A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 560: Going to sea! Go to sea!

"Gather those businessmen together."

Time was very tight. In order to straighten out the city shipping department before winter, they finished interrogating Liu Ke. Chen Ang and Wang Yu came to the dock again.

Most of the maritime merchants had witnessed the arrest and were still frightened.

The water was calm, but the breeze brought a bit of fishy smell, as well as the smell of burning plant ashes.

Chen Ang looked at these foreign merchants and made a mental draft in his mind, saying: "From now on, all goods will be separated, good and bad will be distinguished, and then priced according to the rules... I want to remind you of this, the original price... You stole a lot of money from the Song Dynasty..."

The merchants were a little restless, and someone said: "Dear official, those prices were set by officials of the Shipping Department and have nothing to do with us."

Chen Ang sneered and said: "They are not stupid and will not take the initiative to lower the price for you. You know best what is happening here. Today I am here to tell you to wait. From today on, the price will be lowered!"

He stretched his hands forward and pressed down, trying hard to recall his years in the northwest, and a sharp look appeared on his face, "Who wouldn't want to?"

"Sell to them uniformly."

On the other side, Wang Yu and the merchants of the Song Dynasty were talking.

"Don't be scattered. In the future, all goods will have to pass through the Shipping Department. Anyone who wants to trade privately should be prepared to go to Qiongzhou."

Wang Yu is very young, but there are more than ten sergeants standing behind him, representing his identity at this moment.

The merchants were silent.

Wang Yu knew that this did not mean that they had surrendered, but that they were waiting for the follow-up.

"There are a lot of goods, which cannot be produced in Hangzhou alone. You are just transporting goods here. The DPRK will do a better job in this kind of thing. Of course, this does not mean that the DPRK and China will take away this business. That’s unreliable!”

Officials cannot get too involved, otherwise there will be many drawbacks.

"The goods can continue to be transported and sold, but the price must be fair, and... I know someone who is trading with Fanshang privately, but I won't go into details here. If he is caught in the future, he will be drowned in the sea!"

Wang Yu said it very casually, as if he was joking.

"Don't blame the imperial court for blocking your way of making money. In recent years, the Shipping Department and the merchants have colluded to raise the purchase price, causing the Song Dynasty to lose a lot. You asked for this!"

"But this has nothing to do with us!"

"That's right, Liu Ke and the others are collecting benefits privately, and we can't control them."

"..."

"But you didn't report it!"

Wang Yu said coldly: "This is almost the same crime! If it weren't for the benevolence of the officials, the businessmen here should be replaced."

At this moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

These businessmen really have no moral integrity at all as Shen An said. If they have money, they are their father, and if they have milk, they are their mother.

Someone shouted: "I am not guilty!"

"interesting!"

Wang Yu stared at the man, pointed over and shouted: "Take it."

Two sergeants rushed in, punched and kicked the man, and then dragged the man away.

Wang Yu looked at him with a smile and asked: "We already explained our identity when we were on Wushan Mountain. We are here to investigate the Shipping Department, but who has reported it?"

"Failure to report is the same crime!"

Wang Yu said this categorically, and the merchants looked at each other. Someone whispered: "This man...how does he look like a cruel official?"

This evaluation couldn't be more correct. If Wang Yuruo was born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, he would definitely be a cruel official, and his methods would be so ruthless that it would make people's scalp numb.

"If you want to make a fortune, go to sea!"

Wang Yu was like a devil, but at this moment he changed his face and said with temptation, "Go to sea to trade and earn back the money that should have been from the Song Dynasty. When the time comes to return with a full load, the shipping company will only draw out how much money should be earned." Just how much..."

"We can't find a channel! Going to sea means you'll die."

"If you are afraid of death, you are not a businessman in the Song Dynasty!"

Wang Yu began to encourage enthusiastically: "As for the waterway, first go to places we are familiar with, and visit the surrounding small countries, such as Japan and Korea. If it is further away, go directly to Champa..."

Businessmen are silent.

Wang Yu once again felt that his IQ was too outstanding.

"You used to make money just by waiting, but now that the rules have tightened, you make less money, so you're not happy about it, right?"

I go!

The businessmen all looked at Wang Yu.

This young man looks like he is only ten years old, but he is so smart?

In just a few words, he made it clear what I was thinking. This wisdom...

By the way, this man is Wang Anshi's son.

A young man with a bright future.

The businessmen remained silent, that is, they acquiesced.

Wang Yu shook his head and said: "Most of those places overseas are ignorant. They have mountains of gold and silver without knowing how valuable they are. Gold and silver are piled up at will... and those spices, jewelry... countless treasures are overseas. It is impossible to just wait and make money. They are dead. With this heart, from now on, if you want to make a lot of money... go to sea."

This is the purpose of their coming to the south.

——Whether it is threats or inducements, in one word, we will drive the merchants of the Song Dynasty into the sea to make money from overseas people!

Once the flags of the Song Dynasty cover the ocean, gold, silver and various specialties will pour in. At that time, the Song Dynasty will truly be called a great country.

Mountains of money and seas of money!

Even Wang Yu was looking forward to that kind of grand occasion.

