Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Things
Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Things
This resistance is too great.
However, they also found that it seems that foreign countries are easier to do.
Because if you kill people and set fires abroad, as long as you can settle the country where you are located, you are not afraid of making trouble below. But not in Daming. After the Ming Dynasty provoked a popular uprising, it was impossible to say that the imperial court wanted to borrow the head.
Everyone was thinking about their own affairs, immersed in the aftermath of the shock, and it hadn't come out yet. He Xi has arrived.
Someone shouted: "Lord He, the governor of Liaodong, has arrived." ”
He Xi was surrounded by everyone, came to the main seat, lifted the hem and sat up. All the people below saluted. He Xi waved his hand and said, "Sit." ”
The men immediately sat down.
He Xi said lightly, and seemed to be indifferent: "Originally, this matter is just for Yang Zhen to talk about." I am impatient to see you people. But this is a business matter, and Yang Zhen can't represent me. So I felt like meeting with you and making things clear. ”
He Xi attaches too much importance to this matter. This one thing is too much to do.
It's just that He Xi knows. This cannot be the case for these merchants. The closer he became, the more polite Corporal he became, the more uneasy these people became, the more apprehensive they became, and the more cranky they became. Instead, it can be bad.
For no other reason, Yang Zhen has always called himself a student in front of He Xi. is emphasizing his identity as a reader. This is because, in this era, only the scholar is valued, and the merchant is the inferior. He Xi treated Yang Zhen as a guest. That is, Yang Zhen has independent personal freedom. If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go. He Xi arranged Yang Zhen from the perspective of a modern professional manager. In a few years, Yang Zhen has a net worth of nearly 10,000 taels.
It can be said that he is already the working emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why under the leadership of Yang Zhen, Jinghai Firm is crisscrossing the shopping mall.
But these shopkeepers are different.
They were all house slaves.
And He Xi is equal to their master. When He Xi came to see them, he was still condescending. If it weren't for He Xi's special emphasis, the person in charge of the affairs would come. This time, all levels will send concubines or relatives over.
It's just that when He Xi sees these people, he can still say that it is a matter of the sea, and if he meets these core members, some things are difficult to say.
He Xi said: "I came to you for three main purposes. The first purpose. Boat. The Marquis of Yongchang fought against Japan. Japan is overseas and needs a large number of combat ships. I want to be recruited, but the court is decent and will not be in vain. You gave the boat. Since then, Goryeo and Japan have been unimpeded. If you don't give it, it's not interesting. Anyway, the opening of the sea by the imperial court doesn't seem to have talked about Goryeo, right? ”
"As for the number of ships, give them to yourselves. Sincerity is the most important thing. ”
As soon as He Xi said this, he said. The people below have suddenly made up their minds. In any case, there are always a few ships to repay the Marquis of Yongchang.
After all, these are all big businesses, and dozens of them together account for fifty or sixty percent of the maritime capacity. Each family's ships, no less than a hundred, and a few to serve are not a problem, let alone a few. Now the ships are not so nervous. The new ship is easy to get your hands on.
But the Japanese market is important.
In fact, many families have private dealings with Japan. But how much money can be made from this kind of faceless smuggling. If you want to earn more, you can only do this one thing openly.
Blue jade is in Goryeo, and it is inseparable for a while.
Maybe it's not too easy for him to get others to do something in this area. But it's a trivial matter to want anyone to be unable to do anything. Therefore, they have a request for blue jade, what is the value of a few boats?
Old ships aren't really worth much.
He Xi said: "You have also seen the second thing. After I came to Liaodong, Liaodong produced some things, but Liaodong was remote, and many things could not be sold. It's to ask everyone to come and see what they want. It can also be regarded as a host and guest. Everyone's free. For convenience, though. Forget it this time, and you need to order in advance next time. ”
Adhering to the principle that the more you value something, the more it is understated. He Xi didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and it seemed that he hadn't even decided who to talk to.
But everyone knows that it must be talking to Yang Zhen.
And what He Xi likes to get the most is the advance payment. It is used to support the situation in eastern Liaodong. He Xi prevaricated with a sentence that he needed to order in advance. He also didn't know if he would be able to implement the policies he wanted. However, in terms of details, it is not for him to discuss.
If he talks about it, it's a bad thing.
He Xi didn't wait for the people below to speak, and said: "The third thing is also an extraordinary thing. Liaodong is not abundant, there are many things, the number of ships in Liaodong is limited, and the government goes to other provinces to buy, which is also easy to shake people's hearts. Therefore, this matter is entrusted to you. Must arrive within three months. Let's talk about it specifically. However, the total number can be revealed," Speaking of this, He Xi paused slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and said lightly: "Two million taels." ”
In fact, where is He Xi still two million taels, it's just nonsense, these two million taels have been almost spent. You even have to embezzle the order money to use it.
It's just that the more he braws about it here, the more he seems to be wealthy, and the more he behaves indifferently. The more these people believe.
After all, the emperor loves his son-in-law, and the princess is a concubine. The first person to open the sea. There are too many ideas about making money. Such a person will be short of money. It's just a joke. People are casual tyrants who can come up with two million taels of silver.
This not only helps to establish the image of He Xi Tuhao, but also helps He Xi's conspiracy to deceive, no, advance the order price.
When He Xi talked about these things, he got up and said, "I'm busy with business, so I don't have to accompany him." ”
Immediately, He Xi didn't wait for any reaction from the people below. I had already gotten up and walked to the back. All the shopkeepers stood up and saluted, and said loudly, "Congratulations, sir." Then he lowered his head deeply. Don't look up.
For a while, I don't know who said it, and it's already gone.
These people got up one after another.
Before, they felt that Liaodong was profitable. Now they see that it is the Japanese market, and there is also procurement to make money.
To be honest, although Liaodong products are cheap, they are not irreplaceable. But the Japanese market seems to be an untapped virgin territory, and there is much room for imagination. It is possible to avoid the already fierce competition at sea.
As for procurement, it is the most profitable.
Although the Japanese market is profitable, it still needs to be developed, and I don't know how much effort it will take. Now there are 2 million taels of purchases in front of us.
Two million taels? It can be said that this is a purchase that these businessmen have not seen for most of their lives. There were many big moves in the Ming court, and the cost was more than two million taels. However, the Ming court was a small-scale peasant government system, and most of the materials he conscripted were directly collected from the people. It will not be bought with money at all, and even if it is bought with money, it is only a small part.
It can be seen how fragrant these two million taels are.
For a while, these people were like crazy people, and said to Yang Zhen: "Brother Yang, you give me some advice," "Brother Yang, you and I are brothers in life and death." ”
Yang Zhen's side was squeezed to the brim. It was difficult for Yang Zhen to even turn around.
Yang Zhen struggled and said: "Everyone, everyone, ,------" shouted many times in a row, and it was only after suppressing these noises that he said: "I don't know too much about this matter. No, I'll ask. ”
"Inquire about you?"
These people immediately said that this was long overdue. Make way for Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen soon came to the backyard in front of He Xi.
The place where He Xi is located is no more than a hundred meters away from this courtyard in a straight line, and He Xi has no intention of dealing with other affairs at this moment, he is just waiting for news, and not only He Xi is waiting, Yao Guangxiao, Huang Zicheng, Yang Shiqi, etc., except for Ye Wang, most people are waiting.
This is related to whether He Xi's adventurous plan can succeed.
After Yang Zhen came over, what he saw was the collective gaze of the high-level leaders in Liaodong. Yang Zhen was startled, but when he saw Huang Zicheng, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart for a while. They are all prisoners of the country, but after a few years, there is a world of difference.
