Since she is the nephew of her husband, father, son, and nephew, she is also her junior.
Commander Xie Xie Mao took Luo Huaiyuan and his party back to his mansion and gave them a warm reception.
Luo Huaiyuan naturally didn't know what Xie Mao was thinking, but Xie Mao, as the commander of the Fujian Provincial Department, naturally knew many things that the outside world did not know.
Although his faction has never been vassalized by anyone on the surface, it is actually a lineage of Duke Zhen Guo. Now that the court is arguing about the issue of the sea ban, the grandfather suddenly has a son and nephew, and he can't bear to think about it.
One is the old fox and the other is the little fox. They seem to get along very well on the surface.
Everyone wanted to trap each other, but in the end, no one caught anyone.
Luo Huaiyuan lived in Xie Mao's mansion for three days, and Xie Mao held a banquet in person to entertain him for three consecutive days. From the inside, it is a confrontation between big and small foxes, but from the outside, it is not so simple.
Everyone is also thinking about what kind of anti-corruption hero suddenly appeared below, creating such a big momentum. Could it be that Xie Commander led all this? For the sake of creating momentum for the younger generation
Press not to mention.
Xie Mao had been dealing with Luo Huaiyuan for a few days, and he also understood that this junior was a tight-lipped person. He seemed to be very young, but in fact he was very careful.
In the end, he revealed a secret, saying that Shen Xuan was coming to Fujian soon to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Navy.
In a previous life, Luo Huaiyuan would naturally not remember who Shen Xuan was, but in this life, as long as there was something about the little princess, he would keep it in his heart. At this time, I heard Xie Mao mentioned Shen Xuan, so it must not be other Shen Xuan, but that one.
The eldest grandson of Duke Zhen Guo and the eldest son of Shen Dong, the only one in the Shen family did not follow the old path of their ancestors, but ran out to join the Navy. You must know that Daxi is still dominated by the Marine Corps. Although there is a navy, the glory of the navy in the early years has been slowly dimmed in the forbidden sea for nearly a hundred years. And the land and water are not a family, even if Duke Zhen Guo holds the post of Zuo Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, Shen Xuan can hardly borrow any power.
Luo Huaiyuan had been famous for Shen Xuan for a long time in his last life, because in the end, the family of the Duke of Zhenguo was suppressed and declined, but Emperor Jin never dared to touch the Shen family, because there was a Shen Xuan in the Shen family.
At that time, Shen Xuan was the Admiral of the Fujian Naval Division. After the sea ban was lifted, half of Daxi's financial income was directed to maritime trade. Shen Xuan had been operating in the Fujian Naval Division for a long time, protecting the entire Daxi Sea Area. How could Emperor Jin dare? Broken this arm.
Inheriting the past and the future, Luo Huaiyuan had no choice but to give a compliment to Duke Zhen Guo's ingenuity.
It seems that Duke Zhen Guo has long since found a good escape route for the Shen family. Otherwise, why would Shen Xuan leave the family and join the navy, and then through the opening of the sea ban, the entire sea area will be shaken. The east is not bright and the west is bright, there is always a place where the imperial court and even the sage must rely on the Shen family.
Since Xie Mao pointed out this matter, there is no doubt that he must be the confidant of Duke Zhen Guo. Then why did he test him? Do you think he has come here to take on some important responsibilities
Luo Huaiyuan had been using Chen Yun's pseudonym, so Xie Mao didn't know his real identity.
All kinds of thoughts turned in his mind, Luo Huaiyuan smiled slightly: "Xie Shibo, don't think too much, in fact, there is no other thing for my little nephew this time. If you want to say yes, there are."
Xie Mao didn't change his expression and asked, "What?"
A bit of embarrassment appeared on Luo Huaiyuan's face, and he said: "Uh, what the hell, my little nephew guessed that the opening of the sea ban this time would be possible, so let's test the water first and see if I can earn a wife and go back."
Xie Mao almost didn't squirt the tea out of his mouth to earn his wife's money
He looked up and down at Luo Huaiyuan, since he was the son and nephew of the father-in-law, he should be a good man, why would he take the risk to come to such a place, er, to earn his wife's money
Of course, this kind of thought is only for a moment. Since you can know about the opening of the sea ban, and that kind of relationship, maybe it's not as simple as the surface
Being an official outside all the year round, Xie Mao has never understood the mind of an official better.