The merchants remained silent, and Wang Yu finally said: "If you are willing to go to sea, report it and find someone to guarantee it. These are old rules and you are all familiar with them. Many people in the Shipping Department will be unlucky, but we live in the city. If you are willing to go to sea, just sign up.”

After returning to his residence, the first thing Chen Ang did was drink water.

"I talked to those merchants from other vassals for a long time. They were all smart people. They wanted to ask if the Song Dynasty wanted to ban trade, but one said it was impossible."

"It is impossible."

Wang Yu shook his head and said: "It is true that you can make a lot of money this way, but it is a guilty conscience. The Song Dynasty has the ability to suppress them. We make big money and they make small money."

Chen Ang glanced at him and said, "Young man, your thoughts are really troublesome. Are you threatening people again this time?"

"Threats and inducements."

"I'm worried that no one will sign up. After all, not many people dare to go to sea."

"Chen Tuiguan, you underestimate people's greed!"

Wang Yu looked at him with regretful eyes, "A person used to earn ten guan of money a day, but now he can only earn one guan of money a day. If he wants to earn ten guan of money, he has to go to sea... They will definitely go."

Chen Ang shook his head and said: "Overseas is too dangerous, they will definitely not dare."

The merchants of the Song Dynasty who now go to sea either have confidence in their own navigation technology, or they are bold.

And there are plenty of opportunities to make money at home, so why take the risk of going overseas?

In the next two days, people in Hangzhou saw the scene where the Shibo Company was completely taken away.

The officials were tied up and followed the cart in embarrassment, and the cart was filled with stolen goods.

The shipping department is almost empty, and everyone is worried that it will affect trade.

Even Feng Jin sent someone to ask: "The ship is empty, what should I do?"

He didn't want to deal with this mess, it was a bit of a joke.

"There will be a way."

Chen Ang simply replied without giving any face.

Just as everyone was wondering, many officials came outside.

As soon as these officials arrived, they went to see Feng Jin.

"I've met Feng Zhizhou."

"You are……"

Feng Jin didn't know these people.

"We have been ordered to take over the Ship Division."

Feng Jin lost his composure and said, "Were you prepared in advance?"

Before they came, they were actually prepared to take down Shibosi, but they couldn't tell it in action.

"That Chen Ang seems crude, but the city is so deep. That Wang Yu... is a young man..."

Feng Jin sighed, and then someone came to report: "Zhizhou, those businessmen went to Chen Ang and said they wanted to sign up to go to sea."

Hangzhou is boiling!

The businessmen only thought about it for two days before blocking Chen Ang's residence.

"Someone wants to sign up, and the guarantor is here!"

"Stop squeezing, you're still squeezing!"

"Chen Tuiguan, I have invested all my wealth in it, bought a boat, purchased goods, and prepared to go to sea!"

"I can't even open the pot at home. If I don't go to sea, I can't survive this life."

A group of wealthy businessmen were pretending to be poor, and Chen Ang appeared while the crowd was passionate.

"Tianguan Chen, I'm waiting to sign up."

Chen Ang looked at the crowded scene in astonishment and couldn't help but turn around and glance at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu's words two days ago were recalled again.

--The wages of avarice is death. People are greedy. If you are greedy, you can take advantage of it.

This is trying to figure out people's hearts and using means to guide them.

Such skill...

By the way, where is the businessman who stands out?

Chen Ang thought about it and realized that he was handed over to the accompanying spies and then sent to Qiongzhou in front of those businessmen.

So cruel!

The businessman was found to have colluded with people from the Shipping Department, and the punishment of being sent to Qiongzhou was too severe.

But Wang Yu regretfully said that it was a pity that he could not kill anyone, otherwise he would just kill the person, and the merchants would definitely remain silent.

This young man is really ruthless, poisonous, and powerful!

Wang Yu smiled slightly, very innocently.

"Sign up and mark them down!"

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively. After the registration was over, someone said: "Mr. Chen, there is no chart!"

Chen Ang smiled and said: "The government will provide it."

The businessmen were happy, but someone asked: "How much does it cost?"

It is only natural that you have to pay for giving things.

And judging from the behavior of Chen Ang and Wang Yu during the time they came to Hangzhou, these two people were clearly the reincarnations of cruel officials, and they would not let go of any benefit they received even a penny.

How could a guy who would be scratched off every time a fly passed by give up this opportunity to make money?

How much?

Chen Ang said calmly: "No money!"

What?

The iron rooster actually plucked its feathers?

The businessmen couldn't believe it. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

"Chen Tuiguan, is this a joke?"

Chen Ang said firmly: "The public is public and the private is private. The government hopes that you can make money. Providing nautical charts is only the first step. The second step is to revitalize the Song Dynasty Navy. In the future, the navy will patrol overseas to serve You wait to escort us and make the Song Dynasty famous overseas!"

Is it so beautiful?

The businessmen all looked forward to it.

"The navy was cruising on the sea with the flag of the Song Dynasty. When those people saw it, they fell to the ground... Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

"If there is a navy following, I will dare to sell the goods to the end of the world!"

The third update is here, good night!
