Qi Youshan suddenly howled and cried: "Lord Wang! Despicable, lowly, too many people have died, they should all come back alive, but they are despicable and incompetent!"

"Life and death, life and fortune are in the sky, there are mountains, it is not your fault. If there is a big reward for going to sea, then there is a big danger. Storms, pirates, reefs, tsunamis, whales... Either can wipe out a fleet. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, there are mountains, you can bring back the fleet, you will have a great achievement!"

"Lord Wang!" Qi Youshan couldn't cry, trembling all over, and couldn't speak anymore. The faces of those nobles, businessmen and others who came to greet them changed greatly, and they kept looking at the two of them.

Zhu Shanqing turned back sharply: "Looking for death? Get out of here! How many heads do you have that disturbed the prince?"

Hua Houwei turned his head, looked at the stewards who hurriedly retreated, and shook his head: "Don't worry, old Qi, report loudly!" After saying that, he thought of something, and whispered to Qi Youshan, "Two books, right?"

Qi Youshan smiled awkwardly: "Yes!"

"It's okay, let's talk about it when it's over, let's make those families happy first!"

"Yes! This trip to sea always brought back a million taels of gold, and all kinds of treasures are about 500,000 taels of gold, and there are."

"That's it! That's it."

The restless crowd behind quieted down, and the whole swallow was silent. Those stewards representing vassal kings, nobles, and merchants were constantly calculating, and after half an hour, boom! Blow up the nest!

Great harvest! A great harvest for all participants! This time the sea is only tentative, and the investment in equity is not large. The route needs to be re-revised, and the forces of all parties along the way also have to re-deal with the determination of taxes, and the income is five or six times the cost, which is more than ten times, but it is dozens of times more than expected!

"Lord! When is the next time we start trading?"

"Lord Wang, the small owner is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, can you increase investment?"

"Lord Wang, the small one is the steward of the Salt Merchant Guild, and there is still a vacancy in the share capital of the Duanmu Relic Firm, can the Salt Merchant Guild buy it at a high price?"

"Lord Wang, you are from Nanjing, can the Textile Association increase investment?"

"The Prince"

"The Prince"

Zhu Shanqing yelled: "Stand back! Stand back!" The crowd was driven away by the palace guards, but the sound of families gathering still rolled in.

"Whoever makes trouble again will be disqualified from ocean commerce!" Wang Feng grabbed the tin horn and roared loudly, the crowd dispersed instantly, and the stewards of all the families who were still red-faced just now turned into humble gentlemen.

Hua Houwei shook his head, these bastards who see money and open their eyes. He kicked Qi Youshan: "Old Qi, what are you waiting for? Blind their eyes!"

This is a strategy that has been discussed for a long time, show off your wealth, show off to death, put on as much pomp as you can, and have only one requirement, you must blind their eyes! Ocean trade is the most important part of Huahou Wei's plan, and it is an impossible and indispensable link. Industry can not develop, firearms can not be advanced, financial industry can not be without, but ocean trade must have!

The Ming Dynasty fell in the hands of Chongzhen, and the reasons are varied. But in Hua Houwei's view, there are two things, the emperor is not in power, and he can't control the political situation and the army, and the deep-seated reason is that there is a big problem with the organizational structure of the Ming Dynasty. In the final analysis, these two items are the Ming economy or the natural economy, and the commodities are only circulating internally, lacking the external driving force. Then only by opening the sea, only ocean-going trade, can break this suffocating deadlock.

Therefore, Hua Houwei must tempt those in power with bright and blind gold, so that they can become pioneers in overseas trade and become the main force in exploring the world. Only they have the ability to do this, so that Hua Houwei will have a strong ally politically. The next measures can be carried out, and the industry can get a real engine. In the past, China did not have a well-developed handicraft industry, and if there was a vast market, it also had the opportunity to develop into a real industry. But where does the market come from? There were no bloody conquests, and in the poor realities of transportation in ancient times, there was only ocean-going trade.

The ships that shot the Japanese had obviously been repaired, but they were still full of vicissitudes. The barnacles and holes of various sizes on the planks of old and new ships indicate that the ships have traveled a long way.

"Golden Dragon Merchant

250,000 taels of pure gold were recovered, and the treasure was valued at 400,000 taels of pure gold!"

One by one, the large wooden boxes of rosewood were lifted off the boat by the gantry crane, lined up on the pier, and all the lids were opened, and the sky-high gold and jewels made people subconsciously hold their breath. The vice president of the old Jin firm led a group of stewards to inspect them one by one, with an irrepressible smile on his face.

"Zesheng Company recovered the purchase price of 180,000 taels of pure gold, and the treasure was valued at 130,000 taels of pure gold!"

Hubu Shangshu Hanwen ran to Nanjing in person, didn't even drink saliva, took the waiter and a group of staff wailang, and waited in Yanziji for a long time. Hearing the call of Zesheng Firm, with a wave of his hand, the waiter and the waiter rushed to the wooden box that was hanged down. Then he shook his head regretfully: "Lord Wang, the lower official regretted it, he knew that the income was so huge, so he would have added more capital."

