After walking out of the Songjiang government office, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) couldn't help but tremble with joy all over his body.
He took over the 500,000 acres of tidal flats outside Chongming Island. In addition, Yu Deshui had previously entrusted more than 30 people to buy up the island. Now at least 40% of Chongming Island belongs to him.
Moreover, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) also ordered Qiao Yan to "cannibalize" purchases on both sides of the river's estuary...
"Don't look at the current "Shanghai" as a dirty and smelly small town. I will definitely develop it into the most prosperous and awesome city in this era... What is the concept of owning a city... It is really exciting...
"
What Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) didn't expect was that this Kangxi kid actually had "the big picture of the world".
Recover Taiwan, suppress the Japanese in the east, occupy Annan and the Indian plains in the south, and control the Strait of Malacca... In this way, the whole world will be opened up.
The most important thing is that he actually attached great importance to business, which was already very "avant-garde" in the Qing Dynasty.
As for going to the "Firework Island" of Annan for development, it is like a nail being hammered into Southeast Asia. He is simply the most suitable candidate.
When Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) served as a special forces soldier in later generations, his main scope of activities was in Southeast Asia.
He knows Annan, the Indian plains and the Indian Ocean better than his own hometown.
Attack Annan, occupy India, seize Malacca, embrace the Indian Ocean...
Oh my gosh, thinking about it makes me excited.
Although looking at the overall structure, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) still has not escaped the fate of being a "chess piece".
But this time, even though he knew he was a "chess piece", he did it willingly.
Head all the way to the southwest, "looting" all the way.
In the name of the deputy commander of the "Tianweiying", officials are squeezed, not only for gold, silver and treasures... but most importantly for talents.
As long as there is a little bit of skill, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) will accept it.
By the time he arrived in Guangzhou, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) had thousands more people and more than 300 large carriages and goods.
At Tianzi Wharf in Guangzhou, Aunt Sumala, who was exiled to the overseas "Happiness Island", is waiting.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) had to hand over half of the "robbed" goods to Aunt Sumala, and at the same time, he had to hand over his wife Baochai.
This is also done willingly.
When he went to Annan's "Firework Island", the emperor made it clear that he must go by land.
In this way, you can have a panoramic view of everything in Annan along the way.
However, this journey must be very difficult, and Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) doesn't want Baochai to take this risk with a big belly.
Moreover, it was agreed that half of the belongings given to Aunt Sumala belonged to Baochai. This was also the main purpose of Baochai following him all the way.
You can't go out without money.
In Shanghai, this was the reason why Baochai was not allowed to board the ship.
The five large-scale ships used by Aunt Sumala for her "long journey" were built by the little emperor with a lot of money.
From a historical perspective and a realistic perspective, this is a woman worthy of the gift of Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw Aunt Sumala sitting upright on a couch.
Oh my god!
Isn’t this that of Liu Shi Shiling, a famous Hong Kong star in later generations?
Rich and beautiful!
Xue Baochai told Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) in coded sign language, "Aunt Sumala is here."
Can you tell by wearing a robe that looks like a big suit?
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s brain immediately spun at high speed.
Let me tell you, Su Ma was working well as the Empress Dowager's personal maid in the palace, but why did she suddenly clash with the Emperor and be sent to the "Happiness Island"...
Now the doubts are suddenly cleared.
It turns out that the little emperor "pregnant" Aunt Sumala, and now he is sending his "master" to the "Happy Island".
No matter whether Su Ma's child is a boy or a girl, they are all born "masters".
What a calculation!
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) could not help but admire the little emperor's "far-sightedness".
"Happiness Island" is the Sumatra Island in Indonesia in later generations, plus the Fugui Island in front of it. In this way, the little emperor wedged two big "nails" in Southeast Asia!
Although La Gu Su Ma was nameless and had no status, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) still knelt down and worshiped Su Ma as a noble concubine.
In the eyes of the little emperor, this woman is more noble than a noble concubine.
It is appropriate to kneel down and worship.
"Master Marquis, get up. Madam is pregnant, traveled a long distance, and brought so much gold and silver jewelry. Thank you for your hard work. They are all exiles... From now on, Madam will be my biological sister."
Su Ma had lived in the palace for a long time, and had the "great god" the Empress Dowager, who taught her through words and deeds, so she made full use of the imperial arts.
Winning people's hearts is a compulsory course!
Even so, it still sounds comforting.
At this time, the female official of Lagu Sumala came in to report that Yu Chenglong, the new governor of Guangzhou, asked for an audience.
Hearing the words "Yu Chenglong", Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was stunned at first.
First "Yao Qisheng", then "Yu Chenglong", two of the top ten famous officials under Kangxi in history appeared, and they were both placed in the most important positions in Southeast Asia. This was a sure-fire victory in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, these two are capable ministers, "big men" who can bring peace to the world when they mount their horses, and rule the world when they dismount.
