What Xiao Jiu said to Miao Haichao was half-true, the real situation was indeed that Su You stayed with the shopkeeper of the Yangzhou branch of Qijun Qianzhuang and the shopkeeper of the Yangzhou branch of Dongdu Qianzhuang, but it was not a banquet, but a discussion of plans for the future.

The people present also include Mai Tiezhu, Zhang Zhenzhou, Xiao Wei and others

After more than ten days of tug-of-war, Su Youtong Guò Xiao Wei's hands earned nearly 20 million yuan in cash in this grain war, and even after excluding the cost, there are still 13 or 4 million yuan left.

From more than 5 million to more than 20 million, isn't this violence?

Of course, if the money is distributed, the decision-maker Su You obviously wants to take the lion's share, and he will have to take at least 10 million yuan.

In fact, Su You did not intend to take out the money, but took advantage of the situation to advocate several large trading companies and money banks that had cooperated in the grain war to join the Seven Seas Trading Company in order to expand overseas trade.

Yao Wenguang, Xiao Wei and others are still a little apprehensive about investing in overseas trade, firstly because the sea is too mysterious, and more importantly, because they were not decision-makers in the first place, so this matter will not be decided for a while.

As for Zhang Zhenzhou, after he escorted Yanbei to Yangzhou, he returned with a full load.

It can be said that the fifty boats of grain that came to Yangzhou in Yanbei only showed up slightly, and they were directly brought back to Yangzhou by Zhang Zhenzhou.

Of course, Su You is not a stingy person, because of Zhang Zhenzhou's extra labor, he took out 200,000 yuan from his personal treasury to compensate him; The reason why he is so generous, of course, is also related to the fact that he owes him the fifty war horses he promised.

Xiao Wei and the others left, Zhang Zhenzhou also left satisfied, and Mai Tiezhu naturally got a satisfactory promise when he left.

After everyone left, Su You could finally spend his time on coming to Yanbei.

When Su You returned to the backyard, Lai Yanbei was teasing the snow mastiff that Turandot gave him with Shuang'er; Seeing Su You coming in, Lai Yanbei handed over the snow mastiff to Shuang'er, and then greeted Su You.

"Do you want me?" After Su You watched Shuang'er leave, he immediately hugged Lai Yanbei.

Lai Yanbei was speechless, just burst into tears.

Su You let go of him and comforted him in a low voice, "It's hard work, but the harvest is good." If it weren't for the food you brought back, I would have been devastated. ”

"This is also the will of heaven in the dark, if it weren't for the fact that you and General Zhang had a deal to rent ships and hire soldiers, how could I bring back so much food? So this time, it was your foresight that saved you. ”

"Well, well, since you left, life has been terrible, living in nightmares all day long" Su You came to Yanbei, it was already mid-spring weather at this time, but Yangzhou was in Jiangbei, spring came later, and the two talked and walked to the house.

When he came to Yanbei to listen to Su You's lovesickness, he was naturally happy in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Then, do I want to leave you to go out to do business in the future?" ”

"Don't want it, right? You will stay in Yangzhou in the future, as long as you have the name of the president of Nanami Trading Company, let Uncle Sun and Pisces worry about the outside affairs, you go to see the store every day, and then you can come back to visit the park. ”

"Okay, I also know that I just want to come forward, anyway, I have you." Lai Yanbei nodded, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the garden you promised me was also built?" ”

Su You nodded, "Well, I also named it 'Grand View Garden', what do you think?" Speaking of this Grand View Garden, it can be regarded as a venue for cash-for-work by mistake; At the beginning of the construction work, there were only seven or eight thousand, but now there are 15,000, but with the collapse of food prices, it is estimated that in a few days these workers will be greatly reduced. ”

"These people" came to Yanbei to hear Su You say this, and naturally felt that these people were ungrateful, because Su You built this grand view garden for food and shelter, and when the food reached a sky-high price, how attractive should it be to eat?

But now

"It's okay, it's all in the plan, according to my original design, this grand garden could have been completed a long time ago, but in order to help those refugees, I had to do my best." Su You shook his head, said this indifferently, and asked Laiyan Beidao again, "By the way, are you still going to class this way?" I would also like to hear about your experience for more than half a month. ”

Lai Yanbei nodded, and immediately fell into memory.

"Since you disembarked at Qindo that day, our fleet arrived in Baekje quickly under the guidance of Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, and after arriving in Baekje, we escorted Buyeo Myeong. Hui entered the palace, and when the king of Baekje saw that we had sent back the princess and brought back a lot of Baekje's scarce supplies, he immediately treated me with great hospitality. I followed our established strategy, bought him a large piece of land at the docks, and paid someone to start building a warehouse on the land."

