Xu Wenzhou also knew that there would be a battle between Yanyun County and Dazhou in the future, and all trade with Dazhou might be interrupted by then.
This requires transporting goods through smuggling channels. Not only land transportation, but also port problems must be solved.
By then the big ports will no longer be able to operate, and transportation can only be done through some small ports and wharves. Although it is not yet in use, preparations must be made in advance.
In addition, you can also consider transporting only raw materials and not finished products, which is relatively secretive.
For example, the special clay used in Jiangnan porcelain, silk cocoons... are directly transported to Yanyun County and then fired and woven.
Now it is different from before. Before, it was only a unilateral purchase by Yanyun County. Now Yanyun County still has a lot of goods that need to be transported to Dazhou for sale.
For example, sugar, candies, canned goods, biscuits and other specialties of Yanyun County are still in great need of the big market of Dazhou.
Before Shunfeng Port was taken back, Yanyun County still needed a lot of salt, but now Xiao Chen and the others can dry and refine sea salt, and the quality of the refined sea salt is very good and the price is extremely low.
Shi Mingtao is selling it now. According to him, it is very popular in the mainland, and its popularity is similar to that of sugar...but the risk is high, and of course the profit is also big.
"Wenzhou, we brothers have been together for so long, and I know your character very well. Today, I have something I want to tell you, and I also want to ask you for an idea. You have to answer me honestly. ." Shi Mingtao's serious look meant that something big was going on.
"Brother Shi, just say what you want. You are such a straightforward man, why are you hesitating like a woman?" Xu Wenzhou said with a smile.
"I heard that the Xiaoji ticket number in Yanyun County was your idea in Wenzhou? You can be considered the founder..." Shi Mingtao said.
"What the hell, Brother Shi, do you want to save money? That's no problem. I'll tell Sister Xiangqin that I guarantee to give you the highest profit!" Xu Wenzhou said.
"I don't care if it's profitable but not profitable, but how do you know Xiao Ji's ticket number?" This is what Shi Mingtao asked.
"As long as Yanyun County is here and our boss is here, Xiao Ji's bank account will never fail!" Xu Wenzhou said, "So Brother Shi, you can just save as much money as you have, but if you follow my brother's wishes, you can save money It is better to invest in some industries and buy some real estate in Yanyun... Of course, this also has risks, and it is not as stable as a bank account."
"Brother Shi, I understand what you mean. I'm just afraid that there will be some small mistake in Dazhou, so that both people and money will be lost, right? Even if you don't say anything about this, brother Shi, I will still be thinking about you. I know you still don’t believe in my Yanyun ticket number, and you are also afraid that something will happen to Yanyun County in the future, so it doesn’t matter, there are other ways.”
Xu Wenzhou suggested that Shi Mingtao diversify his investments, so that the risk of property losses can be reduced to the greatest extent, but the relative returns will also be lower.
To be honest with you, Brother Shi, your brother and I have friends in Northern Xinjiang, Rus, Kojuli, Burma, Siam, Java, Tianzhu, Japan, Paradise Island, even Yizhou, and several Western countries.
So Brother Shi, no matter where you want to transfer your property, I can help.
Brother Shi, to put it nicely, it’s called taking precautions, to put it worse, it’s called a cunning rabbit’s three burrows... But no matter what, these are my words from my heart, and I will definitely help you to the end, for no other reason than for Shi. Brother, you believe in me so much!
"Why do you still have friends in Yizhou?" Shi Mingtao really didn't know.
"Haha, where do you think all the sugar cane in Yanyun County comes from? But I am only telling you, Brother Shi, this. You must not tell others. It is a sin of decapitation!" Xu Wenzhou means that we brothers have this fateful friendship!
"Actually, the property is all external possessions. I am mainly worried about my family. Your brother also knows that the Queen Mother is seriously ill. If something happens to her, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, let alone my family, so I have to do something in advance. Be prepared to leave a way for your wife and children to escape, or send them all away directly." Shi Mingtao said.
"Brother Shi, you should be fine." Xu Wenzhou said, "This is not just my words, the younger brother said the same thing, the boss said the same thing."
"That's what I say, but the power of God is unpredictable." Shi Mingtao knew that he would definitely not be able to leave, but he still wanted to send his wife and children out, leaving his own life to gamble with the emperor and his elders. , it’s good to win, but you won’t lose all your money if you lose.
After all, I am still afraid of being confiscated by Li Wanjiang!
Xu Wenzhou said that he can arrange this. If Brother Shi is determined, I can safely escort all the ladies, including the madam, the young master and the ladies to Yanyun County or wherever you want to go.
When Xiao Chen came back and heard that Shi Mingtao was moving his family, he didn't take it seriously. I told you Mingtao that it was fine. Are you so scared?
But if you are really worried, let Wenzhou make arrangements for you. However, Madam-in-law and the others are gone, so don't act recklessly. If you get a bunch of vixens, I won't be able to explain to Madam-in-law.
"Boss Xiao, you still have the heart to joke!" Shi Mingtao said, "I am a frightened bird now, and I can't stand a little bit of fright. I originally felt relieved after hearing your boss's words that day, but there are always some people these days. You come to me and ask questions, which makes me feel confused."
"You Mingtao, don't associate with them. If they come to find you, won't you just pretend to be ill and ignore them? Remember, from now on, you will not see anyone who is an official or a member of the family. You will act like you are shutting yourself up and thinking about your past...or just go and find you." Burn incense and chant sutras in a temple to pray for the Queen Mother!" Xiao Chen pointed out to him.
"Okay, I listen to your boss... Has King Zhongcheng revealed anything?" Shi Mingtao asked cautiously.
"The revelation has nothing to do with you Ming Tao. I said you take yourself too seriously, right? You're just a smuggler. Who do you think you are?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "But you have been doing it these days. Keep a low profile. Liu Wenzheng, the head of the Household Department, may want to join you. He is just the beginning, and there will be more to come..."
"Ah?" Shi Mingtao was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale.
"That is to say, you don't have much status in the court, otherwise I will have to take part in your work... Don't panic, what is supposed to come will always come. The sooner it comes, the better, and the more important it is, the better. Let's look back this way Only when the emperor pardons you can he show his care for the old man and his benevolence and filial piety." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Boss, I have no identity, but you don't know your identity? If you were to join me, would I still be alive? It's enough if you guarantee me one!" Shi Mingtao shouted.
"You are not qualified." Xiao Chen said, "If I want to protect you, I have to protect you at the level of Minister of the Imperial Guard... Okay, don't drink anymore, go back to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. I guess Jinyiwei will have to take you to jail in a while. ”
