The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 206 Pirates
Troops and horses move ahead without food and forage.

Similarly, Chen Deyan from the capital city had already been notified by his eldest brother before Jinzhou's memorial was released.

The boat from Jinzhou not only sent Jia Lian back, but also transported two pairs of live deer, four pairs of live white rabbits, four pairs of live black rabbits, two pairs of live golden pheasants, and two pairs of live black ducks.

A gift to the ladies in the house.

Chen Deyan received Jia Lian, and also sent these living creatures to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion.

The ladies in the two mansions are all raised by the old lady.

In the outer hall, after everyone was seated, without mentioning Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and Jia Zhen, even the most staid Jia Zheng, looked concerned.

Knowing that the merchants in Macau and Jinling have finalized the matter, they were relieved.

Especially Jia Amnesty.

With the strengthening of his relationship in the army, he has to consume nearly ten thousand taels of silver every year in human relations.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, there are only eight or nine Zhuangzi in Jinzhou left outside the pass.

The year was not good, the war was raging, and the money was only a few thousand taels a year, and the government's expenditure was so high that even the government could not afford to supply it.

In the past two years, he had already spent very little of the money he got from the Shifu.

Xue Pan was also invited over.

Although they were all his relatives, this time was unusual. He remained calm and personally presented the brochures on the cabinet to everyone.

Porcelain, not to mention tea, the largest cloth, because of economic changes, the price has a lot of fluctuations.

The list that Xue Pan presented to everyone recorded the latest market price of Da Zhou Jiangnan.

Nine cents and six cents of silver per piece of red and yellow Hang fine silk.

Red silk costs one, two, two, eight cents per horse.

Huang Ling costs one, two, two, eight cents per horse.

Qingsu silver silk yarn costs three cents per piece.

White raw silk costs six qian per piece.

Silk cloth costs two cents and six cents per piece.

Lan Ling is worth seven cents per horse.

Satin costs seven dollars a piece.

Brocade is five cents and six cents a piece.

Cotton cloth costs two bucks a piece.

……

After everyone read it, they could only say that they didn't understand why, and they had never been in business, so they didn't know where to ask.

Jia Lian has a lot of experience in Macau and knows that these are the most popular commodities in Macau. As long as they are shipped to Macau, they will not worry about not being sold.

But because of the strict sea ban, although there is smuggling, how can it compare with the situation of Jeju Island's opening and closing.

As long as the imperial court allows Jinling to supply Lushun and allow ships to go to sea, there will be great things to do.

The former is a violation of the ancestral system, and the latter is a violation.

Can't be compared.

Moreover, the transportation cost of smuggling is also high. The cost of transporting from Jiangnan to Fujian to sea is not low.

"What price is Tang Brothers planning to buy?"

Jia Lian asked Chen Deyan.

"Take it at twice the price."

As soon as Chen De finished speaking, everyone took a deep breath.

This is the market price, not the cost price. If you buy it at twice the market price, the profit will be huge.

"Aren't you afraid that the goods won't be sold if you charge Ange like this?"

Jia Zheng said worriedly.

Jia Lian was dissatisfied instead.

Among them, only the brocade is sold at four pesos per piece in Macau, and the silver price of Westerners, including silver, is equal to two cents and eight taels of Dazhou.

The market price in Jinling was five cents and six cents a horse, but Tang Qing'an paid twice the price, which was only one tael, one cent and two cents.

He made one or two or six dollars just by changing hands.

After all, Jia Lian had traveled tens of thousands of miles, and he was well-informed, unlike Jia Zheng's shallow-sighted.

The cloth used for long-distance sales in Dazhou reaches 4000 million pieces a year, and only Songjiang brocade cloth with the best quality and largest output can be sold well all over the country.

Therefore, the annual output of Songjiang Jinbu is 2000 million pieces.

It only needs one percent, 20 horses a year, and Tang Qingan's profit is 26 taels of silver.

