From the very beginning, the whole situation was controlled by Liu Han, and he had already mastered the decision in the palace, which was his biggest hole card.

He is now looking for his own best interests.

The atmosphere in the banquet was solemn, and only Liu Han looked relaxed.

The three of them kept exchanging glances, thinking about countermeasures, and their eyes whizzed in the air.

The osprey swooped down from the sky, burrowed into the water, and soon jumped onto the boat with a fish in his mouth.

Liu Han's thoughts began to drift around, thinking of the palace for a while, thinking of King Qin for a while, and feeling that he was like the osprey, but he didn't know who the fisherman was?

Since returning to Dajin, many things have been clouded and foggy, as if I have seen it clearly, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is not right, and the logic cannot be explained clearly.

"The tree is big, and it is inevitable that there will be some dead branches and leaves, alas," Yu Wen suddenly reacted, and he began to guess Liu Han's purpose a little: "I heard that Hanhai Trading Company is going to show its strength in Jiangnan, I don't know if I need our help." ”

Lu Qiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, my Lu family cooperates with Hanhai Trading Company, Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Han glanced at Yu Wen again in his heart, and nodded slightly at him: "I don't care much about the affairs of the trading company, but Liu Huo told me that I want to buy some land in Jiangnan and plant mulberry trees, and in addition, I want to buy a few silk workshops.

But whether it is silk or cotton, it is in the hands of a few people, Yu Gong, can you sell more to Hanhai Trading Company in the future?"

This is not a bargain, Yu Wen immediately nodded: "This is no problem, in the future, all the silk cotton of my Yu family can be sold to Hanhai Trading Company." ”

Lu Qiao hesitated slightly, the Lu family is different from the Yu family, the Lu family has hundreds of looms, accounting for forty percent of the looms in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Hanhai Trading Company has only more than 100 looms after several years of development, less than thirty percent of the Lu family.

Liu Han smiled slightly: "According to Wei Zhen's confession, in the first six years and eight years of Taiding, he sold a total of 70,000 pieces of silk and cotton cloth from the Jiangnan Mansion Treasury to the Liu family and the Duan family. ”

Lu Qiao's expression changed greatly, the Liu family and the Duan family were originally slaves of the Lu family, and later gave them civilian status, both of them operated silk and cotton cloth, and they were also the largest silk and cotton merchants in Jiangnan, but in fact, these two families were from the Lu family, and their looms were all from the Lu family.

Liu Han heard Yu Wen breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled at Yu Wen, Yu Wen also smiled, the two understood each other, and Yu Wen immediately increased.

"I heard that Sanyou Salt also has Mr. Liu's part, and my Yu family is willing to give up three salt fields, a total of fifty acres, I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks?"

"Three pieces?" Liu Han frowned at first, and Yu Wen hurriedly added: "We can discuss the quantity." ”

Liu Han smiled slightly: "Duke Yu, three pieces are too much, the salt profit is huge, and Yangzhou Salt Industry still needs Zhugong, so let's do it, thirty acres." ”

"Okay, let's make a decision. Yu Wen reciprocated the favor and immediately promised: "In the future, the cotton and silk of my Yu family will be handed over to Hanhai Trading Company." ”

Naked fall into the well, Yu Wen's generosity made Lu Qiao feel a lot of pressure, Zhang Xing understood a little now, he was also very embarrassed, the Zhang family's industry was also in the salt number and weaving workshop, let go of these two parts, the Zhang family's income immediately fell by half.

Liu Han sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and sang and harmonized with Yu Wen without impatience.

"Gong Yu, I heard that the Yu family has a shipbuilding workshop, I don't know how big a ship the Yu family can build?" asked Liu Han.

Yu Wen was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't understand what Liu Han meant for a while, so he asked tentatively: "My family can build a ship of 3,000 stones, why is Mr. Liu still interested in shipbuilding workshops?"

Liu Han shook his head slightly: "I'm a little interesting, but I heard that there are people in Wu County who go to sea to trade, and I also want to make it, our silk cotton porcelain should have a market overseas, and I want to get two ships to sell overseas." ”

Yu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu, with all due respect, this overseas licensed goods is not so easy to make, Brother Lu and I have thought about it, and we have tried, my grandfather once built three boats, and the first time he went to sea, he sank two, my grandfather was not convinced, and built two more, this time it sank, but when he met a pirate, he escaped back one, and the loss was huge, and my Yu family almost collapsed." ”

Liu Han didn't say anything more, he pondered deeply, he really wanted to see what kind of ship Wu Jun was going to overseas, whether it was artillery or crossbows for naval engagements.

When he was still in the Western Regions, he tried gunpowder artillery, he thought that there was no gunpowder in this era, but he didn't expect that there would be one in the Great Jin Dynasty, but he could only make black powder, but he could only make black powder, what yellow powder TNT, Nobel or something, he didn't understand at all.

The gunpowder artillery has been made, but the effect is very poor, first of all, the range, which is slightly longer than the bow and arrow, but after the first shot, if you want to fire it again, it will take a lot of effort, to put it simply, to fire the second shell, I am afraid that people have already rushed in front of you.

Secondly, he doesn't know how to get the cannonball, in the other world, he is engaged in financial investment, how the bank operates, he knows the door, but how to make this cannonball, he goes up and there, even Baidu must have it, Google may be able to figure it out.

