Chapter 1,221 The Duke of Shen County Is Upright and Upright
What is the concept of three thousand taels of gold?
The price of gold in the Song Dynasty is very different. The official purchase price is suppressed desperately, which is completely different from the market price.
According to the current market price, one tael of fine gold can basically be exchanged for ten guan, which means...
"Three thousand taels of gold!"
Su Yan blinked and asked, "But the best gold?"
Wang Chi smiled and said: "Of course, if it's not good, we don't want it."
Su Yan took a breath of cold air, "Thirty thousand strings?"
"What baby?" someone asked beside me.
Wang Chi looked at Su Yan, and Su Yan nodded, indicating that he could say it.
Shen An was the richest man in the Song Dynasty and did not shy away from showing off his wealth.
Wang Chi said calmly: "It's a crystal mirror...one person tall."
"That's a treasure!"
A businessman said in surprise: "But 30,000 guan is too much, isn't it?"
Thirty thousand dollars, this price really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Wang Chi smiled and said: "The natives overseas are rich, and the owners of small countries are even richer. Their homes have mountains of gold and silver, and countless treasures of all kinds..."
The eyes of the businessmen lit up.
An emotion called greed arises.
This is what Su Yan wants to see. He stood up and said: "Some people said before that Mr. Shen refused to let his goods go to sea because he was afraid, but just one mirror can earn 30,000 yuan. What if there are a few more? What if you add things like perfume and crystals? How much can you earn?"
He stared at the merchants with bright eyes, "Mr. Shen is not short of money. He refuses to let his goods go to sea. His purpose is just to free up space for you to wait and make more money. If you don't believe it, then take a look at these three thousand taels." gold!"
Several large boxes were carried over with difficulty. Su Yan nodded, and someone opened the box, and golden light suddenly shone.
"It's all gold."
"Mr. Shen just delivered one piece of goods and made more than us. He is indeed the God of Wealth."
"..."
The merchants were all convinced, and then someone shouted: "The governor is here."
Qin Xin, the governor of Hangzhou, came and started laughing as soon as he got on the dock.
"With so many goods, it can be seen that we are making money, good!"
"I've met Zhizhou."
Everyone saluted, Qin Xin smiled and said: "That's all, I have wanted to come here for a long time, but there are some things in the city, so it has been delayed until now. How much have you earned?"
Su Yan said: "The merchants earned a total of 420,000 yuan."
"So many?" Qin Xin said happily: "So...who wouldn't want to go to sea?"
He looked at the merchants with a stern look in his eyes.
When we first recruited merchants to go to sea, there were a lot of weird people. Now that the fleet has returned safely, it's a good time to slap them in the face!
Those merchants who had not gone to sea lowered their heads, feeling indescribable the pain in their hearts.
At first, he said that the fleet would be in danger, but now that the fleet is back, the danger has not been seen, but it has brought back countless goods and made a lot of money.
"Zhizhou, the villain is going to sea!"
A businessman came out and said sincerely: "The villain is timid. He didn't dare to go to sea last time. Now..."
He looked at the goods and said painfully: "The villain has realized his mistake."
Qin Xin glanced at Su Yan and said, "We'll discuss this later."
"Zhizhou!"
The businessmen all came up one after another, talking about their regrets, and they seemed to want to wash it away even if they poured out the water of the three rivers.
"Back off!"
Two sergeants came over and separated them with a simple scolding.
Qin Xin turned around and said to Su Yan: "Businessmen value profits. Don't be fooled by them. Be tough."
"Yes." Su Yan said: "The mountain chief also once said... Rich merchants have no country, so you should not be too indulgent towards merchants."
"Does a wealthy businessman have no country?" Qin Xin squinted his eyes and nodded slowly: "Yes, if he has too much money, this person will change."
Su Yan nodded, and Qin Xin praised: "I haven't seen that kid for many years, and I don't know what he went through to be so transparent."
He then looked at the pier, and when he saw the gold, he was still dumbfounded.
"Three thousand taels..."
Isn’t this money very good to earn?
"That's a treasure." Su Yan said, "That thing is made of crystal. It's hard to make it look like the same thing. The bigger it is, the harder it is."
"Yes!" Qin Xin said with some trepidation: "That boy is in the official business, and he is even better at business. He is even good at teaching...I don't want to see him anymore, for fear of embarrassment."
Su Yan smiled, and then someone from the front shouted: "Zhizhou, Tongpan, got out."
"Let's take a look." Qin Xin and Su Yan went to the front. Several clerks who settled accounts were squatting beside the fire to warm themselves, with excitement on their faces.
"Zhizhou, general magistrate, this time the fleet returns, our Hangzhou Shipping Department can withdraw 120,000 yuan..."
Qin Xin reached out to hold Su Yan's shoulders and asked, "How much?"
The clerk handed over the piece of paper summarizing the data and said: "Twenty-seven thousand one hundred and ninety-two strings."
Qin Xin grabbed the paper and looked at it carefully. Then his breathing became faster and he raised his head and asked Su Yan: "How many did you say before?"
This is the income of Hangzhou Shipping Company in the second year of Wen Zhiping.
"One million and a half million dollars." Su Yan was very familiar with these data, and he came right out of his mouth. This was also a sign of competence.
"The total is 1.7 million yuan..." Qin Xin suddenly patted Su Yan's shoulder hard, but he waved his hand and cried out in pain. When he looked at Su Yan, nothing happened.
