Hearing this, Shang Kezhou's face suddenly became excited.

"Your Highness, Guo Changshi, you two haven't seen it, after those Koreans ate a mouthful of chili peppers, they were like seeing some dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and they couldn't stop at all.

Even, many people's mouths are swollen after eating, and they are still eating.

In less than two days, the ten catties of chili peppers brought by the fleet were directly eaten by those Goryeo magnates! ”

"This time, those Koreans were able to come out with gold and silver just to buy a lot of chili peppers."

"The chili pepper is so spicy, they like it so much?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di, who didn't care much about it, couldn't help but look weird.

"Back to Your Highness, those Koreans not only like it, but also eat it raw, and they don't even put chili peppers into meals and steamed buns, and just bite and eat them with their empty mouths......"

Shang Ke replied with a fluttering eyebrow.

"This ...... Will they feel unwell after eating? ”

At this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Shang Kezhou nodded slightly, "Your Highness is wise." ”

Guo An is much more indifferent, and later generations of Koreans also like to eat chili peppers, and they are not eaten by people, what is super spicy, perverted and spicy.

"This year, I didn't receive many chili peppers, and I had to sell them to Sichuan, and Beiping Mansion also had to keep some.

How much can those Koreans pay for each catty of chili peppers? ”

Zhu Di also stared at Shang Kezhou closely.

Shang Kezhou replied: "Back to Your Highness, Guo Changshi, this time Weichen took the ten catties of chili peppers, which were sold at the price set by Guo Changshi, and one catty of chili peppers was sold for ten taels of silver.

However, I didn't expect those Goryeo magnates to hear that I don't have many chili peppers in Daming after eating, and chili peppers can only be grown in my Beiping Mansion, so they are willing to raise the price! ”

"Twenty taels of silver for a pound."

"Twenty taels a pound?"

Zhu Di's eyes were round, his whole body trembled, and he had a feeling of fluttering immortals.

One pound and twenty taels.

The price they bought from those people was the same price.

"Sell, as long as the Goryeo people pay for it, all the chili peppers recovered by the Yanwang Mansion in the past few days will be sold to Goryeo."

Shang Kezhou looked at Guo An on the side.

In terms of foreign trade, all of them know that this matter still needs to be decided by Guo Changshi.

Sure enough, after calming down, Zhu Di also looked at Guo An.

"What does Guo Qing think?"

Guo An bowed respectfully, and then said: "Back to Your Highness, Weichen thinks that rare things are precious.

Although the Goryeo magnates discovered gold and silver mines, they were not sure how many gold and silver nuggets they could calcine each month.

Moreover, it is precisely because of the scarcity of chili peppers that they will pay such a high price.

If they know that my Yan Wangfu actually supplies them with more chili peppers, it is inevitable that they will be greedy and want to lower the price.

Now, I can sell two catties of chili peppers for one pound of chili peppers, so why not? ”

"In addition, Your Highness Mingjian, don't look at the fact that many farmers in Wanping County have planted chili peppers this year, but in fact, it doesn't add up too much.

My Yanwang Mansion has only purchased more than 8,000 catties of chili peppers in total.

But these more than 8,000 catties, my Yanwang Mansion has to keep some for my own consumption, dedicate hundreds of catties to the Beijing Division, and then sell some to those merchants and magnates in Sichuan......

In this way, it can be sold to the Goryeo magnates for a maximum of 4,000 catties. ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said, "Four thousand catties, that is, eighty thousand taels of silver, is not a lot!" ”

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, these 4,000 catties can only be sold to the Goryeo magnates for 2,000 catties in front." ”

Zhu Di was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

Guo An explained: "Your Highness, the chili pepper is spicy and has the effect of warding off the cold.

The geographical location of Goryeo is remote, and the winter is very cold, at that time, those Goryeo magnates will inevitably beg my Yanwangfu to buy chili peppers. ”

Zhu Di was instantly energetic, "At that time, the price of chili peppers can still rise!" ”

Guo An nodded, "Your Highness, it can still rise!" ”

"In this case, then sell it to the Goryeo magnates for 1,000 catties first, and save 3,000 catties!"

After a pause, Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, what is the price of the chili peppers sold to those people in Sichuan?" ”

Guo An replied: "Go back to Your Highness, sell it to Yingtian City, a pound of chili peppers for four yuan, sell it to Sichuan, and sell it to Sichuan, a catty of chili peppers for five times." ”

"Five runs?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and then said: "Can you sell less chili peppers to the Sichuan people, and sell the rest to Goryeo?" ”

Guo An shook his head very dryly, "Your Highness, the Goryeo barbarians don't deserve to eat so many chili peppers." Even if it is sold less to Sichuan people, it can also be sold to Shanxi and Shaanxi!

We, the people of the Ming Dynasty, can also eat some chili peppers to keep out the cold.

Moreover, if it was really sold to those Goryeo magnates, they would still think that there were a lot of chili peppers in our Yan Wangfu, which was worthless! ”

"In this way, then only 4,000 chili peppers will be given to the Goryeo barbarians!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, in the past two years, the cotton workshop and wool workshop in my Yanwang Mansion have been able to weave tens of thousands of cotton cloth and woolen clothes every year.

Wechen thinks that he can try to send some to Goryeo this year. ”

"Selling woolen clothes to Koreans?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up again, "Guo Qing is in charge of these things!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An thanked again.

