Section 104 Making Money
Mu Zhengguang and the other three were a little surprised when they heard Zheng He's plan. According to their intention, they were the slaves of the Holy Envoy, and the Holy Envoy helped him kill the other people. This was the normal situation, but why did it change now? They wanted to share the Japanese and islands with others.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zheng He looked gloomy and said, "Why, don't you want to?" Zheng He said.
Seeing Zheng He's tone unhappy, Suzuki Masahiro and the others quickly knelt down, "Sir, the three of us are like brothers, how could we disagree? We are willing to jointly manage the Japanese and islands for the Celestial Empire." Now, there is only this way, who can make the weak?
Seeing that the three of them were unified, Zheng He was also satisfied. The eggs could not be placed in one basket, so let the three of them compete. "As for the territory of the Tokugawa family, Suzuki and Fujiwara will take them. Remember to give Harahira some compensation, and then start to accumulate goods. After the accumulation of part of the accumulation, we will exchange food for part, do you know?" Zheng He ordered.
Eiki Harahira, who had thought he had no benefit from him, was also extremely happy. The four nobles had a small territory. If it weren't for Zheng He, he might have been eaten by Suzuki Masaku and Fujiwara Taro.
For the rest of the days, Zheng He asked someone to draw the whole picture of the Waha Island and make a backup. After lingering here for two months, Zheng He set sail again to the south. Because Suzuki Masahiko and the others told Zheng He that according to the records in the book, there might be a relatively large island in the south, so Zheng He decided to go south and take a look, and then meet the country, asking His Majesty to prepare for the trade routes of the Waha Island.
After heading south, Zheng He indeed discovered the island chain, many of which met Yuwen Tianci's standards, which made Zheng He finally feel relieved. He gave an explanation and then drew the sea map in the middle before setting sail back to the Holy Dragon Continent. However, when Zheng He came back, he did not find two eyes staring at them on the water behind the fleet.
After listening to Zheng He's narration, Yuwen Tianci was very excited. He was an angry young man and had no chance on earth. Now he had a chance. I don't want to kill you. "General Zheng He, is the route to Wuhe Island safe?" Yuwen Tianci asked.
"Your Majesty, I have already indicated on the chart which areas are safe and which areas are dangerous. The creatures in the ocean are also completely bloodthirsty. Some creatures are still very gentle and do not actively attack humans. As long as you walk this route and pay attention to the storm, there is absolutely no problem. Moreover, this route is the shortest and can be reached in less than seven days," Zheng He pointed out a route to Yuwen Tianci.
"Very good. I want to tilt all the Chenmi Langu to them so that they don't grow food themselves and rely on our provision alone. At that time, we will be able to fully grasp this race with serious slavery. General Zheng He, are their women very delicious? Is it great to be slaves?" Yuwen Tianci smiled with a man's face.
"How did Your Majesty know?" Zheng He was there for so long. Of course he was "captured". The same was true for those soldiers. Suzuki Masakuro sent many beauties to please them. Yuwen Tianci was not thinking that Zheng He would betray him. It was also understandable that Yuwen Tianci was relaxing properly. Zheng He wondered. Did His Majesty set out with the fleet? Why did they know their character so clearly?
"Well, you don't need to ask. I know the solution. Okay. General Zheng He has worked hard. Let's go down and rest first. Wait until tomorrow morning. I want the Qing family to announce this good news." Yuwen Tianci waved Zheng He backed down and sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
Things are getting worse and wrong. It's fine if the Holy Dragon Continent is like the Asian Continent. Why is even that dirty race appearing? Why is it becoming more and more like the Earth? But the proportion is so different. When will the satellites in the Chinese Empire rise? In this way, you can clearly see the whole picture of this planet. However, such a planet with backward technology and development direction is completely problematic. This idea is probably difficult to realize.
As for how to deal with this Japanese island, Yuwen Tianci smiled a nasty smile on his face. Since they regarded the Holy Dragon mainland as holy envoys, and they were so backward, not to mention military affairs. So what else should I say? It turned into a commodity factory. All the specialties and all the women in the land are the sources of funds for the Chinese Empire. Moreover, the empire has harvested a lot of land and grain for so many years. The grain reserves are already overflowing. Yuwen Tianci is not easy to deal with. There is a place where the land is pouring out. Use these worthless grains to exchange for various luxury goods. It is worth it. They are still lacking weapons. The mainland just happened to be out of peace. Those weapons of the land can also be sold to them appropriately. I guess they would not listen to Zheng He so honestly. They can fight. As long as they don’t delay the delivery of the land.
Of course, Yuwen Tianci has received education in some kind of cultural place in the island country.