Fame, officials, and wealth.
But there are very few who can really achieve these points. If you have an official, you will get wealth, but this wealth depends on how you reach for it. If you accidentally lose your name, the official will naturally disappear.
If you want to make progress, you must give gifts to Shangfeng, not to mention gifts, boxing gifts, birthday gifts, etc., all of which have to be managed with money.
If you can sit in his position, or even in the position of Duke Zhen Guo, you will not be short of money, because someone will bring it up by himself. But this kind of wealth cannot be picked up casually, because it is often easy to pick up and difficult to digest.
Therefore, people with a status like them have more scruples than ordinary people, and even if they are fishing, they must be open and aboveboard.
This time Xie Mao knew that the opportunity was coming. The court was going to form the Fujian Naval Division. Shen Xuan was the commander-in-chief, and he was the Admiral of the Fujian Naval Division. It seems that the commander in charge of the Fujian Dusi has been delegated to a navy admiral, which is the so-called rise and fall. But when it was announced, there must have been a lot of jealous people.
Why did it take so long to open a sea ban meeting, saying that everything else is false, but that the distribution of benefits is not evenly distributed.
Now above the court, there are a group of civil servants torn apart every day in the court, and Duke Zhen Guo sits on the mountain to watch the tigers fight silently, but he has buried a few steps long ago.
No matter how many benefits, do you have military power? If you want to go out to sea for trade, you have to be protected by a navy. When you enter and leave the port, you have to pass under the nose of the navy. The whole sea area is under the control of the navy. But now that Daxi has banned the sea for more than a hundred years, there are still a few navy masters who can help, and the Chaohu navy master who happened to be where Shen Xuan stayed is the only one left.
Of course, all this is secret, even if someone knows it is tacit.
Then there is a question, how can we eat and look good without leaving traces. Sitting in such a position, many people are staring at you and grabbing your braids, and you can't come forward in person for many things.
Could it be that this junior came here just for this? Otherwise, how dare a few people wander around the territory of Fujian, and they obviously have handwritten books, but they don't come out until the time comes.
The two foxes, big and small, wanted to go to one place, but unfortunately there is a little bit of yin and yang in the middle.
Luo Huaiyuan took a sip of the tea in the cup with a relaxed attitude, "I wonder what Shibo thinks, after the opening of the sea ban, where will the money be the fastest?"
Xie Mao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Our Daxi's tea, silk, silk, porcelain, sugar, medicinal materials, etc., are very popular in other places."
Others don't understand the Daodao here, but Xie Mao, who has been operating in Fujian for decades, understands it. Otherwise, why would the interests of the maritime business group be blocked, and they turned their heads and colluded with the Fusang people to attack the inland
It's broken, but the trade route has been cut off. In order to force the court to open the sea ban, can smuggling be compared to doing business in an open and honest way
Of course not.
Of course, there is also domestic turmoil in Fusang. Many people cannot survive and are exiled to the Southeast China Sea. As a result, the rebellion of the small group of pirates is gradually uncontrollable, but in the final analysis, it is still driven by interests.
Luo Huaiyuan nodded slightly, "My little nephew sees that the territory of Fujian is very depressed. It is said that it used to be a famous Silk City. I don't know what is going on in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Songjiang today?"
Xie Mao's eyes flashed, "Suhang, Songjiang and other places are much better than ours here. Although there are pirates who make trouble, it is not serious."
"Yes, after all, these places are the areas where our Daxi economy is relatively prosperous."
Xie Mao sighed, "Actually, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places were also greatly affected, otherwise—"
He didn't finish the rest, but Luo Huaiyuan understood what he meant.
This part of Fujian is mostly mountainous, farming is not good, and it is located in the coastal area. Due to the sea ban, it is impossible to do business with other small countries, and the fishermen have also lost their way of survival by going to the sea. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the important towns in the south of the Yangtze River. If there are signs of burning to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the imperial court will not revisit the issue of the sea ban.
Presumably at this moment, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places will not be as relaxed as Xie Mao said.
