- Li Xiang heard the taste from the Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu and knew that the Crown Prince did not trust the Japanese very much.
In fact, Li Xiang doesn¡¯t trust the Japanese very much either.
Therefore, Li Xiang was very happy that Zhao Hongyu had such an idea.
For Li Xiang, Zhao Hongyu is of Yanhuang blood and a descendant of the Song Dynasty, so he can accept it psychologically. But the Japanese are different. In Li Xiang's mind, the Japanese are aliens.
Originally, he was a little worried that if Kyushu was left in charge of the girl Tokugawa Kayo, over time, the Japanese retainers of the Tokugawa family would become ambitious.
But looking at it now, my worries are completely unnecessary.
¡°The existence of my own naval force is equivalent to putting a yoke on the Japanese. Even if they wanted to get rid of the control of the Song Empire, it would be impossible.
Of course, what Li Xiang didn¡¯t know was that Zhao Hongyu had already made arrangements. Li Xiang is not the only force that restrains the Tokugawa family.
For example, the "Imperial Alliance Army" led by Yuji Kawabe was placed in Satsuma Domain, and as smart as Yuji Kawabe, he certainly knew what he should do.
Another example is Hattori Onizo, who was in charge of the Tokugawa Ninja Army. He was also given the status of a military commander and transferred away from Tokugawa Kayo.
These are all things arranged to prevent the Tokugawa family from getting bigger.
The most important thing is that Zhao Hongyu will also station the imperial gene soldiers in Nagasaki, so that Kyushu will not be out of Zhao Hongyu's control at all.
Especially now that people here in Kyushu have made money, their desire to consume is very strong. Then a large amount of goods need to be filled in here to meet the needs of the people of Kyushu.
From the perspective of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the products produced here in Kyushu simply cannot satisfy the people of Kyushu after they get rich.
So, Zhao Hongyu can show off his skills here.
Because he has an incredible cheating device, he can supply a large amount of supplies.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu also makes money by supplying supplies and commodities.
After all, when people in Kyushu consume, they use a lot of gold to buy goods. Who makes gold cheap here in Japan? Zhao Hongyu can¡¯t do anything without earning this money.
At the same time, the goods and supplies here in Kyushu will not only be sold here in Kyushu.
Businessmen from the Japanese mainland will also purchase large quantities of goods through gray channels, and then bring them back to the chaotic Japanese mainland for sale.
Inside and outside, Zhao Hongyu and he made a lot of money.
Now it is only targeting the Japanese market. As time goes by, Zhao Hongyu will even be able to expand the market to Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asia.
You must know that the products Zhao Hongyu has on hand are definitely unique to this era, and no one can imitate them.
Therefore, this creates a commercial monopoly.
Everyone knows that monopoly is very profitable.
So, how could Zhao Hongyu not make money?
Looking back, we can see that because these commodities satisfy people¡¯s consumption, people have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life.
Therefore, the people here in Jiuzhou will basically have a favorable impression of the Song Dynasty's rule. Even if Tokugawa Kayo wants to get rid of the Song Empire in the future, will the people follow her?
She has no way to provide such goods for everyone to enjoy.
Is it possible that some people are really mean and want to go back to the old days of eating two meals a day and eating wild vegetables every meal?
Thinking about it, there shouldn¡¯t be such idiots in this world.
In other words, Zhao Hongyu slowly affected Tokugawa Kayo's appeal to Kyushu through the improvement of living standards and everyone getting used to enjoying this kind of life.
When the time comes, the Tokugawa family will slowly become a symbol.
In fact, there are already signs of this happening.
Especially the Japanese people living in Nagasaki.
If you ask them who Tokugawa Kayo is, although they know that he is the governor of Kyushu, everyone is very disapproving of Tokugawa Kayo.
Because everyone knows very well that everything they can enjoy now was brought by the Song people.
??such as meat that was impossible to eat before, rice, and various non-staple foods that they had never seen before. These were only available under the rule of the Song Dynasty. If it were replaced by Japanese lords, where would there be such a good life?
For everything Zhao Hongyu has done,??Li Xiang couldn't understand it at all.
