- Those who sell their bodies outside sell their bodies for five to seven taels of silver, which is already a very high price.
Usually those who sell themselves don¡¯t even ask for money, they just want a bite to eat. But even then, they rarely find buyers.
Girls and boys, or able-bodied men are more likely to find buyers. Other than that, no one cares about the old and weak people.
?If a girl is more beautiful, she will be more popular.
¡°After all, if you buy those girls, train them, sell them to the Jiangnan area and resell them, you can make very high profits.
Zhao Hongyu gave a price of ten taels of silver to everyone, old or weak, which made Zhu Shangwu very excited.
Not to mention Zhu Shangwu, even Eunuch Xue, who was standing next to Zhu Shangwu, felt that the deal could be done after listening to the quotation.
"They are just some bankrupt refugees. You can make money by selling them. This business is worth doing."
The court cannot take care of these people, and leaving them alone will cause turmoil.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s better to sell it to Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Besides, even if Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t buy it, those people are still selling themselves in order to survive and have enough food to avoid starving to death.
Faced with such a situation, it would be better to just go with the flow and sell it to Zhao Hongyu.
They sell themselves, but they still can¡¯t get a good price, and they can¡¯t even get money.
But if the imperial court organizes these people and sells them to Zhao Hongyu, at least the imperial court can get money, and they can contribute a little to the imperial treasury.
"Your Majesty, this sale is possible, and the price is very fair. The prices outside are not as high as this price, which shows that the crown prince is not cheating anyone."
Thinking of this, Eunuch Xue reminded Zhu Shangwu in a low voice.
With Eunuch Xue¡¯s reminder, Zhu Shangwu was completely relieved.
Although he was already tempted, he never agreed. The reason was that he didn't know the population price outside and was afraid that he would suffer a loss if his price was too low.
It¡¯s okay now. Eunuch Xue, who knows this information, reminded Zhu Shangwu what else to worry about now.
"Okay! Let's do it at this price, but I don't know how many people you need?"
Zhao Hongyu smiled and replied: "As long as you give me as many people as you want, Your Highness, I will pay you as much money as you want and I will never default on it. Anyway, I have already lent you five million taels of silver. You can pay back the money when the time comes." Just deduct it from this when you pay, so you don¡¯t have to worry about me defaulting on my debt, right?¡±
Zhu Shangwu liked Zhao Hongyu's proposal very much.
"Yes, Zhao Hongyu took five million taels of silver and handed it over to himself. With the money in hand, he didn't have to worry about the other party not giving him the money after handing it over.
"And if I can hand over many, many people, then in the end, I won't have to pay back the five million taels of silver."
Hahaha!
This is a good thing.
"Some refugees who are a burden and hidden danger to the imperial court can bring large sums of money to the imperial court. This is a great thing. Only an idiot would not agree to it.
At this time, Zhu Shangwu was really happy.
Yes, he has never been so happy, this is the first time in his life.
¡°That¡¯s it, it¡¯s settled, no matter male or female, old or young, it¡¯s all ten taels of silver!¡±
Zhu Shangwu extended his chubby hand to Zhao Hongyu¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Your Highness, ten taels of silver per person is a bit much. If we don't go through the court, we can actually buy a lot of people with only three or four taels of silver. Now that the Jurchens are besieging the city, all the refugees have entered City, so there are many hungry refugees in the city, so we don¡¯t need to cooperate with the court at all.¡±
By this time, Zhao Hongyu and the others had left the palace and returned to their residence.
After returning, Master Wang asked in confusion.
It was really hard for Mrs. Wang to understand Zhao Hongyu¡¯s approach.
According to his idea, as long as he takes out the money, there will be many people who want to buy it without it.
Now let alone money, if you give me five kilograms of grain, many people will be willing to follow.
Not to mention taking out real money.
¡°And it¡¯s still ten taels of silver, regardless of age or gender.
If you buy some strong adult men, the price is still acceptable, but what's the use of buying those old and weak ones.
Mrs. Wang??It is almost foreseeable that the population provided by the court at that time will definitely be mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.
The Crown Prince will definitely suffer this loss.
Now that Lao Wang is from the Song Dynasty, he has to consider this matter for the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Hongyu, who was lying under the eaves of the corridor, smiled lightly when he heard this and looked at Mrs. Wang who looked anxious.
"I know this well, even if it's the old and the weak, I want it. After these people buy it back, they will stay in San Francisco. Don't you also have 200 acres of land in San Francisco? How about I give you some?" "
Mrs. Wang shook her head in confusion.
