If you buy a big ship with two thousand miles of materials, it will be more expensive, and the money is not only calculated based on one material.

It is really not that easy to build a large fleet with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Zheng He's voyage to the West back then would cost six million taels of silver next time, not counting the cost of shipbuilding.

However, Yongle's national tax revenue was about 30 million taels, and the national treasury revenue was even less.

The next time we go to the West, almost two years of the national treasury’s income will be invested.

A small fight is definitely not what Zhu Jun wants, and he won't get much money.

"At least five or six large ships with thousands of materials are needed to build the base. We also need to recruit some veterans at sea. In addition, we also need to spend money to purchase goods..." Guo Zhen said.

Zhu Jun laughed when he heard this. How could he earn so much money?

"What's the point of making small fuss? Either don't do it, or if you want to do it, do it bigger!" Zhu Jun said: "Let's do this, I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver, and you can buy as many big ships as you can.

I have the manpower here, and there are quite a few soldiers in my house. If you recruit them from outside, you might let it slip.

It will be very troublesome then.

As for the goods, it is simple. The Shen family is the richest man in Yingtian, and their industries are spread all over the country. Let the Shen family supply the goods directly and sell them at a low cost. This can save a lot of money.

In addition, it saves you a lot of trouble and makes it less noticeable!”

"Two, two hundred thousand taels?" Guo Zhen was stunned, "This, so much money!"

They knew that Zhu Jun had money, but they didn't expect that he was so rich.

Fu Zhong took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart, "Sixth Master, it's natural for you to send someone, but you just need to let the Shen family know about this..."

"Don't worry, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family is mine, and the Shen family is also my father-in-law!" Zhu Jun said.

Fu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying that there was no need to worry too much.

"But Mr. Liu, I can't let you take all the responsibility. Our two families can also sell the goods for sale!" Fu Zhong only thought that Zhu Jun wanted to take the blame.

The money is from Zhu Jun, the people are from Zhu Jun, and even the goods are from Zhu Jun. If something happens, Zhu Jun will be the one to take charge.

"What's the point? You are so fussy about it, it means you don't regard me as a brother!" Zhu Jun emphasized again: "If we make money together and spend money together, these are brothers!"

Fu Zhong glanced at Guo Zhen and was very moved. Zhu Jun had contributed both money and effort, and had taken most of the risks. He wished they could chop off the chicken heads, burn the yellow paper, and swore sworn brothers!

"As for dividing the profit, this way, I will take 40%, and each of you will take 30%. If anything happens in the future, I will bear the responsibility, and you will be less guilty!" Zhu Jun said righteously.

Two hundred thousand taels, three times is 60,000 taels, which is equivalent to the two of them having spent 60,000 taels in vain.

Apart from their parents, only Zhu Jun could give them so much money.

"I don't have any objections. When I make money, I will return every cent of the 60,000 taels to Mr. Liu!" Guo Zhen said.

"What else can you give me? Do you think you don't regard me as a brother?"

"It's precisely because I regard Mr. Liu as a brother that I have to pay back the money!" Fu Zhong took Zhu Jun's hand and said, "We have already taken a huge advantage. If Mr. Liu gives us the money for free, this business will be

We’d rather not do it!”

"Yes!" Guo Zhen also nodded in agreement.

Zhu Jun looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh, "What's wrong with spending some money on my brother? You two stubborn people, what should I say?"

"That's it!" Fu Zhong said with a smile: "With this money, we can buy thirty or forty large ships!"

This is much better than they imagined.

Although they shared 40% of the profits, they got even more. Speaking of which, they really took advantage of Zhu Jun too much.

Then, the three began to discuss the details.

Guo Zhen was drawing up the contract on the sidelines.

It was finally determined that Zhu Jun accounted for 40% of the shares, but he could not send the people alone, and the team members of the merchants were dispatched according to the shares.

Secondly, the same goes for supply.

The money Zhu Jun lent would be repaid in three years.

The discussion lasted until sunset before the two left.

Zhu Jun took a sip of water to moisten his throat and couldn't help laughing. Overseas trade was nothing more than silk, with porcelain accounting for the majority, and then books, medicinal materials, cane sugar, tea and so on.

How much money can you make?

The mirror, sugar, and glass utensils in his hand, which one is not more likely to be sold at a higher price than these?

If penicillin comes out in the future, and one tube costs hundreds of taels, there will be many people buying it!

If these things were sold to the west, it would definitely be like stealing money.

It's not a big problem to make hundreds of thousands of taels on a sea trip.

It's a pity that he will no longer be a vassal in a short time, otherwise he will get rid of Fuzhong and others and make a net profit.

However, you can also take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the waterways, train qualified sailors, and lay the foundation for future sea trade.

Although he is now contributing money and effort, it seems that he is losing money.

But Yongpingfu Seaport Terminal is controlled by the government. How many people can go to sea from there?

How much trouble can be saved now that the two of them jump in to matchmaking?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly recruited Li Jiba and asked him to select hundreds of people who were good at water and loyal.

Li Jiba was shocked when he heard that Zhu Jun was going to sea trade, "Your Highness wants to spread the organization to the countries in Southeast Asia?"

"What you said reminds me!" Zhu Jun thought for a moment and used sea trade to spread the Tianming Organization there so that he could sell goods better.

Secondly, you can search for spices from Nanyang. When you go there, it will be filled with Daye's goods. When you come back to pack spices, you can make a lot of money when you return to Daye.

"It's not easy to get a firm foothold over there!" Zhu Jun said.

"It's precisely because it's not easy that we have to do it. If there are any developments in Nanyang in the future, we can report them in time!" Li Ji said domineeringly.

"Go for it!"

"Wei Chen resigns!"

After Li Jiba left, Zhu Jun stretched himself. He was not too busy every day.

The next day, Zhu Gu entered the Fengtian Palace and said, "Father, the emperor and my sons have decided to go to Ganzhou Mansion to guard the border!"

"You figured it out?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Didn't you say you don't have the ability?"

"Yes, I am indeed afraid that I will not be able to do this well, but there must be someone to do the work, and there must be someone to guard the borders.

It was my sixth brother who chatted with me for a long time that made him understand how much he disappointed his father with what he had done!

As a prince, he didn't want to be loyal to his country and allowed himself to be dominated by the fear in his heart. He refused to face reality on the grounds of studying the art of Qihuang.

It’s really inappropriate!

Please punish me!" Zhu Pin knelt on the ground with a very sincere attitude.

The anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face faded a lot. He looked at Zhu Pin and thought about what Zhu Jun said to him to make him change so much.

Before, he looked like he would not be beaten to death and would let you do whatever you wanted.

And now that he has completely changed his past and still looks ashamed, it is simply...unbelievable!
