Datang Fenghua Road

Han Yue had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and said with a smile: "You may think that this king is boasting, but I want to tell you that this is how the top ten industries make money. Whether it is two hundred or three hundred participating, each of them can There is a guaranteed income of 50."

He paused slightly when he said this, and then continued: "Not only do you make money every year, but this king can also rely on these industries to quickly gather funds, at least [-] huge fortunes every year, and I can raise enough to build a town within five years. capital.”

The crowd became more and more excited. Liu Hongji's wife squeezed forward and said cautiously, "Your Highness Wan'an, my master is your direct descendant. Your Highness, you must pull it. Also, the courtier's wife's family has been running Lingnan for generations, saying: Maybe I can help His Highness with some trivial matters."

"Lingnan!" Han Yue groaned and said with a smile, "Just usable..."

Chapter 429 What are the ten major industries?

The wife of the Duke of Kui was overjoyed, and subconsciously wanted to give Han Yue a big gift. Han Yue quickly reached out to stop him, and said solemnly: "You don't need to do this. This king's ten major industries involve Lingnan, so he didn't deliberately take care of your mother's family."

"For them to participate, that's the greatest care..." Mrs. Kui insisted on bowing to Han Yue, and said happily: "The minister's wife has never been treated by her natal family, but this time she will feel proud."

Han Yue smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "My wife gave Xiao Sizi a Nanzhu at the foreign exchange market outside the customs, and tonight she gave my child a bigger one. If this king's guess is correct, your mother's family should be from Lingnan. Pearl House!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness's guess is correct. The minister's wife's natal family has lived by the sea for generations, relying on the industry of pearl fishing."

Han Yue nodded and said, "Being able to pick pearls must be a good player in the water. This king's industry is using people!"

Mrs. Kui State became more and more happy, but the people around her were anxious. Most of them lived in the Central Plains, and there were few people who depended on water for food.The wife of a high-ranking official in the court squeezed away others, and said eagerly, "His Royal Highness said that there are ten major industries, so we can't all rely on the sea to eat, right?"

"Of course not!" Han Yue laughed and explained: "If you want to gather [-] million yuan of wealth, how can you rely on just one industry? In fact, this king wants to build a comprehensive industrial chain and comprehensively develop the economy of the Tang Dynasty. The cycle continues, and eventually complement each other and all make money..."

Fang Xuanling came out more and more, and asked in a warm voice: "The prince has been closed for a long time, everyone present is very anxious, why don't you explain the top ten industries in detail, I believe that not only the old man and others will listen attentively, I am afraid even Your Majesty is also eager to hear!"

Han Yue turned his head and saw that Li Shimin was standing behind him with his hands behind his back, and the emperor's eyes were filled with urgency.Even the emperor was in a hurry, so Han Yue naturally didn't dare to sell off. He hurriedly coughed and directly started talking about the ten major industries.

"The first industry, iron ore and smelting..."

Whoops, the first hit is ruthless!

The surroundings were stunned, and everyone had excitement on their faces.

Since ancient times, the industry of salt and iron has been strictly controlled by the royal family. Now that His Royal Highness has put iron ore and smelting in the first door of the ten major industries, doesn't it mean that everyone has a share in it?

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Han Yue continued to explain: "You all know that this king is developing the northeast, the white mountains and black waters are vast, not only the world's largest gold mine, but also the world's largest iron mine. I have ordered the research institute to build fifty miles south of Shenyang City. Iron works and blast furnaces, with an annual output of [-] jin of crude iron and [-] jin of refined steel, can also smelt copper, tin, and aluminum…”

These are all associated minerals of iron ore, and they were all good things in the Tang Dynasty. Every time Han Yue said something, everyone's eyes brightened, and there were all the sounds of gasping around.

Han Yue swept away the crowd and said with a smile: "Iron ore is the private property of this king, and I also built the smelting factory, so don't blame me for taking the big head, I want [-]% of the net income from this industry, and the remaining [-]% of the net income, everyone come. Points. Again, you don't need to invest, just manpower and connections. Anyone present can claim the agency rights of the iron industry. As long as you have the ability, even if you sell iron products to the east and west regions of Liaoning, you will not be held accountable. The more you sell, the more The more you earn..."

He paused slightly when he said this, and deliberately joked: "You don't have to worry about the father's anger. Although salt and iron are controlled by the royal state, since this king dares to open it up and sell it, then he has the confidence to bear the consequences."

Everyone heard the words and peeked at Li Shimin's face, and as expected, they saw the emperor's approval. Obviously, Han Yue had already obtained his consent for this matter.

The emperor does not object, doesn't it mean that the iron industry has been opened up?

Everyone was excited for a while, and their faces were a little red with excitement.Don't think that the big guys in the court don't love money, that's because the amount of money is not big enough.The industry of salt and iron is huge profits, and naturally it can make everyone show their true colors.

Han Yue coughed suddenly and added: "There is something that needs to be explained in advance. The iron industry agent must pay the funds three months in advance when purchasing the goods. As long as this condition is agreed, everyone can claim the right of sales agent..."

"It's only three months in advance. It's not that the money is given but the goods are not given. We have claimed this sales agency!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, but it was Hejian County King Li Xiaogong and several important ministers who sent it over. Li Xiaogong laughed. Dao: "This king has some connections in Guannei Road and Henan Road. Please, Your Highness, please take care of me and let me claim the agency rights of the two roads."

"Yes." Han Yue nodded and smiled: "You are my cousin, you can go through the back door, but you need to pay [-] agency fees for each agency. This money will not be refunded even if you quit in the future. I don't know if you agree with the Prince of Hejian?"

