The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 166 Preparation One
Since the daughter-in-law at home acquiesced, Hei Wa entered the palace to ask for an order.

"Aiqing, have you really made up your mind?" Xia Hongdi was conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that if Uncle Zhongqin could go with him, there might be unexpected surprises.On the one hand, he felt very guilty. He didn't even dare to think about how much Uncle Zhongqin had contributed to the imperial court and how big the overseas risks were.

"Your Majesty, I am good at farming. No one knows better than me what is suitable for growing rice and what is suitable for growing wheat in this overseas land. Maybe I can bring something else to the Great Xia Dynasty to fill my stomach. The good seed is back!"

How could Xia Hongdi refuse such a reason?
Excitedly pulling Hei Wa, he briefly talked about the various plans for the voyage, and asked Hei Wa to help him think about it and make supplements.

Hei Wa said that she needs to go back to her home, and after careful planning, she will submit a memorial.

"Uncle, I'm going too!" Only now did Zhao Leiting know Hei Wa's decision, and he resolutely declared his position and vowed to follow him to the death.

"I can't tell when I will come back, but you are engaged."

"I will discuss it with my father-in-law. There are still three years before we get married. Uncle, if my father-in-law agrees, can you not take me?"

"Okay, as long as your father-in-law has no objection, I'll agree!" In Heiwa's heart, the accident or tomorrow may come first. If a man doesn't go out when he is young, should he wait until he is old?
In order to make this travel plan, he had to arrange his work and rest time well.

From this day on, after dinner every night, Hei Wa began to read various materials and write plans in the study of the space. Except for the daily coaxing of his wife, he almost retreated.

"Daughter-in-law, don't tell me, the Sinan of the Great Xia Dynasty is no worse than the outdoor compass we bought before. I compared it for a long time, and it is accurate!"

"Heh! If you have the ability, you can use artificial GPS!" The cold war is no longer there, and people change the route of intersex.

"Don't be a man at sea, daughter-in-law, I need your help with a problem. Have you heard of scurvy, the killer on the seafaring road, caused by vitamin deficiency! There are no small pills here, so what should I do? "

"You become a lemon tree, pick a few lemons and drink water every day!"

"Daughter-in-law, be reasonable!"

"Soybeans, let's sprout bean sprouts, it's fast and convenient! Bring the rest of the vegetable seeds, put the nutritious soil in a wooden box, and grow vegetables on the boat, the vitamin content of pepper is also high!"

As she talked, Cuihua's thoughts opened up, and she carefully recalled the special products of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"There are a lot of dried fruits. There are really lemons in Daxia Dynasty. They are called citrons. The slices are sun-dried and soaked in water. They are the king of vitamins!"

"Tea leaves, too!"

"Look, my mother-in-law, how smart you are, you will know if there is one as soon as you make a move!"

"Hehe, I believe in you!"

Hei Wa was very proud, and made supplements to the plan. He focused on the three words life jacket. The Titanic could sink the ship!

What kind of material is the lifejacket reliable?
The next day, Hei Wa approached Lao Yuantou, who was still in Dali Village, and discussed for a long time, intending to ask Lao Dae to test and make various life jackets for him.

Old Yuan was blown up as soon as he heard it, and disagreed with Hei Wa's going to sea:

"Our family now has a title, a village, and no worries about food and drink. How many years do you want to repair this house, and you can still tinker with porcelain? Why do you have to go to sea to suffer? Your father is fifty this year. How many years can you live?"

"Father, His Majesty has agreed, and will make an order in the near future. Your son may be one of the leaders who went to sea this time. Can we go back on our word?"

"You're going to piss me off, aren't you? You've only been back for a few years for your birthday? Do you think your father and I have gray hair yet!"

"You are so good at making this jigsaw puzzle. You will definitely live another 30 years. Dad, you can do more, and my son will help you sell it overseas! Children overseas must also be rare!"

"Really? Can it be sold overseas? Don't try to fool me, I don't agree with you!"

Hei Wa patiently tortured the old man's head all morning, until he lost his temper, drooped his face, and went to work hard for his son.

The Royal Ceramics Research and Development Center also started to get busy. A large number of famille rose porcelain was fired, and a large number of orders were placed for blue and white porcelain kilns. This is a unique business.

Not only did porcelain start to make big moves, but silk merchants, tea shops, silver houses, and many embroidery workshops also found their way one after another.

Who doesn't know that last time, Mr. Gao went to Dongying and returned with a lot of food. They also hope that their products can be purchased by the court.

After a large amount of merchant information was gathered into Xia Hongdi's hands, Xia Hongdi asked Wei Shangshu and Hei Wa to have a meeting.

"Let's take a look, two lovers, how should these merchants choose their products, and how should they price them?"

Old man Wei has been tempered in the past few years, and he is not relentless in picking up money. He looked at Uncle Zhongqin earnestly, expressing that he wanted to hear good opinions.

Uncle Zhongqin looked into the eyes of these two people and expressed the pressure. He sighed in his heart and had to continue to help out: "Your Majesty, the imperial court does not necessarily have to buy these goods. There are not a few of these big merchants who have seagoing ships. If they are willing to sell their products overseas, they can go with our navy!"

"Then the court didn't make any money?" Old man Wei felt that he was at a loss, and he took this group of people to sea together, and the court didn't take advantage of it.

"Who says you can't make money? Escorts don't cost military money? They go out with our navy, why are they afraid of pirates and water bandits? Follow them and pick up ready-made ones. After we establish diplomatic relations with overseas countries, their products will not be too good. Sold it!"

