Chapter 191 Raw silk business

But since Liu Peng has done his homework, he will naturally not reveal flaws in this issue: "I still use the Jianwen year name, and attach a small note book to usurp the Yan year name until..."

When Wang Dao saw Liu Peng deliberately not saying anything, he immediately asked curiously: "Nephew Liu, until when?"

Liu Peng immediately said: "It was not until the first year of Tianshun that the Yingzong was restored after the rebellion of the gate."

Wang Dao first wondered, then slapped his thighs: "It's so wonderful, really wonderful, it's still Mr. Liu who thought it thoroughly, and used the Jianwen year name until the first year of Tianshun."

The reason why he used it until the first year of Tianshun was because after Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty restoration, he recalled the painful years he was imprisoned in Nangong and decided to release the Jianshu people who had been imprisoned for more than 50 years. This was to some extent a certain rehabilitation of Emperor Jianwen. In the eyes of Wang Daoyi, it was also the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's return to the right track.

However, Wang Daoyi and Liu Peng were extremely happy, but Ma Linian's forehead was covered with sweat, which was all scared.

He never expected that the topic between Liu Peng and Wang Daoyi was so bold, so scruple-free, and so ignorant of the court's laws. Although the Jianwen reign title had been restored by the Wanli period, the country was in the upright state, not in Jianwen but in Yongle. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were just descendants of the Prince of Yan.

But Liu Peng ignored Ma Linian's mood at all. He continued to talk about his plan: "Old Nietai, if the future is better than the clouds, I want to do three things in the Jingnan matter!"

Now Wang Dao looked at Liu Peng and felt very pleasant: "What three things? Let's talk about it, but unfortunately I can't see that day anymore!"

Liu Peng immediately said, "The first thing is the record of the Four Cultivation Taizu."

The Ming Taizu's record has been compiled three times. The first time was in the Jianwen period. As a result, the words and King Yan were very disrespectful. As a result, the historians in the supervising were killed by the King Yan, and the record naturally did not exist. In the first year of Yongle, he was still very dissatisfied. He organized human resources to re-educate it in the ninth year of Yongle, and it was not until the sixteenth year of Yongle that he completed it.

However, this three-revised Taizu Record is purely a decoration used to praise Zhu Di's achievements in Jingnan. There are flaws everywhere after repeated modifications. Whether it is a historian or a loyal minister like Wang Daoyi, they are extremely dissatisfied with this Taizu Record. Liu Peng's suggestion is naturally to express their thoughts.

"This is a very good idea, what's the second?"

Liu Peng immediately said: "There is no record of Jianwen, so the record of Jianwen should be rebuilt."

Wang Daoyi felt that Liu Peng's proposal was very in line with his wishes, so he couldn't help but pat Fuzi: "It's so good, what's the third thing?"

"Jianwen should have a temple name and a posthumous title, and enter the Taimiao!"

Although the Jianwen reign title was restored in the 23rd year of Wanli, a tail was left. Jianwen had a reign title but no temple title, and posthumous title, let alone the temple, and he was still not the ancestor of the Ming system.

Liu Peng's proposal made Wang Daoyi feel like he wanted to shout and cheer. He felt that life was really rare to know. Now there is a soulmate in the mountains and rivers: "Okay! Mr. Liu, don't call me Lao Nietai. Your talent is so magnificent. Call me Lao Nietai, that's really a killer. Let's call you Lao Nietai. Just call me Lao Wang! It's okay to call me Lao Wang!"

This is the intention of being willing to be close to Liu Peng. Now Ma Linian, who is beside him, feels that he is about to be scared to death by Liu Peng and Wang Daoyi. He has just heard a conversation, but he is slumped on the chair and can't straighten his back at all. He is afraid that the young and old will say something extremely explosive, so he quickly said: "Old Nietai, Master Liu, don't be polite to each other. It's important for us to talk about serious matters, it's important for us to talk about serious matters!"

Wang Daoyi smiled. He was not polite to Liu Peng now: "I specially invited Mr. Liu to come today because I wanted to discuss a big event. I wanted Liu Peng to participate in the grand event with me. Seeing Mr. Liu's heroic appearance, I knew that I had found the right person now. I said it straight. The reason I came to Mr. Liu came because I wanted to collect some raw silk."

Although Wang Daoyi spoke very relaxed and calmly, Liu Peng felt that his ears were about to explode, so he had to ask again: "Raw silk?"

Wang Daoyifeng Qingyun said calmly: "That's right, collect some raw silk! Mr. Liu thinks it's impossible to do this business?"

Liu Peng was still unconscious, and he asked again: "What Lao Nietai means is that we are going to buy raw silk in Denglai Palace?"

Ma Linian finally recovered. He smiled and said to Liu Peng: "Yes, the reason why I asked Mr. Liu to come over is that Mr. Wang felt that the opportunity was rare, so he was going to take down all the raw silks from both the Denglai Mansions and transport them from Liu Shaolongkou to Jiangnan. This business can definitely make a lot of money!"

Speaking of this, Ma Linian said proudly: "Jin Baimian even if he transports a few ships of salt, it is not as much as our ship of raw silk! He thought that I could make a fortune by throwing it away. Humph, let's just throw it away on the raw silk and do it by yourself. This is the real way to make a fortune."

Liu Peng still can't believe his ears.

In the late Ming Dynasty, doing raw silk business can be said to be the most profitable business. You should know that this is a maritime silk road, and you can even make a lot of money by transporting raw silk to Jiangnan. I don’t know how many cities, many merchants and weaving households survived entirely by the silk industry. Moreover, even Japanese merchants, Portugal, Spanish and even British people were involved in the raw silk business.

The so-called "Maritime Silk Road" actually reached its peak in the late Ming Dynasty. Every year, a large amount of raw silk flowed into Europe through sea routes. The Dutch offered a sky-high price of 140 taels per dan in Taiwan, but still could not purchase enough raw silk.

The demand for silk in China is also amazing. However, among all customers, the highest price demand is Japan, which has a lot of water. The normal sales price of a tuft of raw silk in Jiangnan is about 60 taels, and the highest sales price of a tuft of raw silk in Japan once reached an incredible five or six hundred taels of silver. In normal years, there is a sky-high price of two or three hundred taels per tuft.

However, Liu Peng's past impression always thought that there were a large amount of raw silk in Jiangnan. On the Shandong Peninsula, Liu Peng's impression was that people did plant mulberry trees, and there were also raw silks. The documents in Xiangjiagekuli recorded that about 60,000 to 70,000 mulberry trees were planted in Guanghuang County, and the actual number of mulberry trees may be higher or even reach 100,000.

However, Liu Peng used to think that the raw silk produced in Shandong was limited after all, but today he realized that he was looking at the sky from a well and could bring in big names like Wang Daoyi. How much benefit does the raw silk business in Denglai Palace have in it?
