The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 79

?Since it belongs to my husband, grandfather, nephew, and nephew, he can be regarded as his junior.

Commander Xie Xie Mao took Luo Huaiyuan and his party back to his home and gave them a warm welcome.

Luo Huaiyuan naturally didn’t know what Xie Mao was thinking, but Xie Mao, as the capital commander of Fujian Dusi, naturally knew a lot of things that the outside world didn’t know.

Although his faction has never vassalized anyone on the surface, it is actually in the same line as Zhen Guo Gong. Now that the court is arguing over the prohibition of the sea, the father-in-law suddenly comes with a nephew, and he can’t tolerate him to think about it.

One is the old fox and the other is the little fox. They seem to get along very well on the surface, but in fact, I don’t know how many confrontations have taken place below.

They both wanted to play with each other, but in the end, no one trapped anyone.

Luo Huaiyuan stayed in Xie Mao’s residence for three days, and for three consecutive days Xie Mao took a leisurely time to host a banquet in person. From the inside, it’s the big and small foxes clashing against each other. From the outside, it’s not that simple.

Everyone also thought about what anti-Korean hero suddenly emerged from below and created such a big momentum. Could it be that Commander Xie led all of this? Is it to build momentum for younger generations?

Press not to mention.

Xie Mao had dealt with Luo Huaiyuan for a few days, and he also understood that this junior was a dripper. It seemed that he was very young, but in fact he was very thoughtful.

In the end, he confided in a secret, saying that Shen Xuan was about to come to Fujian soon to take up the post of navy chief soldier.

In the previous life, Luo Huaiyuan would naturally not remember who Shen Xuan was, but in this life, he knew everything about the little princess and kept it in his heart. At this time, I heard that Xie Mao mentioned Shen Xuan, so it must not be the other Shen Xuan, it was the one.

The eldest son of Zhen Guogong, Shen Dong’s eldest son, the only one in the Shen family did not follow the old path of the family’s ancestors, but ran out of the navy. You must know that Daxi is still dominated by marines. Although there are naval forces, the glory of the navy in the early years has slowly dimmed in the forbidden sea for nearly a hundred years. Moreover, the land and water are not a family, even if the government of Zhen Guo holds the post of Zuo Du of the Five Army Capital Governor’s House, Shen Xuan can hardly borrow any strength.

Luo Huaiyuan had been well known to Shen Xuan in his previous life, because in the end, the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion was suppressed and declined, but the Emperor Jin never dared to move the Shen family because there was a Shen Xuan in the Shen family.

At that time, Shen Xuan was already the admiral of the Fujian Navy. After the sea ban was lifted, half of Daxi’s fiscal revenue was for maritime trade. Shen Xuan had been operating in the Fujian Navy for a long time, protecting the entire Daxi waters. How dare the Emperor Jin Broke this arm.

After inheriting the past, Luo Huaiyuan had to give a compliment to the veteran of Zhen Guogong at this time.

It seemed that Lord Zhen Guo had already found a good escape route for the Shen family. Otherwise, how could Shen Xuan leave his home to join the navy, and afterwards, by opening the sea forbidden, he would shock Daxi’s entire sea area. The east is not bright and the west is bright. There is always a place where the court and even the saint must rely on the Shen family.

Since Xie Mao pointed out the matter, there is no doubt that he must be the confidant of Zhen Guo Gong. Then why should he test him? Do you think he is shouldering some important responsibilities this time?

Luo Huaiyuan has always used Chen Yun’s pseudonym, so Xie Mao does not know his true identity.

Various thoughts turned in his mind, Luo Huaiyuan smiled slightly: “Don’t think too much about Xie Shibo, in fact, my nephew has nothing else to do this time. If you want to say yes, there are also.”

Xie Mao didn’t change his expression and asked, “What?”

Luo Huaiyuan showed a little embarrassment on his face, and then said: “Uh, what, my nephew guesses that this time the sea ban can be achieved, so I will try the water first to see if I can earn a wife and go back.”

Xie Mao almost didn’t squirt the tea out of his mouth, earning his wife’s money?

He looked at Luo Huaiyuan from top to bottom. Since he is the father-in-law’s nephew, he should be someone who doesn’t need money, so why did he risk coming to such a place, uh, earning his wife’s money?

