The 244th chapter came from the palace

"What are you here to join in the fun of the Dai Prince's Mansion? Don't you know how passionate we are fighting with Xu Tong?" Liu Tianyu frowned.

"Since you're here, let's meet!" Yang Shuting said, "It might be related to Xu Tong's affairs."

"It must be related." Liu Tianyu sneered at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Yang Shuting and asked, "What's the news recently?"

The General's Mansion had already greeted Yang Shuting, the smuggling route had been opened, and goods were sent out of the customs.

Without the Horse Market, everything is short of on the grassland, and Guangji's goods have been raised.

Whether it is grain, cloth, medicinal materials, or department stores, the net profit is more than twice.

The price of grain purchase is four cents, and the price of food is six cents when sent to the grassland. It is sold to the Mongolians for one or two cents.

The purpose of making a double or even several times will not change unless the Ming Dynasty is willing to reopen the horse market.

The goods sent to the grassland also included gold and silver utensils, high-quality silk and Japanese goods, as well as Thai goods. These goods were mainly sold to the Khan, Jinan and Taiji people, with higher net profits, almost three or four times.

Yang Shuting said: "There is no big problem. Datong and Taiyuan both have great opinions on Xu Tongxiang and are happy to see what the censors do, and even secretly help us encourage us."

Liu Tianyu smiled and said, "I know that it's not easy for me this time. I will keep this account in mind and will always repay you in the future."

"We don't need to talk about this." Yang Shuting said, "There are also my stocks here. Guangji makes more money, so I will make more money as well. If Guangji collapses, it will not be beneficial to me."

Then, Yang Shuting said: "Didn't you always want to do maritime trade? This time I met a man named Yang Weibin in the capital. This man is a broker and often goes to the mansions of noble people. He has a wide range of people. He knows a Qianhu who runs a private boat in Tianjin Port. If you really want to do maritime trade, you can contact the Qianhu through this person."

Liu Tianyu looked happy and asked quickly: "Is that person trustworthy?"

"It's credible. Brokers like them will never ruin their reputation because of one or two orders." Yang Shuting said, "Would you like to contact me and see if you can get a ship to sea?"

"That's hard work, man." Liu Tianyu said with a smile, "Lingqiu is the most in short supply of iron. You can get some farm tools and iron pots, and take some groceries and fill them with a ship to Japan to take a look. It would be best if you can open up a relationship with Japan in the future. I heard that in Japan, a sea merchant named Li Dan has the greatest power, so we can establish a relationship with him first."

After hearing Liu Tianyu say so much, Yang Shuting kept rolling his eyes.

Finally, Yang Shuting couldn't help but interrupt, "Tianyu, you're thinking too far! We even contacted Yang Weibin. You are already thinking about establishing a good relationship with Japanese maritime merchants."

After pausing, he continued, "I have heard from someone mention Li Dan you mentioned. I heard that it is a famous maritime merchant with tens of thousands of people under his command and a lot of ships."

The maritime merchants of this era were basically a combination of maritime merchants and pirates. White Europeans who claimed to be civilized were bringing back their plundered wealth from America to Europe one by one.

At this time, there was no Zheng family, and Zheng Zhilong was just an adopted son of Li Dan. On several routes in Japan and Luzon, only the Dutch could compete with Li Dan.

Liu Tianyu knew very well that naval battles were very different from 6th Wars. In a few months, he could train a highly disciplined army, but if he wanted to make a difference at sea, he would not be able to train an army that was fighting at sea in just a few years.

Moreover, there is another premise that this is a ship. Ordinary small boats are definitely not good. Although the lucky boats are barely OK, they are not the target in Liu Tianyu's mind.

What he wanted was the Garen ship from the Netherlands that could be equipped with many cannons, and the one in the UK that was fast and flexible, suitable for use as a pirate ship.

As long as there are enough of these two types of ships, Liu Tianyu is confident that Guangji will dominate the Asian waters and can even go to America to compete with white people for America's wealth.

But these are things that will happen in the future.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Liu Tianyu said: "We start from scratch. You have to work hard to go back to the capital to contact Yang Weibin. Through his relationship, we will get a boat to go to sea. It is best to find an acquaintance to take it a few times at the beginning, so that we can avoid many dangers and troubles."

"Since Tianyu, you said that, I have to go back to the capital." Yang Shuting joked, "I'm just tired, my legs are almost running thin."

At this time, footsteps came from outside, and Liu Tianyu and Yang Shuting stopped the topic at the same time.

Not long after, Zhang Mingchen walked in with a middle-aged man.

Maybe Liu Tianyu did not go out to greet him in person. The middle-aged man was not very happy, and it was obvious that he was angry on his face.

"I'm going to take the stones to the point of eternity." The middle-aged man bowed, "I've seen inspector Liu."

"Mr. Shi, please sit down."

Liu Tianyu did not get up, nor was he interested in pleaseing a Qingke husband in the prince's mansion, but just pointed at a chair next to him casually.

Shi Changqing was dissatisfied with Liu Tianyu not going to greet him, and now he was treated casually again, making him feel even more uncomfortable.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction, but he did not sit down and said straight to the point: "Your Highness sent me to inform Inspection Liu of two things. If Inspection Liu could do what His Highness wanted, His Highness would have to report it."

Hearing Shi Changqing's words, Yang Shuting immediately frowned.

Liu Tianyu, who was standing beside him, took the conversation and said, "I am a foreign official. He has no friends with His Highness Dai King. I don't know what his Highness has to give, so why should he repay him?"

Shi Changqing stood and said condescendingly: "His Highness Dai King knows about the matter between Governor Xu and Inspection Commissioner Liu. His Highness said that if Inspection Commissioner Liu can handle two things, he is willing to be a peace deal between Governor and Inspection Commissioner Zhang. I think the Governor will not give him face."

Liu Tianyu and Yang Shuting looked at each other and felt very surprised for a moment.

The Prince of Ming Dynasty cannot ask about foreign affairs. Except for the past two days of Su Wangri, unless there is an important and urgent matter, officials cannot meet the prince without any trouble, let alone a governor like Xu Tong who holds great power.

Yang Shuting secretly gave Liu Tianyu a wink, and then he smiled and said, "I wonder what two things your highness wants us to do?"

"The first thing is that in Guangji store, His Highness wants to occupy 30% of the shares, and he is giving Governor Xu 20%. His Highness will not interfere with Inspection Liu's operations, just wait for dividends."

After saying that, Shi Changqing looked as if he was taken for granted.