"My Highness, what do I want the old, weak, sick and disabled to do? Of course I also need manpower, but what I need is strong labor, not asking dad to go back to support them."
There really aren¡¯t that many humorous guys.
Zhao Hongyu complained in his heart.
"Old Wang, you don't have to worry about this. The old and the weak are old and weak, and the elderly also have their benefits. I can't explain it to you for a while. In short, when the Ming Dynasty has hired someone, you will have to get busy."
well!
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was unwilling to talk more about this matter, Mrs. Wang could not continue talking about this topic.
What a waste of money.
In order to pay off the five million taels of silver, the imperial court will definitely find a lot of refugees, but the quality of these refugees is anyone¡¯s guess, so it will definitely not be good.
How many of these people will make it to San Francisco?
With such a long sea journey, many people must have died on the way.
"Well, since Your Highness already knows what's going on, I won't go into details." Mrs. Wang nodded. "But Your Highness, now that the Jurchens are outside the city, it is obviously impossible to retreat in a short time. What should we do now?"
"This thing is easy to handle!" Zhao Hongyu, who was lying on the recliner, clapped his hands gently, "I think selling some weapons to the imperial court will allow them to defend the capital in a short period of time. At least I guarantee that the city will not be destroyed, right?" "
Want to sell weapons to the imperial court?
Mrs. Wang¡¯s eyes twitched.
"Your Highness, there is something wrong with this matter. We have sharp weapons in the Song Dynasty and they are sharp weapons for the country. Such sharp weapons must not be leaked to others. How can they be sold to the imperial court?"
After all, Master Wang¡¯s thinking was different from that of Zhao Hongyu. What he thought was the power of muskets, which was the foundation and guarantee of the Song Dynasty.
How could such a powerful weapon be sold to others so easily?
¡°If this weapon was possessed and cracked, what advantage would the Song Dynasty have?
¡°The so-called, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, selling weapons must never be done.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Hongyu was a little puzzled for a moment when he saw Mrs. Wang being so nervous.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu asking questions, Mrs. Wang quickly explained and told Zhao Hongyu her own opinions.
And after listening to Master Wang¡¯s words and understanding his thoughts, Zhao Hongyu felt like he couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.
There is no technology at all for this old-fashioned musket, and there is no need to hide it like this.
??Besides, although this old-fashioned musket has no technological content, it is still ahead of the world in some aspects. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to crack it, it would definitely take a lot of effort.
It will take several years no matter what.
In a few years, the weapons of the Song Dynasty may have become more up-to-date.
When the time comes, just sell new weapons to Ming Dynasty.
¡°And the sale of weapons would be absolutely huge profits in another time and space. As a person from another time and space, how could Zhao Hongyu not know this?
Now that he has connected with the Ming Dynasty and has met the wonderful Zhu Shangwu, he would be an idiot if he did not start the arms trade.
And with the profits from the arms trade, I can also let Zhu Shangwu continue to trade people with me.
So, the arms trade must be done with the Ming court.
¡°As long as the Ming court does arms business with them, then even if they get on their own pirate ship, it will not be so easy to get off.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu did this to help the Ming Dynasty.
Because the situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time is basically consistent with the historical trend of another time and space. There are Jurchens and Jin Kingdom on the outside, and there are uprisings and beacons everywhere inside.
To be honest, ?Whether it was the short-lived Dashun Dynasty or the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty, Zhao Hongyu didn't like them very much.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
But the Ming Dynasty is now riddled with holes, and it is not easy to support it.
What's more, Zhao Hongyu can't give it to Daming.
In that case, wouldn¡¯t he become a fool?
Therefore, wouldn¡¯t it be better to not only make money through trade but also support the Ming Dynasty?
¡°The arms trade can obviously achieve this goal.
The Ming army had advanced muskets, so it could have some advantage against the Jurchen cavalry.
As long as the Central Plains is not occupied by the Jurchens and a history like another time and space appears, it will be fine for Zhao Hongyu.
For Dongfang, Zhao Hongyu really has no ambitions.
He doesn¡¯t want to conquer and kill on this land. After all, everyone is the descendant of Yan and Huang.
¡°Besides, the Americas, Europe and the Arab world alone are enough for Zhao Hongyu to conquer.
And now Zhao Hongyu has not completely occupied America, it is just a situation on paper.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu can only support rather than conquer the East.
"It was impossible for Mrs. Wang to know all this.
And it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to tell him so clearly.
"Go to the Lifan Yuan and ask them to tell Emperor Zhu Shangwu that I have a batch of weapons to sell to them to use against the Jurchens outside the city. The price is very cheap." (To be continued.
