Chapter 969 Wei Ju's Greed [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]
The Tsushima Strait has been busier than ever since the continental shelf appeared, perhaps except for the active presence of the former ocean overlord Soryu and the current overlord whale.
A series of ferocious naval ships and warships were constantly patrolling the strait. Compared with the small boats of the maritime people of Tsushima and Gojoseon, the naval fleet could be said to be a ferocious behemoth.
The patrolling of the navy fleet created such large waves that the sea dwellers who originally depended on the sea for their livelihood could not go out to sea to fish.
"The Qin army has entered Gojoseon." Fan Yuqi looked at Yan Chunjun and conveyed the information from Bingzhou as soon as possible.
"The State of Yan has become a thing of the past. Now we... let's call ourselves Hou Yan!" Yan Chunjun looked towards the northwest with a deep gaze.
"I didn't expect that Yan State still has such a retreat!" Wei Ju's face was full of excitement, breaking the originally bleak atmosphere.
"Greetings, Lord of Water!" Fan Yuqi hurriedly saluted when he saw Wei Ju coming.
"The fishing and hunting resources here are so good that it is no problem to feed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people!" Wei Jiu said, pointing to the Tsushima Strait and Yingzhou Strait.
“It’s even better than the fishing and hunting resources at the mouths of the Huai River, Yangtze River, and Yellow River!”
Wei Ju's eyes really lit up.
How to describe the fishing and hunting resources in this section of the strait? Even if you stand on a boat and throw a stone, a large school of fish will come to compete for the food, and the water surface will seem to be boiling.
Most importantly, there are so many different types of fish here.
"What does Shuijun want to say?" Yan Chunjun finally understood why King Xi of Yan wanted him to be in charge.
Now he is also trying to become a qualified king.
"Currently, both Qin and Bingzhou are focusing on land development. The navy is not valued by the two empires. Although the navy makes money, it burns more money."
"Although the navy's income and expenditure are balanced now, the total amount of water transportation in the world is so large, and the market will be saturated. The navy cannot be like a rootless duckweed. I heard that Lord Yanchun has a lot of inheritance from the royal family of Yan State." Wei Ju did not hide anything.
Gold, silver, treasures, pearls and jade are of no great use to Lord Yan Chun and Hou Yan at the moment, but the navy is very greedy for them.
"Shui Jun wants to cooperate with Hou Yan?" Yan Chun Jun roughly understood what Wei Ju meant.
"That's right, Hou Yan can't stay in Yingzhou forever. If you want to explore Yingzhou, you need warships and ships, and a lot of them. My navy can rent them to you, or even help you build ships." Wei Ju continued.
"Lease? Customization?" Yan Chunjun pondered, considering which method is more suitable for the current Hou Yan.
"In your opinion, Lord Shui, which method is more suitable for our Later Yan?" Lord Yanchun did not understand water affairs. He even said that no one in the world knew about this except Wei Ju.
This is a blind spot in Chinese knowledge, and Wei Ju was responsible for filling the gap.
"In the long run, Hou Yan should build its own navy, but for Hou Yan at present, there is no need for this. Therefore, at least in the next ten years, leasing is more in line with Hou Yan's interests."
"The most important thing is that you don't have soldiers who are good at naval warfare. Even if you have ships, you won't be able to use them."
Wei Ju did not try to be cunning or treacherous. He was completely thinking from the perspective of Later Yan and thinking about the option that best suited the current interests of Later Yan.
"One more thing. By renting the navy ships, I can provide Hou Yan with skilled navy officers and soldiers to help Hou Yan complete its exploration of Yingzhou."
"As long as the money is in place, the navy can even help you conquer the entire Yingzhou!"
Wei Ju continued to seduce Yan Chunjun.
He was really envious of the boxes of gold, silver and treasures that Yan Chunjun brought.
When they arrived in Yingzhou, Hou Yan could not use these things, or could not use them all. If they were kept, they would just get moldy and would not generate any wealth.
Li Yao once said that money is only valuable when it circulates in the market, otherwise it is just a pile of stones.
Yan Chunjun looked at Wei Ju in surprise, "You are the Water Lord of Qin. You are helping Hou Yan so much, aren't you afraid that the King of Qin will cause trouble for you?" "No!" Wei Ju smiled and shook his head.
"Do you think that the navy took all the money?" Wei Ju asked.
"Could it be that the King of Qin also had a hand in this?" Yan Chunjun reacted.
It was obvious that Wei Ju dared to do this with the tacit approval of Ying Zheng, or in other words, the money Wei Ju gave to Ying Zheng could make Ying Zheng shut up.
"The King of Qin gets 30% of all the navy's profits!" Wei Ju did not hide it.
"Thirty percent?" Yan Chunjun was a little surprised. No one had calculated the exact income of the navy, but a rough calculation showed that the annual tax revenue of Qin State was not as low as it should be. Thirty percent of the tax revenue was handed over to the King of Qin. No wonder Ying Zheng never cared about Wei Ju.
If you had such a money-making expert, you would be too busy to keep him or her, so how could you bear to criticize him?
Just like Li Yao, the internal historian of Qin State, who is now very powerful in Qin State, and even Xiong Qi has to negotiate with him.
The reason is simple: Li Yao can make money!
No one in the entire Qin State dared to speak loudly to Li Yao. Everyone had to be coaxed, let alone impeached.
If anyone dared to impeach Li Yao, the impeachment memorial would not even reach Ying Zheng's case, because the Censorate, the Prime Minister's Office, the State Guard's Office, Luowang and the Shadow Guard would join forces to kill the impeacher.

"How much does Shuijun need?" Yan Chunjun looked at Wei Ju and asked.
"Leave some for the foreign trade between Hou Yan, Da Qin and Bingzhou, and give the rest to me!" Wei Ju had a big appetite and was very greedy.
"So many!" Yan Chunjun looked at Wei Ju in surprise.
He took away a large amount of Yan State's wealth, almost half of the wealth accumulated by Yan State over hundreds of years.
According to the calculations of the elite mathematicians he brought with him, after they retreated to Yingzhou, the things they lacked most were first food, then weapons and supplies, and finally salt, cloth and other necessities of life.
But for Hou Yan, the quantity needed was not large, and the expenditure would not account for one tenth of what they took away.
That's why Yan Chunjun was shocked by Wei Ju's big appetite.
"The reputation of my navy is known to the world, and it will definitely give Hou Yan great value for money!" Wei Ju said with a smile.
Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi looked at each other. This was indeed true.
In naval transactions, everyone is honest and trustworthy, and this is known to everyone in the world.
This is the reputation of the navy, the reputation of Wei Ju, and the reputation of Xinling Jun.
Regardless of the fact that Wei Ju's title of Water Lord cannot be desecrated, Wei Ju is also the son of Lord Xinling, so it is even more impossible for him to allow Lord Xinling's name to be tarnished.
Therefore, when doing business with the navy, you never need to worry about being cheated or defrauded.
"How about Tsushima Island returning to Hou Yan?" Fan Yuqi asked.
Once the Qin State occupied Gojoseon, it would inevitably have borders and frictions with the Later Yan.
Therefore, a strategic buffer zone was needed between Qin and Later Yan, and Tsushima Island was the most suitable buffer zone.
"That bunch of poor bastards is not worth my attention and that is what the Qin State is looking down upon." Wei Ju directly mentioned Xianyang to give his reply, without even asking Xianyang.
This is also due to his identity. If it were Wang Jian or Xin Sheng, they might still need to ask for instructions from Xianyang, but as a feudal lord, Wei Ju did not need to do so.
