"Sea trade?!"
The merchants were slightly taken aback when they heard Chen Mo mention investing in sea trade rather than a money house. It was clear that Chen Mo intended to use their hands to establish the money house, but the reward, or profit, was in sea trade.
Isn't this just using the chicken to lay eggs? The most critical point is he still wants to take a thirty percent share for the trade association.
Moreover, they were all involved in inland trade and were not very knowledgeable about overseas trade. They had only heard that every time the Court ventured out to sea, there were massive losses, leading the civil and military officials to persistently petition to shut down sea trade.
This made the merchants feel that Chen Mo was not thinking about leading them to make money but rather using them to establish the money house.
