Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 738 Just pay back?
In Ceylon, in the Palace of the Lord of the Lion City, Hu Xian, Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang lay on comfortable chairs and carefully looked at the luxurious Palace of the Lord of the City.

Unlike the reserved and low-key people of Ming Dynasty, Persians like to show off their wealth and power very much, and so does this Adal.

This small City Lord's Mansion is extremely luxuriously decorated, with carpets from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the walls are covered with gold flakes, and inlaid with a large number of gemstones and jade.

The blue and white porcelain from Ming Dynasty was used as ornaments, thick ivory pieces, beautiful corals, and whole, whole tiger skins, almost exhausted everything I had, and decorated it as magnificently as possible.

Now it's all cheap, Hu Xian and the others.

"Tsk tsk, these Persians are really not reserved at all. They are so luxuriously decorated. I don't know how much money we can get from conquering this Lion City."

Zhu Benduan looked at the luxurious City Lord's Mansion and couldn't help sighing.

The merchants of Ming Dynasty wished that everyone would not know that I was rich, and these Persian merchants wished that the whole world would know that they were rich, forming a stark contrast.

"I'll find out soon. I guess we can get a lot of money from the Lion City alone."

Feng Xiang smiled and said, this feeling is really wonderful.

Directly conquering a place by relying on powerful force, and taking the wealth accumulated by other people's hard work at once, this kind of business without capital seems to be the highest state of business.

"Now it's just an appetizer. Chen Lin's side has already attacked the cities of the Middle Easterners. After sweeping out the Middle Easterners and Arabs, we will gain a foothold here. The next step is the main event."

Hu Xian smiled, and it went smoothly unexpectedly. He took down the Persian Lion City almost effortlessly. The cities built in the Middle East here are similar to the Lion City, and it is estimated that they can be taken down soon.

Here in an open space in the City Lord's Mansion, boxes are being brought in one after another, and a cashier is keeping records with paper and pens, recording every loot obtained here in detail.

The accountant keeps records here, and there are also several people writing separate account books next to them. Gold and silver are weighed, gems, jewelry, coral, ivory, emeralds, etc. are individually numbered and recorded in detail.

Even the gold and silver obtained here will be melted down, numbered, and finally transported back to Daming.

Everything you get here, a tiger skin, a sheepskin, must be clearly recorded, even the Persians who were demoted to slaves.

Western United Commercial Bank is a joint-stock firm, and the major commercial firms contribute capital and people, so they also attach great importance to income. Every shareholder has sent someone to supervise the actions of Western United Commercial Bank, and more importantly, to record the Western United Commercial Bank. earnings here.

Every point of wealth obtained here belongs to the Western United Commercial Bank, and it will need to be distributed uniformly at that time.

Not only these shareholders, but even these soldiers have been sent to supervise, and they also have shares, according to the original agreement.

The soldiers who participated in the island of Ceylon also have a share. The wealth and land obtained here have their share. Even if they die in battle, this share will also fall to their children. on the head.

Of course, correspondingly, they cannot hide everything they have obtained here. If someone is found hiding something, the consequences will be very serious, and the punishment will be very terrible.

"Twenty thousand taels of gold~"

"Silver, five hundred thousand taels~"

While weighing it, someone shouted out that there are too many things searched here in the Lion City. It is difficult to calculate the value of gems, jade, ivory, pearls, corals and the like, so they are all individually numbered. Back to Daming Let's deal with it later.

But gold and silver are more convenient to count, just weigh them directly and calculate the weight.

Box after box of gold and silver was weighed continuously, and soon the combined value of gold and silver exceeded [-] taels of silver.

"There is only [-] taels of gold?"

"Silver is more than five hundred thousand taels?"

Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang and Hu Xian also came over when they heard the voice, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's probably more than half of the weighing. In addition, our people are still digging three feet into the ground. I believe we can still dig out some gold and silver."

"In addition, the gold and silver from the City Lord's Mansion have not yet been scraped off. There are also gems and jadeites whose value is difficult to estimate. At present, they are only numbered, and they will be evaluated uniformly after they are brought back to Daming."

When Master Hu, who was in charge of this matter, saw the three of them approaching, he quickly nodded and replied.

