Yang Miaoyan rolled her eyes speechlessly, but didn't say much.
Li Yuanji quickly said to Zhao Chengyong: "What are you doing here, why don't you leave quickly?"
Zhao Chengyong was granted amnesty and quickly fled from the temple.
Li Yuanji followed Zhao Chengyong's footsteps and quickly fled from the front of the temple.
Yang Miaoyan waited until her husband ran away, then sighed speechlessly, came back to her senses and said to the worried Wang Ruan: "Sister, you don't have to worry too much. Alang said that Xuance will not be in danger, so that's for sure
There will be no danger."
The eldest brother had set the tone, and it was hard for her, who was in the fourth eldest brother's house, to go against them.
He could only hesitate and say: "Sister, is Xuance really not in danger?"
Yang Miaoyan nodded firmly and said, "Alang said no, it's definitely not."
Wang Ruan continued to hesitate and said: "But...but my Wang family only has such an outstanding disciple as Xuance. If anything happens to me, I won't be able to explain it to my uncles."
Yang Miaoyan sighed and said angrily: "If you think so, you Wang family will never think of it again in your life."
Wang Ruan raised his head and looked at Yang Miaoyan in astonishment, not understanding what Yang Miaoyan meant.
Yang Miaoyan reminded: "Look at Alang, and then look at the other dignitaries in the court. Which of them did not risk their lives to gain wealth? Their family backgrounds are higher than your Wang family.
They have to risk their lives in order to gain wealth. If you, the Wang family, are too precious about their lives, why should you keep pace with them?
Why do you want to raise your family status?
Do you really think that by being close to the big tree of Alang, you can grow stronger without paying any price?
Alang still has to work hard and sleep well at night, why do you, Wang, just sit back and enjoy the success?"
Wang Ruan slowly lowered his head after what Yang Miaoyan said.
Although she was still worried about Wang Xuance's safety, she fully agreed with Yang Miaoyan's words.
Everyone gets rewards after paying a huge price. If Wang doesn't want to pay anything and just wants to get rewards, that's obviously impossible.
As Yang Miaoyan said, Li Yuanji had to risk his life to get to where he is today.
As Xiaoteng Xiaoman who is attached to Li Yuanji, how can Wang dare to sit back and enjoy the success?
If the Wang family really holds this intention, then even if Li Yuanji does not abandon the Wang family, Li Yuanji's successor will abandon the Wang family, and even uproot the Wang family to strengthen his body.
Therefore, if the Wang family wants to grow stronger and develop into a wealthy family like the Five Surnames, Qiwang, and Guanlong Ba, they must make sacrifices, and they must pay more than these wealthy families.
"Understood?"
When Yang Miaoyan saw Wang Ruan lowered his head and stopped talking, she knew that Wang Ruan understood what she said. She didn't say anything else immediately, but invited Wang Ruan to go with her to persuade Li Xiuning.
Compared to Wang Xuance, Yang Yuzhi, and Yang Sizhi, Chai Lingwu was the one who suffered the most.
Because the Chai family was originally from a wealthy family, Chai Lingwu also had a grandfather who was an emperor, an uncle who was a supervisor, a mother who was a princess, and a father who was the duke.
Even if he is the second son and cannot inherit his father's title, he can still obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries under the support of his grandfather, uncle, mother, and father. There is no need to risk his life to pursue any merit.
After all, Jiangshan belongs to his grandpa's family, and he is his grandpa's only legitimate grandson. Whether it's his grandpa or his uncle, a little bit leaking out from between his fingers is enough to make him fat.
So he doesn't have to risk anything to pursue anything.
So his mother, Li Xiuning, needs to talk to her carefully.
…
While Yang Miaoyan and Wang Ruan were chasing after Li Xiuning and interceding for her husband, Li Yuanji was hiding in the sea pond and dividing the spoils with Li Xiaogong.
】
The first batch of dividends earned from side markets have been collected, and the sixth batch of dividends from water transportation have also been calculated.
The dividends from the border market are far less than the dividends from water transportation.
However, there is only one border market and it has just started operating. Being able to make a profit is a good start.
In comparison, water transportation has been in operation for a long time. The water transportation from Luoyang to Dizhou, and from Dizhou to Yangzhou, and then to Jiaozhou has gradually matured. Large ships are constantly shuttling back and forth on the canals, the Yellow River, and the sea, every moment.
Everyone has made money, and the dividends are amazing and reasonable.
"I have always known that I can make money by doing business with the vassal, but I didn't expect to make so much money. In just over a month, I have already made one hundred thousand guan.
It won’t be more than one million guan this year, and it won’t be more than 10 million guan in ten years?
Wouldn't it be more profitable if we open a few more places?"
Li Xiaogong was sitting on the dragon boat, holding the documents that had been rushed back from the border city of Daizhou in his hand, and said with a shocked look on his face.
Although he had read the document many times, he was still shocked when he read it again.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to this bumpkin.
What the hell is this? I was so shocked that I couldn’t help it.
If all the side markets around Datang were opened, the profits would not shock him to death.
Moreover, this is a trade between countries and between forces, and a hundred thousand coins is just a drop in the bucket.
From 500,000 guan to 1 million guan, that is the limit for Daizhou border city.
After all, the border city of Daizhou is targeting the Eastern Turks. Although trade with the Eastern Turks has not yet been completely launched, the dividends that the Turkic tribes outside Daizhou alone can contribute far exceed 100,000 yuan.
A piece of good leather can at most be worth a piece of linen of the same area in Turks, but when transported to Luoyang or Chang'an, it can be exchanged for three or even more pieces of linen.
