"This is a merchant in Jiaozhou! It's called Sun Wen! Mi Zhu on the side spoke to Liu Mang.

"Jiaozhou!" Liu Mang groaned for a moment, he was a little puzzled, could it be someone from the Jiaozhou Shi family.

"Lord, Weichen has found someone to investigate, this person is just a small businessman in Jiaozhou, and his family wealth is not more than a thousand gold, because he can't do it in Jiaozhou, so he came to Yangzhou!" Mi Zhu explained to Liu Mang.

"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded, maybe he was too worried, but looking at the lease of the ships on it, Liu Mang couldn't help but smile, "This Sun Wen is a little interesting, three merchant ships, is his ship full?" Aren't you afraid that this trip will run away directly when you encounter the waves? Liu Mang said with a smile.

This Sun Wen has a total of so much money, I am afraid that half of it will be paid to rent a ship, plus these three ships are more than 100 tons a day, how can they be filled, and Liu Mang can't say clearly on this sea, the sea is immeasurable, and it is also unpredictable, if it encounters a big storm, it may really be bloodless, and then this Sun Wen may also be destitute.

"My lord, this person is already planning to travel with this merchant ship!" Mi Zhu said to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang felt even more interesting when he heard this, and the passage of merchant ships? This is going out to the ocean, whether you can come back or not is two words, the general ones who lease merchant ships are all merchant clans, but don't think that those merchant leaders and clan leaders will go out by themselves, they have sent their own treasurers and the like, and they still want to die on the sea.

But this Sun Wen was ready to travel in person, which saved Liu Mang from helping him think about the trouble of losing in a storm before, and if he encountered a big storm, he would sink with the ship, so why do you want to do so much.

"Pass it on. And the man waived the fee for renting the boat, and gave him three thousand gold, no. Five thousand gold! Liu Mang has made a lot of money this time, and a small businessman actually took out 5,000 gold.

"Five thousand gold? Lord. This. This? "It's just that Mi Zhu doesn't understand a little, this Sun Wen is just a small businessman who can't get along in Jiaozhou, as for such preferential treatment?

"Zifang, I don't understand business things, but you don't understand the things in this person's heart!" Liu Mang said with a smile, there are risks in going to sea, everyone knows this. Those businessmen who go to sea, except for those who really have an adventurous spirit like Sun Wen, the rest are inextricably linked to him Liu Mang, such as Liu Neng's Liu family, and Mi Zhu's Mi family, these emerging scholars go to sea because they know a little bit of the inside story, and they are more for Liu Mang to see.

There are very few truly independent businessmen left.

Liu Mang needs to give Sun Wen an example to encourage these individuals to go to sea, the scale of going to sea will only get bigger and bigger, Funan and Lin Hu are just two of the small countries, and there is still more room for the later to enter the Indian Ocean. And that's not all, there are other new continents to discover.

And the risk of going to sea is very great, which can make these businessmen go to sea without their lives. One of the reasons for this is high profits, which is true.

The 5,000 gold, Liu Mang didn't really give it directly to Sun Wen over there, but leased it to him, at least let him fill the ship slowly, and the rest was rewarded to him. He Liu Mang just wants to set up a model to come out, so that everyone knows that if you want to get rich, then go to sea, if you want to get rich, then go to sea. If you want to get ahead, then go to sea.

"Zhang's family?" Liu Mang saw another list. frowned.

If this Zhang family is not wrong in his guess, then this person should be Chen Liu's Zhang family? How did he come to Yangzhou.

"My lord. This Zhang family also has business dealings with us! Mi Zhu over there said to Liu Mang, now the sea mouth is basically in Liu Mang's hands, so Liu Mang holds the sea salt, but Liu Mang's Yangzhou generation is not as much iron as the north, so he appeared to come and go, you want salt, I want iron, and they are leveled with each other, and there is also cloth, the weather in the south is hot and humid, and the cloth is naturally less, and the clothes are all single, but the north is different, the north is cold, although the clothes are also worn more, This cloth Yangzhou has long since changed from a single manual to the current silk reeling machine.

