The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 661

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, the start of the Southern Tour was nothing more than a tour of mountains and rivers.

But in fact, it will have a huge impact on the situation in the entire Eurasian continent.

The news in the mansion newspaper quickly began to spread, and the ones who got the most attention were of course businessmen from all over the world, or maritime merchants.

This is an obvious signal from the court that it attaches great importance to Nanyang.

At this time, in the city of Nanjing, not long after Zhu Yuanzhang and others left, people from several families gathered together.

A large courtyard with three entrances, such a courtyard in the capital, has become a sky-high price, and the starting price is hundreds of thousands of coins.

This is inevitable in a market economy, and even Zhu Ying has no way to restrict it.

There are quite a few servants in the yard, and their meager wages are nothing compared to the house price.

In the house, the heads of the three major families met.

"As expected, I guessed correctly. The imperial court's intention was to annex the entire Nanyang and turn Nanyang into the back garden of the Ming Dynasty."

"Such an idea can only be found in His Royal Highness, and it will bring immeasurable benefits to our future industry."

Fang Ying said.

Nearly 40 years old, he has a pair of sharp eyes, but his skin is a bit dark, which is caused by his long-term experience at sea.

The Fang family was originally a small family, perhaps not even a family, but Fang Ying has a good eye. In recent years, by virtue of his analysis of the imperial court's policies, he has successfully obtained a lot of wealth, which can be regarded as a model of a true self-made man.

"Boss Fang's gaze has always been so unique, but the last time the grandson restricted the sale of land, Boss Fang must have lost a lot."

"If you spend so much money to fiddle with Nanyang's land this time, I don't know if it will be like last time."

There was some irony in Yuan Qing's tone, and he can't be blamed for that. He was persuaded by Fang Ying last time and invested a lot of money in the property, but now he has lost a lot of money.

Now Fang Ying encourages everyone to fiddle with Nanyang's land, which makes him a little uninterested.

Fang Ying looked at Yuan Qing, and didn't mean to be angry, but said: "I have lost a lot, and I have lost even more."

"But in the past few years, Mr. Yuan has been with me, and he has made a lot of money. Compared with the losses, it is only one-twelfth of ten. If not, I still want to stop Mr. Yuan from leaving?"

Hearing these words, Yuan Qing's face flashed a bit of shame and anger, but in the end he still didn't say a word.

As Fang Ying said, he has really made a lot of money by being with him in the past few years, and the family's assets have doubled several times. It is absolutely impossible to leave.

But he still muttered: "Back when you had no money, we, Yuan and Chen, invested in you, so that you had capital. Otherwise, how could you make so much money?"

Fang Ying snorted coldly when he heard this, and his mood obviously fluctuated: "It's just 10,000+ Guanbao notes. I always keep the kindness in my heart, so every time there is a chance to make money, I will pull you two together, Now you are telling me this, are you trying to polish off all this kindness?"

Fang Ying was really angry this time, he had already given enough in return to the Yuan and Chen families, including now.

If he is still not satisfied, then he will just go it alone.

Although such risks will become great.

"That's not necessary. It's just some small money. It's not worth breaking the relationship between our three families."

"Yuan Sheng, don't mention such things in the future, otherwise you will know what the consequences will be."

Chen Mu stepped forward to intervene and said that he was the oldest, already in his 50s, so naturally he had the highest prestige among the three.

"I lost my temper just now, listen to Mr. Chen." Yuan Qing said immediately.

Among the three families, the Chen family is a coastal family, and many matters related to sea trading are carried out by the Chen family.

If the relationship between the three companies breaks down, it will be difficult for Fang and Yuan to do business at sea.

When Fang Ying heard this, he also chose to expose what happened just now.

"Fang Sheng, you continue to talk about your thoughts. I have always supported you. There is no smooth sailing in business. It is a normal phenomenon to experience some losses. Besides, you can't blame all of this. Who knows? The court’s rectification efforts will be so great.”

"After the impact, Fang Sheng's reaction was already very fast, and he also recovered a lot of losses. This is enough."

Chen Mu said with certainty.

Fang Ying nodded slightly, and then said: "This is actually my problem. I know that the sale and purchase of property in Daming will definitely be interfered by the court, but I mistakenly thought that it will take a while before it will be carried out. I didn't expect the Taisun's rectification to come So fast."

