The water pavilion here is the same as the usual water pavilion in general, half on the shore of the lake, half into the lake, the middle part of the lake, transparent on all sides, the cold air envelops in, in this season, in fact, it is not suitable for rest, but everyone is a young person, but not so afraid of the cold, the cold is colder, but it is refreshing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After sitting down, they immediately started talking and laughing, Wang Yi, Wang Jian, and Wang Ren sat with Xue Pan, and soon spoke hotly, between the few of them, they often come and go on weekdays, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Wa Gang Fence and the like have also been together, even in the relationship between relatives, they are so familiar that they can't be more familiar, so there is no shortage of topics at all, but now that Wang Qingyu is present, it is not good to talk about Fengyue, only pick other topics to talk about.

Jia Wei sat aside, listening lazily, his eyes swept over and over, and after a while, Wang Qingyu and Wang Zhi came over and chatted with him, and he responded casually.

After staying in the water pavilion for about two or three quarters of an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the girl's crisp voice, but it was Jia Lian and his wife who also came over with Sister Qiao, and everyone got up to greet each other, and then asked the reason, it turned out that Sister Qiao was making trouble to come out, and the couple couldn't twist it, so they had to rely on it, so they came all the way.

sat down again, Jia Wei teased Sister Qiao'er to play, Sister Feng talked to Wang Qingyu and Wang Zhi, and Jia Lian chatted with Wang Yi, Wang Jian, Wang Ren, and Xue Pan.

“…… Brother Xue, I'm not afraid to bump into you, although your current imperial merchant business is large, there are shops in both capitals, and the provinces come and go to trade, speaking of which, a few of us are envious and can't envy it, but ...... Brother Xue, you haven't done sea trade, but I heard that several imperial merchants who are hanging in the household department like your family have plans for sea trade at the moment, I don't know what you think, Brother Xue? ”

After telling an interesting story about the tile and a business, several brothers of the Wang family chatted happily with Jia Lian and Xue Pan, and at this time, Wang Ren, who was sitting next to Xue Pan, patted Xue Pan on the shoulder, turned the topic and said.

"Haimao?"

"Well, the benefits of sea trade are far better than our inter-provincial trade...... What's the matter, Brother Xue is not interested? ”

"It's not," Xue Pan said with a wave of his hand, "It's just ...... In the end, the sea trade is unfamiliar, and it is floating across the sea, so it is okay not to do it. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Ren laughed, "The Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the sea ban is twelve years, and the ban was only opened in October last year, and now which merchant is not unfamiliar with sea trade, and you are not alone, as for those who cross the sea, there is no need to worry, and you don't need to go in person, let the guys run the boat." ”

"Well, there is some truth in what my brother said." Xue Pan stroked his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully.

"Brother Xue, don't you understand...... Wang Ren clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother Xue, I can tell you, it is said that the profits of sea trade are so high, one year and again, almost ten times, Nanyang is still worse, and the Oriental Wa Kingdom is the first choice...... I have inquired, from our side to transport silk, satin, porcelain and other things, to the country of the country, after the hand, has been very profitable, this is a big head, in addition, and then from the country to bring back copper, sulfur, knife, folding fan and other things, is a lot of profit...... If you don't do this kind of business, I'll be sorry for you, my brother......"

"That being the case, doing is doing, but ...... This has to build a sea ship and hire sailors, and if you want to do it, you can't do it immediately, it will take two or three years of work......" Xue Pan said with a wink.

To be honest, Wang Ren's words made him quite moved.

Since the death of his father, he took over the business of the big house, has been complained by his family and relatives, in short, he thinks that he only cares about having fun, regardless of business, very unsuccessful, he is extremely disapproving, at this time Wang Ren put the sea trade business in front of him, the profit is so high, if it is done, from then on the Xue family will have a rich business, at that time, there is only praise for him, there is no reason to accuse him.

Especially Baochai's younger sister, who gave him more headaches than his mother, persuaded him in the town to come back after he made a lot of money from sea trade, only to know that his brother was a very capable person.

"Hehe, Brother Xue don't worry, you also know, back then, our Wang family was in charge of the city, no matter whether the countries paid tribute to the court, or our maritime merchants in and out of trade, they were all in charge, so Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Tianjin and other places had no different dealings with our Wang family...... If Brother Xue really plans to trade at sea, I will discuss with several seafarers in Tianjin, and spend money to hire a few seagoing ships and hire some manpower, there should be no problem, and there is no need to build seagoing ships by myself, and I don't need to hire sailors by myself......"

“…… At the end of last year, I visited several maritime merchants in Tianjin, and they were busy repairing their ships and preparing to go to sea...... Brother Xue, if you want to hire ships and people, you have to hire people as soon as possible, otherwise when these maritime merchants start to trade on a large scale, how can they have extra ships and manpower for you......"

"Of course, this is not a long-term solution, now hire first, run a few trips, build ships and recruit sailors at the same time, it won't take two or three years, you will have your own fleet, what do you think?"

Wang Ren said this, and looked at Xue Pan with a smile.

Speaking of which, he tried his best to pry himself and took the initiative to hire ships and people, so naturally he had his plans.

Haimao Lifeng, now that the ban on the sea is open, he wants to get involved, but the cost is very insufficient.

The Xue family is rich and has a strong family foundation, and there is only Xue Pan, the only son in the big house, his father died, and the family property was tossed by him.

In contrast, although his Wang family is also rich, but three generations in the same house, he, the third son of the Wang family, has a good family, but he has not really divided the family, and the family property that falls into his hands is very limited, of course, he still has some industries in the army, but when he operates, it is thousands of taels of silver a year, and he has more money on hand on weekdays, so he can't have much left, so let him take out the capital of sea trade, and the total is not more than 10,000 taels.

This little money, how can he do sea trade, even if he is on another ship, he can only occupy a small share, but cooperating with Xue Pan is naturally different, he can say that Xue Pan will help him advance money first, Xue is a big nerd, he can completely say that he can move.

In this way, it only takes a trip to come back smoothly, and since then there has been a considerable amount of money, which can be described as borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and there is no profit from this.

In any case, this has to be done.

"Huh...... Your Wang family's powerful faction in the city back then, I heard our wife say a lot better, so I naturally know it...... There was a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling, referring to that time? It's no exaggeration, wasn't the affairs of the sea all under your royal family's control at that time? ”

Hearing this, Xue Pan stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Ren, and laughed.

PS: I've been busy lately, and I have to rewrite the first volume, so I don't have enough time and energy, so I thought about it, and I put it at six o'clock in the afternoon. But this is not the norm, and when the first volume is rewritten and put on the shelves, it will naturally not be intermittent...... Well, for the sake of the fact that there are so many free words at the moment, book friends should not be too harsh. Thanks to Kuaifeng for the tip of 500 coins!