Thinking of this, Luo Huaiyuan said, "My little nephew is here to say goodbye to Xie Shibo. My little nephew is going to go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places."
Xie Mao frowned, "Why do you have to be in such a hurry, this journey will definitely not be peaceful, why don't you wait for the bandits to calm down a little before setting off?"
Luo Huaiyuan smiled casually, "When the bandits subside, it will be too late for my little nephew to set off again."
"You are this?"
Luo Huaiyuan did not continue to practice Tai Chi, "My little nephew wants to go and see how the sericulture and raw silk in these places are now. Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places are mostly mulberries, and both the sea ban and pirates are affected, and the price of raw silk is inevitable. Very low. Seems cheap at the moment, but not in a few days.”
Xie Mao laughed and said, "Even if you buy raw silk aggressively, how much can you make?" He didn't care about the price difference.
"Then if my nephew has a new type of loom, which originally produced only one piece of silk and satin every four or five days, can the new loom shorten the time by half?"
"Is this true?!" Raw silk is worthless, but it is different when raw silk is woven into brocade.
Luo Huaiyuan just smiled but didn't answer, and said again: "If there is no accident, the results will come out around the end of the year, it's the autumn when the edict is issued, and after a winter, the foreign businessmen will flock to the beginning of the new year, the timing is not right, Even if there are silkworms and nothing to eat, they can’t spit out silk, if there is not a lot of raw silk to buy on the market, where do you think this silk satin silk comes from?”
Xie Mao's eyes lit up again and again, and said anxiously, "It is impossible for the weaving and dyeing bureau of the imperial court to be out of stock, as well as the major merchants in the south of the Yangtze River."
Luo Huaiyuan smiled casually: "My little nephew's ambitions are not too big. It's enough to make a small profit. Since we can get a glimpse of the opportunity, even if it is a windfall, it is not too little or too little."
It's not too little, but no one dislikes silver sticking hands.
Luo Huaiyuan's strength alone is weak, but what about himself? Although Fujian purchases raw silk from several places in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also many mulberry orchards locally.
A lot of things can't bear to think deeply, and then think about the new loom mentioned by Chen Shinephew, isn't it a lot of money in the future
I just knew that my husband sent such a kid, it's not that simple, and it really is!
"Since the nephew has come to my place, and the father-in-law has entrusted him, he naturally needs a lot of help. I don't know if the new loom mentioned by the nephew is true. Can it open the eyes of Shibo?"
Luo Huaiyuan showed a satisfied smile, "Of course you can, but it's inconvenient to carry on long journeys, so I only brought drawings, can Shibo find a craftsman who can be trusted by his nephew?"
"That's naturally no problem."
**
With a good start, the rest of the things will naturally not be difficult.
Xie Mao sent his confidants to accompany Luo Huaiyuan to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, buying raw silk from all over the country, even some cheap and inferior silks on the market.
During this period, Xie Mao sent a letter to the capital, and Duke Zhen Guo knew the whole story.
He had long known that the kid was not a simple one, but he didn't expect the action to be so big. The handwritten letter was obviously just some simple words of support, how could it develop into a misunderstanding for Xie Mao? However, Duke Zhen Guo also knew Xie Mao, and he was always scheming. Without a certain reason, he would not be able to get on the pole.
Looking at what was said in the letter, Duke Zhen Guo smiled bitterly, not to mention Xie Mao, even he couldn't help but be moved.
You must know that this is a business that can make a profit without losing money. Even if the timing is not so accurate, at the current price, if it is put on hold, it will at least double.
As I said earlier, no one will think that money will stick to your hands.
If there is a 20% profit, the capitalist will be ready to go; if there is a 50% profit, the capitalist will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, the capitalist will dare to risk hanging his head ; And if there is 300% profit, the capitalists dare to trample all the laws of the world.
What's more, it's not that serious, but if you put the money in and get it back after a while, it will increase many times over.
Luo Huaiyuan just put all his plans in front of people's eyes. It's up to you to choose whether you want to step in or not.
How did the Township Guild choose
As I said before, when Luo Huaiyuan went out of the palace to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the two families were inevitably involved. And this time, a large part of the reason why Luo Huaiyuan and Xie Mao got together is because of their own handwriting.
