If you talk about sea trade, Wu is second to none, he spent almost his youth in Wu country, not to mention that he knows a lot about sea trade, but he also knows a rough idea, Yue Guo City Ship Division is just the beginning, most of the time is spent on shipbuilding, waiting for the ship to be launched, but also to be familiar with the sea routes, and then open up trade routes, these have to be at least two or three years, and when the City Ship Division can enter the account, it will be at least four or five years later, which is also the reason why Ling Han gave Yue Di five years of exemption, anyway, within five years, no one thought that Yue Di could have money to pay taxes.

Lu Zichuan said with a smile: "Let Lord Yin know, my father loves sailing by nature, and he is dedicated to studying, and the technology and craftsmen of shipbuilding are also left by his father, not only these, but my father also left a Qingwu that can ride the wind and waves, as well as the business road recorded by my father when he sailed, so as early as when the city was first built, the Qingwu has gone to sea, and the business road left by my father has gone back and forth, and Mrs. Yue Guo is also a very courageous woman. So two or three trips, the profit is quite rich, until the other ships are completed, the formation of a fleet, led by the Qingwu on the trade road back and forth, a trip down, the profit is enough to dozens of times, the twenty cars of gold, is the sea profit, Mrs. Yue Guo thanked His Majesty for his kindness, did not leave a penny, all as tribute to Xijing. ”

"The fleet went to sea and made such a profit......"

Han Cha was stunned, one trip to sea was enough to pay a year's tribute to three states and counties, so if there were more ships and a few more trips to the sea, the benefits in this were so great that even if his work in cultivating qi was outstanding, he couldn't help but be moved.

Lu Zichuan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Han Cha's expression, and immediately said: "It's just luck, the sea is very risky, and the new ship is going to sea, it was just a trial voyage, and the city department is ready to destroy the ship and kill people, and I don't want to return until it is fully loaded, and it is all safe." Luck has always been impermanent, this time it is very profitable, and it is very likely that there will be no return next time, so it is better for Lord Yin to be calm. ”

These words brought Han Cha back to his senses, and then thought about it when he was studying in Wu, he could hear rumors of shipwrecks at sea every year, and knew that Lu Zichuan's words were really good, he couldn't ignore the risks because of a huge profit, and there was a little bit of confusion here, Wu also had a sea trade, but he had never heard of such a huge profit, and the general profit could be around ten times that it was already amazing, this is still the country of Wu is rich in products, there are many commercial goods available for trade, but the land has always been barren, Even if it is Mrs. Yueguo's hard work, I am afraid that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Therefore, Han Cha thought about it for a while, and began to ask about the specific details, saying that Mrs. Yue Guo poured the power of the country, so how did she do it, how many commercial goods did the fleet bring with it when it went to sea, what kind of commercial goods did it take, who took care of the transaction on the trade route, and where the profits were exchanged for gold. You must know that it is precisely because of the scarcity of gold that gold is expensive and silver is cheap.

So this twenty carts of gold is also a suspicious point, could it be that there is a lot of gold on the sea?

Lu Zichuan was asked with Venus in his eyes, and he only felt as if a bowl of rice cereal had fallen on top of his head, which made his head full of confusion, and he was very embarrassed to say: "My lord, the lower officials are only in charge of shipbuilding and sea trials, and the specific maritime trade affairs are handled by Hu Taishou, if you want to know in detail, you can ask Hu Taishou for details." ”

Han Cha stretched out his hand and patted the corner of his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, this official is really confused, you are just a principal, where can you handle the affairs of the market." ”

As he spoke, he summoned someone in and ordered him to invite Hu Wenjing to come.

Lu Zichuan knew that Han Cha must have more questions to ask Hu Wenjing, and it was inconvenient for him to be around, so he took the initiative to leave. Han Cha had more important things to do at this time, so naturally he didn't keep him, and called someone to politely send him out of the house.

When I left the mansion, I happened to meet Hu Wenjing, this Taishou Lord actually came with the auxiliary officer who went to check the tribute, knowing that so many cars of gold would definitely alarm Lord Ling Yin, he must be able to see Lord Ling Yin with him, who knew that the auxiliary officer was shocked too much, completely forgot about him, no one led him, and Han Cha did not send out the words of summoning, he naturally couldn't enter the gate of Ling Yin's mansion, so he could only wait outside, and the person who just sent Lu Zichuan out was also the person who wanted to pass the word to Hu Wenjing, saved the man from going to the post house to run errands, so Hu Wenjing was summoned into Ling Yin's mansion before he had time to ask Lu Zichuan what he and Lord Ling Yin had said.

