Daming One Piece

Chapter 101 A Great Beginning (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
The second day of November in the fifth year of Tianqi.

The day may not seem like a big deal, but a great and magnificent career can sometimes start off with a very ordinary one.

On this day, relying on one person's head and relying on an unreliable, even fake flag, the Hoi An Ming merchants who have been fighting for a hundred years finally sat together. It wasn't that they were embarrassed or guilty, after all, they gave up the city to the Annan people.

And on this day, in the Guangdong Guild Hall, they held a meeting.The purpose of the meeting was to establish a small trading company specializing in rice trading. The initial capital was set at 50 taels of silver. In addition to the participation of 36 shareholders in Hoi An, there were also [-] anonymous shareholders.The chamber of commerce was named "Da Ming Nanyang Company", and its purpose was to export rice to Daming and import goods from Daming into Hoi An.

"monopoly!"

Even after raising 8000 taels of shares, these two words still flashed in Li Guinan's mind from time to time.

"As long as our Nanyang Company monopolizes Daming's rice grains, we can make a profit of at least 50 taels a year!"

Sitting in front of his brother-in-law Xu Daoliang, Li Guinan couldn't help but said.

"The 50 shi this time is just a test of the water. Once it succeeds, at least 200 large ships with 50 shi will come to Hoi An to transport rice next year, and at least [-] shi for grain next year. In another three years, one year [-] million shi of grain, calculated at five qian per shi, our profit is at least [-] taels!"

"Actually, a business of 50 taels is not a big deal!"

Xu Daoliang shook his head, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"If it is true as Mr. Shi said, if we can turn Hoi An into Batavia, and our Nanyang Company can become the Dutch East India Company, then we can enjoy it endlessly for generations..."

While talking, Xu Daoliang said again.

"Speaking of it, we are really a group of wealthy landowners who have never seen the world. Brother, look out of Hoi An City. The fertile fields are more than a thousand miles away. If nothing else, if the old ancestors recruited people to reclaim wasteland, who would it be now? Don’t have a land of 20 million mu? This land is fundamental!”

"No, back then I thought this was not a long-term place, but look at our Hui'an city, except that the city is smaller and less populated, which is worse than Guangzhou? Ordinary county towns in Guangdong are probably not as good as Hoi'an, If, as Mr. Shi said, everyone can really discuss things in the board of directors like the Dutch in the future, then we will not be able to enjoy them for generations, so we still need to stare at those three melons and two dates like we are now... just ..."

After a pause, Li Guinan said.

"Tell me, can this be done?"

"The red-haired fan can do it, and we can do it too. Just like Mr. Shi said, a cannon is only worth two taels of silver, that is, two or three hundred taels. But the Spaniards are expensive, the Dutch are also expensive, and Portugal and England are also expensive." They are all the same, they are not from the same country, and they can all form a group to trap us, why can't we form a group?"

"I'm talking about the company, you said, you said he is Mr. Shi, who is the British Duke, will it work? In case in the future, if we tear ourselves apart with the Annan people, then..."

Li Guinan said with some worry.

"Whether it works or not, I don't know, but I know, if Mr. Shi can really sell us a cannon for 300 taels, we will also build a few forts outside the city and press the cannons like Hongmaofan. What people can do, we can also do, besides..."

Xu Daoliang said.

"Whether it will work or not, we will know when Mr. Shi comes over next time. If he can really bring back a hundred cannons, I think it will work!"

"That's true, a hundred cannons, no one except the imperial court has such a big hand."

Nodding, Li Guinan said to himself.

"I hope that as he said, within three to five years at most, Nanyang Company will be able to enter and leave Ming Dynasty openly!"

Why can't we be aboveboard now?
Because Mr. Shi said that not everyone in the court agreed to buy grain overseas. This matter was ordered quietly by the emperor and the British prince under pressure.

This is Huangcha!

It's still secret!
Two days later, at Hoi An Pier, when bags of rice were being loaded onto the boat, Shi Yiwen said to Song Yunjie earnestly.

"Song County Magistrate, I will entrust you with running the Zhonghua School!"

What is a "Chinese school", that is, a school. In fact, there were schools in Hoi An in the past, but the Chinese schools in the future can only teach Mandarin.The reason why mandarin is taught is to break the differences between regions. Mandarin can allow them to collude with each other so that they will not have differences because of their different languages, and they will not become enemies because of their different languages.

"Please don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to handle this matter."

Song Yunjie quickly replied.

"Well, we must not only try our best to do it, but also do it well. All people, whether they are from Cantonese, Chaozhou, or Hakka, their children must go to school, regardless of gender. The money will be paid by the company in the future. There are many conflicts among the three families in Hoi An. If you want to resolve the conflicts between them, you must first let their children get in touch with each other. Maybe it won’t work at first, but as time goes by, they are classmates and classmates. , will always be resolved little by little. In a few decades, when everyone speaks Mandarin, this geographical difference will be almost resolved. We are in a foreign land, so why do we need to separate each other? They are from China. They should be united as one!"

Shi Yiwen’s tone contained some kind of expectation. He did not expect that the first school he founded would be in Hoi An. After the meeting two days ago, the three guild halls only kept the largest Cantonese guild hall, but the guild hall was changed to the Chinese guild hall. As for the Teochew Guild Hall and the Hakka Guild Hall, they were changed into Chinese schools, which were divided into boys' schools and girls' schools.

"Young Master's words are so true! Books are written in the same language, and the language is pronounced in the same way. Only in this way can we become China!"

Song Yunjie nodded again and again.

"Well, County Magistrate of Song Dynasty, as long as this is done, within three years, I will guarantee you to be the first magistrate of Hui'an County in Ming Dynasty."

Shi Yiwen's promise made Song Yunjie's heart burst into ecstasy, Daming's first magistrate of Hui'an County!
He is a good county magistrate now, but he is not from Daming. If he can become an official of Daming, he will really honor his ancestors and return home in good clothes!
While excited, Song Yunjie kept bowing to Shi Yiwen.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, for your support and support, I don't think I'll be a lower official! Please rest assured, my lord, I will do my best to serve you..."

"The magistrate of Song County is polite, polite."

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you here!"
