Chapter 1013 What Can Be Done, and What Is Ready to Be Done (Three Watches!) )
Li Xiang heard the taste from His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu, the crown prince, and knew that the crown prince did not trust the Japanese people very much.
In fact, Li Xiang also doesn't trust the Japanese people very much.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu has such an idea, and Li Xiang is very happy.
For Li Xiang, Zhao Hongyu is of Yanhuang blood, and he is a descendant of the Song Dynasty, so it is psychologically acceptable. But the Japanese people are different, in Li Xiang's heart, the Japanese people are of different races.
Originally, he was still a little worried that Kyushu would be handed over to the girl Tokugawa Kayo to be in charge, and after a long time, those Japanese retainers of the Tokugawa family would have ambitions.
But now that I look at it, my worries are completely unnecessary.
With the existence of his own water division, it is equivalent to putting a shackle on the Japanese people. Even if they wanted to get rid of the control of the Song Empire, it would be impossible.
Of course, what Li Xiang didn't know was that Zhao Hongyu had already made arrangements. For the containment of the Tokugawa family, it is not only Li Xiang who is such a powerful force.
For example, the 'Imperial Army' led by Yuji Kawabe was arranged in the Satsuma Domain, and as smart as Yuji Kawabe, of course he knew what he should do.
Another example is Hattori Kizo, who is in charge of the Tokugawa ninja army, and he was also given the status of a military general, and he was transferred away from Tokugawa Kayo's side.
These are all things that were arranged to prevent the Tokugawa family from becoming bigger.
The most important thing is that Zhao Hongyu will also station the Imperial Gene Man soldiers in Nagasaki, so that Kyushu will not be out of Zhao Hongyu's control at all.
Especially now that people here in Kyushu are making money, the desire to consume is very strong. Then there needs to be a large number of goods to fill in to meet the needs of the people of Kyushu.
From the point of view of food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is no way to satisfy the people of Kyushu after they have money.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu can show his skills here.
Because he has a cheat against the sky, he can supply supplies in large quantities.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu supplies supplies goods and goods. It's also profitable.
After all, when the people of Kyushu consume, they use a lot of gold to buy goods. Who makes gold cheap here in Japan, Zhao Hongyu can't make this money if he doesn't make it.
At the same time, the goods and materials here in Kyushu will not be sold only here in Kyushu.
Merchants from the local side of the Wa Kingdom will also buy a large number of goods through the gray channels, and then bring them back to the chaotic Wa Kingdom to sell.
Inside and out, Zhao Hongyu and he have made a lot of money.
It's still just for the Japanese market, over time. At that time, Zhao Hongyu will even be able to open up the market to Goryeo, as well as the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asia.
You must know that the goods on hand of Zhao Hongyu are absolutely unique in this era, and no one can imitate them.
So, this creates a monopoly in commerce.
Monopoly is known to everyone, and this thing is very profitable.
So, how could Zhao Hongyu not make money.
Looking back, because of these commodities to meet people's consumption, people are slowly getting used to this kind of life.
So. The people here in Kyushu will basically have a good impression of the rule of the Song people. Even if Tokugawa Kayo wants to get rid of the Song Empire in the future, will the people follow her?
There's no way she's going to supply such a product for everyone to enjoy.
It's hard to be true, there are really people who are cheap. Do you want to live the old days of eating two meals a day and eating wild vegetables for every meal?
Come to think of it, there shouldn't be such idiots in this world.
That is to say, Zhao Hongyu through the improvement of living standards. And everyone is accustomed to enjoying this kind of life, and slowly affects the appeal of Tokugawa Kayo to Kyushu.
When the time comes, the Tokugawa family will slowly become a symbol.
In fact. There are already signs of this.
Especially the Japanese people living in Nagasaki.
If you ask them who Tokugawa Yoshiyo is, although they know that Tokugawa Yoshiyo is the governor of Kyushu, the big guys are very unimpressed with Tokugawa Yoshiyo.
Because everyone understands very well that all these things they can enjoy now are brought by the Song people.
For example, meat that they couldn't eat before, rice, and all kinds of non-staple foods that they had never seen before. These are all under the rule of the Song people, if they are ruled by the Japanese lords, where will there be such a good life.
