After a while of turmoil, King Yu came out with joy and asked him to go to Qian’s restaurant to buy it, and invited Qian Yuan and Gao Gong to have hot pot together... It must be noted that this time he went with the silver.

It has been more than a month since Qian Yuan first visited him. He tasted once that King Yu was extremely dissatisfied with the skills of the chefs in the mansion. He had to eat dishes from Qian's restaurant every now and then. At first, he brought silver there, but later Qian Yuan sent a message to Prince Yu's mansion to make a white note.

For this reason, Gao Gong is now a little shaking in front of Qian Yuan... It's embarrassing, I've taught such a student!

Feeling the hot eyes from King Yu, Qian Yuan couldn't help but turn his head, your wife is pregnant... It really has nothing to do with me!

Qian Yuan and Gao Gong looked at each other and couldn't help but lower their heads. After knowing that the student's wife was pregnant, the old man was obviously in a state of excitement, and the look he looked at was a little wrong.

Qian Yuan could understand that until now, Emperor Jiajing has not appointed a crown prince... It is very likely that he will not be appointed. Once Prince Yu has a son, his status will not be shaken. Even if he is born with a daughter, it also means that he can give birth to him.

"Zhan Cai's words come true, and the trouble will be corrected in the future." Gao Gong held the wine glass in his hand, "and Zhan Cai needs to help..."

Gao Gong was more subtle, so King Yu was a little straightforward, and he bounced his body and asked, "Zhancai, when did you say you are alone..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Qian Yuan interrupted King Yu's words with desperate cough. Gao Gong, who was beside him, frowned, and King Yu immediately shrank back.

Both of these guys mean the same thing, otherwise... if you come back, let’s talk about King Yu Hongfu Qitian, maybe you will be able to ascend the throne tomorrow...

Alas, when King Yu wanted to make money, Qian Yuan insisted on changing the topic, but now King Yu wanted... Qian Yuan had to pull the topic back, but this was also in his plan.

"It is difficult to make wine in large quantities... that is, it is difficult to make wine in large quantities. Firstly, it is because the secret recipe cannot be leaked, and secondly, it is because it consumes a lot of food." Qian Yuan said carefully: "There is another reason. In contrast, the grassland tribes prefer this kind of fine wine, but not everyone can sell wine to the grassland."

King Yu knew nothing about this and could only look at Gao Gong. The latter stroked his beard and thought for a while before asking, "What is Zhan talking about Shanxi merchants?"

"Yes, they have always been like this. It is difficult for outsiders to get started with large-scale goods trading with grassland tribes." Qian Yuan explained: "Even if we open up the links of Shanxi merchants, they will not let us participate directly, but sell the wine to them, but the price is..."

In fact, in order to use later business vocabulary, Shanxi merchants have grasped the sales channels. If you want to sell the wine to the grassland, you must pay a high channel fee.

"Where is the soap, bath beans?" King Yu was a little discouraged, but he also knew the importance of it.

"Who is willing to buy the price of the sale?" Qian Yuan said mercilessly: "If you sell it cheaply, you must make money in large quantities... Then the recipe cannot be kept, and the big head will definitely not fall into our hands."

Gao Gong held the chopsticks and picked up a piece of paper-thin mutton in the copper hot pot. After changing color, he picked it up and dipped it in some sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. From the corner of his eyes, Qian Yuan, who was sincere and sincere.

"Okay." Gao Gong put down his chopsticks, "Zhan Cai had something to say, I and Your Highness are not outsiders."

King Yu's eyes lit up and he said angrily: "Zhancai, you are the lonely lucky star. If you have something to say, what will you do?"

Gao Gong sneered: "Your Highness, you can't blame Zhan Cai. He is like this before His Majesty, speaking indirectly, and being cautious."

"The father is the father, and the orphan is the orphan." King Yu's face was a little stiff. He had nothing to say about the blessing of Emperor Jiajing... Later, Emperor Jiajing passed away, and Xu Jie almost scolded Emperor Jiajing as a dog with the will of his pen. King Yu might have secretly been happy.

"Actually, the key to doing business is that people don't have it, people have it, and people have it, and with the loyal shopkeepers and friends, shops are everywhere in the world." Qian Yuan said in detail: "Can you provide a secret recipe for soap, but does Your Highness have such a man?"

