The more it is banned, the higher the price, which is common sense, and what is often banned is mostly some ordinary people, because ordinary people or businessmen dare to go to the sea, once caught, it is killed.
But some people are not necessarily, such as some wealthy families, they themselves have great influence, some people in the court do not say it, that is, in the locality, it is also the role that the magistrate relies on, such a person, the inspection department of the sea route dares to investigate As a result, smuggling arose, such as the Lu family, he wanted to smuggle, who dared to stop this kind of smuggling, it can be described as above board, but anyone who knew the details was silent, and never dared to make a noise, and then a shipload of silk and porcelain just changed hands in the process of sea trade, and in the blink of an eye, it produced dozens or even a hundred times of huge profits.
At this time, Ye Song said again: "I was listening to it on the side, I heard the trade concession of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I thought of the background of the Lu family, I felt that something was wrong, I dared to say it, if it was true that the Zhenguo Mansion had a trade concession, wouldn't it smash the Lu family's rice bowl, if the Lu family's rice bowl was smashed, how could he come to the door so politely, and he also gave a courtesy, the gift list is very rich, there are two pairs of jade bi, and" Ye Chunqiu immediately understood, and said randomly: "He is here to test." ” Ye Song nodded and said, "Yes, it should be here to test, after all, the trade concession of the Zhenguo Mansion has issued an edict, how can he oppose it."
But I don't think it's that simple. ” Of course, it won't be so simple, Ye Chunqiu thought to himself, once the monopoly is broken, the pricing power is not monopolized by smugglers, there should be a lot of people like the Lu family, they are not just as simple as making money by themselves, there should be many joints that have been dotted, to put it bluntly, it is not only a huge profit, but also a large cost, once the Zhenguo Government imports and exports goods on a large scale, it is strange that these big smugglers are not bankrupt.
This kind of smuggling business is often brought out through various networks, and it is not simple.
Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "Order someone to return the gift, tell the Lu family, just say that the gift is too expensive, and we can't afford it." ” "Okay."
Ye Song nodded very neatly.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu's gaze at Ye Song also became a little less severe, in fact, among the three brothers of the father's generation, the father is a nerd, the third uncle is a little muddy, this second uncle seems to be more capable, if it weren't for the contradiction between the big house and the second room, Ye Song is afraid that he would have been in charge of the Ye family a long time ago.
This time, it seems that he has figured it out, their father and son have no other way to go, but to stubbornly tie up this nephew, so when he heard that Ye Chunqiu asked him to return the gift, he happily agreed.
Ye Chunqiu frowned again: "If he invites me to the banquet, he will say that I have something to do, but I can't get through it, the second uncle will go to meet them for a while, and there is also Ningbo, let people inquire about it, how many people are in Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, it is good to have a bottom in my heart, especially this Lu family, since he has come to the door, he must be a key figure in it." ” Ye Song hurriedly responded again and was about to leave.
Ye Chunqiu suddenly said, "Second uncle, wait a minute." ” Ye Song stopped and said busily: "I don't know what else to order."
Ye Chunqiu's tone calmed down, and said: "If you want to do something, you can't do it without silver, go to the account and pay a thousand taels of silver, I will say hello to Uncle Dong." ” Ye Song froze for a moment, and Ye Chunqiu's words surprised him a little, but soon, he nodded heavily, and then hurried away.
This sudden arrival of Lu Wenjie made Ye Chunqiu a little vigilant, and he suddenly understood why when the British Duke Zhang Mao met with him at this time, he would suddenly say that he was afraid that it was not so simple.
To put it bluntly, the smugglers are pursuing a sea ban, and only a comprehensive ban can they make huge profits, and now, although the Ming Dynasty did not open the sea, the town government got the trade concession, but it is equivalent to letting the sea ban open an opening, and with the strength of the town government, in the future, the sea will make a living, and their share It is estimated that these people heard this and were anxious, but they did a killing business, and they could not put this kind of thing on the table.
Presumably, at this time, many people are so worried that they have begun to eat tastelessly, and they can't sleep at night.
Ye Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then went to the courtyard where he lived, and just arrived at the door of the wing room, the door happened to be open, and he saw Wang Jingchu sitting at the round table in the middle of the wing room and reading a book, with only Qiu Yue standing on the side waiting.
Ye Chunqiu quietly walked into the wing, he didn't want to disturb Wang Jingchu to concentrate on reading, but Wang Jingchu noticed it, looked back and saw that he was back, quickly stood up, and said with a smile: "Husband came back early today."
Ye Chunqiu also showed a gentle smile, and said: "Today's business is over, I'll come back early, oh, there is one thing I want to ask you, your Wang family, do you have any big deals?"
Wang Jingchu is also from Zhejiang, and when he heard about the big deal, he also knew a little about it, so he said: "Don't you dare, you want to kill the head, you know the character of my father, he is the emperor, and he has always been his duty, otherwise how could there be big ups and downs."
Ye Chunqiu said: "But what?"
Wang Jingchu frowned and said: "There are a few world friends, and I have heard of them in my mother's house before."
Se Jiao Ye Chunqiu bowed his head, he thought to himself, Wang Hua is a righteous gentleman, so he refuses to do it, but most of the characters in the official face have some connections, presumably even the father-in-law knows a little about something, but he did not cut his robe and break the righteousness, which means that the father-in-law is not easy to publicize, to put it bluntly, in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, big business can be so rampant, or this middle-of-the-road thinking is harmful, even if it is a righteous man and a gentleman, when he sees illegal things, what he can do is to clean himself, and other people's things should only be regarded as if he does not know, so those who seek huge profits behind their backs, will be so frightened.
Seeing that Ye Chunqiu's face was not very good-looking, Wang Jingchu guessed that it was related to official business, as a lady in the house, she didn't want to ask too much, but seeing that his expression flashed a little irritable, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, there is an interesting thing, I think it is ridiculous when I hear it, come, husband, you sit down, I will tell you." ” Ye Chunqiu realized that he was out of shape, but he didn't expect to show his wife his troubled side just now.
Ye Chunqiu looked at Wang Jingchu, how could he not know how delicate his wife was, so he put those worries aside in advance, and smiled gently: "I want to hear about it." ” Wang Jingchu said coquettishly: "Who is the most effective person in cracking down on smugglers?"
Ye Chunqiu knew that it must be different from his own answer, and said with a smile: "Does the good wife still want to sell Guanzi?"
