Chapter 1080 The Future Can Be Expected
At this time, Zhang Song turned around and gave them an idea.

The farther south you go, the hotter the weather and the higher the grain yield.If you want to get more food, you should support the development of Jiangnan, Jiaozhou, and even overseas expeditions.

It is said that Rinan, Jiuzhen and other places in Jiaozhou have three crops a year, and the rice output is extremely high.As long as the imperial court can regain Jiaozhou and transport the rice from Jiaozhou to the Central Plains, the food problem will naturally be solved, and the restrictions on wine making will be gone.

In addition, although the people in Nanyang are rich, their ability to consume high-end wine is limited.If you want to make more profits, you should take a long-term view and find ways to sell these good wines to more places.

Such as Liaodong.

Why do you say Liaodong?Firstly, the climate in Liaodong is cold and there is more demand for wine.Second, you can go to Liaodong by sea, and the transportation cost is the lowest.

Wine is not afraid of spoilage, and it doesn't matter if it takes a long time to transport it. It is suitable for sea transportation.

In addition, the sea is lonely, and people who go to sea also need wine.

Finally, there is another point. Although Liaodong is poor, it has a large number of high-quality furs, pearls and other goods that the Central Plains did not have.Preliminary estimates, if you send wine and buy it back, the profit will be at least ten times that of selling wine in Nanyang.

Cai Mao and others woke up like a dream, and their thighs were swollen from patting.

Why didn't they think of such a way?
Immediately, someone asked a question: Shipping by sea is cheap, but the risk is high. If the ship sinks, you will lose everything.

Zhang Song smiled mysteriously, you can buy a new type of sea boat.

Captain Yuzhang's new sea-going ship is about to be successfully developed. It is larger than ordinary ships and is more resistant to wind and waves, so it can travel on the sea.With astrology navigation, there is no need to drive along the coast, and the voyage is shorter.

At present, these ships have not yet started to be sold to the outside world. First place an order and pick up the ship first. If you buy it, you will earn money.

With the blessing of huge profits, Zhang Song's ugly face became extremely cute in the eyes of Cai Mao and others, even shining golden.

They changed their previous attitude and gathered around Zhang Song for advice.

Zhang Song finally reminded them that technical problems are easy to solve, but there is one problem that you must pay attention to.

Whether you go to Jiaozhou or Liaodong, there will always be pirates.The greater the profit, the more rampant the pirates.If you want to make money with peace of mind, you must support the imperial court to build a powerful navy, and you must support the emperor, so that the emperor has enough strength to deter the generals of the navy and let them become your protectors instead of plucking the feathers.

Therefore, a strong imperial court is the confidence for you to make a fortune.If you only think about your own little interests and don't hesitate to damage the interests of the court, you won't be able to go far.No matter how much money they make, they will be forcibly divided just like the fields they bought before.

Cai Mao and others thought so.

-

Zhang Song successfully completed the task.

Cai Mao and others not only agreed to control production, but also paid for new sea-going ships to support the imperial court in developing Jiangnan and conquering overseas.

After reading the minutes of the meeting and understanding Zhang Song's persuasion strategy, Yang Biao once again lamented that the Son of Heaven knows people well.

Zhang Song's method of handling this matter is similar to that of Liu Ba, but his vision is wider than Liu Ba's, and he does not have the arrogance of a scholar-bureaucrat.

He was able to win the support of Cai Mao and others because he looked at the problem from their standpoint, not just as the object of management.

"This is very like the emperor." After listening to Yang Biao's story, Zhao Wen said with relief: "My trip to Yizhou has finally achieved something."

Yang Biao didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed. "Your Majesty really took a lot of thought to appease us veterans."

Zhao Wen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Yang Biao is right.

For the three of them, the emperor promoted Yang Xiu, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song respectively.If there is no accident, after thirty years, these people will all become ministers and become the pillars of the imperial court.

They inherited the behest of the veterans, but they did not follow the rules and were greatly influenced by the emperor.In the future, cooperation with the emperor will inevitably be more tacit.

In the prosperous age, they became reality in their hands, and they were more powerful than Wenjing and Zhaoxuan before, and it was even possible to realize the kingly way that Confucianism had been looking forward to for hundreds of years.

"Your Majesty's far-sightedness is beyond my reach." Zhao Wen said quietly: "In my opinion, Shi Sun Junrong may have seen through this point a long time ago, so he has no obsession with the position of Taiwei."

"He is younger after all." Yang Biao smiled meaningfully.

-

Liu Xie is also very satisfied with Zhang Song's work.

He suggested that Situ Mansion write an article about the process of this negotiation and publish it in the mansion newspaper, so that more people could know the whole story.

The benefits of convincing people with reason are self-evident.Zhang Song made a good start, not only solving the problem, but also showing the sincerity of the court.

Those who have been ridiculing the imperial court's saving land is competing with the people for profit can finally shut up.

If it is only for profit, Gu Que is obviously easier to achieve than Du Tian.

Facts speak louder than words. Even if there are still people who insist on this argument, there will be fewer and fewer people who can be influenced by them.

In addition to fame, the court also gained real benefits.

The Yuzhang ship officer received orders for several large ships.

With the addition of manpower, the progress of sea-going ship research and development has been greatly accelerated, but the cost has also risen sharply.Before the emergence of real products, these were all supported by funds allocated by the imperial court, and a large part was included in military expenditures, which had to be raised by Liu Xie himself.

Except for a small part of the money earned by the weaving workshop and printing workshop controlled by Fushou, Xun Wenqian and others, which was reserved for the daily expenses of the palace, most of it was invested in the bottomless pit of the Yuzhang boat officer.

With the order and the addition of fresh blood, even Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xie readily agreed to the request of Cai Mao and others, and arranged for the Yuzhang ship officer to prepare for production.

The new type of sea-going ship is put into use, not only can establish a sea route to Jiaozhou and Liaodong, but also can greatly shorten the contact distance with Liu Bei, and make material preparations for the integration of Sanhan and Dongwa.

In order to avoid Sun Ce's worry, Liu Xie sent someone to send some fine wine to Sun Ce and explained it.

Building merchant ships first is not to delay the pace of overseas conquests, but to prepare for overseas conquests.Accompanied by merchant ships, it can not only provide material transportation services for the army, but also provide part of the military salary to reduce the burden of carrying out.

In the long run, any expedition is inseparable from business. Businesses that lose money will not last long, and only expeditions that can bring benefits can continue.

With Merchant Escort, you can go even further.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions is the most typical example.Without the benefits brought by the trade route, it is impossible for them to go that far.

-

In addition to fame and fortune, Liu Xie has even greater gains.

In mid-July, Liu Xian sent a message.

After his unremitting efforts, after weighing the pros and cons of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, they chose to cooperate with the imperial court and accept Du Tian.

The problem now is that they are responsible for this year's cultivation. Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, they are reluctant to give up the benefits they will soon get, and hope to farm again after the autumn harvest is completed.

For this reason, they are willing to pay rent according to the actual amount of land they occupy.

That is to say, for the imperial court, it is not beneficial to save the land, and the land rent that should be received is not a lot, but the part of the income that should have been given to the people must be left to them.

This is of course a very slick statement. According to the current rent and tax standards, there are actually not many land rents that need to be handed over to the court.

However, after discussing with Yang Biao and others, Liu Xie still accepted this plan.

Solving problems without bloodshed is more important than those land rents.If you really want to use force, the land rent collected is not enough for the army to consume.
