In February of the 34th year of Qin Shi Huang, when the spring breeze blew and the ice melted, southern Liaoning took the lead in welcoming the first batch of merchants of "Haidong Trading Company......

Thirteen Dajia lives are expensive, naturally will not go to sea to adventure in person, they sent their own concubines, nephews to do the work, this group of young people to catch the intermittent south wind, take their own boat, the first to arrive at the port of southern Liaoning "Lushun", which has been officially assigned to Jiaodong County, as an independent county.

It is said that Liaodong County once protested against this, believing that Lushun belonged to Liaodong on the grounds that it was in Liaodong, but the imperial court compared the time for Jiaodong and Liaodong to send officials to Lushun, and Jiaodong only needed 2 days at the earliest, while Liaodong took at least 20 days......

In addition, the annual tax that Jiaodong can provide to the imperial court is nine times that of Liaodong!

Even if you don't consider who the county guards are, just looking at the amount of taxes, which county speaks tougher in the court, do you still need to say?

So this dispute ended here, and the entire long coast of southern Liaoning was all assigned to Jiaodong, and Liaodong could only be wronged.

When the children of the merchants arrived in Lushun, they had already hoarded thousands of skins paid by the nearby Yi tribes: just like the well salt, dansha, and chicken feathers handed over by the Ba people, the strange objects were the taxes of the barbarian rulers under the empire, and they should not be expected to pay the grain that they did not have enough to eat.

Although Haidong Trading Company claims to "make money together", there will still be competition between them. For example, if the 1,000 mink skins in Lushun are divided equally, the interests will be thin, and disputes and discord will easily occur.

The thirteen merchants were engaged in different industries, some specialized in selling silk, and some specialized in selling sugar, but in terms of the goods on the return journey, except for the slaves who were interested in the knife room, most of them undoubtedly favored leather goods. The Heff was divided into thirteen places according to the territory, and each family competed for their favorite territory through the method of "bidding" to obtain the franchise to buy furs there!

Lushun is undoubtedly the most sought-after, because this place is recently, a round trip only takes five or six days, which can save a lot of freight, and the local barbarians take the initiative to hand over the furs to the government, what you need to do is just to transport them back, the safest.

The merchants bid very fiercely, and in the end, the merchant Pang from Linzi, through a high price, obtained the right to buy the fur of Lushun, and bought it at a slightly lower price than the market price of Linzi.

Ponzi's ship returned with more than 1,000 skins, and the rest of the ships could only continue to move forward.

……

Arriving at the dotted islands, several empty ships unloading food at Arthur left the large army, and it was clear from the large nets that the ships were everywhere that their target was not on land, but in the sea!

As we approached the island, the water turned from a deep blue to a clear blue, and a young man lay on the side of the boat, looked down and shouted:

"Fish, all fish!"

Yeyi Pan has been engaged in the fish trade for generations, but this year, can only be fished in the offshore waters, after the Qi people have been fishing continuously for hundreds of years, the fish in the coastal fishing grounds of Laizhou Bay, the size and number have been slightly reduced, I heard that the coastal waters of southern Liaoning are full of fishing grounds, anyway, the money has also been invested in the trading company, so I simply sent my children to take a look.

Sure enough, in this virgin land that no one has set foot in yet, there are really countless fish! The fish in the shallow sea are so dense that you can just put down a basket and bring it up to a basket full of fish!

After just a casual afternoon, the cabin and deck were full of sea fish......

When he returned to Yeyi a few days later, in addition to the salted fish in the boat, the son of Shang Jia described to his father what he saw: "Put a kettle on the rack, and before the water is hot, the fish in the evening have already been caught!" ”

……

Because of the shyness of the pocket, the Jibei businessman Fan, who failed to bid for a good area, set his eyes on Xi'anping, which was not under the jurisdiction of Jiaodong, and they believed that east of Liaodong, there may be some business opportunities hidden in the endless and unknown wilderness and forests......

After stopping the boat in Xi'anping, Fan's eldest son took people and took a good look at the market here.

With the arrival of thousands of Qin troops, Xi'an became a lot more lively, every market day, in addition to the residents of Liaodong, Zhenfan, Fuyu and even the cautious barbarians, will also run here to catch the market, with their own mountain goods, in exchange for the Central Plains.