Mr. Hu is not a member of the three men, but a person sent by Li Chunyang, a merchant from all over the world, who is responsible for the financial affairs of the Western United Commercial Bank. He can be regarded as the financial director of the later company.

"Then how can we say that what we have gained here in Lion City alone is enough to pay back?"

Feng Xiang was taken aback, thought for a while and replied.

"Yes, the wealth obtained here in Lion City is enough to pay back, and there is still money to be made."

"The gold and silver here are not too much. The real valuables are the precious stones, emeralds, ivory, coral, pearls, etc. I estimate that the value of these things may exceed five million taels of silver."

"In addition, we captured about [-] Persians, and sold them as slaves to Nanyang. At least, we could sell them for [-] taels of silver each. Calculated, it was more than [-] taels of silver. .”

"In addition, we seized more than [-] Persian ships at the port, and there were a lot of cargo on the ships. These things can be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"According to all kinds of odds and ends, we can get more than eight million taels of property in Lion City alone."

Master Hu said very seriously while looking through the ledger.

He is from Jiaxing, and the master in Jiaxing is famous. He has made very detailed statistics in all aspects, and the accounts are also clear. His valuation is absolutely infallible.

"A property worth eight million taels of silver?"

When the people around heard it, they couldn't help being speechless, and when they looked at the mountains of gold and silver, boxes of jewels, emeralds, gems, corals, etc., all of them couldn't help laughing. stand up.

"Is it possible to find property worth eight million taels in such a big place?"

Zhu Benduan was dumbfounded, he is also a person who has seen the world, when he was a salt merchant, the money came in like a river.

But he couldn't believe that this small and bigger Lion City was able to find property worth eight million taels of silver.

Is the money coming a little too fast, and too much?

Property worth eight million taels of silver, this is not eight thousand taels, nor eight hundred thousand taels, but eight million taels of property, which is simply unbelievable.

"Could it be a mistake?"

Feng Xianger's research institute was slightly dumbfounded, this is too much.

One or two million taels is almost the same. It is hard to believe that such a huge number has come out.

"It can't be wrong!"

"Gold and silver can be seen and weighed, so it's easy to calculate."

"The gemstones and emeralds here are all top-notch, especially gemstones. Many gemstones are extremely precious and have a very high value. Like this sapphire, it is big, pure in color, and has no flaws. It was shipped back to our Daming, It is very easy to sell casually for a hundred thousand taels of silver."

"And these emeralds, look, the value of such top-level imperial green emeralds is immeasurable."

"The island of Ceylon is located in the center of the traffic arteries, from south to north, from east to west, and almost all the good things from the entire western region gather here."

"The Persians are extremely good at doing business. Their merchants fill every corner of the Western region. Doing business at sea is naturally very profitable."

"So it's not surprising to get so much property here."

Master Hu said very confidently that he is an old man of the Universal Commercial Company. Not only is he a good accountant, but he has also cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. He can recognize good things at a glance, and he can also estimate its value.

"Haha, okay, now I'm really rich~"

"It's just a small lion city. When the city of the people in the Middle East is conquered, wouldn't it be easy to get more than ten million taels of white clothes?"

Feng Xiangzhi nodded, and then laughed happily.

This business can be done, and it is a profitable business.

They have just arrived in Ceylon Island. Not only did they get back their money, but they also made a lot of money. It was simple and easy. Compared with doing business at sea, this business made money too quickly and easily.

"Yes, yes~"

"I finally understand why Tian Erniu is going to attack the two Golden Continent Kingdoms. This business is really profitable."

Zhu Benduan also couldn't help sighing, the money-making business really came quickly.

"Haha, let me just say, we should learn from Liu Jin and Tian Erniu. They never talk about etiquette and shame overseas. As long as things can be solved with artillery, they will never waste their words. "

"Look, this is just a small lion city on the island of Ceylon. The world is very big. What if we can take the entire island of Ceylon?"

"Or will we conquer Burma in the future?"

"There is also Tianzhu in the north, which is so huge and has many kingdoms. What if we can conquer Tianzhu?"

"What kind of wealth can we obtain by then?"

Hu Xian smiled all over his face. What he gained here in the Lion City proved that he was right, and his ideas were right. This is an era where the bold, the hungry, and the timid are exhausted.

If you want to get rich, you have to conquer the whole world like a robber.

　It shouldn't be too exaggerated, right?
