Chapter 982 The old lady wants to take Qiao again

The novel "Overseas Founding", which was very popular in Beijing, has come to an abrupt end!

Many audience members were quite dissatisfied, and they still had some unfinished thoughts.

The pig's trotters established a country overseas so easily, which surprised the audience and made them feel unreal and ridiculous.

But if you think about it carefully, it's really the case.

Regardless of the size of the overseas vassal states, if they are willing to defect to them, the Central Plains Dynasty has no reason to refuse them.

Not to mention, when Pig's Foot defected to the Nanming court, the size of the islands it controlled and the population in the South China Sea were not small.

Coupled with his understanding of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he led his men, horses and people to successfully become a vassal state recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty. It was really normal.

However, after Pig's Foot successfully became the leader of a country, there was no explanation of how the country would develop and to what extent it would develop, which was very unpleasant.

In the opinion of the audience, does this novel still have a lot to write about?

In addition, some readers are very curious, did such a country really exist overseas during the Nanming Dynasty?

As a result, I checked to find out if there was energy in the audience, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed there.

However, this island country in the outer sea was not created by pig's feet. It existed as early as the pre-Ming Dynasty. It was one of the vassal states of the pre-Ming Dynasty.

However, according to vague records, this island country was indeed founded by people from the Central Plains who went to sea, but it was destroyed at the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

As for the specific situation, it's not clear.

Even so, when the news came out, it still caused a sensation.

With the Xue family's business network helping to sell books, the novel "Overseas Jianguo" soon spread to most prosperous cities and towns across the world.

In the case of successive natural disasters in the north and south, if you still have leisure time and money to listen to books, you must have certain financial strength.

At this time in Daqian, the urban burgher class had developed to a certain extent.

Pastimes such as novels are naturally more popular in bustling towns and can sell more.

Of course, neither the Xue family, who help distribute the book nationwide, nor Jia Rong, the author himself, value the profits earned from selling books, but rather the influence of the novel.

It can only be said that at a time when entertainment methods are scarce, the novels written by Jia Rong Majia have basically achieved the ultimate goal that Jia Rong wanted to achieve, not to mention the wonderful plots that have spread all over the country.

From north to south, many families and forces that feel they have strength are already ready to join the maritime trade ranks due to the influence of the plot of the novel.

The fastest mover is undoubtedly the Founding Group with Jinmen Port as its base.

Through Jia Rong's guidance and his own exploration, when the novel "Overseas Founding" became popular, he had successfully arrived at the coast of Japan and successfully completed the first transaction after a fight.

By the end of the novel, the fleet that arrived at the coast of Japan also returned successfully, and what they brought back instantly detonated the entire capital.

Not to mention the large amount of silver, many specialties with Japanese characteristics such as the capital attracted great attention from the powerful and wealthy merchants in the capital.

Even nowadays, there is so much interest.

Don’t forget that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already participated in the Jinmen Port.

Naturally, there were people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the ship heading to explore the route to Japan. They didn't know everything about the situation inside, but they knew it in detail.

After learning about the fleet's harvest through the channels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he immediately lost his composure.

One hundred thousand taels!

Damn, I just went to Japan and made so much money.

Then if I make more trips, wouldn't I be able to earn millions of taels a year?

Don’t doubt that today’s arithmetic abilities are normal and there are no miscalculations.

The fleet size and cargo can both be increased.

Because the main purpose of this exploration fleet was to explore routes, the quantity and quality of the cargo they carried were average. Even so, they made such an astonishing profit.

If it is fully loaded with goods, and they are all high-quality products from Daqian, wouldn't the profits take off completely?

Now I am so excited that I am jealous, and I even want to take the majority. Of course, I just think about it, and it is impossible at the moment.

The Founding Group is not a soft persimmon. Not only is it rich and powerful, it also controls part of the army. It does not dare to push too hard now.

However, the cabinet should be very active in establishing a municipal shipping department in Tianjin Port!

In just a moment, I had a pretty bad idea.

The dignitaries in Beijing have also started to think about it. They just want to get on board the ship of the Founding Group, but not everyone can do it.

