please make me king

The sky has heaven and earth, and the earth has yin and yang, so mountains, rivers and objects are not the same. "Zhang Shun stood on the high platform, talking eloquently.

"Dan lacquer feathers from Long and Shu, leather and bone elephants from Jing and Yang, nanzi bamboo arrows from Jiangnan, fish, salt and fur from Yan and Qi, and lacquered silk rice paddies from Yan and Henan. Each has its own production."

"So the sages use them as boats to connect rivers and valleys, serve cattle and drive horses, and reach Linglu; they go far and poor, so they hand over the common goods and benefit the people."

"Nowadays, a huge ship has come out, and its cargo can exceed a million catties; it can travel thousands of miles in a month's time. These are beyond the reach of vehicles and horses, and manpower cannot reach them!"

"There is no communication between Europe and China for [-] miles since ancient times, but now it has been connected for more than [-] years, because of the great prosperity of ships."

"In the past, with the prosperity of cars and boats, goods flowed from all directions, and the nine states were unified. Today's prosperity of giant ships should be similar to that of the past. It should be that goods are colonized all over the world and the four continents are unified."

"I know that this is not an overnight achievement, nor is it the power of a family or a country, nor is it the benefit of a generation."

"I would like to work together with my Chinese descendants to open up the world and share its benefits."

As soon as Zhang Shun said this, all the merchants and sea merchants who sat down immediately, including Sun Kewang, Zheng Zhilong, etc., were in an uproar, chatting and whispering one after another.

After the original from Hangzhou was assassinated, Zhang Shun dispatched Li Zicheng to lead the army, and at the same time sent people to arrest Yuan Yingtian governor Zhang Guowei, but there was no news for a while.

However, during this period of time, through the full cooperation of Huang Shoucai, Zhao Lizi, Zheng Zhilong and others, the smuggling points in the Zhoushan Islands were basically eliminated.

A total of more than 37 pirates, large and small, were killed, more than 73 pirates and smugglers were captured, 33 Japanese pirates, red-haired fans, and Frangji were captured, and [-] large and small ships were captured. Raw silk, silk, tea, medicinal materials, Porcelain worth more than [-] taels, [-] smuggling dens were destroyed, including more than [-] merchants and maritime merchants involved in the case.

After this battle, the rampant smuggling activities along the coast of Ningbo were basically eliminated, and a large number of goods and ships could no longer sneak out to sea.

Therefore, those merchants and maritime merchants had to beg to come to their door, crying and shouting to participate in the maritime trade conference organized by the imperial court.

According to their thinking, Zhang Shun did this just to share their interests.

Winner and loser, since it fell into his hands this time, he can only cut the flesh.

However, when Zhang Shun opened his mouth, they realized that they had made a big mistake.

This guy is interested in that little profit, and he has set his sights on the whole overseas.

Even some people with political literacy vaguely remembered a sentence: "Under the whole world, there is no king's land. On the shore of the land, are there no king's subjects!"

If it is done properly, the cooperation between the "government and the people" may not be able to restore the grand scene of the first two weeks.

Businessmen talk about profits and are not interested in these grand narratives.However, this does not prevent them from estimating the benefits.

But from the perspective of Dengzhou's trade with North Korea and Japan, the annual profit should be in the millions.

This one million taels of silver has attracted many heroes from Dongjiang Town, Liaodong Town and Denglai Town to covet it, killed so many people for it, and attracted so many heroes to bow down for it.

Not to mention the southeastern coastal area that trades with Japan, Luzon, and Southeast Asia, the annual net profit ranges from several million taels.

It also attracted many fighting games among Japan, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, various sea routes, and officials.

Now that the change of dynasty is imminent, Zhang Shun, the "new emperor" who is about to ascend the throne, not only does not oppose maritime trade, but also vigorously develops maritime trade, and is ready to expand him further and deeper. How can this not make people crazy.

Today, only trade with North Korea, Japan, Luzon and Southeast Asia is so profitable.

If it is extended to Tianzhu, Dashi, Europa, North and South America and other places, what kind of wealth will it be?
Thinking of this, these people couldn't help but turn their eyes red. They wished they could take their goods to sea, cross the ocean, and return in exchange for gold and silver.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Zhang Shun couldn't help clamoring loudly: "Since Nuwa created man, for thousands of years, he can only walk on two legs, rely on shoulders and hands to resist transportation, and can only trade near his residence. This can be called ' Proximity era'."

"Since people tamed livestock and sages made carts, people can travel thousands of miles and trade on the roads. This is how Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions in the past. This can be called the 'Continent Era'."

"Nowadays, huge ships can sail all over the world, which is a hundred times better than cars. People can sail through the sea and sail around the world. I call it the 'Great Navigation Era'."

"In the past, the carts were prospered. Our Chinese people lived on the Xia and Shang Zhous and colonized Kyushu. Today, we have the land of two capitals and 13 provinces."

