Cao Yun or sea transport, the real version of the answer is river and sea transport!

The sea route communicates all countries, and the river transports the Ming Dynasty to unify the Ming Dynasty...... The inside and outside are connected, and the whole country is a game of chess.

Zhu Di looked at the huge map, and the routes kept emerging in his mind, each route fluttered sails, and during the voyage of the ship, gold and silver wealth also flowed along with the channel.

The silk of Bashu was transported to Liujiagang through the Yangtze River.

They were reloaded into sea ships at Liujiagang and sent to Annam, from which they were loaded with grain and transported to Tianjin, and then to Beiping, where they were supplied with the Nine-Sided Military Quartermasters......

With such a trade route, every link has made money, millions of Li people along the coast have been able to survive, the imperial court has enriched its finances and taxes, and its national strength has increased greatly.

Rich country and rich people, right in front of you!

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more happy he felt, he couldn't help glaring at Xu Jingchang, and complained: "Such a good idea, why are you saying it now?" ”

Xu Jingchang grinned bitterly, it would be nice if this thing was so easy.

"Your Majesty can't just settle accounts...... Single-item trade is not a good thing. In that case, it is equivalent to drawing blood from the southern inland to nourish the nine sides, and it will not last long. If there is an exchange, there must be things in the north and things going south. ”

Zhu Di said curiously: "You also said that, now there are things in the north that go south?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang said: "At this time, the establishment of a field and the encouragement of kings to set up industries and farms are for this purpose. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "In that case, you are also highly skilled in your hard work and should be rewarded." ”

Others didn't speak, Zhu Zhanji said quietly; "Grandpa Huang, you don't need to reward more, just lose less."

When Zhu Di heard this, he was furious and glared at Zhu Zhanji viciously.

The black boy didn't know where he got the courage, so he glared back.

"Grandpa Huang, you gave the dragon's eye to King Qi!"

Zhu Di was dumbfounded, Tianjin Port is the dragon's eye that is the finishing touch in the north, and he hastily rewarded it to the King of Qi, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Zhu Di's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "Since King Qi has made a fortune, let's go and take a look, let him have a treat, and let's have a good meal." ”

Xu Jingchang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty wants to have a full meal?" ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Yes, it's not just me, the big guys have to eat well!" ”

Then Zhu Di took the big guy and killed Tianjin......

At this time, compared with the time of the martyrdom a few years ago, it was too lively.

Businessmen from all over the world gathered, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

There was a strong smoke in the air.

Zhu Di was taken aback, it was so lively?

He quickly found Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, and at this time Zhu Rong came in a hurry, with a fishy smell on his body, and looking at his boots, it seemed that they were still stained with dark black blood.

Zhu Yu saw Zhu Di and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"The younger brother came in a hurry, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Zhu Di didn't care, "I was born and died on the battlefield, I haven't seen anything!" It's just the seventh brother, what are you busy with now? How did you get so embarrassed? ”

Zhu Yu smiled, "If you go back to Your Majesty, it is just a small business, not worth mentioning." ”

Xu Jingchang said quietly: "His Royal Highness King Qi, selling meat to Jiangnan is not a small business!" ”

Zhu Yu grinned, "It's not big, it's really not big, it's just to earn a few pocket money." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Seventh Uncle, can't you see it as a little nephew?" I calculated, at least one million taels a year, which is much more comfortable than you being the king of Qi! ”

Zhu Yu hurriedly shook his head, "What's the matter, you can't talk nonsense, no, absolutely nothing!" ”

Zhu Di saw Zhu Rong's face change color, and he was also curious, and he rewarded so much money with a casual word, which was really a bit of a loser.

No way!

It must be asked.

Zhu Di was not afraid of hard work, and went directly to the dock to check the situation.

It stands to reason that he handed over the wharf to Zhu Rong, just thinking about the business that he has dealings with, and he just collects a toll, how much money can he have?

But when he was really at the dock, Zhu Di suddenly found that he was thinking simple.

At this time, Tianjin has formed a huge industrial chain.

And Xu Jingchang is the biggest hero.

After he arrived in Beiping, he eradicated many smugglers and killed them with blood...... However, Xu Jingchang did not cut off the trade between the two sides, on the contrary, he set up a field in Daning, turning the smuggling trade into a regular trade.

At this moment, the situation changed a lot.

Because of the opening of formal trade, many businessmen rushed to come, and an inevitable situation appeared, that is, involution!

Tea, silk, cotton, porcelain, ironware...... This kind of commodity that the people of the grassland needed was suddenly enriched.

On the grassland side, there are no other commodities that can be taken out except cattle, sheep and horses.

The business did not last for two months, and according to rough estimates, Daming made a net profit of 150,000 taels from the grassland.

