Because this is the first time that the government has done overseas trade in a big way, it has not only received a lot of tariffs, but also brought back the materials, gold, silver and jewelry needed by Da Zhou when these people come back from Nanyang.
At that time, there will be import tariffs.
Import and export can be taxed, and among them are 30 ships of emperor Zhou'an and the income of emperor merchants of the Xue family. According to the expectation, they can also earn a lot of money.
Therefore, this time, thousands of Navy troops escorted these seagoing ships to the south of the Yangtze River for the reason of military training, so as to ensure the safety of seagoing ships.
With the official escort, these sea merchants were completely relieved. Following the imperial court's caravan, they could be invincible except for the bad weather.
Xue pan is not at ease. After this incident, he has become a lot calm. He wants to use his own actions to tell those who pay attention to the Xue family that Xue pan can also revive the Xue family and go to Nanyang with the fleet in person.
In order to revive the family business of the Xue family, Xue pan worked hard this time. In addition, he also learned a lot from reversing the case.
Wealth and honor are in danger. If you are not willing to take risks, how can you get wealth and honor?
My father used to go to sea. This time it's time for him.
After Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai received Xue Pan's letter, Xue pan is now on the merchant ship of the Xue family, and is getting farther and farther away from Jinling, and is about to go to Nanyang.
Aunt Xue fainted directly after receiving Xue Pan's letter.
How can it be so easy to make a living at sea?
If the ship sank, it would not reach the sky and the ground, so that it should not go up every day and the earth is not working!
Xue Baochai hurriedly asked the doctor to take care of her mother while admiring that her eldest brother is becoming more and more like a man with a burden.
If the eldest brother can come back smoothly, he will definitely be able to convince the public and become the head of the Xue family and the emperor's business.
Under the doctor's acupuncture, Aunt Xue woke up slowly, "Pan'er, my son, you are so cruel. Unexpectedly, you left me and your sister alone, alone..."
Hearing his mother's cry, Xue Baochai quickly stopped, "Mom, my brother is fine. If you cry like this, others think my brother is gone!
My brother said in his letter that there are hundreds of ships going to sea this time, which is very large, and the imperial court has specially sent naval troops to escort. Although there are risks along the way, there will not be too much danger. "
Aunt Xue burst into tears and kept crying, "my Pan'er, what should I do? Baochai, write to your brother and let your brother come back."
Xue Baochai frowned. She had heard her father say about the caravan before. Now, calculating the time, her brother had left Dazhou and went to those countries in Nanyang.
"Mom, even if I send someone, my brother is no longer on the Dazhou Road, but on the waterway. Maybe he has arrived in Nanyang now." Xue Baochai replied, "my brother now knows how to run ahead. Let's stay at home and pray that my brother can come back safely and don't let my brother worry about his future.
By the way, housekeeper Xue and his brother have found Xiangling's home. It turns out that Xiangling is a scholarly family in Gusu, and her father Zhen Shiyin is still a scholar.
I have spent all my money looking for my daughter these years. Since Xiangling has such a relationship with our Xue family, my brother and housekeeper Xue have settled Xiangling's family. When my brother comes back, I will hire him and marry Xiangling. "
"Ah?" Aunt Xue was stunned and immediately showed her dissatisfied expression. "Xiangling is just a little servant girl. It's OK to be a concubine, but it's not good to be a wife. Her identity is too low."