"Zhizhou, could it be counted as next year?" Su Yan was not a stickler for the past, so of course he would make some changes if he could.
"There are still three days left, and the report says it's the beginning of spring." Qin Xin nodded, then took a deep breath and said happily: "Even next year, Su Yan, do you know how much income our shipping company will have next year?"
Su Yan had already done the math, and said with excitement: "Next year, more people will sign up to go to sea. Zhizhou, someone has calculated next year, and with these 120,000 guan, there will be at least 1.9 million guan."
"good!"
Qin Xin said: "I remember that Shen An said at the time that he would make Hangzhou Shipping Division two million dollars a year in five years. How does it look now?"
He stared at Su Yan, and Su Yan said calmly: "In the past, when the merchants came to the Song Dynasty, they always sold at high prices. Now that the fleets of the Song Dynasty are going to sea for trade, they will definitely panic, and then they will lower the price and use a large amount of goods to make more money." Money, this is a good opportunity for our shipping company to increase revenue. But the most important thing is for our fleet to go to sea... Zhizhou, the next wave of fleets to go to sea will definitely be larger in scale, and they will be able to bring back more goods. Two million strings... is not a problem!"
The wrinkles on Qin Xin's face relaxed and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, that boy Shen An taught you very well. You can settle the accounts in one go. It's not as good as me!"
Su Yan smiled and said, "This is just introductory knowledge in miscellaneous studies."
"Miscellaneous studies." Qin Xin praised: "Shen An was able to inherit this knowledge. This is a chance. I think the child who didn't like to talk back then has become a master now, great!"
He walked to the water's edge, boarded a merchant ship, and carefully inquired about the situation at sea.
"The Zhenla navy was completely destroyed, and then they bowed their heads to trade."
Wang Chi came and talked about the trip in detail.
"Zhenla... The Song Dynasty sold some weapons to Champa last time, which made them feel better." Qin Xin was a little disdainful.
"Yes." Wang Chi nodded, "When we returned from Zhenla, we encountered pirates at sea. The pirates did not dare to approach our fleet during the day, so they chose to attack at dusk... and were completely destroyed by our army..."
"Is there anyone alive?" Qin Xin said with a smile: "I have always wanted to see what those pirates are like. Some people say they are vicious, but I think no matter how vicious they are, can they be more fierce than the warriors in the army?"
Well!
Wang Chi said awkwardly: "Zhizhou, all... are dead."
Qin Xin said in surprise: "Are you so brave and not afraid of death? He is really fierce!"
"No, there are a lot of prisoners." Wang Chi didn't know whether Qin Xin could accept this kind of behavior, so he hesitated, "There are enough rice grains and drinking water on the ship. It will be troublesome to bring those people back, so I will They were left in the sea to die."
Qin Xin glanced at him and suddenly said: "Shouldn't we cut a few wounds on their bodies?"
"You actually know that?" Wang Chi was a little surprised, and then he felt that he had met someone with the same idea, and said happily: "The official cut their wounds and threw them into the sea, and then those mermaids came, Biting..."
Su Yan sniffed and couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Qin Xin's interest.
He is indeed an alien!
But even if he wasn't an alien, he wouldn't be able to get along with Shen Bian back then.
Qin Xin smiled and said, "If you encounter pirates next time, remember to keep a few, I want to take a look."
"Yes." Wang Chi felt very lucky to meet such a magistrate.
"Where is the Big Food Country? Have you guys gone?" Qin Xin is also very interested in the Big Food Country.
Wang Chi shook his head and said solemnly: "After approaching the waters of the Great Food Country, Xianguan sent a small boat to investigate and discovered the cannibal navy. Worried about arousing the enemy, the official returned with the fleet."
Qin Xin said with satisfaction: "Very good. But you don't need to be afraid. The main force of the navy is now in Jiaozhi to cause trouble for Li Rizun. If possible, I will suggest that the navy send out more troops next time to deter Dashi Country."
"Zhizhou, the food merchants are here." A clerk came over and pointed to the right.
On the right is the avenue, and the goods at the terminal must be transported along this avenue.
At this moment, there were many bullock carts on the road, and the big food merchants got out of the car one after another, and then prepared to come over with big smiles. But after seeing the goods on the dock, they were all stunned.
"so many?"
"Oh, lots of ivory, and tortoiseshell."
"There are spices over there, piled up like a mountain."
"Where did the Song people go?"
"Look over there, there are copper coins."
"..."
The food merchants looked solemn, and one of them said: "This is the beginning of large-scale trade for the Song people. After getting the benefits, they will not stop going to sea in the future. What should we do? What should we do?"
"The people of the Song Dynasty went to sea for trade... There were many small countries along the way, but have they reached Dashi? Go and ask. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "
Someone went to ask the boatmen and came back later and said, "No."
The businessmen breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's okay. If they get to Dashi, then we won't be able to trade anymore."
"Song people are not that fierce, are they?"
"Ferocious? Think about it, County Master Shen seems to be smiling, but secretly he wants to drive us out of the Song Dynasty."
"do not talk."
Su Yan is here.
A large food merchant who was close by smiled and said: "Congratulations Su Tongpan, without your insistence on the fleet going to sea, there would be no harvest today. You have made great achievements and your promotion is just around the corner."
Su Yan smiled and cupped his hands, and said calmly: "After the Song Dynasty, the scale of going to sea will become larger and larger, and the scale of the Song Dynasty navy will also become larger and larger..."
The faces of the big food merchants were earth-colored...
