Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight amazing wealth
After coming out of the capital, Zhu Yunwen followed Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's convoy for more than half a month and finally arrived at the pier in Quanzhou. At this time, under the arrangement of the old guy, the sea ship for the owner was already waiting here.
At this time, the preparations for going out to sea had stopped. Zhu Yunwen got off the carriage and got on the big ship directly. Then he drove towards the Sishui God of Wealth Island.
Zhu Yunwen first saw Dahai, and he seemed a little excited when he stood on the deck. Then, under the guidance of the boss of the ship, he turned the three layers of the ship up and down, and then said to Gui Bugui: "I heard that the Sishui was rich enough to rival a country, but I didn't expect that it would be so rich. I had never heard of such a big ship before. When I was the crown prince, I had seen several official ships on the Qinhuai River. However, compared with the big ships here, it can only be regarded as small sampan..."
After Gui Bugui smiled and said, "This bad guy cannot be put on my head. This is left by Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan's two children. I just picked up a ready-made bargain."
At this time, the manager who stayed on the ship of the Sishui River found Gui Bugui. He hesitated for a moment and then whispered a few times in the old man's ear. However, Gui Bugui smiled and pushed away, saying, "What's that sneaky? Just say anything, old man, I didn't say anything behind my back..."
After hesitating for a while, the manager said with a smile: "The old boss Liu Xi has prepared all the books of the Sishui number over the years. He said that you have to float for about ten days on the sea. By the way, check the accounts of the years and just hand them over directly when you arrive at the God of Wealth Island. Now the books are ready, and you can check them at any time."
"What are you doing?" Gui Bugui smiled and shook his head, and continued, "Anyway, it was also something you two bosses gave away for free. My old man seems to be picky about the accounts here. It is reported that I, the new owner of Sishui, is still a human being?"
"Brothers have to settle the accounts clearly, what's the matter?" After hearing Gui Bugui's words, Zhu Yunwen, who was standing beside him, became interested. He walked over and said to the old guy: "Old Xiansheng, please check their account of Sishui. Let me also see how rich this buyer is..."
At this time, Bai Wuqiu, who was also curious in his heart, followed: "I am standing by the little emperor this time. I must know how much advantage you have taken? I also want to know how much inheritance I can get once you have a few things."
Gui Bugui smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's do it... Otherwise, I'm worried that the silly boy would attract the sirens to take my life on the way."
At that moment, the manager invited them all to the deck. Then the sailors asked the sailors to withdraw all the accounts placed in the cabin below. They originally thought that if they had money, they would be almost done with one or two hundred books. Unexpectedly, the sailors walked up and down for more than an hour, and finally the books filled the deck and piled up high.
After seeing the account books set in color, the manager pulled Gui Bugui and others around the account books and said as he walked: "There are 79,329 books in total. You see, the yellow cover here is the accounts of the Sishui and Middle-earth. The blue cover is the accounts of Persia, and the white cover is the accounts of India and South China."
At this time, even Gui Bugui was straightened. After rubbing his eyes, the old guy said, "Didn't your two old bosses have moved out all the accounts since the establishment of the Sishui number? It will take two or three hundred years for me to finish reading it?"
"You are telling a joke, these are just accounts of Sishui over the past ten years." The manager pointed at the accounts on the deck with a smile. After pausing, he continued: "In the past ten years, some newly built shops have been transferred, and some shops have been closed for checkout. In addition to these, the surplus of shops and the surplus of caravans. In recent years, Sishui has also acquired some mining rights in Persia and India, as well as local land, and working together with local governments..."
"Okay, don't say so much, just talk about how much money the Sishui can get in a year, right?" Bai Wuqiu was dizzy when he heard it. At that moment, it stopped the still-talking manager. After pausing for a moment, he continued to say, "I asked how much money I can make in a year? You Sishui is my own sooner or later. Now you have to pay close attention, don't let this old guy lose all..."
The manager knew Bai Wuqiu's identity. He looked at Gui Bugui, smiled awkwardly, and continued: "Because the money and goods are different in various places, Persia has a lot of money and Middle-earth has a lot of silver. If all of them are converted into silver, last year..."
While speaking, the manager knelt on the deck and found a golden cover account book. Then he opened the account book and said, "The surplus of Sishui Province in each year is about 80 million taels... But it is not counted as jewelry and other items. According to the rules, those treasures are the owner's private warehouse. I can't know how much the two owners have. It doesn't include the inventory of grain, silk and other items. According to the rules, these goods are not sold, so they cannot be used as a price. You also know that such goods are priced at a day..."
"Eighty million taels are still up and down..." Before Bai Wuqiu could speak, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were already glaring. He was an emperor and had seen the world. However, he was still shocked by this number. The tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only a few million taels of silver in a year, and the Sishui number was more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty...
At this time, Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said to Gui Bugui: "Old immortal, I regret it... I should have given you the country and traded it with you for the Sishui number..."
Gui Bugui was also shocked by this number. At this time, he completely understood why Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan gave him such a rich deal. Sishui is so rich that their abilities can no longer suppress such a huge wealth. He has to worry about losing his life every day because of the drag on wealth. It would be better to give Sishui to someone who can suppress it...
After knowing the surplus of Sishui, these people wanted to know how much money the Sishui account is now. However, the manager could only take it out and share the accounts. The general account had to wait until they arrived at the God of Wealth Island and personally get it from Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan.
At that moment, Gui Bugui had no intention of checking the accounts. The old guy just got the golden cover account book from the manager. When someone was transporting the remaining tens of thousands of books, he suddenly heard the voice of the boss of the ship from the deck below: "Boss! There are our merchant ship of the Sishui River, and the Persian officials with the banner on the ship. According to the rules, they should come to pay their respects. Should they let the Persians come and meet..."
"If you have anything to meet, please let them do whatever they should do, don't delay the business." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "It's better to see each other sooner or later, it's better to see you now."
After the boss of the ship below agreed, a sound of drumming came from the downstairs. After a drumming sound, the ship opposite should have responded. Unexpectedly, the ship opposite had no response, but he slowly drove towards their ship along the channel.
The boss of the ship made a drumbeat again, but he still didn't wait for the response from the ship opposite. The matter became strange. After discussing with Gui Bugui, the boss of the ship sent two small boats to check.
Just as the two small boats were sailing towards the opposite sea boat, a fog suddenly appeared on the sea surface. Then the fog became heavier and heavier. After a while, the two small boats had disappeared into the fog. At the beginning, the three ships could still communicate with each other in the drum language, but not long after the drum language of the two small boats disappeared. No matter how the big ship made the drum language, there was no reply...
