However, Xu Changqing was relieved soon.

The monthly salary for the nine-sided soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is only about one or two to one or five, which is still the official figure.

If the moisture in it is removed, it would be great if ordinary soldiers could get one or two.

It should be noted that even on the eve of the war in Ningyuan and Guanning Army, the monthly salary of many war soldiers was about one or five, to be precise, a little bit earlier than one or four.

This is money for life!

If you can afford the money, it would be no big problem to hire some skilled sailors in Denlai.

Thinking about it, things were gradually sorted out, but Xu Changqing couldn't help feeling sad and uncomfortable.

No wonder the wise men said: "The prosperity of the people will suffer, the destruction of the people will suffer."

Since the beginning of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the amount of silver inflows overseas has been increasing. For example, the nearby island country is rich in silver, and the famous Zheng family has made a fortune in this.

Under various channels, this inflation is somewhat amazing.

The silver worth more than one or two may be able to fill the family in the early Ming Dynasty and even have a surplus, but this is definitely not enough in the Ming Dynasty at this time!

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for a middle-aged laborer to support himself.

For example, in Ningyuan City, copper coins have almost been forgotten, only silver is hard currency, and the exchange ratio between silver and ordinary copper coins is even as high as 1:5500!

What is this concept?

One tael of silver can be exchanged for a big money of 5,500...

Of course, the new standard money, that is, those big money with higher copper content and better quality, have a much higher ratio, about 1:450-500.

But how many people can get the new money in the standard?

But that's the reality.

If you don’t do this errand, some people are rushing to do it, and everyone can only struggle to live. Living is already very difficult.

And how could he have the heart to think about anything else?

If you want to change and really do something, the road is long and arduous!

…

At the beginning of three o'clock in Shen Shichu, Xu Changqing had already checked five or six sand boats and had many transformation plans in his mind.

At this time, Li Hongyun finally sent back the news, asking Xu Changqing to come over to meet a few friends at night.

Xu Changqing was immediately excited!

This matter is indeed a good idea!

Xu Changqing immediately stopped staying here and went back to the Green Snake Forest to calculate his own money.

At this time, in addition to giving Hong Chengchou's members, giving Cao Bianjiao's personal soldiers, and other expenses, Xu Changqing captured the remaining 20,000 taels of silver in the Jin and Silver Land, and there was still a surplus of nearly 10,000 taels.

Uncle Zhong and his friends brought another 10,000 taels. In addition to giving Li Hongyun nearly 5,000 taels, there were also 5,000 taels, including about half and half of the silver notes and cash silver.

Total, Xu Changqing still has nearly 15,000 taels of silver.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Changqing took out 10,000 taels to buy the warship, and there was no big problem!

As for hiring sailors in Denlai, you have to use your brain more, a little profit comes first, write more blank checks, and live by your mouth and reputation...

Of course, as long as you can survive this most difficult entrepreneurial period, Xu Changqing will never lose money to them.

…

As soon as the sky got dark, Xu Changqing took Zhao Zengjin and a dozen others to the huge fleet of Denglai again.

The fleet in the night is even more majestic.

As the waves gently stacked, it seemed like a huge living castle, covering the entire sea.

On each ship, many officers, leaders, and officials were in a very good mood.

Under the piles of fire, many people were drinking and blowing their faces, and laughter came from afar.

I think they have received the inherent "floating" money from the Ming Dynasty over the years.

Xu Changqing and his group waited at the rear of the fleet for a while. A confidant of Li Hongyun rushed over and signaled Xu Changqing to follow him.

Zhao Zengjin and his friends were about to follow Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing waved his hand and followed Li Hongyun's confidant to go to the front with a smile.

I am giving money to these old men at this time. I think there will be no problem with safety.

Even if there is something really wrong, Xu Changqing is right

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I also have enough confidence in my skills!

Zhao Zengjin and others had no choice but to stay here.

Soon, Xu Changqing rode his horse to the middle of the fleet, beside an inconspicuous sand ship.

Li Hongyun's follower hurriedly laughed in a low voice: "Master Xu, right on this boat, let's climb up the ladder, be careful to point under your feet."

Xu Changqing also understood at this time.

After all, there are taboos in this kind of thing. The bosses in Denglai will definitely not come forward, but they should have nodded at this time, so there should be no big problem.