With the passage of time, the Japanese have become accustomed to this kind of life. Even if something unexpected happens, they will not get used to it.
Thinking about it, life is so good nowadays.
When I think about the life I had before, I feel pitiful and shabby.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but it is easy to go from frugality to luxury. This is the truth.
It was through this invisible means that Zhao Hongyu gradually allowed the Japanese people in Kyushu to get used to such a "luxurious" life, making it impossible for them to live the same life as before.
"I plan to set up a branch of the umbrella company here in Kyushu, and set up a Far East trade department. It mainly deals with domestic products and trade with Eastern countries. Do you have any opinions or suggestions on this?"
Zhao Hongyu asked Li Xiangdao seriously.
Now that Jiuzhou has fallen into his hands, Zhao Hongyu decided to develop Jiuzhou.
While developing, trade with the East must also be launched in a timely manner.
After all, development in the Americas also requires a lot of money.
It is not enough to just rely on the trade between Europe and the Arabs.
If you can open up another source of income, why not do it.
There is much more gold in the East than in the West.
Especially in the East, there are some products that can be sold at high prices in the virtual world.
Hearing this, Li Xiang sat up straight and her expression became serious.
"Your Highness, I wonder what kind of products the empire has for sale?"
Although Li Xiang is a pirate, he also works part-time as a maritime merchant while being a pirate.
"Collecting protection fees and so on is just part of his business.
"What kind of business did you do before?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
When Zhao Hongyu asked him about the business, Li Xiang thought for a while and replied: "The most profitable business is, of course, transporting copper from the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country. The profit is huge. "
Speaking of this deal, Li Xiang suddenly became elated.
Yes, there is a shortage of copper in Japan, so the price of copper is very high.
A shipload of copper coins transported from the Ming Dynasty can be exchanged for gold worth several times the value in the Japanese country. The price of gold in Japan was very cheap, so the price difference could make people make a fortune.
"When the gold returned to the Ming Dynasty and was converted into silver, the capital could be doubled five or six times in one trip.
This is the largest amount of business done by maritime merchants in this era.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu will not do this transaction because the price cannot be matched.
The price of copper in the virtual world has been rising. Although it can be exchanged for gold, although the profit is there, it is not as good as other transactions.
In fact, for Zhao Hongyu, it is most cost-effective to exchange industrial silver for Japanese gold.
"Besides, what else can you do to make money?"
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, then continued to ask after making some calculations.
Seeing that the crown prince Zhao Hongyu was very interested in doing business, Li Xiang suddenly became energetic.
In fact, Li Xiang is more interested in doing business than pirates.
¡°Even in Li Xiang¡¯s own heart, he always felt that he would be even better if he didn¡¯t become a pirate and became a businessman.
Of course, Li Xiang ignored the fact that if he had not become a pirate first, then the maritime business he wanted to do would not be so easy.
So, if Li Xiang thinks that he is a business genius or something, that is all his own fault.
You must know that during those years when he monopolized the Eastern Sea Trade Channel, doing business through his power was much more convenient than ordinary merchants. Not to mention the amount of capital he had accumulated after becoming a pirate.
Is this something that ordinary businessmen can compare to?
However, problems like this were ignored by Li Xiang, who considered himself a business genius.
"Your Highness, when it comes to doing business here, there are a lot of people who want to make money." Li Xiang looked at Zhao Hongyu and said to him with gleaming eyes. "A girl from Goryeo can only be bought for a few taels of silver, but if she sells it to a wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty, she can turn it around dozens of times. This is just a girl's profit, like a big ship carrying a It won¡¯t be a problem for a hundred people, so if you do it well at one time and earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, it will be the same as playing.¡±
Li Xiang licked itLicking dry lips, foaming at the mouth.
It can be seen that Li Xiang is really not interested in doing business.
"And think about it, Your Highness, it would be a waste to just carry some Korean women in such a big ship, so every time you bring some valuable medicinal materials that are easy to carry, you can make more money. Like It¡¯s Laoshan ginseng from Goryeo, and Dongzhu from Jurchens from Liaodong, these are all money-making stuff.¡±
Li Xiang was foaming at the mouth as she spoke, but Zhao Hongyu showed no interest in hearing it.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu will not do human trafficking.
