Chapter 229 The Silk Road of the Horse

Tian Liyi's two nephews took two little eunuchs to the door, but although they left, they pricked up their ears to hear a word in the door clearly. As long as they could hear a few words, they could make a fortune. However, Liu Peng smiled and moved a chair opposite Yao Zhuo: "Sister Yao, I didn't expect that the first time we were alone in private is like this..."

Yao Zhuo is a very charming woman. She always reveals her charm inadvertently. However, when she is really alone with Liu Peng, she looks particularly solemn and solemn: "Mr. Liu, since you have sent them all away, let's speak softly and finalize this matter first. What kind of raw silk transaction can make more than 100,000 taels of silver a year."

Yao Zhuo could not understand this, and according to Liu Peng's meaning, it was to purchase raw silk from Songjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture and other places in Jiangnan silk production, and then transport it back to Shandong. This is completely opposite to the current normal trade route.

Before, Liu Peng had already explained Wang Daoyi's plan to hide the truth clearly, and also made Yao Zhuo understand that Longkou's business profit is quite considerable, and the gross profit in a year is at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels. She was moved at the time and thought that Tian Liyi could make a profit. However, although the gross profit is considerable, she didn't know how much net profit it had. The water was too deep.

But now Liu Peng's ideas are completely different from Wang Daoyi, but the benefits he promised are too tempting, which makes the doubts in Yao Zhuo's eyes never eliminated, but Liu Peng is different from her talking about specific details. Although she lowered her voice, the meaning was even heavier: "Sister Yao, why are you so nervous? I am just twelve courageous, and I dare not do your idea. Dig the foot of the Yoshidao Shaoguan, let alone he is the person who has been promoted to a real eunuch."

The matter of Tian Liyi being promoted to a real eunuch seems too far away, but because it is too far away, Yao Zhuo feels that he must fight: "Mr. Liu, let's talk for a long time, and if we have a good time, we will have a good time to talk. If we are family members in the future, we will regard it as an enemy if we fail!"

This is the eunuch's style of conducting. Liu Peng had to respect Yao Zhuo for a while. She must have been by Tian Liyi for many years, so the market also had a bit of the vicious style of eunuch: "Sister Yao, then let's talk about the serious business. I'll start to tell you about the interests in raw silk!"

Liu Peng not only explained the major event that King Daoyi planned, but also explained the entire details of the raw silk trade very clearly. The profits in this major international trade are amazing, and not only Chinese merchants, Flangji people, Dutch people, and Japanese people are mixed in.

But Liu Peng pointed out incisively: "Why do all maritime merchants like to do raw silk business now? Even if they want to behead their heads, they have to sell raw silk to go to sea? The key is that Japan has to import thousands of dans of raw silk from the Ming Dynasty every year."

Although there were many controversies in military, political and economic aspects of Japan in this time and space, they agreed that their handicraft industry was surprisingly weak, and almost all light industrial products depended on the input of Chinese specialties, especially raw silk, which was completely dependent on the input of Chinese.

Once Chinese raw silk stops importing into Japan, the Japanese Chinese wealthy families will be at a point where they are not covered. However, the long-term trade sanctions of the Ming Dynasty have prevented Japan from getting enough raw silk supply. Therefore, over the years, the price of raw silk in Japan has always been high. A tuft of raw silk is as low as 200 taels, and a high of 5600 taels, or even 6700 taels. Generally, the average price in the past is more than 300 taels.

The price of a tuft of raw silk in China is as low as fifty or sixty taels, and the highest is only one hundred taels. If the official puts aside his face and lets the monopoly silk shop come forward and buy it forcibly, he might receive a tuft of raw silk in 40 or fifty taels.

However, although the benefits in this business are amazing, women always consider the disadvantages when considering things. Therefore, Yao Zhuo couldn't help but ask: "This is a big deal to go to the Japanese to the sea. If the matter is exposed, let alone my husband is just a young prisoner or a eunuch, even a eunuch, even a eunuch, he cannot protect himself."

The ban on the sea was the basic national policy since Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty. It has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for two hundred years. Even those like Xu Guangqi, who are proficient in Western learning, do not think that there are any mistakes in the ban on the sea, but only individual adjustments are needed in detail.

But Liu Peng had a very clear idea, so he quickly took out a very rough map and said, "Sister Yao, I don't have the courage to go into the sea. Look... this is North Korea."

Yao Zhuo had already understood: "Yes, it's a death sentence to go to the sea to the Japanese, but the tribute exchanges between us and North Korea have not been interrupted. Since our country sent troops to aid Korea, North Korea's tribute has been more frequent. You continue to say... and continue to say."

Although women are always very careful, as long as they let women understand the huge and amazing benefits, they will ignore any danger, even if they are beheaded, they will not be afraid at all.

