Chapter 890 Shipping
Shi Wei's reaction to Su You couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Dao Long is so virtuous and so compassionate, why do you always have sex with him?" ”
After speaking, he said: "Just like Dasu and Buddha Yin, thousands of miles apart still have to write letters." Interesting, isn't it? ”
Su You smiled: "Mutual affection is a way for men to express friendship, you don't understand this Wei'er." ”
Shi Wei leaned on Su You: "Brother Xiaoyou, I like this gift very much." ”
Su You pretended to be stupid: "What gift?" ”
Shi Wei pinched him.
Su You put his arm around Shi Wei's shoulder: "Wei'er is in my heart, forever eighteen years old, you are the best gift God has given me." ”
Shi Wei smiled sweetly: "If you have the opportunity, you must bring the flat jar and colander, so that they can also see the beautiful world under the sea." ”
Su You smiled: "If you come again, you will be demoted...... Ouch, the boss's name is not taken well, flat jars, degraded officials, homophonic! ”
Shi Wei was a little sad: "What is the head of this official, the child can't be around." ”
Su You hurriedly hugged her and comforted: "Although Your Majesty is tolerant of me, but you still have to have the consciousness you should have, Jiaozhi has been a place where the ministers have made chaos and divided China since ancient times, and leaving Zixi in Beijing is not for himself, but for the formation of a system for the future." ”
"Don't worry, the political situation in Cochin will be rotated soon, and we will be able to go back about next year. His Majesty handed over the flat jar and colander to the princess of Shu to take care of, which is already a special grace. ”
"If there are no two children in the capital, this water war alone will be difficult to get rid of. Even if His Majesty doesn't pursue it, the courtiers and the imperial history won't be able to pass the level, this is called the system, understand? ”
Shi Wei sighed: "Then when will you be happy?" ”
Su You said with a smile: "Unless you are a scholar, like Jiefu Gong, you can be a little happy." Otherwise, in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone is not allowed to be unscrupulous, and everyone has restraint and supervision. This is actually a good thing, not a bad thing. ”
Seeing that Shi Wei was a little depressed, Su You hurriedly changed the topic: "Let's go back, there is still a red grouper waiting to be cooked, after eating, I will take you to Jiaozhou to see the exquisite handicrafts." ”
The operation of the boiler is still more complicated, turn off the fire, collect the pipes, it's a big mess, Su You said: "This machine is okay, when there is time for the Institute of Technology to design a propeller sleeve, the ship can move by itself." ”
Shi Wei smiled: "How far can this run?" It takes several hours to boil water alone, and people are dying. ”
Su You laughed: "Take your time, maybe one day, we can take a steam-driven sea ship to Southern Song Dynasty, do you believe it or not?" ”
Shi Wei wanted to say whether she believed it or not, but thinking about her husband's ability, she didn't dare to say it, and she couldn't imagine that he could transport the raw seafood to Bianjing City, but it was not done?
In May, the winds in the South China Sea gradually reversed, and the rainy season entered the middle of the season.
Zhang San's large fleet and Zhao Zongyou's expedition fleet both returned, and they all gathered in Yezhou for repairs.
For the well-paid crew and expedition members, Halong Bay was a paradise, and Zhang San and Zhao Zongyou gave them a month's vacation to indulge in a carnival in Yunzhou City.
Today's Yunzhou City, which can be called the Golden Grotto, is centered on the City Ship Division, surrounded by the huge commercial area composed of Sitong Merchants, Huangsong Bank, Jiaozhi Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Guangnan Hall, Fujian Hall, and Liangzhejiang Hall.
On the periphery of the business district, there are countless mansions of maritime merchants, one is more luxurious than the other, there is Fang Zhiwei in the middle, and luxury consumption places such as scattered flower buildings are singing and blowing, making people dizzy.
Several large brothels were also opened here, and the girls in them brought together beautiful women from all over the world, and the big cannibals even brought orchids from far away in Hercynian country, blonde and blue-eyed, with soft bodies, just like the long-haired cats on their side.
There is also a beard girl who wears a black veil and a golden nose ring, covering her whole body, revealing her navel and half of her ass to dance, according to Li Shunju, those girls' buttocks are shaking, which is more powerful than Su You's Rausch steam engine.
Su You can't even say that Li Shunju is old and doesn't cultivate, you are an internal official, no matter how much those girls' butts tremble, can you still bear it?
What Su You admires now is the same nose ring, the same huge, the same meek expression, long eyelashes, big eyes sparkling, watery, and looking at him with the same curiosity.
