There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 465 The Emperor of the Sea

In fact, Fang Bie was not very surprised.

When Guo Sheng said that this is a warship running in the ocean.

After all, the tank boats on the canal can be transported big, small, and not too small, but a big ship like the one in front of me is four or five feet high, and it is really a bit scary to build.

Among other things, the sailors alone may have seven or eight hundred people.

Without people, this ship is simply impossible to play.

It is completely different from the boat that Shang Jiuge sailed from the Yellow River Seventeen Pirates back then.

But the question is, since this is a warship that was originally going to go to the ocean, how could it appear in the inland water of the canal and then fall into Guo Sheng's hands.

Fang Bie just looked at Guo Sheng, waiting for him to give him an answer.

"Curious?" Guo Sheng said slowly.

Fang Bie nodded: "No surprise, just a little curious."

It is not surprising because Guo Sheng is indeed capable of producing such a large ship, but I am very curious why Guo Sheng sent such a large ship and what is the origin of this large ship.

Because Guo Sheng only agreed to send Fang Bie a boat, in Fang Bie's original opinion, it would be enough to fit eight people in the Xiaohun Inn plus one Huo Ying, but such a big ship can hold three to five hundred people. People who don't breathe are exaggerated.

But there is no need to send such a large ship.

"Of course there is a reason for everything." Guo Sheng leaned on the railing along the boat, feeling the river wind blowing in his face: "Do you know what is the most profitable business in the world?"

Guo Sheng asked like this.

I know that the most profitable business in the world is written on the penalty.

Fang Bie thought in his heart, then shook his head and looked at Guo Sheng: "You are a businessman, of course you know better than me."

"The most profitable business in the world is ocean trade, which means voyages to the West." Guo Sheng looked at Fang Bie and said, "Such a ship, filled with silk tea and porcelain in Quanzhou Port, can sell for a thousand dollars in Shenzhou." Goods of two taels of silver can be sold for three taels of silver in Dongying, five taels of silver in Daqin Persi, and more than ten taels of silver in Frangji.”

I know this.

Fang Bie said in his heart, in fact, if you really want to know, I can also teach you the triangular trade, which is only dozens of times the profit for a trip, but it is a bit detrimental.

"So, the Guo family is also involved in the maritime trade?" Fang Bie looked at Guo Sheng and asked.

"In business and business, sometimes the plate becomes too big, and I can't help myself." Guo Sheng said lightly: "As long as it is a profitable business, the Guo family will be involved. After the land is done, then they will try the sea. .”

"But now that the imperial court enforces a sea ban, the slabs are not allowed to enter the sea, and there is a lot of Japanese pirates in the southeast. I'm afraid it's not easy to do business at sea." Fang Bie said.

"I didn't expect you to know the style of the southeast." Guo Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Fang Bie say this: "Yes, the business in the southeast is not very easy, and the Japanese pirates are rampant, but when it comes to Japanese pirates, just There's another case."

Saying this, Guo Sheng smiled, looked around, and then said slowly: "Have you heard of Wang Zhi?"

Fang Bie's expression changed slightly, and then he forcibly remained calm, really trying not to panic: "Are you talking about Wang Zhi who is known as King Hui?"

Wang Zhi is really a very famous person, it's strange that Fang Bie hasn't heard of it.

But hearing it here, Fang Bie doubted whether the Wang Zhi Guo Sheng mentioned was the Wang Zhi he knew.

"Exactly." Guo Sheng sighed: "He is Han, but he has started a big business in Dongying, and the things on the southeast sea are basically decided by the captain of Wufeng."

"And this ship, he originally asked me to customize it."

"It's just because something happened in the middle that he couldn't come to receive the goods."

"What is it?" Fang Bie asked curiously.

"Many people think Wang Zhi is a pirate leader, but in my opinion, Wang Zhi is more of a businessman. After all, he is doing business at sea now. If he doesn't have a guy in his hand, he has no confidence. It is only by robbing ships." There is no future, and the only way to make money is to be able to master a mature airline business route."

"Nowadays, eight out of ten commercial routes on the sea are controlled by the king of Hui." Guo Sheng talked eloquently: "My Guo family has been established for three generations since my grandfather's generation, and now it has been accumulated for 70 years. It's only today's weather, and this Wang Zhi, in less than 20 years, has accumulated wealth that has almost surpassed that of the Guo family. This way of making money is really jealous of everyone, but it is true that he wants to get his hands on it There are thousands of difficulties."

"In short, after Wang Zhi's business grew, he always wanted to go ashore for nothing." Guo Sheng looked at Fang Bie and said.

Fang Bie smiled: "Are you recruiting?"

At this time, it's time for Li Kui's younger brother to go out: Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an.

"Yes, Zhaoan." Guo Sheng didn't smile.

"After all, Wang Zhi is not too young now. He has spent half his life wandering at sea, and when he gets old, he always wants to return to his hometown with fallen leaves and clothes."

"And don't think that the government regards him as a bandit, but in Yingzhou, the captain of the Wufeng ship is really powerful. In the southeast boundary, he can also be called the emperor of the sea."

"Then how much is his reward? Is it 15 billion?" Fang Bie said suddenly.

"Amount of reward?" Guo Sheng didn't go around this corner for a while.

In fact, there are really not many people who can go around this bend.

"Then it seems that there is no more, and the Four Emperors are not so easy to be." Fang Bie said with a smile: "Don't talk to me, you can continue talking."

"Okay." As for Fang Bie's tendency to talk nonsense sometimes, Guo Sheng has experienced it before, so he doesn't care too much.

Probably in the eyes of others, Fang Bie also belongs to the type with some radio waves.

"In short, Wang Zhi is in contact with the government recently, and is preparing to accept the recruitment. On the one hand, he is to obtain the approval of the court, and on the other hand, he is also looking for a home for his brother who is doing nothing."

"Of course, Wang Zhi's recruitment is not just talking."

"He wants to negotiate terms with the government."

"Are you talking about conditions?" Fang don't look at Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng nodded: "Yes, let's talk about terms."

"If the imperial court agrees, he will give 200% of his annual income to the imperial court as taxes, which is almost [-] million taels of silver in revenue this year."

Fang Bie nodded. If it was Wang Zhi, he would have an income of 1000 million a year, so Fang Bie would not be surprised at all.

After all, what to say?

After the Great Zhou Dynasty implemented the sea ban, all the ocean-going trade was basically taken over by this Wang Zhiwei, 1000 million taels of silver, really nothing to worry about.

"Eliminate the sea ban, and open the port to the city." Guo Sheng said these eight words quietly.
