Chapter three hundred and eighty second business opening
"Eunuch Gao, that is the dog raised by the king of the country, not the Yan family. Besides, this kind of dog that will devour the master cannot be raised by our Yan family." Yan Xu suddenly felt that it was time to transfer his son to the local government to be an official and trained. In this central court, it was too smooth. After all, with his Yan Xu's face, except for the people in the Censorate, he had to give him three points, which led to such an uncontrollable idea today.
"Master Devouring? Dad, don't scare me." Yan Licheng was shocked. Xiao Yi still had the heart of Master Devouring. He was a eunuch. Could it be that he wanted to learn from Zhao Gao and become an emperor?
"This person has a backbone behind his mind and is not trustworthy. Moreover, the prince of Jiang King Li Jicao has always been ambitious. If this person is too close to Li Jicao, he will sooner or later become a big problem." Yan Xu had long been used to the storm, and he could see Xiao Yi thoroughly.
"Dad, as the prime minister of the dynasty and the royal relative, how could you remain indifferent and still be with this person..." Yan Licheng wanted to say something in a mess, but finally swallowed it.
"What about the evidence? Besides, isn't Li Jicao's royal relative? His identity is not nobler than you and me? When King Han was there, he played a good balance. Now, it's hard to say." Yan Xu shook his head. In the past, the secret guard was still there, so Xiao Yi naturally did his best. Now the inner guard is the only one, so naturally he has room for operation. Unfortunately, Li Yu has not discovered this loophole yet.
"No wonder, Eunuch Xiao is willing to help us." Yan Licheng felt that he was too impressed. He thought Xiao Yi wanted to curry favor with him.
"Now, it's a stake. I'll be the one who has given me a steward. As soon as possible, I'll just sit and watch the ups and downs." Yan Xu's disciples had countless old friends. No matter what happened, he had enough value for the sake of stabilizing the situation. Even if the Song Dynasty came over, he could easily change his sect.
"Just listen to my father." Yan Licheng was frightened. It turned out that there was such a danger behind the seemingly calm.
"You go out first and let your father be quiet alone." Yan Xu has been reflecting recently whether he did something wrong and why he provoked Sun Yu, but ended up in such a situation.
I originally thought that if I lost the support of the King of Korea in the court, this person would be frightened and terrified, as if I were walking on thin ice. Unexpectedly, my behavior was even more arrogant. Is this the absolute strength?
Yan Xu's network of relationships is basically concentrated among civil servants. It is not that the generals cannot get into the hands, but that he does not dare. As long as he dares to intervene in the army, he is seeking death. After all, there are too many people staring at him in the prime minister once.
Sun Yu, who Yan Xu was thinking about, had already returned to Quanzhou. It was not because the matter at the copper mine was over, but because he received the news that the fleet that was going to Nanyang was back.
Sun Yu believed that even if he was not here, he would not have few members. Now he is in a hurry to come back because the fleet is back, and he should set up a real plan and have decided to take action against the merchant ships of South Vietnam before.
In the front yard of the Duke of Min, the charcoal fire was burning strongly in the front yard of the lake, Sun Yu called Song Wumian and Chen He to get on the chopsticks. The two went out to sea longer than the last time and ran farther away.
"Dude, this time, we really found the Strait of Malacca and went out along the Strait. Sure enough, there was really another world." Song Wumian admired him very much. In the past, the four major families always thought that Nanyang was a ring, the limit of the world, and they didn't expect there would be a wider existence.
"The world is very big. When the Strait of Malacca is over, you will soon be able to reach the Indian mainland. There are many people there and there are endless business." Sun Yu is much more confident about Haimao, and trade will continue to grow in the visible future.
India used to be the Persian Empire
, and then there are the Arab Empire and the Roman Empire, which really doesn't work. Keep going west and can still do business with African tribes. Although they have not yet been civilized, they have gold and that thing is common all over the world.
"Dude, should I take action against the South Vietnamese?" Chen He was more concerned about this. Compared to making money in business, he was more concerned about military merit.
"I just came back now, and I don't know what's going on in the dock. Can I get started?" There are four docks in the second batch of new warships, and nine can be launched at one time. The combat power of the navy will soar again.
"It's basically almost completed. If the artillery is in place, you can get into the water within ten days." As soon as Song Wumian came back, he handed over the fleet's affairs to Chen He, and he ran to the docks one by one.
"Don't worry about artillery. How to do it depends on it, you have to wait until Yang Qifeng comes." Even if you have strong strength, using your current methods to find a fleet of ships at sea, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
During this period, Yang Qifeng has been busy with Nanyue affairs and I don’t know how well he is preparing.
Just when Sun Yu mentioned Yang Qifeng, he was led to the mansion by his personal soldiers. Sun Yu waved his hand and signaled him to come over.
"I have met the Duke of the State!" Yang Qifeng has not been named General yet, and Sun Yu has talked to him specifically, which is also to protect him. The special camp wanders in the darkness, which is too eye-catching, and it is not a good thing.
Yang Qifeng doesn't care. Anyway, he is the boss of the special camp, so it's better not to have those false reputations. He believes that as long as he works hard, one day, the glory he deserves will be much more.
"Sit down and eat together!" Sun Yu pointed to the empty seat beside him. He liked to eat with his soldiers the most, so as not to become a lonely man, which would be too boring.