"How do you charge for this escort fee?" Xia Hongdi became interested. He didn't need to occupy his seagoing ship, and he didn't have to worry about buying and selling. It was a pure profit.

"How about [-]% of Daxia's price? If sea merchants sell these products overseas, the profit will definitely be dozens of times higher. But anyone who has the guts should not refuse. Moreover, we can also ask for [-]% Those who exchange escort expenses for food will be given priority!"

"My lord, Your Majesty, this method is good. There are so many ships, it also shows that we are strong! Moreover, the escort fee is very good. The grain exchanged for [-]% of the price can be used by the navy for more than half of the sea voyage. used!"

"Then what about the regulations for the accompanying merchant ship?" Xia Hongdi was very moved. What he lacked now was not gold and silver, but food!

"First of all, there must be requirements for the ship itself. It needs to meet the standard of being able to sail long distances, and let the craftsmen of the shipyard go to help inspect it.

Secondly, the number cannot be more than the number of ships in the navy. After all, it is the first time to buy and sell, and the route has not been figured out yet. If there are too many ships, the target will be big. If there is a problem, the navy will not care about so many!
Finally, the products should be divided into several categories, and the merchants with the best quality should be selected. Since they are sold overseas, we can’t smash our signboards. The essence of merchants is honest transactions! "

Wei Shangshu kept nodding his head. Young people are smart enough to get to the point.

"I leave this matter to you, Aiqing, I will work hard for you in the past six months!" Xia Hongdi couldn't help but stood up, walked back and forth, and finally patted Heiwa on the shoulder, prudently entrusting her.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, it was such a joy to pluck the rich man's wool.

After entering the palace, he took on another job for himself, and even Cuihua got busy.

Shopping is a job, especially related to enjoyment, in fact, women are better at it.

When the imperial court let the merchants prepare their own ships and take their goods to sea with the navy, the maritime merchants in the whole Daxia were boiling, and the sacred decree was posted in every government office of the Daxia Dynasty within half a month.

The requirements for attracting investment and the escort fees that need to be paid are also clearly stated, and there is no deception!
The Great Xia Dynasty has been closed to the outside world for more than 200 years. The range of activities of maritime merchants can reach Southeast Asia at most, and they are mainly smuggled immigrants. How many generations have been aggrieved.

As soon as the heavy news from the imperial court came out, all maritime merchants with such strength were moved.They either intend to buy from silk merchants, porcelain merchants, or tea merchants, or they may join forces to ship and ship goods for cooperation. They must be bundled into groups to increase their own competitiveness.

The helmsman has already rushed to the capital, and the only way to get a pass is to come here.

The soles of the concierge's shoes in Uncle Zhongqin's mansion were almost ruined, and there were hundreds of greeting cards every day, so they had to be packed in big baskets.

There is such a point of view in the famous "Das Kapital":
When the profit reaches 10%, they will be just around the corner;
When the profit reaches 50%, they will take the risk;
When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all the laws of the world;
When the profit hit 300%, they dared to risk hanging.

Those who have a maritime foundation, no one knows, the huge profit, which is far more than three times the profit, the two wars between the Great Xia Navy and the Dongying people, and the compensation obtained after the war, who can know?

"Father, our jigsaw puzzles and comic books will also be sold overseas!" The prince ran to find the back door with a group of six accompanying readers.

"How much do you sell your comic strips for? Can you afford a boat?"

"Uncle Zhongqin, Gu has already made an agreement with Gu's uncle, he will help us find a boat."

"If this is the case, then your books can't just carry comic strips. Our Four Books and Five Classics are also national treasures. It's better to find some manuscripts of great Confucians, let them stamp their private seals, and then make a separate book for each book. Wooden boxes made of precious wood, and in these boxes, the background and achievements of great Confucians will be explained one by one."

"Wow, are those overseas people, once they hear that this is a book copied by a famous person in my Great Xia Dynasty, their value will be doubled?"

"Children can be taught! As for whether it was written by the Great Confucianism himself, you need to communicate with the Great Confucianism. This will help them become famous overseas, don't you think?"

"Hahaha, all of our husbands are great Confucians!"

"Uncle, can we also use some precious wood to make more expensive puzzles?"

"That's right, you have to know how to infer other things from one instance, and you should think about it later, whether the content of this jigsaw puzzle sold to overseas countries should be changed, anyway, there is still half a year left, so don't worry.

This product of yours can be regarded as the only one, as long as you are willing to pay the escort fee, I call the shots and give you a spot! "

"Father, we don't have that much food, can the escort fee be waived?" Yuan Wenwu blinked pitifully, pretending to be good!
"That can't be done, your father is going to do this, how can you convince the public? Don't underestimate the information and contacts of merchants, this matter must be done according to the rules!
If you follow the rules, your father can help you choose the goods when the time comes, and you can exchange the money you get from selling books and puzzles into Daxia's bestsellers, earning money twice! "

Several teenagers looked at each other, and finally looked at the prince together.

"Okay!" This time, not only can I take Uncle's free boat, but I can also take advantage of Uncle Zhongqin. If you don't want to pay only [-]% of the escort fee, you may be a big fool.

They hurriedly discussed, besides their husband, who other great scholars could be persuaded by them, and planned to bother Cai Jijiu and discuss the packaging of books.

Several people were talking in full swing, and they didn't care about eating. From Qin Ke, who was the most active in coming to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion to eat, to the crown prince, who cared the least about making money, they were all blushing with excitement.
