Zhu Shou nodded with a smile and said, "The emperor didn't say it clearly, but judging from the current situation, it is exactly what Brother Han guessed."
After hearing this, Lan Yu and others not only looked at each other, but then all looked at Han Du.
Han Du laughed dryly and asked doubtfully: "Look what I'm doing? This matter has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he couldn't help but glared at Zhu Shou complainingly, saying that his title of marquis and governor-general had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, why do you have to pull yourself up everywhere?
"Then what?" Wang Bi asked thoughtfully, "Did the emperor tell you what you, the governor, need to do?"
"Of course." Zhu Shou nodded, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor wants us to gather wealth for the country. Of course we are not afraid of a war, but when it comes to gathering wealth, we have a dark eye. "
Lan Yu waved her hands and said generously: "What's so difficult about this?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Lan Yu, wondering when Lan Yu became a master in running a business.
When Lan Yu saw everyone looking at him, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Han Xian is a good hand at amassing wealth. You might as well let him give you some advice."
Han Du glanced at Lan Yu speechlessly, feeling that he had tried to be a good person, but in the end he wanted to blame the incident on himself. If it were anyone else, Han Du would definitely not agree, but since it was Lan Yu, Han Du didn't bother to argue with him.
Zhu Shou also thought so, and when he saw this opportunity, he said: "I have heard about Brother Han's reputation as a good boy for a long time, and we are about to ask him for advice."
"I don't dare to ask for advice." Han Du smiled and asked, "I wonder if the Marquis has any ideas in mind?"
After Zhu Shou heard this, he didn't hide it from Han Du. He thought about it in his heart after receiving the order. Then he said: "We think this business is nothing more than trading. Either take the things from Ming Dynasty to Luzon and sell them, or sell the things from Luzon to Ming Dynasty. Do you think there is any problem with this?"
Han Du nodded and said: "It's quite satisfactory. Generally speaking, there is no problem. But there are not many people in Luzon. I'm afraid I won't make much money by selling things in Ming Dynasty. But the various things in Luzon are pretty good and you can make a lot of money by selling them in Ming Dynasty." One deal. But these businesses are very tight, so I’m afraid I won’t make much money.”
"One year can
Earn one million taels of silver? "Zhu Shou clasped his hands and looked at Han Du nervously.
One million taels?
Han Du was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Zhu Shou mentioned one million taels, but he nodded subconsciously. Said: "If you work hard all year round, you can barely do it."
It would be great if you can do it!
Zhu Shou immediately felt relieved and laughed loudly and said: "It would be great if we can do it. Oh, you don't know. In the past few days, we have been worried about this one million taels and can't sleep well. It's okay now, with Brother Han's words, we can feel relieved."
Seeing Zhu Shou's relieved look, Han Du couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that the task given to you by the emperor is one million taels per year?"
Zhu Shou did not hide anything from Han Du, and nodded directly to confirm: "It is indeed true."
Han Du glanced at Zhu Shou with some contempt and asked tentatively: "The method I just mentioned requires a whole year of hard work to make a million."
"We're not afraid of hard work, haha. It'll be great if we can complete what the emperor told us. We're just afraid that we can't find the clue and delay the matter." Zhu Shou was in a good mood, looking indifferent.
Cao Zhen on the side saw this and sighed: "Don't be impatient. That's not what Han Du meant." He turned to Han Du and asked, "Listen to what you mean, there is an easier way to earn one million." Two ways?"
Han Du smiled helplessly and nodded, saying: "Of course. The fastest way to make money in the world is not doing business, but doing business without capital."
"What kind of business are you talking about without capital?" Cao Zhen couldn't help but frown.
There are two kinds of business without capital, one is to rob families, homes and roads, and the other is to be done by women, and Zhu Shou is obviously not good at it.
"What else could it be? Of course it's a robbery." Han Du said it with a smile, without any psychological burden.
"Go and grab it?" Zhu Shou looked a little embarrassed.
It's not that he doesn't have the courage. Whether he is following Lao Zhu to conquer the world or going on the Northern Expedition to the Remaining Yuan Dynasty, how can he do less robbery? However, he also has his concerns.
"After all, Luzon is regarded by the emperor as an overseas land of the Ming Dynasty. If it is a blatant robbery, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the emperor."
Han Du leaned over and looked at Zhu Shou intently.
, said softly: "Who asked you to rob Luzon? This Luzon is just one of the local islands. There are many islands there? If you don't rob Luzon, can't you rob other islands? Didn't the emperor give it to you? Do you have the soldiers and the ship? It will come in handy then."
"We thought you looted Luzon to get so much gold and silver. Originally, you just looted an island there?" Lan Yu couldn't help but interjected and asked, "How big are the other islands? What's up there? Is there anyone who is as rich as Luzon?"
Han Du straightened up, leaned back comfortably, and said with a smile: "There are no less than ten islands about the same size as Luzon. As for whether they are rich or not, we have never been there, but I think they should be about the same. Going to Luzon To the south, we reach Java. Everyone should have heard of Java. It is a country. Since it can become a country, I think there will be no shortage of good things in the national treasury."
"Okay!" Zhu Shou clasped his hands violently, making a loud noise, and said excitedly: "When we arrive in Luzon, we will go straight to Java, kill him and bleed him to death, and take back all the gold, silver and jewelry. "
"The Sword Comes"
With a ferocious smile on his face, Zhu Shou couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it hard, as if Java was already in his pocket.
Wang Bi was much calmer and couldn't help but remind him: "You must not underestimate the enemy. Since Java can become a country and exist for so long, there must be a reason. You only have two thousand people, and there is no way. In addition, once there is a slight mistake, it will be irreversible."
Han Du also nodded and said: "Java must have a certain strength, but it will not be too strong. If you can ask the emperor for permission to bring two thousand revolvers, then you can be sure that nothing will go wrong. But the ants will kill the elephant. You have to be on guard. You can start from the periphery of Java, take advantage and leave, and slowly strengthen yourself."
Zhu Shou was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but nod in agreement, "This is a good idea." He has a lucky boat in his hand. He can fight if he wants and stay if he wants. He is invincible by nature.
This style of play is very similar to the Japanese pirates invading the Ming Dynasty. In the past, even a country as powerful as Ming Dynasty had a headache from this. After all, the coastline is too long, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to guard against Japanese pirate attacks everywhere. Japanese pirates would always find loopholes in Ming Dynasty's defense and rush in to take a bite.
