Section 129 The floor is always crooked
In front of the hall.
Pan Weixi is making a report.
"Officials, everyone. The place of pepper production has to go south. I thought Chameng could only be a supply point, but no matter how difficult it is, I would not be afraid. I promise that next year, there will be 50,000 dans of pepper and 200,000 dans of various spices. If it cannot be achieved, I would like to request a title."
50,000 dan of pepper, worth 40 million dan.
Of course, this is the current price, and if there are too many, the price will definitely be reduced.
Pan Weixi said again: "Give me three years, I will build a base in Qiongya, which is not only used for long-distance voyages, but also try to grow pepper. I believe that Qiongya can guarantee that pepper can produce tens of thousands of dan a year."
While Pan Weixi issued military orders to himself one by one, he also told everyone that I would do a big deal.
Kou Zhun proposed that the troops who originally agreed to be responsible for transportation remained unchanged, and added 20,000 imperial guards, and transferred 20,000 wing troops and another 20,000 miscellaneous troops. However, Bianliang only gave a total of 25,000, and the rest were drawn from various places and from south of the Yangtze River.
However, the number of people going south to sea shall not exceed 33,000.
The rest should be arranged at the navy and docks, especially the pepper planting base that Pan Weixi plans to build.
North of the Yangtze River, Kou Zhun dared not give troops to the army again.
There must be a battle against the Liao Kingdom.
But there is no problem south of the Yangtze River. With the population and number of soldiers registered in the Song Dynasty, drawing 50,000 troops is nothing.
Even if you draw harder, a large state and several surrounding counties can draw enough people.
Pan Weixi stopped speaking after making the report.
He didn't listen to the debates in the court at all, how many of these soldiers were placed in the Hangzhou Navy, how many of them were placed in the Guangzhou Navy, and how many military rations, weapons, etc.
As a Wu Xun, Pan Weixi would never ask for another army.
I only shouted slogans, I was the official and the Song Dynasty, and you didn’t dare to cheat me to death. I would like to keep tens of thousands of stones of pepper for one or two thousand men. This is a joke.
What's more, the so-called five thousand transport team that was ahead has set off.
The merchants of the Song Dynasty dared to fight for their wealth and life under huge profits. The caravans alone recruited thousands of death-death men, plus those from the eastern Shandong were responsible for organizing training and the ordnance provided by the Ministry of War.
Pan Weixi believed that during the New Year, there would be a main force of no less than 4,000 troops stationed in Chameng.
Then we started building a village.
Even if the court is not strong enough, he can control Qiongya to the inland sea surrounded by Chameng for about three years.
Pan Weixi named it Jiaozhi Inner Sea.
If the court is powerful...
Forget it, Pan Weixi is just a civil servant in the court, so it’s up to him.
The day has passed again.
The court has been in a crooked house again.
The little thing about how many troops there are in Hangzhou Navy and how many shipbuilding craftsmen are recruited is to the Hangzhou governor and the Maritime Bureau. This is not the end, but to the new faction, Qian Ruoshui, who is still on the way, is still on the road.
Pan Weixi seemed to have become accustomed to such results and was very calm.
Go down to the court and go home.
He didn't say hello on the way, and only after he got home did he ask someone to give him an order. After his in-laws Liu Lang arrived in Hangzhou, he transferred an official boat from the Hangzhou Navy to Liu Lang and asked the Pan family's personal soldiers to send 100 people to follow him.
Then when Liu Lang arrives at Cham City and the first batch of ships come back, he will bring all the news about Liu Lang in Cham City, etc.
How profitable is Champa?
Pan Weixi has never told anyone that he has been there himself. He knows that indigo grass alone is worth 300,000 yuan in pure profit, and this grass is full of mountains and fields in Chameng, and it is purely wild grass.
What's more, there are countless hemps and all kinds of hemps there.
Pan Weixi didn't mention this a word.
Because, there is no need.
When I mentioned it, the court would say, "I have great land and wealth in the Song Dynasty, and I have these things, so I have them in the Song Dynasty, and that's not that bad."
So Pan Weixi only used three things.
Pepper, agarwood, dragon brain fragrance.
That's enough.
The rest, when the merchants arrived, they would feel the huge wealth there, and they would have a way to earn back every copper coins they could earn.
Then, you only need to control the city, the dock, and the waterway.
This can guarantee taxes to the government and ensure the profits obtained by the navy.
When Pan Weixi returned home, he stood in the study. There were two large maps hanging in front of him, one painted by Liu An and the other painted by himself.
"Cape!" Pan Weixi's finger slid on the map, pointing at a position.
He hasn't been here in person, not the cape of Qiongya, but the entrance of Malijiao, the cape. Pan Weixi gently tapped on the map a few times, which was one of his goals for the next three years.
Take this cape, this is a strategic location.
Then, all the big food, Persian and Arab merchant ships also have to pay themselves a tax, heavy tax.
At night, Liu An arrived.
Pan Weixi was still standing in front of the map, and Liu An walked behind Pan Weixi: "Father!"
"Qu Yue has a grudge against you? Do you steal your family's money or steal your baby?" After asking, Liu An was stunned. Pan Weixi himself smiled and shook his head gently: "I'm going far, I see your layout. You want to take a ruthless attack on Qu Yue, right?"
Pan Weixi couldn't see how much control Jiaozhiwan had on Qu Yue.
I said something just now casually.
But think about it, Liu An and himself are a family.
Liu An said: "My father didn't want to be famous in history. Jiaozhi was originally Han County. There were too many places in the establishment of the Song Dynasty compared to the Han and Tang dynasties."
Pan Weixi said: "The credit is too high, not too good."
"How is Huo Guang?"
Liu An's words shocked Pan Weixi and his cold sweat broke out. Pan Weixi thought to himself, you, a kid, really dare to think and really dare to say it.
But after calming down, he asked back: "Is it possible?"
Liu An smiled: "The soldiers are used to eating meat. If they eat bran every day, what does his father think will?"
"You're crazy!"
Liu An was very calm: "I'm crazy. Before the New Year, half of the people in the Censorate will be exiled. Although there is only one person in charge, I will implicate a group of people. They are too arrogant. Moreover, the officials want to see the Censorate die some people. If they don't take the opportunity to kill some, they will not have this store after passing through this village."
Pan Weixi did not answer the conversation.
Liu An continued: "If I were just a Tanhualang, I would like to do a big thing, it would be impossible for me to do something big for a decade. But now, I have four major martial arts behind me, Kou Zhun and me, Lu Xianggong secretly helped me, and the indulgence of the official family. What am I afraid of?"
"I'm afraid!" Pan Weixi said this with a smile.
Chapter completed!
