Although Ma De didn't know why Kangxi sent an elder brother there, and he didn't worry much about Yu Zhong and Mo Jing, he still wrote a letter and sent Pegasus to Old Man Fei. However, what he didn't know was that Old Man Fei was no longer in Mukden at this time.

More than 12,000 Jingqi banner people, excluding those old and weak women and children, a total of 7,300 strong people were forcibly pulled out of Mukden by Old Man Fei and Sabusu, and advanced towards the Liaodong Peninsula in the form of an army. And looking at these more than 7,000 banner people, it is a group of Fengtian bigwigs such as Old Man Fei and a thousand Manchurian elites transferred by Sabusu.

"I said Ferdinand, you said that it would be beneficial to go to Liaodong, and now that you are already on the way, you have to give this king a thorough understanding, right?" Prince Jane Rabu has been used as an overlord gun by Old Man Fei these days, sweeping the east and west, invincible, although there is a suspicion of being used, but it is also a big addiction, trying the majesty of the Eight Banners **** that has not been shown for many years, and now, he speaks a lot rougher, and he feels much more confident than before.

"Hehe, the prince doesn't have to worry, he will always know what he should know, and he will never let you down when the time comes!" Old man Fei deliberately adjusted Rabu's appetite.

"I said you are an old man Fei, did you do it on purpose?" Rab asked with a smile. What is friendship? If you go out together, it's called friendship. In the past few days, whenever Rabu thinks that he can "flat" more than 10,000 banner people who can be "flattened" by himself, he feels comfortable, and he doesn't feel that it is not a big deal to play prestige with "his own people". And the old man Fei who brought him this kind of enjoyment naturally became a "confidant" of him to a certain extent.

"Lord Wang's words are serious, how dare the slave deliberately make a mystery in front of you? Isn't it yet time! "Old man Fei's mouth is quite strict.

"Hehe, Lord Fei, we all came after listening to your words, let's talk about this ugly thing in front, if you blind us, something happens at that time, we won't help you......" Prince Dong also smiled and threatened Old Man Fei.

"Don't dare, don't dare, please rest assured, when you get to the place, Fei will definitely satisfy everyone......" Old man Fei said.

"Master Fei, don't sell it, I already know your secrets......" Tong Bao was originally behind, and at this time, he rode a horse to catch up with Old Man Fei, followed behind the three kings of Fengtian, and interjected.

"Oh? Tong Bao: Do you know what Lord Fei is doing in Liaodong? Speak quickly, talk quickly......" Rabu asked anxiously. As soon as he thought that this was about the annual income of 100,000 taels of silver, his heart was in a fuss, but Old Man Fei just didn't say it, and he had no choice, but now Tong Bao said that he knew, of course he wanted to ask to understand. And in addition to Sabusu, who was pressing at the back of the team, several Fengtian bigwigs also stretched their necks and waited for Tong Bao's answer.

"Hehe, if I guessed correctly, it is very likely that Lord Fei wants to build a seaport in Liaodong......" Tong Bao saw that there was nothing wrong with Old Man Fei's face, so he said with a smile.

"Build a harbor?" The expressions on the faces of the three kings of Fengtian were all stunned.

"Yes, I heard that the Jilin Senator Lord Ma Dema wrote to the emperor to ask for the construction of Vladivostok Port, and the imperial court is discussing this matter. Now Lord Fei has brought a large number of banner people into Liaodong, presumably it is similar to Lord Ma's meaning, to establish a seaport in Liaodong to facilitate the transportation between Manchuria and the Central Plains......" Tong Bao looked at the old man Fei, his face was very proud.

"Hehe, Lord Tong is well-informed, I didn't know about Ma De's request for Jianhai Vladivostok for a long time, I didn't expect Lord Tong to already know......" Although Old Man Fei smiled happily on the surface, he was secretly frightened by Tong Bao's connection with Beijing. Ma De wrote a recital after reading Vladivostok and ordered someone to send it directly from Vladivostok to Beijing, and it didn't take long for Tong Bao to know, which shows that Tong Guowei is not an ordinary concern about Manchuria.

"Vladivostok? What is that place? Prince Guo asked. There are many of his subordinates in Jilin, and they are also under the "current management" of Ma De, so he pays more attention to Ma De's big moves.

"Vladivostok is in the north of North Korea, and Changbai Mountain is not very far away, close to the sea, the place is good, but the sea surface there is frozen for four or five months a year, so it is not suitable to build a large seaport, but ah, if you can set up a water division in Vladivostok, then the Tianbei sea area is all in my big bag!" Old man Fei said loudly.

"Tianbei Sea? What's the use of that? Besides, Lord Fei, didn't you mean the sea...... Isn't the sea suitable for building a big port? And how did the imperial court arrange the sailors there? Prince Dong asked.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? ......" Old man Fei smiled mysteriously, and said: "Opposite the sea cucumber, it's Japan!" ”

"Japan? Lord Fei, you're talking about the Wa Kingdom, right? What's going on there? Tong Bao asked.

"What's wrong? Japan is a treasure now! Old man Fei said: "The Dutch traveled tens of thousands of miles to Japan by ship to do business, and from this alone, you can imagine what is there there......

"What's there?" Rab asked.

