"Li Lou's wisdom and Gongshuzi's cleverness cannot be achieved by rules..."

Mr. Zhang did not speak, but began to recite a passage of scriptures.

"Shi Kuang's intelligence does not use the six laws, and cannot correct the five sounds; the way of Yao and Shun cannot govern the world without benevolent government."

Li Dongyang heard it a little puzzled. As one of the great scholars of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally knew the source of these words.

The scriptures and chapters that the young master read came from "Mencius: Lilou Chapter" and were also what he had learned.

"Don't you know if Xiya Gong was paying attention?! The chaos in the Ming Dynasty is mostly found in merchants and scholars."

Li Dongyang suddenly blushed when he said this. How could he not know about this?!

Many scholars still need some face at this time, and it is not yet time for merchants like Wanli Dynasty to have a good status.

Of course, this does not prevent scholars from doing business in a concealed manner.

Not to mention that their family members do business, they adhere to the principle of "hiding each other with relatives" to cover up or even protect them.

The family is exempt from taxes through their scholarship, and is protected, and returns from earning money from outside.

Then support them, who are not engaged in childbirth, study, get official positions, and go to a higher position to meet more famous scholars.

It is even better to meet ministers in the court, and then have fellow villagers help each other to expand their influence bit by bit.

"Why are scholars and merchants in chaos?! Have you ever thought about it?"

Li Dongyang was really asked this time, yes! Why are they in chaos?!

Li Dongyang himself is also very troubled and bored in the chaos in Shilin.

The censors were better after being cleaned up by the crazy tiger, but the scholars below didn't have any words to keep their mouths.

He dares to jump out of nothing, and sometimes he even gathers to force the government to do so.

"The ship will start tomorrow, but it will probably take three days to set off."

The young master smiled and whispered to Li Dongyang who was in deep thought: "Southern Yunnan has been straightened out, and Xiya Gong must be able to get things done in Annan."

Li Dongyang did not object to this. He has been supporting him for many years in the officialdom.

If even Annan is not able to handle it now, Old Li would just find a piece of tofu to kill him.

"This time, you can also bring Sui'an Gong to know Annan. It would be good for him to experience it here before entering the pavilion."

These words were so old-fashioned, but Li Dongyang did not feel inconsistent at all.

He even nodded subconsciously: "Shicong has indeed experienced more, after all, the country has changed too much..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Dongyang laughed himself.

How old is this crazy tiger? He has actually started to arrange matters for the state.

Looking at the young man Ru Yu who was smiling with a strong spirit, Li Dongyang suddenly felt that he was old.

When you are old, you have to accept it!

After going back, Shicong was able to enter the cabinet, and he also looked for a successor.

Then I went to the Senate to take care of my dough, and it was not bad to compete with the young people in my position.

"Dangdangdang~ everyone! The ones who are pounced on today are more special."

It’s still in Guanhai Tingtao Tower, but this time there are only ten fellowship associations sitting here.

They all have large and multiple sea boats, and even they have sea boats parked in the old port.

"This time, we are transporting food and fodder to the State Council!"

Mr. Napumai said, bowing to the direction of the capital.

"I will be wise and powerful to capture the Annan thief! But this food and fodder are a bit too much!"

Well... this is not a bit too much, it is a lot!

But thinking about it, no one here can eat so much food.

It was a full 15 million stones, and they all shivered when they thought about it.

I'm afraid only the Ministry of Revenue and the inner treasury can stock up so much food with justification.

"This time, we will buy from high to low! Within one month, 15 million stones of grain will be shipped to the capital!"

Hey~ I bought it like this, it’s fresh.

But it seems to be very suitable to think about it. After all, it is such a large amount of grain transportation.

Even if you mobilize the fleet and transport it back continuously, it will not be easy.

And it is impossible that every time I come here, I just transport food, so I have to bring some other items back.

"The total price is 6,000 taels this time! Each time, you will be reduced by 100 taels, please pay attention! Each time you will be reduced by 100 taels!"

Mr. Pumai knocked on the hammer with an awesomeness and shouted: "Now... start!"

These big maritime merchants looked at each other and finally, the head of the Guangdong North Ferry Association slowly stood up.

"Since you don't come, then Yue will take the lead! Six thousand taels, my northern Guangdong Merchants Association will take over!"

"Okay! Six thousand taels! Six thousand taels, is there any official who is lower than this number?! Six thousand taels!"

To be fair, 6,000 taels are quite profitable.

After all, they did not go straight to the capital from Annan, but first moved to northern Guangdong to replenish the goods.

Then bring a batch of goods to the capital, which will make the cost much lower.

The guys on the ship are just over one or two taels of the highest Yueyin.

All the ships that can transport 100,000 stones will be dispatched.

The monthly silver you paid is not much more than a thousand taels of food, drink and miscellaneous expenses along the way.

The price of 6,000 taels is very suitable.

"Five thousand five hundred taels!"

The Beijing Tssels Farming Association pondered for a while and cut down five hundred taels directly.

"The family is worth a lot of money, so there is no shortage of this little money."

The head of the Beijing Farming Association stood up at this time and raised his hand with a smile.

"Four thousand taels!"

The following officials were stunned!

Damn! You are so cruel! You killed 4,000 taels in one breath.

There is a profit of 4,000 taels, but it is necessary to consider whether it is worth taking the risk of 3,000 taels.

"Hahaha... Since Brother Cai is willing, how dare I not let me go? Well! My thorny family will not be able to do this."

The two companies in northern Guangdong are just to give face to the young master.

Although you won't lose money if you win, there is no need to take such a risk.

The sea ships are allocated to Champo to transport other supplies, which can also make money.

Without them, the other companies hesitated for a while but did not increase the price.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Mr. Pumai knew that these big players could not fool them.

So I asked three questions in a row and finally got the hammer.

After signing the contract, Annan's granary began to rumble to transport trucks of grain towards the wharf.

The two sides of the Tssels Farming Association and the North Guangdong Farming Association were quite righteous and lent their own ships to the capital.

The other few cargo companies thought about it and also lent some of the sea boats.

So soon after the first batch of grain was loaded on the ship, they began to march towards the capital.

The first batch of items transported back by the young master must be the most valuable items.

For example, how to transport that huge coral tree back becomes a big problem!

This is so big that even Mr. Zhang was stunned for a while when he first saw it.

In his previous life, he also visited the Red Coral Museum, and the red corals in the museum were about as tall as that.

But there is no such thing as a similar height and the quality is so good.

After swaying around it in surprise, Mr. Zhang raised his hand and ordered someone to think about how to put it back.

The craftsmen are also in a dilemma. How can you pretend like this big guy?

Everyone thought for a long time and decided to use cork to make a set of mats first.

Thick cotton tires are laid on the cork, but there are many kapoks in Annan.

It is not a problem to find enough cotton to make it into moderately soft and hard cotton tires.

Finally, there are branches. In order to avoid breaking the coral branches, you have to carefully fill them with cotton.
