Crowned with Pearls

  Wealth and silk move people's hearts, no matter when, the law left by this ancestor works, and King Min is completely subdued by these huge profits.

   So much silver! As long as they can take Da Zhou's cloth, tea and china overseas, they will bring back thousands of precious stones, gold, silver and even spices. These things are huge for the people of Da Zhou. incomparable wealth.

   Not to mention anything else, just say that the gems that Princess Min got are bigger than those of the concubines in the palace combined.

   If he had known that he would have such benefits after coming to the vassal, King Min would have already come, and he would have hesitated.

Not to mention him, even Zhao Qingye, after coming to Zhangzhou, feels that everything goes well. She is the most honorable in Zhangzhou. In the capital, you have to look at the face of the queen mother and the concubine, and also pay attention to the relationship between the concubines. It is even more necessary to humiliate the grandson of the concubine Su Yao, but in Zhangzhou, she is the biggest, so what is the prefect's wife? Just like wagging her tail and begging for pity, begging for her to be able to meet her with dignity.

   From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

  People are easily fascinated by wealth and power, and just in Zhangzhou, both of these two greatly satisfied King Min.

  King Min is no longer just to satisfy the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he wants to earn more!

   But at this moment, Uncle Qiu found him worried, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not good."

   He said, the expression on his face was very decadent, as if he had encountered something embarrassing.

A few months later, the current Prince Min's mansion has almost been built, with carved beams and painted columns, and it is splendid. If you don't say it, you will think that it is a newly built palace. It is very beautiful. The pillars inside are all made of gold powder. The drawn pattern, looking at the past, feels brilliant and dazzling, making people feel relaxed and happy.

   These are all built by Uncle Qiu. How much money was spent in them? Although King Min didn't read the ledger, he probably knew it.

   Because of this, his attitude towards Uncle Qiu is very lenient and tolerant. Hearing Uncle Qiu in such a hurry, he said, "What's so difficult? Cheng Qi can talk about it slowly."

   Uncle Qiu's fleet will be responsible for going to sea for King Min in the future. King Min naturally values ​​him. If it is not too embarrassing, King Min will help him do it if he wants to.

   Anyway, there are still a lot of places to use these people in the future.

   However, Uncle Qiu was sweating on his forehead. He asked King Min with a sad face: "His Royal Highness left Beijing more than half a year ago. I wonder if anyone in the court mentioned the construction of the Shibo Division at that time?"

   City Shipping Company?

  King Min was stunned, and Hong Changshi reminded him: "Your Highness, there is indeed such a thing. It was mentioned by the huge people in the court. The purpose is to open up maritime trade, have you forgotten?"

   Being reminded by Hong Changshi, King Min also remembered.

   This is indeed the case. At that time, the DPRK and China seemed to have a very fierce dispute over this matter. In the end, it seemed that Pang Qingping won, and the DPRK and China agreed to let him recruit troops to train the navy.

   He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

   Even if it happened, what happened?

Uncle Qiu suddenly became more anxious, he frowned and said, "If the Shibo Division is built, then we will all be subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court when we go to sea in the future, and we have to pay taxes to the Shibo Division, Your Highness, don't you understand! "

   King Min really didn't quite understand it.

   He is only a prince, not a prince. The education he received since he was a child was not taught to do business, and he did not understand the difference.

Hong Changshi hurriedly explained to him: "His Royal Highness, that is to say, if the Shibo Division rises, the imperial court will send officials to the Shibo Division, and the qualifications for going to sea in the future will be controlled by the Shibo Division, and who can go to sea, Who can't go out to sea, the shipping department will check the amount of goods going out to sea, and collect taxes, these taxes are all for the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you."

   To put it simply, that is to say, the benefits here in the future will not belong to King Min, but the court.

  King Min thought of this, his expression changed suddenly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This kind of taste is like you have just dug a treasure. You know that this treasure can make you rich and let you get everything you imagined from now on. However, just when you have it at your fingertips, a group of people suddenly ran out. Tell you, this treasure is theirs, and they are taking it back.

   King Min's eyes darkened, and his face was ugly and scary.

Uncle Qiu sighed: "Originally, we have been sending people to inquire about whether this is feasible or not. It is precisely because of this that we have become very cautious now, and we are afraid that we will not be able to come back after going to sea, and it has changed when we come back. Heaven and earth. Fortunately, in the past six months, it was all thunder and rain, so we didn't take it too seriously. Who knows, we heard that this matter is likely to come true. "

He looked at King Min's face: "His Royal Highness, if it's true, then we're only afraid that we won't be able to earn 10% of what we used to be. After all, there are too many people who want to eat this cup of soup after opening up the sea trade, even if it's ours. It is impossible to swallow the whole of the relationship. The profits are divided again and again, and the money we earn has to be paid to the court. Even for you, it is not a good thing. If you earn this money, I am afraid that the court will treat you. Be afraid, if you earn more and pay taxes, the imperial court also knows your income in mind."

  This is the most important place!

   King Min's expression changed completely.

   He couldn't stand his life, which had just improved a little, being beaten back to its original shape.

  If the Shibo Division was really built, it would be a cheap affair for the imperial court.

Hong Changshi also sighed: "I originally thought that we had found a good way to make a fortune. If we have this money, we can also expand the guard team under the banner of Japanese pirates, who knows. I'm afraid it's going to be slow again."

   Slowly boil, how long will it be?

  If it continues like this, it will be too late.

   King Min had tasted the benefits of money, and he wanted to go further, so when what he could already hold in his hand was about to slip away, he had no hesitation at all.

   He said viciously: "Who said it could be built?!"

   He asked Hong Changshi: "Write a letter back to the capital to find out the whole story. This king needs to know all the details!"

  This Shipbuilding Company is going to be built in Fujian?

   He will let them build!

   Uncle Qiu and Hong Changshi looked at each other, and the two of them tacitly looked away.

   When King Min made a statement, Uncle Qiu heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Lord, thank you! Lord, you must be careful about this!"