The efficiency of producing cloth is fast, the amount of cloth is naturally larger, and the price is bound to decrease, which is a gospel for the north, originally only the rich and noble families can wear warm in winter, and now ordinary people can afford it, such a big business opportunity, is to have a great hatred with Yangzhou, and those Yanzhou officials will not be caught in the door and do not trade.

Chen stayed in the Zhang family, Zhang Miao's Zhang family.

"This Xun Yu can play!" Liu Mang laughed twice, procurement belongs to logistics, and naturally belongs to Xun Yu over there, but now Xun Yu has been transferred out of Xu Du and gone to Liaodong.

This Zhang family is Zhang Miao's Zhang family, the Zhang family was still friends with Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law, the cheap father-in-law Lu Bu, when they entered Yanzhou, they opened the city gate, I wanted to rely on Lu Bu to get up again, but I didn't expect that our father-in-law didn't give his strength and was driven out by Lao Cao again.

Lao Cao can be regarded as benevolent to kill the first evil of the Zhang family, leaving the blood of the Zhang family, and the development over the years is not bad, Xun Yu also knows that other families will be more or less suppressed by Yangzhou if they come to Yangzhou to buy and sell, but this Chen Liuzhang family will not, because Lu Bu owes the Zhang family, and he will naturally compensate him in some places.

Over the years, the Zhang family has made a lot of money in Yangzhou...... Of course, Yangzhou itself will not lose, this is a win-win thing, but what Liu Mang didn't expect was that the Zhang family of Chen Liuliu actually participated in the suitability of going to sea.

"My lord, why don't I go and inform them so that the merchant ships will not be leased to them?" Mi Zhu looked at Liu Mang's expression and asked tentatively at Liu Mang.

"Rent? Why not rent? Liu Mang smiled and groaned, "Not only lease, but you go and sue the person in charge of the Zhang family, we not only rent, we also exempt their rent, and also lend them 5,000 gold, if you earn, even the principal will be repaid." If you lose, it's half of one person! ”

Mi Zhu felt that his brain was completely insufficient today, and the appearance of a Sun Wen over there had already made Mi Zhu head stumbling. Here you want to lend it to Chen's Zhang family? This lord has too much money to spend.

"However, you have to talk to the people of the Zhang family over there. Whether it's settling the bill or repaying the principal, I want Jin Lu Bu, I don't want the rest, and what I give him is also Jin Lu Bu! Liu Mang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord, do you want to take the opportunity to bring Jin Lubu to Yanzhou?" Mi Zhu's eyes widened, and he seemed to understand all at once.

"Why not!" Liu Mang blinked.

Jin Lu Bu this thing is completely based on Yangzhou, for the gold standard system, in the past, Yangzhou's Jin Lu Bu and gold can be completely equivalent exchange, but now it is not possible. In the past, I will return to you how much gold Lu Bu you have, and now, within ten is a thousand gold, then I may exchange it for you, but more than ten, that is the need to review, generally speaking, it will be ten days and half a month to review, if you have a heavy amount of money, then the time will be longer, for businessmen, time is money. Even if you lend out the gold, it will be the money you spent for nothing. If the gold is exchanged for something other than Yangzhou, such as Yanzhou, then the review period will be even longer.

It is precisely because of the hassle of auditing. One of the results of this is that many businessmen are reluctant to change, so I keep Jin Lu Bu, because Jin Lu Bu still has the meaning of zài, and it is not knitted, and it is easy to carry, and one hundred gold is one hundred gold.

Slowly flooding the market was Jin Lu Bu instead of gold, and the gold was naturally received into Yangzhou's treasury.

Liu Mang asked this Zhang family to settle with Jin Lu Bu, and that was even more his plan.