"Silver! Copper! ”

"Silver? Copper? …… I also have these in the Qing Dynasty, what is rare? Could it be that the silver and copper of my Qing Dynasty are not as much as that of the small Wa Kingdom? Rab said dismissively.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, do you know? Yu Zhong got a Dutch book in Heilongjiang, which once calculated that a few decades ago, Japan accounted for 10% of the world's silver...... Almost more than the Central Plains. Old man Fei smiled, his eyes full of something called greed.

"What? …… One out of five in the world? Is this true or false? Swallowing a deep mouthful of saliva, Tong Bao tried to keep himself from losing his temper.

"Nature is true. Even if there is a discrepancy in this result, it should not be far behind, otherwise, how could those Hongmaoyi go tens of thousands of miles to Japan? Old man Fei said: "Knowing that Japan is rich in silver, the Dutch, as well as many European red hairymen, have poured into Japan like crazy, trying to exchange a large amount of silver...... They don't know how much money they make...... "Old man Fei's words did not need any embellishment, and they had already aroused the strong resentment of several people around him towards the Europeans...... Is that silver worthy of you red-haired foreign devils? The Three Kings of Fengtian and Tong Bao both shouted so loudly in their hearts. When they heard that so much silver was being earned "not far away" by others, they thought it was cutting their flesh.

"So, in this way, the price of gold and silver in Japan has changed dramatically, but everyone, in Japan, the price of gold and silver is still more than twice as high as that of my Daqing Dynasty! That is to say, when we take fifty taels of gold, and when we return, we will be worth a hundred taels of silver...... And this is just a sea trip! Old man Fei continued.

"This ...... Isn't this similar to buying and selling without capital? Tong Bao said.

"yes, almost! It's a pity that few people in my Qing Dynasty are interested in this close matter, but it is Europa Hongmaoyi, who is tens of thousands of miles away, still making a lot of money! Moreover, you must not know very well, that the West has begun to use less silver! ”

"Less silver? What do you use if you don't use money? ”

"Gold! …… Use a large amount of silver in exchange for goods, and then sell it everywhere to earn gold, and then bring back to your own country gold that is more valuable than silver...... "Old man Fei didn't mention that those Europeans went to Africa and America to kill people and sell slaves, and it was not yet time.

The eyes of the "Golden ......" Rabu and the others began to change color a little.

……

"Ferdinand, are you going to Dalian Bay or Lushunkou?" Just when Rabu and Tong Bao were upset that the gold and silver had been earned by the Europeans, Sabu Su also caught up from the rear team and asked Old Man Fei loudly.

"Go to Dalian Bay first, don't go to Lushunkou first......" Old man Fei also replied loudly.

"Dalian Bay? I'll just say, Master Fei, you really want to build a port......" Tong Bao was pulled out of the "Yellow and White Dream" by the questions and answers of Sabu Su and Old Man Fei, and said when he heard the words.

"Build a port? Ferdinand, what is there to make money in building this port? Isn't there already a port at Lushunkou? What's the use of building another one in Dalian Bay? Prince Guo also quickly "woke up" and asked.

"Build a port? It is indeed useful to build a port, but I didn't say that I would go to Dalian Bay to build a port......" said Old Man Fei.

"If you don't build a port, what are you going to do by the sea?" Rab asked.

"To the seaside, of course, a salt farm has been built!" Old man Fei replied.

"Salt Works!?" Except for Sabusu, everyone present was stunned!

"Before returning to Fengtian, I have already sought the holy decree that I can choose a place from Laotieshan in Liaodong to Shanhaiguan and build a salt farm, hehe, I have sent someone to check, this area, Fuzhou Bay, Pulandian, Gaizhou, Yingkou are all suitable for the establishment of salt farms. However, I think that Fuzhou Bay in the area of Dalian Bay is the most suitable, and the place is big enough, so I will take everyone to ......" said the old man Fei.

"You, what did you say about moving the emperor? The salt policy of the imperial court is extremely strict, how can the emperor allow you to open a salt farm again? Tong Bao pointed at Old Man Fei and asked tremblingly. It is no wonder that he was surprised that the Qing court imposed a monopoly on salt and levied taxes from it, and according to the convenience of administration and transportation, the whole country was divided into 12 regions for salt production, and the management was extremely strict. However, despite this, the salt road officials are still big fat poor, and the salt merchants are all huge profits. At the same time, the salt class also has about one-third of the country's total income, second only to Tian Fu...... And Old Man Fei suddenly said that he had obtained a holy decree to open a salt field, which was equivalent to holding a cornucopia that could produce gold and silver, but he didn't know anything about such a big thing, how could he not be surprised?

"Hmph, this old thing, I heard that the Yangzhou prefect committed a crime and Yangzhou salt merchants evaded taxes, so he took the opportunity to ask the emperor for such a holy decree, the emperor was angry in his heart, and wanted to beat the arrogance of those Yangzhou salt merchants, so he promised him ......" Sabu Su glanced at the old man Fei, and he didn't know whether he was praising or losing.

"It's that simple?" Tong Bao also smiled. Salt! It's salt! Yangzhou salt merchants, that is, the leaders of Huaiyan, which one of them does not have oil flowing like a small river? Now I am also guarding a salt farm to live, not to mention 100,000 taels a year, as long as the operation is legal, it is 200,000 taels or 300,000 taels a year, and it may not be impossible! "No wonder this old man Fei will recruit me too, with me, the salt in this salt farm is not sold wherever you want?" Tong Bao thought secretly.

"Old Fei, this salt farm can be opened bigger...... Labu Baba stretched out his head and said to Old Man Fei eatingly.
