The advantages of the sea route are obvious, in fact, this essence is the same as the canal, the same ship's goods, if there is a canal connection, the loss and cost is the lowest.

But if the two places are not connected to the canal, how many carts are needed for a shipload of goods, how much manpower is needed, and how much time is needed?

If the convoy of hundreds of carts, not to mention anything else, just encountered a torrential rain on the way, they might have to stay in place and rest for ten days and half a month, and how much food would the hundreds of people who drove and escorted the cars need to consume in these ten days and a half months?

This...... It's just a rainstorm, these thousands of miles, maybe the cars and horses are different, and when they encounter high mountains, they have to let people carry goods over the mountains and mountains, and the hardships can be imagined.

But if it is a sea transport, it is completely different, of course, provided that there are ships that can really go to sea, led by professional people.

And now, even the most powerful shipbuilding ability of the Yue country, their sea ships can only sail along the edge of the continent, the real into the deep sea of ships, need to be extremely strong resistance to wind and waves, otherwise, the slightest carelessness, will be destroyed by this devastating hurricane and waves.

So these people don't know about maritime trade, so they don't understand the profits, but that's okay, everything can be explained.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at everyone again before he slowly spoke again.

"I took a person who purchased goods for the Yang family in Jibei, you must have also read this person's confession in this secret music, every year, his purchase volume in Jibei is millions of taels of silver, these millions of taels of silver goods are loaded on ships, shipped out of the sea, can be worth tens of millions, not only that, they are also in the Franco, in Tianzhu, in Dashi, set up a large number of trade points, but also in the island, established a territory, they will connect the dots in series, intercommunicate with each other, such as Western spices, The glass and specialty of the Franc machine, the horses of the big food, this mutual trade, is still amazing, and even they are still in Kunlun Prefecture, the slave trade, the natives of Kunlun Prefecture took it, and resold the big food, the Franc machine. ”

When Chen Kaizhi said this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said to everyone.

"So I have reason to believe that their net profits will be more than tens of millions of taels of silver every year, or even more, in addition to recruiting more people and building more ships with this silver, they are also taking advantage of fishing profits and hoarding countless wealth in their strongholds, this Yang family has been operating for two hundred years, monopolizing gold and silver minerals in many places, and gathering countless treasures from all over the world, if I say that they have a net worth of billions, I think it is conservative."

Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe it.

The treasury of each country is numbered, although all countries collect taxes in kind, and the cash they collect is not much, but even if they add in kind, the tax for a year is at most equivalent to Yang's income.

But on the surface, it seems to be the same, but in fact, it is not, the silver earned by the Yang family in the sea trade, this is real, no matter how ugly it is, in addition to hiring manpower and shipbuilding, there is no other consumption, and the countries are different, although they also get a huge tax every year, but in essence, the expenses are more, encountered a famine, need relief, hundreds of thousands of troops, although the vast majority of the defenders, in fact, the combat power is not high, but for the sake of long-term peace and stability, it still has to be raised, in addition, there are many officials and nobles, In addition to this, it is necessary to take on many responsibilities such as indoctrination and even the construction of castles.

That is to say, the so-called taxes, in addition to being the son of heaven can enjoy the luxury, repair the palace, and raise a large number of harem concubines, in fact, in essence, it is just a hand in the treasury, and you can't save much silver in a year, and even many times, you still can't make ends meet, and you need to rely on the court to open up other sources of wealth in order to barely maintain.

Therefore, this billions of wealth can be called amazing, and the profit of tens of millions of taels of silver every year is enough to make even a noble king can't help but be dumbfounded.

For them, this is the Yang family, which can be said to be extremely rich.

Chen Kaizhi saw that everyone was very surprised, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.

"Yang's family, rich and rival the country, even ...... I believe that if the Yang clan wants to become the lord of a country, it will be easy to call it a breeze, but do you know why the Yang clan wants to be the duckweed of this sea? Because if you are the king, you and I are like this, although it is claimed that the whole world is not the king's land, although it is claimed that it is under the command of heaven, there are thousands of subjects, but for the sake of the country, it also shoulders a huge responsibility, and the Yang family, but they do not have to bear any responsibility, they seem to have no courtiers, but they only need to spend money to hire, it seems that there are no people to worship, but they do not need the people to fetters, there is no need to educate the people, and there is no need to find ways to make the people have a bite to eat, so that they can keep themselves in peace. ”

"And now......" Chen Kaizhi's eyes were gloomy, he glanced at everyone deeply, and then said solemnly: "The Yang clan controls all countries, I will never be reconciled to be at the mercy of the Yang clan, and you, are you willing to be at the mercy of them?" I invite you to come, one is to destroy Yang, and the other is to discuss the return of Prince Qian Sheng. ”

"But how easy it is to destroy Yang, so I invite all countries to come here to discuss the plan."