For all that Zhao Hongyu did, Li Xiang couldn't figure it out at all.
As time passed, the Japanese people got used to this kind of life, and even if something did happen, they wouldn't get used to it.
Think about it, how good life is now.
When I think about that kind of life before, I feel pitiful and shabby.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and from thrift to luxury, which is such a truth.
It is through this invisible means that Zhao Hongyu slowly let the Japanese people in Kyushu get used to such a 'luxurious' life, so that they can no longer live the kind of life they used to have.
"I'm going to set up a branch of the umbrella company here in Kyushu, as well as a trade department in the Far East. The main thing is to deal with the goods of the country and trade with the countries of the East. I don't know if you have any thoughts and suggestions on this? ”
Zhao Hongyu asked Li Xiangdao seriously.
Now that Kyushu has fallen into his hands, then Zhao Hongyu decided to develop Kyushu here.
At the same time as development, trade with the East should also be carried out in a timely manner.
After all, the development of the Americas also requires a lot of money.
It was not enough to rely on the trade between Europe and the Arabs.
If you can open up one more source of wealth, why not do it.
There is a lot more gold here in the East than in the West.
Especially in the East, there are some products here, and they can be sold at a high price in the virtual world.
Hearing this, Li Xiang sat up straight and her expression became serious.
"Your Highness, I wonder what kind of goods the empire has for sale?"
Although Li Xiang is a pirate, he also works part-time as a maritime merchant while working as a pirate.
It's like collecting protection money or something, it's just part of his business.
"What did you do before?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
When he saw Zhao Hongyu asking him about trading, Li Xiang thought for a while and replied: "If you want to talk about profitable trading, of course, it is from the Ming Dynasty to the side of the Wa Kingdom, and the profits in it are very large." ”
Speaking of this deal, Li Xiang's eyebrows suddenly danced.
Yes, there is a shortage of copper on the side of the Japanese country. So the price of copper is high.
A shipload of copper coins from Daming can be exchanged for gold several times the value here in the Wa Kingdom. And the price of gold in the Wa Kingdom is very cheap, so the difference in the middle can make people make a fortune.
When this gold returns to the Ming Dynasty and converts it into silver, it will be able to increase the cost by five or six times in one trip.
This is the most business done by maritime merchants at sea in this era.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu will not do this deal, because the price does not match.
The price of copper in the virtual world has been rising, although it can be exchanged for gold, but although the profit is not as good as other transactions.
In fact, for Zhao Hongyu, it is the most cost-effective to exchange industrial silver for the gold of the Japanese Kingdom.
"What else is there to make money buying and selling?"
Zhao Hongyu thought about it in his heart. After thinking about it, he continued to ask.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu, the crown prince, he was very interested in doing business, and Li Xiang suddenly came to his senses.
In fact, Li Xiang's interest in trading is also more than that of pirates.
Even, in Li Xiang's own heart, he always felt that if he didn't become a pirate, he would definitely be even better if he became a businessman.
Of course, Li Xiang ignored the fact that that. If he hadn't become a pirate first, the sea trade he wanted to do wouldn't have been so easy.
Therefore, Li Xiang thinks that he is a business genius or something, and it is all his own YY.
Know the way. During the years when he monopolized the eastern sea trade routes, it was much more convenient to use his power to do business than ordinary merchants. Not to mention that after becoming a pirate, he had accumulated so much capital.
Is this comparable to the average businessman?
It's just that there are questions like this. was ignored by Li Xiang, who considered himself a business genius.
"Your Highness, if you want to say that you are doing business here, there are a lot of people who make money." Li Xiang looked at Zhao Hongyu with bright eyes and said to him. "The girl over there in Goryeo can only buy a few taels of silver, but when she sells it to a wealthy family on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it can be multiplied dozens of times when she changes hands. This is just a girl's profit, like a big ship with a hundred people, it is not a problem, so if you get it right once, it will be the same as playing if you earn 10,000 taels of silver. ”
Li Xiang licked her dry lips, and her mouth foamed at the mouth.
It can be seen that Li Xiang is really not generally interested in doing business.
"And think about it, Your Highness, it must be a waste for such a big ship to just load some Korean women, so every time you bring some valuable medicinal herbs that are easy to carry, you can earn even more. For example, the old ginseng from Goryeo, and the Dongzhu from the Jurchens in Liaodong, these are all money-making things. ”
Li Xiang's mouth was foaming, but Zhao Hongyu was not interested in listening to it.