Carefully climbed onto the boat and entered the middle cabin corridor. Xu Changqing heard someone in the room in front of him laughing, very cheerful, and there was a faint voice of Li Hongyun.

Xu Changqing's mind was suddenly calm and followed calmly.

"Cruff."

As Li Hongyun's follower pushed open the wooden door, the scene inside was immediately exposed to Xu Changqing's eyes.

There are three people in the room.

In addition to Li Hongyun, there is also a guerrilla warfare and a thousand generals.

The guerrillas were almost in their early fifties, and Mr. Qian was even older, probably in his sixties.

When the three of them saw Xu Changqing coming in, Li Hongyun hurriedly said, "Master Xu, I will introduce you to two friends. This is Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao. They are both our old friends in Denglai."

Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Wu, Mr. Zhao, I have long admired you!"

When Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao saw Xu Changqing, they were both excited. The guerrilla master Wu smiled and said, "Master Xu, with Mr. Li here, we don't have to be polite. Come on, Mr. Xu is a famous hero in Liao, a hero who dares to kill the Tartars! Come on, let's have a few drinks first!"

Xu Changqing was prepared for this and naturally refused everyone.

Soon, the four of them started to eat and drink.

After three rounds of wine, five dishes, everyone has a lot of alcohol. Master Wu touched his beard, which was almost ten centimeters long and smiled, "Master Xu, I heard that Master Xu wants to do business with us?"

Xu Changqing's three-point drunkenness immediately dissipated. He looked at Li Hongyun quietly. Li Hongyun nodded quietly. Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Wu, I do have such an idea. Everything depends on Master Wu and Master Zhao's support."

Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao looked at each other. Mr. Qian took a sip of wine and smiled like a harmless old man: "Mr. Xu is so polite. Everyone is making a fortune. I wonder, Mr. Xu wants ~~, how many goods are there?"

Xu Changqing saw Li Hongyun next to him calmly, just like an old monk entering into meditation, and knew that Li Hongyun should have had a close conversation with them.

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Master Wu, Mr. Zhao, you two are both heroes, let alone Mr. Li here. The heroes are in front of you, and I don't say anything. At least ten ships are there! Of course, if the price is appropriate, you can try the twenty ships if you sell them."

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao were stunned.

Even Li Yunhong, not far away, was slightly confused for a moment.

He had not asked his followers to tell Xu Changqing the exact amount before, because this kind of thing cannot be said, it depends on personal understanding.

However, Li Yunhong himself had a rough assessment of Xu Changqing's financial resources. He thought that Xu Changqing only wanted to eat three or five ships and thousands of taels of silver. How could he have thought that Xu Changqing's appetite was so big that he needed ten and twenty ships!

After a moment, Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao looked at each other, and the old eyes were filled with greed that could not be concealed.

Li Hongyun still did not express his feelings, looking at the nose and the nose, as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

At this time, his mission had actually been completed, after all, he had already helped Xu Changqing get on the line.

Even though the Li family’s lady Li Youwei admires Xu Changqing very much and the Li family is willing to make friends with Xu Changqing, it is definitely impossible for Li Hongyun, a scheming and scheming old man like Li Hongyun to get the Li family.

Xu Changqing also had a clue in his heart at this time, and was not in a hurry, just smiling at the few people.

At this time, Mr. Wu moved his throat with some difficulty and said, "I don't know, what price is Mr. Xu want?"

Xu Changqing smiled: "My Master Wu gives you the price, you can do whatever you want. Of course, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, I will give you a good reward to Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao!"

As he said that, Xu Changqing took out a thousand taels of silver notes that had been prepared long ago, all of which were fifty taels per piece. Just under the noses of the three, they divided them into two pieces and handed them to Mr. Wu and Zhao respectively.

In front of my grandfather.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's bill number, which is the prototype of later banks, was already very prosperous and mature. The bills were circulated very high in the upper class and were very convenient.

Especially in recent years, with the rise of Shanxi merchants, the reputation of tickets in Shanxi has become better and better, and they have many branches, especially the silver bills of Shanxi merchants are more popular, which is hard currency.

Xu Changqing's Xu family's business is very popular in Shanxi because of Cao Bianjiao. These silver bills are all from Shanxi merchant bills, which are extremely solid.

"this……"

Looking at the bright silver notes with bright red marks in front of me, even though Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao were both old men among the old men, they were a little stunned for a moment.

Even though they usually have a lot of extra money, who has ever seen such a generous scene?
