Chapter 807: Going to sea
"This is a businessman in Jiaozhou! It is called Sun Yat-sen!" Mi Zhu, who was beside him, began to speak to Liu Mang.
"Jiaozhou!" Liu Mang pondered for a moment, and he was a little confused. Could it be a member of the Jiaozhou Shi family?
"Lord, I have found someone to investigate. This person is just a small businessman in Jiaozhou. His family's wealth is only a thousand yuan. Because he can't continue working in Jiaozhou, he came to Yangzhou!" Mi Zhu explained to Liu Mang.
"Yeah!" Liu Mang nodded. Perhaps he was worried too much, but looking at the rental of the ships on it, Liu Mang couldn't help but smile. "This Sun Yat-sen is a bit interesting. The three merchant ships are full of their ships? Are you not afraid that if you encounter waves this time, he will just run away?" Liu Mang said with a smile.
Sun Yat-sen is only a thousand dollars in his family, so he probably has to pay half of his rent. In addition, these three ships are all over 100 tons, so how can they be filled? Moreover, Liu Mang can't explain clearly on the sea. The vast sea is also unpredictable. If he encounters a big storm, he may really lose all his money. At that time, Sun Yat-sen will probably be in poverty.
"Lord, this person is already planning to travel with this merchant ship!" Mi Zhu said to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang felt even more interesting when he heard this. He was traveling with merchant ships? This was a long ocean. Whether he could come back was different. Generally, those who rent merchant ships were all merchants, but don’t think that those merchant leaders, the gentry leaders, would go out in person, and they would send their shopkeepers to the sea. They would still be dead.
But Sun Yat-sen was preparing to travel in person, which saved Liu Mang's trouble of losing money when he had encountered a storm, and if he encountered a storm, he would sank with the ship. Why do you think so much?
"If you pass it on, he will waive the cost of this person's boat rental. I will give him another three thousand gold, no, five thousand gold!" Liu Mang spent a lot of money this time, and a small businessman actually took out five thousand gold.
"Five thousand gold? Lord, this... this?" Mi Zhu was a little confused. Sun Yat-sen was just a small businessman who couldn't make it in Jiaozhou. As for such preferential treatment?
"Zifang, I don't understand the business stuff, but you don't understand the things in the heart of the human being!" Liu Mang said with a smile. Going to sea is risky. Everyone knows that those businessmen who go to sea, except those who are really adventurous like Sun Wen, are all closely related to him, Liu Mang, such as Liu Neng's Liu family, and Mi Zhu's Mi family. These emerging gentry went to sea because they knew a little inside information, and they showed it to Liu Mang.
There are very few real businessmen left.
Liu Mang needed to give Sun Yat-sen as an example to encourage these individuals to go out to sea. The scale of going out to sea will only grow bigger and bigger. Funan and Lin Hu are just two small countries. There is still a wider space for entering the Indian Ocean later. This is not counting, but there are other new continents that need to be discovered.
The risk of going overseas is very high, and one of the reasons why these merchants can go overseas without their own life is that high profits are the real thing.
Liu Mang didn't really give the five thousand gold to Sun Wen there, but rented it to him. At least he had to let him load the ship slowly, and the rest was rewarded. Liu Mang just wanted to set up a typical example so that everyone knew that if you want to get rich, then go out to sea. If you want to get rich, then go out to sea. If you want to make a fortune, then go out to sea. If you want to make a name for yourself, then go out to sea.
"Zhang Family?" Liu Mang saw another list and frowned.
If Liu Mang was not wrong about this Zhang family, then this person should be Chen Liu's Zhang family? How could he come to Yangzhou?
"Lord, the Zhang family also has commercial dealings with us!" Mi Zhu said to Liu Mang. Now the seaport is basically in the hands of Liu Mang, so Liu Mang has sea salt. However, Liu Mang's Yangzhou generation is not as much as the north. So when you want salt, I want iron, and they are evenly matched. Another thing is cloth. The weather in the south is humid and hot, so the cloth is naturally less and they are all wearing single clothes. However, the north is different, and the north is cold. Although it is wearing a lot of clothes, this cloth has long changed from a single artificial to the current silk reeling machine collaboration in Yangzhou.