Lu Zichuan watched Hu Wenjing's back disappear into the gate of Ling Yin's Mansion, lowered his head and laughed, this Taishou Lord was a little too careful, but he was really capable, he was wondering if he wanted to recommend this capable man to Gu Fengyan, staying in Hai'an Prefecture, a little condescending.

This idea just started, and was dispelled by himself, now Hai'an Prefecture can be lively, and the oil and water are abundant, Hu Taishou is high-spirited, and may not be willing to leave, this time to escort the tribute, if it is not necessary to explain the details of the sea trade to the adults and the emperor in Xijing, Hu Taishou will not personally run this trip, after all, except for him, there is indeed no one else who can say clearly.

Of course, Lu Zichuan is actually clear, he grew up in the land of Sanlu since he was a child, and the land of Sanlu is only prosperous today by relying on the port, the doorway here, he knows better than anyone else, Hu Wenjing can only be regarded as a new hand in front of him, and even asks him for advice in private, but in terms of identity, Lu Zichuan is not suitable to be the principal, this credit can only be received by Hu Wenjing, and the limelight is also made by Hu Wenjing.

Right now, what Lu Zichuan wants to do most is to see Gu Fengxun. It's just that Gu Fengxun is in the palace, and he has no way to deliver the letter to the palace, so he can only sit and wait for Gu Fengxun to come and see him.

Of course, Gu Fengxun knew that Lu Zichuan had come to Xijing, but he was not in a hurry to see it, the acting Zongzheng Siqing, who had just taken office, was starting to clean up the influence left by Tao Zhenghua, and there were still some people suspected of being secrets, whether it was in the palace or in Zongzheng Temple, at least three rounds of purges would have to go through before people could rest assured, so he was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Zichuan, anyway, as long as he knew that this kid was safe and sound, and followed the tribute convoy from Yuedi to Xijing to take credit, and wait for him to be busy for a while to make time. Let's talk to this kid again.

But Ling Han was not as calm as Gu Fengxun, after knowing that Gu Fengxun was Qin Sikong, and Lu Zichuan was his little brother, Ling Han directly put Lu Zichuan within the scope of his own people, and even mentioned that he wanted to train Lu Zichuan as the heir, although he was vetoed by Gu Fengxun at that time, and only let Lu Zichuan experience in Hai'an Prefecture, but Ling Han's mind was not dispelled, even the King of Jin can be crowned king, why can't Lu Zichuan, although the King of Jin is relatively close in blood, but emotionally speaking, Ling Han was closer to Lu Zichuan.

It's just that Gu Fengxun hasn't said that he wants to see Lu Zichuan, Ling Han has no choice but to suppress that little bit of caution, and besides, he can't be too close to Lu Zichuan now, after all, he is already the Emperor of Western Chu, not the previous Ling Han, he can only send people to keep an eye on Lu Zichuan's movements, and after Han Cha met Lu Zichuan, Ling Han felt that the time had come, and when Han Cha reported to him about the tribute to Yue Di the next morning, he immediately issued an edict and ordered Lu Zichuan to go to Hongwen Pavilion to see him.

By the time Gu Fengxun knew about this, Lu Zichuan was already on his way to Hongwen Pavilion, and at this time, he couldn't persuade Ling Han not to take too much care of that kid, Lu Zichuan's temperament was a little floating after all, and he still didn't need polishing, and besides, Gu Fengxun also wanted to ask about the situation in Hai'anzhou, so he took a spare time and accompanied Ling Han to Hongwen Pavilion.

The time was just right, Lu Zichuan entered the side hall of Hongwen Pavilion with his front foot and waited for his life, and Ling Han and Gu Fengxun arrived on the back foot, so Lu Zichuan was summoned without even sitting on the chair.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Lu Zichuan's meticulous courtesy, although he has not been taught by the orthodoxy of the Meng people, but he was taught by the old Lu Hou, and the etiquette of the Lu Hou Mansion was originally learned from the Meng people, so no matter how much he jumps out in private, he can still do things on the scene.
