"Shopkeeper Lee."
A stranger came to a cloth village, but he found the shopkeeper Li Du very accurately.
Li Du got up behind the counter and said in amazement: "What do you mean by your distinguished guest?"
” The person who came was dressed in cloth, and despite the fact that there were still two customers in the store, he said: "Shopkeeper Li's business is good, if you have time, you can go to the shipyard to have a look." ” "Didn't the treasure ship stop?"
Li Du was surprised, the treasure ship had been parked on the shore for a long time, and everyone in Jinling City knew about it.
The person who came nodded slightly, and immediately left Buzhuang, leaving a stunned Li Du.
The treasure ships have stopped, the crew has been dismissed, and the craftsmen have long been transferred elsewhere, what are they going to do?
Think about the calm look of the person who came just now, and with ...... …… "It's official!"
Li Du didn't want to come, but Wang Chengyan and the others learned from the past, he thought about it, and finally let the guy set up the carriage and rushed to the shipyard.
The carriage could not enter the perimeter of the shipyard and was intercepted by a sergeant.
"Let's go inside."
After asking Li Du about his intentions, the sergeant nodded and let him in, which made Li Du even more nervous.
Walking along this road, when he saw those majestic treasure ships, Li Du couldn't help but admire: "What a behemoth!
” Turning his gaze to the original slipway, Li Du was surprised to find that there were many people gathered around one of the slipways.
He involuntarily quickened his pace, and was intercepted again when he was more than a hundred paces away.
"Are you here to raise donations?"
The sergeant asked with a frown.
"Fundraising?"
Li Du was shocked, and when he was about to shirk it, he saw a man talking about something, so he said casually: "Yes, I'm here to raise donations." ” "Then go ahead."
After the body search, Li Du walked over slowly. “…… There are many countries overseas, very many, and they need countless goods, whether it is cloth or silk, including porcelain, tea, and all kinds of things, in a word, there are a lot of stupid people there. ” Li Du couldn't help but squeeze in, listening carefully to Fang Xing, who was standing in the middle, talking.
"There's gold and silver over there, and it's even minted into coins, which are about the same as our copper coins."
Fang Xing hadn't fooled people for a long time, and he felt a little jerky.
"The food, clothing, shelter and transportation over there are very poor, the whole city is emitting a foul smell, the feces of people and animals are piled up everywhere, and they often do not bathe, but the rich people have a good face......
Guys, how about we get some incense and let those stinky guys cover it up?
” Fang Xing gradually found his state, waved his hand and said: "Their favorite is our silk and porcelain, and finally tea, whether it is the grassland or those overseas countries, you can't eat more meat without tea, otherwise you won't be able to pull out!"
The stomach is not good, but now they don't, think about it, how much is it worth if you bring it over?
” There is no tea?
Li Du thought it was incredible, tea was as ordinary as eating for the Ming people, and it had long been integrated into life.
In the days when there was no tea, Li Du felt that many people were probably not used to it.
"Uncle, they really don't have tea?"
"Nope."
Fang Xing said firmly: "They use wheat flour to ferment and roast to eat, and they also eat meat, our goods are luxury goods when they are transported over, do you understand?"
Luxury!
” Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "It's like the gold and jade we sell, and it's also a skillful craft, what do you say about this kind of goods?"
” Zheng He, who was not far away, saw the greedy faces of those merchants, and frowned: "Aren't Xing Hebo afraid that these merchants will eventually become behemoths?"
” Wang He said proudly: "Gonggong Zheng, as long as His Majesty holds the army, a behemoth?"
It's easy to turn into the chicken that kills the monkey. ” Zheng He did not put on a show in the face of his juniors, but said with a pleasant face: "I am not afraid of money, but I am afraid of the collusion between officials and businessmen, which will eventually affect the government and politics." ” Wang He had a rare opportunity to behave in front of Zheng He, a senior, and said as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Gonggong Zheng, if there is collusion with the businessman, he will be dismissed immediately and convicted, who dare to do so?"
