    Tianjin Xincheng Guanhai Tower.

    ??The Guanhai Tower in Tianjin and the Wangyue Tower in Beijing are both famous restaurants in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The Guanhai Tower is located in a very good location, in the core area of ??Tianjin New Town.

    Guanhai Building is built of reinforced concrete, with eight floors and a total height of more than ten feet. It is all decorated with the most fashionable full-glass windows. You can enjoy delicious food upstairs while overlooking the prosperity of Tianjin New Town. It is regarded as a landmark of Tianjin.  architecture.

    A meal at Guanhailou costs at least dozens of taels of silver. Only the real rich and powerful can enjoy it here. Generally, small landowners and wealthy people in the countryside are reluctant to come here to spend money.

    At this time, the top two floors of Guanhai Building, the entire eighth and seventh floors were occupied by people. Big figures from the Beijing and Tianjin areas were constantly coming in and out, as well as some big businessmen from the south.  Representatives of big families also came here one after another.

    The seventh floor is very lively. Big businessmen, emerging capitalists, powerful representatives from the capital, etc. all dressed in brocade clothes and rich in wealth gather together. They talk and laugh with each other. While chatting, they also look at the general public from time to time.  The stairs to the eighth floor seemed to be waiting for something.

    Among these people were Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, Ye Li and others, representatives of Huizhou merchants from the Jiangnan area. This time they found out a piece of news easily.

    That is, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company will organize a fleet to go to the Nanyang region and open up routes to the Nanyang region. If conditions permit, they will even go to Tianzhu and Arabia in South Asia.

    As soon as this news came out, the dignitaries, capitalists, and businessmen in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area were extremely excited. At the same time, as the news spread, even Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, Ye Li, and other big businessmen, big families, and big gentry in the south knew about it.  , was also in a hurry, and rushed to Tianjin through the starry night.

    ?? Tianjin Ocean Trading House, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was jointly established by His Royal Highness the Prince and Liu Jin to specialize in ocean trading. Today, it is this Tianjin Ocean Trading House that travels to North Korea and Japan the most.

    It would be good if other businessmen could go there once a month. Tianjin Ocean Trading Company was the first to try it, and it has extremely strong capital. In addition, it also has the support of Tianjin Shipyard and Tianjin Maritime University, so it is also the largest one now.  The Ocean Trading Company has hundreds of merchant ships going to North Korea and Japan every month, earning a steady stream of money.

    Now Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is going to open up a new route to the Nanyang region. People who know the news are very excited and swarm over to Tianjin to find out the specific news.

    Of course, the most important thing is to see if I can board the giant ship of Tianjin Ocean Trading House and go to the Nanyang region to make a fortune together.

    There are so many merchant ships going to Tianjin and Japan that the profits from going to Japan and North Korea are now plummeting.

    At the beginning, it was no problem to make a million taels of silver on a trip to Japan and Korea, but now.

    With the frequent trade exchanges, the people of Japan and North Korea are not fools, and they are competing with each other. The profit of a trip to Japan and North Korea is now only less than 300,000 taels of silver.

    However, this ocean-going ship is very expensive, plus the crew expenses, cost expenses, etc. are also very high. We also urgently need to open up new routes and open up new markets to meet the growing demand and satisfy the capital's demand for profits.  The chase.

    Going to Huanghuangzhou is a craze, but the time to go to Huanghuangzhou is after the beginning of spring, and it is safer to start in the summer.

    What's more important is that the fleet heading to Golden Continent requires very strong strength. Most people can't do it at all. Without enough funds, you can't even afford a ship, not to mention hiring crew members and preparing various supplies.  etc.

    Now that Nanyang routes have been opened, the Nanyang region is much closer than the Golden Continent, and everyone is more familiar with it. After all, Annan, Siam, Luzon, etc. in the Nanyang region also had contacts with the Ming Dynasty in history. In the past, they were still vassal of the Ming Dynasty.  The country often came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

    This is especially true for Annan, which was deeply influenced by Chinese civilization. The kings of Annan needed to be canonized by the Ming Emperor to be considered truly legitimate kings.