Not to mention the rest of the cloth, porcelain, etc., according to his purchase price, they were resold to people from all over the world, and not only the Hongyi people rushed to ask for it.

There are also businessmen from various countries in South Asia scrambling to get it. It is not a problem to earn 80 million taels of silver a year.

As for Jia's House, Xue's House, Zhen's House, and their connections in various places, the merchants who come forward to do business can only earn 80 million taels of silver a year.

A lot of people, labor, money, costs, and relationships are not worth what Tang Qing'an earned alone.

Although based on the current situation of Jia's mansion, if it were normal, there would suddenly be an additional business of more than [-] taels of silver per year.

Things you can't even think about.

Yes, in this business, Jia's family can probably earn more than [-] taels, and the Zhen family, as a local snake, can earn more than [-] taels of silver.

There are also local dignitaries, officials, and even eunuchs, who collectively share more than 4 taels of silver, and the Xue family earns [-] taels of silver.

There are also more than a dozen silk merchants and weavers who came forward to earn the remaining 30 taels of silver.

As for mulberry farmers and weaver households, their profits are already included in the market price.

The extra profits from sea trade will not flow into their households no matter what.

Other families may not understand the power of it, they will only jump their feet and be very happy.

Jia Lian was different, thinking of Tang Qing'an's profit, he was not very happy.

Hear Jia Lian's question.

Chen Deyan laughed.

"Why is Second Master Lian so focused on getting into the business again? Although my elder brother has made a lot of profits, doesn't it mean that Second Master Lian doesn't understand the situation of my elder brother?"

Chen Deyan's words woke Jia Lian up.

Even Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng, and Xue Pan who were influenced by Jia Lian just now came to their senses.

"My eldest brother has 170 million Liao people to support, and the 80 million taels of silver is not enough to pay the [-] battalion soldiers for a year.

The Jinzhou Army and the Zhenjiang Army now have a total of 12 soldiers. They are not only the foundation of my elder brother, but also the foundation of the Jia Mansion. "

Chen Deyan said sincerely.

In fact, he didn't say what the elder brother said.

According to Big Brother's forecast, the trade volume of Western countries alone can reach 300 million taels a year, not to mention Southeast Asian countries.

Even if it reaches 170 million taels next year, it looks scary, but in fact it can be doubled in a few years.

And because he controls the price and monopolizes the source, it can be more expensive than selling in Macau.

The eldest brother told him in his letter that if Westerners transport these goods back to other places, even at the market price in Macau, the profit can reach nine or ten times.

Seeing what the elder brother said in the letter, even Chen Deyan, who had always been convinced by the elder brother, was in a daze for a while.

With such a high price and ten times the profit, it's no wonder that these Hongyi people are rushing to do business with Da Zhou like lunatics.

Jia Amnesty scolded Jia Lian without waiting for the others to react.

"You're getting confused. What do people like us want money for? You can't even tell the priority.

You are still boasting that you are the most well-informed person in the capital, I think it is bullshit, and you are getting more and more stupid. "

Hearing his father's scolding, Jia Lian kept silent.

Tang Qing'an was his son-in-law, Jia Zheng supported his beard, and did not speak for Jia Lian.

Jia Zhen smiled.

"Brother Lian also saw through Brother Tang's profits. As expected of a discerning person, the more you know, the more you get lost."

Hearing Jia Zhen defending him, Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen gratefully.

In order to make up for the behavior just now, Jia Lian laughed.

"When I was in Macau, I met many smugglers, and I am afraid that some merchants in Jinling also know the price in Macau.

It's not that they dare to oppose one or two, this profit is enough for them to earn.

It's just that when transported to Macau, it can be multiplied by five, six, seven, or eight times, and the money is touching. I'm afraid they will have other thoughts. "

"What's the other side of the mind? Those merchants dare to go against us?"

Jia Zhen wondered.

Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen and smiled.

