiong, Mi An, and Mi Zhang. The ladies sat on the stern, blowing the soft autumn breeze, looking at the scenery on both sides of the chasm, it was indeed much better than staying in the palace for more than ten years.

"Wouldn't it be nice to build a few sea boats." Mirou sat across from her, her tone understated. When she spoke like this, Xiong Jing, who was sitting in the chief, couldn't help but smile.

"This Haizhou ......" Mi Pan, who has lived in the palace all her life, has no concept of Haizhou, she smiled and said: "I can't bring Haizhou to Zhao Kingdom, right?" Brother Wang, can I bring Haizhou to Zhao Kingdom? ”

"Ahem." After brewing for many days, Xiong Jing had to speak out. He coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Naturally, you can bring it to Zhao Guo." ”

"But what's the use of bringing it to Zhao State?" Mi Pan was puzzled that she would marry Zhao Guo next year. "I'm going to marry Nawang Zhujun, and I'll live in Handan in the future, but Handan is by the sea?"

"Handan is not on the seaside, but Handan has a waterway to the sea." Xiong Jing kept smiling. "Although my Chu State is better than the Qin State, the momentum of Qin's destruction of the world has been completed, and the collapse of the Kwantung Kingdoms has been in the past ten years. If Zhao annexes Yan, he can retreat to the north of the Great Wall of Yishui for the time being, and Qi ......"

"Brother Wang, how is the Qi Kingdom?" Xiong Jing paused, and Mi Wen was suddenly a little nervous, she was going to marry into the Qi Kingdom.

"More than 40 years ago, the five kingdoms invaded Qi, Le Yi, yes, that is, the eldest father of Wang Zhujun who was going to marry his wife, and he pulled out seventy cities in Qi in a row, leaving only Jimo and Jucheng. The land of Qi is too narrow, and further east is the sea. "Xiong Jing Dao." Therefore, Brother Wang thought that the two sisters-in-law who married far away should build a few more sea boats.

The sea boat is very expensive, one ton, that is, four thousand Chu catties, and four thousand Chu catties cost one gold and another seven thousand yuan. Five hundred tons is eight hundred and fifty gold. A 500-ton sea boat can transport more than 380 tons of cargo at a time, that is, 1.54 million catties. ”

"So big?" Qi Wen was taken aback. ton, the princesses don't have any concept, converted into catties, they have a concept.

"It's not big, it's still too small." Xiong Jing Road. "If the Qin State does not destroy the Zhao and Qi countries, the sea boats of the wives can transport Yan Zhao's horses, cattle and sheep, and other products back to the mother country, and they can also bring the ...... of the mother country."

"I know, I know." Miqin is the cutestest. "This is called trafficking, and Zheng Guoren often does it, so they are rich with the king."

"This ......" Mi Qiong understood what Xiong Jing meant, but she had her concerns. Trafficking is the art of businessmen, we wait, we wait, we ......"

"Joan is bad." Mi Rou's current role is to trust, "If you have a sea boat, you don't necessarily have to practice the art of business, you can hand it over to a special person to take care of it, and you can donate money every year." Now Brother Wang wants to build a shipping ...... and shipping

"Company." Seeing that Mi Rou couldn't remember that word, Mi Xuan gently reminded her.

"Yes, company." Mirou laughed to herself. "This company is shared by Brother Wang and all the women, how to traffick, how to make profits, how to assign, there are special people to take care of it, and the women can wait at home to collect the money."

"The company is just a boat to make money through trafficking. Yan Zhao's rouge can be transported into Chu State, and gouache from Chu State can also be transported into Yan Zhao Qi and other countries. "Xiong Jing Dao." Do you remember the Hu merchant who came to Yingdu last time? ”

In order to make it easier for the princesses to understand, Xiong Jing mentioned Hu Tansaozhi. All the gems brought by Hu Tansuo were bought by him at a low price, otherwise people would not have the money to buy goods to go back. A small number of good-looking Xuan Lin and Lang Xie were rewarded by him to these women.

Seeing that the princesses present nodded, he said again: "Lang Xie, Xuan Lin and other things are stones in the queen mother country, and most of them are picked up from the mountain, and when they are transported to Yingdu, they will cost more than a dozen or dozens of gold." Zheng Guoren is just trafficking between countries, and they can get rich with the king, if they are trafficked between continents in the world by sea boats, how will they be rich?

Furthermore," Xiong Jing saw that all the women nodded, and he restrained his smile and began to say another very serious question: "If the Qin State sweeps away the kingdoms, with the violence of the Qin people, the kings and nobles of the countries will either be killed or moved.

If he escaped, there was no way for the Qi State to escape, the Zhao State could flee to the Yan State, and if the Yan State was also pulled out by the Qin army, then he could only flee to Donghu or flee to Korea. The same is true of the state of Chu, if Yingdu is pulled, then it can only retreat to Jiangdong, if Jiangdong is occupied by the Qin army, then it can only retreat to Zhuyue, and it will definitely fight with the Qin people.

However, war needs corn and grain. There is still fertile land in the Jicheng Basin of Yan Kingdom, and if the Jicheng Basin is lost, then there will be no land in Zhao Kingdom; Similar to the state of Chu, Jiangdong still has some fields, if Jiangdong loses, then there will be no fields, and if millions of soldiers and civilians want to fight the Qin people again, they are likely to starve to death for most of them......"

"Brother Wang, how is the country of Qi and the country of Qi?" Mi Wen is not frightened, the Qin people have long been demonized in the Chu State, and she would rather lie in the sword than fall into the hands of the Qin people.