A sheep can only be exchanged for some salt or half an iron pot in Turks. But when it is transported to Luoyang or Chang'an, if you dare to exchange it for some salt or half an iron pot, they will kill you.
There are also various large livestock such as horses and cattle, and the highest profit can reach a hundred times or even more.
Therefore, even if a border market faced four or five medium-sized or seven or eight small-sized Turkic tribes, it could contribute far more than 100,000 yuan in dividends to Datang every month.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Daizhou Border City made a profit of 100,000 yuan in the first month, which is really nothing.
It's even a little low.
After all, large-scale transactions are controlled by Datang officials behind the scenes. Datang officials are the managers, tax collectors and participants of border markets.
I only earned 100,000 yuan in bonuses, which is really quite pitiful.
If this is compared with Datang's tax revenue, it does look impressive.
But in actual transactions, goods equivalent to a thousand fine horses may have been traded.
Are these several medium-sized Turkic tribes and several small-sized Turkic tribes with hundreds of thousands of horses considered too much?
Not at all!
"Let your people take an extra step and go to several Turkic tribes near the border market in person to publicize our border market. Tell them that in addition to not being able to buy weapons in our border market,
They have everything they want.
In this way, we can do bigger deals and get more dividends."
Li Yuanji said helplessly after reading the bonus documents brought by Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong stared blankly and said in astonishment: "You have already earned 100,000 yuan a month, are you still not satisfied?"
In his opinion, one hundred thousand guan is already a large amount of income.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and said, "I'll take 90,000 coins, and you share the rest with others. Do you still think it's a lot?"
At this time, Li Xiaogong became silent.
Although he was the leader of this transaction, there were many people involved, including all the uncles and brothers who had gone to Li Yuan with him to seek justice.
For uncles like Li Shentong and Li Shenfu who were not involved, he had to take the initiative to show some filial piety, otherwise people would think that he was treating them like an outsider.
As a result, what can be divided into his hands is less than Qianguan, or even less.
He, a powerful prince, went out to do business in person, but he could not make a thousand guan in a month, which was indeed a small amount.
It's not embarrassing enough to say it.
After all, with his current authority and status, not to mention deducting military pay and drinking the blood of soldiers, just accepting filial piety would last more than a month.
"Do you understand? Once you understand, let your people move."
Li Yuanji said something disgusting, put down the bonus documents from the border market, picked up the water transportation bonus documents reported by Su Dingfang and calculated by Ma Zhou, and started to read them.
Li Xiaogong sat there silently, doubting life.
"Look, Su Dingfang is much smarter than you."
After Li Yuanji took a brief look at the water transportation bonus document, he showed it to Li Xiaogong.
Compared with bonus documents from border markets, water transportation bonus documents are worthy of envy.
If the water transportation from Luoyang to Yangzhou and Luoyang to Chang'an were still unblocked and money was still being spent, the water transportation bonus document would make people even more jealous.
"Half a year! 1.5 million yuan?! This has already caught up with the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Xiaogong held the water transportation bonus document tightly and couldn't believe his eyes.
Li Yuanji glanced at the short man in front of him and said disdainfully: "To be precise, it is 3.5 million guan, of which 500,000 guan has been set aside to dredge water transportation, and the remaining 1.5 million guan belongs to you."
Divide it among several people, and the remaining 1.5 million yuan is mine."
"This is impossible! This has already caught up with the taxes I paid in the Tang Dynasty for three years!"
Li Xiaogong screamed and couldn't believe it at all.
The figure of 1.5 million guan is enough to stimulate his nerves, and 3.5 million guan has already stimulated him into a psychosis.
He didn't believe it at all.
Li Yuanji curled his lips and motioned to Li Xiaogong to read the details inside.
Su Dingfang, Samurai Yi and others were still doing quite well in water transportation, but in terms of sea transportation, they were no longer satisfied with transporting food and other items, but directly began to transport gold, silver, gems, jade, ivory and other items.
This is tantamount to transporting money, and it would be strange if it doesn't make money.
The most important thing is that Su Dingfang, a shady guy, also encouraged the soldiers on the ship to commit various robberies at sea. All ships that had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty and were hanging around Dizhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou were almost robbed by them.
All over.
Some guys who wandered in the gray areas of the sea were all taken care of by them.
If they hadn't accidentally injured the envoy of Lin Yi State, who was so frightened that they protested and restrained themselves, they would probably have gained more.
After all, before the Central Plains had developed its land to the extreme, small countries such as Japan, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Linyi had already begun to march into the ocean.
Although it is still primitive in terms of development and navigation, people have begun to take risks and explore the sea, and have begun to dig out various treasures in the ocean.
Therefore, in the waters around Datang, they actually have quite a few ships, some official, some semi-official, and some unofficial.
As long as Datang wiped out one of them and tracked down its lair, it would be able to make a lot of money.
That is to say, the navy of the Tang Dynasty was not very aggressive. In addition, the ships of the Tang Dynasty could not enter the deep sea and could only sneak along the seashore. The various small countries could not afford to offend the Tang Dynasty, let alone give it to the Tang Dynasty.
It was an excuse to attack them, so there wasn't much conflict.
Like the Japanese country, they also wanted to learn various skills from the Tang Dynasty. Except for a very small number of extremists or guys who sit in a well and watch the sky, the vast majority of people maintained considerable respect for the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, even if the Tang Dynasty could not conquer them through the ocean, their official or semi-official ships would not take the initiative to turn against the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, if the navy of the Tang Dynasty wanted to make a lot of money at sea, they would have to conquer others at sea first.
