Zhang Jingyi actually knew for a long time that the third uncle he had just recognized was a person who hid many secrets.

And I don't know how many secrets, they are going to rot in his stomach.

But now, Zhang San told him that there was a confidential matter.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi knew that if he hadn't become his nephew, he would never have said it.

So Zhang Jingyi's face became a little more serious, and said, "Please teach the third uncle." ”

Zhang San said directly: "On the front line of Guanning, there are a large number of people who have correspondence with Huang Taiji, do you know these things?" ”

Zhang Jing nodded and said: "We have arrested Li Yongfang, the chief military officer of Jiannu, and he has confessed to some people on his side, so he knows something about this." ”

Zhang San immediately stared at Zhang Jingyi: "Then do you know that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, also has a lot of correspondence with Huang Taiji and has close contacts?" ”

Zhang Jingyi frowned and said, "For this, Li Yongfang's side didn't ask anything ......."

Zhang San sneered: "Li Yongfang, after all, is just a dog of the Jiannu people, the dog is used to call, but if it is a really confidential matter, how can this dog know?" ”

Zhang Jing suddenly remembered that Yuan Chonghuan did have correspondence with Huang Taiji in history, but in the historical circles, everyone's evaluation is different, some people think that Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor, but some people think that this is Yuan Chonghuan's means to stabilize the Jiannu people and let the Jiannu people not attack Guanning.

Of course, Mao Wenlong will also write letters with Huang Taiji.

It's just that the difference between the two is that when Mao Wenlong writes a letter, he will immediately report it to the court, and then invite him to come to the court and say, you see...... I played Huang Taiji again.

Yuan Chonghuan was different, many of his letters were exchanged, but he did not make much noise, and he did not greet the court in advance.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't understand whether Yuan Chonghuan was too confident and felt that he had been completely trusted by the imperial court, or was it simply because of Yuan Chonghuan's personality...... Relatively reckless.

Zhang Jingyi was surprised and said, "How can the third uncle know about these things?" ”

Zhang San smiled and said: "This vast sea is a place to hide dirt and dirt, whether it is the Jiannu people, or the Ming people, or the Japanese people, but if they can't live on land, they have to go to the sea to make a living." Some people ...... They know some secrets, but those who have mastered the secrets will inevitably have a hard time keeping their fortunes, so what can they do except go to the sea? ”

Boy...... Originally...... In this era, there have already been officials who have fled.

Zhang San continued: "The people on the sea are different from the people on the land, and the people on the inland ...... There are national hatreds and family hatreds, but people at sea only have conflicts of interest, and no one will ask each other about the past. So in Beihai, whether it is the convicted Jiannu people, Korean people, Liaodong people, everything, your third uncle can always hear some interesting things at sea. ”

Zhang Jingyi said: "Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji have correspondence, but it may not prove that he fornicated with the Jiannu people. ”

Zhang San said: "But it can't be proved that he didn't collaborate with the enemy." ”

Zhang Jing was speechless for a while.

Zhang San continued: "And the governor of Liaodong, what an important position, can the imperial court bear this risk? What's more, inside this Guan Ning Army, with all due respect, it has long been rotten...... Many people from Guan Ningjun couldn't stand it, so they went to the sea one after another......"

"In my fleet, there are thirty percent of Guan Ningjun who went to sea alone, you are now Jinyiwei, these things, my uncle has already told you, you think about it yourself, if you think it is useful, follow this clue to check, if you feel useless, of course, you can also choose to turn a blind eye. Okay, my uncle is leaving, by the way, do you have any silver, lend me some. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

Zhang San smiled and said: "Tomorrow I will secretly go to meet the nine thousand years old, on the way to the capital, my uncle has secretly made an appointment with him, originally I only had a few hundred taels of silver left on hand, I thought that these few hundred taels of silver should be enough, but now I think about it, now it is different, now the burden on my uncle's shoulders is very heavy, I still have to give our Zhang family a little more effort, I want to send more." ”

Zhang Jing cried and laughed and said, "Uncle, is this really giving himself a gift to the poor?" ”

Zhang San smiled: "Money is something outside the body, if you don't give it away, it will become the source of the disaster if you leave it in your hands." You must think that I am too stammered by the 9,000-year-old. You're not settling your accounts. You see this is all over the world, cabinet scholars, you want to give gifts, they are still proud of themselves, it is difficult to find a way. But if you blindly dedicate yourself to the emperor, this emperor has a high vision, and he can't look down on ordinary things, and your third uncle has taken out all his family resources, but it is just a few good words for the emperor. Only our father-in-law Wei is simply a gift from God to your third uncle. ”

Zhang Jingyi: "......"