¡°Don¡¯t look at him encouraging genetic citizens over in Manhattan to buy slaves, but buying and selling are different.
¡°Besides, there is a lot of cultivated farmland in Manhattan and Quebec. Someone has to plant these fertile fields, right?
And the Song Empire has only been established for a little more than three years, so where did so many people come from?
Therefore, in order to have enough labor force, we can only buy black slaves trafficked by Europeans from Africa.
We can¡¯t let all genetic people farm.
You must know that in the plan of Zhao Hongyu and other high-level officials of the empire, the Chinese people within the empire are not allowed to farm and must become a group of the ruling class.
So, hard work like farming can only be left to foreigners.
However, the Chinese people in the Song Empire could buy slaves, but they could not capture or sell slaves.
In order that such a dark history would not be recorded in future history books, Zhao Hongyu took precautions against this.
When the time comes, it will be up to Europeans to bear the blame and the history that has brought pain to black people.
It has to be said that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s approach is typical of being obedient even if he gets an advantage.
Although he was not interested in the business of selling Korean women that Li Xiang mentioned, he was interested in what Li Xiang said about the abundance of wild ginseng in Korea.
As a visitor from another time and space, Zhao Hongyu knows very well how expensive a piece of wild ginseng is according to its quality and weight.
And the virtual world, which is the same as the modern world, seems to have a big gap in this stuff.
No!
It is even said that as long as there is, then there will be a market.
?????????????????????????????????? There are a lot of wild people from decades, not to mention hundreds of years.
But in the virtual world, it is not surprising that a wild ginseng that is hundreds of years old can be sold for hundreds of millions.
After all, this thing has become extinct due to the destruction of the ecological environment.
¡°At the same time, there are so many rich people. In order to save their lives or get a big supplement, the wealthy people who don¡¯t care about money will definitely not care about the price.
And the medicinal value of ginseng, which is hundreds of years old, is indeed very high.
Rich people don¡¯t care about money.
There¡¯s nothing strange about selling it for hundreds of millions.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Money is our fucking wipe.
But the thing about wild ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years is real.
Strictly speaking, even if the ginseng is hundreds of years old, it is not worth the price.
But you can¡¯t resist someone willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Zhao Hongyu feels that this business can be done, but it must be done slowly and steadily.
¡°And this is for trade in the virtual world, so he still needs to find a few more profit points.
¡°For example, the business of selling Korean girls is not allowed.
¡°After all, he can¡¯t sell the Korean girl to the virtual world.
?Obviously this is unlikely.
There are not many people playing with pearls in modern times, so the Jurchens¡¯ Dongzhu may not have a big path.
Damn it, Zheng Zhilong occupied the southern sea area, blocking the sea passage to Siam and South Vietnam.
Otherwise, you can go over there and get some jade or jade raw stones.
The rough stones these days are definitely of higher quality than modern ones, and the jade or jade produced is also better.
In the past, it is possible to get hundreds of raw stones a year, and it can also have billions or even tens of billions of accounts.
It is not a problem at all to sell a good rough stone for 100 million.
¡°In this era, wouldn¡¯t it be very easy to get rough stones?
Zhao Hongyu listened to Li Xiang constantly telling him about the business that could be done at sea, and he slowly started to move in his heart.
Zhao Hongyu became excited when he thought about this issue.
At the same time, it also greatly confirmed the determination to kill Zheng Zhilong.
At the very least, if you don¡¯t kill Zheng Zhilong, you must also destroy his Zheng family¡¯s pirate fleet. You must not let them stand in the way of making a fortune.
Think about it, the trade you can do now is to exchange industrial silver for Japanese gold.
At the same time, wild ginseng can also be purchased from Korea.
Of course, some copycat products in the virtual world must also be promoted.
¡°For example, genetically modified rice and meat, as well as various counterfeit daily necessities, are all businesses that can make money slowly and steadily.
Zhao Hongyu will not give up.
It¡¯s just that the exchange of Korean ginseng and industrial silver for gold can make his assets increase dramatically in a short period of time (To be continued.
