Borrow money?
These two people are not short of money.
Unless they need a lot of silver!
"We are all brothers, so what's the point of borrowing money?" Zhu Jun said, "But what do you two need money for?"
"My brother has settled the accounts, I can write an IOU!" Fu Zhong said.
"That's right, you have to pay back what you borrow. It's not difficult to borrow again!" Guo Zhen also nodded. We will pay you back in half a year at most!
"How much do you want?"
"Fifty thousand taels is never too little, and one hundred thousand taels is never too much!" Fu Zhong said.
Good guy, these two people think he runs a bank.
This silver was nothing to him. There were nearly one million taels of silver lying in the palace's coffers. Plus, the Shen family was within the family, so he didn't have to worry about money at all.
He pretended to be surprised and said: "So much, do you owe others money?"
"No, we brothers are doing a small business!" Guo Zhen chuckled, "It just costs more money!"
"What business?" Zhu Jun asked.
"It's just a small business. Talking about such a lowly business will offend Mr. Liu!" Fu Zhong said with a smile.
Mother Ganlin, why do business costs require so much money?
These two people didn't tell him the truth.
"I said you two are not interesting enough. You don't take me with you when doing business. Do you treat me as a brother?" Zhu Jun pretended to be angry and slammed the table, "What do you mean by a humble business? I also open a lottery shop. Am I considered humble?" Yet?"
Neither of them expected that Zhu Jun would get angry when he said he was angry, but Zhu Jun's temper was like this, and the two of them were used to it. Fu Zhong quickly winked at Guo Zhen, and Guo Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Sixth Master, don't be angry. The main thing is that this business... the possibility of losing money is very high!"
"Then I don't care, even if it's a loss, I'll accept it!" Zhu Jun sneered and said, "We share blessings and share hardships, haven't you heard?"
Fu Zhong was also very helpless. Zhu Jun was fine, but his temper was getting worse, and he had no solution.
"Why don't we just tell Master Six? Will Master Six sell us two brothers?" Guo Zhen said.
Fu Zhong smiled bitterly. He was not worried that Zhu Jun would betray them, but he was worried that Zhu Jun would spill the beans.
"I, Zhu Jun, can do anything, but the only thing I won't do is betray my brothers!" Zhu Jun said, "If you can't trust me, leave my house. Even if I throw my money into the water, I will never lend it to you!"
Seeing that Zhu Jun was really angry, Fu Zhong hurriedly said: "Sixth Master, don't be angry, I said, I said it's not enough!
Aren’t our two brothers always in Beiping Prefecture? Beiping Prefecture is also close to Yongping Prefecture, which is a famous seaport and wharf, so we two brothers plan to do maritime trade business..."
Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment, "You are so brave. Didn't the imperial court prohibit private sea trade?"
Since the third year of Shenwu, Lao Zhu has ordered a ban on private sea trade, fishing, and private sales of vegetables to overseas countries.
the reason is simple.
First of all, when Zhang Zhou's head of state occupied the land of Wu, he was driven away by Lao Zhu and retreated to the inland, but a considerable part of the armed forces were left scattered in the coastal areas.
These armed forces disguised themselves as "Japanese bandits" and invaded coastal areas.
Of course, some are real Japanese pirates.
To the north is Gaoli, and Gaoli is a vassal state of the Meng Yuan. Although the remnants of the Meng Yuan have declined, their queen is still a Gaoli.
Although they secretly sent people to pay tribute, they were just waiting and watching.
To the south, those Nanyang countries also became tributary countries because they bordered Chen and Han.
So the environment in Daye is not good, at least in Zhu Jun's eyes.
"Sixth Master, lower your voice!" Guo Zhen said hurriedly: "Of course we will not go to sea in a private capacity!"
"Then how do you go to sea?" Zhu Jun said.
"Inspect the sea area, eliminate Japanese dogs, and scare Gao Li..." Fu Zhong said.
Depend on!
These people, relying on the sky to be high and the emperor to be far away, shouting loud and loud banners to make money crazily.
And Zhu Di must have made a fortune in Beiping Mansion.
The capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty was crowded and prosperous, and it was a must-stop place for merchants from the north. In addition, it was close to the sea, so it was difficult not to prosper!
"You want money to build a ship?"
"Sixth Master is wise!" Fu Zhong flattered, "You also know that our captain Daye and the navy are guarding Chen Han and Zhang Zhou inland. It will definitely be too late to build a temporary one, so we can only spend a lot of money. Buy!"
There are many small ships in Daye, but few large ships, and they are generally controlled by officials.
And there are even fewer ships that can ride the wind and waves on the sea.
He had long wanted to get involved in sea trade, otherwise he wouldn't have shouted to go to Weihaiwei to join the feudal lord.
Isn't it just because of the geographical location of that place?
But now that he is going to Fengyang, it is not easy for anyone to interfere. The Shen family must have connections at that time.
However, he didn't feel comfortable leaving all these to the Shen family. Some things were better kept in his own hands.
"Are you two a partner?" Zhu Jun looked at the two of them.
"How dare more people know about this!" Fu Zhong said with a bitter smile: "If it weren't for Mr. Liu, we would definitely not tell it."
Zhu Jun nodded. This was true. If people knew about it, they would both die without losing their skin.
Lao Zhu will not be lenient.
"Okay, I'll invest in it!" Zhu Jun said, "I'll admit it even if I lose money!"
"Master Liu, do you really want to do sea trade business? If someone finds out, you will be in bad luck!" Guo Zhen said.
"I'm not interested in doing business!" Zhu Jun said: "Just because you two are doing it, I want to help you share the risk equally. If someone discovers it then, with me standing in front of you, you will be less guilty!
At worst, you will confess to me when the time comes and say that I forced you to do it! "
"Sixth Master!" Fu Zhong was really moved by Zhu Jun's words. He held Zhu Jun's hand, his eyes were red. Unexpectedly, they hadn't seen each other for more than two years. My trust and friendship have not changed at all, "It is my blessing to have you as my brother!"
Guo Zhen was also deeply moved, "Sixth Master, don't worry, even if we are discovered, we two brothers will take all the blame. If you are responsible for the big crime, are we still human beings?"
"What you are saying means you don't regard me, Zhu Jun, as a brother!" Zhu Jun pretended to be angry and said, "Women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and feet. I, Zhu Jun, regard money as dirt. The only thing I care about is my brothers!"
"What a saying: Women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers!" Fu Zhong was also completely shocked by Zhu Jun's words, "Sixth Master, don't say anything else, we three brothers will share this business equally!"
"Yes, evenly split!" Guo Zhen also nodded.
Zhu Jun then smiled with satisfaction and said: "This is so cool. Tell me, how many boats do you plan to buy?"
"We need a big ship, but small boats are useless. We need at least a thousand materials for a big ship. Each material costs two taels of silver (the information can be checked), but if it is transferred to us, it will only cost three to four taels of silver."
In other words, a large ship with a thousand materials costs three to four thousand taels of silver! "
Zhu Jun nodded. This was not a ship for the imperial court. If it was a private sale, people would definitely have to make money.
In this way, one hundred thousand taels of silver can only buy more than twenty large ships with thousands of materials!