"But this also made me understand a problem, that is, in the territory of Daming, no matter how high the profit is, it's better not to touch the transactions prohibited by the grandson, otherwise it will be rectified at some point, and there will be no rumors .”

After a slight pause, Fang Ying continued: "This time I am targeting the Nanyang industry, considering that His Majesty's southern tour will definitely drive the development of Nanyang on a large scale."

"In the Nanyang trade, those rare goods have no advantage for us. The only direction is the grain industry."

"It can't be done in Daming, but in Nanyang, no one cares about it. As long as we buy enough land first, we will definitely be able to produce a lot of food."

"The growth of grain is a stable business. Don't look at the high-yield crops in Ming Dynasty. In fact, there is a huge shortage of grain. Even if you can't stock up on grain and sell it, even if it is at a par price, it will be a long-term stable income for the three of us. .”

"The most important thing is that if a disaster occurs in Ming Dynasty and the grain production is reduced, the three of us can definitely donate the grain to the imperial court and make meritorious service, even if it is a small title, it will be a great achievement for us three. It is also a great honor.”

"Not only can you get rid of your identity as a merchant, but you can also gain the approval of the imperial court and gain enough advantages in the business at sea."

"Conversely, even if it doesn't meet what I said above, it has never been seen that the influx of a large number of Han Chinese into Nanyang will inevitably cause the price of land to rise. The land we hoard can also be sold at a high price."

"No matter from which aspect, they are completely invincible."

Fang Ying believed in his own analysis this time, and he had already targeted Nanyang's grain industry.

In fact, the reason why Daming wanted to hoard land property, even if it was against the grandson’s intention, knowing that there might be problems and still doing it, was to earn more capital.

Unfortunately, in the end, not only did not make any money, but also lost a lot.

"The meaning of Fang Sheng is that this time he is going to invest a lot."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

Yuan Qing also turned his head to look at Fang Ying, wanting to see how much he invested this time.

Fang Ying smiled lightly, and said, "My property in the capital should be sold off in a few days. My family is not that big, and it's only a dozen or so. This time, they will all migrate to Champa with me. go."

Yuan Qing said in disbelief: "You are crazy, you actually want to move your family to Champa, do you want to give up all of Daming's property?"

There was a bit of surprise in Chen Mu's eyes.

The main reason is that Fang Ying played too much this time.

Even the property in the capital is going to be sold. Is this going to be a gamble with all your wealth?
Fang Ying cupped his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I have already followed His Royal Highness King Wu's path, and this time I will go to Wucheng."

"When King Wu first arrived in Zhancheng, he was short of manpower. It is a good time to send charcoal in the snow. I have thought clearly this time."

"Although Wucheng is far away from Daming, the residence newspaper also read that His Majesty is still going to occupy the city during his southern tour, which shows that in His Majesty's heart, His Royal Highness King Wu is still there, so the future development of Wucheng will definitely be supported by Daming. .”

Fang Ying sighed softly: "The capital is good, and its prosperity is like a dream. The changes in just a few years are already beyond the imagination of the world."

"There are many opportunities to make money here, and you can make a lot of money by doing a small business, but these are not what I want."

"The capital where dragons and tigers dominate is not my place to succeed. It doesn't matter how much money I earn. Without an official status, I am just a businessman after all."

"I am Ming, but the most indispensable thing is businessmen."

"Aren't there too many big businessmen in the capital? But in the eyes of those nobles, it's nothing. We're lucky. When we meet a good time, it's okay to do small business, but we don't even have the qualifications to enter the big business." .”

"Now the only chance is to go out."

"I don't force the two of you to come with me, but for me, going to Champa is the last chance. If the two of you are willing, then you can also invest some money and do the grain business in Nanyang together."

"Let me say it first. If there is a day when Ming Dynasty rules Nanyang, the grain business will definitely be in the hands of the officials in the end, just like the current Ming Dynasty. What I said is only during this period of time."

"I can't guarantee how long we can do it, but it should be no problem for more than ten years."

This can be regarded as Fang Ying said the words directly.

