Chapter 334: Another Way
"I've been friends for a long time, so there's no need to be polite, sit down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Wang Zhi's place is simply a palace, magnificent.
After Wang directly led Li Weiguo to the living room, he greeted him with a smile.
But it's because of the war, Wang Zhi's accent was a little low at this time.
The sailor he was proud of was ravaged like this by a three-masted ship of Li Weiguo, and it is estimated that no one will be in a good mood.
You must know that Wang Zhi and these people rely on the sea for food.
The warship is their life!
"I have many contacts with the old shipowner, and I am also an acquaintance." Li Weiguo smiled and was generous.
Hu Zongxian had already sent a letter saying that he would send this Li Weiguo over, and also sent a portrait of this person.
This saved Wang Zhi the time to find out the details of Li Weiguo.
"Haha......" Wang Zhi stroked his beard and smiled, and the atmosphere slowly began to heat up.
"I don't know if Governor Hu sent you here this time, but what's the matter?"
"I'm ashamed to say that." Li Weiguo laughed miserably: "Originally, Governor Hu prepared a generous gift, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, he encountered a storm at sea, and in desperation, all those gifts were lost in the sea, and only a pair of jade ruyi were still on him." ā
Li Weiguo said that he would give a gift, and his subordinates would offer it.
Wang Zhi shone into the sun, crystal clear, it was a good jade.
"Governor Hu is polite, polite."
It seems that he is still very satisfied with this only remaining gift, Wang Zhi smiled.
"But ......"
Wang Zhi suddenly changed his words.
Wang Zhi is naturally not short of money: "Governor Hu didn't say anything else?" ā
Wang Zhi pointed out that it is naturally a mutual trade.
Unlike Xu Hai, Xu Hai is an out-and-out pirate.
However, in addition to being a pirate, Wang Zhi is also a businessman.
What he wanted more was the trade policy of the imperial court.
For more than a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has pursued a policy of banning the sea, which has annoyed Wang Zhi's business.
As long as the market of Wang Zhi is still in the Wa Kingdom.
Today's Wa Kingdom is in the Warring States Period, with frequent wars and chaos, and all kinds of materials are in short supply.
The slightest inconspicuous little thing in the Ming Dynasty is also a rare treasure in today's Wa Kingdom.
If this stall Daming can open the sea ban, then Wang Zhi, who almost monopolizes the trade of the Japanese state, will be able to make a lot of money!
At the beginning, Wang Zhi's business was in Southeast Asia, but after all, there were few people here, but the Japanese country was different, although the Japanese country was small, it was better than the large number of people.
Besides, at this time, the Japanese country is in war, and all kinds of things are quite scarce, who can monopolize this market at this time, and it is a matter of great merit!
Some time ago, Wang Zhitong was mainly engaged in the arms business.
It was through this that the arquebus was introduced to Japan.
Of course, the arquebus was not made by Wang Zhi himself, but was exchanged from Portugal, and naturally it was made of Chinese porcelain and silk.
Chinese things are popular outside of China, especially in the eyes of the Portuguese.
Hongmaozi sold the weapons in their hands cheaply in exchange for Chinese silk, and Wang Zhi sold these arquebuses to the Japanese at a high price, making a lot of money.
But Wang Zhi's ambition is even greater.
He wanted to completely monopolize the market of the Japanese state.
He needed more Ming silk and porcelain.
He needs a bigger Daming market.
And this market is not a private market that can satisfy him.
Therefore, he urgently needed the trade policy of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as the sea ban can be opened, then the large amount of silver in Wang Zhi's hand can be exchanged for countless Ming materials, and then it can be turned into more silver, which is simply a mountain of silver like gold and silver!
"Governor Hu asked me to come this time precisely for this purpose."
Li Weiguo said with a smile.
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Wang Zhi pretended to be confused.
"Naturally, it's a matter of trade." Li Weiguo said solemnly.
Wang Zhi's eyes lit up: "What did Master Hu say?" ā
"It's hard." Li Weiguo said truthfully.
Wang Zhifang's eyes suddenly dimmed a little.
Yes, the sea ban is the rule of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, how can it be said that it will change?
"But in my opinion, it's not impossible." Li Weiguo said with a smile.
Wang Zhi rubbed his hands: "How did Governor Hu explain this matter?" ā
Hu Zongxian was the governor of Zhejiang Province in charge of the six provinces south of the Yangtze River.
The subordinates all call this man a master! It can be seen that its power can be seen.
Wang Zhi can't count on others now, what he expects is that this Hu Zongxian can be in the middle and let this Ming open the sea ban.
Wang Zhicai is powerful, and he is not even worried that Da Ming will destroy him.
First, Daming doesn't have this strength at present, and second, Daming doesn't dare!
Now only he can entrap many Japanese robbers, and if he dies, the Japanese under his command will rebel!
At that time, the Ming Dynasty will be greeted by endless Japanese robbers, like locusts!
So he concluded that Da Ming would not and did not dare to move himself rashly.
Perhaps it was out of such self-confidence that he dared to ask the imperial court for a trade policy.
Li Weiguo looked at him left and right.
Hu Zongxian was thinking about how to subdue Wang Zhi all day long.
Perhaps he still had illusions, after all, this was the task given to him by the imperial court.
But Li Weiguo is not.
Li Weiguo is looking forward to, like Wang Zhi, also hoping that the imperial court will open the sea ban.
This is also the reason why Li Weiguo happily came to see this Wang Zhi.
"Does the old shipowner know which emperor is reigning in the current Ming Dynasty?"
Li Weiguo Road.
The cold Li Weiguo asked such a question, which made Wang Zhi a little second monk: "Naturally, I know that it is Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi." ā
"What does the Holy Lord like, does the old shipowner know?"
"Alchemy, who doesn't know?" Wang Zhi was a little funny.
Wang Zhi is a person from the Ming Dynasty, and he has been dealing with the imperial court all year round, so he naturally knows this.
"That year, I killed Chen Sipan and eliminated a big disaster for the imperial court, did Jiajing Lao'er mention a reward for me?" Wang Zhi said with a smile.
Li Weiguo automatically filtered this statement: "The matter of opening the sea ban, now we may be able to start from this matter." ā
Wang Zhi felt a little funny.
What does the alchemy of the human emperor have to do with the opening of the sea ban?
"Does the old shipowner know why Governor Hu has delayed giving you a specific schedule for opening the sea ban?" Li Weiguo asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, maybe he doesn't even know about it." Wang Zhi was a little depressed.
After all, this is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be changed at every turn.
"It's not that Governor Hu doesn't know, but this thing is impossible!" Li Weiguo said with a smile: "It is absolutely impossible for the group of old people in the court to agree to open the sea ban!" ā
Li Weiguo said very seriously, but Wang Zhi was angry because of this: "What are you Governor Hu sending you to do?" ā
Could it be that Hu Zongxian sent you here just to tell me that it is not okay?
Is this going to break or not? Hmph, I see that you Hu Zongxian still don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!
I can turn your big tomorrow upside down!
"The eldest husband does things informally, although it is not good to expect the group of old people above the court to be endless, but this does not mean that there is no other way."
Li Weiguo said with a smile.
"Something else?" Wang Zhi pondered for a while, after all, he was a smart person: "You mean, you mean to start with the matter of Jiajing alchemy?" ā
Li Weiguo naturally wouldn't talk about Jiajing alchemy for no reason, since this is the case, then this person is going to make a fuss about this matter? (To be continued.) )
