Chapter 77 Maritime Friendship Association(1/2)

After the painting was explained to the sect, he left Qinzhou in ancient times. There was no trace of mud and water.

If others are not at ease, can Da Song be uneasy?

This is my own time travel, bringing knowledge and vision from later generations. If the Song Dynasty had experienced this in later generations, I still don’t know what changes would have caused to the Tang Dynasty.

Song Hao only heard about the scene when Wang Hua left Bianzhou and Huazhou, but did not see it. This time he finally saw it. He heard that Wang Hua was about to leave. Before dawn, he lined up from the city to the port, and countless people came.

Just like this, Wang Hua, more than a dozen masters and the guards who came, slowly set out to the port, some shouted: "Envoy Wang, go all the way."

Some of them lay down on the ground and cried bitterly.

Some people in the cave did not know etiquette. Although it was reported that the officials later were also good officials, Wang Hua gave them too much kindness. Not only did he cry, he also beat his chest and stamped his feet, just like his parents who died, even their parents were not so sad.

Wang Hua felt his nose sore and regretted not leaving secretly at night.

In fact, it was not that serious. In the following years, Qinzhou and several other states were governed in the Song Dynasty and had a smooth transition. After his departure, he almost occupied the same position and even the same wealth as Guangzhou in Lingnan.

He kept watching Wang Hua's golden Anle ships sailing far away. All the people were still standing in the port, as if they had lost their souls. Only the Song Dynasty, if it were other officials, they would feel a huge pressure on their shoulders when facing this scene. After Wang Hua left, another incident in Qinzhou attracted everyone's attention.

The Eighteen Family, the Wang Family in Taiyuan, and the Persians initiated it, of course, there is Wang Hua behind it. But Wang Hua is an official, so it is difficult to stand directly on the table.

This event was to organize a maritime association. In order to achieve the smooth existence and development of this association, Wang Hua donated the mansion he had lived for his servants and the princes as the meeting site.

At the end of the year, this meeting was a pioneering event. In addition to these twenty, there were also major families such as the Lu family in Suzhou, Gu family, Hangzhou family, Lanling Xiao family, Runzhou Ji family, as well as the great commoners of the Tang Dynasty, which had a total of more than 100 families.

At this time, I saw the role of Song Mule.

If there were no Song Dynasty, if it were other officials, half of them might not be interested in Qinzhou. Moreover, the Song Dynasty had a good personal relationship with Wang Hua, and Wang Hua would not harm the Song Dynasty. In fact, 300,000 materials were left to the Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty would continue to develop water conservancy.

Moreover, Wang Hua asked his adviser, or Zhu Quan, a counselor from the Wang family in Taiyuan, to stay and preside over the meeting in person. Anyway, everyone is not very clear about Zhu Qi's current identity. The parties involved do not mention this matter in a vague way.

Zhu Quan also brought the Song Dynasty over.

Song Hao was a little curious. Wang Hua just said that he would preside over two meetings at the end of the year and next spring in March to establish a maritime association, which would play an important role in Qinzhou's future development, and he did not mention anything else.

Zhu Quan was the first to speak.

I talked about the development of the sea directly, which happened in the past few years. It was rarely related to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but it developed very quickly in recent years.

However, Zhu Quan changed his mind and immediately asked a question sharply, because there was no organization, many people had very few transactions in order to increase profits and directly plundered. The place where they passed was like a locust plague, they robbed money and people robbed them.

The number was small, and it was impossible to see, but now it was too large. The number of people on the coastal barbarians could hardly see it. Even if there were some, they were a few large tribes. They had strong power and they also took up weapons to resist.

As a result, it deteriorates. When sailing far away, there must be a supply point. Now that the loss of the supply point makes it difficult for ships to supply. Because of this, even the big umbrella and the sea merchants in the South China Sea have complained. It is okay if the Tang people are not good, but not my race, their hearts will be different. It may not be necessary to treat these barbarians very well. If they continue to be careful for a long time, the people along the coast will plunder them all, and then what should I do? At present, because there are probably indigenous people who will resist wherever they go, and they must wear a large number of weapons and guards on the ship, which undoubtedly increases the cost.

