The price of those who sold their bodies outside was five to seven taels of silver, which was already a very high price.

Usually those who sell their bodies don't even want money, they just want a bite to eat. But even then, they are rarely able to find buyers.

Girls and boys, or able-bodied men, are more likely to find buyers. Other than that, the old and weak are not cared for.

If the girl has a better appearance, it is more sought-after.

After all, those girls can make a high profit as soon as they buy it and train it, and sell it to the Jiangnan area.

Zhao Hongyu gave a price of ten taels of silver regardless of whether he was old or weak, which made Zhu Shangwu very excited.

Don't talk about Zhu Shangwu, even after Xue Tai, who was standing next to Zhu Shangwu, listened to the offer, he felt that this deal could be done.

Some bankrupt outcasts, selling them to make money, this trade is worth doing.

The court can't take care of these people, and leaving them alone will cause turmoil.

Since this is the case, it is better to sell it to Zhao Hongyu.

Besides, even if Zhao Hongyu didn't buy it, those people were selling themselves in order to survive and eat enough not to starve to death.

In the face of such a situation, it is better to sell the boat to Zhao Hongyu.

They sold themselves and could not sell themselves for a good price, not even for the silver.

But if the imperial court intervenes and organizes these people to sell to Zhao Hongyu, at least the imperial court can get the silver, and they can contribute a little bit to the imperial court's treasury.

"Your Majesty, this transaction can be done, and the price is very fair. The price outside is not as high as this price, which shows that the crown prince is not cheating. ”

Thinking of this, Eunuch Xue reminded Zhu Shangwu in a low voice.

With Eunuch Xue's reminder, Zhu Shangwu was completely relieved.

Originally, although he was already moved, he never agreed. The reason is that he doesn't know the price of the population outside the road, for fear that he will suffer a loss if he offers less.

Well, now that Eunuch Xue, who understands this information, reminds Zhu Shangwu of what else to worry about now.

"Good! Let's do it at this price, but I don't know how many people you need? ”

Zhao Hongyu replied with a smile when he heard this: "As much as you want, as long as Your Highness gives me as many people as you give, I will pay as much silver as I want, and I will never be in arrears." Anyway, I've already borrowed five million taels of silver from you, and when you pay it back, I'll deduct it from it, so you don't have to worry about me defaulting on the bill, right? ”

Zhao Hongyu's proposal Zhu Shangwu liked it very much.

Yes, Zhao Hongyu took five million taels of silver and handed it over to himself. If you have white silver in hand, you don't have to worry about the other party not giving you the silver after handing it over.

And if he can hand over many, many people, then won't he say that he doesn't have to pay back the five million taels of silver at the end of the day?

Hahaha!

That's a good thing.

Some homeless people who are burdens and hidden dangers for the imperial court can exchange a large sum of silver for the imperial court, which is a great good thing, and only idiots will not agree.

At this time, Zhu Shangwu was really happy in his heart.

Yes, he had never been happier before, for the first time in his life.

"That's it. Men and children are ten taels of silver! ”

Zhu Shangwu stretched out his chubby hand to Zhao Hongyu...... -

Dividing Line –

"Your Highness, isn't ten taels of silver a lot for one person? If we don't go through the imperial court, in fact, we only need to take out three or four taels of silver, and we can buy a lot of people. Now the Jurchens are besieging the city. Those homeless people have all entered the city, so there are many hungry homeless people in the city, and we don't have to cooperate with the imperial court at all. ”

At this time, Zhao Hongyu and the others had already left the palace and returned to their residence.

After returning, Master Wang asked puzzled.

For Zhao Hongyu such an approach. It's really hard to understand when the prince is a prince.

According to his idea, as long as he took out the silver, how many people did he want to buy?

Now don't talk about silver. Give five catties of food, and many people are willing to follow.

Not to mention taking out real money.

And it's ten taels of silver, whether men, women, old or young.

The price is still acceptable if you buy some sturdy adult males, but what's the use of buying those old and weak.

Almost all of the princes can be predicted, and the population given by the imperial court at that time must be mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

This loss, the crown prince is determined.

Now his old king is already a member of the Great Song Dynasty, so this matter has to be considered for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Hongyu, who was lying under the eaves of the porch, smiled faintly when he heard this, and looked at the anxious Wang Fuzi.

"I know this in my heart, even if I am old and weak. After these people bought it back, they were all going to stay in San Francisco. Don't you also have 200 acres of land in San Francisco, how about I'll give you some? ”

Master Wang shook his head with a smile.

"My Highness, what do I want from those old and sick. Of course, I also need manpower, but what I need is strong labor, and I don't want my father to go back to support him. ”

It's really not much of that humorous guy.

Zhao Hongyu complained in his heart.

