Copper is an important strategic material for Liu Pei. And in the next step, Liu Pei is ready to mint money privately to alleviate his money shortage, so copper is very important. Not to mention the sulfur, which is needed in the gunpowder consumed by the household for daily training, and the production of sulfur in China is very low. Liu Pei bought a large amount of sulfur, which led to the rise in sulfur prices in Shandong! However, there are many volcanoes in the country, so the sulfur production is very high. In addition, the gold production of this is very large, resulting in a relatively low price ratio between gold and silver, about 1 to 8. The ratio of gold and silver in Daming is between 1 to 13 to 15. So as long as the gold is brought back, Liu Pei will be able to produce more silver.

So Liu Dahai set off south with full excitement to prepare for the goods. It is really difficult to prepare enough goods in the north. At this time, large-scale handicraft workshops had already appeared in the south of the Ming Dynasty. The volume of goods produced is staggering. This is unmatched by the scattered craftsmen of the North. At the same time, the raw silk and silk that I needed were only produced in the south. Therefore, to prepare goods, you can only go to the south.

However, Liu Dahai remembered Liu Pei's instructions, and after repelling the pirates, he did not pursue, and turned to the Wa Kingdom. However, Liu Dahai knows the true strength of his own navy. So he remembered the flags of those pirates and the few people who started with them, and this account will have to be settled sooner or later!

But Liu Dahai didn't know that they had fallen into the eyes of those who cared. This is a mistake by Liu Pei. He was afraid of the risks at sea. So what was handed over to Liu Dahai were two new ships. These two new ships are in numerous seaports

Liu Dahai had just gotten off the boat with a few family members and was still moving on the dock when a person walked over to them quickly. The people of Yanlu, whether they were Japanese or Han, made way for this person. Liu Dahai also noticed this person. This person knew that he was Chinese by the way he dressed. The man was dressed as a sailor and wore a hat. With dark skin, he looks like a person who is accustomed to walking the sea. Barefoot, with toes spread out, apparently accustomed to walking the deck.

Liu Dahai said slyly: "Of course it's new, the ship has just entered the port." ”

Liu Dahai couldn't hide it, so Suo nodded and admitted, and said, "That's right! It was our first time running to the sea. It was also the first time to visit Nagasaki. ”

Liu Dahai said: "We brought raw silk, silk, and deerskin!" Then there are some home-made gadgets, which are brought to the country to try to sell. ”

Liu Dahai's face sank when he heard this. Even the family members after him were furious! This is clearly to take advantage! Once you sell everything to him, it will definitely be sold at a low price similar to the wholesale price. In this way, the profit will be very low, and Liu Dahai will lose a lot. Liu Dahai's original plan was to find more merchants to sell the goods separately, so that the profits could be maximized. But right now, this person is here to stir things up.

The Li Ye mentioned by Huoyancheng is Li Dan, the leader of the sea merchants and pirates. Fu Wen Li And, also known as Li Xi, Li Xu, is a native of Hui'an, Quanzhou, southern Fujian. He was the leader of the most influential and influential maritime group at home and abroad at that time. Li He has devoted his life to overseas trade, and has achieved remarkable results.

The Spanish colonizers in Lübin carried out five massacres against overseas Chinese in the Philippines, and more than 24,000 overseas Chinese were slaughtered, many of whom were from Quanzhou. Li Dan suffered because of his wealth, and the Spaniards found an excuse to arrest him and put him in prison, confiscate his property, and send him to hard labor on the ship.

He was a man of great fortune and a few years later he amassed a huge fortune and gained popularity in the local community, and soon became the leader of the largest Chinese maritime group. Even the Dutchman in Hirado said, "Li Dan has a huge fortune, a beautiful house, a beautiful wife and a daughter in Hirado, Nagasaki."

Liu Dahai stared at Huo Yancheng, his face uncertain. Because he knows very well what kind of character Li Dan is! Moreover, Nagasaki was one of Li Dan's base camps. Once they offended Li Dan, let alone selling goods, they couldn't run out of the two boats.

Seeing that Liu Dahai had succumbed, Huoyan Cheng smiled very proudly and said, "Don't worry!" Everyone is seeking money, where will you run for nothing? Let's take a look at the manifest first. ”

Huo Yancheng took the bill of goods and began to study it, muttering as if he was calculating. After half a ring, he flicked the manifest with his finger and said, "I'll give you 28,000 taels of silver for these things in front." But what are you writing behind this? ”