After this question was raised, everyone was silent.

I don’t know who asked Zhu Qi what to do. Many people still don’t know about Zhu Quan’s wisdom, but since Wang Hua kept him, he must have made careful arrangements.

Zhu Qi did not answer directly, but asked: "Everyone has seen the current situation in Qinzhou and knows the situation in Qinzhou before. Mr. Wang invested a lot of money, but you can think about it. From the beginning, how much money did Mr. Wang invested directly to the people? Later, with His Royal Highness the Princess, the Wang family, the Persians, the Eighteen families and merchants in Taiyuan, why did he spend the most money to invest in farm tools, the cultivation school and the teaching of farming techniques?"

After saying that, he said, "In fact, the profits are amazing when it comes to trading alone. Some people can buy more than a dozen ordinary porcelain bowls and exchange them for an ivory. However, the number of transactions is not large, so in order to make greater profits, all kinds of bad things have happened. But it is not possible to change a way of thinking. These natives are not civilized, and they can't even calculate the basic accounts. If they are allowed to farm, can we get a large amount of sugar cane for a very small amount of money, and even let them grow spices? After all, many spices are transported back to the Central Plains and lose their local fragrance. If we persist for a few years, the number of transactions will increase greatly and the profit margin will increase. In fact, these natives are equivalent to our disguised division, and it is not like the current complaints.

After hearing this, everyone understood what Zhu Quan meant.

But it was not that easy to deal with, so Zhu Quan continued to tell his plan or Wang Hua's plan.

First, organize a franchise to divide the coastal areas and be responsible for each. If someone continues to plunder the area, the franchise members will work together to snipe him at sea. Indigenous people in the divided area will also suppress them when they are dissatisfied.

At the same time, intelligence and resource sharing are shared. Not only do we enjoy news of production in various regions, but we also work together to operate domestic sales to obtain the greatest profit. At the beginning, there were more than 100 companies, and a group will be absorbed in spring. Once they are united, what effect will it have?

Song Hao smiled bitterly.

But if we don’t tie everyone together like this, the association will be nothing.

Moreover, in order to show public confidence, the Eighteen families first took out some of the information, but this information was not theirs, but was given by Wang Hua. Anyway, there was not enough manpower, so they waved their hands and went west from Kalimantan Island to Xiaoquan on the east coast of Africa. But the Luzon Islands were retained. This was not proposed, but everyone knew that Wang Hua gave up so many benefits, so they always had to leave a little for others.

In fact, this is a disguised encouragement of the major families of the Tang Dynasty to develop colonies overseas.

Everyone doesn’t know much about the great truth, but you can see at a glance how many benefits this division will bring, and there is even nothing to do, just like the legendary Zhang Zhongjian, who is an overseas king.

All were moved.

Moreover, the Eighteen families also said boldly that as long as they are from the association, they will give priority to building sea boats for them and enjoy a 10% discount.

The Wei family covered their heads when they heard this.

In this way, there was no 10% discount, and several maritime merchants came to their house to buy ships. Moreover, because of Wang Hua, the association excluded the Wei family. Later, some big figures oppressed them and the Wei family joined them, but the share was already a very small part, but it was still a very bad part.

But this is not over yet, Zhu Quan spoke again, and he was talking about another thing.

That is the Suez Canal. Wang Huazheng sent people to Dashi to negotiate with the Emperor Dashi. The whole canal is very long, more than 120 kilometers, but it is not useless. There are several lakes from north to south, which saves the construction date. Now, the largest ship is only about 1,000 tons, and no matter how big it is, it is estimated that it will not be built in one hundred or two hundred years. The deepest draft is only less than six meters, and unlike later ships, some drafts are more than twenty meters. Therefore, there is no need to excavate as deep.

Everyone still remembers the excavation of the Grand Canal. Yang Guang dug a Grand Canal and destroyed the country, which benefited the Tang Dynasty's canal. It was because the predecessors carried trees on their backs, and later generations continued to scold them. What are the benefits of digging this Grand Canal?

Zhu Quan gave them the answer, and he took out a large map, which, except for Africa, finally shyly showed some situations in Europe.