"Lao Wang, you don't have to worry about this. The old and weak are the old and weak, and the old people also have the benefits of the old people, and I can't understand it with you for a while. In short, when the Ming court hands over someone, you will have to get busy. ”

Alas!

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was reluctant to talk about this matter, Wang Fuzi couldn't continue to talk about this topic.

What a loser.

In order to pay off five million taels of silver, the imperial court will definitely find a lot of homeless people, but the quality of these homeless people can be understood with their butts, and it will definitely not be good.

How many of these people will be able to make it to San Francisco?

With such a long journey to sea, there must be a lot of people who will die on the way.

"Well, since Your Highness knows it in your heart, then I won't be verbose." , Master Wang nodded. "But Your Highness, now that the Jurchens are outside the city, it is obviously impossible to withdraw their troops in a short period of time. What should we do now? ”

"It's easy to do!" , Zhao Hongyu, who was lying on the recliner, clapped his hands gently, "I think sell some weapons to the imperial court." So that they can hold the Jingshi for a short time. At least I promise it won't be broken, right? “

Want to sell weapons to the imperial court?

The corner of Wang's eyes twitched.

"Your Highness, there is something wrong with this. Our Great Song Dynasty has sharp weapons, and it is a sharp weapon of the country. This kind of sharp weapon must not be leaked, how can it be sold to the imperial court. “

After all, Wang Fuzi's thinking is different from Zhao Hongyu, what he thinks is that the musket is powerful, which is the foundation and guarantee of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

How can such a powerful weapon be easily sold to others?

If this also has such a powerful weapon and cracks it, then what advantage does Da Song have in it.

The so-called, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. This is a thing that must not be done by selling weapons.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Hongyu saw that Wang Fuzi was so nervous, and he was also a little puzzled for a while.

Seeing Zhao Hongyu asking, Wang Fuzi hurriedly explained and told Zhao Hongyu his opinion.

And after listening to Wang Fuzi's words and understanding his thoughts, Zhao Hongyu had a feeling of crying and laughing.

This old-fashioned musket has no skill to speak of, and there is no need to hide it in this way.

Besides, although this old-fashioned musket has some technological content, it is still ahead of the world in some aspects. If the Ming Dynasty wants to crack it, then it will definitely take a lot of effort.

It will take a few years to do it.

There have been so many years. Maybe the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty will be even more replaced.

When the time comes, it's time to sell new weapons to Daming.

Moreover, the buying and selling of weapons is absolutely lucrative in another time and space. Zhao Hongyu, as a person from another time and space, how could he not know this.

Now that we have taken the line of Daming. and also met the wonderful Zhu Shangwu, so if he didn't start the arms trade, he would be an idiot.

And with the profits from the arms trade, he can also let Zhu Shangwu obediently continue to trade with his own population.

Therefore, the arms trade must be done with the Ming court.

As long as the Ming court did an arms business with itself. Then even if they get on their own thief ship, it will not be so easy to get down.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu did so. It is also to help the Ming Dynasty.

Because the situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time is basically the same as the historical trend of another time and space, there are Jurchen post-Jin countries aggressive outside, and there are uprisings and beacons everywhere.

To be honest, whether it is the short-lived Dashun Dynasty or the Later Jin Jurchens, Zhao Hongyu doesn't like it very much.

Pull a handful of Daming, so that he can fight against the Jurchens, and try not to have a situation where the Jurchens rule the Central Plains, this is what Zhao Hongyu wants.

But the Ming Dynasty is now in a lot of holes, and it is not so easy to support it.

What's more, Zhao Hongyu can't be posted upside down to Daming.

In that case, wouldn't he be a fool.13

Therefore, wouldn't it be better to be able to make money and support the Ming Dynasty through trade.

The arms trade is obviously capable of achieving such a goal.

The Ming army has advanced muskets, so how can it have a little advantage against the Jurchen cavalry.

As long as the Central Plains can not be occupied by the Jurchens, there will be a history like another time and space, for Zhao Hongyu, it will be fine.

For the East, Zhao Hongyu really has no ambitions.

He didn't want to conquer and kill in this land, after all, everyone was a descendant of Yan and Huang.

Besides, the Americas and Europe alone, as well as the Arab world, are enough for Zhao Hongyu to conquer.

And now Zhao Hongyu of the Americas has not completely occupied, it is just a situation on paper.

Therefore, for the East, Zhao Hongyu can only support rather than conquer.

For all this, it is impossible for the prince to know the way.

And Zhao Hongyu couldn't be so clear to him.

"You go to the Lifan Yuan and let them tell Emperor Zhu Shangwu that I have a batch of weapons ready to sell to them to deal with the Jurchens outside the city, and the price is very cheap." (To be continued......)
