In a tavern, Liu Sheng and the three of them were eating, looking at the people coming and going in front of them, Jia Fu couldn't help but sigh: "This pier is really magnificent, do you say that in the vast sea, there are really endless treasures?"

"Mr. said yes, then it will not be wrong." Qingyuan thought that just now, they heard the sailors' discussions, and couldn't help but agree.

When Jia Fu heard Qingyuan say this, he was a little unhappy: "You really listen to those sailors' nonsense?" How easy it is to have a vast sea".

"One ship after another, one after another, I don't know what will happen." Qingyuan thought of the ships he saw at the dock, but he was afraid that this group of sailors would go ashore. It won't be long before Quanzhou Mansion will be a sensation. When the time comes, thousands of sails will enter the sea together. I don't know how many will be buried in this boundless sea.

Liu Sheng nodded, looked at Qingyuan and suddenly asked about something else: "Qingyuan is now in Quanzhou, and the monthly expenses of Shantang are how much is in total."

"Listening to Mr. 's words, we came to Jiangnan and built good halls everywhere. Now there are more than 100 charity halls, and the total cost of a month is about 3,000 gold. And over time, I'm afraid there will be more." Qingyuan heard Liu Sheng's inquiry, and after thinking for a while, he said this.

Liu Sheng turned to Jia Fu, Jia Fu understood, although he didn't know what he wanted more, he still said everything in 1510: "Now the newspapers and pedestrian streets in Jiangnan have spread all over the prosperous places. The overall income is about 20,000 gold surplus in one month. However, as the church expands again, the surplus will become smaller and smaller, and it may end up losing money."

"Shantang grass creation, the cost is naturally not very large. However, as we improve in the future, there may be a shortage of funds." Qingyuan has been running the good hall in Jiangnan, so he is naturally clear about the expenses in this regard.

When Liu Sheng heard the words of the two, he fell into deep thought: "Ah Fu, all the materials obtained in the northwest at the beginning were converted into money, how much."

"Weapons and armor have all been sold to Liao, and now they are still IOUs. As for the substance, a small part was shipped to Jiangnan, and a large part to Hebei. There are also those gold and silver fine, which we use to open a good church, set up a pedestrian street, and a newspaper office, otherwise why would there be an income of 20,000 gold in a month in the south of the Yangtze River." Jia Fu spread his hands and said that he had no money. These in the Northwest Battlefield, the money obtained. Come faster, use one faster.

When Liu Sheng heard that there was no money, he frowned slightly, as if he thought of something: "The income of Chang'an and Luoyang, as well as the Chamber of Commerce, what is the situation now?"

"The money earned in Chang'an and Luoyang in a year. A small part of it was taken out as the principal of Qingyuan's southward journey. A large part of the formation of chambers of commerce. Nowadays, cross-border trade is very profitable. All the surpluses I have on hand add up to about 200,000 gold." Jia Fu was proud when he talked about 200,000 gold, and when he looked at his annual income, it was more than 1 million gold. Rich rivals countries, but that's it.

Qingyuan gasped when he heard the 200,000 gold, and looked at Jia Fu incredulously: "It is completely impossible to earn 200,000 gold a year with only the pedestrian street and the newspaper office. Is your chamber of commerce really so profitable?"

"Of course, the capital of the Great Zhou is in Luoyang. The world's businessmen are very rich, and they are all in Luoyang. I, Jia Fu, in accordance with Brother Sheng'er's words, called on the merchants of the whole city, how can the Chamber of Commerce formed be small. To put it mildly, the world's businessmen. All respect my Sparrow Chamber of Commerce. At a critical juncture, the power of the Chamber of Commerce, I can move in a word." Jia Fu talked about the Chamber of Commerce, thinking of the financial resources inside, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. If you only talk about financial resources, even the household department can't compare to the Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, which brings together seventy percent of the world's businessmen.

Qingyuan sighed after listening to it, and it seemed that his previous worries were completely unnecessary: "It is worthy of being a gentleman, and his action is extraordinary." In addition, ah blessed you have a good way of doing business. It seems that in the future, we will have no worries."