The most important country is Dashi. Dashi is now a very terrifying country. In the early Tang Dynasty, Mohammed was still in the area of ​​Yemen Saudi Arabia. Abu Boke (6 ugly and bloated) spread to the entire Arabian Peninsula. Omar (Mi) expanded to Iraq, Egypt and Libya, Ottoman and Ali (injured) to Armenia, Azerbaijan and Persia. Lumago (south, one must) conquered the entire Persia and bordered the Tang Dynasty. Later, it occupied the entire North Africa and Spain, and the Byzantine Empire had no power to fight back.

However, this has nothing to do with Wang Hua for the time being, at least has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty for the time being. They are still expanding and they can't remember to deal with the Tang Dynasty's biggest external troubles, the Turks and Tubo, and they can't even think about dealing with the cannibals.

Wang Hua valued the Mediterranean Sea, and there were many countries. Some countries and tribes of the Paipaier people in Northwest Africa were not occupied by the Great Food.

The Visigothic Kingdom in Europe will be occupied by the Arabs in a few years, and it will not be reindependenced as Spain after a few hundred. The Frankish Kingdom, the King of Byzantine paintings, which are the Eastern Roman Empire, called the Frisky by the Tang Dynasty. I can’t remember the detailed king paintings, but I still remember some of them.

There are many other small principalities.

Once the Persian Gulf is opened, you can trade with countries along the Mediterranean coast.

But this is a bit difficult to deal with, because the territory belongs to others, will the Great Cannibal agree? After the completion, whether Wang Hua can allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to participate in management can occupy a little direct benefit, or no benefits can be taken. Even when the construction is built, the Great Cannibal must occupy the main force, especially the labor force must be given. However, the amount of funds needed for Wang Hua to support must be negotiated. And it is a very difficult negotiation. Now Wang Hua's only foundation is that there are many Great Cannibal merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and they can only ask them for help.

Of course, after completion, it will have many benefits for the cannibals. However, the most important commodity economy, the center of the world, is still in the Tang Dynasty, which will be even more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and broaden the ideas of the Tang Dynasty. Don’t close the customs gate in the future, our country will be the largest and strongest.

And in this process, these merchants do not need to take out a penny, as long as the canal is built, they can enjoy their achievements. But only the merchants from the association can pass through the canal, and other merchants can not even think about it.

This news finally moved everyone.

If others would not believe it, but Wang Hua and the others believed it, just like he repeatedly said that there was a mainland existence in a certain place, or what kind of products or climate, and after the arrival, all of them were verified. Even after the imperial court heard about the Mayan Kingdom, the first office sent troops composed of Qi Yongsheng and set out north and searched for the country with eight wisdoms.

Da Song was stunned at first, which was beyond his knowledge recognition. Then he frowned and talked about profit throughout the meeting. But if he didn't talk about profit, would that businessman be moved?

But I know that there is one advantage that the establishment of this association is unstoppable. The general meeting is located in Qinzhou, which will be of great help to the development of Qinzhou in the future. No wonder Wang Hua finally said that as long as this matter is done well, it will play an important role. Not to mention anything else, the number of shipbuilding in the 18 docks will increase, which will make direct contributions to Qinzhou.

After explaining, Zhu Quan said, "But this cake is too big, no matter what, everyone here can't swallow it. Therefore, we have to contact more aristocratic families to join in. That is, we will gather together next spring to make the matter settled. After everyone goes back, we can recommend families with good moral character to continue to join in. March

After saying that, he packed all the information maps, rolled them up, and handed them over to representatives sent by the Eighteen families.

The meeting ended.

After coming out, almost everyone's eyes were confused, excited and stunned. Don't be anxious to be happy first. How to allocate resources and divide them in the future, and there is still a quarrel. But one thing is that some quarrels are definitely better than non-quarrels.

Zhu Quan returned to the Central Plains. Before leaving, the Song Dynasty sent him off, but it was not a good idea. Qinzhou didn't have to worry about it anymore, but what efforts he had put into it? It seemed that Wang Hua had arranged everything for him, and he knew he was here to support his old age.

Otherwise, how could Wang Hua say that he is Truman?

