In Chang'an City in September, the weather has become cooler.

However, Champa is still enveloped by a heat wave.

As soon as Yu Chihuan and his entourage arrived at a market, they saw several shops selling spices.

"Luo Sandao, is there a lot of spices in this Zhancheng?"

There are many spices in the South Seas, but what kind of multi-method, Yu Chihuan has no concept.

At present, he saw several shops selling spices at once, which gave him an illusion.

Could it be that Champa is full of spices?

"Lang Jun, Zhancheng is naturally rich in spices, but if you really want to say too much, it's not too much. Far from being everywhere. It's just that it may be much more than Datang. ”

Luo Sandao hadn't been to too many places, so let him judge what the spice production of Zhancheng was, and he really didn't know what to say.

However, according to his statement, he was barely right.

"Forget it, let's go, go in and ask how the spices are sold here, maybe we will bring a batch of spices back here on the way back."

Wei Chihuan didn't have much hope for Luo Sandao either.

As soon as Yu Chihuan and his entourage entered the shop, a shopkeeper with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks came to everyone, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Lang Jun, what are you asking us for?"

Luo Sandao said that he would occupy the city, but it doesn't seem to be all fake.

"This is cinnamon, right? How to sell? ”

Wei Chihuan looked at the spices in the shop, found something he was more familiar with, and began to ask about the price.

This cinnamon, when stewing mutton, add a little to it, and the effect of removing the smell is very good.

In Chang'an City, it is also something that belongs to the noble family, even when it is the cheapest, it costs more than ten yuan for a catty.

"Lang Jun, he asked us if we had anything to exchange with him?"

It seems that this shopkeeper is also a smart man.

He knew very well that his own cinnamon was not a valuable thing in Champa, and even if he sold it, he would not make much money unless it was in large quantities.

But it's different.

The Tang man in front of him was obviously from the north, and many things that were worthless in his eyes were expensive in Zhancheng.

The shopkeeper has tasted the sweetness before.

"Change? It's okay to change it. Silk, porcelain and glass mirrors are all fine, how to change it? ”

There were also a lot of silk from the pirate house on the ship, plus some porcelain and glass mirrors that he had already brought with him, so Wei Chihuan didn't mind replacing a batch of them in Zhancheng.

This time to the south, according to the chart provided by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it should be half completed, at most continue to go south for another thousand miles, and it is almost time to consider returning.

In the absence of sufficient strongholds, the fleet is not suitable to continue walking in unfamiliar waters.

As for the stronghold, you have to take some time to find a place with a suitable port, preferably the same place as Dara'a Island, which is the safest and most secure.

"What is a glass mirror? Lang Jun, he said if you could show him. ”

After Luo Sandao finished speaking, he also looked at Yu Chihuan with a curious expression.

Whether it's silk or porcelain, although he can't afford to wear it, he can't afford to use it, but he has seen it anyway.

As for the mirror, the bronze mirror has been seen several times in Champong, but the glass mirror is ......

What is glass?

I've never heard of it before.

"Brother Wei Chi, I have a side here, give!"

Fang Yiai on the side actually took out a palm-sized glass mirror from his arms, which made Yu Chihuan look at him suspiciously.

A big man with a mirror with him......

I didn't find out that he had this hobby before, huh?

"Huh?"

Some words are universal, and without waiting for Luo Sandao to say anything, the shopkeeper couldn't help but let out an exclamation when he saw the peeling mirror that Fang Yiai took out.

At this time, the sun was in mid-air, and the sunlight was just enough to shine into the shop.

The glass mirror wrapped in silver, under the reflection of the sunlight, emitted a shining light, and the piercing Wei Chihuan did not dare to stare at the mirror.

"Lang Jun, he said he could show him, right?"

Luo Sandao resisted his curiosity and patiently helped translate the shopkeeper's words.

Wei Chihuan is not stupid, seeing the reactions of these people, he knows that the glass mirror is here, and it is definitely a priceless thing.

This thing, when it was originally in the Treasure Pavilion, was also sold for a hundred yuan.

Even if the production increases and the mirror becomes larger, such a glass mirror in front of him will still be sold for twenty or thirty yuan in the Treasure Pavilion.

No way, monopoly, that's how profitable it is.

"This glass mirror is made of glass produced in the far north, and it takes 7749 craftsmen to go through 9981 processes and take a month to make it."

Yu Chihuan's eyes rolled, and he said with a serious face, and then gave the glass mirror to the other party.

Fang Yiai on the side listened to Yu Chihuan's words, and her eyes were about to fall off.

