Chapter 532 Ocean Trade
When Huang Shang said it was a benefit he had never seen before, Huang Jinyuan's eyes lit up, and even Huang Feng became excited.

Huang Jinyuan said: "How can you give away the money you got?"

Huang Shang frowned and said, "You can't let one person earn all the money. How much energy will you have to spend to deal with the 'ghosts' from all directions?"

Huang Jinyuan thought for a while and said: "If there is a 'ghost', we have to wait until we see it before we talk about it."

He just wants to make some money because he has no hope of becoming an official in the imperial examination. How can he not make a lot of money himself?
It's normal to have competition, and it's normal to have vicious competition. I understand the use of some shameful means, and it's not like I've never seen it before.I'm afraid that these people can just lie down in Huangjia Village without worrying about food and clothing, so why bother to go out and run around.

Making money is fun, spending money is even more fun, and stepping on those who want to use unfair means to make money is the most fun.

He didn't know how profitable ocean trading would be, but after seeing Huang Shang's martial arts, he had full confidence in this deal.

It was also because he saw Huang Shang's martial arts that he was willing to give up the benefits he had obtained.His calculation was that if he failed, Huang Shang would be there to protect him. In his eyes, the 16-year-old Huang Shang was already capable of anything.

Huang Shang planned this deal just casually to find a way out for the family, but he didn't want to spend too much energy on it.Why use force when a problem can be solved with money?Even if you take action yourself, it will never be for money, and you won't be able to pay for it no matter how much money you have.

Huang Shang and Huang Jinyuan were two different people. No one could explain the other, so Huang Shang could only give up.

No one understands Huang Shang, not even Li Canghai.If you were not greedy for money, you would not design such a hugely profitable deal. Why would you take the initiative to give away your profits to others if you are greedy for money?
Li Canghai is a person who really doesn't take money seriously and is not short of money. She will never want to make money, not even if she makes more or less.

Huang Shang felt as if he had dug another hole for himself, and he just hoped that the Huang family could fill this hole themselves.

Navigation is not just about having a ship, and the sea-going ships designed by Huang Shang are not just for wandering around, but for going far into the ocean, which requires a lot more technical support and military support.

During the time before the ship was built, Huang Shang perfected the compass, trained sailors, and made a large number of repeating crossbows.Coupled with the bed crossbow and divine arm bow installed on the big ship, it should be able to withstand it for a while.

As expected, Li Canghai was accompanying Huang Shang, serving tea and water, and was still taking care of Huang Shang's daily life.Looking at the endless whimsical ideas emerging in Huang Shang's writings, even the Xiaoyao School, which is known for its erudition and versatility, cannot fully understand the mysteries.

In terms of martial arts, Li Canghai no longer thought about it. He did not expect that Huang Shang also had talents that transcended the times in terms of mechanics, astronomy and geography, which made Li Canghai feel unfathomable.

Finally, a giant sailing ship with a length of 44 feet and a width of [-] feet was completed.The hull is carved in the shape of a giant whale. The bow and hull are surrounded by giant divine bows and ballistas. The hull is curved and the stern is like a whale's tail.When docked in the bay of Quanzhou, all the passing merchant ships looked sideways, feeling that he was majestic and the overlord among the ships.

Looking at the majestic ship, Huang Shang turned to Li Canghai on a whim and said, "Are you interested in going on a long voyage?"

Li Canghai pointed to his nose in surprise and asked, "Me? You want me to go out to sea with the ship?"

Huang Shang said: "I am not asking you to go to sea with the ship, but I am asking you to accompany me to sea."

Li Canghai asked: "Do you want to go to sea?"

Huang Shang said: "The sky is big and the earth is big. The world outside is even wider. There is no point in staying at home."

Li Canghai asked: "Have you ever been to the sea?"

Huang Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "No." Li Canghai said: "Going to sea is not a simple matter, there will be many unexpected dangers."

Huang Shang said: "How dangerous can it be? And what dangers are unexpected?"

Li Canghai looked at the confident Huang Shang, smiled and raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's good that you're not afraid. I already like traveling, so I'd be very grateful if you help me travel overseas."

Huang Shang said: "You guys keep getting ready, I'll go home and say goodbye to dad."

Li Canghai immediately said: "I will accompany you back."

Huang Shang shook his head and said: "No need. If you go back like this, I will have to explain why you are 'Sister Li'. Just stay here and help me keep an eye on this big ship. Don't let anything happen before we go to sea. I'll go back quickly."

Li Canghai felt a shiver in his heart. With such an eye-catching ship parked there, he didn't know how many people would speculate. If he didn't go to sea for a day, he would probably be restless.

Huang Shang quickly returned to Huangjiacun, Yanping, and met his father.

Huang Shang said: "Dad, the third brother plans to do overseas trade. He built a big ship to go to sea. I want to go out with him to see the scenery overseas."

At this time, the results of the examination were out, and as expected, Huang Shang failed again. Patriarch Huang was a little disappointed with his son.Seeing that his smart son had no talent for reading, he was helpless.

Chief Huang knew that Huang Shang's cousin Huang Jinyuan had been building ships recently and had taken many boys from the same clan with him.

Different from the previous "anti-commercialism", the Song Dynasty adopted a "mercantilism" policy to encourage overseas trade, and Fujian was at the forefront.Therefore, Patriarch Huang does not dislike his younger disciples doing business. As long as they are not good at studying, doing business is a good way out. It does not mean that if they are not good at studying, they have to go home and farm.

It seems that his youngest son is really not qualified to be an official, so he has no problem going to sea to see the world. He does not know the specific details of Huang Jinyuan's shipbuilding.

In his opinion, it is normal for Fujian people to go overseas, even if the Huang family did not have this business before.On the contrary, he valued Huang Jinyuan's pioneering spirit, his ability to break away from the original rules and find a new path for the children of the Huang family.

Chief Huang said: "Go out and listen to your third brother. Our Huang family has never done this before. Learn more from other people's experiences and don't act too hastily."

If he saw the Huang family's big ship, he would know that the Huang family had acted too hastily.

Huang Shang was stunned when he received such a cheerful answer. His father was not the old scholar he thought he was. At least he thought his father would not support them doing this kind of business, which left him full of excuses. Use it.

Patriarch Huang suddenly asked: "Why didn't Sister Li come back with you? Did she also go to sea with you?"

Huang Shang was just stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "She can't go out to sea. The sea is very windy and rough. How can a woman endure it? I have already given her money and sent her back to her hometown to find her relatives."

It would be too troublesome to explain clearly how Sister Li became Li Canghai, and to say a lot more about Li Canghai. It would be easiest to just say that she is gone.
