It's still the third of the lanterns. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sea ship of Tongxiang is back.

"Boss Wang said, this sale, I will add one percent to your Tongxiang!"

Looking at Li Weiguo's arrogant appearance, Chen Da Prawn really can't wait to eat this kickback!

However, Boss Wang's Chrysostom opened, and he didn't dare to disobey, no, the first sentence, Chen Da Prawn said so.

"Boss Wang is kind to business, please thank Boss Wang on my behalf."

Li Weiguo still said with a salute.

"I'll tell Boss Wang." Chen Da Prawn didn't seem to like to deal with the little imperial history in front of him, so he said, "Count." ”

The big ship opened the warehouse, and the Tongxiang soldiers and horses moved the big boxes in the cabin one by one.

Open it and take a look, isn't it, aren't all white flowers silver?

It's really a pirate, the silver ingots in these big boxes, there are ingots from all over the court, and some broken silver, some are still Japanese silver blocks, and the last few big boxes are a little weird to listen to the movement inside, open it and see, it's a few silver winter melons!

In order to preserve the silver and not easy to lose, some of the wealthy merchants in ancient China cast the broken silver into silver winter melon, which is big and shaped like a winter melon, which is the name.

"Oh my god!"

Jiang Jiang is going crazy now, he can't calm down for a long time with his mouth open, so much silver came to the private market this time?

There were boxes of silver in front of them, and the two sergeants had a hard time carrying them!

The silver in it can brighten the eyes of a blind dog! Oh my God, how easy is the money in the private market? I knew that when I was seconded to Haiyan to suppress the private market, I would have done more of that kind of business, isn't this much faster than stealing military salaries?

The king's main book is the county's main book, and the money in charge is the money, which can be said to be countless silver flowing a day, but now he is also frightened by the huge profits of this private market! Daming actually has such a lucrative livelihood?

"Boss Wang said, if Master Li thinks it's cost-effective, he can find me to do this job in the future!"

Chen prawn said.

"That's nature." As soon as Li Weiguo clapped his hands, Chen Da Prawn's family was sent up.

Along the way, they were treated quite favorably, and Chen Da Prawn was not stupid, but just glanced at Li Weiguo hatefully.

……

In addition to the silver, there were several ships of sulfur on board.

Japan is a country with relatively scarce resources as a whole, but sulfur is still quite prolific, and China has imported sulfur from Japan countless times in history.

Wang Zhi helped with the procurement, and naturally he had to take some kickbacks from it, but this was common sense, and Li Weiguo didn't say anything.

"My lord, the quality is good!"

Someone who knows how to come and inspect it, and after a careful inspection, this is said.

Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction, today's transaction seems to be quite smooth.

……

The silver and sulfur brought down from the ship were loaded into the carriage, and the Tongxiang soldiers and horses slowly headed west and returned home.

Silver is for military expenses, and sulfur is a necessity for the army in this era, and it should not be neglected.

The carriage walked slowly, and after walking for half the night, a group of people returned to Tongxiang.

"Master Li, after removing the villagers' material money, we actually earned more than 20,000 taels of silver this time!"

The king bookkeeper pulled the abacus for a long time, and said happily to Li Weiguo.

has taken over a lifetime of soldiers, horses, money and food, and now this king knows what a silver mountain is! Isn't all that work in the past now all petty fights?

It's only been half a month's work, and I got 20,000 taels of silver! If it goes on like this, isn't the treasury of Tongxiang County more rich than the emperor's inner treasury?

"Hmm!" Li Weiguo just nodded lightly and did not show too much surprise.

In later generations, Zheng Zhilong got 10 million taels of silver a year for trading, and now where is this?

If the money is short, how can I use my ideas to train the new army?

"Lord Wang, take some money, and go and buy some flint, ropes, fine iron, and tung oil."

When the silver is earned, it will be spent, and Li Weiguo does not plan to sleep with these things outside his body, so he immediately ordered.

"Master Li, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Jiang was always a little surprised.

In his thinking, now that Tongxiang has got so much silver, it is natural for you and me to divide it, and then find a few Shangguan to divide it to ensure that the official fortune will be prosperous in the future.

And wait, aren't all these things for the soldiers?

The more Jiang Jiang thought about it, the more surprised he became: "Lord Li, is it possible that you are going to form a private army?" ”

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang concentrated power and profit, and ordered the Quartet.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty in this era did not dare to have a local arm, unless the head was so confused that it wanted to resist Zhu Yuanzhang with arms!

However, with the development of the times, it has been different, and the current imperial court is weak, and the Qi family army has not come into being?

Li Weiguo just smiled and didn't say no.

