Chapter 276: Closing the Camp Gate

Shopkeeper Su took the silver bill and looked at it, and saw that the top one was 10,000 taels, and at a glance, he knew that the silver bill was fine, so he put it aside and continued to look at the next one.

After a while, Shopkeeper Su finished reading all the silver banknotes, put them away and handed them back: "These silver banknotes are all real, they are indeed the silver banknotes of Hongyun Qianzhuang, there is no doubt about it." ”

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Su. I take the liberty to ask a question, if I take these silver notes to exchange for silver, I wonder if Shopkeeper Su can exchange them? Need to know where the money came from? Tang Xun took the silver money and put it away.

Shopkeeper Su said: "My lord is engaged in fleet trade, and the sources of large amounts of silver bills are naturally the old customers of Hongyun Qianzhuang, and the old man will not check, and any shopkeeper will not check." However, the old man's Quanzhou branch is not large, and it can be exchanged within 500,000 taels, and if it exceeds this amount, you have to go to Fuzhou, if the amount is larger, it is best to go to Lin'an. However, the silver is not convenient to carry, long-distance trade is not recommended to bring cash, Hongyun money all over the country, as long as there is silver banknotes, no matter where you go will not delay doing business, how long the silver banknotes in your hand are kept, you can exchange them at any time. ”

Tang Xun understood, what Shopkeeper Su meant was that it was best not to exchange the silver banknotes in his hand, anyway, he had to use money to do business, and he could use silver banknotes to circulate. In this way, in fact, no matter who you are, as long as you hold a large amount of silver money, you can actually exchange it for cash, as long as you have enough silver money or are famous enough.

"Okay, thanks for the confusion. It's not early, so Shopkeeper Su has a light meal here. ”

"No, the fleet has such a large business, the old man must have a lot of things to do, if there is nothing else, he will leave." Shopkeeper Su got up.

Tang Xun got up to send off: "Since Shopkeeper Su is busy, then I will visit another day." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious."

Tang Xun kept sending Shopkeeper Su out of the port camp before turning around.

Now that her doubts about the money were solved, she had nothing to worry about.

The silver in the crate was recounted and split in two, one for the fleet and the other for her seven ships.

Looking at her own silver money, Tang Xun was very excited, now she is worth millions, even if she is not an official, she can live a good life, and when the return is completely over, maybe it is time to consider resigning. But at present, it seems that the resignation can only be just a matter of thinking, I don't know how much effort it took to win her a chance to enter martial arts, how could the family allow her to resign? As soon as I thought of this, the excitement suddenly subsided.

"How much is that?" Tang Liuniang walked into the room with food and tea, and it was good to see Tang Xun lock the iron box.

"Ask so much what to do, no matter how much money you have, it is also from the imperial court. Are you sleeping here with me tonight? Tang Xun put away the key and took the tea to drink.

"No, it's so hot, it's not convenient to take a bath here, I'm going back to my sister to live, and I'll help you tomorrow."

"Okay, the sun is about to set, you go back quickly, pay attention to safety on the road."

"That's what you want me to go? Then I'm leaving! Tang Liuniang shook her head angrily and walked out of the barracks.

Tang Xun shook his head, he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was still like a child who didn't grow up, he was so happy.

Sunset, moonrise.

The moon is hidden, and the sky is bright.

From the next day, the number of transactions decreased a lot, although the number of odds was much more than the previous day, but the number of transactions was more than half, and the income was less than 10 million taels.

In the following days, the entire port began to deliver a large number of goods, and the volume of transactions began to decrease one after another.

When the daily income dropped to less than three million taels, the fleet announced that it would stop trading and deliver the goods with all its might.

Thirteen days later, the goods were fully delivered.

After the fleet stopped trading, many merchants rushed to the distance to hear the news, and the city shipping department put pressure on it, and repeatedly asked to keep a part of the goods for the franchise.

When he first supervised the return of Yi, Quanzhou City Boshi gave a lot of help, and Tang Xun also kept it in mind, and now the fleet trade is still in charge of her, leaving some goods, and it is not impossible to have the City Boshi to sell them on her behalf.

So before the fleet left, four ships full of goods left the outer harbor and were taken back to the inner harbor of Quanzhou by the Yamen of the Municipal Shipping Division, along with copies of the accounts of the four ships. The city shipping department agreed with the fleet that the income from the sale of goods should be calculated according to the basic selling price and then handed over to the fleet, and the excess income could be disposed of by itself.

Quanzhou City Bo Si He had obtained so many exotic goods, and in addition to being excited, he regarded the four ships of goods as treasures, and if the fleet did not leave, they would not sell.

On a clear day, the fleet left port and set sail north.

After the flotilla left, the port was suddenly empty, leaving only a few dozen empty sea ships on the vast coast.

The two men who saw the flotilla off saw the flotilla disappear before turning away from the shore.

"Since you're here to see you off, why don't you go and see your brother?"

"She's too busy to have time for me. When she was done with this while, I went to Lin'an to find her. ”

"Lin'an is so big, it's hard to find."