King Yu immediately shook his head. The palace was not equipped with enough staff. The few people who were considered to be Hanlin were all from Hanlin. Who would take care of ordinary affairs?

"But there is a way that doesn't require too much manpower, you only need to take a little risk, but once you succeed, you will make a hundred times the profit..."

Halfway through Qian Yuan's words, Gao Gong's wine glass was placed heavily on the table. His face changed, he lowered his voice and shouted loudly: "Are you talking about Haimao?!"

Qian Yuan was not surprised that Gao Gong saw through this. Although he had never shown it in front of him before, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with Uncle Shi?"

"The court strictly enforces the ban on the sea. If you want to die, don't drag Your Highness Yu into the water..."

Since Ligang was destroyed and Japanese pirates invaded the southeast, the governor of Zhejiang Province held the troops of six provinces. The topic of sea trade has not appeared in the court for a long time. Even officials with vested interests from Zhejiang and Fujian were afraid to mention it.

As a Fujian native, Li Mo was said to have complained about Zhu Wan at that time, but after the resurgence, he was encountering the Japanese invasion in the southeast, and he always strongly supported the Japanese suppression in the southeast.

"Uncle Shi, let me finish my words." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Father, Brother Xian participated in the maritime trade ten years ago. Of course, he did not go out to sea, so I know the benefits of it very well."

"Generally speaking, going to sea is risky, but the profit is extremely high. Ten taels of silver for tea and satin are sold to Japan, at least forty taels of silver."

"The ship is only big or small. If calculated based on tea and satin, a ship of cargo will generally not be less than a thousand taels of silver."

King Yu heard it very seriously and calculated it, "That is to say, one thousand taels of silver will take you to go for four thousand taels of silver?"

Qian Yuan shook his head, "Your Highness doesn't know that Japan is different from the Ming Dynasty. Silver is expensive and gold is cheap. Ten taels of silver are sold for 40 taels of silver in Japan. They are exchanged for gold and brought back to the Ming Dynasty. Then exchanged for silver is about 300 taels of silver."

As King Yu listened, his breathing became rapid and his nostrils became thicker... Gao Gongting, who was on the side, was speechless. Hey, it was all because Qian Yuan had ruined His Highness!

Qian Yuan didn't give up yet, and added fire. "In fact, the profit is far higher than this ratio. Many ships sold their goods to Nanyang, and the profit was small. Then they went to Japan on the way back... They would directly use boxes filled with gold as ballasts when they returned to the Ming Dynasty."

King Yu no longer hesitated and resolutely turned his head to look at Gao Gong.

"It's impossible." Gao Gong immediately shook his head, "It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhancai, but that it's impossible for the ban on sea bans in the court."

"Master Gao, remember you have said before that it is not a good thing to strictly enforce the sea ban." King Yu rarely talked to Gao Gong back, "Now who doesn't know that the court is short of money, the Japanese in the southeast, the chieftains in the southwest, the dragons in the northwest turned over, and were robbed by Altan again, if there is money..."

King Yu said more and more vigorously, "Heaven and earth produce wealth, and they have their own fixed numbers. If they take it, they will be able to use it with restraints. If they use it, they will be able to use it without restraints. If they use it without restraints, they will be able to use it without restraints."

"Master Gao, Gu thought this was wrong. If money is determined, how can the money exchanged overseas be calculated?"

Qian Yuan had to look at King Yu with admiration. He had read the memorial before Zhang Juzheng took leave from the Hanlin Academy to go south. "On Current Affairs Commentary". Zhang Juzheng also held the view that heaven and earth make money and had his own fixed numbers. Unexpectedly, King Yu...

Perhaps this is the origin of the Longqing switch later, that is, starting with the Longqing switch, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty had a legal status.

During the Longqing, Wanli and Tianqi periods, one-third of the world's silver poured into China, and more than 70% of the world's overseas trade was more or less related to China.

Gao Gong and King Yu fought over and over again, both of them were blushing and thick-necked. The former did not have any prejudice against sea trade, otherwise the Longqing switch could not be implemented. It was just that they knew the current direction of the current stroke. The general environment did not allow the lifting of the sea ban and allowed trade.

But King Yu now has the awareness of seeing the world as the thing in his pocket... Well, it is mainly the courage given to his wife's pregnancy.