Li Xiaogong made some calculations, and then said straightforwardly: "As long as you sell iron objects for three years, the wealth of this king's family can be multiplied. I will hand over the 20 guan."

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "This king also has some contacts in Hebei, why don't you give me the Hebei Road, the three roads are 30 guan, the business is completely profitable..."

Han Yue was slightly startled. He hadn't spoken yet. Cheng Yaojin jumped out next to him and said, "Get out of the way for me! You dare to move in Hebei Road. Be careful, my old Cheng carries an axe to chat with you."

Seeing that it was him, Li Xiaogong smiled no longer.

The reason is very simple. Cheng Yaojin's wife was from the Cui Clan of Qinghe, and Qinghe County is in Hebei Road. If Li Xiaogong wanted Hebei Road, he would be competing with the Cui Clan of Qinghe.

There are not many people in the world who dare to compete with Cui Cui of Qinghe, especially if it involves the interests of the iron industry, even if Li Xiaogong is the king of the county.

Lao Cheng was also very straightforward, and directly pointed out two fingers to Han Yue, laughed wildly, and said: "Tomorrow, I will ask my family to come over and hand in 20 guan, and we also need the agency rights of two roads, one Hebei Road and the other Hedong Road... "

Han Yue pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, the sale of agency rights alone brought in a net income of 40 yuan, but everyone present didn't care about the 40 yuan. Everyone was focusing on the agency rights.

There are only twelve Taos in the entire Tang Dynasty, and now Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin have taken four Taos, and the remaining eight Taos are more than meat and wolves?

At this moment, no one will be humble, because it is too late to say it, but seeing a group of nobles and nobles, the remaining eight agents have been snatched, and they soon belonged to each other.

Qin Qiong asked for one Dao, and the eldest grandson Wuji is now in the Northeast, but his wife still pressed everyone, and finally forced three Dao, but everyone knew that two of them would definitely be contributed to the Queen, so no one complained. .

The last four were succeeded by the other princes. Those Hou Ye had absolutely no share. If they wanted to contaminate the profits of the iron industry, they had to be the next-level agents.

Seeing that those who didn't get the right of proxy were downcast, Han Yue smiled slightly, and suddenly said loudly: "The second industry, shipbuilding and ocean-going trade!"

"Huh?" Everyone whispered in confusion.

Datang's HNA industry is very backward, or the overall HNA industry in this era is very backward. In the eyes of the world, the sea is a dangerous place. Except for poor fishermen seeking a life at sea, I really can't think of how to make money from the sea.

Han Yue swept his eyes and saw everyone's expressions. He didn't give a shit, he directly stretched out his hand to guide him and said, "In the south of my Tang Dynasty, there are the Southeast Asian Islands, where spices, gems, gold, and silver are produced all over the island. The natives are poor, and they can exchange for huge wealth with just a few things!"

"From the Southeast Asian archipelago to the west, you can reach Tianzhu. This country has more gold and produces ivory rhino horn. Further west is Persia, and then west is Egypt. These places are full of money, and it is at least [-] times to travel by ship. profit……"

"Five hundred times? My God!" Everyone was shocked, and the audience was full of gasps.

Han Yue smiled slightly, his fingers suddenly turned to the east, and his tone was somber: "If you go out to sea and head east, as long as you cross an ocean, you can see two huge continents. I named it the American continent. My Tang Dynasty is also several times richer, especially the huge deposits of gold and silver, and rich in all kinds of rare gems, it can be called a land of natural wealth.”

He glanced at the crowd and continued: "But the natives there are also poor. If we go with a boatload of grain and tea, we can exchange for a boatload of gold and silver of the same volume. This benefit can no longer be calculated in multiples. It's just getting rich in the daytime, and you can make a fortune in one trip..."

hiss--

The whole courtyard only heard the sound of gasping, and shock was written on everyone's face.

Among them, Mrs. Kui was the most excited, and she said in a trembling voice, "My parents' family has lived by the sea for generations, and can recruit tens of thousands of water players at any time. This ocean-going trade, this ocean-going trade..."

She stammered, unable to speak for a long time.

Next to him, Liu Hongji jumped out, solemnly salutes Han Yue, and said loudly, "Give me a chance, Your Highness, I must take part in this ocean-going trade!"

"Yes..." Han Yue nodded directly and said with a smile: "Ocean-going trade requires two major prerequisites, one is an ironclad ship, and the other is a good person who can make a living at sea all year round. If you don't talk about this industry, I will call you, haha, your wife's family. You are actually supporting people, am I right?"

Liu Hongji did not hide it, and said loudly: "Your Highness guessed right, the minister of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, who is not secretly supporting a few industries, if you live on salary, how can you support the servants and maids."

What he said is a true portrayal of the Tang Dynasty. In ancient times, agriculture was more important than business. If the ministers of the state did business, they would be ridiculed by others, so everyone was secretly supporting them, which is the so-called not only acting as a watchman but also building an archway.

Han Yue glanced at the courtyard, and continued: "This king is in charge of shipbuilding. There is a natural deep-water port in the northeast, and there is a steel smelter there, which is convenient for building steel armored ships. I want to build it first. Two gunboats, five transport ships, and the eleven largest double-chord ships of the Datang Navy will be rebuilt. As long as the construction is accelerated, a fleet can be formed next year..."

He stopped here and said in deep thought: "Ocean trade is huge profits, but the investment and risks are also huge. It will cost tens of millions of dollars just to build a ship, so I want [-]% of the profit in this industry, and another [-]%. Cheng will share it with everyone, and everyone present will participate, but each family will never have less than a few hundred thousand net profits!"

Han Yue is [-]%, and everyone adds up to [-]%...