Therefore, Yao Zhuo clearly wanted to reject Liu Peng's proposal, but now Liu Peng is just proposing a way to cover up his ears and steal the bell. Yao Zhuo felt that this business would definitely have a profit of more than 100,000 taels of silver. She just wanted Liu Peng to explain the entire business as soon as possible.

Liu Peng continued: "Sister Yao is right. The tribute between North Korea and this dynasty has not been interrupted. Therefore, if we trade with North Korea, we will only have minor details and great festivals!"

Everyone can understand that the young prison in the prison has engaged in some small business with North Korea. The eunuch temple people also need to support their families. Therefore, Yao Zhuo immediately said: "I know, you have said just now that North Korea often has merchant ships coming to your Longkou to purchase goods."

Liu Peng continued to point to the chart and said, "This is North Korea, this is Jeju Island, formerly called Danro Island, this is Tsushima Island of Japan..."

Yao Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Mr. Liu means we will transport the freight to Jeju Island?"

Liu Peng immediately replied: "Now the court probably doesn't know that the Zong family in Tsushima Island has already negotiated peace with the North Korean state. They can trade with North Korea. Our raw silk is only transported to friendly countries and North Korea. As for where North Korea sells raw silk, we don't know. Of course, we can buy a few boats in North Korea to do sea business with people. We must not know where their raw silk has gone."

After Liu Peng said this, Yao Zhuo naturally understood it. She immediately asked about the interests of this: "If we bought raw silk from Jiangnan and transported it to the right horse, would it be awesome? That is the territory of the Japanese pirates?"

Liu Peng gave an answer that was completely wrong with the horse's lips: "A tuft of raw silk may be sold for less than 300 taels of silver on the right side of the horse, and may cost 300 taels of silver. Fortunately, there is some silver on the right side of the horse, and even if you transport one or two thousand taels of raw silk, you can eat it."

But Yao Zhuo felt that Liu Peng was too ruthless. A bunch of raw silk in Jiangnan was about 100 taels of silver, and transported to the horse was a sky-high price of more than 250 taels of silver. In other words, in terms of profit margin, even if Tian Liyi had already been a provincial tax supervisor and had a publicly destroyed his family everywhere in Shandong, the profit was not as high as that of transporting raw silk to the horse.

More importantly, Liu Peng said, "There is enough money for horses, and even if you transport one or two thousand dans of raw silk, you can eat it." This made Yao Zhuo feel like he was going crazy. Not to mention her, I'm afraid that his husband would follow him when he heard this number.

Everything has a ceiling, and there is a bottleneck that is difficult to break through. That is, the eunuch of the Silijian and the imperial guards of the Ganqing Palace. The Mao brand is the one who accumulates the family business to a certain extent. They are usually trembling, but they only see more and more money but no income increases. However, according to Liu Peng, this pair of horse routes is like picking up money and there is no bottleneck at all: "Is there a boat running this route now?"

Liu Peng gave a clear answer: "No ship, it has only been two or three years since North Korea and Tsubasa discussed peace talks with Ma Fan. No one has ever come back to do this business..."

Liu Peng continued to express further plans: "We can walk more smoothly at the beginning, go to North Korea first, then go to Jeju to do a small business, and finally encounter a strong wind and accidentally float to Tsuma Fan. If we go smoothly, we don't have to go to North Korea more in the future."

When I went to North Korea in the middle, I lost a profit. Yao Zhuo liked Liu Peng's words, but she felt that things were definitely not as simple as Liu Peng said: "Then what is the difficulty of this business? Otherwise, Liu Shao would not have asked my husband to do this business together."

Liu Peng sighed: "There are too many difficulties, otherwise we will take this profit by ourselves. We have some ways in North Korea, but there is no way in Jiangnan. We have to borrow the name of Tian Shaojian."

The commercial controls in the Ming Dynasty were really powerful. If there were no high-ranking officials and nobles to protect them, even if there were huge profits of five or ten times, they would not make a penny after a series of troubles and even lose their capital.

A yarn shop that buys bags and sells bags can take away all the profits. Even if Liu Peng buys raw silk from Jiangnan is something that everyone likes to talk about, the yarn shop will not like someone to dig food in their bowls.

However, after Tian Liyi had the opportunity, Liu Peng could walk across the south of the Yangtze River. Even if Tian Liyi was just a young prisoner who was a magistrate, his name was already very famous. From local prefectures to powerful people, as long as he heard people coming from the inner palace and the personal tax bureau, he would kneel down and look at the wind and lose his life. He did not dare to ask what kind of inner government office Tian Liyi was from and where his actual position was in the inner palace.

Liu Peng's explanation is very reasonable, but Yao Zhuo did not believe Liu Peng's statement: "It's that simple? I heard that the matter of your Huang Magistrate of Dengzhou Prefecture has been decided. Just like what you said just now, he is from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. If you ask Huang Daochen to take action, things will be easy to do."
