Xu Shiling was very confident. He felt that he was a cruel person, instigating war, making money from both sides, and treating human life as grass. After he gained his foothold in India, he provided at least one million taels of gold, 15 million stones of grain to the Zhou Dynasty, and countless other rare treasures.

The things he offered were as high as three Luzons, and it was still increasing.

Xu Shiling wanted to take advantage of this fleet's opportunity to come to India to brag about his achievements and be better off getting a title.

At the banquet, he seemed careless, and said his thoughts, pricked his ears and listened to the opinions of the merchants.

A businessman named Li stood up. He was 70% drunk. His red rosacea had a shiny nose, like a big strawberry. He smiled and said, "General Xu, in my opinion, you are wrong!"

Xu Shiling paused the cup and said unhappily: "I'm wrong? What's wrong? If I can't explain a reason, I'll find ten untouchable women and let them accompany you!"

The businessman surnamed Li was so drunk that he was not afraid at all. If what I said was reasonable, what you could do to me?

"General Xu, I say this, but it's just that I have my own reason... Have you transported the food from India back to the Great Zhou?"

"That's right!" Xu Shiling said proudly: "I'm trying to help the court solve the problems. There are tens of millions of people, how can I do without food!"

The merchant surnamed Li shook his head, "General Xu, Liaodong is currently reclaiming a large area. In fact, the food shortage in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not big... and it is a huge loss to transport food from thousands of miles away."

Xu Shiling frowned and thoughtfully, "What should you do?"

“This is easy!”

The merchant surnamed Li immediately talked about it... When he arrived in India, he found that the local rice was very long and thick and as thick as sand, which was difficult to swallow. Of course, it was okay as a filler. A slightly more decent family would choose japonica rice from Jiangnan, and the wheat from Liaodong and Hetao were also delicious.

The rice in India can only be considered the lowest level. It is okay to store grain, but it is of little use.

Crossing the ocean, trying harder, a ship of food will make a limited profit. If you encounter losses in wind and waves, you will still lose money.

The businessman surnamed Li suggested not to force the grain from India. He should change his mind and encourage India to grow cotton and tea!

"General Xu, what is most lacking in the southeast now is cotton. The climate in Tianzhu is suitable. Grow cotton widely, transport it back and weave it into cloth, and then sell it to Tianzhu. The profit is at least three times that of the grain! The same is true for tea. If you plant cotton in Tianzhu, Dazhou can slow down the speed of annexation of land, and the Marquis will not use a butcher knife to hold it high. Do you think so?"

The merchants looked at each other, all laughed and gave their thumbs up!

Xu Shiling was stunned for a while and asked back: "The Indians changed to plant cotton, which was more expensive than food. Wouldn't they make more money?"

"Hahaha!" The businessman surnamed Li laughed wildly at the sky.

"General Xu, you are such an honest man!" The merchant surnamed Li shook his index finger and said with a smile: "They can make more money by changing to grow cotton, but they will definitely lack food. At this time, we can raise the price of grain and take out all the money they earn more!"

"And General Xu has thought that cotton and tea are not too hungry. As long as we hold on to the food channels, we can raise the price at any time... we can earn as much as we want!"

"Also, we can dump cloth, destroy Tianzhu's hand-made loom, then raise the price of Khmer cloth, and loot Tianzhu again!"

...

At a banquet, Xu Shiling felt lost when he heard it. The delicious dishes he carefully cooked and the pleasing dancers all lost their appeal.

After the banquet, he kept shaking his head!

There are some gaps that cannot be caught up with by studying hard.

Making money is one of them!

Xu Shiling tried his best and tried his best to find himself in his own way. He felt that he had already squeezed to the extreme. Even if there were some minor improvements, it was just icing on the cake.

But as soon as these merchants said that his entire direction was wrong!

In order to maintain domestic stability, the Great Zhou restricted the expansion of economic crops. In addition, grain prices were also not allowed to soar... On the one hand, the supply was relatively sufficient, and on the other hand, the prices were relatively stable.

Making money by making money by food is too small.

What we really need to do is not to snatch food from India and fill the stomachs of the Zhou people, but to transfer cash crops to India and slow down the speed of land annexation.

In this way, Tianzhu became the source of raw materials and market for the Dazhou, and could squeeze oil and water to the maximum extent.

Some people may ask, what should they do if they don’t have enough food when Tianzhu changes to plant cotton tea? The merchants just want to laugh three times, I care about them to die!

The Indians could not survive anymore, so they just took a knife to become slaves in Liaodong.

"Grandma, it's no wonder that the Marquis is guarding against them every day. These beasts are so damn bad! If they let go of their hands and struggle in the big circle, it will take a few years to make the heavens angry and resentful, and it will be out of control!"

Xu Shiling suddenly realized, then gritted his teeth and called a soldier.

"Go, prepare for one hundred, no, two hundred, a full two hundred untouchable women, treat these guys well! Black skin and black heart, just right!"

...

