Chapter 902: Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to be found
Hundreds of thousands of taels a year...
Oh……
Chen Kaizhi even didn't believe that the Yang Family Hai Trade business was only hundreds of thousands of taels a year.
Over the past two hundred years, the Yang family has directly reached the monopoly of maritime trade with Yang Lin two hundred years ago, and has achieved the monopoly of maritime trade under the pretext of the rampant Japanese pirates and the inability to record maritime business projects. This is equivalent to having the pricing power of Dachen's import and export goods. This huge profit is simply unimaginable.
Maritime trade can be said to be very profitable, and the Yang family should make countless money.
These hundreds of thousands of taels are just the tip of the iceberg. Only geniuses know how much wealth they have accumulated over the past two hundred years.
In this way, countless things can be explained. The reason why the Yang family can give up the Yang family in Guanzhong without hesitation is that in a sense, the huge family that Guanzhong has worked hard to run is because their roots have long been transferred from Guanzhong to overseas.
Even the Yang family in Guanzhong is just a cover.
Even... the Japanese pirates who have been raging over the years...
Chen Kaizhi suddenly stood up and couldn't help asking: "I remember, which country is the most rampant Japanese pirates?"
Chen Yishou subconsciously said: "Beiyan."
Chen Kaizhi frowned, and a faint deepness flashed through his clear eyes. Then he slowly spoke: "If it is to say that wealth, Da Chen, Nanyue and even Nanchu are more valuable, but why is it the Northern Yan? Chen Qing family, I remember that Wu and Chu countries also have different levels of maritime ban plans at the same time."
"Yes." Chen Yishou nodded: "Most of them only allow official ships to trade tribute, and communicate with each other. However, civil ships are not allowed to go into the sea."
Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes: "I understand that the reason why the Northern Yan was ravaged by Japanese pirates is not that the Northern Yan people are better plundering, or in other words, the Japanese can get what benefits from the Northern Yan people. But... the sea ban..."
Chen Kaizhi continued: "The maritime merchants of all countries are not allowed to go out to sea, but the people of Beiyan can do it. What will happen? This will lead to many specialties of Dachen that may be secretly sent to Beiyan and then go out to sea through Beiyan. In order to prevent the maritime merchants of Beiyan from going out to sea, they will compete with the Yang family. The only way is to pirates. Think about it, even if the maritime merchants of Beiyan can set sail and go out to sea, once they encounter pirates, they will rob them all. So, will the maritime merchants still dare to go out to sea? Even if they dare, the Japanese pirates have been rampant for a long time, in order to ban Japanese pirates and prevent people from engaging in Japanese, the people of Beiyan will also ban the sea sooner or later, so..."
Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel terrible, and words burst out from the gaps of his teeth.
"This is a strategy that is impossible. Their purpose is not to plunder. The so-called Japanese pirate problem is just the surface, and the real essence of the problem lies in monopoly. From this, we can conclude that the Yang family has great power overseas. At least, they can control Japanese pirates, so it is no wonder that Fujiwara will be the candidate for the prince."
Chen Yishou's face changed, and his eyes showed horror.
In fact, Chen Yishou was afraid that he could not think of these things because he wanted to break his head.
Of course, this is not because Chen Yishou is not smart enough, but because of his vision.
In his heart, he didn't know the concept of maritime trade, nor did he know that it was a profitable industry.
The reason why Chen Kaizhi can deduce it from this is because he was a human being in two lives and knew better how huge profits would be born on this sea. He has countless experiences in another world, which Chen Yishou did not have.
Chen Yishou was shocked and said anxiously.
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be as Your Majesty said that Yang's family has long become a major concern overseas. If they were allowed to manipulate it like this..."
Chen Kaiyi smiled and nodded at Chen Yishou.
"Yes, this is what I am worried about, because I started a trade in Jibei and will sooner or later involve shipping in the future. If not, all the previous efforts will be wasted in Jibei." He brows were deep, his eyes became deeper, and he murmured.
"It seems that I still underestimated this Grand Duke Yang."
"First of all..." Chen Yishou saw that Chen Kaizhi seemed to be thinking, and couldn't help but speak lightly, but as soon as he spoke, he paused again before continuing.
"We must find out the details of the Japanese, but... Da Chen Hai banned for so many years..."
Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "There is a way."
Chen Yishou was stunned, looking stunned.
Chen Kaizhi laughed at Chen Yishou: "Serious salt!"
"Serious salt?" Chen Yishou was puzzled and frowned deeply.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and explained seriously to Chen Yishou.
