"How come there are so many?"
Zhu Di looked surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Guo An explained: "Your Highness, when these goods were sold to me by those Goryeo dignitaries to Prince Yan's Mansion, the price was 50% lower.
When our Prince Yan's Mansion transports these goods to Beiping Mansion and sells them to merchants, the price can be set by our own Prince Yan's Mansion, but the minimum price will be twice as high!
In this way, the goods from Ming Dynasty can be sold at high prices when they are shipped to Korea..."
"..."
Zhu Di's eyes gradually widened and his body trembled slightly.
After a while.
Zhu Di's expression returned to normal. Didn't he just earn four to five million taels of silver in a month, and more than four million taels of silver in a year?
"Guo Qing, I don't know much about business and trade. It's up to you to make the decision!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
Guo An thanked Zhu Di with a happy face, and said: "Your Highness, I am still the same as before. I beg your Highness to give 20% of the money earned from trade to reward these soldiers, generals and officials in Goryeo! "
"Twenty percent?"
Zhu Di was stunned, "We need eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver in a month?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, even so, by distributing these soldiers and officials, each person can only get seven or eight taels of silver at most!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but frown, "In this case, according to Guo Qing's words, 30% of the business income will be used to reward these soldiers, generals and officials in Goryeo.
In addition, I will also remember Guo Qing’s 10%. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An expressed his thanks again.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
On the side, Shang Kezhou also expressed his gratitude with excitement.
Although these officials and soldiers add up to only 30%.
However, each of them can get at least twenty more taels of silver a month.
Coupled with their own salaries, they can earn at least more than three hundred taels of silver a year.
Enough for their family to live a prosperous life.
"Wei Chen still has something to report to His Highness and Guo Changshi..."
Shang Kezhou comforted the Goryeo dignitaries, and then told Zhu Di and Guo An about the fact that Goryeo borrowed his copy of "Da Gao".
Both of them also had strange expressions on their faces.
However, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Soon, the news about giving out 30% of the reward as a reward spread to all the soldiers, generals and officials.
Of course, these are limited to those soldiers, generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty.
The next few days.
Zhu Di informed Bian Anlie, Cao Minxiu and other Goryeo ministers and dignitaries that he wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty.
The God of Death was about to leave. Although these Goryeo ministers and dignitaries were reluctant to leave on the surface, they were all ecstatic in their hearts and wished Zhu Di could go back immediately.
Later, Zhu Di informed that he would take Goryeo King Wang You and Prince Wang Chang back to apologize to the Ming Emperor.
It seems that as early as the Yuan Dynasty, dignitaries like Goryeo had already been used to the matter of the King of Goryeo and the Crown Prince going to the suzerain country to plead guilty.
Therefore, not only did the Goryeo dignitaries not have any objection, they even presented some gold and silver objects as tribute gifts to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Di could only accept it silently.
A few days later.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Zhu Di took Chen Zhi and five thousand soldiers, as well as Goryeo King Wang You and his son Wang Chang, to the Ming Dynasty.
Guo An was left with ten thousand troops to garrison Wang Jing.
Not two days after Zhu Di and others left, it started to rain heavily again in Korea.
In this season, Korea likes rain, especially heavy rain.
Looking at the pounding rain outside, Guo An felt lazy. This kind of weather was suitable for lying down.
I hope the Korean people will also stay at home honestly.
…
June!
The weather is scorching hot!
Dagukou in the Ming Dynasty.
A huge fleet, flying the flag of King Yan, entered from Dagokou and headed directly to Beiping Mansion.
"It's King Yan's fleet!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan is back?"
"But, why are there more than ten large ships missing? There are also many fewer soldiers on board?"
“Could it be that His Highness King Yan’s attack on Goryeo failed?”
"Report this to Your Majesty quickly!"
"Quickly, report this matter to the head of the family quickly..."
Some of the imperial guards, garrison officers, and some shopkeepers who had been guarding the entrance of Dagu all changed their expressions, and they quickly sent someone to deliver the message.
Two days later.
Tongzhou, Beiping Prefecture, Zhangjiawan Wharf.
A huge fleet of ships sailed up the Grand Canal.
A group of ships docked at the dock quickly moved out of the way.
After seeing the flag on the big ship clearly, the entire dock, including the patrolling soldiers and the merchants, suddenly became excited.
Jin Zhongzheng followed Zhangjiawan Wharf manager Fu Yiquan, security guard Shi Xing and others to check the wharf accounts.
This year, more and more cargo ships are docking at the dock every day, and more and more merchants come to Beiping Prefecture to do business.
Jin Zhong, Fu Yiquan, Shi Xing and others were more and more impressed by the dock built by Guo An.
In just one month, this dock earned Prince Yan's Mansion another 120,000 taels of silver.
If this trend continues, they will definitely be able to receive a few more taels of silver during the New Year.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside.
Jin Zhong, Fu Yiquan, Shi Xing and others all couldn't help but change their expressions.
Could it be that something big happened?
Thinking about it, a few people were ready to go out and take a look.
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open, and a soldier ran in with excitement on his face.
"His Royal Highness is back, the fleet is back..."
"What?"
"Lao Liu, you read that right, His Highness is really back?"
Jin Zhong, Shi Xing and others were all excited.
"I can see clearly that this is really His Highness's fleet..."
The soldier named Lao Liu said hurriedly.
However, before he could finish speaking, he discovered that Jin Zhong, Shi Xing and others had already run out.
"Is it really His Highness's fleet?"
Seeing the flags and soldiers on the fleet, Jin Zhong, Shi Xing and others were filled with joy and went straight to greet them.
