After Fu Yong left, Zhu Biao clapped his hands and walked out from behind the scenes with a smile on his face.
Han Du saw Zhu Biao's face and said angrily: "What? Does your Highness want to make fun of me?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and chuckled: "Why are you making fun of me? In one auction, you swept away more than 300,000 pounds of gold. It's too late for me to praise you, so how can I make fun of you?"
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao's expression carefully and made sure that he was not sarcastic, then nodded and said: "This is nothing. We still came in too hasty. If we can prepare in advance, this
If the number is doubled again, I am still confident."
Zhu Biao believed what Han Du said. However, Zhu Biao then thought of something and asked casually: "By the way, is this pound the price of Hulumos? How much is one pound equivalent to the Ming Dynasty?
One or two?"
Han Du shook his head and said: "One pound is less than one pound of Ming Dynasty, and it is almost equivalent to nine taels of Ming Dynasty."
"One pound is nine taels?" Zhu Biao's eyes widened. He had always thought that one pound was one tael of Ming Dynasty. Even so, he was already impressed by Han Du's sudden profit of more than 300,000 pounds of gold.
He was so stunned. After all, Han Du paid very little. Those things were indeed invisible to the public, but they were very common in the palace.
Now Han Du told him that he earned not three hundred thousand taels, but three million taels!
Such a huge stimulation made Zhu Biao's mind go blank for a moment. He had never thought that making money would be such a simple thing. If someone had told him before that someone could make three million taels of gold in a day, he would definitely not believe it.
.But now that the facts are before his eyes, he has no choice but to believe it.
After a long time, Zhu Biao calmed down, took a deep breath, and suddenly lowered his head as if frustrated. He shook his head repeatedly and said with a bitter smile: "My father used to say that you are a good boy who is good at making money. In terms of business management, no one in the world can be like you."
My opponent. I already knew that you had many tricks and would make money. But I never thought that you would make money like this."
Han Du curled his lips and remained calm.
Zhu Biao looked at Han Du. The more he looked, the more curious he became. He even asked with a bit of surprise: "Where did you learn the ability to make so much money just by selling some things casually?"
"Haha~" After hearing this, Han Du rolled his eyes at Zhu Biao and sneered: "What do you mean by selling something casually? This is also because the Silk Road was blocked by the Timur Empire, which led to the
Silk, tea, and porcelain are in short supply, which is why there is such a strong demand. If your highness does not believe it, wait and see again in a few years. By then, as the Ming Dynasty merchants coming to Khrumos will become more and more
There will be more and more goods. When the time comes, Your Highness will see if they can still be sold at today’s price.”
Zhu Biao didn't want to pursue Han Du fiercely. He smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'm just curious. Why are you so nervous? But my father is right to praise you. You are indeed good at business management."
No. 1 in the world."
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao angrily, why are he nervous? Of course he is nervous about you, Mr. Zhu and his son. If Zhu Biao really thinks that it is easy for him to make money, then what if he is short of money in the future?
What should I do with myself?
As for Lao Zhu? To be honest, Lao Zhu has the mentality of an old farmer. Although he knew that Han Du would make money, he also made a lot of money for him. But all this money was hidden in the inner treasury by Lao Zhu and he did not think about it at all.
There was no intention of taking it out and spending it. There were tens of millions of coins lying in the inner treasury, but Lao Zhu still had the mentality of living in poverty. Even his food had not changed at all, that is, he used the gems in the inner treasury to make for Empress Ma and various concubines.
Just some jewelry.
Therefore, as long as Lao Zhu's internal treasury is still full, he will not come to Han Du.
But Zhu Biao is different. He is not as thrifty as Lao Zhu. Although he does not spend money lavishly, he is not stingy. Moreover, Zhu Biao still has so many officials in Zhan Shifu to support, and even some officials from the imperial court.
Sometimes I will comfort you a little.
After going back and forth, the expenses became very high. No matter how short of money Zhu Biao was, he was embarrassed to ask his father, so he turned his attention to Han Du, a philanthropic boy who could make money.
However, Zhu Biao would not speak to Han Du, but every few months Han Jingyun would go back to the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion for a kiss. Every time he came to the house, it was as if he was here to sweep up. Whenever he saw a pastry, he would grab two pieces and knead them in.
Her parents looked distressed and quickly ordered the cook to prepare a meal for her.
And Han Jingyun also refused to refuse any meal, whether it was vegetarian cakes, or big fish or meat. She even ate her eyes when she saw the meat, and the chopsticks in her hand were like a dragonfly touching water, one after another.
They start eating meat.
Especially Mrs. Liu, her heart trembled with distress when she saw Han Jingyun's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he tried to comfort her.
