As soon as everyone sat down after a few greetings, Wu Xiang gave a stack of silver tickets, Huang Sheng was puzzled, of course not, and asked, "General Wu, what does this mean?" ”

"Lord Huang, the lower official has something to ask for your help!"

Huang Sheng thought that he was going to build a slave head again, but now that he had the capital, he didn't want to make a fuss about it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

excused himself: "Jiannu has suffered losses one after another, and he has learned to be obedient, but now he is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for this official to find a chance to start!" ”

"My lord misunderstood, this time I didn't ask my lord to cut off the head of Jiannu, but I wanted to ask my lord to escort the fleet of several friends of Xia Guan to go to the country of Wa."

Sea trade? Running to Kyushu Island, Huang Sheng's heart was overjoyed, it was really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it, and he was thinking about finding someone to take him to run sea trade to make a fortune in the future, and the Huang family tried every means to build warships and cargo ships to prepare for such a day.

It seems that garbage is really a misplaced treasure! This Wu Xiang is simply a living treasure!

"In this ......, how did General Wu learn that this officer has the ability to send your friend's fleet to the Wa Kingdom?"

"My lord, other people don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, but Xia Guan knows the true face of Lushan, Xia Guan often has a boat to deliver goods to Huangjiashan Island, the adult's warship, the adult's family, the next official is the most trustworthy."

"General Wu, this official is also an incumbent official, how can he travel thousands of miles to the Japanese country?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the adults are willing to go, they will be arranged by the head and their own officials, the Jiannu fine work is too bad, they will peep at my Daming logistics base Juehua Island in the merchant ships of the Japanese Kingdom in July, and the adults will be ordered to pursue the Japanese merchant ships and capture the Jiannu fine work, isn't it right?"

This kid really can't fight, everything else is good! The time was also revealed, probably in July. It's only the end of April, and there's still more than two months to prepare.

"When to leave? Where to meet? How many kind of merchant ships, is there any force for self-preservation? Huang Sheng thought for a short time and then asked a series of questions.

Wu Xiang saw Huang Sheng ask this, and knew that he had agreed to make a trip nine times out of ten, and said happily: "On July 10, we met in the open sea of Tianjin Wei, and the three No. 2 Fu ships each had four artillery pieces on board, and each ship had no less than 20 gunners and gunners. ”

Huang Sheng laughed and said: "No wonder you want to be escorted by a warship, such equipment is not much different from no force, the second lucky ship is big and slow, and encountering pirates is equivalent to giving a gift to others." ”

Several people looked at each other with shame, they were doing big business, it turned out that such equipment was already good, and there had been no accident for several years, but last year they encountered a pirate ship and was robbed of a No. 2 lucky ship, and even the loss of 100,000 taels of silver with the cargo on the ship was more than 100,000 taels of silver, and the gunners, sailors, and gunners on the ship did not survive.

It is not easy to create a maritime trade path in Japan, and we have been working together for seven or eight years and have trusted each other.

If there is no delivery of goods to the agreed transaction date, you will lose your trust, and you can not do big business without credit, and people will not be able to wait for the goods to be dishonest with the distributors below.

Therefore, the agent of the Wa Kingdom will definitely find others to cooperate, and his family will not only have to compensate for the liquidated damages, but may also lose this source of wealth forever.

At sea, it is better to have a strong ship than a gun, but whether you have a background or not, these shrewd officials and businessmen thought of the imperial court sailors, and were ready to use the means of bribing officials to let the imperial court send ships to help them make private fortunes.

They want to find a spokesperson to operate this matter, and Wu Xiang, whose business partner is also a military attache of the imperial court, is of course the best choice.

Wu Xiangjiu has been in the army for a long time, and he knows too much about the virtues of the imperial court sailors, and the adults who manage the sailors have a great appetite and are not good at talking about the conditions.

The soldiers under his command are too bad to have any combat effectiveness, and most of the well-maintained warships are doing private work for them, and there are only a handful of them that can be used in a battle.

If you ask for these adults, it's okay to spend more money.

However, if the imperial navy could not defeat the pirates at sea and suffered losses, everyone would be in big trouble.

When adults take the silver, they are not afraid of too little, and when something happens, they pass the buck to each other, and they all rush to clear themselves.

The final result is unpredictable, nine times out of ten it is necessary to compensate the court for the war damage, compensate the officers and soldiers who died in battle, and the silver thrown out to wipe their butts may be a bottomless pit.

Wu Xiang introduced them to the heroic Lord Huang Sheng, who came to take the heads of Jiannu, and also told them that several of the warships of this lord were also privately armed, and their private work had nothing to do with the imperial court. His subordinates are all family members, and they will not mess around if there are casualties.

Of course, the businessmen wanted to maximize their interests, and the officials and businessmen were even darker, so they asked Wu Xiang to send 3,000 taels of silver tickets, and promised to send 3,000 taels of hardship after returning safely.

Huang Sheng knew the history, and the profits of the sea trade in this era were roughly counted, and the three No. 2 Fu ships could carry 150,000 taels of silver, and the gross profit could be doubled by handing them over to the agents of the Wa Kingdom.

The cost of the No. 2 Fu ship was about 50,000 taels of silver, and the displacement was about 800 to 1,000 tons.

A No. 2 Fu ship has to successfully run two trips to the Japanese country, and even the capital and profits have returned, so everyone is greedy for such a lucrative business.

Of course, the sea trade was firmly controlled by the landlords and bureaucrats, and later a Zheng Yiguan appeared, who was the biggest pirate plus maritime merchant and bureaucracy.

Since Huang Sheng is out of this era, of course, Zheng Yiguan cannot be allowed to dominate the sea trade, this kid has no ambition and soft bones, no national self-esteem at all, and there is no psychological pressure at all to surrender to Jiannu as a slave.

According to historical records, after this kid monopolized the sea trade, in addition to doing his own business, he also collected the protection fee of the passing sea ships, a No. 2 lucky ship as high as 3,000 taels of silver, this kid's annual financial income is more than the Ming court, and I don't know where this slave used the silver?

Huang Sheng didn't waste time bargaining with them, and said to Wu Xiang: "This official can take a warship to accompany them on a trip to the Japanese country, not only do not need one tael of silver for escort fees, but also pay 20,000 taels of silver to partner with them." This official's warship should be able to hold 20,000 taels of cargo, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other, and a leading Li Gongzi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just do it like this, in the future, Lord Huang will be of the same mind as everyone, and the profits at that time will definitely not favor one over the other, and everyone will share the amount of the capital paid." ”

Huang Sheng was very bad, and with a little subcalculation, he increased the benefit of this trip from 6,000 taels to about 20,000 taels. He is not afraid that these people will fly across the sea, and he knows the delivery location and contact person, so he can do it alone.

These people dare to swallow their own capital, could it be that Lord Huang is a vegetarian, and sooner or later he will seize the opportunity to rob their ships and goods! These people are human spirits, so they shouldn't be so blind.
