Chapter 228 Thirteen Shocking

After listening to Yinzhen's words, Yinzhen was pondering the quality of the 'Four Hengs' business model, and Yinxiang was shocked in his heart, the 'Four Hengs' are the overlords of the Qing Dynasty's silver number and ticket number, although Zheng Shichang is nominally taking care of it, but who doesn't know that the main owner behind the 'Four Hengs' is the old fourteenth?

From this, Yinxiang thought of the ocean-going trade fleet, which is a more huge maritime trade overlord than the 'Four Heng', and now it is foreseeable that it will monopolize the export of raw silk and cotton cloth at home, and at home, it will monopolize the ocean-going trade of the West and the Americas, and also want to seize the share of Oriental and South Sea trade, which is definitely a behemoth.

Now in charge of the ocean-going trade fleet is Zhang Yuanlong - the father of Zhang Mengjiao, the old fourteenth concubine, and more importantly, without the backing of the ocean-going fleet, the ocean-going trade fleet is a castle in the air, although the old fourteen does not occupy a share, but it is still a well-deserved behind-the-scenes master.

Now, Yinzhen said that there will be more similar overlords born in his hands, what kind of situation will it be? That means that the most profitable industries in the Qing Dynasty will be in the hands of the old fourteen, thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, no wonder Fahai will support the old fourteen so firmly, thinking about it, he has already seen the layout of the old fourteen.

No wonder the old 14th is not in a hurry to expand the strength of the 14th Party at all, no wonder the old 14th is confident that he will be crowned prince in three or five years, and now the ocean-going trade fleet has not yet been officially put into operation, and in another three or five years, once the ocean-going trade fleet begins to trade abroad, all the ministers related to maritime trade in the DPRK and China will have to stand on the side of the old 14 at that time, whether they want to or not. How many of these ministers dare to go against the interests of the family?

Three, five, three, five years later, who can still compete with the old fourteen? At that time, I am afraid that Huang Ama will also be subject to him, thinking of this, Yinxiang suddenly felt cold behind him, the old fourteen is also too ruthless, only three years, three years alone, silent development to this point.

Poor eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and starling brother, they fought hard to defeat the prince and the second brother, but they all made wedding dresses for the old fourteenth, and now they are fighting on the third of an acre of land in the capital without knowing whether they are alive or dead.

Do you want to secretly inform the fourth brother and let him give up? This thought flashed, Yinxiang quickly gave up, the fourth brother has worked hard for so many years, let him give up, it is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, once asked, don't say, can't live with the fourth brother, said, can't live with the old fourteen.

What's more, the old fourteen is not only able to make money, but also very poisonous vision, once the abnormality is detected, it is inevitable to suspect himself, when the time comes, not only can not save the fourth brother, but also put himself in, and now, can only follow the old fourteen with all his heart, in the future, he will have the opportunity to intercede for the fourth brother, fortunately, the old fourteen is broad-minded, not a mean person, not to listen to what he says, but from the means and ways he controls.

In all fairness, the old fourteenth is much stronger than the fourth brother, at least the life of the brothers is much better, with the fourth brother's mean and suspicious temperament and ruthless methods, if he is on the throne, the brothers who participated in the struggle for the crown are afraid that they will not have a good life, even if he is thirteen, I am afraid that it will not be much better.

How did Yinzhen know that it was just such a casual few words, Yinxiang turned so many thoughts, and seeing that Yinxiang and Yinzhen were both a little distracted, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What is there to ponder?" It's still early. ”

Before Yinxiang could speak, Bao Fuquan reported outside: "Master, the banquet has been prepared." ”

Yinxiang's heart was relieved, he got up and patted Yinyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will think about it slowly, let's go, and we will have a big meal today." ”

In the South China Sea, there are often strong typhoons in summer, so most of the merchant ships in the South China Sea choose in winter, and most of the maritime trade merchant ships begin to set sail at the beginning of the first month, and the entire South China Sea has also begun to enter the peak season of maritime trade.

Outside Manila Bay, a maritime trade fleet of more than 60 brigs is slowly sailing into Manila Bay, all of which are wearing triangular yellow dragon flags, and in the middle of the fleet is a treasure ship of 2,000 materials.

Since last year, whether it is pirates, merchants, or the major prosperous ports in the South China Sea, whether it is the Chinese, the Portuguese, the Spanish, or the Dutch, they have all attached great importance to this triangular Yellow Dragon Flag, and they all know that the fleet flying this flag is the newly established Daqing Ocean Trade Fleet.

There are many kinds of commodities exported by the Qing Dynasty, but the most popular ones are only cotton, raw silk, silk, porcelain, rhubarb, etc., and the most popular, high-profit, and large quantity is undoubtedly raw silk.

Since cotton cloth and raw silk were designated for franchise and designated for export from the port of Shanghai, the Qing ocean-going trading fleet began to attract the attention of all the forces in the South China Sea, whether it was a maritime trade ship running to the Americas or Europe, if there was no raw silk on board, it would be unthinkable.

The Qing Dynasty allowed the export of two and three silkworm rough silk and soil silk, the annual output is about 150,000 quintals, in addition to domestic consumption, can be exported only about 100,000 quintals, raw silk is a monopoly, in order to achieve a monopoly effect, but also in order to appease the shareholders of the ocean-going fleet, Yinzhen ordered Zhang Yuanlong not to sell the share of raw silk.

Because of the monopoly of raw silk, the Qing ocean trade fleet became the most popular fleet in the major ports of the South Seas in less than a year, both the Spanish and the Dutch know that offending the Qing ocean trade fleet means cutting off the eastern trade route, they have already inquired clearly, the franchise of cotton cloth and raw silk is just the beginning.

The Port of Manila is one of the most prosperous ports in the South Seas, built after the Spanish occupation of Luzon in the late 16th century.

A large amount of silver mined by Spain in the American colonies was continuously imported from Manila to Asia, exchanged for raw silk, silk, cotton fabrics, porcelain and other consumer goods, and then shipped back to the Americas and Europe.

After more than 20 days of sailing, the sailors and crews of the Daqing ocean-going trade fleet that entered Manila Bay were excited, and they could reach their destination smoothly in half a day, which was naturally exciting.

On the big treasure ship in the middle of the fleet, the team leader Wang Tongxu also walked out of the room, came to the deck to look out, and felt the happy atmosphere of the crew, he is Zhang Yuanlong's brother-in-law, and he has always been running the Manila route, and he is quite familiar with the situation in Manila, but in the past, a small fleet like him from Shanghai has never been treated well in Manila, and this situation has changed dramatically until last year.

A sound like thunder interrupted his thoughts, and everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, the blue sky, cloudless, where did the thunder come from?

In the confusion of everyone, another "boom" sounded, and the experienced Wang Tongxu's face changed suddenly, this was the sound of cannons, and he immediately shouted: "The pirates have given an order, telling all ships to approach me." ”
