Chapter 452: Fooled Again
Yang Bo originally sent Tang Yi away with two words of benevolence and no expense, and he didn't know if this kid was really moved by himself, or if he was beating a snake with a stick, he actually made a request, which made the old Yang Bo not up or down, so he was not uncomfortable.
Of course, this old man has been cultivating for so many years, and he will not be easily eaten to death by Tang Yi, he smiled, "Okay, if you have something to say, the old man will do his best." ”
The implication is that if it can't be done, then it's two words.
Tang Yi understood in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be very moved, "Shibo, everything is foreplanned and not planned, with the observation of the little nephew, after the opening of the sea in the southeast, business will become more and more prosperous, and now there are thousands of ships on the sea in the southeast, and I am afraid that in the future, there will be more than tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of big ships, and the number of people engaged in sea trade will be as many as tens of millions. Not to mention anything else, the sea is high and the waves are urgent, the weather is uncertain, the crew and sailors need warm clothes, the cotton textile produced in the southeast is not enough, the gap in the bedding used to make clothes is very large, there are already businessmen in Huguang and Jiangxi and other places to plant cotton, supply the gap in the southeast, but the cotton is afraid of the tide, easy to compact, warm and poor, the weight is also heavy, the most lacking in the southeast is actually fur, especially wool. ”
Listening to Tang Yi's words, Yang Bo was really taken aback, taking one step, being able to see three steps, he was already a master among the masters. How many steps has Tang Yi taken this kid in advance!
From the opening of the sea, to the increase of merchant ships, to the warmth and cold, to the cultivation of cotton, and to the wool...... After thinking about it carefully, don't say it, it really makes sense, the more I think about it, the more I feel that there are endless business opportunities in it, Yang Bo couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Tang Yi has made such a big foundation in a few years, and there is no one to see!
"Yes. You mean to ask the old man to help you make wool? ”
"Sebo Gaojian." Tang Yi smiled shyly.
Yang Bo narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and asked, "How much do you want?" ”
"In the first year, if you don't have a point, two million taels will be done."
"Poof!"
Yang Bo squirted out a sip of tea, and asked in disbelief, "How much?" ”
"Two million taels, if only a little more."
Good boys. Two million taels of silver can buy all the sheep in Shanxi. Yang Bo understood that this kid was forcing himself to smuggle with the Mongols. He can't mean to hurt me, right? Old Yang Bo kept muttering in his heart, he really couldn't understand, what did Tang Yi want so much wool for?
"Well, although the old man doesn't know much, the felt woven from wool is shoddy and heavy, the price is not high, and not many people like it. You're just going to lose money if you get so much, right? As the saying goes, someone does the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money, what kind of calculation do you kid have? ”
Yang Bo's old eyes narrowed, and the accumulated coercion of decades of leading troops down was like a Mount Tai, pressing head-on. Tang Yi was undaunted. Just as a breeze, unhurriedly talk about his business experience.
"Shibo. The felt is strong and wind-resistant, and it can also prevent moisture, not to mention anything else, a big ship with a hundred sailors, a wool mat per person, and thousands of ships want wool? Again. Wool can also be made into quilts, which are lighter and warmer than cotton, and the winter in Jiangnan is cold and damp. Wool quilts are better than cotton. A few days ago, the city imported a large number of Persian carpets, as well as woolen wool from the West, the little nephew has seen it, all made of wool, soft and thick, as a winter clothing is very suitable. With the skilled craftsmen of the southeast, there is no reason why they can't weave better wool. What is lacking is only raw materials, if a large number of sheepskin wool can be imported from the northwest, over time, the profit of wool spinning will definitely be above silk. ”
Tang Yi is not bragging, the silk production process is cumbersome and complicated, and it must be done manually. Only wool and cotton spinning are suitable for large-scale industrialization, which is also the direction of the future.
Yang Bo listened to Tang Yi's introduction silently, calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent, and the monstrous waves were almost engulfing him. No matter how much he tried to control it, his little fingers still trembled with excitement. Tang Yi's words opened a new door for Yang Bo.
To put it mildly, although the Jin merchants were successful, they were faced with a fatal problem, the three major fist products of the Ming Dynasty, tea, silk, and porcelain, were all produced in the south, and the Jin merchants could only engage in trafficking to make profits.
At present, the two pillars of the Jin merchants are smuggling to the Mongolian tribes, and the other is the salt of the two Huai.
There are problems with these two pillars, although the salt profit is abundant, but the population is there, and it has to be dotted up and down, and the cost is amazing, it can be imagined that the salt profit has reached the limit, and it is difficult to increase.
As for smuggling, this thing is illegal after all, and the trade volume is limited, which is why Tang Yi mentioned Kaibian, and Yang Bo was so tempted.
However, if it is really as Tang Yi said, wool spinning business, Jin merchants will hold a piece of raw material production in their hands, if they open the border smoothly and get low-cost wool from the hands of the Mongolians, whether it is transshipment to Jiangnan, or to set up a textile workshop in Shanxi, they can make a lot of money.
The shackles that constrained the development of Jin Shang miraculously disappeared, and at this moment Yang Bocai suddenly realized that Tang Yi's proposal to open the border was not just a fool.