"Today's world, just like that day, seems to be colonizing people without me, and people colonize me, with no exceptions. I am a dignified descendant of Yan and Huang, sons and daughters of China, how can I colonize humans?"

"Today, Italy, Ezepania, Helan and other countries can come to our country, look at my reality, and make my profits. I can't go to their countries and make their profits. This is a serious problem for the country."

"The imperial court wants to imitate its long-term skills, build a large ocean-going navy, protect our merchants, and colonize the world. However, the country has limited taxes and cannot afford it!"

"Today I am a merchant, raising silkworms, reeling silk, and weaving brocade; kneading soil to make embryos, firing them into porcelain; watering and irrigating, picking and manufacturing tea, but asking for silver, and then buying food and clothes, but there is no market. .”

"Nowadays, I am a sea merchant, braving the wind and waves, crossing the ocean, seeking ten times the benefits. But being made things difficult for no reason by the natives, or robbing their property, or hurting their lives, it is really hateful!"

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why!"

Zhang Shun asked questions three times in a row, each sentence became louder and louder, each time his emotions became more intense, it was deafening, and everyone's hearts trembled.

"We are willing to follow Your Highness and work together to colonize the world!" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, someone couldn't hold back and responded loudly.

"Work together, colonize the world! Work together, colonize the world!" Someone raised the head, and naturally someone followed suit, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"Okay, let's work together to colonize the world!" Zhang Shun quickly answered loudly.

Everyone yelled in unison, their faces were rosy, and their spirits were high, as if they had just eaten a pot of Shiquan Dabu pills.

Zhang Shun saw that "the people's hearts are available", so he said with a smile: "In this case, then the king will make a rule and discuss it with everyone."

"Where goods go to sea, and merchant ships go to sea, the imperial court will collect [-] taxes, and the right will be used for the construction of maritime naval forces."

"The collection and use of taxes must be reported to the members of the Maritime Trade Conference on a regular basis, so as to reassure everyone and facilitate everyone's supervision. I don't know?"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhang Shun's words, and they couldn't help saying, "How did this happen? How dare we supervise the emperor?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun laughed and said: "My king can only eat three meals, and his clothes are only five feet long. Even if there are delicacies from mountains and seas, and beautiful concubines, how much can I spend?"

"This is not to ask you to supervise this king, but to ask you to supervise the lawless people for me, and make a profit from it!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, King Shun alone is the master!" After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Secondly, the amount of goods produced by the merchants varies. If there are too many, it will be unsalable, and if there are few, there will be a shortage, which will affect the cooperation between the two parties."

"My king proposes that marine merchants can place orders with merchants in advance, and only need to pay a part of the deposit to order the goods, so as to avoid the risk of varying quantities and fluctuating prices. What do you think?"

"Okay, this is good, we have no objection!" Everyone laughed without clapping their hands, and said one after another, "It turns out that His Highness is a knowledgeable person!"

"Third, when maritime merchants go out to sea, they are often in danger of going bankrupt if they encounter storms or pirates. Buying goods takes up a lot of money, and there is also the risk of a shortage of funds."

"This king wants to set up a bank, called Haimao Bank. One is in charge of insurance, and the other is in charge of lending. I don't know if it's possible to help everyone?"

"We all understand this loan, but what kind of business is this insurance?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and hurriedly asked.

"Insurance means protection!" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "Every vessel that goes out to sea must pay a certain amount of insurance premium before leaving, just in case."

"If you are really in danger, the bank can pay compensation according to the insured amount."

"For example, if you go overseas and buy accident insurance of 100 million yuan, once an accident occurs, the bank will settle the claim."

"Of course, in order to prevent fraudulent claims at sea, relevant certificates must be provided."

"Okay, this is good!" Everyone couldn't help but answer after hearing the words.

Of course, there were also some shrewd people who quickly asked about how to set up the bank.

Zhang Shun had a secret about this for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing: "This matter is what the king cares about: the initial investment of this bank is 1000 million taels of silver, of which [-]% is contributed by the imperial court, [-]% by sea merchants, [-]% by merchants, and the remaining [-]%. It will be funded by retail investors."

"The profits earned every year are also distributed by the bank according to the proportion of capital contribution. What do you think?"

"Okay, this is good!" Some risk-averse businessmen who like to seek stability couldn't help but said, "I don't know how Your Highness divides the shares?"

"1 taels per share, a total of [-] shares, what do you all think?" Zhang Shun hesitated for a while before asking.

"Okay, so the old man subscribes for two shares first!" Someone shouted.

It doesn't matter if he yelled, someone suddenly remembered that the number of seats was limited, and couldn't help but yelled.

Zhang Shun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly comforted everyone, saying: "Everyone, don't argue, leave your name and intention first, and discuss this matter later!"
