Ming dynasty grand dude

There are 3 goose feather arrows and more than [-] steel knives.

So Lao Huozhai was very satisfied. With these, he would have no problem sweeping the Tatar tribes on the Nine Sides.

Li Dongyang was also very satisfied. In the transaction, Daming got more than [-] horses and [-] cattle.

There are 12 sheep and more than [-] Oala prisoners of war.

The remaining horse meat, beef jerky, mutton jerky... etc., as well as cowhide, sheepskin, mink...

The household department and the military department bargained with the cargo farming association for a long time and finally settled the settlement.

After the settlement was completed, Li Dongyang was shocked to find out that this f*cking war really made money!

Originally, Lao Li was still very distressed about the expenditures for the National Defense Army to build and support the army, even if it came from the internal treasury, he was very distressed.

But after calculating their income from this battle, Lao Li suddenly felt relieved.

On the side of the prisoners of war, because they were not prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, they bought out five years of hard labor.

Eight taels for a young and strong person, three to five taels for old and young women and children, the average is about six taels.

For the prisoners of war alone, the Cargo Society needs to pay 72 taels of silver.

16 live sheep, regardless of size, count as two liang.This is [-] taels.

There are also [-] live cattle, all kinds of fur, and all kinds of dried meat...

Calculated together, the total income is about 130 million taels.

However, the food, fodder, monthly silver, chariots and horses consumed by the troops this time have totaled about 40 taels so far.

Even if it is another 40 taels for the follow-up reward silver, Daming can still earn more than 50 taels after this battle!

As soon as he thought of this, Lao Li was full of grass and mud horses galloping!

This war...how can you make money? !

Chapter 544 Old Thinking Li Xiya, War Bonus Jade Chihu

Seeing Grandpa Zhang send the fire screen away, Li Dongyang came to Grandpa Zhang's RV with full of doubts.

In order to cope with the arrival of winter, the careful housekeeper Zhou has already laid the flue in the RV.

At the same time, in order to maintain humidity, housekeeper Xiao Zhou still uses a coal stove to heat water steam into the flue for heating.

This makes Zhang Xiaogong's entire garage not only warm, but also not dry at all.

Seeing Young Master Zhang sitting on the couch with a smile on his face, the old guy's forehead suddenly jumped a little bit.

Lao Li's eyeballs are not poisonous, and he can tell at a glance that the collapsed foundation is a whole piece of huanghuali.

If you want to make such a large amount of material, I am afraid that it will not be possible if the tree is less than a hundred years old.

And if you want to make this collapsed board, you have to open it and place it for a year to let it rot naturally in the wind and rain.

Only the stored core material can be used for board making.

Apparently this slum is made of this whole wood, the base plate, the back plate and the assistants on both sides.

Needless to say, the sculptor on the couch, this "big peng spreading its wings, splendor, mountains and rivers, hundreds of boats and thousands of sails, repeatedly carved and inlaid with hundreds of treasures, pearls, jade flowers and pears"...

It was so extravagant that Lao Li was trembling just looking at it.

Just the seven thumb-sized Yingying golden pearls skillfully inlaid on it, how much silver does this cost? !

Not to mention the bead inlaid on the top of the cave, that bead is colorful under the light, and it looks like a god's eye is embedded in it.

Not to mention someone else, even Li Dongyang didn't know where the bead was produced.

"This is the 'Pearl of Bao', which was presented to His Majesty by Mr. Hong from the Northern Guangdong Merchant Breeding Association. It was also given by His Majesty..."

Butler Xiao Zhou is such a sober person, he quickly bowed and explained to Li Dongyang in a low voice.

Yes, abalone also produces pearls.

However, the proportion of pearls produced by abalone is extremely low, about one in 25.

And it takes longer than mussels. The pearls in abalones that are at least ten years old can reach a certain thickness.

The pearls produced by abalone have their own characteristics, that is, they are full of light and colorful.

It's just that its shape is difficult to fix, and many of them have strange shapes.Mostly shark-toothed or strip-shaped.

Or the size is too small and the luster is not enough. In later generations, even abalone pearls the size of a thumbcap and with ordinary luster will need [-] abalone beads to start.

If it is of such fineness as the one inlaid on Young Master Zhang's current couch, I'm afraid it will have to go directly to the auction house.

The starting price is 20, and the price increases by [-] per lot.

If the market is good and a designer wants to win an award with it, it is not impossible to throw down 300 million yuan to take this bead.

In the Ming Dynasty, when the production capacity and fishing capacity were lower than those of later generations, the value of such abalone pearls was even more inestimable.

"Zhuangzi don't say that 'Life has a limit, but knowledge has no limit'. This old man only heard that abalone has pearls at this age!"

Li Dongyang smiled wryly and sighed: "If the world is big, the old man is trapped and doesn't know it!"

He expressed his feeling that this Ming Dynasty is getting better and better now.

However, it also made him more and more unfamiliar. Under the drastic changes, it seemed that all previous cognitions were constantly being overturned.

""The Book of Rites · Qu Lishang said, 'Knowledge is strong and let go, and good deeds are not lazy. You are called a gentleman'..."

Young Master Zhang stood up with a smile, asked the elder to sit down and said softly, "Mr. Xi Ya is a real gentleman!"

The two parties sat down, and Miao An offered the tea with her almond eyes blinking.

Then obediently waited aside, looking at the old man curiously.

Li Dongyang, Li Ge Lao, is also rumored to be a child prodigy.

