Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 477 Benefit distribution, second advance arrangement
Chapter 477 Benefit distribution, second advance arrangement
Soon, boxes were opened one by one.
Boxes of all kinds of things are displayed in front of you.
Jewelry and gold were secondary, and neither Fang Yuan nor Wang Gui looked down upon them.
There are still some medicinal materials that make Fang Yuan take action, but what is more exciting are some living saplings.
"Is this a tomato?"
Fang Yuan touched a seedling with some excitement.
"Yes, the locals described it the same as you said."
"And this chili pepper is similar to what you said."
Wang Shiyu nodded.
Before departure, Fang Yuan once told him.
Ask him to find some plants and describe their characteristics.
During that time, she hired local people to search for them at a high price and found three types in total.
Tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes!
Although he didn't know their role, Wang Shiyu still brought them back according to Fang Yuan's request.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but say yes again and again.
Wang Gui and Wang Shiyu looked on in surprise.
It’s just a few seedlings, do you need to be so excited?
Although I don’t like gold, silver and jewelry myself, the medicinal materials and shiny things I brought back are still quite attractive.
"Fang Yuan, are they worth your excitement?"
Wang Shiyu asked curiously.
"Worth it, very worth it."
"I don't need any of these things, I just want them."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Only he knows the importance of these things.
If it can be cultivated, its future value will be immeasurable and it will bring great benefits to people.
It can be said that as long as sweet potatoes are grown alive, the number of people who will naturally starve to death in the future will be greatly reduced.
"Okay."
Wang Shiyu didn’t understand, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
Everything she wanted was shipped back, and she made a lot of money.
This time I not only made countless money, but also brought back many rare treasures from the Western Regions.
After I come back, I will open a Western Region store specializing in selling things from the Western Regions. I believe it will definitely make a lot of money.
"Prime Minister, just pick a few items."
Fang Yuan stood up, looked at Wang Gui and said.
"Then I'm not welcome."
Wang Gui's eyes lit up and he walked aside.
Those are some precious medicinal materials, and they look very old at first glance.
Then Wang Gui picked two more sparkling things, both of which seemed to be of extraordinary value.
After picking three items, Wang Gui held something in both hands. Although his eyes were still a little reluctant to let go, he said enough.
"Poetry, except for sending the plants to Fang Mansion, the rest will be left to you to handle."
"Also, ask Miaoyan if they want anything, and if so, let them pick."
Fang Yuan said.
Maritime Silk Road What Fang Yuan wants most is to introduce some crops.
The second step is to take Datang’s things out, make some money, and then buy their things back.
In this way, not only the goal was achieved, but also a lot of money was made.
"Okay."
"But you should let others handle the matter. I prefer to go to sea."
Wang Shiyu smiled sweetly and was very happy.
Fang Yuan can leave these rare treasures in front of him to his disposal, which shows his trust in himself.
But I am tired of traveling thousands of miles back and forth, and I don’t want to deal with it any more, so let others handle it. After all, it’s all for selling.
When Wang Gui heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
Silly girl, if you don’t want to deal with it, leave it to our Wang family to handle it.
But he didn't say it out loud, Fang Yuan had already nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone else."
Fang Yuan has no objection.
When Wang Gui saw this, he could only sigh in his heart.
In the final analysis, these things still belong to Fang Yuan, and it is Fang Yuan who really makes the decision.
Although he wanted Wang Shiyu to hand over the handling power to the Wang family, he had to get Fang Yuan's consent.
Fang Yuan would definitely not give this kind of thing that could make a lot of money to the Wang family, and Wang Gui would not ask for boring questions.
"Ruyi, you can keep a close watch for a few days, and I'll ask Miao Yan to arrange the manpower."
Fang Yuan told Wu Ruyi to watch, and then left with Wang Shiyu and others.
"Okay, don't worry."
Wu Ruyi nodded heavily and immediately asked someone to close the box.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others returned to Chang'an City and separated from each other.
Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion, while Wang Shiyu and Wang Gui returned to Wang Family.
"Girl, there are so many good things, why don't you take some?"
When Wang Gui thought of those rare treasures, he was ready to move.
They are all good things, and they are all good things that I have never seen before.
Even if it is not sold, it is very comfortable to collect.
"My goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter if I want it or not."
