Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 268: Amazing wealth
After coming out of the capital, Zhu Yunwen followed Wu Mian and the convoy of the returnees for more than half a month, and finally arrived at the wharf in Quanzhou. At this time, under the arrangement of the old guy, the large sea ship for the owner was already waiting here.

At this point, the preparations for going to sea had stopped, and Zhu Yunwen got off the carriage and directly boarded the big boat. Then, after the big ship lifted anchor and headed for the Fortuna Island of Surabaya, it drove over.
The first time Zhu Yunwen saw the sea, he looked a little excited while standing on the deck. Then, under the guidance of the ship's boss, he turned the ship around the three floors below, and then said to Gui Bugui: "I heard that the Sishui is so rich before, but I didn't expect it to be so rich. I have never heard of such a large ship before. , when I was the grandson of the emperor before, I saw a few official ships on the Qinhuai River. But compared with the big ships here, they can only be regarded as small sampans..."
After returning, he smiled and said, "This black pot can't be placed on the head of the old man. It was left by the children of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan. I just picked up a ready-made bargain for the old man. "
At this time, the steward of the Surabaya who stayed on the ship found his way back. After hesitating for a moment, he was about to lie in the old guy's ear and whisper a few words. However, he was pushed away with a smile and said, "What's so sneaky? Just say anything, the old man, I didn't carry what others said..."
After hesitating for a while, the steward said with a smile: "Liu Xi's old boss has prepared the account books of the Surabaya over the years. He said that your old man will be floating at sea for more than ten days. By the way, check it out. The accounts of these years will be handed over directly to Fortuna Island. Now the account book is ready, you can check it at any time.”
"Old man, why should I check those things carefully?" Gui Bugui smiled and shook his head, then continued: "It's something that your two bosses gave away for nothing. My old man's checking accounts here seems to be selective. When I go out to the old man's house, will I, the new owner of the Surabaya, still be a human?"
"Brothers still have to settle accounts, what's the point." After hearing the words of returning home, Zhu Yunwen immediately became interested. Immediately he came over and said to the old guy, "Lord Immortal, just check their Sishui account. Let me also see how rich this buyer is..."
At this time, Bai Wuqiu, who was also curious in his heart, followed: "I'm on the side of the little emperor this time, why should I know how much advantage you took? I also want to know that once you have three strengths and two weaknesses, How much inheritance can Lao Tzu get from you."
After Gui Bugui gave a wry smile, he said, "Then forget it... Otherwise, the old man, I am also worried that the silly boy will attract the Kraken and kill the old man on the way."
At the moment, the steward invited them all to the deck. Afterwards, the sailors were asked to take out all the accounts placed in the cabin below. Originally, they thought that if they had more money, it would be almost enough to have one or two hundred account books. Unexpectedly, these sailors walked up and down for more than an hour, and finally the account book was full of decks and stacked high.
After seeing that the account books were arranged according to their colors, the steward dragged Kuai Wugui and the others around the account books and said as they walked, "There are seventy-nine thousand three hundred and twenty-nine account books in total, you old man. Look at the yellow cover here for Surabaya and Middle-earth. The blue cover is for Persia and the white cover is for India and Southeast Asia."
At this time, even if he didn't return, he straightened his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, the old guy said, "Didn't your two old owners move out all the accounts since the establishment of the Surabaya? It will take two or three hundred years to finish reading it, right?"
"You're joking, my boss, these are only the accounts of the Surabaya in the past ten years." The steward pointed to the accounts on the deck with a smiling face, and after a pause, he continued: "There have been some newly built shops in the past ten years. There are also settlements after some shops have been closed. In addition to these, there are surpluses of shops and surpluses of caravans. Over the years, the Surabaya has also won some mining rights in Persia and India, as well as local land, as well as with local officials. Working together in business..."
"Okay, don't talk too much, just talk about how much money the Surabaya ship can take in a year?" Bai Wuqiu's head was dizzy, and it stopped the steward who was still talking. After a pause, he continued: "I just asked how much money I can earn a year? >
The steward knew Bai Wuqiu's identity, so he glanced at Guibugui, smiled awkwardly, and continued: "Because the flow of money varies from place to place, Persia is heavy gold, and Middle Earth is heavy silver. If they are converted into In terms of silver, last year..."
While speaking, the steward knelt on the deck and found a gold-covered ledger. Then he opened the account book and read: "The annual surplus of the Surabaya ship is about 80 million taels... But it does not include jewelry and other items. According to the rules, those treasures are the owner's private treasury. It's not for me, a small butler, to know how much the warehouse has. It does not include the grain, silk and other items in stock. According to the rules, if these goods are not sold, they cannot be priced. One price..."
"Eighty million taels are still up and down..." Before Bai Wuqiu could speak, Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened. He is a person who has been an emperor, and he has seen the world. However, I was still taken aback by this figure. Daming's annual tax revenue is only a few million taels, and the Surabaya number is more than ten times that of Daming...
At this time, Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said to Guibugui: "Old Immortal, I regret it... I should have given you the country and exchanged the business with you for the Surabaya..."
Wugui was also taken aback by this number. At this time, he completely understood why Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan gave him such a rich deal. The Surabaya was too rich, and the two brothers could no longer contain such a huge wealth. So every day I have to worry about dying because of the wealth dragged down, it is better to give the Surabaya to someone who can hold it...
After knowing the Surabaya's one-year surplus, these people want to know how much the Surabaya has now. However, the steward could only take out the ledger, and the general ledger had to be obtained from Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan in person after they arrived at Fortune Island.
I didn't even bother to check the accounts when I returned or not. The old guy just got the golden-covered account book from the steward. When people were transporting the remaining tens of thousands of account books, they suddenly heard the voice of the ship's boss from the deck below: "Master! The merchant ship with our Surabaya, the Persian chief steward of the flag on the ship, press the button. It is stipulated that they should come to meet, or should they let the Persians come to meet..."
"What is there to see, let them do what they should do, and don't delay the business." After returning a smile, he continued: "When we meet sooner or later, it's better not to see now."
After the captain of the boat below agreed, there was a sound of drumming from the next door. After a while of drumming, the opposite ship should respond. What they didn't expect was that the ship on the opposite side didn't respond, and it was still slowly driving towards their large ship along the channel.
The captain of the ship once again uttered a murmur, but still did not wait for a response from the opposite ship. Now things got weird. After discussing with Gui Bugui, the boat boss sent out two small boats to check.
Just as the two small boats were heading towards the opposite sea boat, a fog suddenly appeared on the sea. Then the fog became heavier and heavier, and after a while, the two boats had disappeared into the fog. In the beginning, the three ships were still able to communicate with drums, but it didn't take long for the drums of the two boats to disappear. No matter how the big ships made drums, there was still no reply...
At this time, Wu Mian, who had been staying in the cabin without showing up, finally appeared. The white-haired man walked to the foggy deck and said to Gui Bugui, "It's a little weird..."