Ye Hua returned to Kaifeng from Jinling. In the huge Ye Mansion, he added a few little guys. First of all, Ye Xi's eldest son, the little bastard married Wang Pu's daughter early. Seven months later, Ye Hua's eldest granddaughter was born. Many people say that the child is too anxious and is afraid that it will not be easy to support him.

Only the Ye family knows that the child is not anxious, it is clearly the father is anxious!

The little girl gave birth in full term and weighed more than five kilograms!

He was only one year old and ran around the world, his little mouth was as sweet as if he had smeared honey, making his ancestor very happy.

In addition, Ye Wei married Guo Zongxun and became the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the second year after entering the uterus, Ye Wei became pregnant and gave birth to twins at once!

The two fat boys made Guo Zongxun very happy. He danced and immediately issued an order to grant the eldest son the King of Zhao and the second son the King of Wu.

The two little things who didn't know how to speak started to receive the prince's salary, which was so enviable.

Ye Wei is less than 20 years old. To be honest, she hasn't learned how to be a mother yet!

Moreover, Ye Wei studied geology, and she was not willing to give up her studies. As the queen, she could not go all over the mountains and fields and investigated everywhere, but Ye Wei couldn't stay idle either. She found Feng Dao's granddaughter and asked for a part-time lecturer at the Royal Girls School.

Since the eunuchs were removed, the palace has become much more peaceful.

As the queen, I had nothing to do, and I was just ready to prepare for lessons and give lectures... As for the two princes, I gave Fu San all my brains!

One big and two small, the Ye Mansion has become a kindergarten.

From the original Brother Guo Xing, to Guo Zongxun, to these two little things!

"It turns out that our family is just kicking you, the Guo family, and after raising one child, right?" Fu San asked angrily!

Ye Wei chuckled and said, "Mom, you and Dad have good teaching and are deeply trusted by the royal family. You should be happy!"

"I'm so happy!" Fu San cursed angrily: "You are all free and easy. If you want to do whatever you want, just throw me at home as an old mom! What's this called?"

Fu San was cursing, and suddenly someone outside shouted, "Madam, it's not good. The girl has opened the cage of bamboo rats, and bamboo rats are running around the yard!"

Fu San's head was big, so he hurriedly ran out, regardless of the bamboo rat, picked up his granddaughter and slapped it twice in the butt... The little thing was beaten and was quite strong. He stared at his eyes and didn't cry, but tears kept turning in his eyes.

The next second, grandpa came back from outside, the little thing broke free from grandma's claws, ran over in three steps, spreading his arms, "Grandpa, hug!"

Entering Ye Hua's arms, the little thing's tears fell one by one, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma is bad, grandma is good! Grandma bullies little, little animal!"

Ye Hua smiled, "So we female heroes took action and released all the bamboo rats?"

The little guy nodded vigorously, that's it.

"It's done...good!" Ye Hua took a candy casually, stuffed it into his granddaughter's mouth, and said with a smile: "Reward you!"

Eating candy, the little guy was arrogant, as if he had won a victory general!

Fu San is too lazy to look at her husband. After so many years, he has been pretending to be good people, and he has also pretended to be more than one generation!

"Look at your father, can he teach his children well? According to me, no matter how good the children are, they will be ruined by him!" Fu San said confidently.

Ye Hua looked at the granddaughter in his arms and asked with a smile: "Will Grandpa teach you badly?"

"I can't do it!" The little girl tightened her nose, pouted her mouth, and bulged her cheeks, and said cutely: "That grandma will teach me badly, don't want grandma!"

"Hahaha! So smart!"

Ye Hua ignored Fu San's snatching eyes, stuffed a candy for his granddaughter, and asked her to go to the garden to play. Fu San was so angry that he wanted to settle the score with Ye Hua, but he didn't know that Ye Hua's legs were fast, so he went straight to the study.

Guo Zongxun was waiting here. He was wearing royal blue casual clothes, with beautiful eyebrows and slender eyes. At first glance, there were some similarities between them, father-in-law and son-in-law.

Guo Zongxun smiled and poured tea for Lao Taishan, then asked, "Master, isn't it troublesome?"

Ye Hua said indifferently: "Anyway, I don't have much time to care about my children, so the trouble is also someone else's."

Guo Zongxun laughed dryly, he didn't have the courage to slander his mother-in-law, even behind his back!

"Master, let's talk about some serious business! This time, Master is going to make a big spell on India?" Guo Zongxun asked curiously, stretching half of his body.

"Well... it seems that the time is ripe." Ye Hua said calmly: "We are ready. Next, we force Tianzhu to change to grow cotton, and we can form a coastal trade line... transport cotton from Tianzhu to Jiangnan, weave textiles into cloth in Jiangnan, and sell them everywhere, including Tianzhu! At the same time, we will transport slaves from Tianzhu to Liaodong. We will do our best to operate Liaodong and use Liaodong as a grain base to ensure the food security of the Great Zhou!"

Ye Hua smiled and drew every trade route, chuckling: "Your Majesty, these combined can provide at least 100 million taxes a year!"

"tax?"
Chapter completed!
