The advantages of sea routes are obvious. In fact, this essence is the same as a canal. If the same ship of cargo is connected to the canal, the loss and cost are the lowest.

But if the two places are not connected to the canal, how many large trucks will be needed for a ship of cargo, how much manpower will be needed, and how much time will be needed?

If this convoy of hundreds of large trucks is not to mention anything else, just a heavy rain on the road, you may have to stay in place for ten or half a month to rest. How much food does the hundreds of people rushing and guarding the car need to consume during these ten or half months?

This... is just a heavy rain. For thousands of miles, there may be different vehicles and horses. When you encounter mountains, you have to carry goods to cross mountains and ridges. The hardships can be imagined.

But if it is shipping, it is completely different. Of course, the premise is that there are ships that can truly go into the sea and are led by professionals.

Now, even the Yue Kingdom, which has the strongest shipbuilding capabilities, their sea ships can only sail along the edge of the continent. Ships that truly enter the deep sea need strong resistance to wind and waves. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be destroyed by these destructive hurricanes and waves.

So these people do not know about maritime trade, so they naturally will not understand the profits in it, but it doesn't matter, everything can be explained.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at everyone again before speaking slowly.

"I have taken a person who purchased goods for Yang in Jibei. You must have seen this secret commentary. Every year, his purchase volume in Jibei is millions of taels of silver. These millions of taels of silver can be worth tens of millions of millions of tons of silver when loaded into ships and transported to sea. Not only that, they also set up a large number of trading points in Franchise, in India, in Dashi, and in the Japanese island. They connected the dots one by one to communicate with each other, such as Western spices, Franchise glass and specialties, and the horses of Dashi. The mutual trade is still amazing. They even carried out slave trade in Kunlun Prefecture, took the natives of Kunlun Prefecture and resold the Dashi and Franchise."

When Chen Kaizhi said this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said to everyone seriously.

"So I have reason to believe that their net profit will have tens of millions of taels of silver every year, and even more. In addition to recruiting more people and building more sea boats, they will reap profits and hoard countless wealth in their strongholds. The Yang family has been operating for two hundred years, monopolizing gold and silver minerals in many places, and gathering countless treasures from the world. If I say that they have billions of dollars, I think it is still conservative."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they seemed to be unable to believe it.

The treasury of each country is self-determined. Although each country collects in kind taxes and does not receive much cash, even if the physical tax is added, the tax for a year is at most equivalent to the Yang family's income.

But on the surface it seems to be the same, but in fact it is not. The money Yang made in the sea trade is real. To put it bluntly, there is no other consumption besides hiring manpower and building ships. Different countries are different. Although they also receive huge taxes every year, they are essentially more expenses. When encountering famines, they need relief. Hundreds of thousands of troops, although the vast majority of defenders are not very strong in combat, they still have to be maintained for long-term stability. In addition, there are many officials and nobles, and their salaries are essential. In addition, they also need to bear many responsibilities such as education and even building cities.

In other words, the so-called taxes, in addition to being the emperor, who can enjoy the extravagance and desire, repair the palace, and raise a large number of concubines in the harem, are actually just handed in the treasury and can't save much money a year. Many times, they still have to make ends meet. They need to rely on the court to open up other sources of wealth to barely maintain it.

Therefore, this billions of wealth is amazing, and the profit of tens of millions of taels of silver per year is enough to make even those who are kings stunned.

For them, this is Yang's wealthy family.

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.

"Yang, wealth is as good as a country, and even... I believe that it is easy for Yang to become the lord of a country, but do you know why Yang wants to be the duckweed on the sea? Because if you are a king, you will be like you and me. Although you are known as the king of heaven, you are the king's land. Although you claim to be the commander of heaven and have thousands of subjects, you also shoulder huge responsibilities for the sake of the country and the country. However, Yang does not need to bear any responsibility. They do not have any ministers, but they only need to spend money to hire them. They do not need to pay tribute to the people, but they do not need to be bound by the people, and do not need to teach the people, and do not need to find any way to make the people have a meal and make them obey their own."

