"It depends on how much money you have, what about the ships? Do you have? No boat is for nothing. ”

"It takes too long to build a ship, and you can rent a boat. Official ships often go to sea, so before building ships, official ships should be able to be rented, right? ”

Zong Zeming had already planned it before, how could he let it go if maritime trade was so profitable?

Acacia saw that Zong Zeming was no longer peeling, so he immediately pushed the back of his hand with his claws.

Zong Zeming took the opportunity to scratch Acacia's back, and when he saw that it was not as resistant as before, the corners of his lips curved.

This little thing seems to have become accustomed to his presence.

Su Yizhao didn't expect that the other party and himself were the same plan, "The official ship is not so easy to rent." ”

"Naturally! But don't worry about this, it's just a loss of more money! It's just this place, are you sure? How about I have two million taels of silver in my hand? Qualified to work with you, right? ”

Zong Zeming was confident, and he felt that Su Yizhao would definitely be tempted.

A large merchant ship that does not carry millions of taels of cargo at a time is not cost-effective at all.

So much? Su Yizhao was very surprised, it seems that the palace is really rich.

After counting the silver in his hand, there were only seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver in total, and the previous silver was used to turn around and open a shop.

By next year's sea market, it seems that I have to hurry up and prepare more silver.

"We definitely won't need a ship, we have to find a reliable person to work with, do you have a candidate?"

Zong Zeming pondered for a moment, "If you mean that the silver is not enough, I can still make up about a million taels." ”

Su Yizhao looked up at him in shock, "You don't want to put all your family resources into it, right?" ”

"You have to know that the sea market is not a sure way to make money or lose money, and it is very risky." Su Yizhao had to remind that he could be regarded as a partner anyway.

"Of course I know, it is impossible to put all the money in it, don't worry! It is impossible to break the muscles and bones. ”

Zong Zeming's eyes softened, is this concerned about me?

Su Yizhao was silent for a long time, "The palace is really rich, and the treasury has been tight in recent years!" ”

Zong Zeming snorted coldly, "This is my own silver, I have private property, and border trade has always been the most profitable silver." Today, I am timid, and I am not afraid of the change of color in the talk of the border and the market. ”

Su Yizhao was thrilled, the little silver in his hand was not enough. If there are many border trade routes, by next year's sea market, not to mention more, make up 1.2 million taels, and there will still be some surplus, right?

"What do you do for a living?" Su Yizhao asked.

Zong Zeming smiled, he knew that Su Yizhao would be moved.

"Whatever comes quickly with money, sell it. In those small countries outside the border, there are more nomadic peoples. They lack everything, tea, grain, medicinal herbs, paper, furs, etc., except for iron and weapons, which do not trade with them, and what I say can make money. ”

Su Yizhao pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a livelihood.

"They must be short of food, right? For example, fruits and vegetables? ”

Zong Zeming nodded, "Naturally! So they are very hungry for grain and tea, do you also want to trade at the border? I've got a way, but I can help you. But if you want to sell tea and grain, it's a bit of a hassle. ”…

Seeing that Su Yizhao was silent, Zong Zeming continued: "Grain can be sold, but the volume is too large and it is not very convenient to transport. If you want to sell tea, I can give you some shares. But if you want to sell vegetables, it's definitely not possible. ”

"Vegetables can't be stored for too long, and they will spoil if they are delayed for a few days. And transactions with customs outside the customs are often delayed for a few days, or even more than ten days. If it's broken, they won't want it anymore. ”

Zong Zeming will also transport vegetables and vegetables, but he does this business because he has a field at the border pass, and it is easy to pick vegetables and vegetables.

Su Yizhao immediately nodded, "I naturally know, but what I want to sell is not vegetables, but dried vegetables." ”

"Dried vegetables?" Zong Zeming didn't know why.

"Do you mean that the vegetables are dried and then transported? But in this way, the vegetables have no water, just like old pickles, and they will not buy it. ”

Zong Zeming disagrees, can you still eat wilted vegetables?

"Of course, it can't just be dried, such vegetables are completely inedible. I'm going to dry it completely out of water, and soak it in water when it's time to eat it, so that although the taste is worse than the usual vegetables, it can solve the dilemma of them not having vegetables. ”

Su Yizhao felt that although this method was troublesome, it should be possible to sell it to the border gate.

"In fact, the principle is the same as roasting tea, they can accept tea, they can accept dried vegetables. What's more, there are many varieties of dried vegetables and many choices, isn't it just right to change to fresh? In terms of price, it is cheaper than those good teas, and it should not be sold. ”

It's already summer, and there are a lot of vegetables in the field. Those cabbages, potatoes, beans, etc., can be made into dry.

Zong Zeming nodded, "If that's the case, it's okay." It's just that you have to take good care of this technology, if it can't be kept for a long time, it's a loss-making business. ”

Su Yizhao nodded, "Harvest a batch of vegetables first and make them, experiment with them, and make them on a large scale if feasible." ”

After the two reached a cooperation on this issue, Su Yizhao suddenly thought of the gold ore that Su Wenqing just said.

Su Wenqing just mentioned that it can be sent to the border for trading, and there must be something to say about it.

"Do you know that there are people at the border who are secretly trading gold and silver? I heard rumors that gold and silver ore had been stolen and then smuggled into gold and silver and transported to the border to be traded. ”

Zong Zeming frowned suddenly, "Gold and silver ores are all controlled by the imperial court, and someone actually steals the ore and sells it privately?" ”

His heart moved, Su Yizhao couldn't mention this for no reason, could it be that someone sold gold and silver ore to her?

"There are now two mines in the imperial court, one of which is smaller, in Dexuan Mansion. There is also a large mine, in the province of Shunan. ”

"Shunnan Mansion?" Su Yizhao suddenly thought that the Shunan Mansion was close to the Shuyu Pass.

"It's all gold, where did you get the news?"

"It's my father, and someone sells gold ore to him. But whether it's true or not, I don't know yet. I've got some news, and I'll wait until tomorrow to find out. ”

Su Yizhao pondered the movement of the DPRK and China, and the gold mines in Dexuan Province have always been in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

It's a small mine, which has been mined for more than two years, and now the resources are about to be exhausted.

There is also a large mine that has only been mined for more than a year, and it is close to the border pass, so there must be a lot of resources.

And the gold mine in Shunan Mansion has been transferred to him since the crown prince received the errand this year.

"No wonder the prince recently returned to Beijing, I'm afraid something went wrong."

Zong Zeming knew everything about the movements of the court, originally he thought it was the queen's birthday, but was it because of this?

I have to say that the two thought of it at the same time.

Su Yizhao and Zong Zeming glanced at each other, and it seemed that the situation between the DPRK and China would change.