Of course, this kind of thought is only a moment. Since you can know about the ban on the sea, and the kind of relationship, maybe it’s not as simple as the surface?

Being an official outside all the year round, Xie Mao no longer understands the minds of official officials better.

Names, officials, and wealth.

But there are very few who can really do these points. If you have an official, you have money, but the money depends on how you reach out to make money. If an accidental name is gone, the official will naturally be gone.

If you want to make progress, you have to give gifts to Shangfeng, not to mention gifts, boxing gifts, birthday gifts, etc. All these need money to manage.

If you can sit in his position, or even the position of Zhen Guo Gong, you will not be short of money, because someone will bring it up. But this kind of wealth is not easy to receive casually, because in many cases it is easy to follow and difficult to digest.

Therefore, people with their status are more scrupulous than ordinary people, and even if they are fishing, they have to be honest.

This time Xie Mao knew that it was an opportunity. The court was about to form the Fujian Navy, Shen Xuan was the commander in chief, and he was the admiral of the Fujian Navy. It seems that from the commander in charge of Fujian Dusi to the admiral of a navy, it is the so-called rise and fall. But when it was announced, many people must be jealous.

Why does it take so long to open a sea ban? It is said that everything else is false, but it is because the distribution of benefits is not evenly distributed.

Today, above the court hall, there are a group of civil servants who tear each other up every day, and the Lord Zhenguo sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight silently, but he has planted a few dark moves a long time ago.

No matter how much interest you have, do you have military power? If you want to go to sea for trade, you have to be protected by a navy, and you must pass under the nose of the navy when entering and leaving the port. The entire sea area is controlled by a navy. Will there be a lack of profit at that time? But now that Daxi has banned the sea for more than a hundred years, there are still a few navy masters who can do it. The Chaohu navy who just happened to stay with Shen Xuan is the only one left.

Of course all this is secret, even if someone knows it is tacit.

Then there is a question next, how can we eat it to look good without leaving a trace. Sitting in this position, many people are staring at you and grabbing your pigtails, and many things can’t come out in person.

Could it be that this junior came here for this? Otherwise, how dare you hang around in Fujian with a few people, and there are handwritten scripts, but they won’t take them out until the time comes.

The two foxes, big and small, wanted to go to one place, but unfortunately there was a little difference between them.

Luo Huaiyuan took a sip of the tea in his cup with a leisurely attitude, “I don’t know Shi Bo thinks, after the sea ban, where is the fastest way to get money?”

Xie Mao pondered for a moment, and said slowly: “Our Daxi’s tea, silk, silk, porcelain, sugar, medicinal materials, etc. are very popular in other places.”

Others don’t understand the truth, but Xie Mao, who has been operating in Fujian for decades, understands it. Otherwise, why would the interests of the maritime business group be hindered and turned around and colluded with the Fusang people to attack the inland?

It is broken, but the business route was broken. In order to force the court to ban the sea, can smuggling be compared with doing business in an upright manner?

I can’t.

Of course, there is also the Fusang civil unrest here, and many people cannot survive to exile in the Southeast China Sea. As a result, the small groups of pirates are gradually uncontrollable, but in the final analysis, it is driven by interests.

Luo Huaiyuan nodded slightly. “My nephew sees that Fujian is very depressed. It is said that the Silk City, which was famous in the past, does not know how Suzhou, Hangzhou and Songjiang are now?”

Xie Mao’s eyes flashed, “Suhang Songjiang and other places are much better than ours here. Although there are also pirates, it is not serious.”

“Yes, after all, these are the areas where our Daxi economy is relatively prosperous.”

Xie Mao sighed, “In fact, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places were also greatly affected, otherwise–”

He did not finish the rest, but Luo Huaiyuan understood what he meant.

Fujian is mostly mountainous, where farming is not good, and it is located in the coastal zone. Due to the sea ban, it cannot do business with other small countries, and fishermen have lost the way to survive in the sea. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the important towns in the south. With signs of burning to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the imperial court will not mention the ban on seas again.

Presumably at this moment, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places will not be as relaxed as Xie Mao said.