Wasn't this glass mirror produced in the workshop of the Chu Palace?

Although I haven't visited it myself, I've never heard of its production process being so complicated.

As for the Far North......

Fang Yiai felt a little dizzy.

Where am I?

What do I want to do?

"It's too clear, it's so clear. This is simply a fairy baby. ”

Wei Chihuan's words, in the eyes of Fang Yiai, are full of falsehood and exaggeration.

But in the ears of that shopkeeper, it felt very real.

Isn't it natural that such a treasure was made with all kinds of hardships and hardships?

"This glass mirror, in our Tang Dynasty, is also a rare object, and non-princes and nobles have no chance to use it. If you have this mirror and dedicate it to your king, maybe you will be able to get a job and a half-job. ”

Yu Chihuan continued to play his trick skills, and Luo Sandao translated carefully with light in his eyes, for fear of missing a word.

The Heavenly Empire, indeed the Heavenly Empire.

Such a fetish can be made.,It seems,I'm with the right person.。

"I want this mirror, you look at this, a hundred catties of cinnamon, how about I exchange a hundred catties of cinnamon for this mirror?"

After the shopkeeper's surprise, he squinted his eyes and began to talk to Yu Chihuan about the price.

Hiss!

Yu Chihuan gasped.

A hundred pounds of cinnamon?

If this is in Chang'an City, I'm afraid it won't be worth thousands of dollars.

Just change this mirror?

He still seems to be very willing.

Wei Chi's face did not change, but in his mind, he desperately recalled some of the things that Li Kuan mentioned when he chatted with him.

"Huh? A hundred pounds?

Wei Chihuan frowned, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he quickly stretched out two fingers, "That...... Those two hundred pounds? This cinnamon, even if it is in our city, it is more difficult to collect, we have to prepare two hundred catties, I don't know how many osmanthus trees need to be cut down. ”

"Three hundred, three hundred. If you say yes, this mirror is yours! ”

"Deal!"

After listening to Luo Sandao's translation, the shopkeeper quickly agreed.

It felt like a big advantage.

And Yu Chihuan also felt good, and he talked from 100 catties to 300 catties.

The cinnamon that this mirror alone was exchanged for, and when it was brought back to Chang'an City, it could be exchanged for thousands of dollars.

The Tang people who came up from the dock brought a lot of treasures. There is a shop in the east, and it only cost 300 catties of cinnamon to exchange for a priceless treasure mirror.

These Tang people need to procure a large number of fruits, vegetables, grains, and other goods.

These Tang people were very bold in their actions, and even the ordinary crew members were much richer than those from Persia.

……

All kinds of rumors spread throughout the port on the day that Wei Chihuan and his party arrived in Zhancheng.

"Lang Jun, in my opinion, we should replenish fresh water and food first, and exchange the goods for gold, silver, copper coins, and spices, and it is okay to purchase them on the return trip."

Seeing that Yu Chihuan arranged for someone to move three hundred catties of cinnamon onto the ship, Zhu Erfu persuaded on the side.

"yes, we're going to find Spice Island. The nautical chart given by the prince and Zhenla and Puluo did not go to a few places. ”

Fang Yiai's mirror was replaced with three hundred catties of cinnamon, and he was excited for a while.

However, he thought that he would have to continue further south, and perhaps the spices would be cheaper there, and he was eager to leave tomorrow.

"Okay, then let's rest here for three days, get enough fresh food, and we'll continue south."

Wei Chihuan also knew that this time of navigation, exploring routes was the first, and trade was second.

As long as you figure out the sea route, you will have the opportunity to make money in the future.

That night, the crew, who had been floating at sea for a long time, had a big meal and drink together on the pier.

Considering that this was a rare opportunity for the crew to relax, except for the dozens of people in charge of guarding, Wei Chihuan didn't care what others liked to do.

It is difficult to get a city without a curfew at night, so Yang Qiwa naturally followed Chen Si'er and a few others ashore to take a good turn.

"Qiwa, a brother just came back and said that there is a good place to go on the east side of the dock, let's go and have a look."

Chen Si'er said to Yang Qiwa with a mysterious face.

Yang Qiwa and Chen Si'er came from a village, although they are not on the same boat, but their relationship with each other is very good.

Since Chen Si'er has a good place to recommend, Yang Qiwa naturally has no doubt about him.

The two walked past the pier, attracting the attention of many Cham people around.

At this time, the Tang people, whether they were Japanese or Zhancheng, were generally much taller.

