The prince had all arrived, and the ministers naturally followed quickly.
Gu Chen casually glanced at the ship's trade name information and confirmed that it was not his uncle's ship, so he followed it casually.
How could there be such a coincidence with so many merchant ships?
The ship was loaded with more than 180,000 pieces of porcelain, jade, and silk. It was definitely worth a lot of money, and it looked even more spectacular.
"You have to return to Hong Kong in two years. With so many goods, can you sell them all?"
Zhu Biao felt that these businessmen were also greedy and didn't know how to take it easy when they went out for the first time. What if the trip was in vain?
The transit tax has been paid, but if they cannot sell it, the court will not refund it to them.
"Yes, yes." Chen Tiju, chief of the Municipal Shipping Department, immediately explained: "His Royal Highness, you don't know, but the foreigners have long been looking forward to my opening the sea."
"When these caravans go out, I'm afraid it won't be long before they come back with a lot of money. Maybe they won't be able to sell enough."
No matter when good things are sold, they will never be in short supply.
"That's good, that's good."
Zhu Biao looked at the merchant ships with satisfaction and then gave instructions.
"Three days will be an auspicious day. Pray for blessings on that day and send the caravans to the ocean."
"Mr. Qing, although most of the Japanese pirates have been cleared from the sea, it is inevitable that some fish will be caught."
"You have to be more careful and protect the merchant's property and life."
"We also need to make it clear to the merchants that although the imperial court has opened the sea now."
"But Japan is not a subject, so we are not allowed to do business with Japan."
"Otherwise, once discovered, we will be punished for the crime of treason with Japanese invaders. Do you understand?"
Lao Zhu was afraid that firearms and other items would accidentally be introduced into Japan, which would cause difficulties for Ming soldiers to attack Japan.
There is also the fear of falling into the hands of Japanese pirates, which will increase difficulties for Lao Liao in suppressing Japanese and Ming Dynasty trade.
What Gu Chen was certain of was that these ships were built by shipyards based on the drawings left by the Song Dynasty.
Because in later classes, he saw the courseware of Song Dynasty merchant ship drawings, which were almost exactly the same as the merchant ships in front of him.
Looking at Biao'er's appearance, I'm afraid he will have to walk for a while before he can go down and rest.
So, Gu Chen called Anzi and told him: "You go back to the inn to stay, and then go and see which inn my uncle is staying at. I'll go have a drink with him in the evening."
Regarding my in-laws' family, it's also wonderful to talk about. First of all, my father-in-law has a good temper and is good to his mother-in-law, but it didn't stop him from marrying his little wife.
His father-in-law married a total of six wives. Each of them had a romantic relationship first, and then they took her to his home after the relationship was established.
The old father-in-law and these little wives were together, and there were many boys and girls.
It is said that the last Sixth Yiniang was married when Su Wanying was fourteen years old.
That year, the old man was already fifty-six and seventeen, and the sixth aunt was only seventeen years old. It was said that she sold her body to bury her father and was helped by the old man.
Then, when the girl was moved, the mountains were without edges and the heaven and earth merged.
He and his mother-in-law only had two brothers and sisters, Su Bozhou and Su Wanying.
Su Bozhou has perfectly inherited his father's romantic style. As he is engaged in business abroad, he often hangs out at fireworks venues and has a lot of confidantes.
It's just that he never talks about love. After the affair is over, he pats his butt and leaves, and the partner is always a hookup girl. At most, he pays a settling-in fee in the end.
The euphemistic name is: Save the prostitute from the sea of misery! ! !
No, when Gu Chen came, there were several beauties in thin clothes beside him, all of them so white that it hurt the eyes.
"Brother, you knew I was coming, but you didn't know how to restrain yourself. At least you let the beautiful woman wear more clothes. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Wanying when I go back?"
Su Wanying didn't like her brother's romantic attitude and would preach to him every time they met.
So every time Su Bozhou went to the Gu family, he honestly never dared to bring the pretty girl with him.
"What are you afraid of my sister doing?"
Su Bozhou had obviously drank too much wine, and he stood up with flushed cheeks. He put his hand on Gu Chen's shoulders and said, "These beauties were bought by me at a high price."
"Not a prostitute, but as long as you don't take her as a concubine, the officials in the court can't say anything to you. Come on, come on, you pick the one you like, and I will accompany you to relieve your boredom tonight."
It's been a long time since we went out this time, so how could we do it without taking a few beauties with us for fun?
"No need."
Gu Chen waved his hand away, but Su Bozhou approached him again like a candy.
"Tell me, are you afraid of my sister?"
"Don't be afraid of her, she... doesn't know." Su Bozhou pushed Gu Chen to sit down and burped: "Brother, just don't tell her, hiccup~"
This is not a big deal, as long as he is nice to his sister and has fun outside, he is not an unreasonable person.
"I'm not afraid!" Of course Gu Chen was not afraid. He rubbed his arms and said, "Let them get down quickly, or I will leave immediately."
The main reason is that he doesn’t want to be blamed. What will he do if people join him and gather for fun?
Well, that's true.
"You're so boring!"
Although he said that, Su Bozhou still waved his hand to let the beauty go down first.
"You officials are really boring. You don't dare to do this or that. Even if you have great power, what's the use if you can't enjoy it?"
His father wanted him to become an official back then, but luckily he didn't want to pursue an official career.
Now it seems that if I go there, I will probably have only two endings.
If he is good, he will be dismissed from office and goes home; if he is bad, his head will be moved.
In short, it is impossible for him to be an honest official, and he will be a corrupt official if he does.
"Yes, yes, no one can have an easier life than our uncle."
Gu Chen glanced at him helplessly, turned around and took out a peace charm from the box in Gu An's hand, and handed it to Su Bozhou's hand.
"Wanying asked me to give this to you. She deliberately walked up the mountain without taking a car. She said it would be more effective this way."
"It's not like you don't know the stairs of Tianjie Temple. As a grown man, I can't even breathe hard when I walk up there, let alone your sister?"
The blood relationship between brothers and sisters is something that no one can compare to.
"Good sister."
Su Bozhou carefully stuffed the amulet into the purse his wife made for him.
"It's true that her brother and I have always loved her so much."
Gu Chen: "...it hurts so much that it makes his husband-in-law happy?"
It was really unusual pain, and most people couldn't understand this kind of pain.
"This code is the same code." Hearing this, Su Bozhou immediately retorted: "I love my sister, so I also love my brother-in-law. If you love your brother-in-law, you love your sister, right?"
What's more, he knew his brother-in-law's character. He had been cautious and cautious all his life, so how could he accept it?
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Chen poured himself a drink and asked with a smile: "My uncle will definitely go to Siam during this trip, right?"
Siam is relatively close to the Ming Dynasty, and the exchanges between the two countries are relatively close and frequent. Countries with good relations between the two countries will have better public security.
Therefore, Siam has always been a place where businessmen can do business with confidence.
Su Bozhou nodded as he should: "Of course I want to go."
This time, he mainly went to explore the roads in various countries first, and then analyzed what business was easy to do. Naturally, he could go to as many countries as he wanted.
