"Yun Rui, don't just talk to us about theory, can you tell us something real?" Xu Jingchang said from the side, "My uncle wrote and asked me to ask you, what are the ways to make money there?"

Xu Jingchang’s mother is Xu Mu. When you hear this surname, you will know whose child she is?

That's right, it's Wang Muying of Qianning! The uncle Xu Jingchang talks about is the current Xiping Hou Musheng, who has the same father and mother as Xu Mu.

Mu Ying had three wives. The main wife, Feng, gave birth to a son, Mu Chun. In the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, she was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping. She died of illness in the 31st year and had no children. The title was inherited by Mu Sheng, the concubine born to the Geng family, and Xu Mu's family as well.

She was born to the Geng family. Therefore, the mother is more valuable than the son, and the Geng family was promoted to the royal wife.

Mu Ying and Xu Da were both generals under Zhu Yuanzhang. Before Mu Ying went to Yunnan, she betrothed her concubine to Xu Da's concubine Xu Zengshou for marriage. Everyone knows this kind of thing.

No one would have thought that the two children born to the Geng family would turn around. One would become the real Marquis of Xiping, and the other would become the real Duke's wife. Their life experiences were so magical. Li Yunrui also learned about this not long ago.

The thing is, he also thinks that Mr. Geng is a bit awesome, and he is definitely the kind of person who has the aura of a protagonist.

Hearing Xu Jingchang's question, Li Yunrui lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Yunnan is a place with high mountains and deep valleys, and inconvenient transportation. If you want to do business, you are limited by the roads. If you just do local business, you won't make much money; but if you want to do business, you can't make much money."

When doing business elsewhere, transportation costs are very high..."

Xu Jingchang nodded after listening to Li Yunrui's analysis.

"There are several businesses that you might want to consider in that place, such as Yunnan horses, black tea, copper smelting, and medicinal materials! These may not make a lot of money..." Li Yunrui touched his chin and said, "But in the Myanmar Military and Civilian Exhortation Department

In the mountains, there are jadeite hidden in some stones, which is very suitable for making various jewelry and pendants. It can make a lot of money. This thing is a luxury product, and the transportation cost is basically negligible..."

"Jade?" After hearing this word, Xu Jingchang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't Jade a bird?"

In ancient China, jadeite refers to a bird that lives in the south. Its feathers are very beautiful, usually in blue, green, red, brown and other colors. Usually the male bird is red, which is called "fei"; the female bird is green, which is called "fei".

"Cui". In "Shuowen Jiezi" written by Xu Shen, there is this word, "Fei means a bird with red feathers; Cui means a bird with green feathers'". Chen Zi'ang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Ganyu"

To, "Emerald nest in the South Sea, male and female trees in the forest!"

It was not until the Song Dynasty that jadeite became the synonym for jade. Ouyang Xiu accidentally got a piece of jade baby. At first he thought it was a piece of jasper. When he was in Yingzhou, he took it out for people to see.

He said, "This treasure is also called jade." The old minister told Ouyang Xiu that there was an jade lamp in the holy treasury containing treasures in the palace, so the veteran knew this thing. The word "emerald" was only spread in the palace.

During the Yongle period, few people knew that jadeite was jade...

Jade truly became known only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, during the Wanli period. At that time, the imperial court set up eunuchs to purchase jewelry in Tengchong, Baoshan, to engage in jewelry procurement. The line from Yongchang Tengyue to Myitkyina, Myanmar, was called the "Jade Road".

When "Baojing Road" was at its most prosperous, 20,000 mules and horses passed through it every day.

Li Yunrui knew the history of the development of jade. He had traveled to Tengchong and gambled on stones in Tengchong. Before going to Tengchong, he specially made some strategies, including this knowledge.

Li Yunrui recounted some of the knowledge he knew about jade, which made Xu Jingchang feel dizzy and shocked. He quickly took out a pen and a small book from his sleeves and began to record, "Burmese Propaganda Secretary

...Myitkyina...glass species, ice species, waxy species...yellow emerald, green emerald, red emerald..."

Li Yunrui had made the pen a long time ago. It didn't matter if there was no plastic. Li Yunrui used a piston-type water absorber. After finalizing the shape, he threw it to the members of the Hongyan Club. It was very popular in Nanjing and became a standard for literati.

