The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu waved his hand indifferently, and said: "You think too much, the main thing is just wanting you to build a ship.

The most valuable thing in this world is not only gold..."

Hearing this, the British Duke was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Fang Xiu looked at him with a very serious expression, and said, "It's very simple, for example, we discovered another piece of land, and the people on that land still lived a hundred years ago, and they didn't know what ceramics were or what glass was.

what should you do "

"..." The British prince showed doubts on his face, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, sighed, and said, "It's very simple.

If they have other good things, such as various gems, such as various grains, such as gold and silver.

At this time, there is no difference between this continent and the land of gold! "

Hearing this, the British Duke still had a puzzled look on his face, completely unable to understand what Fang Xiu was talking about.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu sighed.

He regretted having said this to the British public.

As far as his IQ is concerned, he can't even figure out the huge profit in it.

So, he continued to explain: "If the people on that continent are very martial, it would be very difficult for even my master of Great Chu to defeat them.

Then, we can use the already cheap colored glaze in Dachu to exchange gold and silver with them.

Then, use these gold and silver to go to the capital to buy colored glaze, and then transport them to that continent to exchange for gold and silver.

Repeatedly, endlessly, just a few times, the originally worthless glass has become a ship full of gold, do you understand? "

The words had already been said so clearly, the British Duke nodded with a vague understanding.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu shook his head, thinking that this person had no chance, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

At this time, Duke Ying didn't know what he thought of, raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and asked: "But most of the colored glaze in this capital is produced by you yourself.

The production of other workshops has been smashed by your people.

Is it still necessary to exchange gold and silver for colored glaze? "

"..." Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that the British Duke was even more stupid than he imagined.

Especially in terms of trade.

"I'm just saying like...like, you know!?"

The Englishman nodded.

Still looking thoughtful.

After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Then if the people in that continent don't practice martial arts, how can my master of Great Chu easily defeat them?"

this problem......

It's a good question, at least better than the last one.

Fang Xiu picked up the teacup, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "Since this is the case, it will be easier..."

Just now, before speaking, the British Duke seemed to understand something, and asked himself and answered: "I know! You can include them in my Dachu!"

"..." Fang Xiu looked at him speechlessly, and asked, "What about after being included in Da Chu?"

"This..." The British public was puzzled.

Fang Xiu looked at him, sighed, and continued: "It's very easy to be included in Dachu, but what about after that?

It's not that simple. First of all, those places are far away from Kyoto Prefecture. It may take dozens of days or even half a year for a letter to be sent to Kyoto Prefecture.

How are His Majesty's orders and court documents sent there? "

The Englishman was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Yup!

How to send it there?

Chapter 727 His Royal Highness King Kang wants to see you!

The British Duke was still in a state of confusion, but Fang Xiu continued: "Secondly, what's the benefit to the court of bringing that place into the Great Chu?

How much grain and how much silver can the imperial court receive? "

The British Duke shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

Fang Xiu looked at him, sighed leisurely, and said, "Therefore, some things are not as simple as you imagined."

Hearing this, the British Duke looked thoughtful and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Fang Xiu looked at him, wanting to kick him very much, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, but said: "In the past, how did these people deal with them?"

"act as......"

As soon as the British Duke opened his mouth, he understood something, his eyes widened, he looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, and asked, "You mean..."

Fang Xiu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said flatly: "I don't mean anything, don't think about it.

All in all, as long as the boat leaves Jinzhou Prefecture and Dachu, it will always be able to earn money.

As long as a new land is discovered, it is a land of gold, do you understand? "

These words are a bit like the elders teaching the younger ones.

But in terms of age, the British Duke is three or forty years older than Hugh.

But the British public had to admit it.

In some respects, Fang Xiu, this little bastard, is indeed much stronger.

According to him, it must be shipbuilding!

And the more ships you build, the more money you earn.

All in all, just two words - good!

Thinking of this, the British Duke showed a smile on his face, and said: "This ship is not so easy to build.

Although my Great Chu has no sea ban, there are still a few people who go out to sea to fish, and even if there are, they are only small boats.

Those fishermen didn't have the money to build big boats, so it was the first time for the old man to build a boat.

You should also know that there are many things that are unavoidable for the first time.

The old man is in Jinzhou Prefecture, and three ships were built together, using different drawings and different boatmen.

A few days ago, news came from Jinzhou Prefecture that a ship had sunk.

Now there are only two ships left, and it is estimated that they will be built in a few days. After they are built, will they be able to go to sea?

After going to sea, how long can you sail.

What to do with the supplies along the way, these are all problems.

And they are all problems that cannot be solved in a short time.

The old man has never brought a sailor, but the reason is the same.

When at sea, what should the sailors do if they miss their homeland, and what should they do if they are sick.

What if you encounter pirates.

What if a new land is discovered.

These are all questions. "

When the British Duke said this, Fang Xiu looked at him with admiration.

Fortunately, it is a British public. Although he doesn't understand trade, he has a very thorough understanding of other aspects.

Indeed, as the British Duke said, these are all problems!

Once it is not handled properly, the entire ship, and even the fleet in the future, may be destroyed!

A thoughtful look appeared on Fang Ming's face.

After a while, he waved his hand and said lightly, "Leave these things aside and take your time. Nothing can be accomplished overnight."

Hearing this, the British public was a little speechless.

It's not like this kid's style.

Sure enough, the next second, Fang Xiu said again: "Anyway, so many ships are not mine, I will wait for you to succeed, and follow your path."

"..." The British Duke was helpless.

But there is no way.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea.

Chatted for a while about the 'Golden Land'.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the yard.

A servant walked quickly to Fang Xiu's side, stood upright, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, there is something..."

Speaking of this, he stopped and looked up at the British Duke.

Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "The British Duke is his own, so if there is anything, it's okay to say."

"Yes, young master!" The young man looked at his young master and said, "His Royal Highness King Kang ordered you to go to the palace."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly taken aback, and glanced at the British Duke.

The British Duke was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, both looking a little surprised.

They said it when they discussed it before.

For a narrow-minded person like Kang Wang, even with top counselors, it would be difficult for him to accomplish great things.

Even in some aspects, he is not as good as King Ning.

Didn't expect...

What happened a few days ago, he came to the door today.

really...

Fang Xiu shook his head, and said flatly, "Tell Kang Wang that Lord Ben is not free."

"Yes, Master!"

The boy responded, turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Xiu stopped him and said, "Stop!"

"Young Master, what else do you want?" The boy asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said again: "You can say what I said just now, don't change a single word!"

"Yes, Master!"

The boy responded, turned and left.

After he left.

Fang Xiu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Did you see it, how did I say it?

Believe it or not, this time, King Kang will never be the same again!

After a while, he will let me go to the palace again. There may be some wording, but the content is quite the same.

Presumably, if I insist on not going in the end, he will do other things.

For example, if you come here to pick me up, you want to trap me in unrighteousness, infidelity and filial piety.

Or tell the whole Kyoto Prefecture about this matter, so that the common people can see what my new Anhou looks like.

Otherwise, it is to make a fuss about women's imperial examinations. "

Hearing this, the British Duke looked at Fang Xiu with a slightly different look.
