Chapter 251: The Road to Riches
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit!
Qingfeng Jun has the number of ships in the sea, Shen Wansan knows it well, Shen Wansan is tired of making huge profits from overseas trade, and he will definitely not let Hao Ren get a piece of the pie like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since Hao Ren received Shen Wansan, although he has talked a lot, Hao Ren understands the overseas situation, and if Shen Wansan has a belly, he hasn't had time to say it!
People are old ghosts, trees are old spirits! Shen Wansan can accumulate huge wealth, but he is the dragon and phoenix among people, it is definitely not that simple!
Although the Qingfeng army has 20 large sea ships, however, the farthest distance of the Qingfeng army is to Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it has never sailed into the sea, and the storms and navigation routes in the sea are very different from the inland rivers.
"In the old gentleman's opinion, what kind of ship should I send, and it is appropriate to go to sea with the old gentleman?" Hao Ren didn't understand Shen Wansan's intentions, but he showed full trust and asked tentatively.
"Of course, it's a big ship with artillery! The generalissimo can not only familiarize himself with the situation overseas, but also send people to find the whereabouts of corn and potatoes! Shen Wansan said.
If I go to sea to do trade, I don't go to sea to fight, so why should I bring artillery? Do you want to be your bodyguard? Hao Rencai didn't want to make wedding dresses for others.
"My navy has no experience in going to sea yet, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run!" Hao Ren expected that Shen Wansan must have other plans to lead his naval army to the sea, and he politely rejected Shen Wansan's request.
Most of Shen Wansan's land and household press are in the mainland, and he may not dare to fight the idea of the Qingfeng army's navy, and the biggest possibility is to let Hao Ren's navy act as his guard, it is very likely that this Shen Wansan has met powerful pirates overseas.
Thinking about the sea, the islands, Shen Wansan's huge cargo ships, all of them are full of wealth, and the pirates are specifically targeting him to plunder, it is very likely.
"The old gentleman said about the purchase of copper mirrors, I can promise you, as long as you ensure that the copper mirrors are exported overseas, will not affect my domestic market, this specific quantity, price, delivery time, and my marshal Shi can talk about it, these things are he is managing, many things, I don't know very well, if the old gentleman negotiates with him, encounters other problems, you can directly find me to coordinate and solve!" Hao Ren said.
"Then it was natural! Please rest assured, the generalissimo, I will sell the bronze mirror overseas, so as not to disturb the generalissimo's domestic market! Shen Wansan said firmly: "However, Shen still has one more thing to ask for the generalissimo!" ”
"The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, just say it if you have something!" Hao Ren said kindly.
"I want to buy some artillery from the general workshop of the Qingfeng Army...... I know that this is a military weapon, and the generalissimo only sells it to his allies, and does not sell it, but Shen's fleet is too large, and there are often pirates who have the idea of fighting Shen's fleet, if the Shen family's fleet can install the Qingfeng army cannon, the Shen family's fleet will definitely be unimpeded! ”
Hao Renxin said: "What am I talking about? Sure enough, I want to use my water army as your personal guard, and I even have a cow to blow when I go out! ”
"Old gentleman, as you said, this is a military supply, and you can't buy it indiscriminately, but the Qingfeng army still produces high-grade sea salt, I don't know if the old gentleman is interested?" Hao Ren changed the topic and deliberately did not say anything about selling guns.
"The high-grade sea salt of the Qingfeng army will definitely be profitable in the market, but recently, in addition to a pirate surnamed Chen in the Three Buddhas, he is now the king of the Three Buddhas, specializing in plundering passing ships, and the Shen family's fleet is also threatened by it, I am afraid that the Shen family's trade will not last long! Lao Sheng and the generalissimo frankly said, that is, I sell cannons, just to protect my fleet from the threat of pirates, and ask the generalissimo to go to sea, but also to fight this three Buddhas, Shen has a secret from the generalissimo, and please forgive the generalissimo! ”
Hao Ren specially pinched the artillery that Shen Wansan was most interested in and avoided talking about it, which really made Shen Wansan anxious, he knew that it would not work to play tricks with Hao Ren, so he simply explained everything and won Hao Ren's mercy.
"The old gentleman shouldn't hide anything from Ben Shuai!" Hao Ren said generously: "The Shen family is a person under the rule of the Qingfeng Army, how can this commander see that the people under his rule are being plundered overseas?" The cannon can sell you some armed fleets, and I will let my navy Hu Boyan command four sea ships to escort the fleet under my rule! ”
Shen Wansan didn't expect Hao Ren to be so generous, his huge fleet, with his own private armament, was just in urgent need of artillery, and now Hao Ren was willing to send ships to help, and the fleet was foolproof!
"The generalissimo is really generous, Shen is grateful, Shen Jiapo has some savings, the generalissimo has any needs, just let the Jiangnan General System Liao Yongan say to Shen, Shen will definitely help!" Shen Wansan said frankly.
Hao Ren knows that Southeast Asia has always been the main rice producing area, but the quality is relatively poor, Qingfeng Army is a cooperative relationship with the Shen family, when the fleet goes to sea, it brings the in-demand products to the mainland, and when it comes back, it is only allowed to pull rice, and it can only be sold to Qingfeng Army, and Qingfeng Army buys all of them at the price of rice in the market.
In this way, the cooperation between Hao Ren and the Shen family can be regarded as opening up the overseas market for their products, and also opening up a new channel for the food supply of the Qingfeng army.
This is a win-win situation, the Shen family has been guaranteed safety, and has also been able to transport grain back to market, and Hao Ren has obtained huge profits, a fleet of grain, can not match the price of Hao Ren's factory a shipload of salt, Hao Ren basically has no cost, and he will make a steady profit.
"Old gentleman, I'm going to build a few dual-use roads, I don't know if the old gentleman is interested?" Hao Ren asked.
"Repairing bridges and roads, the merit is immeasurable, the Shen family subsidizes the generalissimo to repair the road, and is willing to bear all the costs of repairing the road!" Shen Wansan saw that Hao Ren was happy, and he also agreed very readily.
For the wealth of the Shen family, how much money can it cost to build roads? However, Shen Wansan didn't know that Hao Ren was repairing the Banyou Road!
"Haha!" Hao Ren smiled heartily, exactly: I was worried that there was no glue, and a sticky bean bag fell from the sky, "The old gentleman Hugh wants to boast about Haikou, this road is ruthless in burning money!" ”
When Shen Wansan learned that Hao Ren was going to pave the road with asphalt and gravel, his face was indeed green!
"But the old gentleman's courage is commendable, this handsome man named the road, pay tribute to the old gentleman, and also set up a monument to the old gentleman, so that the old gentleman's reputation will last forever!" Hao Ren first put on a high hat for Shen Wansan, and then asked Liu Bowen behind him: "Join the army, you look at this road, what is the name?" ”
Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and whispered slowly: "This road is funded by the old gentleman, and the generalissimo wants to pay tribute to the old gentleman with the name of the road, in my opinion, the old gentleman's name is 'rich', and it is a tribute to him. ”
"Good!" Hao Ren clapped his hands and cheered: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the asphalt road built by the Qingfeng army is called 'Get Rich Road'!" ”