"Sister has been to Lin'an?"

"Lived there for a while."

"By the way, sister, aren't you also looking for someone? Why didn't I go to the camp in the morning and ask. You told me earlier, I asked my brother to help you inquire, and I will be able to inquire about it. ”

"Forget it, your brother is too busy to see you, so how can he have time to find someone. Now that the fleet is back, he must be back too, and when he's done, he'll come back to me. ”

"Sister, the person you are talking about is not as simple as your senior brother, is it your sweetheart?"

"Don't ask, you better use more snacks in your own business."

"What's wrong with you, you all talk about me, I won't get married and provoke you. I finally ran out to relax, and I didn't let me worry. ”

"Okay, my sister will compensate you, just be happy. Hurry back and go back and make you something to eat. ”

"That's pretty much it."

As the two walked away, the harbor was empty with dozens of unattended ships.

The weather is clear and smooth.

Tang Xun took the remaining nearly seventy ships and arrived in Mingzhou four days later.

Due to the shallow water of Hangzhou Bay and Qiantang River, the waterline of the pointed sea vessels is deep, it is difficult to dock after arriving in Lin'an, and the cargo cannot be loaded and unloaded, so the fleet has to dock at Mingzhou Port.

Mingzhou Port belongs to the northern port, located in the rich Jiangnan, and on the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, from this port to the east to the Wa and Goryeo is the closest, the geographical location is more superior, most of the goods from Goryeo and the Wa are traded here, from the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River Lin'an area of the material is also delivered here for loading and unloading, the port merchant ships continue to come and go, very prosperous.

As soon as the Huiyi fleet arrived, the other merchant ships, with the intervention of the Mingzhou government, gave up all the best port lots for them to dock.

The five ships that arrived first had long been empty, and the supplies they carried had been replaced by flat-bottomed river boats to be transported to Lin'an, and the empty ships had been towed aside because of the arrival of the fleet.

It took nearly 70 ships more than half a day to finally anchor and sail in the harbor, and then each ship left five people, and the rest of the personnel all disembarked and entered the port, surrounding the port area where the sea ships docked, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, and no one in the fleet could go out.

Tang Xun had to wait for news from the imperial court in Mingzhou, and he also had to wait here for the merchants around Lin'an. The several ships of goods transported back to Lin'an in advance must have caused a sensation among the dignitaries, and perhaps the businessmen who have a close relationship with them are already on the way to Mingzhou, once the business is opened, the daily trading volume must be an unimaginable number.

Mingzhou is very close to Lin'an, this is already the sphere of influence of high-ranking officials and officials of the imperial court, I don't know how many businessmen have their backing, once the transaction is up, the rules are useless, under the power, it is basically impossible to set the upper limit of the transaction, if there are wealthy businessmen who want to buy the whole ship, she has no ability to refuse, and there is no reason to refuse.

She didn't dare to think that when the merchant arrived, nearly seventy ships could be sold for a few days, would anyone ask for credit, would there be anyone who would not pay, in the face of power, what could she do, a petty official of the ninth grade?

Maybe we can only wait for the imperial court to send someone to preside over the transaction, otherwise it will definitely be a mess.

All this is still just an imagination, the merchants did not come to the camp, the court did not send people, the fleet was fine, immersed in a rare tranquility.

The flotilla was closed for three whole days, neither in nor out.

In these three days, Tang Xun sorted out her situation, she knew that no matter how she traded, which merchants she traded with, it would be an errand to offend people, and these nearly seventy ships of hot goods, as soon as they arrived in the sphere of influence of Lin'an Mansion, they would become hot potatoes, and if she was not careful, she would be crushed. So she was going to throw this hot thing out, and the fleet couldn't trade with anyone until Lord Huang or other officials came to take over.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Tang Xun issued another order to all the reserve troops, unless Lord Huang came to the port in person, no one was allowed to come in, not officials, let alone merchants.

As soon as the order came out, the fleet was puzzled, Lord Huang was far away in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away from Lin'an, and now he didn't know if he had returned to Lin'an.

Jiang Kai was in charge of the transactions of the Tianzhu countries before, and he was familiar with the matter of returning to Yi, and after the fleet arrived in Quanzhou, he was in charge of dozens of ships in Xiutu Port. When he came to Mingzhou, on the one hand, he had to manage the reserve army, and on the other hand, if the fleet began to trade with merchants, he also had to assist Tang Xun.

Although he did not understand the injunction issued by Tang Xun, he did not raise any objections, but only complied with it.

Outside the port, a group of merchants are arguing with the guards.

"We're here to do business, so keep people out, do you still want to make money!"

"What kind of adults are you, sesame mung beans are big officials, the hat is not big, and the shelf is not small."

"Hurry up and let us in, otherwise when Lord Mingzhou Zhizhou comes, you will feel better."

"If there is any quarrel, the official must come in person." As soon as Shang Jia's voice fell, an official wearing a scarlet official uniform appeared behind Shang Jia.

When the merchants heard this, they turned back one after another, and when they saw the person coming, they immediately respectfully gave way to them.