Combined with his economic warfare theory, he may really be able to clean up the Mongols. For example, when the Mongols thought it was profitable to buy wool at a high price, they would abandon the steel knife they had looted and pick up the whip of the shepherd. When all the Mongolian tribes began to raise sheep, the prices were suddenly lowered and the market was closed, and the Mongolian tribes were bound to be in chaos......
Yang Bo suddenly shuddered, he really wanted to split the head of the little guy in front of him to see how much bad water was in it. After being surprised, Yang Bo began to think carefully about Tang Yi's proposal, and I have to say that it is indeed very attractive. The thought of millions of Mongols helping them shepherd sheep and shear sheep makes people's blood boil. The white wool is like a mountain of gold and silver, which makes people salivate.
Yang Bo excitedly wanted to agree immediately, but the old man learned the lesson of the last time, Tang Yi has too many eyes, who knows if he has other plans.
"Okay, sure enough, the old man admires it very much, but in terms of business, let's not mix it up too much, let's let the people below talk about it."
"Okay." Tang Yi agreed, but with a look of embarrassment, Yang Bo was happy and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say." ”
"Yes." Tang Yi was embarrassed and said: "Shibo, in the future, we will definitely have more and more business contacts, the southeast wants to purchase wool, you also want to purchase tea and silk, in order to facilitate contact, the little nephew wants to arrange a few people to follow your old side, what is there to communicate, I don't know what you want to do?" ”
Yang Bo hesitated for a moment, the wool business was not Tang Yi begging him, on the contrary, he still gave Jin Shang a big gift package. The so-called reciprocating peach, Yang Bo can't help but express it. As for Tang Yisai and a few people, it is still for the convenience of communication, and it is nothing. Yang Bo readily agreed.
"Okay, tomorrow the old man will leave for him, you just send people to the boat."
Tang Yi hurriedly nodded in agreement, and turned around to get Yang Bo in the midst of the crowd of farewells, boarded the big ship, left Quanzhou, and got up to return to Beijing to resume his life.
Seven days after the ship came out, Yang Junmin suddenly found his father with a blue face.
The first thing we said when we met was "Dad, we're fooled again!" ”
……
The summer night is stuffy and hot, the frogs are chirping weakly, and the fireflies are dizzy and flying. Tang Yi and Wang Yueying snuggled in the corridor, looking up at the stars in the sky, blinking and blinking.
Wang Yueying smiled stupidly: "Brother, you have a really heavy sweat smell on your body, everyone is made of mud by men, as expected." Unlike us women, fragrant. ”
As he spoke, he sniffed Tang Yi's neck, turned his head, and his face was full of disgust.
Tang Yi smiled: "Yueying, have you ever seen bacon in the kitchen?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, you see, bacon can be left for a few months, and when you eat it, it has a strong smoky taste. What about you women, that's it, since you were a teenager, you have been smeared with rouge gouache every day, drowned for a few years, and after more than ten years, you have been drowning, can it not be fragrant? Of course, everything is too much, when the bacon is bad, the woman has been drowned for decades and has become a yellow-faced woman, and it is inevitable that it will spoil and spoil the taste......"
Wang Yueying listened carefully at first, but gradually Tang Yi became more and more unspeakable, so angry that her little face turned red.
"You're bacon, you're a piece of drowning bacon!"
Xiao Nizi stretched out her hand and pinched Tang Yi's soft underbelly, Tang Yi hurriedly jumped up, the two of them ran and laughed in the corridor, not long after, Wang Yueying's body was also soaked with sweat, and the two of them snuggled together again, this time they couldn't tell who smelled and who smelled.
Wang Yueying leaned on Tang Yi's chest, gasped and said, "Brother, I think you are too much, you shouldn't give Sister Meijun to Yang Bo." ”
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Hasn't she been saving his father, what can I do!" ”
"Can Yang Bo save Uncle Shen?" Wang Yueying asked in surprise.
"Even if you can't save it, you can keep Shen Lian's peace." Tang Yi said: "The Jin Party has a huge power in the nine sides, no one can match, Shen Lian is said to be on the Datong side, scolding Yan Song's father and son every day, and scolding Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, I have the heart to save people, but the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, why don't you let Yang Bo come out?" ”
"Will he come out?" Wang Yueying wondered.
"Of course!" Tang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't I draw a big cake for him?" With millions of taels of wool business every year, how many sheep can there be in Shanxi? It must be smuggled from the grassland, Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, is a member of the Yan Party, is Yang Bo willing to share the profits of the Yan Party? In order to dominate the wool business, Yang Bo will definitely fight his life to kill Yang Shun, and Shen Lian is the breakthrough to win Yang Shun, I sent Miss Shen to Yang Bo, everything is ready, Yang Bo will make a move if he doesn't make a move. ”
As soon as Yang Bo made a move, he was pushed to the front line of the battle with the Yan Party, thinking of being one of the three heroes in the world, he actually let himself put one, not to mention how comfortable Tang Yi was. You Yang Bo dare to calculate the master, and the master will let you taste my power!
"Brother, I'm still worried about Sister Meijun, can she stand the suffering in the north?" Wang Yueying said worriedly. Tang Yi stretched out his hand, hugged her in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Silly girl, always think about others, we are about to get married, what are you doing with a light bulb?" ”
"Marriage!" Suddenly, Wang Yueying's neck turned red. (To be continued.) )
