Chapter 143: Barrenness is relative

If Wang Siqi doesn't know about other things, he can't be sure...

But when it comes to going to the West, Wang Siqi properly understands the huge business opportunities behind it.

It can be said that the West ..

Most of the cover has faded, just waiting for the door to kick up the third base, but Da Ming is stubborn like a. Wang Sanbao is average.

Can't get up, can't get in.

I don't know and think it's dysfunction, but only Wang Siqi knows that behind this is the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and the top-down subjective belief that the world except for the Ming Dynasty is barbarian, and their own products are rich, and they don't look down on those things in the outside world.

It's just that only Da Ming thinks like this.

So in fact, going back a long time, why are there always waves of pirates in the South Seas, and even disputes continue.

But there are always internal problems, not nakedly by another group of red-haired ghosts who cross the ocean to take advantage.

That's because in the eyes of Daming, Nanyang is already in his bag.

It was all his own adopted son.

Who dares to move?

No one dares ..

After all, no one dared to provoke such a behemoth standing in the East, but later...

Leave it at that.

Wang Siqi rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "It's still early, don't worry about this time and a half, Wang Gonggong will taste my cooking skills here in my Baoyuan Bureau today, and I will talk to Wang Gonggong in detail about it in a different place later." ”

Although I don't know why I want to talk about it in another place.

But Wang Sanbao has already set off an uproar in his heart, just because of Wang Siqi's temptation just now... What does this kid mean by renting all the space in the fleet for money? This shows that Nanyang will definitely be able to make money.

Wang Siqi is different from the imperial court, if you want him to go to sea, then there can only be one thing, and that is profitable.

Otherwise, would he be bored?

Thinking of this, Wang Sanbao was even more curious about what Wang Siqi was going to say next...

Wang Sanbao, who nodded, was not too anxious, and it was not his turn to serve the emperor in the palace, and the next period of time was still the top priority to prepare for the next trip to Nanyang, and besides, it was also the emperor's arrangement to come to the Baoyuan Bureau.

If he returned to the palace, the emperor asked what he had learned in the Baoyuan Bureau.

I don't know anything when I open my mouth.. It's just that Wang Siqi said that if he was willing to spend money to rent all the vacant seats on the ship, I was afraid that he would be drowned directly by Zhu Di's saliva.

"That.. Our family will listen to your Lord Wang's arrangement today. ”

"Good!"

Pulling homely things, gossiping, and in the next period of waiting for the meal, although Wang Sanbao knocked on the side and mentioned the following a few times, Wang Siqi brought other things over.

.....

Approaching the afternoon, Wang Siqi finally pretended to sort out the things on the bookcase one by one, and then looked at Wang Sanbao, who was sitting and drinking tea not far away, and said, "Princess, go!" ”

I don't know where to go.

But Wang Sanbao still tacitly followed Wang Siqi out of the gate of the Baoyuan Bureau and got into the carriage.

"You kid still don't say where you want to take our family... Is there something you can't say in your territory? ”

"Not really, it's just easier to explain it in a different place."

"That.. Let's go. ”

The Ming Dynasty almost couldn't see the curfew system, whether it was during the reign of Lao Zhu or now when Zhu Di was the village, there was no curfew in the capital, let alone the Qinhuai River, which was famous for its romance.

The flowers and boats are painted, and the girls are either playing and singing Wu Nong's minor tune, or waving light yarns, showing their grace.

Wang Siqi looked at the scene not far away, and said to Wang Sanbao on the side with a smile: "I'm afraid that the prince rarely comes to such a place, right?" ”

??

Wang Sanbao: Do you want to listen to what you said, this is human language?

Ask how sad you can be, just like a group of eunuchs going up to the green building.

Wang Sanbao didn't answer, but said, "I don't know what connection this place can have with the things that go to the West?" ”

"Yes, the connection is great."

Wang Siqi walked a few steps quickly, turned around and leaned back against the bank of the Qinhuai River, opened his arms like a spring breeze to look at Wang Sanbao and said, "I don't know what the prince has seen?" ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Sanbao answered: "It's quite prosperous." ”

He is not one of those eunuchs who has no depth and shallow energy, if he were to change to someone else, he would have been eager to throw Wang Siqi into the Qinhuai River, where could he still stand in such a place and listen to Wang Siqi speak.

"It's not just bustling."

"A Qinhuai River not only contributed to Taizu at the beginning to lay down the capital of the entire Yingtianfu, even now it can still provide a steady stream of tax revenue to the government, and even drove the surrounding restaurants and hawkers to live a lot better."

"Outsiders think that this is a place of ecstasy, but they don't know how many people who come to Qinhuai River can linger in the flower boat painting boat, but more people are just begging for a living."

Such a view is something that Wang Sanbao has never heard of.

Even if he is a eunuch, he is not an ordinary eunuch in the palace, he is Wang Sanbao.

"That's what you say... Have you told the emperor? ”

"Nope."

"Can you tell us more about it?"

Wang Siqi knew that Wang Sanbao was a smart man and had understood the deep meaning of his words, but he still continued to tell the story: "What is the difference between the restaurants and hawkers who live on the Qinhuai River and the maritime merchants who rely on the West to do business? Fame but no fortune will never be able to retain people's hearts, and this is not only true for people, but also for the country. ”

"Only stable trade, let them rely on the Ming in trade is really surrendered to the Ming, if they are only nominally dependent on the Ming for the sake of benefits, one day after no benefit they will also turn their faces and deny people."

This is not only Wang Siqi's statement, but also in some parts of later generations.

"Those countries are poor in terms of property, where will they have the money to buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty?"

Wang Siqi shook his head.

Explained with a smile: "Poor? Barren? The rice in the South Seas can be harvested three times a year, and you only see their rags and the place where they live without a trace of prosperity, but you don't see that their people never seem to be troubled by eating. ”

"Barrenness is relative, and in terms of property, Nanyang is not inferior at all."

Thinking of the last experience, Wang Sanbao suddenly realized: "That's right! Although the barbarians in the South Seas seem to be poorer than the other, their people never seem to have to worry about not having enough to eat, even if they go to the forest to pick wild fruits! ”