The more Chen Kaizhi spoke, the more excited he became, he stood up, paced back and forth, he glanced at everyone deeply, it seemed that the monarchs of various countries were not very enthusiastic about this.

This is actually understandable.

This Yang family is so difficult, and it is overseas, destroy Yang...... It's not easy.

It can be said that such an offer is not liked by anyone.

After all, countries do not want to waste their national strength in vain, and the current situation, although it is dissatisfying, is at least much better than some drastic change.

Chen Kaizhi didn't know their thoughts, but if it was him, if it was something unbeneficial, he wouldn't be keen to do it.

Therefore, he smiled, and then continued: "It is not easy to destroy Yang, but I have a way, the Yang clan rises by sea trade, so why don't we join forces and compete with them with sea trade?" This sea trade is a huge profit, which can be called a profitable business, and once it is completed, it will have tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold returns. ”

"Not only that, but we must not only establish a maritime trading house to sell our goods, but at the same time, we can also build ships on a large scale and strike at Yang's fleet, and even ...... In the future, if there is an opportunity, you can go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and rob them of their goods, their stronghold, they have a huge treasure overseas, and if you can get this treasure, what a huge profit? ”

United...... Ocean shipping......

Suddenly, it seems that someone is starting to be touched.

Even if Chen Kaizhi said 10,000 words, how damn the Yang family was, how stinky and shameless it was, for them, it actually didn't matter.

After all...... Righteous indignation cannot be eaten, even if everyone is a person with a sense of justice, but because of their sense of justice, they gamble on their national fortunes, which is ...... Isn't that crazy?

So no one would do that.

But now what Chen Kaizhi is raising is another question.

You see, the Yang family is making so much money, let's watch him sit and collect huge profits, you can bear it, I can't bear it, now I just take the lead, the big guys simply join together and kill the Yang family, won't this sea trade be able to monopolize it?

The Yang family is overseas, and there are huge treasures, if they are killed, by then, everyone here will have a few lifetimes, and they will not be able to spend money on extravagance.

Yan Chengwu was obviously moved.

Originally, the Yan people were infested by the Japanese invaders, so he was also supportive of Yang in his heart, and now, there is a beautiful prospect in front of him, why not teach him to start his heart?

It can be said that he is very much in agreement, and is almost willing to raise his hands.

And the monarch of the Yue Kingdom also seemed to be very interested, but he was still worried, so he couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

"It is easy to destroy the poplar, but how to destroy the poplar? Since the Yang clan has been operating overseas for hundreds of years, if you want to shake their foundation, I am afraid that it will not be easy, not to mention, it is not easy to compete with them in the sea trade. ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "What I want to say is this, everything is difficult at the beginning, but no matter how difficult it is, as long as it starts, why be afraid?" Therefore, I first proposed that the Son of Heaven of all countries might as well worship as brothers, so as to ensure that countries do not attack each other, and put their minds on this great plan to destroy Yang. Second, if the sailors of each country are afraid that it will be very easy to be broken by each of the Yang fleets, the first thing is that all countries conclude an alliance to jointly establish a joint trading house, and all the major royal families have shares, and this joint trading house is only dedicated to building ships and going to sea, communicating with each other, and ensuring shipping, and all countries have shares, so the profits of this trading house are divided equally among the shares of each country, and each country has granted the right to charter the commercial house, so that the commercial house has all kinds of privileges above the laws of each country, and makes new rules. It is necessary to protect the rights of the shareholders of each country without being bound by ordinary laws. ”

The so-called United Firm, in essence, is a transcendent organization, which is not bound by ordinary laws and has great power in various countries, and at the same time, it is only an organization of commercial houses, and it can be controlled by each country.

This...... Obviously, for countries, although it is a bit jerky and difficult to understand, but ...... It doesn't seem to be a non-negotiable thing.

In this world, after all, you can't escape the saying that no profit can not be early.

Obviously, someone was moved, and the son of Yue Guo was busy looking back, and talked in a low voice with several Yue Guo courtiers who were kneeling behind him; The crown prince of Chu also asked for the opinion of an envoy of Chu next to him in a low voice.
