The huge fleet began to approach, and the leading warship slowly sailed by, and the soldiers on the warship were cheering.

In this era, voyage is adventure. The unpredictable sea seems to be a glutton that can swallow everything. After returning safely, the sense of luck makes people excited.

"It's the King of Army!"

When an official saw Wang Chi of the navy, he smiled and bowed.

Wang Chi looked a lot darker, but he was particularly energetic. Behind him was a group of foreigners, with different clothes.

"The magistrates, most of them are the envoys of various countries."

Su Yan nodded and ordered: "Call someone to prepare the room and take them into the city later when they meet."

The warship stopped upstream, with sails standing on the boat, looking a little more evil.

The merchant ship was approaching at this moment.

The merchants stood on the deck and bowed to the officials on the shore, smiling particularly cheerfully.

Su Yan was looking at these merchant ships and counting silently, but he couldn't count them all.

"Meet the magistrate!"

Li Ping bowed to Su Yan, and then said with mixed feelings: "I went out to sea for a long time, and I thought I would die for a lifetime, but who knew I could return safely... Blessings from my ancestors..."

He knelt down and prayed devoutly in the direction of his home.

Chinese people always think that their ancestors did not disappear after they passed away, but were watching their descendants.

These businessmen performed differently after they got ashore. Some were ecstatic, some were dazed, and some were muttering to themselves...

Su Yan brought the officials over, and the merchants bowed and said, "I have met the magistrate."

Su Yan looked at these businessmen, and then said in surprise: "No one is missing?"

His question was a bit abrupt, but it was filled with joy.

The merchants all said happily: "Isn't it? We went to sea smoothly this time, and there were no obstacles along the way, and there were not many."

A big stone fell into the ground in Su Yan's heart and asked, "Is this trade okay?"

When the merchants looked at each other, their smiles spread.

"Tongzhang, this trade... made a lot of money!"

Li Ping said excitedly: "Those small countries overseas are ignorant, and our goods can be sold several times more profitable..."

“How many times?”

Su Yan couldn't help but be surprised, "Is this really the case?"

This is the first time that the Song Dynasty organized a large-scale fleet to go overseas trade. No one knows the effect of unified sales.

But judging from the excited appearance of Li Ping and others, this trip is probably a big profit.

"Prime Minister Tong, I have earned this time to go out to sea..." Li Ping stretched out her two fingers, "It's almost 20,000 yuan!"

Damn it!

The dock was quiet and everyone was in a daze.

Twenty thousand coins!

This man could make so much money when he went out of the sea. No wonder those merchants risked their lives to go out to sea.

"I think Li Ping has been doing business for many years and traveled around the world. I have never seen any business? But I have never seen that he can make so much money in one trade!"

Li Ping said excitedly: "I remember that I was unwilling to go to sea at that time, but the magistrate persuaded me and persuaded me again and again, and told me a lot of the benefits of going to sea trade. Then I thought of going to try it... To be honest, I wrote a suicide note to my home before leaving... Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Twenty thousand coins!"

Su Yan lowered his head and remembered what Shen An had said.

——No doubt, the goods of the Song Dynasty were naturally attractive to foreign vassals and could be sold at high prices. As long as we could monopolize overseas trade, the pricing power was in our hands!

"The pricing power is in your hands, so you can sell whatever you want. The mountain leader is really wise." Su Yan missed Chen An extremely, thinking about his analysis of the overseas situation, and verifying it one by one at this moment, which really makes people admire him.

"Twenty thousand guan...so many merchants went to sea, wouldn't they earn hundreds of thousands of guan back?"

An official said happily: "One draw in ten times, our Hangzhou Maritime Manufacturing Department has made great contributions this year."

Su Yan nodded, and someone suggested: "Prime Minister, it will take three years of peace in a few days. Are we... the officials suggest that we count this batch of goods next year, so that our lives will be much better next year."

"Yes! Our income this year has been reported to Bianliang and the news of the return of the merchant ship..."

Everyone smiled tacitly, then looked at Su Yan.