The efficiency of producing cloth is faster, and the amount of cloth is naturally greater, and the price will inevitably decrease. This is a blessing for the north. In the past, only wealthy families could wear warmth in winter, but now ordinary people can afford it. Such a big business opportunity is that no matter how much hatred there is with Yangzhou, those officials from Yanzhou will not be stuck in the door and cannot trade.
Chenliu’s Zhang family, Zhang Miao’s Zhang family.
"This Xun Yu is good at playing!" Liu Mang laughed twice. Procurement belongs to logistics, so naturally Xun Yu is in charge there, but now Xun Yu has been transferred from Xu Du to Liaodong.
The Zhang family is Zhang Miao's Zhang family. The Zhang family was a good friend of Liu Mang's father-in-law. When they entered Yanzhou, they opened the city gate. They wanted to stand up again with Lu Bu, but unexpectedly, our father-in-law was not good enough and was driven out by Lao Cao.
Lao Cao was kind enough to kill the Zhang family's chief evil, leaving behind the blood of the Zhang family. His development over the years has been pretty good. Xun Yu also knew that other families would be more or less suppressed by Yangzhou if they came to Yangzhou for business, but the Chenliu Zhang family would not, because Lu Bu was in debt to the Zhang family, so he would naturally compensate him in some places.
Over the years, the Zhang family has made great money in Yangzhou... Of course, Yangzhou itself will not lose, it is a win-win situation, but what Liu Mang did not expect was that the Zhang family of Chenliu was actually involved in this trip to the sea.
"Lord, why don't I go and inform the merchant ships not to rent them?" Mi Zhu asked tentatively at Liu Mang's expression.
"Rent? Why not rent?" Liu Mang smiled and said, "Not only rent, you can tell the person in charge of the Zhang family that we not only rent, but also exempt them from rent. We also borrow five thousand gold to them. If you make a profit, you will pay interest even if you lose money, then half of each person!"
Mi Zhu felt that his mind was completely insufficient today. A Sun Yat-sen appeared there and asked him to have Mi Zhu's head pussy. He wanted to lend it to Chenliu's Zhang family again? This lord has too much money and can't spend it.
"However, you have to agree with the Zhang family over there that I want Jin Lubu whether it is to check out or pay the capital. I don't want the others, and what I give him is also Jin Lubu!" Liu Mang said with a smile on his lips.
"Lord, do you want to take Jin Lubu to Yanzhou?" Mi Zhu widened his eyes and seemed to understand it all at once.
, "Why not!" Liu Mang blinked.
The Jin Lu Bu is completely based on Yangzhou as the gold standard system. In the past, Jin Lu Bu and gold in Yangzhou could be exchanged at a price equivalent, but now it is not possible. I will give you any gold Lu Bu you in the past. Now, within ten pieces is only one thousand gold, so I may exchange it for you. But more than ten pieces are required, that is, it needs to be reviewed. Generally speaking, it only takes ten days and half a month to review it. If your amount is large, then the time will be longer. For merchants, time is money. If you lend the gold, it will be a waste of money to come back. If this gold is exchanged for Yanzhou outside Yangzhou, such as Yanzhou, the review period will be longer.
It is precisely because of the troubles of review that one of the consequences is that many businessmen are reluctant to change it, so I keep Jin Lubu because Jin Lubu's existence still has the meaning of it, it is not weaving, and it is also convenient to carry. One hundred gold is one hundred gold.
It was Jin Lubu that slowly filled the market, not Jinzi, and Jinzi was naturally received into the treasury of Yangzhou.
Liu Mang asked the Zhang family to settle with Jin Lu Bu, which had his plans.