Wang Shiyu shook his head and smiled calmly.
What she experienced along the way greatly improved her knowledge.
She knows that this world is not only the Tang Dynasty, but also many places.
On the way back, he also met people from other countries and couldn't understand their language.
I originally wanted to take a look, but I thought that Fang Yuan and others were waiting for me to go back, so I didn’t delay.
Otherwise, Wang Shiyu would like to explore and explore where it is and what the people there are like.
"You silly girl, if you don't want it, you can give it to your tribe."
Wang Gui said sadly.
"Uncle, this Silk Road is supported by Fang Yuan, and almost everything is done by Fang Yuan."
"I am responsible for the success of this, but if it weren't for me, someone would have succeeded, so I can't go too far."
"If my people want it, bear with me, if we invest next time, won't we get more returns?"
Wang Shiyu stopped and said seriously.
Wang Gui looked at Wang Shiyu with some surprise, feeling that this niece seemed to have changed.
Not only the tone of speaking, but also the expression on his face has changed, becoming more assertive.
"You're right, it's Uncle Menglang."
"Your success this time gives us hope. With you personally sailing, our Wang family will also get more opportunities."
Wang Gui pondered for a moment, thought about it and then said.
Yes, Wang Shiyu is right, you can get more returns on your next investment.
As long as Wang Shiyu is responsible for the sailing fleet, then the Wang family will receive a steady stream of rewards, and there is no need to focus on this time.
"Thank you for your understanding, uncle."
Wang Shiyu nodded and smiled.
"You have grown up and are very good."
"Go back and relax and dress up, then go to the palace with your uncle for a banquet in the evening."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Gui smiled.
The two of them returned to the Wang family side by side.
As everyone brought the news back one after another, news of the success of the Maritime Silk Road spread.
Few people know about the beginning of the Maritime Silk Road, but not everyone knows about it. All the children of high-ranking officials and noble families know about it.
When more people learned about the Maritime Silk Road, they all started talking about the importance of the Maritime Silk Road.
Thinking of the importance of the land Silk Road, people immediately marveled at the importance of the maritime Silk Road.
People were even more shocked when they heard that countless rare treasures had been brought back.
"The land Silk Road has made great contributions throughout the ages, but does the same apply to the Maritime Silk Road?"
"Shilang Fang single-handedly built the Maritime Silk Road, and his achievements are lasting. Isn't it time for a promotion?"
“I’m really looking forward to what the Maritime Silk Road will bring back and whether it will change our lives.”
People are talking a lot.
Everyone is curious about what the Maritime Silk Road brought back.
As if to satisfy people's curiosity, Du Miaoyan opened a store the day after the shipment came back.
The store is not doing business, but there are all kinds of goods shipped back from the Western Regions in the store, all of which are rare and not found in the Tang Dynasty.
For a time, people flocked to the scene, and the door was crowded, and they watched it one after another.
"Big news!"
"The institute stated that the Maritime Silk Road brought back three crops, one of which is comparable to rice and wheat. If it can be successfully grown, the number of people who naturally starve to death will be greatly reduced in the future, and the days when people are hungry will no longer exist!" Suddenly, someone shouted in the downtown area.
The sound came one after another and soon reached everyone's ears.
For a moment, people were silent, and then they became crazy, both of which were unbelievable.
The institute has moved out, but those who are unwilling to move are still in Chang'an City, and Fang Yuan has not stopped their research.
The three plants are currently sent to the research institute for cultivation, so that they can ensure the growth of those three plants in the best way.
Then under the command of Du Miaoyan, they announced the three plants today and told the world.
She wants to create a king now, let more people know about Fang Yuan, and make achievements for Fang Yuan.
"What fetish?"
"What kind of fetish is it?"
People were completely shocked and wanted to take a look.
But apart from announcing this news, the institute has no intention of letting people watch.
At the same time, Li Shimin, who was in the palace, also learned the news.
When we hosted a banquet for the ministers last night, everyone had a great time drinking.
But Fang Yuan only said that the harvest was good, but did not say what the harvest was.
"Pass on Fang Yuan, I want to ask clearly!"
Li Shimin was impatient and immediately announced Fang Yuan.
It is comparable to rice and wheat, it is definitely a great artifact.
Since he took the throne, there has not been a day when the people were not hungry.