"There is only the sea in the east of Qi country, but if Wen Xiao has a sea boat, she can return to her mother country by sea boat." Xiong Jing comforted. "After returning to the home country, the sea boat can transport grain from overseas countries. Hu Shang said that there is a country south of Zhongzhou named Tianzhi, with more than 20 million Dingkou, and grain can be transported back to the mother country from this country. A sea boat can be transported once a year, and it can transport 1.54 million catties at a time.

If there are 400 sea boats, there is no shortage of grain in the mother country; If there are only 300 boats, catch some more fish, and add the catch from the thin fields in the mountains, it will barely be enough to eat. Only by having enough food can we fight a fierce battle with the Qin people, so as to protect the society of the mother country and save the national glory of the mother country. The Qin State is brutal, and the country is bound to not last, and Taifu thinks that the Qin State is less than 20 years old. Twenty years later, the mother country will be able to recover Yingdu, the old Ying, and Fangcheng. At that time, the king will definitely seal a food town for your wives. ”

The little sea boat turned out to be related to the society of the mother country, and the princesses were silent for a while. Although they have the heart to serve their home country, not everyone has the ability and responsibility to do so.

"But, can ......" Qi Pan wanted to speak and stopped, "a sea boat costs 850 gold, 400 ships, 400 ships cost more than 300,000 gold, we wait, we can build one, two, how to build 400 ships?" ”

"It's not hard." Xiong Jing looked at the six women who were about to get married, and suddenly felt unspeakable before he spoke, and couldn't help but stand up and bow to them, and several princesses hurriedly avoided them, not daring to accept the courtesy. "Brother Wang dares to ask you to exchange your dowry for a sea boat."

Seeing him so gifted, the hearts of the princesses were already hanging, and when they heard him say this, their faces immediately changed. The dowry is not only money, but also a status symbol. If you marry into your husband's family and do not have enough dowry to marry with you, you will be looked down upon by your husband's family. The dowry is also the property of a woman's life, and if she does not have her own property, she will not have her own maids, servants, and power. Whether you marry into the royal court or marry into a big family, there are internal strife, and there is no victory without power. In this sense, the dowry is equivalent to happiness, and now, the king wants to exchange his happiness for a sea boat......

"Brother Wang just hopes that the exchange or not-in-law is voluntary." Xiong Jing's addition made the princesses breathe a sigh of relief.

Mi Rou said: "Qin Xiao married the king of Han, and when she learned that the royal brother wanted to build a sea boat, she didn't listen to the details, so she sent someone back to her mother country with 2,400 gold, saying that she wanted to build three sea boats. The mother country now has a limited income, and if we are given a dowry, we will not be able to build a great boat; If you have a great boat and a boat on the sea, you will not be able to give me such a dowry. Brother Wang cherishes us and waits, and does not want to say to his mother that we will wait for a dowry, so he wants to come up with a dowry for a sea boat.

In this way, our dowry is a lot of money, but it is no longer gold and jade, but a sea boat one by one. The sea boat can not only be trafficked for profit like the Zheng people, but also can transport grain in overseas countries, save the community of the mother country, and restore the homeland of the mother country.

We are all children of the mother country, and if the mother country does not exist, what face do we have in the husband's family? If the mother country is strong, who dares to bully? ”

Mi Rou is kind to words, but saying such a truth still makes Xiong Jing a little surprised. After she finished speaking, Mi Qin was the first to say: "I am willing to change the sea boat, and I will also smash the wine urn." But I, but I don't know how much dowry? ”

"Hehe......" the girls laughed, and it seemed to them that smashing the wine urn when the boat was launched was a very fun thing for them. At this time, Chang Jiang handed a note to several princesses under Xiong Jing's instructions, and Qi Qin's eyes opened after seeing it, and said, "Four ......"

"Shh Xiong Jing stopped her. The amount of dowry is generally only known to the queen mother, the king, the queen, and Wang Yin, so as not to compare the princesses.

"Brother Wang, how to exchange the dowry for a boat?" Qi Wen looked at her dowry, she was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, she knew her identity, and there was only so much according to convention.

"Please go to the queen mother and ask the queen mother not to buy so many jewels and brocade jewelry, and save money to build a sea boat." Xiong Jing Road. "After the queen mother agrees, this matter will be handed over to Wang Yin and Lang Yin, and you can tell them how many sea boats you want to build.

When the boat factory receives the money, it will choose an auspicious day to lay the keel, and if the timber is dry, a sea boat can be built and launched in six or seven months, and after half a year, it can be trafficked for profit with enough sailors. These things are all taken care of by the shipping company, and they will tell you how to do it, and the money earned every year will also be sent to the mother-in-law. In addition, there is always a risk in shipping, so each sea boat has to pay a sum of money for insurance, if the sea boat sinks, the insurance company will accompany a sea boat to you.

Although everything is taken care of by a company, Brother Wang still has to ask all of you to send one person to accompany each boat, and you must also have your own legal calculations or thin people by your side. The profit from sea transportation is not only ten times, but if there are private goods on the boat, it will not be good. ”

There are a lot of things about shipping companies, and they can't be said in a few words. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he asked Chang Jiang to hand the prepared documents to the princesses, so that they could understand the entire process of boat building, operation, and trade, and also introduced some products from the East and the West, and the approximate profit estimate. Looking at their serious appearances, he knew that the dowry for the sea boat was nine times out of ten.