Thinking of this, Luo Huaiyuan said: “My nephew is here this time and wants to say goodbye to Xie Shibo. My nephew is going to take a trip to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places.”

Xie Mao frowned, “Why is it so in a hurry? The road will definitely not be peaceful, why not wait for the Kou’s disease to calm down a bit, and then set off?”

Luo Huaiyuan smiled freely, “When the scourge subsides, my nephew will be too late to leave.”

“What are you?”

Luo Huaiyuan did not continue to practice Tai Chi. “My nephew wants to see how the sericulture and raw silk are in these places. Suhang and other places mostly grow mulberries. There are both sea bans and the impact of invasion. The price of raw silk is inevitable. Very low. It seems cheap at this time, but not in a few days.”

Xie Mao smiled and said, “Even if you want to buy raw silk, how much can you make?” He didn’t care about this difference.

“Then Ruuo my nephew has a new type of loom, originally only one silk satin was produced every four or five days, but using a new loom can reduce the time by half?”

“Really?!” Raw silk is worthless, but it’s different if raw silk is woven into brocade.

Luo Huaiyuan just smiled but didn’t answer, and said: “If there is no accident, the result will come out around the end of the year. It is the time when the edict is issued in autumn. After a winter, foreign businessmen will inevitably flock to the beginning of the year. The timing is wrong. Even if there are silkworms and nothing to eat, they can’t spit out silk. If there is no large amount of raw silk on the market to buy, where do you say this silk silk Luo comes from?”

In Xie Mao’s eyes, there were many different lights, and he said anxiously: “It is impossible that the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau of the imperial court has no stock, and there are also major merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.”

Luo Huaiyuan smiled freely: “My nephew’s ambition is not big, so he can make a small profit. Since he can get a glimpse of the first opportunity, even if it is a windfall, it is not too small, not too small.”

It’s not too small, but no one dislikes silver.

Luo Huaiyuan’s strength alone is weak, but what if he adds himself? Although many raw silks are purchased from several places in the south of the Yangtze River in Fujian, there are also many mulberry fields in the region.

A lot of things can’t stand deep thinking, and then thinking about the new loom mentioned by Chen Shinephew, isn’t it because of future wealth?

I know that my husband sent such a kid, it’s not that simple, it really is!

“Since my nephew can come to my place, and my father-in-law has entrusted him, he naturally has to help me. I wonder if the new type of loom my nephew said is true, can he open his eyes?”

Luo Huaiyuan smiled with satisfaction, “Of course it can, but it is not convenient to carry around long distances. He only brought drawings. Can Shi Bo find a craftsman whom his nephew can trust?”

“That’s naturally no problem.”

**

With a good start, the rest will naturally not be difficult.

Xie Mao sent his confidant to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang with Luo Huaiyuan to buy raw silk from various places, even some cheap and inferior silk on the market.

During this period, Xie Mao sent a letter to the capital, and the Lord Zhen Guo knew the whole story.

He knew that the kid was not a simple one, but he didn’t expect the action to be so big. Obviously that handwriting is just a simple reference language, how did it develop into a misunderstanding by Xie Mao? However, Lord Zhen Guo also knew about Xie Mao. He had always been scheming, and without a certain reason, he could not get on the pole.

Looking at the statement in the letter again, Lord Zhen Guo smiled bitterly, not to mention Xie Mao, even he was tempted.

You have to know that this is a business that makes a profit without losing money, even if the timing is not so accurate, at the current price, if you put it off later, it can at least double.

As I said earlier, no one will dislike money.

If there is a profit of 20%, the capitalist will be ready to move; if there is a profit of 50%, the capitalist will take risks; if there is a profit of 100%, the capitalists will dare to risk their heads. ; And if there is a profit of 300%, capitalists dare to trample on all the laws of the world.

What’s more, it’s not so serious, but putting the money in and taking it back later will increase many times.

That’s what Luo Huaiyuan is. He puts all his calculations in front of people’s eyes. If you want to step in, it’s up to you to choose.

How to choose the town council?

As I said before, when Luo Huaiyuan went out of the palace to live in the town government mansion, the two families were inevitably implicated. But this time, Luo Huaiyuan and Xie Mao got together, in large part because of their own handwriting.

Ninety-nine heads have been knocked, so why not save this prayer.

