Chapter 101 Open the sea~~~

Zhao Hao didn't expect that he was not annoyed to collect the silk threads, but after collecting the silk threads, he was very annoyed to him.

Since Xue Lang took out the 20,000 taels of silver, he came to his house to report it almost every day. He didn't say anything about his free meal, but he also followed his butt all day long to ask when the price will rise, whether it will fall, when will the sea open, and whether it will not open? It made Zhao Hao's head have two big heads.

Later, when Tang Youde collected the silk threads and joined the free meal team. He betted almost all his funds and couldn't sleep or eat at home, so he simply came with Xuelang to harass Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was annoyed by the two of them, and he couldn't chase him away, and he had no place to hide. He also looked forward to good news as soon as possible to get himself freed as soon as possible.

Fortunately, within a few days, the carrier pigeons of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce brought news from the capital.

His Majesty the Emperor formally approved the memorial of the Fujian Governor Tu Zemin, the Censor of Fujian, to "please open a market and make it easy for private traffic to be public traffic", and ordered the Cabinet to work with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War to jointly formulate the detailed rules for opening the sea.

Once this news spread, the price of silk that had risen to more than one tael of ounces, and immediately doubled on the spot, reaching two taels and three cents of silver per pound of silk!

The market was immediately popular. In Nanjing alone, the number of raw silk sold every day was as high as 100,000 kilograms. In addition, Susongchang Town, Zhejiang and other places was countless.

Tang Youde has been doing business for half his life and has never experienced such an exciting situation. This is just a day when he earns more than 30,000 taels!

He was completely in a state of mania. No matter how much cold drinks he ate, he could not suppress his restless heart.

Even Xuelang was unwilling to eat, so he couldn't sleep at night. He came over with a pair of dark circles and asked Zhao Hao hissing: "Master Zhao, let's go and sell it!"

"No hurry." Only Zhao Hao was still not anxious or impatient, leaning lazily on the recliner, smiling at the two men who were sitting on pins and needles and said, "Wait a minute."

"Young Master, you can't wait..." Tang Youde was in chaos, so he still remembered that he had heard Zhao Hao's words at the beginning. Hearing this, he said anxiously: "I see that the new silk is about to be launched in the past few days. At that time, the price of silk is probably going to turn down!"

"This spring came too late, and the rain was very little." Zhao Hao shook his head slowly and said, "In previous years, spring silk was launched in mid-May. Now it's a month late. You haven't even seen any problems. Is there anything wrong?"

He had read relevant information and knew that the silk price changes before and after the Longqing switch. Another factor that pushed the silk price to a higher level was that the spring silkworms in the first year of Longqing had a large area without cocoon formation.

"Ah, the young master said..." Tang Youde was stunned, and then he remembered that when he went to Dangtu to collect silk, the heads of the society complained that the spring cold this year was too heavy and the rain was too little, which caused the mulberry trees to sprout for a long time. Therefore, it was better for the spring silkworms to form cocoons than normal year nights. It was precisely because of this reason that they were eager to sell silk to survive the spring famine.

He finally calmed down and said, "This year the spring silkworms may not have cocoons?"

"Yes, those who ship now are all those who take the opportunity to make a ticket." Zhao Hao nodded slowly and said, "As a real expert in this industry, not only will he not even give up a pound of silk, he will continue to buy it."

"That's it..." Tang Youde touched the hairline that was moving backwards and suddenly slapped his head: "Yes, the people who look at the warehouse say that these days, those who sell silk are those lay merchants! And those who buy silk are those big silk merchants and big merchants, just as the young master said!"

Tang Youde was very smart. In order to grasp the raw silk market in time, he arranged his shopkeeper to keep an eye on the Xu family warehouse in Bailuzhou. Whenever someone came to the warehouse to inspect and deliver goods, the shopkeeper would secretly record the identity of the buyer and seller, the unit price and number of the transactions for him and Zhao Hao to make a decision.

"Wait for two more days, the news can't be covered." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and said with a bad idea: "If you really can't sit still, let someone release the wind and see what the situation will be."

"Good idea!" Tang Youde's eyes lit up, and he ran home immediately and found someone to let the news.

Two days later, Tang Youde rushed to Zhao Hao's house, raised his thumbs up with both hands, and exclaimed: "Young master is really a god! As soon as the wind of spring silkworms not forming cocoons was released, the price of silk immediately stood at three taels per kilogram. And all day yesterday, there was no delivery in the Xu family warehouse!"

"This is natural. Now everyone knows that spring silkworms will no longer form cocoons, and the price of raw silk continues to rise," Zhao Hao stood up with a smile and said, "Who will take action at this time?"

"Yes, just a fool took action." Tang Youde hurriedly said with a slight interest.

Zhao Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he resisted the idea of ​​kicking him and said, "I can."

"Ah..." Tang Youde saw that he was flattering and slapped his horse's hooves, and immediately scratched his head awkwardly, and laughed: "Young Master is really unexpected..."

"I am greedy if others are afraid of me, but I am just greedy if others are afraid of me." Zhao Hao smiled and did not bother with him, so he ordered: "I will ship tomorrow, and don't even have a pound of silk left!"

"Ah, it will be shipped tomorrow?" Tang Youde said with a little distressed feeling: "From this situation, the price of silk will continue to rise."

"Money cannot be made, floating profits are not profits, and only by putting a bag in the pocket can we make peace." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "The price of silk is indeed still rising, but the more it goes up, the more sluggish the transaction will be. We say that it is more than 40,000 kilograms of silk is not much, and that is less. It is the most suitable to make it at this time."

"Yes, young master!" Tang Youde finally understood that even in business, Mr. Zhao was ten times better than him.

Nowadays, various silk merchants gather in Bailuzhou, which has brought great convenience to Zhao Hao and others in shipping.

Tang Youde spent two days contacting various businesses, and finally, Shengji Silk House, the top three in Jinling, and Tiansheng Weaving Industry, the largest in Huzhou, joined hands to eat all 41,000 kilograms of raw silk at a price of 3 taels per kilogram.

Today is the day of delivery.

It was of great importance, Zhao Hao specially brought thirty strong men to support Tang Youde.

He sat in the carriage and watched Tang Youde being surrounded by the shopkeepers of two businesses and entering the Wanyuan No. 1 in Bailuzhou. He couldn't help but sigh that this Bailuzhou integrates warehousing, transportation and finance, and has already taken the prototype of a future commodity trading center.

Alas, this Bailuzhou has been secretly cast in the hands of the Xu family. If it is handed over to itself, it will be able to carry forward it in less than a few years, and create all futures and securities...

Of course, I can only think about giving up at the moment. A trading center of this scale cannot be interfered with by him, a commoner.

It’s better to make more money.

Zhao Hao lay on his back in the carriage and said to Xuelang who was sitting beside him: "You might as well stop shaping a golden body for me, but you should discount it for me."

"Why is Mr. Zhao so vulgar?" Xue Lang widened his eyes and said, "If it were usual, no matter how much money you earn, you would never have been able to mold a golden body in Dabaoen Temple."

"People say they can pick up the bowl and eat, put down their chopsticks and curse." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "You haven't got the money yet, you're here again..."

"I don't want to say it." Xuelang didn't have the intention to quarrel today. He just hoped that Tang Youde would come back quickly so that he could make peace.

The two waited there for most of the day, and Tang Youde finally returned to the carriage under the protection of a group of strong men.

As soon as he got into the car, he took out a thick stack of tickets from his arms and shot them heavily in front of them!

"Go away, go share the money!"
