Chapter 215, the Zhang brothers want to build a ship
At the entrance of Liu Jin's courtyard, the two brothers Zhang Heling, the Shouning lord, and Zhang Yanling, the Jianchang lord, were looking at Changning bureau Zhou Yu very unhappily. The conflict between the Zhang brothers and Changning lord has been going on for a long time. Of course, the most important thing is
The Zhang brothers relied on their sister to be the current queen and their nephew to be the current prince, so they acted arrogantly.
There was a conflict with Chang Ningbo Zhou Yu over grabbing land, and the two families also had a fight, and it was indispensable to blow their beards and stare when they met each other.
"Uncle Chang Ning, why aren't you dead, old guy?"
Zhang Yanling seemed to have something to say. Changning Bo Zhou Yu was a family member of the current Empress Dowager and a relative of the emperor. The Empress Dowager was the grandmother of Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was able to escape the murderous hands of Concubine Wan Gui because of the support of his grandmother.
Emperor Hongzhi was a filial man and was naturally very kind to his own grandmother. In addition, he was raised by his own grandmother when he was a child. Naturally, he treated the Empress Dowager's family very favorably.
However, Changning Bo Zhou Yu was a smart man, and he knew very well that the wealth of his Zhou family was entirely supported by the Empress Dowager in the palace. The Empress Dowager was already very old and would not live long.
Once the Empress Dowager leaves, the Zhou family's life will not be as easy as it is now. Therefore, he has always followed the principle of tolerance towards the Zhang brothers, and is also relatively low-key and easy-going.
But I didn't expect that he would now insinuate that he was older than the two brothers, but he was not an old guy. He was obviously referring to the Empress Dowager in his words.
"Hmph~"
Although Changning Bo Zhou Yu was angry, he had no way to deal with the two brothers. A relative was a relative after all, and it only mattered who was closer to the current emperor.
The Zhang brothers were protected by Empress Zhang, so they were naturally arrogant and domineering. Emperor Hongzhi only had Empress Zhang as his wife and Zhu Houzhao as his son. The two brothers really had no scruples because of their status as uncles. What?
Everything can be done.
There is absolutely no benefit to be gained from fighting with these two brothers. The only thing they can do is to let Emperor Hongzhi reprimand the two brothers. For the Zhang brothers, this is just like playing house, it is not painful or itchy.
.
Seeing that Zhang Ning Bo Zhou Yu ignored him, Zhang Yanling also smiled slightly proudly and did not say anything else. After all, the other party was also a family member of the Empress Dowager Zhou. Emperor Hongzhi was still very filial to the Empress Dowager Zhou. If the matter came to Emperor Hongzhi,
, the two brothers would inevitably be summoned to the palace and given a scolding.
The few people didn't wait too long. Zhao Erhu came out to greet them on behalf of Liu Jin and led them to the living room.
"Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzuo~"
The Zhang brothers came to the living room and immediately saw Zhang Mao and the others. They couldn't help but touch their noses. Although the two brothers and Zhou Yu were nobles, this title was not obtained immediately. With Zhang
Mao, Zhu Fu and other nobles are different.
"Uncle Chang Ning."
"Zhang Brothers"
They are all old acquaintances of each other, so when they meet, they naturally greet each other and exchange pleasantries. Liu Jin can be considered acquainted with them.
Liu Jin observed carefully and found that Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzuo preferred to deal with Changning Bo Zhou Yu, and they seemed to have a good relationship with each other. As for the Zhang brothers, they felt that everyone disliked them, sitting together.
They all feel a little uncomfortable.
This made Liu Jin recall the historical records about these two brothers in his mind, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing surprising. These two brothers were really arrogant and domineering, and they were arrogant and almost offended everyone. They only had a little land.
They even offended the Queen Mother's family, which shows that these two brothers are really brainless.
"On the occasion of Shouning, when Uncle Jianchang came to visit my humble abode, it was truly a blessing."
Liu Jin smiled and expressed welcome. Of course, this was definitely not true. For such a fool, Liu Jin felt that it was better to stay away from him.
I can't afford to offend or provoke him, so I can only hide.
"Mr. Liu, our brothers came to see you this time because they want to buy a boat from you. We need this fishing boat and a fishing boat that can go to North Korea."
Zhang Heling didn't speak. It was his younger brother Zhang Yanling who spoke. He didn't talk nonsense and was very direct. This is his usual style of doing things.
"Okay, this fishing boat goes out to sea for 20,000 taels, and the ocean-going boat costs 100,000 taels."
Liu Jin smiled. As expected, they were all here to buy a boat. Now the news has spread, and there are too many people who smell the blood. Everyone wants to make a fortune, so they all come here one after another.
If the Zhang brothers want to buy a boat, there is no reason why they should not sell it. The Zhang brothers and Uncle Chang Ning represent a group of relatives. If they make profits in the ocean, the power to push back the maritime ban will be even stronger in the future.
.
"Twenty thousand taels?"
"One hundred thousand taels?"
"Why don't you go grab the money?"
As soon as Liu Jin finished speaking, the two Zhang brothers couldn't help but jump up. They were so bullying. The two brothers lived frugally every day and were not even willing to drink porridge. Liu Jin was better.
It's just a boat. It's just 20,000 taels per boat or 100,000 taels per boat. I'm really not afraid of taking money as money. This is simply robbing money.
"Well, my boat is a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth the money. This fishing boat can catch more than 100,000 catties of fish in one day at sea. Even if the fish is sold for a penny per catty, it can make dozens of dollars a year.
Ten thousand taels of silver will definitely be no problem."
"As for this ship that can go far across the ocean, you two already know that it only took half a month to go to North Korea, and I brought back three million taels of silver."
Liu Jin was also frightened by the performance of these two brothers. They were both honorable and could be calm. It would scare people to death if they were shouting like this.
"But your boat is too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
Zhang Heling couldn't help but shook his head and said.
"There is really no way to make it cheaper, because our boats are indeed worth the price. If you think they are expensive, you can build the boat yourself. If you build the boat yourself, you will know whether the boat costs that much."
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head. It was impossible to lower the price.
"Yes~"
"Brother, why can't we build our own ship?"
"Isn't it just shipbuilding? It's just a matter of piecing together some wood. With the money to buy a ship, we can set up a shipyard and build ships ourselves. In the future, we can sell each ship for tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Yanling also slammed the table. He didn't have the grace that a count should have at all, he was almost like a stupid young man.
"Yeah, why can't we build our own ship?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, he was slightly startled, and then asked himself.