The government of Zhen Guo sent someone to Fujian to send a box with two hundred thousand taels of silver bills in the box.

Luo Huaiyuan in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places is even more like a fish, and Xie Mao’s help is there. The several guards he brought this time are also carefully selected, ready to help him in the future. Several waves of people acted separately, sweeping the raw silk market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Of course, it’s not that simple to say that it’s easy to do, because pirates roamed around in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. Luo Huaiyuan and others also encountered pirates several times. Fortunately, the people around him were not bad at their skills. Luo Huaiyuan himself would have done a few. Kung fu, so there is no danger.

But of course it can’t be compared with Hui Niang, Luo Huaiyuan now knows why his little princess wants to give him Hui Niang.

It turned out that he was really a martial arts expert…

The first time I saw Hui Niang sweep across a thousand troops, one person cleaned up more than 20 pirates, and Luo Huaiyuan wanted to rush up and hug his thigh and call for the master.

After that, he was indeed called by him. Who could stand his grinding, with thick skin and sweet mouth, Hui Niang could only teach him a few tricks, and then when he went back, she chased Yan Yan and called the master sister. Let Yan Yan call him Junior Brother…

…

Enough! Is there such a ‘little’ junior who has grown from a little fat man to a big fat man?

The excitement of reuniting after a long absence, was soon worn enough by this trivial thing. If it wasn’t for the younger brother who was waiting for him to tell the story of beating the pirates, Yan Yan really wanted to beat him.

In the past few years, Yan Yan has gradually grown up and her temper is much better than before. Surprisingly, how come I haven’t seen a friend for a long time, but my mentality is so irritable.

Feeling the faint pain in her lower abdomen, Yan Yan tilted on the kang with a sense of sorrow. Luo Huaiyuan was browsing and talking to Yan Mo all the way. He couldn’t help but glanced over here.

“Master sister, are you uncomfortable?”

Yan Yan couldn’t help but roll him a look, don’t think she didn’t know what he was thinking, just want to tease her to call his junior brother.

Luo Huaiyuan touched his nose and smiled dryly, then touched a box from the side.

“This is a bonus. I wanted to bring it a long time ago. I thought about the inconvenience, so I invested it in as a capital. If there is no accident, this time the ship will return, and you can make a lot of money.”

Luo Huaiyuan’s initial expectations did not fail.

When their acquisition progressed to the middle stage, many people who had received the news also mixed in. There are many large local merchants, and the price of raw silk has skyrocketed from the first low, the longer the higher.

Luo Huaiyuan persisted for a while, and then he no longer competed with others for the final share. He concealed it when he saw it, and turned his head back to Fujian to find his loom factory.

This idea has been brewing for a long time, and it is longer than the idea of ​​grilling skewers.

If you want to make money, you can only grab a blank market. Daxi’s domestic market share has been occupied by merchants who have accumulated over the past century. If you want to grab meat from people’s mouths, it is no less than grabbing food from a tiger’s mouth. Of course, there will certainly not be fewer people stationed there, because everyone knows that maritime trade is huge profits, and his only advantage is to take the lead, and there is the drawing of the loom in his hand.

Thank you for doing your homework seriously in the last life. At that time, Luo Huaiyuan checked a lot of information in order to write a historical novel that traveled through the Ming Dynasty. Including the actor’s golden finger, in order to be able to convince the public, he also studied for a long time in order not to let the testimony party pick and prick.

Taken from the Toyota-style wooden manual loom that was the most efficient in modern times, the principle of this loom is that the yarn can be inserted horizontally by pushing and pulling back and forth with one hand, which simplifies the complicated operation steps. The efficiency is naturally increased by more than 70%.

Of course, there are more suitable hydraulic looms. Unfortunately, Luo Huaiyuan did not study mechanical engineering. The number of stages is not high enough, but it is enough even if it is. The hydraulic looms can be slowly developed in the future.

After that is a long preparation phase.

In October of the nineteenth year of Xiyuan, the imperial court issued an edict to lift the ban on the sea, and the coastal areas and other places held the city to celebrate.

The first port opened by the imperial court was Fuzhou Port in Fuzhou, Fujian, where the Shibo Division was established. Several other coastal ports have not been opened, but everyone knows that it is just around the corner.