Wang Hua was not worried about Qinzhou when he was on the boat. There was the Song Dynasty and his own arrangements, so it was difficult for Qinzhou to break it.

It was just that a few princes were seasick, so they asked the ship to head north at the fastest speed. But on the boat, Mu Ji Li actually gave birth. Fortunately, there was no big problem. Just on the sea, Wang Hua gave a very loud name called Wang Hao (having nothing to do with someone).

This finally increased the vitality of the Wang family like Qinzhou.

The eldest son had nothing to do, so he took Wang Ting to climb on the deck like a boss.

Li Guer was very proud.

Mu Fangli and Li Hong had no choice but to contempt her in their hearts.

But there was a person who was very unhappy. Xiao Jincheng cried every day, and when he saw Suzhou, he was even more frowning. After entering the Yangtze River, she asked Wang Hua for money.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Wang Hua asked, "How much do you want?, small

"Ten thousand marriages

Ten thousand-dimensional? Wang Hua was shocked, but in the end he really gave it to her. But the little thing was playing tricks, and the boat relied on Suzhou Port to supplement the supply, and a group of princes also got off the boat. The little thing got off the boat. But she was not a clever plan, and took the opportunity to slip away with two close maids, trying to escape.

When she asked for money, Wang Hua could see that before she ran out of the city, she asked Wang Hua to send someone to catch her back.

He looked at Wang Hua very angry.

Wang Hua is depressed. It’s not me who asked you to marry a Tubo person. If you want to blame, you can only blame your adoptive father. And if I don’t arrest you, your adoptive father will arrest me.

Without explanation, he asked: "Your Highness, Princess, where are you running away? It will be the sky of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, you have two maids with ten thousand wedding money in them, just like putting hundreds of kilograms of explosives on a fire pit. You are still sitting on this fire pit and unwilling to get up.

If two little girls who don’t understand the world, if they don’t have the protection of the guards, they have so much money in their arms and are exposed, they will be robbed at the least, and at the worst, they may be killed by others for money.

“I won’t marry anyway

"You said you wouldn't marry if you don't marry? Princess Anle didn't want to marry at the beginning, but what was the result? And your father agreed, if you regret it now and fight between the two countries, can you afford the consequences?

"Do you want to push me into the fire pit, too?

"That's not necessarily the case. Princess Wencheng married Tubo. The Tubo people respected her so much. Besides, you are the real daughter of the imperial family.

. Speaking of this, Wang Hua felt a little embarrassed. He was so old that he had suffered all the humiliation after marrying him. In the end, he almost couldn't even save the child. So he thought about it and said, "But one thing, I can guarantee you that if the Tubo people treat you badly, I will definitely give you justice in the future and lead your troops to save you.

Why do people with no foreign people have nothing but a plateau reaction?

Not everyone has it, even Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng can tolerate it. Moreover, for ordinary men, as long as they choose suitable candidates, pick out soldiers who are not suitable for altitude sickness, wear more clothes to prevent colds, and eat more Rhodiola ten days in advance, it may not be impossible for Tubo to attack inland.

Moreover, Tubo is also an important object that Wang Hua wants to deal with. But now the opportunity has not come. Once the Tubo little kid doesn't hear it, Wang Hua will definitely send troops to Luoshecheng and teach Cui this little kid in person.

But he did not expect that Princess Jincheng took his words to heart, and immediately caused trouble after arriving in Tubo.

I comforted Xiao Jincheng and the ships also arrived in Yangzhou. Now that winter is coming, many rivers have ice, and the river boats are a little better, and they sail slowly with small ice. These five Anle ships do not want to be opened to navigation, so they have to stay next spring and transport them to the Wei River.

The group got off the warship and began to return to Chang'an from land.

But Wang Hua looked northwest and remained silent. The Song Dynasty lived in the Truman world he arranged, and began to be in a world without fighting, but he was about to fall into this vortex again.

After the painting was explained to the sect, he left Qinzhou in ancient times. There was no trace of mud and water.

If others are not at ease, can Da Song be uneasy?

This is my own time travel, bringing knowledge and vision from later generations. If the Song Dynasty had experienced this in later generations, I still don’t know what changes would have caused to the Tang Dynasty.