Hua Hou Wei laughed: "You deserve it! Who told you not to believe in this king? Lord Han, how much is your share capital in Duanmu Relic Firm?"

Han Wen looked proudly at the boat on the Yangtze River that could not be seen at a glance: "Xiaguan should be the one with the most share capital among the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"Haha, it's worthy of the book of the head of the household! High! You're so visionary!"

Han Wen smiled: "Lord Wang, do you mean that the lower officials look at you?"

Hua Houwei nodded with a smile: "Mmmm, that's what it means!" This king is a lighthouse above the sea, and no amount of wind and waves can hide the glory of this king! Haha, it's good that Lord Han knows, don't say it, this king is not used to putting his excellence in front of ten people!"

Han Wen's eyes bulged out suddenly, pointing at Hua Houwei, and coughed again and again after a while: "Prince, cough, prince, Xiaguan is old, cough cough, aren't you afraid of laughing Xiaguan to death?"

Hua Houwei blinked and smiled slyly, "Yes? I'm a man who likes to tell the truth. Don't worry too much about it, the days will be long in the future, if this happens again, the household department will lose a lot?"

Han Wen laughed: "Old man, I don't know how many years I can do, thank Wang Ye Jiyan."

The two unknowingly completed the cooperation agreement while talking and laughing, and as long as Han Wen is still in the position of the head of the household, he will always support Hua Houwei. Hua Houwei knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, although Hanwen was not a conservative, it was not on his side. To be able to make such a promise now is out of a public spirit, and at the same time, it is also saying that as long as Hua Houwei has always been like this, his faction will always support Hua Houwei.

The huge display of wealth lasted for three days, and Hua Houwei only showed up on the first day. He was more concerned about why the fleet had been delayed for so long, and what had happened along the way.

Qi Youshan came to King Wu's mansion with a few people, and Hua Houwei had been waiting for a long time. Wang Feng and Liu Jian were all present, and Wang Yangming was sitting next to Hua Houwei, constantly talking to Hua Houwei.

"Lord, after our merchant ship passed through Malacca, it was attacked by the Safavid Kingdom of Persia, so what else is there to say? Just him! The brethren directly killed one of their fleets, all of which were old ships, and the cannons were inferior to those of the Aragonese, which was nothing. The prince ordered not to sell goods there, and the Japanese army took the caravan over there."

Hua Houwei nodded: "These bastards are all second-class dealers, where did they get a huge profit from selling them? What a loss! Well done! But gunpowder and cannonballs are money, so you kid didn't trade at a loss, did you?"

Qi Youshan smiled awkwardly: "How can it? With the teachings of the prince, we don't dare. It's just that I grabbed a handful in that havali, and I didn't get much. Well, it's not much."

Hua Houwei smiled, knowing that this was another account, and he didn't ask but asked about this Safavid State: "This Persian Safavid State, well, how is the military strength? Where do you occupy it?"

Qi Youshan shook his head: "I didn't think about it so much, but I got a lot of books back. What is the name of this emperor of Persia, Ismaili? Not a good name anyway. The humble position is to inquire at random that the Persian state has a bad relationship with the Esman state in the west, and there is also a Mamluk state, where the three kingdoms compete for hegemony. Oh, what kind of Mughal is Tianzhu now, the name of Fanbang is too winding, and I can't remember it."

Hua Houwei did not reprimand Qi Youshan, but said in a daze: "Turkey is also here, and the Mamluks have not been destroyed, what the hell is this Safavid?"

Liu Jian looked at Hua Houwei, who was distracted, and shook his head. He can't understand this teenager more and more now, it seems that he was born to know, right? But I don't know a lot of things. Say you don't know, just say something, and he will have a reaction beyond ordinary people, as if he already knew. "Ahem, Qi Youshan, continue, the prince is often like this, you don't have to worry about it."

Qi Youshan continued: "After the Persian kingdom, it is the Mamluk kingdom and the Irman kingdom. In what Arabian Isle of Mascot and Risman fought fiercely!"

Hua Houwei suddenly stretched out his hand: "Sea chart! Tell me more."

A simple chart was spread out on the table, and Qi Youshan's fingers kept sliding along the coast of the mainland. Hua Houwei suddenly realized, isn't it the Strait of Hormuz on the Arabian Peninsula? Yes, Ottoman Turkey was on the rise, around this time. Ma Dan, Lao Tzu's history class grades are really bad, and I don't remember what happened in this paragraph at all.

"Lord Wang, Esman's warship is not good, but this soldier is still very fierce. As soon as the Japanese army started the war, we killed three of those big ships, but I didn't expect to stab the hornet's nest, and those people rushed up like Lao Tzu digging his ancestral grave."

"Wait, their weapons don't have any features?"

"Yes! Lord Wang, this Esman's warship always sprays that kind of black oil, and when it is fired, the rocket burns a large area. This black oil is extremely viscous, and it can't be extinguished by water, which is a headache for the lowly job!"