"The so-called maritime trade is essentially about the mutual exchange of existence and non-existence. The silk and weaving of Dachen, and even porcelain, are Dachen, but there is no gain overseas. Only by transporting these overseas can we make huge profits."
"Since that's the case, the fleet needs to purchase goods on a large scale. However, it is too cumbersome to investigate goods such as silk and porcelain, and even weaving, and it may not be certain that the Yang family's fleet will purchase goods in Dachen. Who knows whether it will be in Wuchu? Even if it is purchased in Dachen, there are so many places for silk and porcelain production in the world. Who knows where they purchase goods from?"
"But now, Dachen has another unique specialty, which is the essence of salt. The benefits of fine salt are not to be mentioned. I can guarantee that it is the only one in the world. This kind of product has a huge shipment at one time, and it is also very convenient to sell it. And because it is unique, it is probably more profitable than silk and porcelain. Since the Yang family is in communication with each other, they will definitely not let go of fine salt."
Chen Yishou nodded while listening.
Chen Kaizhi continued to analyze.
"The biggest advantage of starting from the salt here is that it has only one manufacturer and no other semicolon. If they want to purchase goods, they can only try their best to buy them. No matter what their names are or how they take to conceal their identity, I only need to pay attention to one thing, that is, to find merchants with large purchases, to check their traces after buying this bulk salt, and follow the clues, you can gain something."
Chen Yishou thought about it carefully and couldn't help but nodded: "I understand what Your Majesty means. Your Majesty is right. I think there will be no problem starting from here."
Chen Kaiyi smiled: "This is just the second. Since it is purchased, what is involved must be large-scale money. With so much money, how can the Yang family overseas let Ahmao and Ahmao operate in Jibei with confidence? Then, this person who is responsible for buying salt in Jibei must be an important figure in the Yang family overseas. Once such a person is taken down, then the so-called Yang Taigong will have nowhere to hide. Even many things about them overseas will be clearly visible. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, and winning every battle. If I dig out this person, the matter will be half successful."
Chen Kai's eyes shine.
Yang Family...
I have come to the capital, no, or my destiny has always been closely related to the Yang family since I had a birthmark on my body and met Chen Wuji. Even though I ascended the throne as the emperor, the Yang family is still hanging on my head like a sword.
In the past, he was always passive and was woven into one net after another by the Yang family, but now he can finally take the initiative.
His eyes shined in his eyes, and his whole body was filled with a completely different temperament, as if he had changed a person in an instant, exuding a vigorous vitality. He smiled and said to Chen Yishou word by word.
"I have been waiting for this day for too long. Today, I should reveal all this. I... want to go to Jibei!"
"Your Majesty..." Chen Yishou became worried and couldn't help but advise: "Your Majesty is a thousand gold."
Chen Kaizhi understands his meaning,
But at this moment, Chen Kaizhi only wanted to remove the cancer from the Yang family, so Chen Kaizhi waved his hand at him and said firmly.
"There is nothing in the court. I am afraid that I will never be the Emperor Taiping in this life. I have been young and have not been in the deep palace. Therefore, I feel relieved to have the Queen Mother and you in this court. What's more, Guanzhong is pacified and the world is still stable, and I don't need to worry about anything. For me, the Yang family overseas is a big concern for me. How can I sit in the palace? There is no obstacle in Jibei. I should have gone to see it long ago. The Chen Qing family doesn't have to worry about me. I am the one who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood. No one in this world can hurt me."
Chen Yishou couldn't help but smile and shook his head with a wry smile: "Yes, in fact, when His Majesty attacked Guanzhong, the old minister felt that it was inappropriate. But the reason why he did not give full advice was that he knew that His Majesty had not been born in the palace and had not grown up with the hands of a woman in the deep palace..."
Speaking of this, Chen Yishou suddenly felt that what he said was a bit inappropriate. He hurriedly looked at Chen Kaizhi, but saw that Chen Kaizhi didn't mind. He continued: "Your Majesty has been a civilian since he was a child. He has since become an official, and he will be a military officer. Oh, if Your Majesty refuses to stay in the palace, how can the old minister stop him?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Those who achieve great things must always be different from others. Now, I finally have a little bit of a look. I should do my best, let alone..." Speaking of Jibei, Chen Kaizhi's eyes flashed with yearning and said slowly.
"I've long wanted to go to Jibei to take a look."
The feelings for Jibei are by no means groundless. Over the years, it is Chen Kaizhi who has made Jibei successful.
This Jibei is more like the plan of Chen Kaizhi's countless imaginations. In a sense, Jibei is more like his spiritual hometown. Perhaps only there can Chen Kaizhi imagine what happened to him in his previous life.
