Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 397 Arabs want to grab food
When Yan Zhenzhi left, his mind was in a daze, and his whole body was as light as stepping on cotton. He couldn't figure out what Chen Yunfu wanted to do.

But having said that, why do I have to think about things I can't understand?

"Go and get the Arab here."

After sending Yan Zhenzhi away, Chen Yunfu remembered that Pu Shun was waiting outside the hall, so he sent someone to call him in.

"Pu Shun, a small man outside Fangwai, kowtows to Your Excellency the Grand Master of Shangguo."

This Pu Shun was quite sensible, he kowtowed as soon as he entered the Golden Palace, he bowed his head obediently to the ground without raising his head after three well-behaved noises.

Chen Yunfu came and asked him with interest: "Do you know who I am?"

"I know, Your Excellency the Grand Master of Shangguo."

"anything else?"

Pu Shun said respectfully: "It's still the father of the man who lent money to Guangzhou that day."

Chen Yunfu hummed and said angrily, "Since you know Benfu's identity, you still dare to trick Benfu's child. How many heads do you have to cut off?"

This Pu Shun is also a character, he was not afraid at all when he heard this remark, he bowed his head on the ground and replied: "If I don't do this, how can I have the opportunity to meet Your Excellency the Grand Master."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Neither of them talked about repaying the debt, Chen Yunfu laughed not only because Pu Shun knew current affairs, but also because Pu Shun had scheming plans.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"You said you wanted to see Bensuke wholeheartedly, tell me, what do you want to do when you see Bensuke?"

Pu Shun replied: "I heard that your country is at war, and war will inevitably require money. I have a little property, and I want to contribute it to your Excellency."

An Arab lending money to Ming to fight?
Does it sound fresh?

Chen Yunfu laughed, unable to tell whether it was contempt or joy, and said: "There is a saying in China that says there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no pie in the sky.

You said that you plan to spend money to support my Daming to fight the war, let’s not talk about your intentions, just one point, do you know how much money will be burned after a war. "

"The countries below are rich in gold. In addition, there are many, many gold and silver mines in Africa. The annual output is incalculable. I think it should be enough."

Chen Yunfu took a sip of tea: "You are really a smart person."

"I have been doing business in my family for generations. My grandfather's father was an official in your country when he was the emperor of your country."

Great Emperor?
That is Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty. His title in the West is the king of kings and the great emperor.

While killing Tianfang people, Lao Hu reused Tianfang people at the same time, I don't know what was going on in his brain.

The Dadu Imperial Palace in the Yuan Dynasty was designed and built by the Arabs.

"A businessman seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. If there is no profit, it will not be early. If you want to spend money to fight for our country, there must be a reason. What do you want?"

Pu Shun bowed and said, "I brought a map, which was left outside the hall, can I bring it in?"

A Jin Yiwei was sent to pick it up, and the two of them spread out, and Chen Yunfu narrowed his eyes.

This is a land and sea map of South Asia.

"Does your excellency know where this is?"

"The Delhi Sultanate can also be called India. We in China used to call it Tianzhu."

Seeing that Chen Yunfu recognized it, Pu Shun praised: "Your Excellency is really omniscient."

"Say something."

"Hundreds of years ago, a group of Turkic nobles fled to this land with their tribes. They formed an alliance of military nobles and soon conquered this land. They owned tens of millions of slaves and inexhaustible resources Exhausted gold, ore, and materials.

But in fact, this dynasty has become very corrupt and depraved, and the fleet here has a seaport for business, and is often exploited and demanded by the local people, and is bullied."

"You have a harbor here?"

"Yes." Pu Shun grinned, and clicked on the map with his hand: "In Maha, there is a fishing port below. Although it is not big, it is connected to Calcutta, and there are shallow seas nearby, so it is very convenient to expand."

Maha, Calcutta.

Isn't that the port of Mumbai for later generations?

Chen Yunfu clasped his hands in the sleeves of his robe, his eyes flashed brightly.

"go on."

"If you are interested, the seaport there will be expanded in the next two years, so that your country's army can easily enter it."

"what do you want."

"Slave!" Pu Shun put forward his request: "Every 50 taels of military expenses will be exchanged for a slave there. I think this price is very fair."

Chen Yunfu shook his head: "It's not your calculation, 50 taels of silver, of course you can buy a lot of slaves there, but there is an upper limit, you can buy hundreds or thousands of slaves at most.

No matter how rich you are, the many gold mines in Africa and Arabia are useless. The Delhi Sultanate will never sell you tens of thousands of slaves.

And when the war started, more than tens of millions of military expenses were burned. At your price, wouldn't my Ming Dynasty help you capture hundreds of thousands or even millions of slaves?

Therefore, 200 taels for a slave is a reasonable price. "

Pu Shun shook his head: "Your price is too expensive."

"It's not expensive at all, it's even very cheap." Chen Yunfu went down the stairs and stood side by side with Pu Shun in front of the map: "If you're just doing slave trading, it's impossible for you to need so many slaves, Europa. Locally, no country has the capacity to absorb millions of slaves.

What you want is probably to usurp power. "

"Send these slaves to Africa for militarized training, arm them, use them to subvert your Arab regime, you want to be king."

Chen Yunfu put one hand on Pushun's shoulder, and looked at Pushun with a smile: "I will pay for your ambition, and if you want to train troops, I can help you. We have many excellent generals in Ming Dynasty, and we maintain hundreds of thousands of troops. Food is a huge expense, and I have a lot of food, so I can sell it to you at a very low price."

Pu Shun didn't expect Chen Yunfu to guess his plan, he smiled after recovering from the shock.

"Your Excellency is indeed omniscient. Under your holy light, all the darkness in the world can be hidden. As your Excellency wishes, the deal is made."

"By the way, send some excellent shipbuilders and sailors to this assistant, and let's exchange more sailing experience."

Pu Shun instantly understood what Chen Yunfu meant.

The world is so big, let's share it together!

The happy Pu Shun nodded repeatedly, greedily like a never-ending gluttonous beast, and introduced to Chen Yunfu all the conditions of South Asian and Southeast Asian countries that he knew.

Chen Yunfu listened quietly, with a smile on his face.

Finally, Pu Shun finished speaking, and left this map of sea and land in South Asia to Chen Yunfu as a gift, and left happily.

Looking at this guy's back, Chen Yunfu sneered.

This thing that is not afraid of death actually wants to grab food from its own plate?
but.

People do their best.
