Chapter 12: Genyosha

He Xi frowned slightly when he heard Lan Yu's request. It's tricky to find this thing going. I didn't know where to start for a while.

However, there was one thing that Lanyu got right.

Because so many ships were summoned. Only He Xi has this ability.

It's not that He Xi has so many ships. Although the Jinghai merchant built ships on a large scale. At any cost to build wooden ships that can only last a few years, a dozen years. to strengthen capacity. But the ability of a business name is definitely not comparable to that of the imperial court.

It can be said that the current situation is that since the opening of the sea, the civil maritime capacity of the Ming Dynasty has surged. It has exceeded more than 100,000 tons of maritime capacity. But the sea fleet. It is still the largest transport fleet on the Daming Sea. It was even the largest transport fleet in the whole time at that time.

It is true that the civilian maritime transport capacity has long surpassed the maritime fleet. But that's the sum of things. It's not something that one company can do.

He Xi was the first to advocate opening the sea, and there are many characters behind this, all of whom have benefited from He Xi. In addition, the Jinghai business is the earliest business name. Later, when each family went to the sea, they did not dig people from the Jinghai business. Of course. This year to dig people. It's not as simple as changing jobs in later generations. These powerful people are gone, and the people below want to jump ship, take care of you, jump ship with the front foot, and jump into the sea with a big stone tied to the back foot.

Therefore, they all greeted He Xi or Princess Anqing. Flattering.

Therefore, now He Xi can afford to draw some ships from various firms. It's here to do this.

However, He Xi also found an opportunity from it.

He Xi suddenly said: "Master Hou, have you gained a lot in Goryeo during this period of time?" ”

Lan Yu said: "Brother He, what do you mean by this, this is a state affair. You're also in charge of the logistics of the big war. I can't do it, ask me for money, it's too cheap. ”

He Xi said; "Nope. Brother Lan, I can certainly do this for you. But I stepped in. It's just a matter of recruiting ships from the people. When the time comes, the court will still pay. It's just that these boats, Hou Ye used them well? ”

Lan Yu seemed to hear some signs. said: "Brother He, tell me more." ”

He Xi said: "What kind of people can negotiate business at sea now. Master Hou and I are very clear. With the authority of the marquis, he directly deducted the person. Didn't dare to say anything either. It's just that there aren't necessarily too many sinners at once. ”

"And it's a mixed bag. Isn't Hou Ye really afraid that someone will do it? ”

Lan Yu also fell into deep thought.

There is also a struggle among the nobles. Today's maritime merchants are the projection of noble forces on the sea. But Lan Yu can also be regarded as a figure with a head and a face among the nobles. The reason why He Xi was invited to do this thing was because Lan Yu missed the climax of opening the sea and did not take the lead in this. On the other hand, Lan Yu is not without offending people. Lan Yu came forward, and there may not be other side effects.

Lan Yu said, "What is He Xi's opinion? ”

He Xi said: "The South Seas are oceans, and the East is also oceans. War is temporary, business is long-lasting. Now that Hou Ye has such a great convenience, why not start a business. Running a business in the East. In the future, Japan will be defeated. The status of this firm, like the status of the Lu family in Nanyang, cannot be shaken. Isn't it beautiful? ”

Lan Yu said, "Is this really possible? ”

He Xi said: "If you have money, you can do it." Hou Ye didn't just get a windfall. It's very eye-catching. ”

It is an open secret that Lanyu looted the money of the Goryeo family in Goryeo.

Lan Yu said, "Then what should I do?" ”

He Xi said: "Learn from Lu Hou, first give the army a hand." This thing of transportation is not just right. I'll take care of the ship's business. At that time, there were a number of ships on the Jinghai Merchants, which were not made of dry wood, and their lifespan was only more than ten years. It's been a few years now. Only half of the life expectancy is left. If Hou Ye wants, I will find Hou Ye. It's cheaper than all the ships on the market, and it's a ready-made one. It's ready for immediate use. ”

Lan Yu frowned and said, "What's the use of me asking for such boats?" ”