The pirates disappeared in Fujian, and a few scattered guerrillas were killed by the local guards one by one. Fujian, which has been suffering and devastated, is slowly returning to life.

In the spring of the following year, foreign businessmen flocked to the Southeast China Sea, lined up in the open sea, and arrived at Fuzhou Port under the support of the Fujian Navy.

When you get off the boat, it is like a beggar who has been hungry for a long time rushing into the mountains and seas of delicacies.

At this moment, no one will be able to bargain. Finally, Daxi opened the sea ban. Who knows if Daxi’s wayward emperor will change his temper again. Naturally, more will be better. Anyway, if you ship to other places, you will earn a lot of money. Full.

This hot deal lasted for a whole month, and merchant ships from other places continued to flock to Fuzhou Port, but there was nothing to sell on the market, and the owners of the merchant ships did not leave, sitting there waiting for the goods to arrive.

This situation stunned not only the officials of the local city ship department, but also the emperor Xi in the capital.

The small foreign merchants were very satisfied, and the big merchants who came to trade here were also very satisfied. Luo Huaiyuan, who made a fortune in a muffled voice, naturally made a lot of money.

…

With the first accumulation of funds, the rest will be better developed.

Luo Huaiyuan got on the line with Shen Xuan very early. Although Shen Xuan had always had a cold face and didn’t talk much with Luo Huaiyuan, he probably knew the relationship between them, which gave Luo Huaiyuan a lot of convenience.

Luo Huaiyuan officially began to buy and sell, until he gathered a large sum of money in his hands, he began to build merchant ships. Before he returned, the two merchant ships sailed to Ryukyu and Siam. There were also a dozen other merchant ships who were escorted by the Fujian Navy. If there is no accident, everyone will make a lot of money after the merchant ships return.

Of course, the Fujian Navy is not without benefits. It can draw a certain share from each merchant ship according to the transaction amount. It is said that this line is still led by Luo Huaiyuan.

Everyone is very satisfied.

Merchants are satisfied with the safety of travel. After all, this is different from others, but there are pirates at sea. The Fujian navy is satisfied with the benefits. After all, with so many people going up and down, eating meat on their heads and drinking soup on their heads is a common practice.

Everyone takes what they need.

…

Yan Yan took the box and opened it to take a look.

She probably knew that she had made a lot of money, but she didn’t expect that she would get nearly thirty thousand taels in exchange for less than six thousand taels. You must know that this is only a bonus for this time. Luo Huaiyuan, a bonus from the previous business, helped her invest in it again, and then made more and more money. Now the two merchant ships that are going to sea and even the cargo on it, she and her brother Accounted for half of it.

Don’t underestimate this half. You must know that in the entire interest chain, Zhen Guo Gong also accounted for 30%, the other Xie Mao accounted for 30%, Luo Huaiyuan accounted for 30%, and the remaining 10%, Yan Yan and Shen Xuan each half.

Yan Yan looked at the transformed Luo Xiaopang in front of her. She was chubby, weird and cute at the time, but now she is bigger. Luo Huaiyuan is tall, only fifteen this year, and he is about the same as an adult man. Coupled with a lot of flesh on the body, it will feel that it takes up a lot of space.

The eyebrows are also long open, a big fat face, round eyes, a small dimple on the left cheek with a smile. I’ve been to the coast for so long, but I haven’t seen any tanning, and I’m still very tender.

She felt a little sigh in her heart, and everyone had to sigh, which young man under twelve years old could go out for a lap and create such a foundation? I am afraid it is unique.

“Then I will accept it.” Yan Yan was also not polite.

Yan’er came to tell her that his wife called for a meal, but Yan Yan didn’t move, and shook her hand, “You two go, I won’t go, I’ll go back and lie down for a while.”

Luo Huaiyuan opened his mouth to ask, looked at the sadness on Yan Yan’s face, and closed his mouth again.

Yan Yan returned to Guiyan Pavilion, while Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Mo went to Jinhuatang.

On the way, Luo Huaiyuan asked Yan Mo secretly, “What’s wrong with your sister?”

Yan Mo thought for a while, then said, “My sister has grown up.”

He also listened to his mother. ?