However, the group searched for a long time, but not only did they not see Yan King Zhu Di, but they also did not find Guo An, Chen Shou, Chen Zhi and other commanders.
Suddenly, Jin Zhong saw three familiar figures and walked over quickly.
"Chang Guoting, why are only the three of you back? The rest of you? Also, where are His Highness King Yan, Guo Changshi and the others?"
"I've seen the Golden Scribe! I've seen the Fu Manager and Shi Baihu!"
Several people who often passed by the court hurriedly greeted him.
"His Royal Highness King Yan went to the capital to meet with His Majesty. As for Guo Changshi and others, they are guarding the capital of Goryeo!"
"Wang Jing of Goryeo?"
Jin Zhong and Shi Xing were all shocked again.
"The King of Goryeo wanted to rebel because of the Iron Ridge Guard incident... After His Highness landed ashore, he captured the King of Goryeo in just one day..."
Chang Guoting explained the matter simply.
Jin Zhong, Shi Xing and others were stunned when they heard, "Your Highness is indeed brave and invincible! The Goryeo barbarians deserve to be killed..."
Later, after regaining consciousness, Jin Zhong looked at the large ship that was docking slowly and orderly.
"Then these ships are filled with goods and money?"
"Exactly!"
Chang Guoting nodded slightly, "There are ten large ships on this trip carrying His Highness's property.
As for the remaining twenty-five large ships, they are goods traded between the Goryeo dignitaries and our Prince Yan's Mansion! "
My Prince Yan’s Mansion?
Jin Zhong glanced at Chang Guoting in surprise and did not ask in detail.
However, Jin Zhong had to ask clearly about trade matters.
"I, Prince Yan, are doing business with Goryeo dignitaries? Does your Majesty agree to this matter?"
Chang Guoting said: "Jin scribe, don't be anxious. Nowadays, Goryeo is the territory of our Prince Yan's Palace, and it does not count as the Yan Palace's trade with foreign vassals."
"That's good!"
Jin Zhong nodded slightly and asked again: "Then how did Prince Yan's Mansion do business with the powerful people of Goryeo?"
"Here!"
Chang Guoting motioned to Jin Zhong about the large ships and said: "What kind of goods do the nobles of Goryeo want to sell to my Ming Dynasty? Give them to my Prince Yan's fleet and sign a contract.
However, because they need Prince Yan's Mansion to help them sell it, and the big ships of Prince Yan's Mansion to help them transport it such a long distance, the price will be very low.
As for the shipment to the Ming Dynasty, how much the Yan Palace sells it to those wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families is a matter of our Yan Palace and has nothing to do with them!
Then, tell me what goods they want from the Ming Dynasty, Prince Yan’s Palace, I, Prince Yan’s Palace, bought them from the Ming Dynasty, transported them to Goryeo, and sold them to them..."
"hiss……"
After listening, even Shi Xing, who didn't know much about business, could hear the profit in it.
As for Jin Zhong and Fu Yiquan, their eyes widened.
"If that's the case, then my Prince Yan's Mansion...can't..."
Chang Guoting nodded slightly, took out two account books and handed them to Jin Zhong.
"Scroll Jin, these are the goods on these big ships, as well as the goods that the Goryeo dignitaries want to buy... Please also ask Scrivener Jin to inform the merchants who cooperate with me, Prince Yan's Mansion, so that they can deliver and pick up the goods as soon as possible. …”
Jin Zhong quickly opened it and took a look, but his eyelids twitched.
Your Highness and Guo Changshi, they are not conquering a country, they are clearly conquering a golden mountain.
Chang Guoting said again: "Jin Shuli, we will also hand over all your Highness's property to Zhu Changshi and the princess, and send letters to the palace and Guo Mansion...
His Highness and Guo Changshi also asked me to wait for many things, and the Jin scribes are troubled here..."
Jin Zhong said: "You guys will go ahead..."
Chang Guoting and others bowed their hands slightly and quickly started busy.
Such a huge movement cannot be hidden from anyone.
Soon, the entire Beiping Mansion was shaken.
Especially those merchants and gentry...
His Royal Highness King Yan captured Wangjing of Goryeo!
His Highness King Yan wants to do business with Goryeo dignitaries...
His Royal Highness King Yan...
…
The Capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Seeing the good news from the Northern Expedition, Lao Zhu was overjoyed.
"Okay, Naha was surrendered last year, and this year the Marquis of Yongchang defeated Tuogusi Timur again. Although Tuogusi Timur escaped with the prince Tianbaonu, the prime minister, the magistrate and dozens of others.
But the Marquis of Yongchang captured Dibaonu, the second son of Togusi Timur. Togusi Timur had hundreds of concubines and princesses, three thousand officials, more than 77,000 Mongolians, horses, camels, cattle, There are hundreds of thousands of sheep. As long as the Ming Dynasty distributes these horses and cattle, the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely become rich again..."
"Biao'er, Lan Yu is really a powerful general in our Ming Dynasty, compared to Wei Qing and Li Jing!
For such a great achievement, we have to give Lan Yu a title of Duke! "
Below, Zhu Biao was also smiling.
"Father is wise!"
Lao Zhu grinned, "Although the Northern Yuan Emperor Tuogu Si Timur escaped this time, his wife, children and tribe were all captured by the Ming Dynasty.
The situation in Beiyuan was over, and there was basically no threat to Ming Dynasty.
In the future, our Ming Dynasty will not need to recruit a large army to attack the desert. We only need to let the second and fourth kings of Sai lead troops to fight those Mongols..."
As he said this, Lao Zhu's expression darkened again.
"It's been so long and there's still no news about that bastard Fourth Brother?"
