Under Su Baiyi's obscenity, under the eyes of everyone, under the coercion of a group of powerful people!

Mao Bijiang and Chen Zhenhui had to sign an "alliance under the city" with Su Baiyi that belonged to the Fushe, admitting that the Fushe had lost 3.5 million taels of silver because of a bet with Yuyuan.

Then, the two of them left the venue almost in collapse.

"Hahaha!" Xue Han, the prince of Yangwu Hou, looked at Su Baiyi and laughed, patted him on the shoulder by the way, and said: "If this Yin person can be ranked according to seniority, if you Su Baiyi is called second, no one dares to call him first, and I will accept it, my surname is Xue." A bet won 3.5 million taels of silver, a big deal, a big deal, those casinos can die! ”

Cheng Kaikai pulled Kang Hui from a distance, raised his eyebrows and said: "I'm not wrong, Lord Su's handwriting is getting bigger and bigger every time, first Lord Qin of Guide Mansion was slaughtered by him for 6,000 taels, and then Lord Tang of Qin Tianjian was Yin 10,000 taels by him, now it's okay, the Fushe dares to question him in public, 3.5 million taels, it's not enough to sell my old Cheng." ”

Kang Hui looked at Su Baiyi, his body shook slightly, and he lost color and said, "It's amazing, let's go outside!" ”

In a short time, the entire hall was cleaned.

Su Baiyi stretched his waist and walked out of the attic, seeing that there were still hundreds of people in the garden outside around the railway to watch the train walk, waiting in line to get on the train to experience it, he suddenly felt that he was still not ruthless enough.

If it's ruthless enough, from now on make a toll booth outside the garden, no matter who comes to visit and play, you have to pay a fee, one hundred dollars per person, love doesn't come, it is estimated that you can earn ten taels of silver a day, isn't it?

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd outside, Su Baiyi smiled, did not enter the garden, went directly to the second floor of the small attic, sat down in the study, picked up the pen and began to write in a very ugly font.

To be precise, it's a note!

The railway record sale ended successfully, and the 40 shares originally prepared were not used up, and only 13 shares were sold at the record sale, plus the two shares of Cao Huachun and Cheng Kaikai, a total of 15 shares.

Fifteen shares of the railway were sold for 18 million taels of silver, which was also unexpected by Su Baiyi.

These things have to be played, especially how the singing and selling will be held, how much silver each share is sold, and it is clearly written, and Su Baiyi even wrote the name of the winner clearly.

As for the fact that only thirteen shares were sold at the auction, and the other two shares were sold at a low price of 500,000 taels of silver, Su Baiyi also explained a little, saying that it was that there was a lack of funds for mining iron ore and setting up a steel workshop and buying coal in the early stage, so he temporarily sold it at a price of 500,000 taels, but he didn't expect that the follow-up railway shares would be auctioned at a sky-high price.

For the mistakes of these two stocks, Su Baiyi wrote a letter to ask for guilt!

But it's just a formality! Because he originally planned to raise 20 million with 40 shares, he now basically completed the task with only 15 shares, and I believe that the emperor will not really be guilty because of these trivial things.

Besides, except for him Su Baiyi, there is no one in this world who can support the girder of the railway construction, even if the emperor wants to rectify him, he will not make a move at present.

After the song was written, he asked Li Suo to pass it to the emperor through the Jinyi Guard, and said: "Is that Heluo merchant Kang Hui still in the garden, if so, you call him to my study, and say that I have something important to discuss!" ”

After a while, Kang Hui was led by a brocade guard to Su Baiyi's study on the second floor, Su Baiyi got up with a smile and invited Kang Hui to sit down opposite his desk, which flattered him.

In the Ming Dynasty, the master's study is a relatively private place, and the general reception is in the living room to meet and rarely invite people to their study.

But Su Baiyi is an exception.

Because he doesn't understand this set of rules at all.

He smiled and personally brought Kang Hui a cup of tea in front of him, Kang Hui was so shocked that he stood up again, took the teacup respectfully with both hands, and kept saying: "The adult has tormented the villain, the villain has been tormented......"

"Why didn't Mr. Kang make a move today?" Su Baiyi asked with a smile, he didn't think that Kang Hui's strength was weak.

"Oh!" Kang Hui arched his hand and said: "Kang Mou has already won a share yesterday, and if he shoots again today, he will be too greedy." The most taboo thing for us who run on the rivers and lakes is greed. ”

Su Baiyi nodded. Kang Hui is a person with sharp eyes, a keen sense of smell, decisive action and not greed, which is especially valuable for a businessman.

It seems that it is not without reason that the ancestors of the Heluokang family have risen for generations, and compared with him, Cheng Kaikai and his ilk seem to be a grade lower.

"Invite Mr. Kang here today, it's still the same old saying!" Su Baiyi's face became serious: "Then the shipbuilding matter proposed by the Japanese official, I don't know what Mr. Kang is thinking about?" ”

Sure enough, it came!

