Chapter 151: Based in Liaodong

Li Miao took a look at the harvest and the harvest was indeed expensive, more than three million taels of silver goods, in exchange for nearly ten million taels of silver, itself made a lot of money, plus these precious Chinese medicinal materials, as well as the furs of rare animals, at least three or four million taels of silver.

Wang Yonggui was extremely excited, this silver was so easy to earn, more than three million taels of silver became more than ten million taels of silver, and it had been used for less than two months, no wonder Li Miao insisted on taking a little risk. What do you say if you know that the profits are so high?

Li Miao seemed to see Wang Yonggui's thoughts, "Steward Wang, at most, once a year, preferably once every two years, and the profits in the future will not be so high."

Wang Yonggui thinks about it, this is the first sea trade with Goryeo, and scarcity is expensive. It will be impossible to have such a high profit if I go to Goryeo again next year.

Li Miao continued, "Next year, we can arrange two three-sailing ships to go to Japan for maritime trade, and Japan's maritime trade profits should be higher than that of Goryeo." ”

Li Miao knew that Japan was more developed than Goryeo in terms of geography and economy, and Japan was rich in silver resources.

Next year's income from Japan's sea trade is still very considerable, but piracy is rampant in Japan's waters, so Li Miao will arrange two large ships to go next year. With the growth of Li Miao's power, the Japanese pirates have long been out of Li Miao's eyes.

This time the Goryeo sea trade was a great success, and soon the second three-sailing ship in Chengzikou Port on Lingshan Island could be launched again, and Li Miao and his subordinates were also excited, and this silver was too easy to earn.

Li Miao also had clear rewards and punishments, and the sailors and guards on the first voyage were rewarded with more than 200,000 taels of silver, and they also took turns to take a month off to rest.

Li Miao wanted to use silver to stimulate the rapid development of ocean-going maritime trade, so that sailors and guards would compete to get on the big ships. Let the competent guards scramble to get on the big boat.

Because of Li Miao's move, it directly boosted the economy of Qingzhou City. In a short period of time, prices in Qingzhou City have risen by 20%. Several new brothels have opened.

These sailor guards originally had a high income, and with the silver reward this time, most of them were bachelor guards and sailors, and they usually had no place to spend the silver. Usually food and clothing are the owner's, this is not just a holiday, spend money hard.

As a result, there were too many sailors and guards vying to get on the big ships. Wang Yonggui had to raise the bar again. The second schooner has not yet been launched. The ship's sailors and guards have already been booked.

Now it has become an honor for the sailors and guards who can get on the three-sail ship, and it is true that the ability of all the sailors and guards who can get on the three-sail ship is not covered. is definitely the best among Li Miao's subordinates.

This time, the three-sailing sea ship made a big show in Goryeo, and the force value of these sailors and guards was absolutely too strong to say in this era of cold weapons.

If it weren't for Wang Yonggui's pressure in Goryeo this time, they would almost have fought in Goryeo. On the return journey, the three-sail ship docked at Lushunkou for supplies, and there were guards at Lushunkou who had friction with the Jurchen guards at the local port.

The Jurchen guards also retreated in the end, of course, because of the strength of the Sanfan sea ships, and many sea ship guards at that time proposed to take Port Arthur.

Wang Yonggui was also a little moved at that time, and it was still very necessary to develop ocean-going trade in the future and occupy a port on the Liaodong Peninsula as a supply point. Port Arthur's garrison is rather limited.

It is not difficult for the combat power of the three-sail sea ship to take the Port of Arthur. For the sake of prudence, Wang Yonggui did not make a move, and asked Li Miao for instructions after returning to the flight.

Li Miao is also happy, he is also fighting the idea of the Liaodong Peninsula now, and shrinking in the Great Zheng Dynasty always makes him feel like he is shrinking.

It can take a piece of land in the coastal area of the Liaodong Peninsula. as your own private land. On the one hand, its own long-distance ships have an additional port of their own.

On the other hand, they can rely on the support of the port to gradually develop farmland, accumulate grain, and cultivate their own forces. There you can let go of your hands and feet. Now that I have no shortage of money, I can do a big job.

Most of the current Liaodong Peninsula is in a primitive state, except for a few ports occupied by the Jurchens, there is very little land to be reclaimed, and the land is fertile. After all, the Jurchen and their Han slave population were not large.

If Li Miao can occupy a port on the Liaodong Peninsula. In that way, there is no need to be so low-key, and you can quickly expand yourself in the Liaodong Peninsula. It is also possible to house some of the northern refugees this winter.

With the growth of Li Miao's strength on the Liaodong Peninsula, he could contain the Jurchen tribe's attack on the Great Zheng Dynasty. It's a win-win-

Li Miao pointed to a port on the east side of Lushunkou on the chart, Zhuanghekou Port is about 200 miles away from Lushunkou Port.

"Steward Wang, the influence of Lushunkou Port is too great, even if we occupy it, it will also attract a strong counterattack from the Jurchens, we don't have this strength now, here, Zhuanghekou Port."

Lushun Port is both geographical location and economic value. It is impossible for the Jurchens to give up easily. It is easy to occupy, but difficult to hold. Not to mention development. For Li Miao, it is not a good place at the moment, so it is better to occupy Zhuanghekou Port first.

Compared with Lushunkou Port in all aspects, Zhuanghekou Port is not half a star worse. It doesn't make much sense to the Jurchens, waiting for Li Miao to develop and grow. The Jurchens reacted again, and the Zhuanghekou Port had turned into a hard stone.

After Wang Yonggui's voyage to trade, his horizons broadened a lot, and the silver treasury of Lingshan Island had more than 10 million taels of silver. Indeed, it is difficult for the owner of the Dazheng Dynasty to develop in a low-key manner. That can only jump out, Zhuanghekou Port is indeed a good place.

The key is to keep a low profile and not alarm the Jurchens for the time being. Li Miao and Wang Yonggui's master and servant lasted for a long time, and soon, one after another orders were issued from the small room where they were, and the high-level transfer of Li Miao's forces began.

The intensity amazed the high-level officials of the Southern Bureau and the Northern Bureau. Next, Li Zuhua was promoted to the head of the Southern Bureau, and Li Xilin was appointed as the assistant director. Hu Si was promoted to the head of the Southern Bureau's guards.

Wang Daoqi, Hu Yong, Li San, Hu Wu and others of the former Southern Bureau have other important responsibilities.

Although the northern bureau is not as strong as the southern bureau, it is also frequently mobilized, and Li Miao is considering that there will be a big change this winter, so he is open to the northern bureau. Try to preserve the strength of the Northern Bureau. It is also a very small number of high-level transfers.

The top management of the Southern Bureau has almost come to a big change. , the escort force has also been transferred by half. Those who were soon transferred out dragged their families and took a double-sailed small sea boat to Lingshan Island to gather. Li Miao left Steward Wang busy on Lingshan Island.

Li Miao soon returned to Qingzhou City, and first collected the rare medicinal materials of Goryeo obtained from this sea trade into the inner space. A piece of land was cleared and planted with living medicinal herbs.

With the turmoil of the Great Zheng Dynasty, medicinal herbs have become another series of varieties in Li Miao's inner space. The inner space of the native medicinal herbs of the Great Zheng Dynasty also began to be planted.

Originally, Li Miao's medical skills were superb, and the study of medicinal materials was his strength, but now with the approach of the invasion of foreign races in the north, medicinal materials have gradually become strategic materials, and where else is there a more suitable medicinal material cultivation base than the inner space?