"Thank you, Duke!" Yang Qifeng moved the stool and sat down. The other two were also familiar faces and nodded to greet him.
"Let's talk about the situation of the merchant ships of South Vietnam, let's discuss it." Sun Yu picked up a piece of meat and put it in it. If he could annihilate the caravans of South Vietnam and eat the trade share of the East, the longer they would drag on, the greater their advantage.
The most important thing is that there is enough silver there waiting for him to mine it, so much that he can use silver to launch a financial war.
The caravans on the open side of the South Vietnamese Kingdom were formed by the royal family, and many other powerful people participated, usually sea boats of 1,000 to 2,000 materials. Usually, they go to sea once a year, with more than a hundred ships. Of course, there are also small boats secretly smuggled among the people, but the number and scale are very small, which can be ignored.
What Sun Yu is targeting is this fleet organized by the South Vietnamese royal family and the powerful. As long as they are taken down, it will be a heavy blow that will make the entire South Vietnam unable to slow down.
The wealth of South Vietnam is mainly due to sea trade. Qian used the money earned for people's livelihood and water conservancy. Now, the grain output in Hangzhou is extremely high.
"I have installed a spy in the fleet and have already figured out the route." Yang Qifeng spent more than half a year on this matter, and the money spent was just like flowing money, and finally got things done.
The caravans of the South Vietnamese Kingdom must first go to the Xiaoliuqiu Islands to trade, replenish resources such as Tamsui, and then go north to Japan. If you want to intercept the caravans, the Xiaoliuqiu Islands will be a good place.
"When will we set off?" Sun Yu pondered. This little Liuqiu Island was the Okinawa area in later generations, and now it is a small independent kingdom.
"May 15th! Go past before the summer storm comes, and return after the storm." Trade is not overnight. No one in Japan can eat supplies directly, and they have to sell them little by little.
Then find suitable materials to transport them back to Nanyue so that benefits can be maximized.
"It's more than a month left, and it should be too late. In early May, starting from Daliuqiu Island, you must complete your efforts in one battle!" Sun Yu put the meat into his mouth and chewed it hard.
On the fifth day of the fifth month, sixteen huge warships lined up and left Quanzhou Port.
Following closely behind, all the large ships with more than a thousand materials were not well-drafted. Except for the necessary materials, each ship did not carry much cargo, and the best arrangement was made between stability and speed.
On the deck of each merchant ship, there is a wooden box at the beginning and end, and below is a reduced version of the cannon.
This time, there were 16 warships, more than 100 merchant ships, and more than 300 large and small artillery pieces. The ammunition carried by each ship can be shot from sunrise to sunset at the speed of the cannons not blow up.
Song Wumian stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. He had to make every effort in this battle.
Zhao Pu, who is far away in Kaifeng, is so happy that he can't stop talking. Today is the day when Yuqing Pavilion opens. From today on, Zhao Pu also has additional investments, so he can enjoy the feeling of luxury and no longer have to hide it.
Zhao Pu has come here long ago. Yu Qing Pavilion is naturally the property of his second brother-in-law Wei Wanshi, so Zhao Pu is just here to congratulate him.
The three words "Yuqing Pavilion" hanging in the main hall are from the hands of the official family, which is the treasure of the house that ghosts and gods can destroy the Yi.
"Mr. Zhao, are you still satisfied?" Wei Wanshi was busy on the second floor. From now on, this second floor will be dedicated to the business of women's family, and men will stop.
Wei Wanshi knew very well that there were many powerful people in Kaifeng City. It was natural for men to go to brothels to be casual. As for women, they had a strong ability to shop and compete. He specially separated the second floor and would definitely attract women to come.
"Satisfied, satisfied, my second brother takes action and is very impressive!" Zhao Pu gave a thumbs up. Wei Wanshi's trip not only got a good purchase price, but also got some additional discounts. It looks inconspicuous, but it also made a considerable profit over the past year.
"The auspicious time has come. Lord Zhao, it's time for us to start!" Wei Wanshi reminded.
"Well, playing music, singing, playing drums and drums, it's lively." Zhao Pu pointed his head straight, this time, you must be grand.
If you want to talk about what is the most lively place in Kaifeng City today, it must be Yuqing Pavilion. The high platform built by the store, the best opera troupe, free to watch, and the Qing Gongren invited from the brothel, playing songs and dancing, and the crowds of onlookers squeezed the Zhuque Street into pieces.
The Kaifeng Prefecture and the Military Police wanted to take care of each other, but when they saw Zhao Pu sitting next to the platform, how dare they find trouble?
"Old Zhao, I'm so bright today!" Zhao Guangyi heard about it in the yamen. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he should come and take a look at his own property.
"Oh, Lord Gong, hurry up! Sit!" Zhao Pu turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Guangyi. He grabbed him and sat down in his seat. There was no discomfort. He would support the scene. That would be the best.
Many of the people watching were all servants of the powerful and powerful family, and they came here to find out the news. Zhao Pu alone could not cover such a big business. Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi's appearance made them smell a little danger and they had to go back and notify the people behind them.
Wei Wanshi had sharp eyes and quickly asked his servant to move a chair and let Zhao Pu sit down under Zhao Guangyi.