Liu Mang doesn't say 100% of the money when he goes to sea, but 80% of it may still be there. The news that Liu Neng brought back over there was that he used a kettle and a broken knife on the opposite side of his boat. He exchanged two pieces of gold from a small tribe in the small country of Linhu, and that one was twice as big as Liu Mang's fist. These two things are still worthless, if they are valuable things, such as some new tea porcelain and the like, those tribal masters will naturally like it, once they like it, then there is still a shortage of money? Therefore, no matter how poor a country is, its rulers are all rich.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Mang is ready to organize a large-scale trading activity to open a trade route. Eight thousand naval non-commissioned officers were also sent to protect merchant ships.

After this first voyage, Liu Mang believes that there will be a second and third time, and when the time comes, the scale of Yangzhou's caravan to sea will only get bigger and bigger, and the grain will be transported back in a steady stream.

Even if the grain is well sealed, it can't be stored for a long time, too much, Liu Mang naturally needs to sell all the grain that has been going on for a long time, who is the person who sells it, and the one who is close to it is Yanzhou and Jingzhou. When the deal comes up, Yanzhou will only slowly integrate into Yangzhou's Jin Lu Bu system, and when he finds out that he can no longer do without Jin Lu Bu, Yanzhou will be almost finished.

"Will Yanzhou agree?" Mi Zhu still has concerns, will this Yanzhou direction agree to the circulation of Jin Lu Bu? There have been cases of being sent back before.

"It used to be before, but now that Xun Yu is gone, I see who will stop it!" Liu Mang sneered, even if there are people who understand, but what they understand even more is that cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, once you refuse the circulation of Jin Lubu, you will prevent the scholars in Yanzhou from coming to make money, so that even if you don't want to, those scholars will also exert pressure.

After discussing with Mi Zhu for a while, he settled on some basic things, and Mi Zhu went back.

Time always flies.

In the courtyard of an inn in Yangzhou, several middle-aged men and a few young people were in the courtyard, and the middle-aged men seemed to be thinking about something.

"Family master, how risky is this going to sea, don't you know it?" One of the middle-aged men complained to the middle-aged man on the throne over there.

"That's it, third brother, my father asked you to inherit the position of the head of my Sun family, and our brothers didn't object, that's because we know that third brother, you are a capable person, and only you can bring glory and wealth to our Zhang family, but now you are too reckless in this matter!" Another middle-aged man spoke, also complaining.

"Second uncle, uncle, father is also forced to do so!" The young man over there explained.

"As a last resort? Did someone with a knife force force him to charter a boat? Did you force him to write that application card? ”

"This going to sea may not be a way out, our Sun family was driven out of Jiaozhou by someone, can we go back now? Although the trade routes in Yangzhou are vast, have you ever thought about it, why can our Sun family gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, with no power and no power? Isn't this qiē only done by relying on his father? The young man was also annoyed.

"Hmph, Sun Wu, don't say good things for your father, if you want me to say, you should come up with the money and let our family go to Yangzhou Academy to study, and come back with a fame, so that our Sun family can gain a firm foothold!" The uncle spoke again.

In the final analysis, he is still because of money, Yangzhou Academy, in addition to relying on his own ability to be admitted, there is also a cost of money, but the tuition fee of 100 gold is not something that ordinary people can afford, this uncle is like Sun Wen asked for money, but Sun Wen did not give it, it is not that Sun Wen is stingy, but that the son of his eldest brother's family is really not a student of study, and the money is not wasted.

Now that Sun Wen has come to charter a boat to go to sea, this uncle suddenly broke out, you don't give my son the money to study, and now you want to gamble with all your belongings?

"Uncle, come on, Brother Cheng is still studying, and with that money, he would have given it to Sister Yao a long time ago!" The young man said unceremoniously to this uncle.

"What are you talking about, you talk to the elders like this!" The uncle was also angry, and yelled at the young man over there, "Your father is also here today, he doesn't respect the elders, what should I do according to my grandson's family law?" ”

"Family law? Do you still have family law in your eyes? My father is the head of the Sun family, what decision does he need your uncle's advice? The atmosphere became more and more tense, as if it could explode all at once.

"Alright, that's enough!" Over there, Sun Wen roared, his eyes were full of anger, his Sun family was the rich among the poor, but he was the poor among the rich. (To be continued) R466
