Speaking of maritime trade, Zhao Yao explained in detail to He Lianfang the benefits of maritime trade.
He Lianfang wasn't very familiar with maritime trade, but after listening to Zhao Yao, he felt that maritime trade was just like a "money pouch".
"I've read books, those overseas countries have many gold mountains and silver mountains. If we can get hold of their gold and silver mountains, Great Zhou would be rich." Zhao Yao pondered, thinking that the places with gold and silver mountains seemed to be near Japan. In the future, he must find a way to conquer them and get those gold and silver mountains.
"What, are you thinking of going overseas in the future?"
"I have this idea."
"You are quite ambitious," He Lianfang said, suddenly recalling Zhao Yao's previous arrangement of trade caravans to the Western Regions. He instantly understood some things. "You arranged trade caravans to the Western Regions mainly to make money, didn't you?"