Of course, they have other options. Jinmen Port cannot be penetrated, and there are many places along the northern coast suitable for building ports.

In addition, it was through alliance with the maritime merchants in the south that they went to sea to make a fortune together.

What, you said that the southern maritime merchants are not willing to take them to play?

Haha, do you know what it means to be forced by power?

Those big families on the southeast coast are difficult to deal with, but small and medium-sized maritime merchants still dare to assassinate them?

I heard that the novel "Overseas Founding" written by Jia Rong was banned in the southeastern coastal areas.

So awesome!

But this is more solid. The wealthy families on the southeastern coast have made huge profits from maritime trade. Otherwise, it is just a novel, so why should we pay too much attention to it?

To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is similar to "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".

They also heard that the wealthy families in the south had begun to take action and put great pressure on the wealthy families on the southeast coast.

It's a normal operation. If they were in the south, they would do the same thing.

Are you kidding me? The powerful families in the south are so powerful. The Daqian Dynasty has their tentacles everywhere.

Especially when it comes to interests, they are quite active and enthusiastic.

For example, the Grand Canal, private salt sales, and trade between the north and the south, etc., the aristocratic families of the south are everywhere.

Who would have known that the big clans along the southeast coast were still hiding the incredibly profitable maritime trade from them.

In the past, it was not that the wealthy families in the south had never heard of making money from sea trade, but there was no definite information, and coupled with the fear of the unknown ocean, they naturally did not dare to take random risks.

Now, they will definitely participate and take the big prize!

Daqian's world is the world of aristocratic families and gentry groups. The rich families on the southeast coast are not big enough to make people dare not invade.

It can be said that Jia Rong caused a stir in Daqian with a novel.

Although he himself was still living a normal life, the other big bosses of the four major families in Jinling could not sit still.

The content of the novel "Overseas Founding" revealed a lot of information, which made them both excited and shocked.

I really don’t understand why Jia Rong wrote such a novel?

Knowing so many secrets of the open sea, as long as the operation is done properly, the benefits that can be obtained are all over the sea, why not hide the secrets?

Also, Jia Rong has never been willing to be an official. Does he really have the idea of ​​going overseas to work hard and achieve a great career?

In short, there are too many confusions in my heart, and Jia Rong needs to solve them.

Otherwise, I won't be able to do things safely in the future, and I really can't figure out what this big boss is thinking, so that won't work.

It just so happened that the old lady of Rongfu planned to hold a family banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th to invite the four big family members of Jinling to come over to have a feast and watch a show. It was a lively event.

After some communication between Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou, they readily agreed and planned to ask questions during the meal.

As for the Xue family, they have no say at all and can only follow the footsteps of the other three families.

The reason why it is so troublesome is that there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, where is the status and status, private gatherings can easily cause unnecessary trouble, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible.

It's good now, it's convenient for the old lady of Rong Mansion.

It's not that the old lady knows anything and is deliberately accommodating personal feelings. In fact, the old lady just wants to establish a relationship and show off.

This year is definitely full of happy events for Rongfu.

The main ones are brothers Lian Er and Jia Zhu. They have both been promoted in the officialdom. One is Jinmen Taotai and the other is Tongzhou magistrate. Among the juniors of the four major families in Jinling, they are definitely the first to stand out.

As for Jia Rong, it is obviously not within the reference range.

The novel "Overseas Founding" written by Jia Rong Majia is so famous and popular that the old lady naturally heard about it immediately.

But I didn’t have any feelings or excessive associations.

For her, life at the moment is quite comfortable, and she has no ambitions, so naturally she won't venture out to sea.

As long as the glory and wealth of Rong Mansion can continue, she has no intention of paying too much attention to other things.

Of course, there are still some considerations.

She thought, since among the next generations of the four major Jinling families, only the Rongfu children performed well, should the Rongfu regain control of the four major Jinling families in the future?

At the very least, the right to speak needs to be strengthened, right?

Otherwise, with the old lady's usual preferences, how could she invite the other big shots to her home?

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, it is not something to be done like this.