Hu Zongxian's side naturally wants to take care of it, and now it is imminent for Tongxiang to form soldiers and horses!

Although the Qi family army is brave and invincible, it is still a little exhausting for these people to defend this vast seashore and the huge Zhejiang! This is what Li Weiguo has been thinking about in his heart, which is this.

"Tongxiang City, you must have your own soldiers!"

Li Weiguo just said casually, and then ordered without question: "The purchased goods must be of high quality, and they cannot be shoddy. ”

Several people present knew Li Weiguo's methods, and they couldn't help but nod, naturally no one dared to disobey Li Weiguo.

"Also, invite more blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen to come over, and our craftsman workshop will also be expanded."

"Buy more charcoal and charcoal and come back, and hand it over to Lao Zhangtou and them."

Lao Zhangtou is the one Li Weiguo invited to help build the musket a few days ago.

"Besides, buy more wood and come back, ready to build a ...... for sea ships in the future."

"Also, buy more food and come back, at least enough for the soldiers and horses of Tongxiang in March and April!"

……

Li Weiguo said wherever he wanted, and the king's book made a record, and the more he remembered, the more shocking he felt.

Okay, you Li Weiguo, you're going to have a big game!

"Moreover, a procurement point is set up in Tongxiang City to collect goods from all over the world and take them out!"

The meaning is obvious, at the moment, this private market is not a hammer deal, but a few more runs!

If there is really no trade support, where will Tongxiang have a steady stream of money?

……

Li Weiguo's order came down, but he was busy turning over the people of Tongxiang.

It's really busy.

Today's Tongxiang people are like ants who are busy moving, and there is no time to stop.

These things need people to carry them, and those men who are idle at home now have outside water to earn; The purchase of silk and porcelain requires people to weave, so the women in Tongxiang City now have a job to do; The official family needs a lot of things, and naturally needs a lot of business, and many businessmen are now active, hiring horse gangs and starting to trade horses......

Almost on the same day that Li Weiguo gave the order, the entire Tongxiang City was busy.

Li Weiguo is very busy now, and everyone who comes to see him can kick through the threshold, most of them are businessmen, asking the government to use themselves to do this business, and now Tongxiang County has become a cornucopia, no wonder these businessmen are beginning to move.

Originally, Zhejiang people were good at doing business at this time, but now they are all full of business opportunities, where can these people hold it?

Since ancient times, China has practiced a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and basically China is a self-sufficient small-scale peasant society at this time, and its natural economic development has reached its peak, but in fact, the potential of the society is far from being tapped!

This feeling is like a giant living in misery, and one day, he will roar out, sonic boom inside and outside!

gives Li Weiguo the feeling that the current Daming is such a giant, almost every cell in his body is a little depressed by this boring life, and the muscles of the whole body are tense, just waiting for a certain kick to explode!

Li Weiguo is now going to be the character who came to the door.

Sulfur was purchased as a lumpy solid, but to make gunpowder, it had to be finely ground, so many workers in the craftsman's workshop were now busy grinding sulfur.

Huge mills were mounted on shelves, pulled by men or oxen and constantly turned, stones were ground into stones, and sulfur was placed in the middle, so that the lumps of sulfur could be ground into powder for military use.

In addition to doing these tasks, now Li Weiguo has also organized a team of nitrate collectors in Tongxiang, the head of which is an old farmer who has been cultivating the land for most of his life, and Li Weiguo has arranged a title for him - Nitrate collector.

The merchants' caravan has now traveled far away to buy saltpeter, and now Li Weiguo is out of stock, so he has called the most primitive method of collecting saltpeter - collecting nitrate.

In fact, during the Industrial Revolution, the British army used this method to collect nitrate.

In the process of long-term fermentation of manure, or the wall skin under long-term sun and rain, some white powder will be produced, and the main component of these powders is potassium nitrate.

This thing is an essential ingredient used to make black powder, and now Li Weiguo wants to develop firearms in Tongxiang, naturally these things are indispensable, and the saltpeter purchased alone is not enough! To this end, Li Weiguo set up a special collection team.

Some honest peasants selected by the nitrate collection team, they have the right to enter and leave any house, any field, manure tank and other places in Tongxiang, anyway, as long as there is nitrate, they are everywhere!

The armaments of the Ming Dynasty are currently lax, and the Japanese have been scourging for decades, but Li Weiguo almost had to start from scratch in these combat preparations, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.

Don't think that fighting a war is an extremely simple thing, there are many things you need to do in order to win a war.

"My lord, there's news from Lao Zhangtou'er, the musket has been made!"

Just when Li Weiguo was busy, someone came from the craftsman's workshop, arched his hand, and said respectfully. (To be continued.) )