This time he traded with Goryeo, and Guo An found a happy way to make money.

As for Zhu Di, Shang Kezhou and others, the same is true.

Sell any items to the Koreans, and you can make several times the profit. Moreover, the Koreans are still grateful to Dade.

What could be more exciting than this kind of thing?

Moreover, Shang Kezhou also brought a bigger news to Zhu Di, Guo An and others.

The 10,000 Yanshan guards stationed in Goryeo actually made more than 6,000 Goryeo women pregnant.

In this regard, Zhu Di grinned.

As for Guo An, I don't know whether to congratulate or scold, those 6,000 scumbags!

However, when they came back this time, those Yanshanwei stationed in Goryeo brought back some letters and money to their families.

It made Guo Anxin's sense of guilt a little less.

When the fleet of Shang Kezhou and others left again with a full load of goods, it was not a few days.

Zhu Di also took Zhu Liang and two ships of goods to Ying Tianfu.

As for Guo An, he stayed in Beiping.

With the autumn harvest, the farming slack begins.

The entire Beiping Mansion seems to have officially begun to get busy.

Iron and steel workshops, cotton workshops, sweater workshops, sugar workshops, brick kilns, all have groups of people, began to register and make books to work.

However, there are also some farmers who feel that their fields are not enough, and take a large family to reclaim the wasteland.

At the same time, some merchants, gentry, and wealthy families in Peiping Province also began to repair their houses, or build brick and stone houses, or directly cement poured warehouses.

The laborers of Beiping Mansion were inexplicably nervous.

Even those ruffians have disappeared.

Within a few days, the gentry and wealthy families discovered the biggest problem.

Lack of masonry!

Although Yanwangfu, together with Huangcun Huangyuanwai and Zhengcun Zhengyuanwai, have built several brick kilns this year.

However, the brick kilns of these three are far from enough.

And many people's houses have already been built more than half, and only the roof, or courtyard wall or the like remains.

In order to build houses as soon as possible, these gentry and merchants had to raise the price and then compete to buy masonry and cement.

As a result, the price of bricks and stones in Yingtianfu began to rise wildly in just one month.

Evenly, the price of masonry in surrounding states and counties has also risen slightly.

The brick kilns of Yanwangfu, as well as the brick kilns of the Huang family and the Zheng family, are vigorously recruiting young craftsmen.

Naturally, in just one month, the money earned is probably the money that the brick kilns in the surrounding states and counties can only earn in a year.

Now, those businessmen and wealthy businessmen in Beiping Mansion who had not listened to Guo An's advice before had red eyes and repentant intestines.

Who would be too little about money?

Over the years, they have worked hard all day long, risking being killed!

Isn't it to lend money to the common people, to take land from the peasant households, to buy slaves, or to open those shops, in order to save a lot of money for the children and grandchildren of the family?

And now, just lose some fame, but make money that they can't earn in a few years?

This kind of good thing, they actually missed it in vain?

"This kind of good thing, the Huang family and the Zheng family must not be allowed to monopolize such a big bargain! Butler, quickly summon a few craftsmen and go to build a brick kiln! ”

"Master, the Huang family and the Zheng family have already built brick kilns, and if I wait to build them again, won't they already be one step behind?"

"What do you know, according to the prosperity of Beiping today, next year, or even the year after that, more and more businessmen will come to Beiping.

Moreover, there will be more and more wealthy people in Peiping Province, and by that time, more bricks and stones will be needed......"

"Okay, you old servant Hugh has to say more, quickly go find craftsmen, go to build a brick kiln!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

"Butler, prepare the car, let's go visit Guo Changshi!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Housekeeper, prepare the car, bring some gifts, visit Guo Changshi to ......"

"Yes, sir!"

……

During the days when Zhu Di went to Beijing and met Lao Zhu with other princes, Guo An's life was very comfortable.

However, as soon as Zhu Di returned to Beiping Mansion, Guo An's leisurely days were gone.

"Guo Qing, hateful, our brothers are still coveting our trade with Goryeo......

They even went to the main hall and asked their father and emperor to approve them to form a fleet to trade with Goryeo......

They don't want to think about it, their territory is so far away, and do they have that kind of business brain?

Thanks to Guo Qing's idea, Goryeo Wangjing, Ganghwa Island, and Haifeng County will become the domain of our Yan Wangfu, and we can only stop their mouths if we trade between our own domains! ”

It seems that Zhu Di's trip to Beijing was very unpleasant, and he complained indignantly to Guo An.

"In the end, seeing that my father was very determined, they actually bewitched my father and asked us to hand over some money to my father...

Hmph, let's just say that we pay 1.5 million taels of silver to our father every year......

Guo Qing, don't you know, what kind of expressions did our brothers have after hearing the 1.5 million taels of silver? ”

Guo An replied slowly: "It must be extremely jealous, and his expression is distorted!" ”

"How did Guo Qing know?"

"Because during the time when His Royal Highness went to Beijing, the gentry in Beiping Mansion also looked like this after seeing the two gentry who built brick kilns making money!"

"I see!"

Zhu Di's face was full of indignation, "Sure enough, people's hearts are insufficient!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An said casually.

With a long exhalation, Zhu Di remembered something, and said again.

"Guo Qing, let's decide, while the weather is not cold during this period of time, and the river is not frozen, we will transport the one million taels of silver to Jingshi first!"