Those people in the island country have virtues. They don’t know how to serve others. I guess many people will like them on the road. They will be sold as slaves at that time. They will also be very valuable. Then they will bring in the female body and set up a special izakaya. The more Yuwen Tianci thinks about it, the more lewd he becomes, the blushing on his face.
"Come, go and find Prime Minister Zhuge and Colin," Yuwen Tianci still understood the importance of official business, so he summoned Zhuge Liang and Colin, the head of the Chinese Business Group. Colin's life is very good now. Those who looked down on him at the beginning came to curry favor with him. Who wouldn't know that the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland was the Chinese Business Group. Whether it is civil or military, the Chinese Business Group became the spokesperson for the foreign trade of the Chinese Empire.
"See Your Majesty," Zhuge Liang and Colin fell to his knees in front of Yuwen Tianci.
"Okay, get up, Colin, I haven't seen him for so long, but I've gained weight. How about it, the business group is okay?" Yuwen Tianci chatted with him first. He hadn't seen Colin for a long time, so I'm going to make up for it.
"Your Majesty, you will know whether the Chinese Business Group is good when you look at me. Now, the money will be delivered to you automatically without moving me. There will be endless streams of money," Colin of course was very grateful to Yuwen Tianci. If it weren't for Yuwen Tianci's trust and letting him take charge of the Chinese Business Group, he wouldn't have achieved such a high achievement. His loyalty to old ministers such as Anthony is no worse than Pang Tong and others.
"Haha, I can see that I have attracted you today, but I have to ask you about your vision. Do you think these products have market value?" Yuwen Tianci kept the specialties Zheng He brought from the Japanese island on the table.
"I'm offending," Colin took two steps forward, picked up these things, and looked carefully. Needless to mention pearl corals, tortoiseshell armor, lacquerware, cotton cloth and bamboo sculptures were appreciated by Colin for a long time. "Your Majesty, these things can become best-selling products on the mainland and can enter the high-end market. It is very valuable. Our silk has occupied the high-end textile market, and this cotton cloth can help us occupy the low-end textile market. I wonder where His Majesty got these goods?" Colin said affirmatively.
Yuwen Tianci looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled, "Prime Minister Zhuge, guess where these things were obtained," Yuwen Tianci asked. Zheng He went straight here as soon as he came back. Few people in the empire knew that Zheng He was back.
"Your Majesty, this is too simple. These things have never been seen on the mainland, and there are pearls and corals. These things are only available in the sea. I guess General Zheng He has returned and found a new world, right?" I knew that it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to be troubled.
"Haha, Prime Minister Zhuge is right, I know I can't hide it from you. General Zheng He has returned, but he discovered not the mainland, but a large island. These things are the specialties of that island. Moreover, General Zheng He has already established a new regime on that island. We can exchange food for these things. I see that the Chenmi Langu in our granary has a place to use," Yuwen Tianci said with a smile.
Colin opened his mouth wide in surprise. Since he followed His Majesty Yuwen, there has been no fair transaction. At the beginning, it was fine, but later, the continuous extortion of tariffs made the business profitable, and the tariffs were getting lower and lower, which made Colin really unable to bear it. Now, it would be better to exchange the old rice and bad grains in the granary for these high-end luxury goods. It would be a loss for His Majesty Yuwen to not become a profiteer.
"And the women on that island are extremely gentle and very good at serving people. We can make money after selling a little," Yuwen Tianci immediately rose to a black-hearted businessman in Colin's heart, and even slaves want to get involved. "Colin, I want the Chinese Business Group to be fully responsible for this matter. I don't want others to interfere. Moreover, the employment of people must be our own people. Every time I go to sea, I must strictly check and not disclose it. Can this be done?" Yuwen Tianci asked.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Chinese Business Group has cultivated a large number of qualified confidants over the years, but do we have cargo ships?" Colin knew the power of the sea. Zheng He's those were warships, so of course they could sail inside.
"There are cargo ships. I will order the shipyard to step up the development. At present, we will use warships instead, and we have supply ships, which are completely competent. This matter must be implemented quickly. I already want to make money," said Yuwen Tianci.
"No problem, Your Majesty," Colin mentioned that he was full of confidence in making money. According to what Yuwen Tianci said, this money is definitely easy to make.
"Prime Minister Zhuge, I hope you can let the Ministry of Commerce coordinate. I don't want to hear disharmonious voices. If necessary, I can let Zhang Qing's family help you." Yuwen Tianci knew that such an easy way to make money would definitely take risks. Yuwen Tianci wanted to kill this possibility in the cradle.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter," Zhuge Liang accepted the order. (To be continued,)