"Even if Jinling Xungui doesn't know how to do this, but some merchants do, and if they ask their bosses for advice, it's inevitable that Xungui will be tempted.

In June next year, after the cargo ship goes to sea, who knows whether it will go to Jeju Island or Macau. The sea is so vast that no one can control it. "

It makes sense.

Even the Zhen family in Jinling, since they have a hole, they will definitely be able to pry it open, regardless of the favor of the Jia family.

After all, shipping to Macau is twice as profitable as shipping to Jeju Island.

"Brother Tang, do you have any predictions?"

Jia Zhen looked at Chen Deyan with a worried look on her face.

If it was as Jia Lian said, then this business would be making wedding dresses for others.

They can control merchants, but they can't control nobles.

Although the Zhen family in Jinling is not as high as theirs, they are not less powerful than them, and they are old relatives for generations.

It's a joke to really turn your face for the sake of business.

Could they still come to the door and ask how many boats the Zhen family sent to Jeju Island, and casually say the number, but they have no choice.

"My elder brother informed that the Japanese pirates have risen again, and they have encountered several times in the Korean waters.

If it wasn't for worrying about reporting this matter to the imperial court, the imperial court would have tightened the sea ban, resulting in the prohibition of trade policies, and it would have been dismissed long ago.

However, it is estimated that the southeast coastal area will not be peaceful in the future. "

Chen Deyan breathed out.

Everyone frowned first, then relaxed after hearing half of it.

The story of the Japanese pirates will be spread in the capital after the Lushun business is approved. The Zhen family in Jinling is not a fool, so they should know what it means.

"Can Jinzhou benefit the ship?"

Jia Amnesty asked.

He cared most about the army, so he saw something different from Chen Deyan's words.

The area outside Jinling is not comparable to the sea area of ​​Jinzhou.

The wind and the waves are big, and sand boats are not easy to sail. Only blessing boats can ride the wind and waves.

"A lot of shipwrights were recruited in Zhili, Shandong, and Jinling before, and there were three major shipyards, and the big logs used to make the keel still exist.

The preparation process such as painting and drying in the shade has been done for two years, so the keel can be directly manufactured, and other items are prepared by the shipyard.

Six boats have been launched, and four boats are still under construction in the dock. It is estimated that there will be ten lucky boats next month.

According to the speed of the expansion of the shipyard, it is estimated that by June next year, Jinzhou will have more than [-] Fuchuan, and dozens of large sandships will be enough to control the sea off Jinling. "

Chen Deyan said confidently.

Jia Amnesty still said worriedly.

"The sea is vast, dozens of ships are a lot to say, they are like sand and dust on the sea, how can they be taken care of.

It is not easy to catch one or two of the ten cargo ships that are stolen to Macau, so there is no way to talk about control. "

Just as Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he saw his son Jia Lian hesitate to speak.

"If you want to talk, then talk, if you don't talk, don't talk, they are all family members, who look like hesitating, who do you want to show?"

Hearing his father's words, Jia Lian reminded him softly.

"This is a merchant ship. The loss of one ship costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. How much profit can it make up for? If one or two ships are caught out of ten ships, it is enough to scare others."

Only then did Jia She understand.

I was confused and compared merchant ships with warships.

Don't mention how the old men talk about things in the outer hall.

Zhou Rui's family sent the stubbornness sent by General Jinzhou to the old lady.

The three ladies in the mansion, as well as Lin Daiyu, were all there.

Baoyu was away, so he went to school to study.

Although it is not a rare item, the ladies in the mansion love new and strange things the most.

So when they saw the little animals in the yard, they all smiled happily.

"My brother-in-law is still considerate. Knowing that we are bored in the mansion, he specially sent things to tease us."

Xichun had a childlike face.

Tanchun immediately rolled her eyes.

this kid.

Brother-in-law before brother-in-law and queen, I am not afraid of being laughed at.
