Zheng He's feat of going to the West has long passed one or two hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty has lost the ability to explore the unknown world over the years, but Western missionaries have traveled thousands of miles to send those novelties to the Celestial Empire, so that the former Celestial Empire characters are amazed!

Maybe standing at the pinnacle of the world for too long, the elite of the Celestial Empire seems to be extremely sluggish, and only regard the Western astronomical calendar, clocks and musical instruments as gadgets, but as a time-traveler, they know too well that this is the turning point of prosperity and decline.

Qin Shixiao and the others visited Japan again, and they also brought back a large amount of gold and silver materials, which caused a sensation that was quite amazing. The civil servants stared at the gold and silver to fill the financial gap, and the generals coveted the copper mines, pondering the need to build more artillery.

As for the merchants of Henan, they were even more alarmed, they had long heard that overseas trade was lucrative, but when it came to what Cheng dù, these people still had no idea. But the real money was placed in front of him, and the strong attraction was indescribable.

The most touching color in the world is not beauty, after ten years of elegance, it is inevitable that people will be old and yellow. But gold is timeless, always so splendid, so maddening.

In order to further burn the enthusiasm of the big guys, Gu Zhenhua sent invitations to celebrities from all walks of life, asking them to go to the palace for a banquet and listen to Qin Shixiao's introduction.

For a while, the businessmen who had a little head and face were alarmed, and everyone squeezed their heads, and did not hesitate to spend money to go through the back door, no matter what, they had to come and listen, they were keenly aware that this was an unprecedented business opportunity.

……

"Lord Wang, all the virtuous people. Wajima is rich in gold and silver, and some maritime merchants named Wajima the Silver Islands. In my opinion, it is not! Wajima doesn't just produce silver. There is also a larger amount of gold, take Daming as an example. One tael of gold for ten taels of silver, more and more overseas silver has been sold over the years, in fact, twelve or three taels, or even fifteen taels can be exchanged for one tael of gold. Five taels of silver, or even three taels of silver, can be exchanged for one tael of gold on Wajima, and the difference in price is huge. Incredible! ”

Yes!

These wealthy businessmen present were all drilled out of the money eye, and they were calculated on a one-to-ten basis, from the Ming Dynasty to Japan with silver. Turn it back into gold, and then ship it back to China, back and forth, double the profit!

In fact, this is the most conservative estimate. You don't need to bring any money at all. Purchasing silk tea porcelain from Daming, exchanging it for gold in Japan, and then returning to Daming, back and forth, the profit is at least two or three times! By the way, you may be able to go to North Korea to have a look, and then go to buy Korean ginseng, and the profits will rise!

Hou Youfang, the deputy chairman of the Kaifeng Senior Council, swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked, "Lord Qin." Is there really so much gold and silver in the little Wa Island? If only it would be all lit up in a year or two. I'm afraid this business isn't interesting! ”

Qin Shixiao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the island is not big, in terms of area, it is not smaller than Henan. And I can rest assured and boldly tell you that the gold, silver and copper mines on Wajima can be mined for at least a few decades, or even hundreds of years. Presumably everyone knows about the thief Toyotomi Hideyoshi, right? In Osaka, a castle tower was built with five floors on the outside and eight to ten floors on the inside, and the Sanba Bungen Maru tiles covered on the castle tower were made of gold leaf, and there was a movable gold tea room, where the walls, ceiling, and floor were made of gold, and even the skeleton of the paper door was made of gold. Extravagant Cheng dù is not under the Forbidden City. ”

"Wild and bold!"

Ge Su, the envoy of Henan University, said angrily: "Little widow, dare to transgress the system like this, is there any Heavenly Empire in his eyes!" ”

Fang Jianming smiled slightly: "Old Ge, if they have the Heavenly Empire, as for the rebellion for so long, will they still attack the subject country of North Korea?" Since Zheng He went to the West, my Celestial Dynasty has followed the ancestral system, and the imperial court no longer preaches force overseas, so these clowns naturally jumped up. ”

"That's right." Qin Shixiao said: "Wadao does have no respect for the Celestial Empire, and when I first arrived in Wadao, I even heard that some people threatened to attack Korea again and let the Celestial Empire be plundered along the coast. ”

"Look for death!"