Su Yan stood with his hands behind his back, remembering Bianliang.

Judging from his original intention, this batch of goods that were extracted were planned to be counted this year, but look at these officials, their eyes were lit, and it was clear that they hoped to work hard next year and everyone would make contributions.

Since people's hearts are like this, then someone can only obey.

Su Yan gave people a very tough feeling, so everyone looked at him eagerly and prayed that he would not object.

"Okay!"

Su Yan's faint words made the officials happy and all kinds of good words poured out.

Is this the human heart?

Su Yan was still young, and Chen An often came with letters, and would tell him about officialdom and his principles of dealing with people.

——In many cases, you have to learn to compromise!

Yes, look at these officials. They all have joy in their eyes, and their attitude of going up to hand over the businessmen has become more enthusiastic.

This is where the benefits lie.

Master, you are right at all.

Various goods were counted out, and the ivory, tortoiseshell and other things were placed on the dock one by one. The officials of the Maritime Bureau were counting and recording the records, and they would later draw them according to the value of the goods.

The goods on the dock were piled up like mountains, and someone unloaded the rice. Su Yan smiled and said, "You can keep this thing yourself."

If rice is going to be scattered, wouldn’t Su Yan become a blood-sucking worm?

The businessman laughed dryly and said, "But I forgot, hahahaha!"

The inventory continues until the afternoon.

In the joyful atmosphere, someone shouted: "Here comes out."

In an instant, everyone calmed down and stared at a clerk holding a booklet.

The little official's hand was frozen red and he looked up and said, "The merchants made 420,000 yuan in this trip!"

"Forty-two thousand coins? So many?"

The officials were stunned. Everyone had thought that merchants could make a lot of money, but they could make so much money after traveling to the sea. I really didn’t expect it!

The merchants know how much they earn, but they have so much together, which is shocking.

At this moment, many merchants came to the dock. They didn't go out to sea for various reasons last time. When they heard that the fleet had returned, they wanted to come and have a look.

When they looked at the piles of goods on the dock, they became jealous and envious. When they heard this number, a businessman fainted on the ground with a hiccup.

"Some idiot, I don't dare to go out to sea. I'm so stupid!"

A businessman was there and regretting it with heartache. "At that time, Parliament Su Tong advised someone for a long time, saying that going out to sea is not that scary and being able to make a lot of money overseas, but he just doesn't believe it. Now... Now that others have earned back the mountains of gold and silver, he can only sit back and regret it,... Bang!"

This man actually slapped himself in the face, which shows that he regretted it very much.

Most of the businessmen who went out to sea looked excited, and Li Ping said gratefully: "If there were no Parliament Su Tong, where would we make money?"

The merchants bowed together, "Thank you, Judge Su Tong."

This young man came to work in the Maritime Warehouse. At first, everyone disagreed with it and always thought it was unreliable.

Later, he gradually won the trust of the officials of the Maritime Bureau with his performance, won the trust of these merchants, and gradually opened up the situation.

Now that the merchant fleet is in triumph, Su Yan's personal prestige has reached a higher level, and the future is unlimited.

Su Yan smiled and said, "The court supports sea trade, and it's just to go with the flow."

He remembered Chen An.

As a staunch supporter of maritime trade, Chen'an's step-by-step progress has made large-scale overseas trade possible from supporting the reconstruction of the naval army to opening the shipbuilding industry.

Such a mountain captain is really convincing!

Su Yan was grateful in his heart, turned around and looked at the merchants who had not gone out to sea, found the merchants who had previously questioned the profits of sea trade, and said, "If Chen County Gong was willing, his goods on this trip could earn at least 100,000 yuan. Are you trustworthy?"

Those businessmen have already regretted their intestines. When they heard this, one of them smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister Su Tong, I've waited wrong, but I'm 100,000 yuan..."

Can we not brag about pen?

A caravan has only earned 420,000 guan. Chen'an's family wants to earn 100,000 guan. Do you really think this money is caused by the strong wind?

"One hundred thousand coins is not a matter of time."