After all, Zhao Hongyu will not do human trafficking.
Don't look at him encouraging the genetics citizens of Manhattan to buy slaves, but buying is not the same as selling.
Besides, both Manhattan and Quebec have a lot of cultivated land. Someone has to plant these fertile fields, right?
And the Song Empire has only been founded for a little more than three years now, where are so many people?
Therefore, in order to have enough labor, then the only way to buy black slaves that the Europeans had trafficked from Africa had to buy.
You can't let all the genetic people go to farming.
You must know that in the plan of Zhao Hongyu and several other high-level officials of the empire, the Chinese race within the empire cannot farm the land, and must become a group of the ruling class in the upper echelons.
Therefore, such hard work as farming can only be handed over to foreigners.
However, the Chinese people of the Song Empire could buy slaves, but they could not arrest or sell slaves.
In order not to record such a black history in the history books in the future, Zhao Hongyu is on guard against this.
When the time comes, this black cauldron, and the history that has brought suffering to the blacks, will still have to be carried by the Europeans.
I have to say that Zhao Hongyu's approach is typical of being cheap and selling well.
Although he was not interested in the sale of Korean women that Li Xiang said, he was interested in what Li Xiang said about the abundance of wild ginseng in Goryeo.
As a visitor from another time and space, Zhao Hongyu knows very well what kind of expensive price a wild ginseng with its quality and weight is.
And the virtual world, which is the same as the modern world, is also a big gap for this thing.
No!
It is even said that as long as there is, then there will be a market.
And in this era, there are many wild people for decades, let alone hundreds of years.
But on the side of the virtual world, it is not surprising that a wild ginseng that is hundreds of years old can be sold for hundreds of millions.
After all, this thing has become extinct due to the destruction of the ecological environment.
At the same time, there are so many rich people, in order to save their lives or make up for it, local tyrants who don't care about money will definitely not care about the price.
Moreover, the medicinal value of ginseng for hundreds of years is indeed very high.
Rich people don't care about money.
It's not surprising to sell for hundreds of millions.
For those who have money, money is just a fucking butt wipe.
But the centuries-old wild ginseng thing is real.
Strictly speaking, even if ginseng is hundreds of years old, it is not worth the price.
But you can't stand someone willing to pay a lot of money for it.
Zhao Hongyu felt that this business could be done, but it had to be done for a long time.
And this is for the trade on the side of the virtual world, and he must find a few more profit points.
It's like selling Korean girls, you can't do that.
After all, he can't sell the Goryeo girl to the side of the virtual world.
Apparently this is unlikely.
There are not many people who play pearls in modern times, so the Jurchen Dongzhu may not have a small path.
Grandma's, Zheng Zhilong occupied the southern seas, just blocking the sea passage to Siam and South Vietnam.
Otherwise, it's okay to go over there and get some jadeite or jade rough.
The quality of the rough stone in this year is definitely higher than that of modern ones, and the jade or jadeite produced is also better.
To put it mildly, if you get a few hundred rough stones a year, you can have billions or even tens of billions of dollars.
It is not a problem to sell a good rough stone for 100 million at all.
And in this era, isn't it very easy to get rough stones?
Zhao Hongyu listened to Li Xiang constantly tell him about the business that could be done at sea, and he slowly moved in his heart.
As soon as he thought of this question, Zhao Hongyu was excited.
At the same time, it also greatly identified the determination to kill Zheng Zhilong.
At the very least, if he doesn't kill Zheng Zhilong, he will destroy his Zheng family's pirate fleet, and he must not let them stop him from making a fortune.
Think about it, what you can do now is to exchange industrial silver for the gold of the Japanese country.
At the same time, you can also purchase wild ginseng from Goryeo.
Of course, some copycat products in the virtual world must also be promoted.
Like genetically modified rice and meat, as well as all kinds of copycat daily necessities, these are all deals that can be bought and sold slowly and slowly.
Zhao Hongyu will not give up.
It's just that the trading of Korean ginseng and industrial silver for gold can make his assets skyrocket in a short period of time...... (To be continued......)