These two items made him decide to give up the gunpowder artillery musket, however, he did make a strong crossbow, this kind of strong crossbow is improved from the military crossbow, the range is stronger than the strong bow, and the armor-piercing power is also strong, and he can make this kind of crossbow, also thanks to the financial investment circle in his previous life, he often accompanies several big customers to hunt, these big customers each take a military crossbow, this kind of military cross crossbow is a controlled product, it doesn't matter, don't think about it at all, but this is not a matter at all for those rich people.

Dozens of maintenance, he is familiar with every part of this crossbow, but it is not easy to make this crossbow, the technology of this era is too backward, until finally, he made several molds, only to successfully mass-produce this crossbow, but after producing a hundred, he destroyed this mold.

At that time, he didn't want to mass-produce this kind of sharp weapon, this kind of sharp weapon was simple to operate, much stronger than the crossbow arrows used by the Jin army now, simple to operate, an ordinary person could operate it with a little training, and it was powerful.

Military equipment was the focus of the rulers in that era, and most of the merchants who could produce military equipment died at home.

However, this kind of crossbow must be a great weapon on the ship, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with those pirates.

Yu Wen was very puzzled, looking at Liu Han's appearance, it seemed that he was really interested in going to the sea. Sailing to the sea, most of them are outlaws, and the sea is controlled by the Jiangnan Society's gang, and the sea boats of their own family and the Lu family were robbed, whether it is the overseas people or the hands of the Jiangnan Society's gang of thieves, I don't know.

"Although it is very profitable to go to sea, it is very risky, Mr. Liu is still cautious," Lu Qiao's eyes flashed, Jiangnan Society controlled overseas trade, and they always wanted to intervene, but one is that the ship is not good, but there is no route, the ship on the sea is different from the ship of the inland river, and the route is the core secret, and only a few core people in the Jiangnan Association know.

"That's for later. Liu Han smiled and said, "However, it should be soon." ”

Yu Wen immediately understood, and for the first time, he asked in a gaffe: "So, Jiang Nan will be involved in Wei Zhen's case?"

Liu Han nodded, Jiangnan will be more involved than Lu Yu and Zhang's three families, after all, Jiangnan will be engaged in overseas trade, more goods are needed, and the price is still high, Wei Zhen is still complaining to Lu Yu Zhang in his confession, thinking that they are oppressive with power, and they are forced to buy and sell.

"Okay, this time we will uproot the Jiangnan Society, and those people will only have to trade with us in the future. Zhang Ying shouted with his fists in his hands.

Liu Han didn't speak, Yu Wen gave Lu Qiao a look, Lu Qiao gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, my Lu family will give fifty percent of the loom to Hanhai Trading Company, and in the future, fifty percent of the Lu family's cotton and silk will be sold to Hanhai Trading Company." ”

Zhang Ying also immediately agreed, selling fifty percent of Zhang's looms and fifty percent of silk cotton.

But Liu Han was not satisfied, he smiled and said: "There is no need for that, there are too many, and Hanhai Trading Company can't digest it, it's better like this, Lu Gong, Zhang Gong, Sancheng is okay, if Sancheng still feels more, then 20%. ”

The three of them were surprised, and Liu Han added: "However, the Hanhai Trading Company wants to buy some land, plant cotton and mulberry, and invite Zhugong Yucheng." ”

This time, not only Lu Qiao and Zhang Xing, but even Yu Wen didn't open his mouth, this land sale is completely different from selling cotton silk.

Even if the cotton silk is sold, the root is still controlled by the three of them, and it can be broken at any time, so it can be said that they can still control the Hanhai Trading Company, but when the land is sold, it is completely different.

First, the reputation is not good, and second, Hanhai Trading Company is completely out of control.

Zhang Ying was really angry, stood up, pointed at Liu Han, and shouted loudly: "Liu Han, don't go too far!"

Liu Han didn't speak, he drank casually, and the guys on the boat didn't move, Liu Han walked around the boat with his divine sense after getting on the boat, perhaps to show his sincerity, the three of them didn't bring a master, only a few guards were on the boat, although the cultivation of these guards was good, but even if they joined forces, they were not opponents.

Yu Wen hurriedly got up and went over, pressed Zhang Ying down, turned to Liu Han and said, "Mr. Liu, this land, alas, please back down." ”

Yu Wen actually gave in to Liu Han so much, if this was to be spread, it would definitely shock Jiangnan, the Yu family was one of the only two remaining thousand-year-old families in Jiangnan.

"Yu Gong, there is a saying in the mall, the greater the risk, the greater the profit, how much risk I take, you should know, otherwise you will not be invited again and again, since I am here today, it means that I hope to solve this problem with you, but you can't not pay the corresponding price, otherwise, we can only do business. ”

The atmosphere was a little dignified, Liu Han hit the vital point of the three people, Lu Yu and Zhang Sanjia, the leader of the scholar clan in Jiangnan, don't say that the imperial court will not copy them, the Tian family who has been copied has a much higher status than them in the scholar clan, and the three families plus one cannot be compared, not to mention, the current imperial concubine is still from the Tian family.

"You think you can cover the sky with one hand!" Zhang Xing's tone was a little discouraged.

Liu Han laughed dryly, drank all the wine in the cup, gently put down the wine glass, looked at Zhang Xing and said: "I dare not say anything else, just this matter, I dare to say it, I will cover the sky with one hand!"
