Chapter 65 No need for evidence (2)
"This is gold!"
Li Jinglong's heart thumped, and he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and took a sip.
"You have to hide any industry you need to do on weekdays, otherwise this censor will sue you and that civil servant will not do anything to you!"
"But if the freight is shipped here, it will be a huge deal!"
"I'm still exchanging gold!"
"Once the emperor knows this, he will definitely start a sea trade with him. At that time, those merchants flock to him, and the goods price may drop. Ships, cargo and sailors are easy to arrange, how to take the lead in the most difficult thing!"
Bang, when he thought of this, Li Jinglong slapped his thigh.
"When I go back, I will look for the old men, and each family will join forces to find the emperor to seek grace. Humph, who dares to compete with the Huaixi nobles and seek death!"
Thinking of this, he felt very happy and couldn't help but drink the wine in his glass.
"Ph!" The next second I was vomiting, "What's so bad!"
Seeing Li Jinglong's expression changing, his eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment and continued to speak, "Duke, not only is it rich in gold, but also ivory and gems, and fresh fruits everywhere. The natives almost never need to farm all year round. When they are hungry, they go to the sea to catch fish and go up trees to pick fruits. People in this area don't know what hunger is!"
Li Jinglong held the wine glass and said in his heart, "It's such a good place for them, it's really a blind man to light candles. Those gold, gems, ivory, cane sugar in their hands. The widow in the quilt sighed, it's useless for birds!"
"Everything else is easy to say!" Xu Chai continued, "Only this sugar! I will not hide it from the Duke of the State. If you use materials to process sugar here and then sell it to the Ming Dynasty, this is a treasure chest that will be eaten and used by future generations!"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong's eyes lit up.
Sucrose is good, not only profitable but also not eye-catching, but even if done well, it can also monopolize exclusively.
In the future, there will inevitably be a Ming army here. After Li Jinglong returned to Beijing, he made some moves and selected his former subordinates to come over. It is not convenient for a large business. After opening the sea trade, he hid at the sea. There is probably nothing like a piece of cloth and other heavy gold.
Sucrose can be sold not only in the Ming Dynasty, Korea, Myanmar, Laos, Japan, Tubo and even grasslands!
As he thought about it, Li Jinglong's eyes became brighter.
Wait, he immediately thought of something.
He closed his eyes and smiled slightly reservedly, and then asked, "As you said, since you are so easy to do, with your financial resources and connections in Luzon, it is not difficult?"
Li Jinglong is smart enough to be smart. Whether it is pies falling from the sky or something else, he must first ask to make sure he can eat it before eating it.
"The Duke of the State is joking. It's not that he doesn't want to have a sugar sugar farm. There are a few difficulties!" Xu Chai Lao did not hide it and said, "First, Luzon lacks sugar-making craftsmen, and even more lacks the secret recipe for making sugar!"
Indeed, all the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty settled their homes in the government and were not allowed to go out without the approval of the government. They all had to serve the government and the royal family. The craftsmanship system is indeed a bad policy, but sometimes it is useful.
As for those folk craftsmen, those who can make candy are like Buddhas worshipped by various merchants. Who can eat too much and go out to sea?
"Secondly, even if the sugar is shipped to Daming, this..."
"Say it!" Li Jinglong saw that the other party was speechless, and hurriedly spoke and urged him.
However, after he finished speaking, he also understood that if he was the guard of Qiu Ba on the coastal garrison and saw a ship with no cargo and unknown origin, his first reaction was not to report it, but to snatch it directly.
A ship of candy is worth a lot of money, and the brothers are so rich that they are so fat. If you meet those ruthless and ruthless people like old men, you will not only have to rob them but also kill people to dig a boat, and there will be no evidence to die.
Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, "Your Excellency has been doing business around the Ming Dynasty and Luzon for so many years, so it's nothing...?"
This is why the wise man will not say secret words. Who among them, the maritime merchants, has no support in the Ming Dynasty? Otherwise, how will the goods go ashore and how will they go to sea?
"I dare not hide it from the Duke of the State. The goods that villains do business are brought out and tickets are real. But no one dares to agree to the villain!"
This is where the key point is that he dare not sell it, and no one dares to let him sell it.
It is very difficult for Xu Chai Lao to find sugar-making craftsmen, say hello on the coast, and have the qualifications to sell sugar, but it is just a matter of one word for Li Jinglong. This is the difference between being rich and having power.
"Oh, wealth is touching, there are indeed more joints in it!" Li Jinglong nodded.
Merchants are all profit-oriented and dare to pursue profits. Xu Chai Lao knew very well that his big thigh was right in front of him. If he could hold on, his Xu family would have a bright future. If he missed it for nothing, he would have no place to buy medicine for regret.
"Duke!" After a glance at the native man who was still overjoyed by the Ming Dynasty's goods, Xu Chai Lao whispered, "The villain is brave, there is something that won't be happy if you don't vomit!"
"Here!" Li Jinglong was happy and said with a smile, "You and I hit it off at first sight, what can't you say? Don't think that I am a hereditary Duke, in fact, I like to make friends the most, and those who are rich in all walks of life and the poor are also friends. As a human being, the most important thing is to be open-minded and upright!"
"The Duke is unparalleled, the country is invincible, the villain is ashamed!" Xu Chailao smiled, "The villain is in Luzon, and there are thousands of acres of land, all of which are bought from the earth king. Most of them are sugarcane gardens, and the yield per mu of 1,300 kilograms of sugar should be a big problem..."
As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong.
"If the Duke is willing to politely politely..."
"I understand what you mean!" Li Jinglong was very difficult. "The craftsmen have some official matters, so I have to come forward. Is it yours?"
"Mr. Master, please understand!" Xu Chai Lao hurriedly said, "The villain businessman is born with a vulgar language. If there is nothing to say, please forgive me!"
"I am the duke who was ordered by the court to be inherited from the emperor. The court has strict orders for royal relatives not to do business!" Li Jinglong said seriously, "You really have a problem for me!"
Mr. Xu knew that the other party should have some more words.
"I heard you are the leader of Chinese businessmen here?" Li Jinglong suddenly changed his mind.
"A villain is not talented, it is recommended by everyone!" Xu Chai Lao was confused for a moment.
"Oh!" Li Jinglong nodded, "In the future, the Ming Dynasty and Luzon will have frequent exchanges, and there will be a lot of them when you need to use them!"
Xu Chai immediately understood and said hurriedly, "There are still several Chinese businessmen who have not arrived today. The villain will make the decision for them. In the future, the main master will speak, and the villain will only follow you!"
"You're so serious!" Li Jinglong smiled, holding the wine glass, and also looked at the earth king who was wearing silk on his body. "You said that these are trivial matters, and I must be humane. But, you also know that this is someone else's territory after all, and your workshop is open here..."
"Although this local king is a little greedy, he is not bad." Xu Chai continued to laugh, "The small profits of fly heads are enough to make a lot of money, and because of the Visayas, we should borrow more weight to us!"
Xie Jinzhong, who had been unable to touch the mouth, finally spoke, "The Misayas people are barbaric in nature, just like savages. They use tribes as their army and repeatedly attack and loot this place. There were several times if we hadn't been helping us desperately, I'm afraid that the royal city would have been broken!"
"The people of Visayas are equivalent to Tartars?" Li Jinglong thought about it and asked, "The local king here can't stop it?"
Xie Xu and the others nodded together, and Xu Chai Lao said, "Those Visayas live in the deep mountains and forests, with no ghosts and no arrows......"
