Doing business and doing business is obviously not Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu's strengths, and after the two of them summed up, they had no clue, and they didn't know how to make the most profit from these noble children who were ready to go to the Ming Dynasty to study.

After being distressed for most of the night, Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyue still couldn't think of a feasible way, and finally Chen Jisheng was ruthless and decided to look for some available talents in the army.

Chen Qiyue had no choice but to agree, and handed over this matter to Chen Jisheng. Chen Jisheng did not delay, rushed back to the barracks in Manila City as soon as it was dawn, and directly issued an order, asking everyone in the army who felt that he had business experience to report to him.

As a result, as soon as the order was issued, hundreds of people came, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people, and I don't know when it would take to screen them one by one. Chen Jisheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and directly asked these hundreds of people to compete with each other in the form of a competition, and he did not test it personally until the ten people who won in the end.

This time it was much easier, Chen Jisheng had not finished drinking a pot of wine, and a guard led ten men to the big tent.

When it comes to the way of doing business, Chen Jisheng doesn't know anything, so naturally there is no way to come up with any questions to test the talents of these people. But stupid people always have a stupid way, Chen Jisheng directly waved off the guards, and then directly told the question of how to make money from the children of the nobles. Let each of these ten people come up with a solution.

The ten fellows only thought for a moment, and then they all began to answer, and soon gave their own opinions. Chen Jisheng did not delay, and directly chose the method that he thought was most useful, and named this person to stay, and the rest were driven out of the big tent.

Those who remained were the clerks of the army, middle-aged scholars who were responsible for liquidating the supplies of the army.

"What's your name?" Chen Jisheng opened his mouth to ask his name.

"Hui Dashuai, the villain's surname is Zhang, and his name is Shao." Zhang Shao would look very nervous, after all, he didn't know what Chen Jisheng was doing with him.

"Don't be nervous, Ben Shuai will answer whatever you ask." Chen Jisheng saw that he was nervous, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Yes, Dashuai!" said yes, but Zhang Shao was still nervous.

Seeing him like this, Chen Jisheng simply ignored it, and said bluntly: "The method you just said, Ben Shuai thinks it is feasible." It's up to you to take care of it, and you can say as many ships or whatever else you need. Ben Shuai has only one requirement, that is, to get this thing done, as long as it is done, you will be Ben Shuai's henchman in the future, and Ben Shuai will naturally not let you suffer. ”

Transporting the children of the nobility from Luzon to the Ming Dynasty was not a trivial matter. Zhang Shao was absolutely sure that he could squeeze enough money out of these students, but he did not have the ability to ensure the safety of ships traveling at sea. So when Chen Jisheng asked him to give a guarantee, Zhang Shao failed to reply.

He hesitated for a while, then boldly said: "Dashuai, in terms of money, the villain can guarantee that it will be done, but the safety of this navigation is not within the villain's ability, so ......"

Chen Jisheng interrupted Zhang Shao with a smile: "Ben Shuai didn't ask you so much, as long as you can squeeze enough benefits from these students who went to Daming to study, you don't need to worry about other things, Ben Shuai will naturally make other arrangements." ”

Zhang Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and replied: "Such a villain is relieved." ”

Chen Jisheng nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Shao's performance. Then he immediately went back to pack his things and went with him to the port.

Zhang Shao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated after receiving the order.

Chen Jisheng solved the troublesome things in his heart, and his mood suddenly improved, and he left the big tent with a whistle and inspected the camp.

In the city of Guangzhou, off the coast of the port, a fleet of more than ten warships stayed quietly, and the huge fortune ship floated quietly on the calm sea like a fierce beast.

Mao Wenlong stood on the deck of the bow of the ship, overlooking the port of the capital city in front of him, and beside him was a slightly chubby official, standing with his bows, very respectful to Mao Wenlong.

"Governor Yan, this port is indeed becoming bigger and more prosperous now, but why do I only see ships with my Ming flag passing back and forth, but no foreign ships appear?" Mao Wenlong groaned and asked.

"Chief soldier, I don't know, since the port of this city has become more and more prosperous, many different forces have been bred. These forces come from different places, and they exist either in the form of families or in geographical distinctions. They are engaged in different trades, and each trade has been monopolized by each other, so that foreign ships cannot enter at all, and even if they do, no one will help unload the goods. Over time, there were no more foreign ships docked at the port on this side of the city. Yan Sen replied with a wry smile.

"Monopoly ......"

This is something that Mao Wenlong did not expect, and the opening of ports for free trade has indeed invigorated maritime trade. The Ming Dynasty has also benefited a lot from this, and taxes have been surging every year over the years. But the problem also arises, with the existence of great interests, there will be a breeding of all kinds of parasites, such things can not be avoided, can only be cracked down as much as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "You can't let the port develop like this, you must knock these intricate forces from time to time, and the imperial court must completely control them." ”

Yan Sen didn't dare to say much, silently said yes, and promised to crack down on such monopolistic behavior in the future.

Political affairs are not Mao Wenlong's specialty, he paused, and then instructed Yan Sen to lead the way, and Mao Wenlong was ready to go into the city to have a look. Unexpectedly, at this time, Adou came in a hurry and handed over a letter to Mao Wenlong, saying that it was Chen Jisheng's letter.

Mao Wenlong was quite pleased, and Chen Jisheng sent a letter, indicating that things should have progressed on the Luzon side. He couldn't wait to open it and look at it, and after a while, he smiled and said: "It seems that this Luzon Kingdom is truly obedient to our Ming Dynasty, Chen Chen Jisheng, this kid, this time the credit is not small." ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong put away the letter, went ashore in a small boat with Yan Sen, and then changed to a carriage into the city.

It has been more than two years since he last came to Fucheng, and Mao Wenlong looked at the flat cement roads everywhere, and the neat streets and shops along the streets, and he was very satisfied with the changes in Fucheng.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's smiling face, Yan Sen, the prefect, was also a lot more relieved, and he also diligently introduced to Mao Wenlong the various changes in the city over the years.

Slowly came to the mansion, and Mao Wenlong immediately replied to Chen Jisheng after entering, informing him that he could start arranging ships to send students from Luzon to the Ming Dynasty. And he will also go to Weihaiwei College tomorrow in person to arrange follow-up matters.