"And now..." Chen Kaizhi's eyes were faint, and he looked at everyone deeply, and then spoke solemnly: "I am not willing to be controlled by the Yang family. I am willing to be manipulated by the Yang family. Are you willing to be manipulated by them? I invite you to come. One is to destroy Yang, and the other is to discuss the return of Prince Qian Sheng."

"How easy it is to destroy Yang, so I asked all countries to come here to discuss the major plan."

The more Chen Kaizhi said, the more excited he became. He stood up and paced back and forth. He glanced deeply at everyone, as if the kings of various countries seemed not very enthusiastic about it.

This is actually understandable.

The Yang family is so difficult to deal with, and they are overseas, destroying Yang... How difficult is this?

It can be said that no one likes such a proposal.

After all, countries are unwilling to waste national strength. Although the current situation is dissatisfied, at least it is much better than any drastic change.

How could Chen Kaizhi know about their thoughts? But if it were him, if it were something that was not good, he would not be keen on doing it.

Therefore, he smiled and continued, "It is not easy to destroy Yang, but I have a way. Yang has a reliance on sea trade. So, why don't we unite and compete with them with sea trade? This sea trade is a huge profit, a huge profit transaction. Once it is completed, it will be rewarded ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times."

"Not only that, we not only need to establish a maritime trade business to sell our goods, but also build ships and attack the Yang family's fleet. Even... If we have the opportunity in the future, we can directly attack Huanglong and snatch their goods, their strongholds, and they have huge treasures overseas. If we can get this treasure, what a huge profit would it be?"

Joint...Marine Transportation...

Now, it seems that someone is beginning to be touched.

Even if Chen Kaizhi said ten thousand words, how much the Yang family deserves to be damned and shameless is actually irrelevant to them.

After all... righteous indignation cannot be used as a food. Even if everyone has a sense of justice, it is crazy to bet on their own national destiny because of their sense of justice.

So no one would do this.

But what Chen Kaizhi raised now is another question.

Look, the Yang family makes money so much, and we are watching him take advantage of huge profits. If you can tolerate it, I can't. Now, I will take the lead and everyone will join forces to kill the Yang family. Wouldn't this sea trade be the only one to take over?

The Yang family is overseas and has huge treasures. If they are killed, then everyone here will have many lifetimes and will spend too much money.

Yan Chengwu obviously moved.

Originally, the Yan people were invaded by Japanese pirates, so he also supported the destruction of Yang. Now, there is a beautiful vision in front of him. Why don’t you teach him any thoughts?

It can be said that he agrees very much and is almost willing to raise his hands.

The king of Yue seemed to have great interest, but he was still worried, so he couldn't help asking subconsciously.

"It is easy to destroy Yang, but how to destroy Yang? Since the Yang family has been in operation overseas for hundreds of years, it is not easy to shake their foundation. What's more, they have to compete with them in maritime trade. It's not that Brother Yu poured cold water on Brother Chen, but I'm afraid it's not too easy."

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "What I want to say is this. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but no matter how difficult it is, as long as it starts, why don't you be afraid of it? Therefore, the first thing is to see whether all countries are in the same spirit. Therefore, I first propose that the emperors of all countries may as well become brothers first. In this way, we can ensure that all countries do not attack each other and put their minds on the plan to destroy Yang. Secondly, if all countries build naval forces, they will be very likely to be defeated by the Yang fleet. Therefore, the first thing is the various countries.

To form an alliance, we jointly establish a joint business, and all the royal families all invest in it. This joint business only focuses on building ships and going to sea, sharing the existence and whether there are or not, and ensuring shipping. All countries have shares. Therefore, the profits of this business are divided equally by the shares of each country, and all countries all grant the business the right to franchise the business, so that the business has various privileges that are above the laws of each country, and to enter into new rules, which not only protects the power of shareholders of each country, but also makes them unbound by ordinary laws."

The so-called joint commerce is essentially an organization with a transcendent status. It is not bound by ordinary laws and has huge power in various countries. At the same time, it is just an organization of a commerce company and can be within a controllable scope of various countries.

This...is obviously a bit awkward for all countries, but...it doesn't seem to be something that cannot be negotiated.

In this world, you can't escape the saying that you can't afford to get up early after all.