The messy stalls, full of unfamiliar languages, shouting and shouting, trade is basically bartering, the two sides put out the things on their bodies, pointing at each other, shaking their heads is not okay, nodding is okay, a loud high-five is a deal, and then each with their own satisfactory items, happily leaving.

Of course, there are also those who disagree and draw their swords against each other, and this kind of troublemaker will be quickly caught by the patrolling Qin soldiers.

In addition to the bearskin, wolf, tiger and deer skins that were held up and sold everywhere, the eldest son of the Fan family also found many mushrooms, including matsutake mushrooms that he could call famous, and many that were not famous. Fortunately, he didn't die of foaming at the mouth on the spot......

In addition, there are deer antlers, musk and other precious medicinal herbs, but here they are surprisingly cheap, and he also noticed that in a stall in Buyeo, there is a rhizome plant whose roots resemble fennel roots, and the color is turmeric, but they are larger than fennel roots.

"What is this?"

Fan's eldest son asked the translator to help him ask, and the Buyeo people were carving the bone flute there boringly.

"The Buyeo people said that the two people climbed the mountain at the same time, one contained this thing, one person did not contain it, and each walked for half a day, and those who did not contain it would gasp, and the breath of the one with it would be the same."

"Really?"

Fan's eldest son will be skeptical, and the translator will say that it is true, this thing is boiled in soup and drunk, and it is full of anger and anger.

Since it was cheap, Fan's eldest son still bought a little, and after returning to the boat, some fishermen who had been to Xi'an Ping laughed at him for losing because of this thing......

"It's not just Buyeo, Zhenfan, and Su Shen, in Liaodong, in North Korea, the mountains are all long, as long as you know each other, you can dig a big basket a day!"

"More is good, if you can make small profits and quick turnover, at least you can return to your capital."

Fan's eldest son and eldest son didn't take it seriously, their family couldn't compete with the rest of the trading company, in order not to lose money, they could only look for business from the corner that others disdained to operate, as long as they didn't know something, they all bought it, and brought it back to Jiaodong to try!

He never imagined that this thing would later become another sought-after commodity in Haidong after fur: ginseng!

……

The fleet sailed against the current, and when it arrived at the mouth of the Korean port of Jinlie, which was occupied by the Qin army, there were only eight or nine of the thirteen families left.

The difference between a merchant and a government is that he only does things for profit, and since he has joined a trading company, he can only go up the mountain as brothers, and work hard to find his own interests.

Those who stayed in southern Liaoning to look for business took a fancy to the fact that it was closer to Jiaodong, while the businessmen who chose North Korea took a fancy to the market that had not yet been occupied!

After the fleet of Jiaodong docked, the Korean porter with a white linen strip on his head came to help unload the goods, and the local officials also came to contact the merchants and the merchants, and according to Heifu's suggestion, a "fair" would be held in Liekou, and the merchants would exhibit their goods, and the large and small nobles from the Korean office, the lord of Dian, and the male protagonist would send people to participate in the negotiation with the merchants and establish trade relations.

The government no longer takes care of the details, but only provides a contact platform, and who can negotiate business with whom depends on their own ability. Anyway, the border tax had been abolished in Korea and the Qin Dynasty, and the merchants only needed to return to Qidi, and when they resold the goods, they could pay a city tax to the local government.

The "fair" at Liekou was in full swing, the whole area was neat and clean, and most of the goods sold were expensive luxury goods, which was obviously not comparable to the small village market in Xi'anping.

The merchants displayed their goods, whether they were exquisite lacquerware, arranged on ornate wooden tables, or exquisitely crafted lamps, silk as light as cicada's wings, and brown sugar that was unforgettable after a bite......

Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the Central Plains' bronze, silk, lacquerware, these handicrafts have been at their peak, and Qi Di was also famous for its female skills and beautiful weapons at the earliest, although now, it has been unable to compete with Chu, Song, and Lu, and it can be put in North Korea, and it is not allowed to let this group of hillbillies who have played a single machine for 800 years be eye-opening!

At the invitation of Chen Ping, the prince of the DPRK, he also participated in this "exhibition", which was different from the things shipped by the government last year, although it was neat, but it was still a little rough. This time, the goods are all typical Qi style, which makes the Koreans even more breathtaking, and after comparison, the "palace utensils" of Wang Weicheng are ashamed of themselves and have become the household belongings of ordinary people.