Su You nodded, the reason why he had this idea was because of the hooligan clause of those Western countries who came to China to open commercial ports in later generations and then demanded the most favored nation treatment.

Su You wanted to occupy the port in Baekje, so naturally he also had these bad intentions.

Lai Yanbei continued, "I was selling goods in Baekje while buying grain, and the grain was recovered in the way of barter, and more goods were still backlogged in the warehouse, Brother Zhang may have been addicted to this half-month voyage, and then he used most of the money we earned from Baekje to buy ships and other goods and sailed to Silla, and basically his original subordinates went with him, except for Wonqi Lady and her maids." ”

Su You immediately guessed, "In other words, you didn't bring any money back at all."

Lai Yanbei blushed, and also felt that he was a little defeated, how much did it cost when Nanami Trading Company was established? After going back and forth, the cash in her hand was not even 500,000 yuan, and it shrank nearly ten times.

However, half of the things that came to Yanbei were still in the warehouse in Baekje, and the next time I went back, I could collect the money directly, and more importantly, wasn't the grain shipped back money? Nearly one million stones of grain, if sold at the price of grain in Yangzhou a few days ago, nearly 20 million yuan can be recovered!

Of course, Su You thought of this, so he also felt that his ridicule was a bit unreasonable, so he had to skip this topic, and continued, "This is also in my expectation, the small country of Baekje, it is the key to bring back the materials they produce, if they are rich and strong, they don't need to borrow our Great Sui soldiers to drive away the invasion of Goryeo."

Lai Yanbei sighed, "Yes, looking at the current living conditions of the Baekje people, our people are extremely proud, and it is worth the trip to this." ”

Su You nodded and asked with a smile, "How many days have you been in Baekje?" I thought you would be there by the time I arrived in Yangzhou. ”

"I only stayed in Baekje for three or four days, and I was worried that you were going back to Yangzhou, so when I returned, I ordered the fleet to enter Qindao Bay, and then Mr. Xu's movement told me about your movements, and we helped him arrest a group of pirates outside Qindao Bay."

"So that's the case, our people don't have much to lose, right?" Su You's hair has turned a lot gray these days because of food, if he hadn't come to Yanbei to talk about the pirates outside Qindao, he wouldn't have remembered this incident.

Although Su You asked if there was any loss, he actually knew in his heart that it was just nonsense, because there were a lot of talents under Yanbei.

Not to mention the four people of Zhang Long, Zhao and Hu Dynasty, in addition to the soldiers borrowed from Zhang Zhenzhou, as well as Zhai Rang Lu Zhongsu, if these people together can't capture those dozens of pirates, Su You will be able to admit that he knows these people.

Sure enough, Lai Yanbei laughed lightly, "If there is the leadership of Senior Lu, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, if there are still losses in dealing with dozens of pirates, I really have no place to put this face." Of course, it's a big victory, you don't know how highly the county magistrate of Jimo County thinks highly of us. ”

Su You was happy to hear what Yanbei said, and he was also happy in his heart, so he asked about the dock again.

Lai Yanbei forgot to care about the dock, so he had to say, "I didn't go to see the dock, I was also thinking about fighting or something, but Uncle Sun and Pisces went to see it, it seems that they only built a keel to complete the first ship, it is estimated that it will be the middle of this month, and if you want to get a fleet, it will take longer."

"I suddenly thought of a joke about a guy who knew it takes five minutes to boil an egg and asked, how long does it take to boil three eggs?" Su You shook his head and immediately laughed.

Lai Yanbei asked seriously, "Five minutes?" What do you mean? ”

Su You had no choice but to admit defeat, the minutes of all evils were useless in ancient times, - it was easy to solve arithmetic problems, but it was difficult to solve problems.

Su You thought for a while and said, "The time to boil one egg is the same as boiling three eggs, that is to say, as long as Senior Lu completes a boat, a fleet will come out!" -- Because they were building more than a dozen ships at the same time. ”

When Lai Yanbei heard this, he suddenly realized, and said, "Slow down, slow down, anyway, Yangzhou is in ruins now, and we won't need those boats for a while." ”

"It's true that all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, but our Seven Seas Trading Company should also raise funds immediately, I promised His Majesty to pay five million business taxes within half a year, and if I don't start, I will be guilty of defrauding the king."

"Didn't we make nearly 20 million yuan by frying grain? In addition to taking half of it out to distribute infrared to those money merchants, you also have nearly 10 million in liquidity, and you can take half of it to your majesty. Lai Yanbei said indifferently, the joke was obviously more serious than serious.

Su You couldn't smile bitterly, so he had to rub her head with his fingers, and the two stopped talking about the general economic trend.

The two looked at each other and finally melted their lovesickness into a kiss