He clearly analyzed that once the Ming Dynasty ruled Nanyang, grain trading would definitely be impossible, but at that time, he believed that he would definitely find a better trading channel.

Originally, he hadn't made such a decision, but this time His Majesty's southern tour really strengthened his mind.

Yuan Qing and Chen Mu were silent for a long time after listening.

They are not like Fang Ying, the head of the family can make the decision by himself, let alone relocate the whole family.

After all, their roots in Daming are already very deep, so there is no need for this risk.

Seeing the attitudes of the two companies, Fang Ying already understood that Nanyang probably wouldn't invest too much this time.

The food industry is not profiteering, and it does not match their future earnings.

This meeting was actually a farewell for Fang Ying.

And the two of them couldn't have imagined that Fangying, who seems to be insignificant now, would become a food master in Champa just a few years later, and by virtue of this, he had obtained the official status he dreamed of, and even gained a huge family fortune in Champa. .

It wasn't just Fang Ying who saw it, Zhu Ying's signal was already very clear.

Others would naturally not say that Fang Ying was as desperate as Fang Ying, but investing in Nanyang's industry has become inevitable.

And among them, the biggest players above the sea trade are not the big maritime merchant families of Ming Dynasty, but the four great feudal lords who are far away in the country of Japan.

After possessing a huge wealth, because he did not get the permission of the imperial court, he could not provoke a war with the Japanese country, so he could only occupy the Kyushu Island.

Obviously, the four vassal kings must not be reconciled.

No matter if it is Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, or Zhu Di, they all have great ambitions, but now they are restricted to Kyushu Island, Japan, and they must find a way to break the situation.

The key to breaking the game can only be in maritime trade.

Yancheng, Kyushu Island.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Yihua with some displeasure, and asked, "What about Nizi?"

Not long ago, Zhu Di sent a letter to Zhu Gaochi through sea trade, asking Zhu Gaochi to support Zhu Di's sea trade business.

After all, although Zhu Gaochi is not in charge of Annan now, he definitely has a lot of power in Annan.

As long as Zhu Gaochi cooperates with Zhu Di and the two sides interact in maritime trade, huge profits will inevitably be generated.

In the middle of Wa Kingdom and Annan, there is such a dumping ground as Ming Dynasty, and with the name of an overseas vassal king, it should not be too easy to get money.

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Xu Yihua said with some displeasure; "My lord, Chi'er is already called the son of the eldest son. It's not a good name."

Zhu Di turned his head slightly, as if he didn't hear it.

The address of the rebellious son is an old habit.

In any case, Zhu Di didn't like his eldest son very much in his heart, and in recent years, his two second sons had always been by his side to fight in the north and south, and the eldest son was rarely seen, so naturally there would be differences in feelings.

"Chi'er wrote in the letter that everything will follow the arrangement of the lord, and at the same time, I will also say hello to the lord. I have not seen him for so many years, and I miss the lord very much." Xu Yihua said.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Hypocrisy, he still misses me? Doesn't he hope that I will die early so that he can inherit the throne of King Yan?"

"You wrote back and you made it clear to him, don't worry about this family property, just give him a name."

Xu Yihua looked at the two younger sons who looked happy, but did not refute Zhu Di.

She knew that this was for the two second sons.

As for Gao Chi, no one ever thought about his own business.

Annan, who is in charge now, if he is greedy for money, the property under his command is no less than the current prince.

"Usually, the lord would say that Chi'er didn't write, that he didn't have a lord in his heart."

"Let's write now, the prince said that Chi'er is hypocritical."

"It all came out of my stomach. Why is the prince so prejudiced? Even if he can't fight the enemy, he is still the son of the prince and the eldest son of Yan Palace."

Xu Yihua couldn't help complaining a few words.

Hearing this, Zhu Di felt that he couldn't keep his face, so he said impatiently: "It's alright, alright, that's it, even if he is sensible and obedient."

Then he gave instructions to his second son Zhu Gaoxu: "You pass the news to your uncles tomorrow, and tell them that we can now start business with Nanyang Sea Trade."

Trade in Nanyang is currently a matter that the four vassals attach great importance to.

Not only trade, but more importantly, private soldiers stationed in Luzon.

And Annan is here, which is a key place.