After seeing them, the poor nobles of North Korea were thinking, if those exquisite lacquered pottery horns could be placed in their own homes and placed at banquets, how much more face-saving they were! Those beautifully patterned silk silk shoes, if they can be worn on their concubines and sisters, wouldn't it be enviable!

It's a pity that the merchants are not interested in the shell coins in circulation in North Korea, and they either buy them with half a tael, or barter, preferably furs!

There were also those who instructed the slaves to bargain, but in this regard, they were the opponents of this group of shrewd merchants, but they were fooled into promising to buy more.

When the time came to compete for the money of the Korean lords, these nobles had to desperately squeeze their lords, forcing them to hunt fox deer, skin them, and exchange them for extravagant and exquisite things.

Seeing this scene, Ji Zhun also suddenly thought that the eight hundred years of wealth and national strength of the Ji family in North Korea might be squeezed dry by this group of greedy businessmen who came for profit in seven or eight years......

……

Not all businessmen, in North Korea as the end point, Langya businessmen Jia Guanyan like to complain, but also have their own unique business vision, he is in the south of North Korea, the closest to Langya Sanhan!

After May, the southwest monsoon blows violently, from Langya to Sungsanjiao and then to Samhan, but it is only a few days to travel.

In addition to the distance, there was another factor worth considering, Guan Tong looked ahead, and ten miles ahead of them, there was a huge fleet of ships, with bulging sails and waving flags.

It was Gongzi Fusu's expeditionary force, these five thousand Wuben, after resting for a winter in Liekou, set sail again on the ship of the captain of Jiaodong County......

This time, the Fusu army marched south, still to find Canghai Jun to annihilate him, but first, they wanted to establish a new stronghold east of Canghai City, next to the mouth of a large river, and in the place later called "Incheon"!

To build a city, a lot of food and utensils will definitely be needed, so that the originally unprofitable land of Samhan may also be able to get some oil and water.

"Guan Zi said that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. But the more places you travel, the more difficult it is to make money, but those places that no one cares about, there may be big profits that others have not discovered! ”

"Nephew!"

Guan Tong was in a reverie, but another voice came from a distance.

When I looked around, I found that there were several ships, also following them closely!

It turned out to be the only Dajia who came to Haidong in person, a concubine businessman, and a knife room!

"Uncle Dao, you are ......"

Guan Tong looked at the big ship that was going hand in hand with his own house with some puzzlement, shouldn't he stay in North Korea? Could it be ......

The knife on the bow of the boat smiled, pointed to the slave girls huddled behind him, and said loudly: "Nephew, the sea is windy and cold, how many people do you want to send to warm the bed?" ”

Guan Tong's face froze, and he shook his head with a reluctant smile, but his heart was full of disdain!

"This way of making money is also a shame that he can come up with......"

Not only can you earn money from the barbarians, but you can also earn money from the government! That's what the knife is going to do! He pulled two boats of trained slave girls, and "rewarded" the Qin soldiers all over the country, and he only needed one of their legs to earn all the rewards and silks of this group of soldiers who had lived in a foreign land for a long time!

Guan Tong forgot that it was his ancestor Guan Zhong who invented the industry of "Nulu"!

On the other ship, the knife was contemptuous of Guan Tong, but he turned a blind eye.

"The rest of us despise it, but for us businessmen......"

The knife smiled calmly: "If there is a need, there is a request, and those who seek profit, such as mosquitoes and flies, do not care if they are dirty or not!" They bought furs at a low price, induced the Korean lords to buy extravagant things, and made their people oppressed, and finally they could only sell themselves to the Qin people as slaves, and they were not necessarily clean! ”

……

"What my door has brought to Haidong is not only civilization, but I am afraid that there will also be long-term disasters."

In Qingdao, Jiaodong County, when Heifu couldn't sleep at night, he left the house and walked slowly on the beach, thinking that at this moment, the thirteen merchants of Haidong Trading Company had arrived on the other side and began their journey to chase odor.

But instead of being compassionate and sighing, he recited a passage with a smile and a pious tone, even more pious than he did with Qin Shi Huang's edict......

"Since capital came into the world, from head to toe, every pore has dripped blood and dirt!"