, because you can take it out anytime and anywhere to record your own thoughts and other people’s opinions.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Yunrui stopped. His mouth was dry and he picked up the water and took a sip.

"Tell me, where did you know these things?" Xu Jingchang put down the pen and notebook in his hands, turned to look at Li Yunrui, and said, "Your master is really a god, he knows everything, he knows everything...

"

"That is, my master knew five hundred years before, five hundred years after, and five hundred years in between. He knew astronomy, geography, human physiology and hygiene, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geography.

, history, and all the classics and histories..." Li Yunrui began to deify Tianjizi again. Only by shaping Tianjizi into a god can the Li family be as stable as Mount Tai.

"I really want to see him..." Xu Jingchang looked envious after hearing Li Yunrui's words.

"By the way, there seems to be a place called Menglu in Yunnan. Try to find a way for your uncle to establish a good relationship with the chieftain there..." Li Yunrui thought for a while and said.

"Menglu? How to write it?" After hearing this, Xu Jingchang quickly asked, "Is there anything special about Menglu?"

Menglu is Xishuangbanna in later generations. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, 12 Dai people in Xishuangbanna formed the Xishuangbanna State, known as the Menglu State. In the Tang Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhao Jiedu Envoy. In the Song Dynasty, it belonged to the Dali Kingdom. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Che residents Xuan.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the name of the Yuan Dynasty, "Comfort Department", but the name "Mengli" has never been changed among the people.

On the first day of September this year, envoys and leaders from Java, Cheche, Yuanjiang, Jiugang and other places arrived in Beijing. Zhu Di ordered the Ministry of Rites to give a banquet at the Huitong Pavilion.

At that time, Li Yunrui made a business deal of nearly two million taels with Java and Jiugang, and left the car and Yuanjiang alone, because the car and Yuanjiang were the Mu family's territory, and Li Yunrui didn't want to offend the Mu family even if he killed him.

Make many friends and make few enemies. This is the teaching of a great man.

Now that the Mu family has come to their doorstep, Li Yunrui would be a fool if he didn't seize the opportunity.

Why does Li Yunrui covet Xishuangbanna? Because Xishuangbanna has a good geographical location and is very suitable for planting rubber trees.

Two months ago, Li Yunrui sent the group of desperadoes adopted by Li Zengzhi to America. If nothing else happens, he should be able to find rubber tree species. By then, Li Yunrui plans to open planting bases in Guangxi, Hainan and Xishuangbanna...

"I sent people across the ocean to find a kind of rubber tree on the other side. That kind of tree can only be planted in places like Mengli!" Li Yunrui told Xu Jingchang, "This kind of tree can produce a special kind of sap that can be used for...

Make a lot of stuff…”

After hearing this, Xu Jingchang nodded in understanding. He was sure that Li Yunrui would not deceive him. On this point, Xu Jingchang was still sure.

"By the way, Yun Rui, you just said how much we can earn, how much did your Li family earn this year?" After chatting for a while, Xu Jingchang looked at Li Yunrui and raised a question that was deep in his heart.

Last year Li Yunrui earned between 50 and 60 million yuan, which shocked the people of Nanjing. Everyone is curious about how much Li Yunrui can earn this year...

"I haven't calculated the exact amount, but I estimated it to be one thousand three to four million taels..." Li Yunrui thought for a while and said.

Li Yunrui doesn't care about the profit of the glass factory at all. In addition to making a lot of money from the open-hearth steelmaking method of the coal chemical plant this year, businesses such as Xuanwu Villa, sea trade, and "smuggling" ordnance have made Li Yunrui even more profitable.

The bowl is full.

"How much?" Xu Jingchang and Zhang Zhong listened to Li Yunrui's words, their eyes widened, and their jaws almost dropped when they looked at Li Yunrui.

"One thousand three, four million taels!" Li Yunrui knew that this year's figure would drive the people of Nanjing completely crazy, but he was still prepared to say it out because he wanted to let the people see the benefits of doing business.

Li Yunrui alone and a group of nobles cannot change the current situation of Ming Dynasty. Li Yunrui needs more people to join him.

The Ming Dynasty had 60 million people and needed hundreds of thousands of business houses to work together.
