Chapter 1022 Unexpected News (Part I)

How much was a 300-ton sea vessel worth in the Song Dynasty? It's only 1,000 kans, and 500 tons can be bought at most 3,000 kans. Zhao Xing's huge amount of money to buy a fleet and build a large manor is enough. Jiao Touch's complaint was only because he only got less than 50,000 yuan in commissions, which he had to build a manor and buy land near Hangzhou, and the rest of the money was distributed to his son Jiaozuo, who had just split up, so he felt a little less.

Thinking that if Zhao Xing disposed of these goods, he would have ten times his current property, and he couldn't help but feel hot, so he kept instigating Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing glanced at the busy workers at the foot of the hillside, and said thoughtfully: "Then pick up another batch of waiting goods and release them, only let the pearls out, and keep those good goods, and sell them when I go to Bianliang City." ”

Burnt Touch's face flushed with disappointment. In fact, he originally meant that if Zhao Xing was in a hurry to sell that batch of goods, he should give him an equivalent remuneration, so that he could sell it slowly, and even if he had money, he would also follow Zhao Xing's example, collect some of the goods, and wait for the opportunity to sell them at a high price. But Zhao Xing's answer completely shattered his expectations.

Zhao Xing's refusal was based on the modern financial philosophy that the middleman's commission should only be paid in money, not goods - this is the rule, the most basic principle of the modern accounting system. Therefore, although he knew Jiao Touch's careful eye, he still protected him.

The East Pearl, South Pearl and West Pearl are the three most famous pearl systems in the world, and the rì pearl is called "East Pearl" in China. But in reality, the "East Pearl" in the commercial sense does not refer to the rì pearl, it refers to the natural pearls produced by the Persian Gulf "Wing Shell" - which happens to be called "West Pearl" in China.

Although the rì pearl is not one of the three famous pearls in the world, it is also a second-class pearl in the pearl system. In the sense of the product, "rì本珠" refers to a pearl conceived by a rì本蚝 called Akoya, so it is actually a type of oyster pearl. Among the rì pearls, the highest quality is called "pipa beads", which refers specifically to the pearls produced in Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in rì.

The pearls are not large, but due to the clear water quality of Lake Biwa, the biggest feature of the pearls is that the pearls are uniform, almost translucent, round in size, and pale green.

The highest grade of pipa beads is called "walking plate beads", which means that the pearls are gorgeous and round, and they will spin vigorously in the jade plate, which is breathtaking.

The rarest of the go-pan beads are the "blue beads", which are dark gray and blue beads that are cultivated in the body of the rì oyster or silver-lipped oyster. They are not necessarily round, they are even rarer, and their value cannot be measured in money.

Zhao Xing got in touch with the royal family and the most powerful samurai group in this country this time, and the pearls he obtained were all of the best quality, among which there were more than 40 beads alone, and he obtained three more of Lan Sè's beads. In addition, although the rest of the pearls are in excellent quality, with the former as a comparison, the rest of Zhao Xing's things are no longer eye-catching.

After discussing the details of the sale of goods, Zhao Xing turned to Liu San, the penner: "I placed an order in Mingzhou to customize ten 10,000-material ships (displacement of 600 tons, similar in volume to the Shenzhou built by Song Shenzong), this is a new type of fast ship, there will be two deliveries at the end of this year, you recruit more manpower, and adapt to the new ship as soon as possible." Wait until next year, we will use this kind of boat to go down to Nanyang.

In addition, I bought two pointed boats, carrying 5,000 materials, you hurry up and get all the sailors, there are still two months left, how about we go to Goryeo? ”

Liu San is only admired now, Zhao Xing is a famous man, and it was beyond his expectation to talk to him so amiably. And what he particularly admired was Zhao Xing's courage.

Judging from Zhao Xing's behavior when he went to sea for the first time, he vaguely guessed that this lifter was likely to go to sea for the first time, although he always seemed so calm and calm when he encountered things, but this was also a calm and unfamiliar nature. In the view of Liu San, who is not highly educated, this is nothing, people don't often say that "Xiucai doesn't go out, and he knows the world", however, in the face of the vast sea, in the face of the unfathomable waves in the sea, where the legendary Kraken and the abyss are, this Xiucai dares to take only one student and go into the sea lightly, this kind of courage is rare in ancient and modern times.

Since ancient times, taking the sea route has been a helpless choice for people in a desperate situation. After all, the Chinese nation is a land people, so the sea has become the place where the gods and monsters imagined by the literati. Since ancient times, not to mention the masters, there are only a handful of talented people who have broken into the sea, so Liu San has only admiration for Zhao Xing.

However, he still had to question Zhao Xing's voice: "Daguan, listen to your intention to organize a fleet?" The fleet is not so simple, the sea is vast, and it is not possible to catch up with the opposite ship for a day. How to communicate with each other and how to communicate with each other are all difficult problems.

Xiao Lao'er has only learned to cāo longitudinal single boats, and the affairs of the fleet are not clear, but Xiao Lao'er heard that a fleet needs to be big and small, fast and slow—it's not okay to have all the same boats. ”

"That's what I thought about...... I placed an order for ten ships, but I only asked them to make two in the early stage, and the rest, mainly to prepare materials, wait until I come back from Nanyang, and then do it......

So, your task now is to get acquainted with the ships – these early ships were experimental, and when the technology matures, these ships will be phased out, and now the key is to be familiar with the cāo. I heard that the sea surface in Tianzhu is very windy and the waves are strong, and when the ship travels there, it is easy to be scattered by the wind and waves, because it is a mortise and tenon structure......"

When Zhao Xing said this, he suddenly realized that he had talked too much, and he quickly stopped abruptly.

There are too many new words in what he said, and with Liu San's cultural level, he couldn't hear these words at all, he nodded without knowing how to pretend to understand, and added self-righteously: "There is also the compass that the big officials said - this thing is good, this is going to Goryeo, if we take the Tamna route in the first half, we can still use it." ”

"When the people of my Cheng clan arrive, we will go to Mingzhou immediately", Zhao Xing changed the topic: "It was the peak sales season a year ago, let's go back quickly, and a month later, just in time for the third son of the master, Su Dun's hundred gifts." ”

*******************************

When Su Shi came in, Xu Zhizhou was busy feasting, and he was very excited when he saw Su Dongpo, so he couldn't help but say that he pulled Su Shi into the table. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he couldn't suppress his ecstasy and told Su Shi: Due to his excellent political performance, he will be promoted after the expiration of his term.

Xu Zhizhou forgot Su Shi's identity, this news that made him excited was indeed a disaster for Su Dongpo.

With such a state official who is willing to take care of him gone, can he continue to live freely under the management of the new state officer?
