The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 236 Overjoyed
Huang Sheng first imported grain for backup when he did not have a grain base.

It is better to spend more money than to hesitate. To build a large number of new grain depots on several islands is to prepare to store as much grain as possible, so as to be able to save the Han people who are facing starvation in the future.

Huang Sheng bought another 21 taels of silver and 30 shi when he bought rice flowers. Huang Sheng’s 7 taels and the shares of several partners in the Li family can get 14 taels of silver.

I brought 15 taels of porcelain, Songjiang cloth, soap gift boxes, and dioramas, and I can get back 10,000+ taels of silver.

Li Er saw that such a shrewd Mr. Huang did stupid things and bought all the hard-earned money and thought it was not worth it, so he advised:

"Master Huang, I thought that cheap things are not sold for thousands of miles, and a stone of rice can be bought at such a price in Nanzhili, and the journey is nearly half that of buying it from Japan. Few people are willing to do such a business. Why?"

Of course Huang Shenghua is generous with the money, and the son he picked up is not difficult to serve as a soldier!All the supplies from the pirates were handed over to Li Guo to help sell the stolen goods. This kid gave himself more than half of the cash he got from shipping in Edo.

The Huang family got 10,000+ taels of silver at once. Even the cash seized from the pirates’ lair brought back nearly 100 million taels this time. The Huang family didn’t have to worry about the investment for a year or two.

Huang Sheng smiled and said, "That's up to you to say, it's too troublesome and wasteful without any profit."

Li Guozhu didn't understand Master Huang's purpose even more, and asked: "Since you know that long-distance rice trafficking does not make money at all, why do you want to buy it from Japan, which is even more distant?"

"The first reason is because I just dropped by when I went back, and I didn't come here specifically to transport grain, so the shipping cost is negligible. The second reason is that I have a spare grain depot, the storage cost is limited, and the loss is not large. The last reason is the most important. It's important, it doesn't matter if I have more trouble, Da Ming can produce this much more food!"

Li Guozhu and Li Er were talking about business just now, but now they seem to be thinking about Huang Sheng's words.

In fact, Huang Sheng has also calculated that the freight plus the short-cut labor costs and a certain amount of storage loss will definitely not make a profit, and it may even be reversed. The problem is that natural disasters will continue after the Ming Dynasty, and an extra 30 shi of rice can save several 10 yuan. People are brought back from the brink of starvation.

As for how many people in Japan will go hungry due to the lack of so much food, Huang Sheng doesn't care. Anyway, they can catch fish to eat, so they should find a way to increase the sowing area next year.

The total tonnage of the returned goods reached [-] tons, and even the Huang family's warships and cargo ships were fully loaded, and they would not have been able to carry them. This is thanks to the pirates who provided eleven No. [-] Fuchuan-class warships and dozens of ships the size of horse boats.

It can be seen that the profit of doing anything is not as fast as that of robbers. No wonder the Han people joked that robbery is a business without capital!

Li Er wanted to understand Mr. Huang's words and saluted him: "Mr. Huang is kind-hearted, and I admire him a little. In the future, our Li family can also bring some food when the merchant ships that come and go have spare capacity."

Huang Sheng said to Li Guozhu: "The reason why I don't suppress the price of grain sold by those big names is to make them profitable, and Mr. Li also wants to build a grain depot in the private port to help me buy grain.

The official will go there every year during the autumn harvest. You can’t pay me less than 30 shi. No matter how cheap the price you can get, the official will settle with you at seven renminbi per shi. "

Li Guozhu was overjoyed, he saw that the profitable copper ingots were no longer in his hands, and they directly signed a supply contract with General Zhengyi.

This time, because Tokugawa Iemitsu has controlled the copper ingot trade for many years and has too many sources of goods in hand, and because of the Japanese side's losses, he was slapped in the face by Daming, and he was not very persistent in the negotiations.

Huang Shengpai's negotiators, Shang Muming and Bian Zhiming, were instructed by the owner that the focus of the negotiation was to buy as much copper ingots as they wanted, and the price was also the main content of the negotiation.

The Japanese side gritted their teeth and gave 500 million catties in the spirit of sending the plague god, and also to compensate the British government for being robbed of too many merchant ships.

The Japanese knew that in Ming Dynasty, copper was money, and Japan also used copper coins. This is the reason why they controlled the outflow of copper.

There will not be so many long-term cooperation in the future, and they really can't afford it. The contract is finalized to deliver 100 million catties every autumn, and the price is still one tael of silver and sixteen catties.

Li Guozhu took over the business of purchasing grain as an agent for the Huang family. With his network in Japan, there are too many places where he can buy rice in large quantities.

Kagoshima can buy a lot, and it is still profitable to deliver food during the autumn harvest, which is the cheapest. As for whether it can earn [-]% or more, it depends on the output of Japanese rice next year.

Huang Sheng brought his men and horses to make a fortune in Japan, but he didn't know that the capital of Ming Dynasty had already been overwhelmed by happy events one after another.

On the ninth day of August in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, more than 3000 people from Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Dacheng and Gao Zhimou came to Tianjin Wei. Civil and military personnel at all levels in Tianjin Wei, who had already received the news, came to welcome them at the pier.

Zhang Zhiji and the others naturally performed at the pier again, allowing everyone to see the stinky head of Jiannu. The stench of vomiting could not be concealed.

But the onlookers, civil and military, soldiers and civilians didn't think it stinks. They couldn't express their joy when they saw the grinning heads, and wished they could kick a few as if they were balls.

The honorable delegation beat gongs and drums all the way to show the soldiers and civilians what they had gained. Such a meaningful political propaganda also catered to Emperor Tianqi’s wishes. Many officials also helped build momentum.

The short journey took five days for the nobles to reach the capital, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty greeted them ten miles away. Even Jiuqian and the British Duke came, and there were not a few elders.

The common people in the capital who had just recovered from the fear of the explosion at the Wang Gong Factory saw that the young British prince who coincidentally presided over a fighting show on May [-] and led everyone out of the capital city went to Liaodong to attack and kill Jiannu and returned to the imperial capital after victory. Run around and tell each other to watch the excitement.

The nobles in bright armor entered the inner city from Deshengmen with their heads held high, and offered a lot of gains at the Meridian Gate. The Emperor Longyan Dayue of the Apocalypse asked the cabinet to discuss the rewards.

The civil and military forces of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, including the emperor, had a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, good news came from Liaodong at the end of August.

At this time, none of them could have imagined that Daming's nightmare would come. That insidious strategist Hong was much more powerful than his murderous Lao Tzu.

Miss Chu'er, who was used to work, saw her brother come back in a beautiful manner, and pestered him to find out news about her sweetheart. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhiji didn't see her prospective brother-in-law at all this time, and knew nothing about his whereabouts, only the Huang family. Ma succeeded in a surprise attack on Fuzhou again, but he didn't hear that the Patriarch was injured.

The Duke of England was naturally very relieved, he held countless banquets for more than a month, and invited many officials. His prestige in the court was increasing day by day, and he publicly recognized Mr. Huang Sheng as his family's son-in-law.

The old madam has long since lost the lump in her heart, and she accompanied Chu'er to the temple to offer incense. She didn't care when she saw her daughter muttering to herself to bless the great talent. She usually taught her how to manage the housework with her In the inner house, you can't be a jealous wife and so on.