Zhang Sandao: "Think about it, Father-in-law Wei, a person who has no discipline and has no belt tied to his bare feet, is not as reserved as those ministers, and he has to think of various names when giving a gift, and he does not refuse to come, he asks for 10,000 taels, and he is happy to give 100,000 taels." What's more, this kind of eunuch may not really covet your courtesy, but he is just a lifeless and suspicious, and everyone who sees him feels as if others have no respect in their hearts, and they all feel that this person must be laughing at him behind his back. Therefore, what Father-in-law Wei needs most is the sincere respect of others. Uncle doesn't need to spend much money, so if he respects him, he can coax him to close his mouth, and when he has benefits, he will be able to think of you. The money spent can be earned back a thousand times in less than a year. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before he said, "Tell me, is such a good deal comparable to those private merchants on the sea?" This is a huge profit, if I don't do this business, my ancestors will scold me if they have spirits in heaven. ”

Zhang Jing couldn't help laughing, their Zhang family came all the way down, they were all honest people, but they didn't expect that when they came to the third uncle, they directly mutated their genes.

So Zhang Jing said: "This is easy to say, the third uncle can rest assured, the money is wrapped in me, and in a few days, I will have someone secretly send 180,000 taels of silver to you." ”

Zhang San was not polite, and nodded: "Let's go, find a chance to get together again in the future." ”

said, and said to Zhang Tianlun: "Tianlun, my nephew, you are not smart, so you don't care about the affairs of the family, let Jing Yi deal with it, Jing Yi is a very smart person, he does everything in a measured manner." ”

Zhang Tianlun's face suddenly looked bad, and he opened his mouth to say something.

Zhang San's eyes widened immediately: "If you are disobedient, I will be an uncle, and I will whip you." ”

Zhang Tianlun: "......"

Regarding the matter of Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun, since he heard this information today, Zhang Jingyi still paid attention.

However, deep down in his heart, he still didn't connect Yuan Chonghuan with the enemy, and he just felt that Yuan Chonghuan was a bit reckless.

At this time, the mighty 'pirate' ladies arrived in the capital one after another, and Zhang Jingyi's side had already ordered people to prepare in advance.

At this time, a large number of houses have been prepared in the Happy Home to make a safe settlement for these families.

A few days later, Zhang San wrote to the Emperor of the Apocalypse to prepare for the company's charter.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse approved almost all the articles of association based on the East India Company. The Tianjin Wei Port is used as a base to allow the company to purchase special products in the interior, and the company's ships are also allowed to unload and sell the special products of the Japanese country, Western countries and Europe at the port.

At the same time, it was clearly stipulated that the company could adopt a more flexible diplomatic strategy against the feudal domains outside the Ming Dynasty, and also allowed the company to recruit certain mercenaries and sailors.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingyi began to purchase a large number of materials.

Zhang Jingyi has an understanding of this, and the overseas demand for silk and porcelain has always been particularly large, whether it is Europe, Japan or Western countries, they are also proud to be able to buy silk and porcelain.

Therefore, this first batch of goods is to send the goods of seven ships to Malacca for sale, and then buy local specialties from Malacca and transport them back to Daming.

The reason why he chose Malacca for the first trip was also carefully selected by Zhang San.

Today, Malacca has become a distribution center for maritime transportation from all over the world.

Whether it is a ship from Europe or a ship entering India from the Daming Sea, it often needs to pass through this place, where a large number of merchants have already gathered, and once they arrive, they can be sold immediately.

Of course...... This is just a small test, sent to Malacca, after all, the cheaper is only the middleman who makes the difference, and the company's purpose is to directly control several major shipping routes in the future.

In Zhang San's charter, it is specifically mentioned that sea trade is not profitable.

Because the sea trade requires a large number of ships and supplies, and many candidates are needed, the risks in the sea are also huge...... In fact, it's not high, to put it bluntly, it's just life money.

The East India Company was able to make a fortune not because of its maritime trade, but because of ...... It has a monopoly on shipping routes.

In the final analysis, monopoly is what ensures the flow of money.

If Daming's company does not pursue monopoly, but only relies on sea trade to earn some small profits, this is to sacrifice the basics.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was deeply impressed by this recital.

As a result, the Ming East India Company was formally established, and the first fleet officially left the port after purchasing a large number of goods.

A group of ragged sailors boarded the ship and hoisted the sails under the gaze of countless curious eyes.

At this time, the vast majority of people were still contemptuous of these sailors who were about to go away.

In their opinion, these sailors can be said to be worse than the military households, although the military households are miserable enough, but they are still on land, and they board the ship, say goodbye to the mainland, and do not know when and when they will return home, it is really precarious, and people are not as good as dogs.