In this case, Li Shimin hopes to produce more food than anyone else.
Not long after, Fang Yuan arrived.
"It's exactly what the institute said."
"But I thought the training had not been successful and I didn't explain it in advance."
Fang Yuan admitted and explained.
He didn't even know that the institute would announce it.
It was probably Du Miaoyan's intention, and she asked people from the institute to announce it.
"I want to see it."
Li Shimin said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, it is currently being cultivated. If too many people come into contact with it, it will easily fail."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Okay."
"Why does the institute announce it in advance?"
"With all the commotion now, what should we do if someone has evil intentions?"
Li Shimin felt regretful and then frowned slightly.
Now the entire Chang'an City is discussing this matter, but Fang Yuan said that it is still being cultivated.
What if the training is not successful in the end, what will happen to yourself and the expectations of the people?
And it may also make the opposition forces take risks.
"Sorry, I turned around and criticized them."
Fang Yuan apologized.
"When will the Second Maritime Silk Road start?"
Li Shimin continued to ask.
Because of the success of the first time, he is now eager to start a second time.
If you didn’t make any money the first time, you must make more good things the second time.
"Your Majesty, things are rare and valuable. We have just traveled to the Western Regions and the things have not been digested yet. We will start again in at least three months."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
On the one hand, goods need to be digested and spread in the Western Regions, letting more people know that Datang is operating the Maritime Silk Road.
On the other hand, Wang Shiyu has been tired for such a long time, so she needs to have a good rest and check if there are any problems with the ship.
"Three months...what do you think?"
Li Shimin was slightly disappointed.
Three months, plus the round trip time and distribution time, it means that more than half a year has passed.
Half a year is a bit long, but it’s not a long time and it’s still within the acceptable range.
"I will build two more ships, for a total of seven ships."
"Among them, my business will occupy two ships, and the rest will be distributed by Your Majesty and the princes."
"But your Majesty and the princes will give me 10% of their income, which will be considered as my shipping fee."
Fang Yuan said his thoughts.
After the first success, it is impossible to start the second and third times by yourself.
Even if he wants to live alone, the emperor and other ministers will not agree. The resistance will be very, very strong, after all, the interests are so great.
Moreover, Fang Yuan never thought that he could swallow up such a huge benefit. Only by making money with everyone can we coexist with mutual benefit.
"Five ships... Then I also want two ships, and the rest will be allocated by themselves."
Li Shimin murmured, and then his eyes became sharp.
There are seven ships in total, and Fang Yuan is the master, so it makes perfect sense to occupy two ships.
There are five ships left, and since I am the emperor, it makes sense to occupy two more ships.
The remaining three are a bit small, but I believe they have to endure their opinions.
"This is up to His Majesty to decide."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He only wants two ships, and Li Shimin will arrange the rest.
This is a transfer of risk, and people who have opinions will only have opinions about Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin is the emperor, so even if he has an opinion, he probably won't dare to make it too obvious.
This is a perfect plan for Fang Yuan and the Maritime Silk Road.
"In this case, I will tell the world that the Maritime Silk Road has officially begun!"
"Anyone who feels that he has special products in his hands can apply to the court, and those who pass will come with special products and take them overseas for trading."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and then said loudly.
He is an emperor. In addition to making money, he also thinks about the style of a great country.
He wants overseas countries to know that Datang is a land of abundance, with a vast land and abundant resources, and everything is available.
If the goods sent from the world can be sold overseas, then the imperial court will strongly support it, and there is no need for the imperial court to think about what to sell.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but give Li Shimin a thumbs up.
In this way, it is equivalent to providing a platform for people across the country to buy.
If someone's things are popular, then promote that person's things, similar to the certain treasures and certain things of later generations.
Regarding this, Fang Yuan regretted that he did not think of such a good way.
But in fact, even if he thought about it, Fang Yuan would not execute it.
Because of the disagreement, I don’t have to continue doing some of the benefits.
Next, Li Shimin announced to the world that the Maritime Silk Road was officially opened.
Among them, he also expressed the importance of the Maritime Silk Road in the announcement.
For a time, the whole country responded, and many aristocratic families and common people took action to apply to the court.
Compared with the response from all over the country, the dignitaries in Chang'an City were filled with joy and sorrow because they were troubled by the three ships assigned by Li Shimin.