Su You stretched out his hand and touched the soft ear: "It's really good......"
It's a pity that it's not a girl, it's a cow.
Shi Wei rode over on a handsome white horse with pointed ears facing inward, and said with a smile: "The third brother gave me, this horse is not worse than Yebai." ”
This horse is indeed a great horse, the key is that he is still very docile, and he is indeed much easier to serve than a big eating horse.
Zhang San said with a smile: "I don't have anything for my aunt and grandmother, this time I brought two swords of Xitian Beacon Iron, and this horse." ”
"This ox was worshiped by a small king of Sumura, and the area west of Bagan is now also full of kings, and the princely leaders of the coastal countries all want to come to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute, and I have received a total of sixteen national letters here."
Su You said: "They all want to take advantage of my Great Song Dynasty, if not, I have to go to the court, everyone is okay with fair trade, don't always use us as a bag, and cheat money under the banner of tribute." ”
Zhang San nodded: "I also think that the tribute is what it should be, and there can be exchanges of courtesy, but if the amount is large, it will be boring, then it should be called business, or the original business of bartering!" ”
Su You said with a smile: "Third brother, you are a business trip this time, and you have connected with the real local princes, right?" In the past, there were many businessmen who pretended to be tribute envoys, but I was caught several times when I was in Hangzhou. ”
Zhang San said: "Many of those princes are wealthy businessmen themselves, this is really not easy to distinguish, and many places are like today's Champa, who do you say is the orthodox king?" ”
Su You nodded, it seems that when the Great Song Dynasty wants to expand externally in the future, it will have an excellent diplomatic weapon.
But now I don't need to say it for the time being, and I touched the horns of the big buffalo that looked like sheep's horns: "I heard that this cow produces more milk than the cow of the wolf?" ”
Zhang San nodded: "I came back a month late this time, mainly because this cow was robbed by Shen Cunzhong in Meizhou, so I went back and pulled a batch." ”
Su You said with a smile: "Now the best cow in the Great Song Dynasty is the Erlin buffalo, the body is strong and heavy, the cultivation ability is strong, it can be used for four hours a day, it can be used for half a year a year, a single ox ploughs the paddy field and rake the wheat land, it can be cultivated two to three acres a day, and the first-class strong cattle can reach four to five acres. ”
After speaking, he touched the cow's neck: "There is no white terry under the neck of this cow, I can see enough." ”
Zhang San said: "This cow is mainly more milk and meat, and its labor strength may be weaker than that of Erlin cattle, and it is strong in disease resistance and born quickly, and Shen Cunzhong is interested in this." ”
Su You asked, "How did he know?" ”
Zhang San said: "He said that it was said by the local old farmer that when Zhenla was fighting with the Zhulin Kingdom, he had captured a few 'sheep's horn oxen', which were used to produce milk for the princes and nobles of Zhulin, but then I don't know where it went." ”
Su You nodded: "I brought so many cows and horses back this time, it's hard third brother." ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "This time we are playing the work of the Taiping coachman, the hand-to-hand business we did all the way, and all the gold, silver and precious jade were left when we came back, and when we came back, most of the ships were empty, and it was not a matter of transporting this." ”
This time, the mode of transportation is very different from the first time, and in addition to domestic products, the handicrafts of Cochin are also very popular.
The favorite of the big cannibals is the gemstone ring, "their fingers are all wearing precious stones, with gold and tin for it, called the finger ring, and the movement is worth 100 gold...... The best grade is said to be a cat's eye, and the light is scorching, just like the living. ”
Nowadays, with the craftsmanship of the Great Song Dynasty and the polishing and cutting process of star gems and plane gemstones, the rings, scepters, and treasure knives of the Jiaozhi workshop are popular in the West.
Therefore, Zhang San's trade route is to sell the goods all the way from pulling the goods, bringing special products such as sesame oil, rose dew, elephant ivory and so on, passing by the best gemstone producing areas, and selling some goods such as dyes, fragrant dew, flour and so on, and then buying high-quality rough stones to Jiaozhou for processing.
After unloading the raw materials of handicrafts in Jiaozhou, they had to be replaced with gold, silver, copper and tin urgently needed by the Great Song Dynasty.
In this way, not only did he earn a lot of money, but he also helped boost the economy along the way, such as Penang, Macheng, and Longya Port, where tin ingots and kerosene alone could be exchanged for enough supplies.
In the financial analysis report of the company, the shipping industry has been listed as one of the industries that can be focused on development, and delivery alone is a profitable business.