” Zheng He shook his head and said, "It's easy to say, but do you think that at that time, who else will be able to suppress these forces?"
” He thought of the forces in the DPRK and China that opposed the Western Ocean, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
The ship is ready-made, the goods are ready, and the purpose of this voyage is to explore new places, as for the goods, Zheng He believes that he can make a lot of money by exchanging them with a few countries.
Those who slandered the trip to the West and spent millions of taels of silver were all a group of Fang Xing's mouth cannons in Zheng He's opinion.
If this is the case, even if Xia Yuanji has great ability, Daming's finances would have collapsed long ago, not to mention that Daming also conquered Jiaozhi and grassland at the same time.
Once a businessman's strength swells, they will definitely not be willing to be a businessman, for example, that Lü Buwei is the biggest investor.
Therefore, Zheng He agrees with the judgment of the other party's awakening - wealthy businessmen have no country!
In the face of interests, there is nothing that cannot be discarded!

But now he's encouraging!
“…… It's a brand new ship, and it can go farther, and farther it means more......
Wealth!
” Fang Xing ended his flickering and walked towards Zheng He, and a small official behind him shouted hoarsely: "It's a ship, and those who are willing to donate will give priority to buying goods from him when the fleet goes to sea in the future." ” Some people are moving, some are retreating, and some are watching......
"Gong Zheng, this is the same rice to raise a hundred kinds of people."
Fang Xing and Zheng He stood side by side, and the two of them were watching the various reactions of those businessmen.
"Adults, small ones are willing to donate!"
The first person appeared, and immediately a small official came to him with a booklet and a pen and asked him to fill it out by himself.
No one dared to repay the account, so the man carefully filled in the amount and then drew a pledge.
With the first, the second soon appeared as well.
As the shopkeeper of the cloth village, Li Du felt that the business was close to the bottleneck period, and it was very difficult to expand unless he opened the branch to other places.
And if you can squeeze into the list of suppliers in the fleet, it will be a profit!
So he looked at the donation amount of the people in front of him, then took a median value, and finally drew a bet, and then he was satisfied with Fang Xing over there.
"There aren't many people, but I don't lack money for shipbuilding, and as you said, I want to win over some businessmen and break the huddle in the south."
"It's not just the literati in the south, it's the businessmen as well."
Zheng He's understanding of the south is deeper than Fang Xing, he frowned and said: "Science is slowly eroding their foundation, and without the foundation, what is left in the south?"
So......
Be cautious. ” "The south is their territory, I know that."
Fang Xing saw that there were businessmen filling it out constantly, so he said: "But you have to try it, besides, science is not a crooked way, and it can't be demagogic, why can't it be spread?"
” Zheng He avoided this topic and said: "Originally, most of the fleets took goods from government-run workshops, but now that the treasure ships are stopped, those workshops are a little sluggish, and it is better to avoid them after that, and then these merchants will do it, so that the accounts are clear." ” The efficiency of the government-run workshops can be imagined, and the accounts are even more confusing.
But purchasing from the hands of merchants, so that the fleet must be profitable, otherwise it will be a big loss to go out and come back, and it is estimated that those people will attack the West even more frantically.
"It's not hard to make money, the fleet can actually anchor on the shore of the Celestial Side, and then trade through the Celestial People and the Meat Fan Country."
"The Celestial People are born businessmen, cunning, and they have to eat a lot of benefits."
Zheng He tried to explore the strait on the other side of the sky, but the road to the new sea area was blocked by an obstacle, which made him very regretful, so he led the fleet to the wooden bone capital, which is the place where the black eagle fell in the future.
Fang Xing smiled, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "What's the matter if you give them some advantage first!"
” Zheng He turned sideways and nodded: "The momentary gains and losses are not long enough, and the meat fan country is eyeing the back."
Greed is the greatest fault, and if the heavenly people are obsessed, sooner or later they will pay the price. ”