"If it weren't for that, how could we afford it, Shantang, a bottomless gold-swallowing beast." Jia Fu laughed, talking about it, this is his most proud work.

Liu Sheng heard the conversation between the two, but his heart was full of sorrow: "Ah Fu, don't be happy, it's too early." Now the good hall has just begun. The land south of the Yangtze River is already rich. Although there was a flood the year before last, after all, the foundation is thick, and you can still have a surplus. But if it were to be replaced with the rest of the place, I am afraid it would not be enough."

"Now that Hebei is affected by the disaster, the monks of Fojue Temple are all expenses for disaster relief in the south. Fortunately, there was the material support that the Northwest obtained. Otherwise, I would not have had so much gold and silver in my hands." When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's words, he thought about it in his heart for a while, and nodded sincerely. Just in Hebei, the expenditure is huge. If you spread the good halls all over the country, I'm afraid it's still a little insufficient.

Qingyuan was also embarrassed for a while, and looked at the two of them: "If the opening of the good hall is in a rich place, I am afraid it does not match the original intention."

"That was the birth of nature, Zendo. It is to bring a trace of warmth to the miserable place of the world. Just a little money, in another way to think of something else". Liu Sheng heard Qingyuan's inquiry and said these words without thinking. The appointment with Kexin at the beginning is now vivid, how dare you forget.

Jia Fu's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head again: "Now I want to open up a transnational route, but I'm afraid it won't bring so much profit." After all, not all countries have the strength of Liao. Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, and Jiaozhi are only afraid that they will not be profitable."

"It's not that it's unprofitable, it's that it's not easy to open up trade routes. In fact, you should set your eyes on the vast sea." Liu Sheng looked at the crowd outside the restaurant and thought thoughtfully.

Qingyuan obviously thought of what those sailors said: "What Mr. means, but go to sea and go to that country to do business."

"In the vast sea, is there only one Wa country? If I can assemble a large fleet, what kind of scene will arise above the sea." Liu Sheng looked at Qingyuan and Jia Fu, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, fantasizing about this picture in his mind, and unconsciously revealing a fascinated image. can think about it, like a basin of cold water, and instantly wake up: "The sea is vast, although the compass can discern the direction." But we don't have charts, so how can we sail far. And the pirates along the way are not vegetarians."

"If I can enter the palace, persuade Your Majesty and Uncle Xu. Let you use a certain amount of gold and silver to hire an elite. At the same time, I will give you a chart, and you will be willing to let the Chamber of Commerce try it." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu and thought of that scene, it should be very wonderful.

Qing Yuan saw that Jia Fu was deep in thought, looked at Liu Sheng and asked: "Hiring an elite escort from the imperial court can indeed play a role in promoting the prestige of the country. Mr. came forward, I think the imperial court, there should be no reason to refuse. Just nautical charts? ……“。

"I have a chart from Quanzhou Mansion to the south. There are many countries along the way, and there are things that I lack in the Great Zhou. A trip back and forth, I am afraid that the profit will be extremely rich. If only the fleet could open up shipping lanes and rid the pirates. The imperial court set up a yamen to manage this water trade route. At that time, the caravans came and went, but I was afraid that it would be more prosperous. When the time comes, with the merits of your Chamber of Commerce, I will suggest that the imperial court allow you to take a certain amount of taxes from it every year as a reward. Wouldn't it be a double win to motivate the people and open up waterways in this way." Liu Sheng told the thoughts in his heart one by one, so that the imperial court could sit back and enjoy the results without much effort. At the same time, the people can also reap its benefits. When the time comes, there will be a sea and a steady stream of resources. Transported back to Da Zhou through the fleet, why worry about the suffering of poverty in the world.

After listening to this, Jia Fu nodded again and again, and with Liu Sheng's current influence, it is indeed not difficult to persuade the DPRK: "I am willing to give it a try, but now, the wine and food are down, should we go back to Shantang."

"It's good ......". The two nodded, and after settling the bill, they strode out of the restaurant. At this time, when talking about this matter, I had no intention of shopping, so I simply went back, so I might as well start early. (To be continued.) )
