Upon hearing Hu Xian's words, both Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.
Is his appetite too big? He actually wants to imitate Tianjin Ocean Trading Company and organize armed forces to conquer overseas places in the world.
"Yes, Liu Jin can do it, why can't we do it."
Hu Xian nodded solemnly, then thought for a while and said: "However, it is obviously inappropriate for us to do this alone. First of all, we are now being watched and suppressed by the most important people."
"Secondly, our strength is too weak. If we want to conquer a country or region, we must have at least several thousand armed forces. We alone cannot do it."
"For this period of time, I have been studying Liu Jin and learning from him. I found that Liu Jin is very smart, very smart. He never does anything alone, but makes money together with everyone. The most important thing is
What’s more important is that he roped in the current emperor and prince, and the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty.”
"So even though Liu Jin is very rich, and even though Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has done all kinds of things overseas, no one, whether the emperor or the court, will say anything about Liu Jin."
"Because the biggest owners of Tianjin Ocean Trading House are the emperor and the prince. The more money they make, the more their superiors trust and like Liu Jin."
"The reason why we have always been suppressed and stared at is not because of the things we have done before."
"So, we have to learn more from Liu Jin. This profitable business should involve as many people as possible to do it together. If we have money, everyone will make money together and make the rice in the pot bigger together. Everyone will
Being able to eat more.”
"Instead of eating alone, if a person eats alone, he will eventually have nothing to eat."
Hu Xian felt this. These big families and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River were attacked by Emperor Hongzhi one after another. Now they are gradually understanding? Now if you want to go to the West to make a lot of money, you must learn from Liu Jin?
Join more people.
"So you invited Shouninghou and Jianchangbo?"
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. They were actually very anxious in their hearts.
The northerners have now risen in all fields, surpassing the Jiangnan people? If they don't work hard, all fields will be taken over.
"Right? The two of them are brainless? Liu Jin doesn't like them, so he hasn't brought them with him. Can we let them participate? With the two of them? It can be regarded as a connection with today's world.
.”
"Many things will be much easier to handle. When we conquer each country, this land will also belong to the Emperor of Heaven. When the time comes, we will hand over the majority of the profits to the Emperor? We will naturally be able to grow bigger slowly.
, become stronger.”
Hu Xian nodded and said.
"I think it will work~"
Zhu Benduan pondered for a while, thought carefully, nodded and said: "Although the Zhang brothers are idiots? But if they join, many things will be easier to handle."
"I heard that Ceylon is very small. The whole country is just an island, similar to our Ryukyu Island. But gems are produced on Ceylon Island? If we can conquer Ceylon? In the future, just digging gems on Ceylon will be a problem.
You can make a lot of money, a lot of money."
"And to capture Ceylon, I estimate that five thousand troops are enough. Liu Jin is here in Nanyang. I heard that when he attacked Malacca, he conquered Malacca with just one artillery attack, forcing the Malacca dynasty to
In compensation for ceding territory, a small country would pay 17 million taels of silver."
"Hu~hu~"
When Zhang Yuan and Feng Xiang heard this, they couldn't help but their eyes turned red. Then they said fiercely: "It's done, the world is very big, and many places are still very backward and primitive. They are all barbarian lands, and there are muskets."
, the cannon is enough to conquer easily, a profitable business."
"Hmm~"
Hu Xian nodded, then looked at everyone in the hall, it was almost time.
Then he came to the middle with a smile on his face. When everyone saw it, they immediately stopped talking and looked at him.
“Everyone, thank you for your honor and coming to participate in the Chamber of Commerce~”
Hu Xian smiled and bowed slightly to everyone.
"I have two pieces of good news to share with you. Maybe you all already know it."
"The first good news is that Marquis Taiping has returned from the Western Ocean. He also arrived in Songhu the day before yesterday. Marquis Taiping's trip to the Western Ocean not only opened up the Western maritime trade route for us, but also opened up the Western maritime trade routes for us.
We have a deeper understanding of the West."
"Here, I propose that we all raise a toast together to thank the Marquis of Taiping for opening up the trade route across the sea, and to thank our great Ming Dynasty!"
Hu Xian picked up a glass, filled it with fine wine, and suggested loudly.
When everyone heard this, they also raised their wine glasses one after another, and everyone was very excited. Du Mingen opened up the Western trade route, and everyone's merchant ships can do business in the Western Sea. Nanyang is no longer so profitable.
