Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 194 What is the empire on which the sun never sets

Although Jia Amnesty was not familiar with business affairs, he knew a little bit.

The profit of maritime merchants is almost the same as picking up money.Those big families in the south of the Yangtze River who opposed the opening of the sea all relied on smuggling and making a lot of money.

"Father, Your Majesty still has concerns about going to sea, so my son advises that in order to prevent the internal treasury from spending too much, it is better to bring along the nobles and relatives of the martial arts in Beijing. Although your Majesty has not yet made a decision on this matter, it is likely to be nine out of ten."

Jia Cong followed the temptation and seduced the Elder She, whose eyes turned into copper coins: "Father, this is a rare opportunity. The gang in Jiangnan must not eat meat. Our family can't even drink some soup."

Jia's family was really short of money, and Yuanchun's family garden alone drained the two houses. Master She beat the little black fat man on the head with his hand, and asked, "How much do you need?"

"No matter what, it's 10 taels. His Highness took out all the money he had saved over the years, and his son can't be too far behind."

Jia She chuckled: "Father will give you 20 taels, and you will send it to His Highness the Fourth Highness. Remember, our family invested 15 taels, and the remaining [-] taels belong to the concubine Xian..."

After saying that, Elder Xi walked into the inner room, and after a while came out with a wooden box in his arms. After he opened it on the table, it contained a thick stack of banknotes.

Good guy, the top one is Liu Ji Bank with 1000 taels of full silver.

Jia Cong's eyes widened, and he asked in confusion, "Father, where did you get the money?"

"In this year and month, who hasn't ordered private money?"

Jia She winked at Jia Cong: "Father has already started saving money for you to marry a wife, and this Rongguo Mansion will belong to your second brother in the future, and father can't treat one more favorably than another, and always prepare some for you to buy a house and marry a wife." Money. 20 is just right, go out to sea with His Majesty's fleet, earn money without losing money, take it!"

The little black fat man's eyes turned sore when he heard this, this unreliable father is actually very reliable.He solemnly took the small wooden box, sniffled and said, "Thank you dad..."

"Silly boy, this is prepared by father for you. Go ahead and send it to His Highness the Fourth Highness as soon as possible. Remember, [-] of it is recorded in the name of Concubine Xian."

Jia Amnesty thought very comprehensively, Jia Cong nodded, and left the study with the small wooden box in his arms.

After watching Jia Cong leave, Grand Master She leisurely returned to the inner room, uncovered a painting, took out another small wooden box from the dark cabinet behind him, opened it, and counted happily.

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand... 8000 taels, not bad, enough for me to go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion for another ten years."

……

Liu Hong had just sent Xia Shouzhong away when he saw Jia Cong rushing over with a small wooden box in his arms.

As soon as he entered the study, he put the wooden box on the table, lifted the teapot on the table, and started to ton.

"I'm dying of thirst..."

Jia Cong felt a cold sensation in his throat, and finally took a breath and opened the wooden box. The bank notes inside made even Liu Hong speechless.

"20 taels, my family invested 15 taels, and the remaining 5 taels belong to my eldest sister. Fourth brother, brother, whether I can turn salty fish over is up to you."

"20? Didn't you say 10 taels?"

Liu Hong said dumbfoundedly: "I can count less than 10 taels, but you gave me a big surprise."

Jia Cong spread his hands and explained: "This is what my father secretly saved for me to marry a wife. If I lose money, I will stay at your house and never leave."

"Parents love their sons for far-reaching plans. Gong She is really a loving father."

Liu Hong was not polite, put away the wooden box, and then dragged Jia Cong to the chart presented by the Western merchant.

"Brother Cong, are the potatoes and corn you mentioned really so productive?"

"It's not wrong. Westerners have already cultivated and planted it. When we get the seeds, there will be no famine in Great Summer!"

Jia Cong has carefully inquired about potatoes and corn in the past two years. According to the descriptions of those Western fan merchants, there are already people in Gaul and Yiguo who are cultivating and planting potatoes, but there is no news about corn.

Originally, he planned to get some potatoes from the western fan merchants, but unexpectedly, each of these fan merchants turned down his request vigilantly.

Even after throwing out a high commission, it still didn't let him let go.Sure enough, people who are not of our race must have a different heart. This group of fan merchants probably sensed the strength of the Celestial Dynasty, and worried that with enough food, Xiyang would be trampled down by Daxia's cavalry.

It is very difficult to get the potatoes back from the West by personal power, but Jia Cong has many thighs.As early as the end of last year, after he returned from Jiangnan, he reported the matter of Tudou to the old man and the emperor. After careful investigation by the Long Guard, the news was finally confirmed.

If it weren't for the fact that Daxia's navy was not enough to go to the West, and Daxia's internal worries had not been resolved, it is estimated that the emperor with green eyes would give everything he had to send a large navy to pacify the Western countries.

"It's a pity. If we have these potato seeds, the severe drought in Shuntian Prefecture will be an opportunity to promote new varieties."

Liu Hong looked at the sea chart that he had finally obtained, as if he was stroking a beauty, with an idiot-like expression on his face.

cough cough...

Jia Cong coughed twice, interrupting the vain fantasy of this man who always wanted to conquer the sea, rolled his eyes and said: "Fourth brother, take advantage of the opportunity to open the sea, let's bring back more money. Then grow stronger When the time comes, our fleet will not only earn money, but also become a strong team of sea athletes, and the Japanese pirates’ silver mountain is still waiting for us.”

The royal father and son are both lovers of money.

The emperor still has to consider government affairs, and Liu Hong, the future prince, has no scruples. Under Jia Cong's flickering these days, his mind is full of flattening the Japanese kingdom, robbing money, robbing money, or his mother money grab!

The Dragon Guards have caught a lot of vagrants from the Wa Kingdom. It is said that there is a place in the Wa Kingdom where you can pick up big silver bumps if you just walk around the mountain...

Damn, how can such a good place be occupied by low and ugly Japanese slaves?

The two of them were lying on the huge chart, sweating non-stop, muttering and discussing something, and laughing strangely from time to time.

Liu Heng, who had been busy all morning, was planning to come and teach his son. He had just walked into the gate of the small courtyard, and saw two boys laying on the ground in the study with the door open, giggling.

He stopped the palace servant who wanted to remind the two of them, and approached gently.

It turned out to be studying charts!

"Brother Cong, why do you know so much about the sea?"

Just heard Jia Cong chuckle, bragging to Liu Hong: "That's right, I have studied the matter of going to sea for a long time, after all, I am the man who wants to be the king of the sea!"

He was bragging with Liu Hong, but the bright study suddenly went dark.A shadow appeared on the chart, blocking the light projected from the door.

Jia Cong subconsciously shouted: "Who, get out of the way quickly, don't block the light!"

"Jia Xiaosan, come and tell me, how do you plan to be the man of the King of the Sea?"

Gah!
"Your Majesty, isn't there you here? Under your rule, my Great Xia Dynasty will become an empire on which the sun never sets, and I will be a prince of the sea for you, and I will conquer the world for you, conquering no ministers!"

Jia Cong laughed and scratched his head, and offered compliments like a dog.

Liu Heng tapped on the heads of the two, sat on the chair and asked, "What is the empire on which the sun never sets?"