The generals had already slapped the table, jumped up, and shouted loudly: "What do the Japanese regard as the Ming Dynasty, the fat meat that they want?" The prince, the last general is willing to raise a brigade of divisions, set foot on the island, and snatch back all the gold and silver to the prince, so as to enrich the country! ”

The old man Ge Su frowned, and said: "Generals, I am the Heavenly Empire, benevolence and righteousness come first, the island is lonely overseas, a barbarian land, just send a messenger to reprimand it, the labor expedition is really worth the loss, not to mention the current enemy, it is not appropriate to make too many enemies!" ”

"Ge Lao, what you said is not right, is there less offense to the Celestial Empire, from the Hongwu period to Jiajing Wanli, the Japanese are endless. It can be said that it is not evil, should we continue to tolerate and connive? ”

Wu Kaijie, as the deputy chief of the General Staff, is resolutely the main battle, especially after listening to Gu Zhenhua's words, he is also a little repulsed by the traditional Confucian rhetoric.

He walked up to Qin Shixiao, grabbed a handful of golden sand, and said with a smile: "Is such a place rich in gold and silver still a barbaric place?" In my opinion, it's fat, and I can't let it go! ”

Qin Shixiao also nodded, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, in the past, his subordinates definitely did not advocate the use of troops across the sea, but after seeing the wealth of Wadao, he thought that this battle would definitely not be lost, and the profit was not small, please make a decision!" ”

Gu Zhenhua listened to everyone's discussion and smiled slightly: "This king wants to say two points, the first is to put aside Huayi's fixed views and look overseas." The Celestial Empire has been in a cycle of chaos for many years, and land annexation has continued. Even if this king establishes the grange, will it be broken in fifty years, a hundred years later? In fact, according to this king's opinion, he may not be able to hold out for that long. No one here wants to repeat the rebellion of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's thieves! The problem of eating could not be solved by the Confucian sage, and the Confucian education could not withstand hunger. If you want to solve the problem, you can only look overseas, make profits from Siyi, grab resources, and ensure the survival of the people of the Celestial Empire, this is the only feasible way! ”

Whether it is in all dynasties, even overseas, there are voices everywhere that admire the saints of Confucius, and many of Confucius's words are directly said from the perspective of the ruler, such as the most famous "The people can make it, but they can't make it known." This famous saying, the rulers of the past dynasties have seen it as if they saw their fathers and mothers, that is called a heart comprehension, absolute body lì line, according to this, unswerving.

Another example, "He is also filial to others." And those who are good offenders are rare. It is not easy to commit, and those who are good at making trouble will not have it." That is, if people are filial, they will not be guilty of rebellion, and one sentence has laid the tone of the successive dynasties to rule the world with filial piety.

Another example is "the king, respect the matter, and then eat it." and so on, that is, to teach the courtiers to give more and take less, and it makes the rulers so happy that they can't help themselves.

It was passed on hundreds of years later, when an uncle named Sam translated this sentence in their dialect: "Don't ask what the country has given you, first ask what you have done for the country."

Gu Zhenhua actually bombarded Confucius, no matter from which angle, this is an absolute rebellion and absolutely intolerable!

Tixue Ge Lao Mao blew his beard and stared, looking like he was going to eat people, he just wanted to argue, but the students around him held down the old man.

"Teacher, take a look!"

Ge Su was taken aback, looked around, and knew that those wealthy businessmen and generals were dancing one by one, and they were drunk and obsessed. With the development of commerce, the Confucian set is becoming more and more a constraint for industry and commerce. What parents can't travel far, what is heavy agriculture and suppresses business, what is the mourning system......

finally heard someone bombarding Kong Meng, especially the Liao king, who was still a high-ranking and powerful king, and everyone smelled the smell of policy reversal, so they rejoiced one by one.

"Lord Wang, what you said is so right, the people of the Celestial Empire have suffered all these years, it's time for everyone to find a way out! Why don't you give the order now, and we will send troops to Wajima! ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled and waved his hand: "The second point that this king wants to say is how to start, snatching is a very tasteless thing." Our Celestial Empire is prosperous, so it is natural that we should give priority to commodities and goods, open the door to the Japanese Kingdom, and trade fairly. However, they are barbaric, shameless, and forgetful of profit. Therefore, the army must escort the escort in the rear, and if the Japanese state is honest, it will naturally not say anything, otherwise it will be severely punished. All in all, everything you do, you have to do business like that, and calculate the gains and losses on the abacus, what do you think? ”

"The prince is clever, I am waiting to admire!" (To be continued......)
