Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

epydz (On September 28th, the third year of Wucheng in Huaxia, three deep-draft civilian sea trade ships slowly sailed into the Yangtze River, and finally moored on the river near the Liuhe Wharf in Taicang, followed by a continuous flow of more than a dozen temporary inspection ships from the customs office Transport the bulk cargo carried by merchant ships to the pier. Visit download *novel. As various se copper coins, coral, hawksbill, Japanese knives, and flags piled up on the pier, the news of the Japanese conquest began to spread like wildfire.

"I heard no, this time the imperial court confiscated the Japanese, and the gold and silver alone got millions of taels, and those valuable treasures are countless." Opened the city of Edo, who knew that the Japanese were so rich, and now those Qiuba are getting fat."

"Edo is the home of Japan's capital shogunate. It is a big city comparable to Jiangning's eijing. It is not difficult to get a few million taels from the city. I think Li Chuang opened up the Beijing and made tens of millions of taels. , it was only after a crushing defeat that it was easier for the Tartars."

"Liu Xiucai is talking about ancient times again. Li Chuang made tens of millions of taels in Beijing? Could this be a rumor from the Tartars? There are really tens of millions of taels in Beijing city. Hanging on the mountain"

"Treasurer Hu, don't you believe it. In the Ming court, the treasury could starve to death rats, but the princes and ministers' families were rich and powerful. Li Chuang caught these beetles and chased them, and the water and fire sticks in Shuntian Mansion beat them How many roots are broken, how can the money be lost?" Liu Xiucai shook his head and said, "Just think about it, Japan is just a small country, and there is such a savings in the capital, and the city of Beijing was more than two hundred years ago. How could there be less gold and silver hidden in the capital than in Edo?"

"It's not the same, it's not the same," Seeing that the people drinking tea next to him seemed to be persuaded by Liu Xiucai, shopkeeper Hu hurriedly retorted, "Ri was originally a hundred years of peace, but how can it be compared with the Ming Dynasty? You must know that natural disasters began in the Wanli period* *continuously"

The debate between Liu Xiucai and shopkeeper Hu diverted the attention in the lobby downstairs, but a few businessmen sitting near Xi in the private room on the second floor of the tea shop continued to focus on the central topic: "This time the Japanese shogunate ate a lot of money. Unfortunately, I don't know if I will insist on revenge, if the Japanese plague of the previous dynasty repeats, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Boss Ma is overthinking, how powerful the Imperial Navy is today, how can the Japanese come back to land?"

"Even though what Dong Qi's family said is so, but the sea is boundless, how can the officers and soldiers set up defenses everywhere, just in case there is a mistake?"

"Ma Dongzhu is an old-fashioned opinion, but the imperial court has a heavy army in the Jianghuai area, how can it condone Japanese riots, besides, with so many ships of goods delivered, the atmosphere in the imperial court will inevitably change."

"What Master Xie means is that the imperial court will further increase its troops in Japan and force the shogunate to open up business? If so, it would be a good thing." Chen Fuyun, the owner of the Songjiang Sincerity Silk Cotton Co. Judging from the arrival of goods, Japan’s business can do a lot.”

"There are captives in the north. It is unlikely that the imperial court will further increase its troops to Japan." Ma Fengxiang, the boss of Suzhou Jiuzilianhao Cloth, shook his head, "And even if the imperial court suppressed the Japanese and accepted the conditions for opening up for business, the Japanese business There have always been a few time-honored brands of Wo, if you and I join in rashly, I am afraid that we will be swallowed so that there will be no bones left."

Qi Jiyun, the owner of Changzhou Hengtai Vehicle and Ship Co., said: "In my opinion, it is not necessary to do business with the Japanese country. They are already familiar with raw silk, cotton cloth, and sucrose. You can find another way. You must know that it is only to transport Japanese copper and Japanese from the Japanese country. The profit will be several times higher when you come back, but as for the journey, you can just pack whatever you need in Japan.”

Chen Fuyun was elated when he heard it, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, and this time I heard that the imperial court oppressed Japan to open up trade, not only to restore Nagasaki, but also to require trade in other ports in Japan. If this is true , I am afraid that those time-honored brands may not be able to cover the sky with one hand.”

"If that's the case, we don't have ships." The fourth person who hadn't said anything suddenly said, "I'm afraid we can only watch the benefits of Japan's trade fall into the hands of those time-honored brands."

Chen Fuyun immediately gritted his teeth and said, "It's a big problem not to have a boat. We have to buy it without delay."

Ma Fengxiang poured cold water on it again: "Everyone knows that the Japanese trade is of great benefit. If Japan is about to open its mouth according to what the two bosses said, who would be willing to sell the ship to us at this moment? Isn't that the same as pushing the money out?" And even if we manage to buy a boat, what about the sailors? Who can recruit an old sea dog who knows the way of the sea?"

"Boss Ma's words make sense." The fourth person looked at Qi Jiyun, "The boat may not be available right now, but Qi Dong's family is in the business of a car and boat company. I don't know if I can book a boat at a familiar boat yard." Woolen cloth?"

"It may be difficult to book a ship at the shipyard. As far as I know, the orders for seagoing ships received by the shipyards in Jiangnan, Zhejiang and West have been scheduled for five years in Wuding. It is impossible to get the ship in a short time. , and the situation in Fujian, Guangdong and Dongning is roughly the same." Qi Jiyun smiled wryly, "Unless we rush to Dongning, Fujian right now, it is possible to buy the existing ship with a lot of money before the news spreads."

Qi Jiyun bit the accent on the word "heavy gold", which only made a few people present feel troubled. After a long time, Chen Fuyun gritted his teeth and said: "Perhaps I can't buy a few boats with the next person's worth, but