The most important thing is that in this area of Zhancheng, even if you don't say it, you are very yearning for it in your heart.

This degree of worship is definitely more exaggerated than the Chinese people's worship of Lao Mei in the eighties and nineties.

"Qiwa, it's just these families, it's okay."

After Chen Si'er finished speaking, he showed a special smile, pushed the door and walked in.

……

Three days later, the fleet finally set sail again and continued southward.

But Yang Qiwa stood on the mast with black eyes, and immediately ran back to the cabin to make up for sleep when it was her turn to rest.

The people of Champa were so welcoming.

I felt like my legs were going to be too weak to walk.

And Wei Chihuan and Fang Yiai patrolled around the inside and outside of the ship, and saw that although the crew members were tired, their mental state was very good, and they didn't look like they had left Dengzhou and floated on the sea for half a year.

"Brother Wei Chi, how about it, the plan I said is very effective, right?"

Fang Yiai showed a sinister smile.

For a long time, how to ensure that the crew obeys the rules and disciplines and ensures that their mental state is normal is a headache during the long-term voyage at sea.

In particular, the ships of this era sailed relatively slowly, coupled with the lack of mobile phones and computers, and most people were illiterate.

Aside from playing mahjong, fishing, and swimming, there are really not many activities to regulate the body and mind.

When the East China Sea fishery was in the Wa Kingdom, Fang Yiai unexpectedly found that every time the crew arrived at the port, they would become excited.

At first, Fang Yiai thought that they had been floating on the sea for a long time and had seen land, so they were very happy.

Later, I found that I had found the wrong point.

It is said that there are several green houses in Nambatsu that specialize in the fishing business in the East China Sea.

……

There was no ribbon-cutting ceremony and no opening ceremony.

The cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, after nearly two years of construction, has finally been completely completed.

In addition to the villagers in Peach Village, who enjoyed the convenience of the opening of the cement road early, there is also a shop in Chang'an City, which is also a particularly obvious beneficiary.

"Lang Jun, we sold twenty-two more carriages today, and in the past month, we have sold more carriages than in previous years."

Chengnan Carriage Shop is the largest carriage shop in Chang'an City, with its own independent carriage workshop in Chang'an City, and at least fifty percent of the carriages running on the official road are from Chengnan Carriage Dealership.

Although the main components of the carriage were made of wood, it stands to reason that some carpenters could also make them.

However, the most difficult thing to make a carriage is the wheels and axles, which are by no means capable of being done by ordinary carpenters.

Even if it is barely made, it cannot be durable.

And the Chengnan carriage company, in the production of wheels and axles, only has its own set of skills.

Coupled with the backing of Wei, one of the four surnames in Guanzhong, the business of the carriage shop in the south of the city is naturally very good.

"Have you made it clear to the workshop, this month, at least five hundred carriages are needed in the shop."

Wei Siren looked at the shopkeeper of the car dealer beside him, and once again emphasized the need to ensure the supply of carriages.

Don't look at the most of the carriages that have been sold recently, but a carriage can at least earn a few dollars, and it is definitely a very considerable number in a month.

Therefore, as a descendant of the Wei family, Wei Siren was arranged to be in charge of the car dealership.

As the third child in the family, it is impossible for Wei Siren to inherit the title, and the Wei family also needs a trustworthy son to control the family's business, so Wei Siren volunteered to stand up.

first let the carriage and horse company gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City, and then followed by the establishment of a whaling team in Dengzhou Mansion.

Originally, he also sent people to secretly go to the salt drying field of the East China Sea fishery to steal the secret of refined salt production, but unfortunately failed.

Even so, the Wei family has accumulated a lot of strength in business.

Over the years, the Wei family has been able to prosper, and Wei Siren has also made contributions.

After all, no matter what you do, you can't do without money.

"Lang Jun, don't worry. Since the beginning of spring this year, the situation of the carriage shop has been better than in previous years, so the carriage workshop has also been expanding. In the last two months, the size of the carriage workshop has tripled compared to last year. ”

Wei Bao, the shopkeeper of the carriage workshop, is also an old servant of the Wei family, and he is very trusted by Wei Siren.

Basically, when Wei Siren didn't care about anything, the Chengnan Carriage Shop and the Wei Family Carriage Workshop were Wei Bao's final say.

Even Guo Yang and Deng Feng, the largest timber merchants in Chang'an City, had to act according to his face.

"Not enough, the demand for carriages is so strong now, we must make more carriages."

finally came across an opportunity to make a lot of money, and Wei Siren naturally didn't want to give up the opportunity.