Liu Mang won’t say that he would make 100% of his money when he went out to sea, but there might be 80% of his money. The news that Liu Neng brought back was that he used a kettle and a broken knife on his ship, and exchanged two pieces of gold from a small tribe in Linhu’s small country. The size was twice as big as Liu Mang’s fist. These two things were still worthless. If it was valuable things, such as some new tea porcelain, the men of those tribes would naturally like them. Once they liked them, they would be short of money? So no matter how poor a country was, its rulers were all rich.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Mang prepared to organize a large-scale trading activity to open a trade route. He also sent 8,000 naval soldiers to protect the merchant ships.
After this first trip to sea, Liu Mang believed that there would be a second and third time. At that time, the scale of the Yangzhou sea trip caravan will only become larger and larger, and the grain will be continuously transported back.
Even if the grain is sealed, it cannot be preserved for a long time. If there are too many, Liu Mang naturally needs to sell all the grains that have been sold for a long time. Who is the one who sells them? The ones close to Yanzhou and Jingzhou. When the transaction comes, Yanzhou will only slowly integrate into the Jinlubu system of Yangzhou. When he finds that he is unable to leave Jinlubu, Yanzhou is almost done.
"Will the Yanzhou central government agree?" Mi Zhu still had concerns. Will the Yanzhou direction agree to the circulation of Jin Lubu? There have been cases of being beaten back before.
"That was the past, but now Xun Yu is gone, I think who will stop him!" Liu Mang sneered. Even if there are people who understand, what they understand more is that cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Once you refuse the circulation of Jin Lubu, it will prevent the gentry from coming to make money. In this way, even if you are unwilling to do so, those gentry will put pressure on them.
After discussing with Mi Zhu for a while, Mi Zhu decided on some basic things, and Mi Zhu went back.
Time always passes quickly.
In the yard of an inn in Yangzhou, several middle-aged men and a few young people were all in the courtyard. The middle-aged man walked around and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Head of the family, how much risk is this going to sea? Don't you know?" One of the middle-aged people complained to the middle-aged man above the head.
"That's right, my third brother, my father asked you to inherit the position of the head of my Sun family. None of our brothers opposed it. That's because we know that third brother, you are a capable person. Only you can bring wealth to our Zhang family. But now you are really too reckless!" Another middle-aged man spoke, and he also complained.
"Second uncle, uncle, father is forced to do so!" the young man over there explained.
"Is there a forced person? Someone is forcing him to go to rent a boat with a knife? Did someone force him to write that application certificate with a way?"
"This going out to sea may not be a way out. Our Sun family was driven out in Jiaozhou. Can we still go back now? Although the business road in Yangzhou is vast, have you ever thought about how our Sun family can gain a foothold in Yangzhou without any power or power? Isn't this all thanks to my father?" The young man also became angry.
"Hmph, Sun Wu, don't say good things to your father. If you want me to say it, you should take out the money and let our Cheng'er go to Yangzhou Academy to study and get a fame and fortune. Only in this way can we gain a foothold in our Sun family!" The uncle spoke again.
After all, he was because of money. In addition to getting into the Yangzhou Academy with his own skills, there was another way to spend money. However, the tuition fee of 100 gold is not affordable to ordinary people. This uncle asked for money like Sun Yat-sen, but Sun Yat-sen did not give it to him. It was not Sun Yat-sen who was stingy, but the son of his elder brother's family was not a material for studying. Isn't this money was wasted?
Now Sun Yat-sen came to rent a boat to go out to sea, and the uncle suddenly broke out. If you don’t give my son the money to study, you should use all your belongings to bet?
"Uncle, come on, Brother Cheng is still studying. He has given that amount of money to Sister Yao long ago!" The young man said bluntly to this uncle.
"What are you saying? Are you talking to your elders like this?" The uncle also angrily shouted at the young man over there, "Your father is here today, you are disrespectful to elders. What should I do according to my Sun Family Law?"
"Family Law? Do you still have family law in your eyes? My father is the head of the Sun family. Does your uncle need to make any decisions? "The atmosphere became more and more tense, as if it could explode in an instant.
"Okay, enough!" Sun Wen shouted over there, his eyes were full of anger. His Sun family was rich among the poor, but they were poor among the rich. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
