Chapter 245 Lord Ning, Duke Ning!You are a real dog! .
"Silk, tea, porcelain, even herbs and lacquerware!"
"These things can be used as goods and sold by Shangdao Ocean Overseas!"
In the reception room of the Governor's Mansion.
Ning Chen paced back and forth in the hall, looking at the Patriarchs from time to time, with a faint smile on his face...
"It's not my country's prince who is here to lie to you!"
"These things are shipped overseas and sold, how much profit can be made from it, you should be very clear!"
"After Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions in the past, the silk that was transported to the countries in the Western Regions was so hard to find!"
"Don't you all, don't you want to earn more money to revitalize your family again?!"
Revitalize the family!
When these four words popped out of Ning Chen's mouth.
Wang Mingrui and Xiao Lanying's eyes widened in an instant!
In the pupils of the eyes, a group of bright rays suddenly burst out!
Today it is today.
These aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River who called the wind and rain in the Six Dynasties era, the family power has been greatly weakened!
now
In the Tang Empire, there were a total of [-] or [-] chief ministers, as well as the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries.
None of them came from the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River!
And now.
The current Lord Ningguo actually uttered these words from his mouth!
So, doesn't this mean...
For an instant.
Thousands of thoughts arose in the hearts of the several aristocratic patriarchs, and they also had all kinds of messy calculations!
Finally, after a long time.
Wang Mingrui of the Langya Wang family who has the closest relationship with Ning Chen.
He was the first to get up from the chair, and bowed his hands to Ning Chen with a dignified and solemn expression!
"Report to my lord!"
"About this matter of opening up business routes and going overseas."
"My Langya Wang family is willing to participate with all the strength of the whole clan!"
"Whether it's the children of the family, or the merchant ships and caravans under the name, they are all at the disposal of the Duke!"
A smile instantly appeared on Ning Chen's face.
He stretched out his hand and patted Wang Mingrui's shoulder heavily, feeling that the Patriarch of the Wang family is indeed a smart man who knows the times!
When the other three saw this scene, they quickly made up their minds!
Standing up together, they bowed their hands respectfully and said:
"We are waiting, and we are willing to devote our entire clan's strength to participate in this matter!"
-
After half an hour.
Looking at the backs of Wang Mingrui and the others going away.
Ning Chen let out a breath of turbid air slowly, a certain big rock in his heart finally dropped a bit...!
Although the financial crisis in the early days of the Tang Empire was somewhat alleviated.
But in the end, we are still facing the danger of empty treasury at any time!
and so.
Ever since Ning Chen had the idea of opening up business paths.
Grandpa Guo, he never planned to have the Tang Dynasty court to provide capital and people to open up this business way to make money!
Because Ning Chen's plan has always been to let the four great families in Jiangnan take the lead.
United with wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, let them form caravans, go overseas, and open up business routes!
even.
For all the taels of silver consumed, the Tang court will not reimburse one tael of silver!
What an empty-handed white wolf!
He deserves to be Lord Ningguo who regards "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" as his motto...
"White wolf with empty gloves, I'm also bleeding, right?"
Ning Chen curled his lips and snorted softly.
In this major event of opening up business channels and going overseas.
The imperial court of the Great Tang Empire never interfered with the business dealings of merchants!
exactly.
The Tang court only sent sailors and soldiers to protect the safety of the ocean caravan!
This is the rule set by Ning Chen and several big families!
"You are merchants selling things, I am responsible for protecting your lives!"
"Everyone takes what they need, just right...!"
"I, Ning Chen, am indeed one of the best resource allocation masters in the Tang Empire!"
A smug smile appeared on the face of a certain prince.
He laughed a few times, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the herbal tea in it.
The business that was negotiated today.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the court of the Great Tang Empire will make a lot of money!
because.
The current Lord Ningguo raised the commercial tax of ocean-going merchants to a terrifying level of 40.00%!
In other words.
The major families and the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.
If you earn 100 taels of silver through ocean overseas, you have to pay 40 taels of silver as a commercial tax to the Tang court!
The tax rate of this commercial tax is simply appalling...!
If it is not Ning Chen who came forward to discuss the opening of business channels with the major families today.
I'm afraid Wang Mingrui and others.
You won't talk nonsense at all, and you will leave immediately!
"I have to say, the face of the Duke of this country is really big enough!"
"If nothing unexpected happens and the business path can be opened up."
"After a year, the imperial court can save more than 2000 million taels of business tax in overseas trade without saying anything!"
Think about this.
The smile on Ning Chen's face suddenly became a little excited!
One million taels of silver!
This is 2000 million taels of silver that can be piled up to fill the treasury half full!
"That's it."
"Even if it is a war on three fronts at the same time, against the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Tubo and Tugu!"
"Da Tang will definitely not be dragged down by money, food and grass...!"
"Haha, big uncle, big uncle, don't talk about it in the future, you have to give me the title of county king for Ning Chen!"
"otherwise……"
"I'll go back and dig out all the royal secret vaults of your Taiji Palace...!"
Among the pavilions.
Gradually, the unbridled and carefree sinister laughter of a certain prince came!
And compared with him.
The four families, including Wang Mingrui, all had such disgusting expressions as if they had eaten shit...
Chapter 246 Don't act dead, or you will be ransacked! ! .
In the south of Yangzhou City, in a "good place" called Zuijiang Tower.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the heads of the four prestigious families.
now.
Right in this Drunken River Tower!
Xiao Lanying smiled and took the wine cup from a charming woman.
After tilting his head up and pouring it down, a touch of sadness swept over his brow...!
"Ugh……"
"The general trend is the trend, there is nothing to do!"
The Patriarch of the Xiao Clan in Lanling shook his head lightly, then raised his head again and downed a glass of wine.
The three Wang Mingrui were also here.
They are all like Xiao Lanying, with a little unnatural sadness on their faces...
And they are worried.
It is the big event about opening up business channels and going overseas!
"Opening up a business path is not an easy task!"
"If you're not careful, the caravan might be in danger of being wiped out!"
"Even if there are navy guards, the risk is still great...!"
in the present.
Commercial trade mainly relies on land and river transportation!
The so-called ocean trade, even ocean trade.
In the eyes of these Patriarchs, it is really too far away and out of reach!
Moreover.
God knows if there will be any vicious bandits in the depths of the ocean!
When the time comes to board the ship to plunder and wipe out the entire army, you will have to pay a big loss...!
And just when these people were talking in private.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared in the hanging terrace of the top floor pavilion where they were!
Tianji Pavilion, Tingxue Tower...!
The next second the figure in black appeared.
This spy from Tianji Pavilion Tingxuelou has already moved forward at a very high speed!