I have already kowtowed ninety-nine times, so why should I save this prayer
The Duke of Zhenguo sent someone to Fujian to send a box containing 200,000 taels of silver notes.
Luo Huaiyuan, who was in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, was even more like a duck to water, and he was supported by Xie Mao's people. The guards he brought this time were also carefully selected, and he was ready to help him in the future. Several waves of people acted separately and swept the raw silk on the market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Of course, it is not so easy to say, because there are pirates wandering around in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. Luo Huaiyuan and others have also encountered pirates several times. Fortunately, the people around them are not bad, Luo Huaiyuan himself would have been Boxing and Kung Fu, so there is no danger.
But of course it can't be compared with Mother Hui. Luo Huaiyuan only now knows why his little princess gave him this Mother Hui.
It turns out that he is really a martial arts master...
The first time I saw Hui Niang swept through a thousand troops, one person took care of more than 20 pirates, Luo Huaiyuan almost wanted to rush up and hug his thighs and call the master.
After that, he was indeed called by him. Who could stand his rubbing, thick-skinned and sweet-mouthed, Madam Hui had no choice but to teach him a few tricks, and then when he returned, she chased Yan Yan and called her senior sister. He even asked Yan Yan to call him little brother...
…
Enough is enough! Is there such a 'little' junior brother who has grown from a little fat man to a big fat man
Originally, the excitement of reuniting after a long absence was quickly worn down by this wretched guy. If the younger brother was still waiting for him to tell the story of fighting the pirates, Yan Yan really wanted to beat him.
In recent years, Yan Yan has grown up gradually, and her temper is much better than before. Surprisingly, after seeing a friend for a long time, he is so irritable.
Feeling the faint feeling of pain in the lower abdomen, Yan Yan leaned on the kang with a sullen expression. Luo Huaiyuan was talking to Yan Mo all the way, and couldn't help but glanced here.
"Elder Sister, are you not feeling well?"
Yan Yan couldn't help but glance at him, don't think she didn't know what he was thinking, just wanted to tease her to call him little brother.
Luo Huaiyuan rubbed his nose and smiled dryly, then he took out a box from the side.
"This is a bonus. I wanted to bring it along for a long time. I thought it was inconvenient, so I invested it as a capital. If there is no accident, this time the ship is back, and I can make a big profit."
Luo Huaiyuan's first expectations were not in vain.
When they were in the middle of the acquisition, many people who got the news also joined in. There are many large local merchants, and the price of raw silk has skyrocketed from the first low price, and the longer it is, the higher it is.
Luo Huaiyuan persisted for a while, and he stopped competing with others for the final share. When he saw it, he disappeared and turned back to Fujian to get his loom factory.
This idea has been brewing for a long time, even longer than the idea of skewers.
If you want to make money, if you want to make a lot of money, you can only grab the blank market. Daxi's domestic market share, many fields have been occupied by those businessmen who have accumulated over a century, trying to grab meat from people's mouths is no less than grabbing food from tigers' mouths. Of course, there will definitely not be fewer people stationed in the sea, because everyone knows that maritime trade is huge profits, and his only advantage is that he has a bit of a head start, and he has the blueprint of the loom in his hand.
Thank you for doing your homework seriously enough in the previous life. At that time, Luo Huaiyuan did a lot of research in order to write a historical novel through the Ming Dynasty. Including the hero's golden finger, in order to be able to convince the public and not let the research party pick on the thorns, he also studied it for a long time.
It is taken from the Toyota-style wooden manual loom with the highest efficiency in modern times. The principle of this loom is that the yarn can be inserted horizontally by pushing and pulling back and forth with one hand, which simplifies the complicated operation steps. The efficiency is naturally more than 70% higher than before.
Of course, there are more suitable hydraulic looms, but unfortunately Luo Huaiyuan did not study mechanical engineering, and the number of segments is not high enough, but that is enough, and hydraulic looms can be developed slowly in the future.
Then came a long preparation phase.
In October of the nineteenth year of Xiyuan, the imperial court issued an edict to lift the ban on the sea, and the coastal areas and other places held celebrations in the city.