Yu Chenglong also has a skinny appearance, similar to Yao Qisheng, but with an extra aquiline nose.
After paying homage to Aunt Sumala, he bowed to Baoyu (burning small stone).
After sitting down, without even exchanging a few words, we turned to the formal topic.
"Master Marquis, the purpose of Xiaguan's trip is to ask for advice on how to build the wharf in Guangzhou Prefecture."
"Bring it!"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) almost put his arm on Yu Chenglong's big aquiline nose.
"Master Hou, what are you..."
"Ten thousand taels of silver."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? Everything has a price. My suggestion is ten thousand taels of silver a piece."
"I heard that the wealthy nobles were greedy for money, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless! Fortunately, I was prepared..." Yu Chenglong cursed in his heart.
Yu Chenglong took out a roll of silver notes from his arms and placed it on the tea table, but was met with contemptuous eyes by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
"Are you fooling me? You know that I am going to Fireworks Island. Where are these banknotes? Are you going to exchange them for cash with the Lord of Hell? Those black South Pearls in your purse are quite good. Just give me a few whole ones.
Already."
"Nothing can escape the eyes of the Marquis... However, I would like to know, how did the Marquis know that I have ten top-quality southern pearls in my purse?"
Yu Chenglong asked as he shook out ten round black South Pearls from his purse.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) came closer and asked Zhui in a low voice: "Can Yufutai keep this secret for me?"
"sure."
"I can also..."
"It's over?"
"It's over. Didn't I say that I can also keep this secret?"
"Hahaha... The official will not ask this anymore..." Yu Chenglong pushed the Nanzhu on the tea table in front of Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and continued, "All ten Nanzhu were given to the Marquis, Xiaguan
I want to have a long talk with Mr. Hou."
"You know how to pick up the slack, don't you know that knowledge is power... Forget it, just suffer some losses... If you want to build Guangzhou, you must first develop fisheries and commerce. The big fish in the sea are full of treasures, and fish meat can
To cure famine and improve life, fish bones can be ground into powder...the skin can be made into precious leather...As for business, the first thing is to reduce taxes. Only by making businessmen rich can money make money, and money begets money..."
"Will this... reduce tax revenue?"
"No. It's just like fish farming... In the past, we charged heavy taxes on businessmen, which was like draining the pond... If we open up the entire pond, if there are more fish, we will catch more fish..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) talks eloquently, explaining politics, economics, military and many other aspects, regardless of whether Yu Chenglong understands or not.
Anyway, it was ten southern pearls, which he "consumed" with Jackie Chan.
Finally, he took out a newly drawn construction map of Guangzhou City and said boldly: "The future Guangzhou City should look like this."
Looking at the "New Map of Guangzhou", Yu Chenglong roared: "Why is there no city wall? What should I do if the enemy comes?"
"Why do you let the enemy attack? Yufutai, don't you know that the best defense is to attack?"
"The best defense is offense...Okay, well said! Lord Marquis, I want your shipbuilding skills..."
"Okay, get the money!"
Yu Chenglong looked at the long "claw" stretched out by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), and roared again: "You have to exchange money for everything... Lord Hou is not short of money, why are you so greedy?"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) then said sternly: "I just want to tell you that everything has value. Only if you give it a high price can the owner really contribute it. Only in this way can we get more."
More and better things, including technology. Only in this way can Guangzhou truly develop."
Yu Chenglong was silent, his head buzzing.
Although it is some very simple economic knowledge, for Jackie Chan, it is simply too profound and shocking.
He could only digest it slowly.
"Okay..." Yu Chenglong fiddled with it for a while, took out a black pearl as big as an egg, placed it on the tea table with a longing, turned around and left.
Run away quickly.
Otherwise, this guy who eats fish without spitting out the bones wouldn't have left all the wealth he has saved over the years here.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) closed his eyes and played with the "King of Southern Pearls" for a while, then walked out of the cabin and said to Mingyan who was guarding outside: "Give this to Yu Chenglong and send it back to Yufutai."
Ming Yan frowned and said: "I've already sent it here, how can there be any reason to take it back? Besides, Yu Chenglong may not dare to take it back..."
"A gentleman does not take away someone's love... Send him back, he will understand. In addition, give him another five hundred thousand taels of silver notes... In addition, let Yu Chenglong send a few more core disciples of his clan to the ship."
"Second Master, what are you..."
"The most reliable relationship in this world is the interest relationship... I have tied the interests of Yu Chenglong and even the emperor with us. Only in this way can our ship truly sail far away."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) spoke very loudly, but he was actually speaking to Aunt Sumala in the cabin.