It is said that when he was four years old, he was able to wave a brush to make it as big as a ruler. Dai Zong heard that he summoned the emperor to see him.

If you can, Daqi.

Give the fruit money back, and order more to take care of it.

"I'm afraid Xi Yagong didn't come to see the boy for tea?!"

Everyone sit down, they are all human beings!Naturally, we want to talk about Zishi Jingji, piano, chess and paintings.

Let's talk about the scenery outside the Great Wall, and then we start to turn to the core topic.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Zhang smiled and said softly to Li Dongyang: "Mr. Xi Ya, do you have some advice?!"

"No, the old man came here to ask for advice..."

Li Dongyang shook his head and smiled wryly, and raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Xiaogong when he saw that he wanted to be humble.

Then he threw out his own questions one by one, this war... how can it make money? !

And it's not just as simple as earning money temporarily, counting the huge benefits that will be brought later...

This battle is simply not worth it, just getting rid of the border troubles is already worth a million taels a year!

The border troubles made it difficult for Daming to sleep and eat, and this was not only the need for a large amount of military salary to maintain every year.

It is even more necessary to calculate the losses caused by the Tatar knocking on the pass, repair the city walls and castles, and build swords, guns and armor.

The money that had to be burned, the money that was maintained, and the money that was lost before and after were more than a million dollars? !

Guochao also had to maintain food and fodder on the border, hoarding a large amount of supplies for the expedition.

It's all silver up and down!

"War always pays dividends. Otherwise, why would the former emperor Taizu conquer the world?!"

Young Master Zhang couldn't help sighing softly as he spoke.

After all, this old man is old, and his inertial thinking prevents him from getting out of his own circle.

Then Yu Chihu walked to the window of the RV and opened it.

The cold wind of "Hu~" poured in, making his clothes rattle.

Miao An quickly took the fox fur hanging on the side, and ran to the side of Young Master Zhang to put it on him.

"Grand Xiya, can you see all the sentient beings outside?!"

The sunshine on the prairie did not tan Young Master Zhang, but under the ultraviolet rays, his jade-like face glowed with fluorescence.

"All sentient beings, what they want is to live..."

Wearing fox fur, Zhang Xiaogong's voice seemed a little ethereal.

The strong wind lifted his fox fur slightly, and the warm winter day lightly sprinkled on his face.

"The warehouse will be bustling with people, running thousands of miles. In the end, it's all about profits..."

Li Dongyang stood by the window, silently watching the busy people outside.

Those prairie men, old people and women, with smiles on their faces, carried food, cloth and briquettes home.

There are also stoves, iron woks, and some people are carrying cattle and sheep to bargain with people from the Huoyihui.

The Tatars were speaking the half-baked Ming Mandarin, while the merchants wearing the clothes with the logo of the Merchant Society were speaking the half-baked Tatar.

"Why does the Tatar knock on the pass so frequently?! There is no one else, just to survive."

Grandpa Zhang turned around, looked at Li Dongyang and said softly: "Why did you leave the customs?! Without him, he is just trying to survive for the people of our empire."

"It is profit for the common people to survive. It is profit for merchants to seek wealth. It is profit for the stability of the empire."

"A man who fights must win. If there is no gain, the war will lead to the decline of the country..."

Young Master Zhang is actually tearing up in his heart now, how should he explain to Li Dongyang the dividends produced by the war? !

Chapter 545 Old Thinking Li Xiya, War Bonus Jade Chihu

The dividends of war can be divided into many pieces.

The outstanding characters of Junyuan Pavilion!

Zhang Xiaogong only needs to leak a little bit, and the old guy can dig out its core.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit..."

Li Dongyang seemed to be thinking for a long time before he looked up at the busy, red-faced Daming people and Tatars who were bargaining outside and sighed.

With a wry smile, he said, "Taishi Gongcheng does not deceive me!"

"As long as this matter is handled properly, it will take ten years, at most 20 years. The Tatars will all belong to Ming Dynasty, and guard the frontier for Daming!"

If Li Dongyang was 20 years younger, maybe he would be able to figure it out without even asking Mr. Zhang.

Just like Wang Shouren who is busy in the capital now, but now Wang Shouren is full of numbness and criticism.

Because of the Ming Empire's first bear child, Gou Duzi's junior, the royal prince, Xian's egg pain, Zhu Houzhao, he started to make trouble again.

Xiongzi couldn't satisfy him with going to the Ordnance Construction Department every day, so Xiongzi started to find a new job for himself.

In history, he should be playing cockfights, walking dogs, and playing in a leopard house right now.

However, Liu Jin, the treacherous official in history, is busy with the departure of the car dealership.

They are earning money, so they really don't have time to entice the brats to go to cockfights and walk their dogs.

Zhang Yong was competing with himself, thinking that when the ancestor Dai Yi came back, he would be transferred to the front line to kill a few people for military merit.

Besides, bear children don't only know how to listen to the lectures of Confucian scholars like in history.

At any rate, he is now a big boss with several million taels of silver, not to mention that the capital is even the Ming Dynasty, and there are few people who can be more knowledgeable than him.

So the ordinary cockfighting, walking the dog, and the leopard house are too boring in the eyes of the bear boy Zhu Houzhao.

Fall!Who is this palace? !It's Daming's number one bear... Bah!He is Daming's No. [-] planner and war trader!

Can you play with those dandies? !When Bengong raised his hand, it was worth several million taels of silver!

play those? !shame!Fall! !