Everyone is worried about the new golden navigation route.
"Cheers to Marquis Taiping~"
"Cheers to Ming Dynasty~"
Everyone raised their wine glasses one after another.
"Marquis Taiping came back from his westward trip this time and returned with a full load. The goods and gold and silver he brought back may be worth thirty million taels of silver!"
Hu Xian continued.
"Thirty million silver!"
"Huh~"
"Oh my god~"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe harder.
Although the people present were all the richest people in the Ming Dynasty, their eyes still turned red when they heard the figure of thirty million taels of silver. Everyone was rich, but it was absolutely impossible to be so rich.
This Du Mingen went to the West and brought back gold and silver jewelry worth thirty million taels of silver, pearls, agates, emeralds, etc. It was the same when he came back from the Golden Continent.
Everyone's eyes were red and their noses were sore.
"The second good news is that just today, I received news from the south that a ship has returned from Huanghuangzhou. More than fifty large ships have returned from Huanghuangzhou. Currently, they have
Once we arrive at Songhu, we will arrive in Tianjin soon."
Hu Xian was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and then told the second good news.
"Is there a ship coming back from Golden Continent?"
When Zhang Heling heard this, he couldn't help but jump up with excitement. He had organized a huge fleet to go to Golden Continent, but there had been no news. Now there is finally news.
"Why are there only fifty big ships?"
"When I first went there, the total number of ships owned by the major trading houses totaled thousands of ships, large and small."
When Li Chunyang heard this, he immediately said anxiously.
This is wrong. When we went there, there were thousands of ships with more than 100,000 people. Why did we only get fifty ships when we came back? What about the other ships?
"Yeah, what's going on here in Huangjinzhou?"
"There are too few ships coming back this time."
When the others heard this, they thought of the key point and asked anxiously.
"Everyone, everyone, please rest assured~"
"The ships and people we sent to Golden Continent were basically safe. According to people who came back, everyone basically arrived at Golden Continent very smoothly."
"The reason why only fifty large ships came back is because most of the ships and people are digging gold and silver mines here in Huangjinzhou. These fifty ships are bringing gold and silver back to the Ming Dynasty."
"Major commercial banks have discovered thousands of gold and silver mines, large and small, in Golden Continent. They have been looking for gold and silver mines and digging for gold and silver during this period, so they have no plans to come back all."
"Everyone, please rest assured that they will arrive in Tianjin soon. You can then ask your people in detail, and they will definitely report in detail."
"I can only tell you that the fleet you sent to the Golden Continent must have made a lot of money. There is a lot of gold and silver here in the Golden Continent. They not only sent gold and silver back, but they definitely need you to send more.
Hands over."
Hu Xian smiled and said, his words also made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
It was good if both the ship and the people were fine. Then everyone became excited, wanting to see how much gold and silver their men brought back.
"Everyone, Tian Erniu, the person in charge of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company in Golden Continent, in the past few months, he organized about 10,000 troops to conquer the Aztec Kingdom and Inca Empire here in Golden Continent."
"Tian Erniu asked people from the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire to build pyramids with gold and silver bricks to atone for their sins. It is said that from the Aztec Kingdom alone, they obtained gold and silver worth fifty million taels of silver!
"
Then, Hu Xian dropped another bombshell.
"Fifty million taels of silver?"
“Ten thousand people conquered two countries?”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but open their mouths again and were deeply shocked.
Really, I was deeply shocked.
Then, as expected, everyone's eyes began to turn red.
Just as an Aztec kingdom, Tian Erniu got more than 50 million taels of silver. If it was the Inca Empire, wouldn't Tian Erniu get hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver?
"Huh~"
"Huh~"
Everyone's breathing became heavier, and everyone's minds were filled with pyramids, mountains of gold, and mountains of silver piled up with gold and silver. This was the situation.
"Yes, I also received the news in advance. Soon, the fleet will arrive in Tianjin. The news will spread by then, and everyone under our command should also know the detailed process and results."
"This news is definitely not false. The two largest countries of Yin Shang descendants in Golden Continent were conquered by Tian Erniu. Not only did they gain huge wealth this time, but every year in the future, the people of these two countries
They must continue to mine gold and silver and build pyramids to atone for their sins."
"And this time, I heard that these two countries have sent people to come to our Ming Dynasty to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. Then you can take a look at those descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