Kang Hui's heart felt like he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and he was about to breathe. If he doesn't agree to cooperate, with Su Baiyi's current power and status, when the railway is repaired to their Heluo land, he can find a reason to fix him, and it will really be enough for him to drink a pot.

But if he agrees to him today, one of the two thighs of the Heluo Kang family will be cut off with a knife, which will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his Kang family.

To say yes or not to say yes?

Although he was roaring angrily in his heart, Kang Hui's face was very calm, and he took a deep breath and said, "Master Su, can you think about it for a while?" ”

"I can't wait!" Su Baiyi's brows furrowed slightly. He really couldn't wait.

The great voyage of the world had begun, and even if he began to prepare now, it would take five years or more to catch the train, and it would be very smooth without any accidents, and the emperor would be able to persuade the minister to open the sea ban.

Five years doesn't sound like a long time, but how much can you get in five years?

You know, ninety-nine years ago, Spain had already crossed the Atlantic to conquer Peru and turn Peru into his colony.

About 80 years ago, Spain looted black slaves from Africa and transported them to the Americas to mine gold and silver, and transported 5,500 kilograms of gold and 246,000 kilograms of silver from the Americas every year.

Forty-four years ago, Britain defeated the Spanish Armada and became the supremacy of the seas.

Twenty-nine years ago, the Dutch East India Company was founded with the permission of the Queen of England and began a worldwide plundering of resources and a monopoly on trade.

Twelve years ago, the Mayflower had already set out from Britain to the Americas, and formulated the "Mayflower Convention", which began the establishment and growth of American imperialism.

If any of this is far away, then eight years ago, the Dutch colonists invaded and occupied Taiwan.

Five years!

How many five years are there in life?

Su Baiyi's eyes were as sharp as two knives, directly penetrating the roof, as if falling on the sea thousands of miles away, and he didn't have much time to wait.

Shipbuilding is imperative, and if a hundred officials block it, I will be the enemy of a hundred officials; If the court blocks it, I will be the enemy of the court; If the people of the world block me, I will be the enemy of the people of the world.

No one can stop me from stepping into the ocean.

Su Baiyi shook his hand, then closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, the tea in the cup wafted out a delicate fragrance, birds chirped outside the window, and the sun was overflowing.

"I am going to build a large port in Haizhou (now Lianyungang) and set up a shipyard." Su Baiyi stared at Kang Hui and said: "A few days ago, I have sent someone over to check the terrain, it is estimated that the waterway will be built within the year, and then we will be able to recruit workers, and we can build ships. ”

Haizhou is the eastern starting point of the Longhai Railway, if you can establish a shipbuilding base here, the transportation of various large wood and other materials is not a problem, and the combination of sea and land, it is easy to form a huge port, and it may become the commercial center of the entire Ming Dynasty in the future.

In later generations, Lianyungang was the largest port in Jiangsu Province and one of the 25 major ports in the country.

"I'm very sincere!" Su Baiyi added another sentence.

In fact, he is not sincere, but there are no partners to choose from other than Kang Hui.

The Ming Dynasty also had official shipyards, among the three major shipyards, the Qingjiang Shipyard was the most, followed by the Weihe Shipyard, and the Longjiang Shipyard in Nanjing.

But the people in the official mansion, Su Baiyi really didn't want to cooperate.

The ships he built were used for navigation, and generally speaking, large ships were the majority, and steam engines were also installed on the ships for ocean-going trade, and if they were mixed with the government, they would inevitably block their own navigation. It's not that he doesn't believe in Chongzhen's ability, but the bad things in the officialdom are too bad.

It is most practical to build a shipyard by yourself.

I believe that after the sea ban is opened, the emperor will also support it!

"The villain still has to go back and discuss with the people of the clan!" Kang Hui didn't know whether to refuse or agree, and he was confused for a while, so he could only shirk the prevarication first.

Su Baiyi took a sip of water, took a deep breath and looked like a heart-to-heart, and his voice was long: "Mr. Kang, you still don't understand the benefits of this, it can be said that if you cooperate with me, the profits produced by this shipyard will be very considerable, and the profits of one percent should still be there for you to bring hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Kang family every year." ”

"Of course, if you don't cooperate with this official, you will be the one who suffers, and the Mu family is a lesson from the past!" Seeing the sudden change in Kang Hui's face, Su Baiyi said again: "You are worried, what this official said is not to trouble you and squeeze you, but once my big ship is produced, your Kang family's shipyard can go out of business, and at most it can only produce a few small boats." ”

Kang Hui continued to be silent, reaching out and taking a sip of tea.

"Don't believe me?" Su Baiyi chuckled, and tapped his right hand on the table slightly: "Mr. Kang, you are a shrewd businessman, can't you think of something after seeing the train?" ”

"What?" Kang Hui's hand shook.

"You say, what will happen if this official applies the power of fire and water to the big ship?" The corners of Su Baiyi's mouth twitched.

Kang Hui's pupils shrank, his body shook, and the tea in the cup couldn't help but spill out.