    Going to the Nanyang region, in everyone's opinion, has low risks and high profits. The Nanyang region is very large and has many countries. If you can reach Tianzhu, Ceylon and other places in South Asia through the Nanyang region, the profits will be even more considerable.

    ¡°In addition, everyone is smart and wants to be the first to eat crabs.

    Tianjin YuanEach of the more than ten people is a real dignitary of the Ming Dynasty, a newly powerful capitalist, a big businessman, and a big landowner.

    Among them are Cui Wenjin, the general manager of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, who represents the current Crown Prince and Liu Jin, and Zhang Fen from Sangong Ocean Trading Company, who represents Ding Guogong, Ying Gong, and Cheng Guogong of the Ming Dynasty.  Xungui Group.

    In addition, the two brothers Shouninghou and Jianchangbo from Tianjin also came in person. At this time, they were sitting in the most important position, drinking tea leisurely and listening.

    In addition, there was Xu Long who came from Nanjing to represent Wei Guogong. With the huge trading profits from the ocean, Wei Guogong in Nanjing couldn't sit still. This time he also sent someone over.

    Of course, Xu Long not only represents Wei Guogong, but also represents the big businessmen, big gentry, big families and big landowners in the Jiangnan area.

    In recent years, with the rise of capitalists in the Beijing-Tianjin region and the development of ocean trade, southerners like them have not been able to share their own cake, which is extremely unbalanced in their hearts.

    Originally, the idea was to use means to restrict imperial power and suppress the development of emerging capitalists and ocean-going industries in the north. However, the theft of official warehouses, the Li Guang case, and the case involving the army on Emperor Hongzhi's side gave a heavy blow to Jiangnan Shilin.  blow.

    Originally, officials from the Jiangnan region accounted for half of the imperial court. However, after these three cases, the number of officials from the Jiangnan region decreased significantly.

    Those who were killed were killed, those who were demoted were demoted, and some were exiled. The remaining people were also frightened and did not dare to act rashly again, for fear that they would also suffer disaster.

    Even Xie Qian, one of the three elders in the cabinet, no longer has much say in the court. Most of the time, he only sees and listens to all matters, big and small, without expressing his own opinions.

    Such a huge change also made people in the Jiangnan area understand one thing. They cannot force themselves to fight against the imperial power, especially now that Emperor Hongzhi has money and soldiers, and he is still holding your pigtails in his hands.

    "If you insist on taking care of Emperor Hongzhi, you will die even more miserably."

    Since you can¡¯t force yourself to eat meat, what should you do if you want to eat meat?

    Of course we can only keep up with the trend and cooperate proactively.

    So not only Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, Ye Li and other Hui merchants and big salt merchants came to Tianjin, preparing the fleet to Huanghuangzhou, but they also wanted to follow them to Nanyang to make a fortune.

    Even top wealthy families like Wei Guogong couldn't sit still. They also sent people to Tianjin and wanted to share the fruits of ocean trade.

    "Cui Wenjin, what does Liu Jin mean?"

    "There is a rumor here, and no one will come to such an important matter."

    Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling said to Cui Wenjin with some dissatisfaction.

    "That's right, Liu Jin, please come over."

    Xu Long also followed up and said that Xu Long is a branch of Wei Guogong, not a direct descendant, but he is obviously an extremely important person to be sent here.

    "Sorry, sorry~"

    "As everyone knows, Mr. Liu has been busy with the new army recently. He is really busy. With the emperor's orders, there is nothing he can do."

    Cui Wenjin immediately explained to everyone with a smile on his face.

    In fact, Liu Jin is in Tianjin and has plenty of time. However, Liu Jin is now a fifth-rank official. It is indeed inconvenient to come forward in person when there are things that happen. He can just leave it to the people below.

    "Well, if I had known earlier, I would have gone directly to Liu Jin to save myself the trouble of having a messenger in the middle."

    Zhang Heling curled his lips slightly and nodded.

    "We are almost here, and there are many people waiting downstairs. Please tell us what kind of regulations this opening of the Nanyang route is. In this case, everyone can prepare early."

    Shouning Hou Zhang Yanling was relatively more patient. He looked at everyone, thought about it and said, here, he has the greatest status, the brother-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi and the uncle of Prince Zhu Houzhao.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
