Chapter 267 Calculation (please subscribe)

Are we short of money again today?

No, the current amount of silver in the bank must be an astonishing amount.

Last year, the weather was normal, no major disasters occurred, and the expenditures of the imperial court and the inner treasury were relatively normal.

This was the message this guy said directly when he was drinking with Jia Lian.

For example, some local disasters were not even reported.

There were no civil unrest, so it was definitely a time of peace!

Nowadays, it is more pragmatic, and basically no new palaces and gardens have been built. Otherwise, Qin Zhong's father Qin Bangye, who is a maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry, would not have such a difficult life.

Even the Rongfu Provincial Courtyard, which has shrunk a lot at the moment, also gained a lot of people during its construction.

As long as the project is done, you can always make some money by doing it again.

Under such circumstances, there is only one reason why people are still so shamelessly amassing money today, that is, if they want to make big moves today, they have to prepare more money in advance.

Following the example of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, no matter which Daqian emperor, they all attached great importance to the silver deposits in their inner treasury, which may be life-saving at critical moments.

We can only blame Prince Zhongshun for being unlucky enough to find himself in a situation like this!

Of course, Jia Huan felt that he was actually very lucky. With the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a shield, it would not be so easy for other princes to get involved.

It sounds weird!

Goryeo is not too far from Jinmen, and there have been trade exchanges since the Han Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, the commercial exchanges between Goryeo and the Central Plains reached their peak.

In the following Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, commercial exchanges continued to decline, and this was the case for official trade.

By the time of the Great Depression, there was basically no direct official trade in the north.

Jia Huan felt a little confused. Is Daqian looking down on the business potential of a country with a population of tens of millions?

Or maybe it was affected by the turmoil in Liaodong?

Anyway, there is no answer. At this time, Goryeo was not a vassal state of Daqian.

It's no wonder that if you want to make a difference in martial arts today, Daqian's territory and the number of vassal states are ranked at the bottom among all the previous unified Han dynasties.

In fact, the commercial exchanges between Daqian people and Goryeo have always been quite active.

According to the information collected by Jia Huan, Goryeo had always admired the splendid culture of the Central Plains dynasty and was obsessed with the specialties of the Central Plains.

Even if you bring a few Confucian classics, you can still sell them for a good price.

What’s funny is that the so-called Confucian disciples, that is, the civil servant group, are very cautious about the expansion of Confucian classics.

There was even a strict order that no one was allowed to carry Confucian classics out without permission!

I don’t know what they are worried about. Are they worried that their right to interpret Confucian classics will be difficult to use in outer vassals, let alone new Confucian leaders in outer vassals?

It is estimated that it was precisely because the trade between the officials was almost cut off that the fleet under Prince Zhongshun successfully opened up the maritime trade route to Goryeo.

After all, anyone who is not a fool knows that the profits from overseas trade are quite astonishing. This is not just a boast, but a fact.

I just don’t know. Have you ever considered joining forces with Goryeo to destroy Houjin?

Prince Zhongshun is also funny, Jia Huan has given him suggestions before.

When encountering today's arrogant and unreasonable behavior, we must find other ways to keep today's people busy. We do not have the time and energy to keep an eye on things outside the sea.

Make money, make money, don't let today see the true purpose of Prince Zhongshun!

Otherwise, based on the general mentality of emperors in the Family World era, they would definitely not allow Prince Zhongshun to do such a thing. Which emperor does not have a crazy desire for control?

If you don't make things a fait accompli in one go, it could easily be ruined by the present.

The so-called good start turned out to be a complete misfire. It's a pity that I didn't hear the slightest meaning at Prince Zhongshun's mansion before.

In other words, Prince Zhongshun is still reluctant to part with the interests in his hands!

Jia Huan didn't care. The reason why he got involved was because he wanted to train his fleet.

Once their sailing experience has matured, there will be plenty of time for them to use their light and heat.

When the time comes, whether he will play with Prince Zhongshun or not is a matter of his own thoughts.

On the other side, Prince Zhongshun waited for Jia Huan and Xue Pan to leave, then called his staff for a small meeting.

He explained the matter again, and finally said: "It is probably impossible to get away from the Xue family with nothing, and I can't afford to lose this person!"

"That boy Jia Huan is so bold. If he really makes a scene, the palace will be embarrassed again!"

After hearing this, the palace aides were helpless towards Jia Huan.

"Your Majesty, we can only act honestly and according to the established plan. Our goal is not to do business!"

"What a pity. I didn't expect that overseas trade with Korea could be completed so easily!"

"Yes, it is estimated that the profit will be millions of taels a year. If the scale is expanded, I am afraid it will double. It is indeed a pity!"

"There is nothing we can do about it. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I think Jia Huan is right. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes forward, we can do better!"

"The basic situation of the island has been cleared up, and it is very different from what Jia Huan said!"

"Then let's just do it. Since the arms can't twist the thighs, let's not think too much about anything else!"

"After all, I still feel a little uncomfortable. I hope all future actions will go well!"

Prince Zhongshun's face was as dark as water, and he felt a little dizzy after listening to the suggestions of his staff.

Naturally, he was very unwilling to do so, but unfortunately he was facing the current emperor, and he was helpless.

"The Xue family's business channels are really easy to use!"

He changed the subject and said: "As long as you want goods from all over the country, you can basically get them!"

The staff had to agree with this.

Only after actual cooperation did they realize how vast the resources and energy a world-famous big business could use.

It is not impossible for the palace to purchase the goods for business with Goryeo, but the time and efficiency are too low. It is better to leave them all to the Xue Family Trading Company.

"It's just that the Xue family is hard to handle!"

Prince Zhongshun said solemnly: "After all, they rely on the Jia family in the capital to survive, and their relationship with Jia Huan is very good!"

"If there is a conflict in the future, I'm afraid we will part ways easily. We have to guard against this!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xue Pan has a sister. How about letting the young prince take a concubine? This way we can deepen our relationship with the Xue family!"

One of the staff suggested: "At the same time, the palace can also prepare to build its own caravan, or directly recruit a few businessmen who are powerful but have no backing and let them help the palace run the caravan?"

"Anyway, if we take a two-pronged approach, it should still be of some use!"
