Yu Qian asked Bai Minghe a question that didn't need an answer at all.

The Ming Dynasty has experienced wars, and wars are constant. It is still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and just the method of Cheng Zu taking turns to guard the border in the thirteen towns has made the Ming Dynasty produce I don't know how many veterans of a hundred battles, as well as ruthless people like General Mao.

Yu Qian asked again: "White name crane, sue me." Yu Qian's face was very stern: "How much profit do you have in Da Nang?" ”

"Isn't it worth sending heavy troops to protect it if the benefits are great?" The white crane didn't answer, but asked first.

Yu Qian didn't answer Bai Minghe, but just stretched out his hand and pointed at Bai Minghe, his face had sunk.

The white crane raised his hands high: "I said." In fact, this account has to be divided into three calculations, first of all, the silk is pulled here, according to the price of a load of 3,000 stone meters. It's an income, not too little, but not much. And then the rest of the things are also converted in meters, for example, there is a kind of grass, which is not worth much here, but after three or four months after going back, it can become indigo, the best indigo. This is the second way of income. ”

Yu Qian nodded, it is a sum of money to sell silk, and then collect some things at a low price and then pull them back to become valuable objects, which is another huge profit, at least three to five times the profit.

"Then, some things, such as wood and this kind of indigo, are brought back to Daming to make money themselves. But I dye the linen in many colors, and a lot of wood into combs, furniture, or whatever, and sell it back with rice wine, which is another advantage. ”

Hu Hu held the teacup and smiled, and his hands were trembling.

"White-named crane, white-named crane. If you open a sect to accept apprentices, the old man thinks that all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will come to you to study. You're really good at making money. ”

"Actually, this money can still be earned. It's just that the timing isn't right. ”

"For example?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"For example, I collect the timber and hire the locals here to make what I need, and then sell it to the locals. All I need to invest is start-up capital, and ......" Bai Minghe pulled a long voice: "Technology!" ”

This method has been very common in later modern times, but it is very amazing in the Ming Dynasty.

Bai Minghe continued: "The people of Nanzhang will like my approach very much, first, the king of Nanzhang has taxes to collect. Second, the people of Nanzhang can earn money. Third. The price of many goods has become lower. The people of Nanzhang will be happy if they spend less money. Fourth, people with vision in Nanzhang will not stop it, because I am equivalent to driving an industrial system in Nanzhang and promoting the technological innovation of many industries in Nanzhang! ”

Syllable. Syllable. Syllable. Hu Hu slapped his palm three times in a row.

"White Crane. You can be called a grandmaster. Hu Hui's expression was not a joke, but very strict.

The Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West, and Da Mingguang threw money into it.

Many businessmen smuggled. There are people who make money, but they are a minority, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have banned the sea. If the Ming Dynasty had such a big profit in the sea before, the emperor and the official would not have banned the sea.

"White Crane, how much silver do you have on board?" Yu Qian mentioned the silver again.

"Can we not talk about silver?" Shira-naka Crane really didn't want to answer.

"Okay!" Yu Qian sighed softly, and Bai Minghe also breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention silver. But who would have thought that Bai Minghe's breath hadn't spit out yet, Yu Qian asked again: "How much gold is folded?" ”

Bai Minghe covered his chest: "I want to vomit blood!" ”

"You better answer, it's very important." Yu Qian is very strict.

"Counting it, I've been here for half a year. The ship was not full of silver, but also spices, wood, stones, dried seafood, and Siamese fruit shops. So, what about the silver, ......" Bai Minghe really didn't want to answer, but Yu Qian glared at him, so Bai Minghe had to answer.

Finally, Bai Minghe let out a long breath: "There are about 300 stone of gold, and 13,400 stone of silver. This is a real number, a real real number. Of course, if I return to Beijing at the end of the year, it is estimated that the silver can reach 20,000 stones. However, most of this silver is not very pure, and it is only eighty and a half or ninety percent silver. ”

Silver purification technology, Siam and Nanzhang are not good.

Not only them, but Siam continued the silk of the Ming Dynasty to the west and south, and the purity of the silver over there was not good.

"Twenty thousand stones!" Yu Qian pointed his finger in front of the white crane.

How much is 20,000 stones, that is, more than 1,000 tons of silver, according to this weight, at least one ship of the white crane is all loaded with silver, and the white crane fortune ship left a large number of rooms with huge space, so the number of its cargo compartments is not as good as other pure transportation fortune ships.

Silver, gold, such things, with the character of a white crane, must be loaded on their own boats.

The silver of a whole lucky ship can scare the Manchu civil and military to death.

"Is the old man interested in knowing, where the silver comes from? And how will you earn yourself another sixty-six thousand taels of silver in less than forty days? Hu Hu asked.

"Old Hu, you're wrong, it's 66,000 stones!" Yu Qian reminded beside him: "It is calculated to be 1,05.6 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to my tax for half a year in the Ming Dynasty." ”

During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, the annual tax was almost equivalent to the income of 40 million stone grain.