After Han Jingyun was full of wine and food, he made some requests, and the two elders naturally accepted them all and agreed. Han Jingyun just like this, every time he went back home, he would eat and leave with satisfaction.
Han Du looked at Han Jing
Yun was like a giant rat, trying to empty out the house again and again, staring at Han Jingyun with red eyes like rabbits. But Han Jingyun didn't care, the entire Zhenhai Hou Mansion, whether it was his father, mother, or Han Shu, stood
On Han Jingyun's side, even An Qing didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, so he turned his elbows outward, and even took Han Jingyun into Han Du's treasure house himself.
When Han Jingyun, who was crazy about poverty, saw Han Du's treasure house, he didn't need to think about it to know what her expression was like. Anyway, Han Du's treasure house was ruined by her once, and Han Du felt that he had no love in his life.
Shaking his head, Han Du shook off these distracting thoughts. He turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked: "Your Highness, we have been out for too long, and we have also arrived at Horumos. Next, should we go back quickly?
"
"Go back?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and quickly understood, "You mean, you want to go back to Beijing?"
"What? Your Highness still doesn't want to return to Beijing?" Han Du felt something was wrong, and his heart sank suddenly.
Sure enough, Zhu Biao shook his head directly, "Didn't you say that there are many Western kingdoms? Gucai looked at one Hurumos. Even if he wants to go back, he has finally come here, so he still needs to see more.
?”
Although Han Du was unwilling to do so, if Zhu Biao insisted on doing so, Han Du would not be able to stop him. Moreover, Zhu Biao was right. Since he had come all the way, if he didn't take a closer look, I'm afraid he would
He won't be willing to do it either.
"Okay, Your Highness. Where do you want to go next?"
Zhu Biao shrugged and chuckled: "That's your business. Wherever you take Gu, Gu will go. Aren't you very familiar with the West? Gu will listen to you."
If you really listen to me, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible! Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao full of resentment. However, Zhu Biao's words also made Han Du have to lower his head and think about it.
After a moment, Han Du raised his head and said, "Your Highness, if you must see it, there is only one place."
"Oh? Where?" Zhu Biao responded casually.
"Tianfang!" Han Du said two words loudly.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said doubtfully: "Tianfang? I seem to have seen this name in ancient books, but didn't it say that Tianfang is in the far west? Is it far from us?"
Do you also know the distance? If you knew the distance, why would you have to come all the way here? Cursing in his heart, Han Du said to Zhu Biao seriously: "Your Highness, where we are now, isn't it the land of the far west? Although
The sky is still here to the west of Hurumos
It’s not far from here, but it’s not far from here. And, most importantly, it’s also on the seaside, and we can get there by warship.”
"Okay, then it's up to you, let's go to this place!" Zhu Biao happily clapped his thigh and made up his mind.
Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao speechlessly, "What do you mean, just follow me?" But the matter was at this point, and he was too lazy to argue with Zhu Biao. After thinking for a while, Han Du said: "But your highness, although the West says there are many kingdoms, but
There are not many close to the sea. And the only ones who can take a look are Hurumos and Tianfang. After your highness goes to Tianfang, you must promise me to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao pondered and did not answer. After a moment, he raised his head reluctantly and looked at Han Du, "Just look at the sky and then go back. Can't you look more? Don't lie to me. I have seen all the countries in the world."
The whole map. I know that there is a continent to the west, and there is even the Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine Empire."
Han Du sighed, "Your Highness, I will tell you the truth. Yes, there is a continent here, but there is not even a decent kingdom on it. The people on it are still eating hair and drinking blood, living like wild beasts. This way
There is not even a decent city in this place, and there is nothing interesting to see at all.”
"The Ottomans and Byzantines are indeed big countries. But we can't get through it." Han Du looked helpless.
Zhu Biao didn't believe it, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Can't you pass? How is this possible? I have seen it before, and it is indeed possible to pass through the sea?"
There was bitterness on Han Du's face, and he sighed: "Yes, the sea is connected, that's right. But your Highness doesn't think that all the seas in the world are the same, right?"
"Is there anything different about this?" Seeing what Han Du said, Zhu Biao became worried.
Han Du then explained: "That sea has a name, it's called the Sea of Storms."
"Storm, sea of storms?" Zhu Biao's heart suddenly thumped. After that storm, Zhu Biao was still frightened when he heard the word "storm". Even with his ambition, he saw the waves pouring down like mountains.
, and my heart and liver were trembling.
Han Du nodded, "The Sea of Storms, as the name suggests, the storms there are very dense, almost non-stop at any time and anywhere. With our warships, the risk of passing through the Sea of Storms is still very high, I don't dare to let it go
Your Highness is in danger. If Your Highness does not go, I can send a few warships to forcefully cross the stormy sea, but I am not sure how much damage will be caused."
