Li Miao took a look at the harvest and it was indeed quite a lot. The goods worth more than 3 million taels were exchanged for nearly 10 million taels, which was a huge profit in itself. Plus these precious Chinese medicinal materials and the furs of rare animals, at least

It's worth three to four million taels of silver.

Wang Yonggui was extremely excited. This money was so profitable. More than three million taels of silver turned into more than ten million taels of silver. It took less than two months. No wonder Li Miao insisted on doing it even if he took some risks. If he had known it,

What else can you say when the profits are so high?

Li Miao seemed to have read Wang Yonggui's thoughts, "Butler Wang, at best it's once a year, preferably once every two years, and the profits in the future won't be so high."

Wang Yonggui thought about it. This was the first sea trade with Goryeo, and things were rare and expensive. If he went to Goryeo next year, he would not be able to make such high profits again.

Li Miao continued, "Next year we can arrange for two three-sail ships to go to Japan for sea trade. Japan's sea trade profits should be higher than those of Goryeo."

Li Miao knew that Japan was more developed than Korea both geographically and economically, and Japan was rich in silver resources.

Japan's sea trade revenue next year will still be considerable, but pirates are rampant in Japanese waters, so Li Miao will arrange for two large-scale ships to go there next year. As Li Miao's power grows, Japanese pirates are no longer in Li Miao's eyes.

This time, Korea's sea trade has achieved great success. The second three-sailed large ship at Chengzikou Port on Lingshan Island will soon be launched again. Li Miao and his subordinates are also very excited. The money is so profitable.

Li Miao also had clear rewards and punishments. The sailors and escorts on this maiden voyage were given a reward of more than 200,000 taels of silver, and they were also given a month's leave in turn.

Li Miao wanted to use money to stimulate the rapid development of ocean trade, so that sailors and guards would compete to board large ships. Let capable guards compete to board large ships.

Because of Li Miao's move, the economy of Qingzhou City was directly boosted. In a short period of time, prices in Qingzhou City increased by 20%. Several new brothels were opened.

These sailor guards already have high incomes, and with the silver bounty this time, most of them are bachelor guards. Sailors usually have money and nowhere to spend it. They usually have food and clothing from their employers, so this is a holiday, so try your best

Spend your money.

As a result, there were too many sailors and guards vying to get on the big ship. Wang Yonggui had to raise the threshold again. The second three-sailed big ship had not yet been launched. The quotas for the sailors and guards on the ship had already been booked.

Nowadays, it has become an honor for sailors who can board a three-sailed large ship to be escorted. Indeed, for any sailor who can board a three-sailed large ship, the ability of the guards is not outstanding. He is definitely the best among Li Miao's men.

This time, the three-sailed ship made a big splash in Goryeo. The force value of these sailors and guards was undeniably strong in this era of cold weapons.

If Wang Yonggui hadn't suppressed them in Goryeo this time, they would have almost fought in Goryeo. The three-sailed ship docked at Lushunkou for supplies on its return trip. There was a conflict between the guards at Lushunkou and the Jurchen guards at the local port.

The Jurchen guards finally backed down, of course due to the strength of the three-sailed large ship. At that time, many large ship guards proposed to capture Port Arthur.

Wang Yonggui was also a little excited at the time. In order to develop ocean trade in the future, it was necessary to occupy a port on the Liaodong Peninsula as a supply point. The guarding force of Port Arthur was quite limited.

It was not difficult to seize Lushun Port with the combat power of the three-sailed ship. To be cautious, Wang Yonggui did not take action and asked Li Miao for instructions after returning to the voyage.

Li Miao is also happy. He is also making plans for the Liaodong Peninsula. Being in the Dazheng Dynasty always makes him feel timid.

Being able to take over a piece of land in the coastal area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula as one's own private territory. On the one hand, one's own long-distance ships will have a port of their own.

On the second hand, you can rely on the port to gradually develop farmland, accumulate food, and cultivate your own power. There you can let go of your hands and feet. Now that you have no shortage of money, you can definitely do something big.

Most of the current Liaodong Peninsula is in a primitive state. Except for a few ports occupied by Jurchens, there is very little cultivated land and the land is fertile. After all, the Jurchens and their Han slaves do not have a large population.

If Li Miao can occupy a port in the Liaodong Peninsula, he will no longer have to keep such a low profile and can quickly expand himself in the Liaodong Peninsula. He can also resettle some northern refugees this winter.

As Li Miao's strength in the Liaodong Peninsula grows, he can contain the Jurchen tribe's attack on the Zheng Dynasty. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.

Li Miao clicked on a port east of Lushunkou on the chart. Zhuanghekou Port is about 200 miles away from Lushunkou Port.

"Steward Wang, Lushun Port has too great influence. Even if we occupy it, we will incur a strong counterattack from the Jurchens. We don't have this kind of strength now. This is Zhuanghe Port."

Lushunkou Port is not a good place for Li Miao in terms of geographical location or economic value. Jurchens cannot give up easily. It is easy to occupy but difficult to hold, let alone develop. For Li Miao, it is not a good place yet, so it is better to occupy Zhuanghekou Port first.

Compared with Lushun Port in all aspects, Zhuanghekou Port is not even a little bit worse than Lushun Port. It is of little significance to the Jurchens. They are waiting for Li Miao to develop and grow. When the Jurchens realize it, Zhuanghekou Port has become a hard stone.

.

After Wang Yonggui's long voyage to trade, his horizons have broadened a lot, and the bank of Lingshan Island has more than ten million taels of silver. Indeed, it is difficult for the Dong family to develop in a low-key manner in the Dazheng Dynasty. The only way is to jump out and Zhuang

Hekou Port is indeed a good place.

The key is to keep a low profile and not alert the Jurchens for the time being. Li Miao and Wang Yonggui spent a long time together. Soon, orders were issued from the small room where they were located, and the high-level mobilization of Li Miao's forces began.

The intensity made the senior officials of the Southern Bureau and the Northern Bureau amazed. Then Li Zuhua was promoted to the chief executive of the Southern Bureau, and Li Xilin was appointed assistant manager. Hu Si was promoted to the chief guard of the Southern Bureau.

Wang Daoqi, Hu Yong, Li San, Hu Wu and others from the former Southern Bureau also have important responsibilities.

Although the Northern Bureau is not as powerful as the Southern Bureau, it is also mobilized frequently. Li Miao considered that there will be a big change this winter, so he is open to the Northern Bureau and tries to preserve the strength of the Northern Bureau. Only a few high-level officials are transferred.

.

The top management of the Southern Bureau had a major change, and less than half of the escort force was redeployed. Soon the transferred personnel dragged their families and took a small double-sailed boat to Lingshan Island. Li Miao left Butler Wang behind.

Lingshan Island is busy.

Li Miao quickly returned to Qingzhou City. First, he brought the rare Korean medicinal materials obtained from this sea trade into the inner space. He cleared a piece of land and planted the surviving medicinal materials.

With the turmoil of the Great Zheng Dynasty, medicinal materials became another large series of varieties in Li Miao's inner space. Local medicinal materials in the Great Zheng Dynasty also began to be cultivated in the inner space.