Not to mention Duoyan Sanwei, even Arutai, who had agreed to trade with Xu Jingchang before, couldn't stand it.

This is also too exaggerated, losing so much money in two months, and losing one million taels in a year.

In a few years, the gold and silver of the steppe will be absorbed.

At that time, there will really be only one way to go south and loot.

There's no way, who made you Daming too profitable.

Xu Jingchang is not surprised at all, if he can't even win business, then it's a fart!

However, it is obviously not a way to go on like this, and we must come up with a strategy to balance trade.

And the method has long been on Xu Jingchang's desk.

Zhu Di remembered, "Dingguo Gong, before I went north, you seemed to have passed a lot of orders, so you were laying out this matter, right?" The grassland products are scarce, and they can't earn normal trade at all, so they can only rely on the court's reward. I don't just spend money, and sometimes, I can't do it. ”

Zhu Di is still trying to prove that he is not a loser.

Xu Jingchang also dared to really ask for the guilt, so he could only say his own methods.

First of all, the volume of trade must be large.

This is also the reason why Xu Jingchang instigated businessmen to roll up in the early stage and desperately lowered prices...... Even if you make less money, you have to push the trade volume up.

Because only when the trade quota comes up and there are more materials, including ordinary people, can they also drink tea bricks and use iron pots, can the whole business be irreversible.

Otherwise, it will only be enjoyed by a few top layers, and even if the field is stopped, the impact will not be so great.

"If you want to capture the old people, isn't this a trick in the art of war!"

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Your Majesty Shengming, shopping malls are like battlefields, that's what you said...... The door of trade was opened, and the Tatars could not resist the general trend, but they lost a large amount of gold and silver, and could not hold on. That's where our chance comes. ”

"What chance?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Bulk purchase!" The minister has already arranged for merchants to go to the grassland to purchase every once in a while. Mainly cattle, sheep, horses, all kinds of products, what do you want. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This is not bad. Just because they don't have so much output and can't satisfy your appetite. I went out several times to conquer outside the Saiwai, and the people of the Mongolian tribes were actually very poor. I know it. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "They can't come up with so many products, so they can sign an agreement and let them increase production according to our needs!" ”

Zhu Di frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Father, do you remember that when the children were in western Zhejiang, when they were relieving the victims, they signed a contract to change rice to mulberry, and to ensure their food, the people would plant mulberry and raise silkworms with peace of mind." ”

Zhu Di was shocked, "What?" Can this trick also be used on the Mongol tribes? ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "It's all the same truth, what's not to do?" We signed a contract with the herdsmen of the grasslands...... We want all the cattle and sheep they produce. If you can't pay the full amount in the event of a disaster, we can also provide low-interest or even interest-free loans to help them tide over the difficult times, as long as they can repay them in the coming year. ”

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, puzzled, "If you do this, the grassland tribes are naturally willing, but in the final analysis, what is the difference between it and the tribes that I reward?" Isn't it still a waste of Daming's money? ”

Xu Jingchang said slowly: "Your Majesty, you are rewarding a tribe, and the minister is signing a contract with ordinary herdsmen!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "What do you mean...... Can we control every herder now? ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "We can't do it for the time being, although we want to sign a contract with every herdsman, but the heads of the various departments, the officials of Duoyan Sanwei, and the palace nobles of the Tatar department, they still don't agree." After all, in that case, it is equivalent to giving up the people to us. ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I just said, it's not so easy to do, you are whimsical." If they agree, will they not surrender and be at their mercy? ”

"But the herdsmen in all departments have started to raise more cattle and sheep as I hoped."

"Ahh

Zhu Di couldn't help but whisper, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Rong, "Seventh brother, that's how your livestock business came about?" ”

Zhu Yu nodded helplessly, it was true.

Now thousands of sheep are sent to Tianjin every day...... Among them, those who are in good physical condition will be loaded and transported away and sent to Yingtian...... In order to solve the problem of losing fat by sea, these sheep usually dock and land in Chongming and other places, fatten, and then send them to Yingtian, where the live sheep are killed.

As for those who are old and have poor physique, they will not be transported to Yingtian at all, so they will be slaughtered in Tianjin, then salted and sent to the south.

In many places in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a habit of eating salted meat, and these lamb legs and lamb chops are very popular after they are sent.

Each live sheep has about five denarii of silver, and a large boatload of salted meat can also earn a hundred taels of silver.

I have to say that as long as it's meat, I don't have to worry about selling it...... Tianjin wharf here is a large number of sheep slaughter, discarded offal have been taken away, just by the wharf, opened several haggis soup restaurants, lively and extraordinary.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "Father, if this continues, after five years, under the command of Arutai, there will only be herdsmen who raise sheep, and there will be no more warriors who control the strings." ”

Zhu Di was shocked, could it be said that the power of business is more powerful than soldiers and horses?
