Daming One Piece

Chapter 98
"Should!"

Li Guinan didn't hesitate at all.

"There is no dignity in the eyes, the law of the king, it is really damn, it is not a pity to die!"

"So what about you?"

Shi Yiwen asked.

The answer is yes, that person is damned!

Regardless of whether he deserves to die or not, since he has stood up, he must die!

Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!

That person is that chicken!No matter what, he must die!Did he die unjustly?

injustice!
But he must die!

No one will sympathize with a dead person, especially a dead person killed by a superior.

Guo Huaiyi and Gan Hui were dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine why those rebellious local tyrants suddenly turned into lambs one by one.

This is not like their behavior!
How could they surrender in front of Shi Yiwen so easily.

In fact, they did not surrender to Shi Yiwen, but to the power he represented!

Now, in front of everyone, he is a symbol of power!They submit to power!It is the Celestial Dynasty that he represents!
fake?

Who knows?

Fake, does he dare to kill like this?

If you pretend to be fake, you will take it as real!
Looking at the tamed people, Shi Yiwen said in a deep voice:

"The reason why we set up a special rice store is to ensure that rice grains are sold at a fair price. If we don't set up a rice store and specialize in rice grains, then within two or three years, private businesses will be rampant, and the prices will be raised if they compete to sell, and the prices will be lowered when they are received. By then , there must be a wealthy businessman making countless profits from it, and when the time comes, the price of rice will rise day by day, even if it is shipped back to Daming, who will it be sold to?"

Looking around at the crowd, Shi Yiwen said.

"Therefore, rice grain must be monopolized! It will be purchased and sold by the rice bank in a unified way!"

To put it bluntly, Shi Yiwen is for the monopoly!
What business is the most profitable, of course it is a monopoly!Only a monopoly can guarantee the continuous delivery of food from Annan in the future. Otherwise, those private traders will definitely continue to raise prices in order to expand the supply of goods. Sooner or later, they will "kill" others for their own self-interest.

"My lord, does this mean that only this rice store will be able to operate the grain business in the future?"

Li Guinan tentatively said.

"It's not that this rice store is the only one that can run the grain business, it's that only this rice store can sell grain to sea merchants. As for other large and small rice stores, selling grain in the city has nothing to do with me."

Glancing at Li Guinan, Shi Yiwen said in a deep voice:

"This time, Shi Mou went south to buy grain because of the lack of food in Gyeonggi and other places, so he went south to buy foreign rice under the order of the Duke of the State. Don't think that this business is a one-shot deal. I can show everyone the bottom of it today. After that, you will buy no less than 100 million shi rice every year, as long as you have the ability to buy the rice and transport it to Hoi An, whether it is 100 million shi or 200 million shi, it will be underwritten by the rice shop.”

100 stone!
In an instant, everyone's eyes widened, Cao Yinshui from Chaozhou said in surprise.

"Is what the young master said true?"

"Why, you don't believe it?"

Cao Yinshui's expression changed suddenly, and he waved his hands again and again.

"Don't dare, dare not, grassroots dare not!"

"You wouldn't believe it if you didn't bring out the real gold and silver. Come on, bring the silver in!"

Soon, several silver boxes were lifted up, Shi Yiwen stood up and said.

"The purchase of Annan rice is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. How can it be false? This is 1 taels of silver. In addition, there are 30 Hongyi cannons in my "Heifeng" warehouse. It was drawn out by the Ministry of War, I don’t know if you guys are interested in it!”

Thirty Hongyi cannons!
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and Li Guinan immediately spoke.

"Master Shi, I'll take care of all those Hongyi cannons, and I'm willing to give you 3 taels of silver..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Yinshui shouted.

"Brother Li, you can't eat alone. What do you mean you can take it all in? I still want to take it all in? I'll pay 5000 taels!"

You see, as soon as they saw the benefits, they immediately fought.

Seeing how they were arguing, Shi Yiwen was not in a hurry, just watched them arguing.Let's wait for them to blush and have thick necks.

Thirty Hongyi cannons are enough to make anyone crazy. Compared with the Hongmao Fan, the Ming maritime merchants of this era, including their "land merchants", are raised by their stepmothers. The government will definitely not sell them the cannons. , Their cannons are either Francophones stolen and sold by the officers and soldiers, or cannons bought from Hongmaofan.The price must be very high, and more importantly, they have never been able to get enough cannons. A ship is only three or four Franz machines.

There are too many ships and too few guns. This is the biggest dilemma for the Ming maritime merchants in this era.There is no way, the government will not sell it, and the people will not make it.But Hongmaofan is different. When the boat is built, the guns will keep up, and everyone is more angry than everyone.

Now that the government has extrajudicially "gifted" thirty cannons to everyone, who wouldn't be greedy?Who doesn't want it?
Everyone wants it, and they want it all!
Shi Yiwen, who was by the side, just watched quietly, drinking tea while listening to them talking about their reasons in dialects with completely different pronunciations.

In fact, it was the language that divided the overseas Chinese community. This is why after the end of the Qing Dynasty, the insightful overseas Chinese established Chinese schools while teaching Mandarin, and united the Chinese community through a unified language. However, their efforts were too late. It can't change the overall situation.

Listening to their quarrel, although Shi Yiwen couldn't understand some dialects at all, he sighed in his heart.

No wonder they let people pick peaches.

There is no benefit yet.

Even if the thirty cannons were arguing with each other until their faces were red and their necks were thick, they wished to draw their swords to face each other. If the benefits were greater, wouldn't they have to fight him to the death?Can this prevent outsiders from taking advantage?
divide and conquer...

No wonder it has been 100 years, but the city of Hoi An still bears the name of an Annan!
If it was replaced by Europeans in this era, there would be tens of thousands of European immigrants, let alone Hoi An City, it is estimated that the entire Annan would be occupied by Europeans.

There is no end to internal fighting, and the final end can only be a cheap outsider!

It's not just a cheap outsider, in the end, there is not even a scum left after being eaten by others.

Looking at them like this, Shi Yiwen's eyes became more and more contemptuous, and even his face changed a little, and he couldn't help but sneer at the end.

Perhaps sensing the change in his expression, Li Guinan suddenly said loudly.

"Why are we arguing? If there is a young master, let's just ask the young master to uphold justice for us!"

Li Guinan's reminder made everyone realize that the present is different from the past, there will be big people here!

"justice?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.

"I don't know what justice is. By the way, Li Dong's family, where are you from?"
