Chapter 235: Joy is over
Huang Sheng did not hesitate to spend more money on the construction of a large number of new grain depots on several islands in order to prepare for as much grain as possible, so that he could save the Han people who were facing starvation in the future.

Huang Sheng bought rice and spent another 210,000 taels of silver, bought 300,000 stones, and Huang Sheng's 70,000 taels and the shares of several partners of the Li family could get 140,000 taels of silver.
I brought 150,000 taels of silver for porcelain, Songjiang cloth, soap gift box, and diorama, and I could return more than 600,000 taels of silver, and the cash that I could bring back after such a large purchase was only more than 100,000 taels.
Li Er saw that such a shrewd Lord Huang did a stupid thing and bought all the goods with his hard-earned silver, and thought it was not worth it, and advised:
"Lord Huang, the little one thinks that Qianli does not sell cheap things, and the price of a stone of rice is only such that when you buy it in Nanzhili, the journey is nearly half that of buying from Japan, and no one is willing to do such a business, why is this?"
Of course, Huang Shenghua is generous, and the son he picked up is not difficult to be a soldier! The pirates' supplies were handed over to Li Guozhu to sell the stolen goods, and this kid gave himself more than half of the cash he got from shipping in Edo.
The Huang family got more than 600,000 taels of silver at once, and even the cash silver seized from the pirate's lair was brought back with nearly 1 million taels of silver this time, and the Huang family didn't have to worry about the cost of investment for several years.
Huang Sheng said with a smile: "Then you still need to say, it's too troublesome and wasteful, and there is no profit." ”
Li Guozhu didn't understand Lord Huang's purpose even more, and asked, "Since your Excellency knows that you don't make money by transporting rice and grain over long distances, why do you want to buy it from Japan, which is even more farther away?" ”
"The first reason is that the official only brought it with him when he went back, and he did not come specifically to transport grain, so the freight was negligible, and the second reason was that the official had a spare grain depot, and the storage cost was limited and the loss was not large. The last reason is the most important, it doesn't matter if the official has more trouble, Daming can produce a lot more food! ”
Li Guozhu and Li Er were talking about business just now, and at this time, they were thinking about Huang Sheng's words.
In fact, Huang Sheng also calculated, freight plus the labor cost of short barge and a certain amount of storage loss, there must be no profit, maybe it will be reversed, the problem is that after the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters continued, and an extra 300,000 stone of rice could pull hundreds of thousands of people back from the brink of starvation.
As for how many people will go hungry if there is so much less grain in Japan, Huang Sheng can't care about it, anyway, they will catch fish and eat, so they should think of a way to increase the sown area next year.
The total tonnage of the return cargo reached 30,000 tons, and the Huang family's warships and cargo ships were too full to fit, thanks to the pirates who provided eleven No. 2 Fuship-class warships and dozens of ships the size of horse ships.
It can be seen that the profits of what are not as fast as the robbers! No wonder the Han people jokingly call robbery a business with no capital!
Li Er figured out Lord Huang's words and saluted him: "Lord Huang is kind-hearted and admires the little ones, and in the future, our Li family can also bring some grain when the merchant ships come and go." ”
Huang Sheng said to Li Guozhu: "The reason why the official does not suppress the price of the grain sold by those big names is to make them profitable, Li Gongzi also wants to build a grain depot in the private port to help the official buy grain, the official will run once a year during the autumn harvest, you can't pay less than 300,000 stone to the official, no matter how cheap the price you can get, the official will settle with you according to seven coins of silver and one stone." ”
Li Guozhu was overjoyed, he saw that the well-earned copper ingots no longer needed to be handled by him, and he directly signed a supply contract with General Zhengyi.
This time, because Tokugawa Iemitsu had controlled the copper ingot trade for many years and had too many supplies in his hands, and because the Japanese side was at a loss, he was slapped in the face by the Ming Dynasty, and he was not very insistent in the negotiations.
Shang Muming and Bian Zhiming, the negotiators of the Huang Sheng faction, were instructed by the head of the family to focus on the negotiation to buy as many copper ingots as they wanted, and the price was also the main content of the negotiations.
The Japanese side, in line with the attitude of sending the plague god, also compensated the British duke for being robbed of too many merchant ships, gritted its teeth and gave 5 million catties.
The Japanese know that in Daming, copper is money, and Japan also uses copper money, and the reason why they control the outflow of copper is this reason, and there will not be so much long-term cooperation in the future, and they really can't take it, and the contract is finalized to deliver one million catties every autumn, and the price is still one tael of silver and sixteen catties.
Li Guozhu took over the business of buying grain on behalf of the Huang family, and with his network in Japan, there are too many places where he can buy a large amount of rice, and Kagoshima can buy a lot, and it is also the cheapest grain to be delivered at the time of the autumn harvest, of course, it is profitable, as for whether he can earn 20% or more, it depends on the output of rice in Japan next year.
Huang Sheng made a fortune in Japan with his people, and he didn't know that the Ming Jingshi had been turned upside down by one happy event after another.
On the ninth day of August in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, more than 3,000 people from Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Dacheng and Gao Zhimou came to Tianjin Wei, and the civil and military forces at all levels of Tianjin Wei, who had already received the news, came to the dock to greet them.
Zhang Zhiji and the others naturally performed at the dock again, so that everyone could see the stinky Jiannu head, there was no way not to stink, after all, the temperature was too high in August and September, although it was all nitrated, the stench of disgusting people still could not be covered.
But the onlookers didn't feel stinky, they couldn't say how happy they looked at those grinning heads, and they couldn't wait to kick a few as balls.
The delegation beat gongs and drums all the way to show the military and civilians along the way, such a meaningful political propaganda also catered to the meaning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and many officials also helped to build momentum, and the scenery was not lively all the way.
In a short distance, the nobles walked for five days to reach the Beijing Division, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces welcomed ten miles, even the nine thousand years old and the British duke came, and there were many elders.
The common people of Beijing, who had just recovered from the fear of the explosion of Wang Gongchang, saw that the young grandfather of the British public who coincidentally presided over the fight on May 6 and led everyone out of the capital of Beijing went to Liaodong to attack and kill Jiannu and returned to the capital to tell each other about the excitement.
The nobles in bright armor entered the inner city from the Desheng Gate with their heads held high, and offered many gains at the noon gate, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Long Yan Dayue, asked the cabinet to discuss the reward.
Daming Jingshi civil and military including the emperor are happy and happy for a Mid-Autumn Festival, who knows that good things are repeated, at the end of August Liaodong came good news, the old slave braided, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military shouted God bless the Ming, wild boar skin died Liaodong worry-free!
At this time, none of them could have imagined that Da Ming's nightmare would come, and that sinister strategist Red Gang was much more powerful than his murderous demon Lao Tzu.
The Chu'er girl, who was already accustomed to work, saw her brother coming back in a beautiful way, and pestered him to inquire about the news of her sweetheart, but unfortunately Zhang Zhiji didn't see her prospective brother-in-law at all this time, and she didn't know anything about his whereabouts, she only knew that the Huang family's horses had a surprise attack on Fuzhou, and she didn't hear that the head of the family was injured.
The British princess was naturally relieved, and he set up an unknown number of banquets and invited countless eunuchs for more than a month, and his prestige in the court was increasing day by day, and he publicly recognized that Lord Huang Sheng was his family's son-in-law.
The old lady had no pimples in her heart for a long time, and she accompanied Chu'er to the temple to offer incense, and when she saw her daughter muttering to herself, she blessed the talented man with peace and security, and she usually taught her how to manage the inner house with her daughter, and she couldn't be a jealous woman and so on.