He Xi said: "It's useful, time waits for no one." With these ships, immediately there was a trade name structure. Handle the spoils of war with the army. The profit in this, Hou Ye should understand better than me. As for the future. Now there are a lot of big trees in Liaodong. As long as Hou Ye dares to make a cost. I'll build you a shipyard in Arthur right away. Within three years, the ship was launched like dumplings, and when the time comes, are you still worried that there will be no boat? ”

Lan Yu said; "Good. Brother He lifted me, how could I not agree, but the younger brother had a reluctant request. ”

He Xi was secretly happy in his heart. This can be regarded as the first investment. How much can a shipyard use? He Xi didn't count it, but the money in his pocket was at his disposal. How he uses it, Lan Yu can't control it. Of course, three years later, he will be given a shipyard.

He Xi didn't feel that he couldn't do it.

Now every extra point of cash flow will reduce He Xi's pressure.

As for other conditions, other concessions, he will give in if he can give in. He doesn't care about some petty profits. If it weren't for it, he would be in a difficult situation now. It won't be enough to be a dog-headed military advisor to Lan Yu.

He Xi said: "Hou Ye said. I will never shirk in the next. ”

Lan Yu said: "I don't know much about things at sea. But Brother He is an expert, and I earn this business by myself. Naturally, it can't be. There are a few people below, and they also want to divide some, and then there are those who want Brother He Immortal to show the way. Please also ask He Xi to discuss and join the last share. I'm also at ease. You are not at ease. ”

He Xi saw that Lan Yu had said this. He laughed and said, "Master Hou doesn't know, I don't have any money, and the family's money is in the hands of the princess." ”

Lan Yu said: "How can you let Brother He pay." Brother He's idea is worth 100,000 taels. ”

He Xi said: "False praise. But I'm just a part of it. ”

After Lan Yu and He Xi made up their minds, they still discussed the details. Sapphire is most concerned about time.

He Xi pondered for a while. He said, "Even if I deliver the message now." It's also this summer when preparations are really underway. ”

Lan Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "It's a little slow. ”

He Xi said: "Slow is slow." It's good to slow down. Why does Hou Ye want to return to the dynasty so much? ”

Hearing this, Lan Yu sighed lightly and said, "Yes." Your Majesty didn't mean to clean us up, so I honestly stayed here and didn't go back. Slow down, slow down. ”

It is a person who can see the turbulent waves behind the Qingzhang case. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also made a lot of preparations before doing things, and those in the heart of the heart are all Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants. And those armies that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't trust were all distributed in the border areas and restrained each other. Immovable.

Don't look at it, He Xi and Lan Yu have a good conversation. But in fact, He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's person. Lan Yu is the prince's man. The undercurrent between Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown prince is known only to their father and son. The following people have this superficial effort. Once Zhu Yuanzhang wants to abolish the crown prince, maybe it will be He Xi who takes the head of blue jade.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't want Xungui to get involved, and the main attack was on the family that was passed down from generation to generation. And not the nouveau riche of Xungui. So send them away.

Lan Yu then asked He Xi what the name of this business was.

He Xi's heart moved, and said: "If you have it, it's called Xuanyang Society." ”

"Good name. The mysterious one is black, the north of the Quartet is black, and the Xuanyang is also the northern ocean. Lan Yu said: "The name of Beiyang is too straightforward, not subtle enough, not as wonderful as Xuanyang." Yes, that's the name. ”

He Xi only thinks of the other way, and gives back to the other. At that time, Japan used the Xuanyang Society as the vanguard of its invasion of China, and now this Xuanyang Society is essentially a military colonial organization. He Xi used it. But I don't know the name, and this meaning.

In fact, the Japanese named it Hyunyang because there was a section of the ocean between Japan and Goryeo that was named after it. And not Sapphire's explanation.

Lan Yu said, "Brother He, what is the matter with you. Will I help? ”

He Xi had a friendly conversation before, and He Xi felt that the atmosphere was enough. said: "I'm actually here to borrow money. ”

Lan Yu said: "Why is 100,000 taels not enough to spend?" ”

He Xi smiled silently, stretched out two fingers, and said, "I want this number." ”

"Two hundred thousand taels? Bagatelle. Sapphire didn't care.

"Nope." He Xi said: "It's two million taels." ”