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are very special, because of the small peasant ideas of Taizu Lao Zhu, so the taxes of the Ming Dynasty are collected in kind, and there is no treasury. It can be said that each province, each department has its own treasury. The so-called Taicang is just a warehouse and cannot represent the national treasury.

In terms of the state form of government, the Ming Dynasty was a failed form of government.

To give a simple example, in the seventeenth century, the Ming Dynasty was compared to England, where the Ming Dynasty earned 1,000 yuan and spent 100 yuan to barely maintain a simple political structure, while the British earned 100 yuan and spent 1,000 yuan to develop the country.

Many taxes in the Ming Dynasty were unreasonable, and those that should have been collected were not collected, and those that should not have been collected were collected indiscriminately.

And the indiscriminate collection did not go to the state's warehouse.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the capital Taicang only had four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, while many ordinary merchants and landlords in the south had millions of silver deposits. And the big officials of the Donglin Party have millions of gold at home. This made the Ming Dynasty have no silver for disaster relief, and no silver to fight against foreign enemies.

When Bai Minghe heard Yu Qian say half of the tax, he stimulated Yu Qian again: "I don't know, how much silver there is in Taicang." ”

"What do you want to say?" Yu Qian's tone was a little angry.

"I want to say, does Daming really understand the national economy and national taxes? If I do it here casually, I can create such a huge profit, but from another angle, what will happen if this money falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions? ”

Yu Qian was choked a lot, he knew that Bai Minghe was telling the truth.

Xing'an said at this time: "Therefore, the East Factory was handed over to you." While writing that Fang Xiaoru was a loyal minister in the notebook, you scolded Wan Xue'er at night that Fang Xiaoru was a fool, and the last cup of poisoned wine turned out to be the descendants of the Fang family and his henchmen, and by the way, you also eliminated those fools who still had sweet dreams in their hearts. ”

Yu Qian didn't know that there was such a thing at all, and when he asked, Xing'an talked about it in detail.

Yu Qian's face was pale.

Hu Hui is the same, but he is secretly glad that Bai Minghe is loyal to today. Although the idea of Jianwen's relics was used in raising cheap silver, it was not poured over there, otherwise it would be said that such a huge amount of silver and rice. As the secretary of the military department, he doesn't know what to fight against.

It's really a smile, Bai Minghe took out the silver equivalent to the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty for two years in half a year. And the Daming treasury is just as Bai Minghe said, but there are so many numbers, and there is only a balance of two or three million taels of silver a year directly in the treasury.

"The old man wants to give you a great credit when he returns to Beijing. For now, let's return to the topic, you only have forty days, how can you earn more than 10 million taels of silver. ”

"Let's talk about Fuzhou first, Fuzhou hasn't handed over this year's profits to me, and I don't count this one. Let them load a boat alone and bring me into Beijing. Let's just say that I am from Guangdong, and I still have two astronomical transactions waiting to collect money, even if there is no silver or gold, I have to pull a boatload of stones back. ”

Stones, fart stones.

Yu Qian also reacted, just now he heard Bai Minghe say that he had stones on his boat.

Originally, it was only a ballast stone, but now I want to come to Bai Minghe, your stone is more valuable than gold, and the gems of Siam are all of the highest quality, so you can pull a boat back.

"First, I have steel in my hands, and I want to sell steel knives. Treasure knife level, 100,000 pieces, one is 500 stone meters. That's 50 million stones, and at this price, the King of Siam will thank me and give me a big gift in private. I have picked out all the gifts, 10,000 precious Buddhist scriptures, all of which are gilded and inlaid with precious stones, and each one has a history, a monk's handwritten book, and a drop of blood is ink! ”

Good thing, this thing is a treasure in the hands of Buddhist disciples.

If you put it in the hands of the white crane, you can definitely exchange it for the same weight of gold.

Yu Qian defined the silk shop pù as a loss of conscience, and did not define the steel knife shop pù because he couldn't think of a more ruthless word.

When he came to Bai Minghe, Yu Qian thought that using all the words he said was far from enough to describe Bai Minghe's mentality and means of making money.

White Crane Channel? Yu Qian doesn't believe it now, Bai Minghe just said that this guy has no gods and Buddhas in his heart.

The Daomen will not exchange the blood for the Buddhist scriptures of the great monk Mo in exchange for silver.

Of course, Yu Qian believed that Bai Minghe would definitely do an excellent job on the surface, without the slightest hint of copper.

Bai Minghe smiled very sinisterly, and mysteriously took out a small cloth bag from his arms: "This is the reason why I really chose Hepu at the beginning of the year, and I went to sea to make money." When I see the sea, I think of silver, and earn some money by the way. ”

What is worth millions of taels of silver?

Xing'an, who was sitting in the distance, came over, and several adults all gathered around Bai Minghe. (To be continued......)