The first port opened by the imperial court was Fuzhou Port in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and a Shi Ship Division was set up here. Several other seaside ports have not been opened, but everyone knows that it is just around the corner.
The pirates disappeared in Fujian, and a few scattered stragglers were also killed by the local guards one by one. The suffering and devastated Fujian has also begun to slowly recover.
In the spring of the following year, foreign businessmen from the Southeast China Sea flocked, lined up at the outer sea, and arrived at Fuzhou Port under the protection of the Fujian Navy.
As soon as you get off the boat, you are like a long-starved beggar rushing into the mountains and seas of delicacies.
No one will bargain at this moment. Daxi finally opened the sea ban. Who knows if the willful emperor of Daxi will change his temper again. Naturally, the more the better, the more good it is. bowl full.
This booming transaction lasted for a whole month, and merchant ships from other places continued to go to Fuzhou Port in an endless stream. However, there was nothing to sell on the market.
This situation not only shocked the officials of the local municipal shipping department, but also shocked Emperor Xi in the capital.
The small foreign businessmen were very satisfied, and the Daxi merchants who came to trade here were also very satisfied. Luo Huaiyuan, who made a fortune in silence, naturally made a lot of money.
…
With the first accumulation of funds, the rest will be better developed.
Luo Huaiyuan got on the line with Shen Xuan very early. Although Shen Xuan was always cold-faced and did not talk much with Luo Huaiyuan, he probably knew the relationship between them and gave Luo Huaiyuan a lot of convenience.
Luo Huaiyuan officially began to buy and sell, and after he gathered a large amount of money, he began to build merchant ships. Before he returned, two merchant ships had just entered the sea for Ryukyu and Siam, accompanied by a dozen other merchant ships, escorted by ships sent by the Fujian Navy. If there is no accident, when the merchant ships come back, everyone will make a lot of money.
Of course, the Fujian navy is not without benefits. According to the transaction volume, a certain share can be drawn from each merchant ship. It is said that this line is still led by Luo Huaiyuan.
Everyone is satisfied.
Merchants are satisfied with the safety of travel. After all, this is different from other seas, and there are pirates at sea. Fujian sailors are satisfied that there are benefits to take. After all, there are so many people up and down that it is common practice to eat meat on the head and drink soup below.
Everyone needs each other.
…
Yan Yan took the box and opened it to see.
She probably knew that she made a lot of money, but she didn't expect that it would be less than 6,000 taels in exchange for nearly 30,000 taels. You must know that this is only the dividend of this time. Luo Huaiyuan helped her to invest in the dividends of the previous business, and then she rolled more and more and made more and more books. Now the two merchant ships going into the sea and the goods on them, she and her brother accounted for half.
Don't underestimate this half, you must know that in the entire chain of interests, Duke Zhen Guo also accounted for 30%, Xie Mao accounted for 30%, Luo Huaiyuan accounted for 30%, and the remaining 10% were divided between Yan Yan and Shen Xuan.
Yan Yan looked at the big change Luo Xiaopang in front of her. Earlier, she was round, funny and cute, but now she is bigger. Luo Huaiyuan was tall and only fifteen years old this year, so he was about the same as an adult man. Coupled with a lot of flesh on the body, it will feel very space-consuming.
The eyebrows and eyes also grew, with a big fat face, round eyes, and a small dimple on the left cheek when he smiled. After going to the coast for so long, I haven't seen any tanning, but I'm still very white and tender.
She sighed a little in her heart, and anyone else had to sigh, which teenager could go out for a run and create such a foundation? Probably one of a kind.
"Then I will accept it." Yan Yan was not polite.
Yan'er came to tell that the madam asked for food, but Yan Yan didn't move and shook her hand, "You two go, I won't go, I'll go back and lie down for a while."
Luo Huaiyuan opened his mouth to ask, saw the sadness on Yan Yan's face, and closed his mouth again.
Yan Yan returned to Guiyan Pavilion, while Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Mo went to Jinhuatang.
On the way, Luo Huaiyuan secretly asked Yan Mo, "What's wrong with your sister?"
Yan Mo thought for a while before saying, "Sister has grown up."
He also listened to his mother.
