Chapter 160: The S&En Zone, Yanqingwei, and Jinjian Accidents
The Hafs dynasty was also a very bitter place. There are basically no good places other than the coast. To the west and south were other Berber dynasties that had been at odds with them for many years.
"We have cannons! Plate Armor! Machete! Yang Yuting introduced their products to Osman (Osman is a common ****** name) Hafs.
"Is there any food? Is there any salt? ”
"Yes."
"Is there any gold?"
"Yes, there is, but isn't the Maghreb region (west of North Africa****** the source of gold?" Yang Yuting was a little blind.
Osman Hafs sighed and said, "No, the real source of gold is Mali further south. No, no, don't mention that. My people are in great need of food. And salt. But these businesses are monopolized by ****** people. So I can't give you more promises. Perhaps you should consult with the merchants of the ******. ”
The Hafs dynasty were tasked with providing precious metals (mainly gold), grapes, figs, olives, dates, and other cash crops throughout the Western Mediterranean, and because of the devastation of agriculture, they were always exchanging all kinds of things for food. These grains usually come from Sicily, Central Italy, or elsewhere.
And the Han merchants wanted to insert one foot in, and two feet, the Hafs dynasty and Sicily. Conrador may not have a problem with this, as he can pick up the goods nearby. But there is no guarantee that the other ****** businessmen will not think much.
"Okay, I'll write back to the rear. But before I can do that, I want to buy a thousand slaves to build a dock on the island of Pantellella. ”
Yang Yuting finally left with a group of slaves presented by Osman Hafs. These people are mainly pagans from the North African region. Not only Christians or shamanic Berbers, but also heretics.
North Africa has been a very independent region since ancient times. After Roman rule, it converted to Christianity and rebelled against Rome, after Rome converted to Christianity, it changed to heresy and continued to resist, and after the Arabs came to eliminate Christianity, it became the stronghold of Havaliji. So tricksters are everywhere.
After leaving behind a hundred soldiers, a steward and two ships on the island of Pantellella, Yang Yuting hurriedly began to report to Wang Chang of Constantinople.
As trade in Constantinople began to revivenation, so did Wang Chang's status. Li Anshi often begged him for help. Due to trade preferences and the cherishing of goods, a large number of commercial goods are transferred and transported away in Sofia Port, and the monthly turnover of Wang Chang's Sophia Port Trading Station is more than 100,000 Haiperen.
Of course, this is only the trade volume, and the actual income is actually only more than 10,000 yuan.
Wang Chang knew that this kind of thing was subject to the needs of the domestic economy, and it was related to Qin Cang's boundless brains, so he had to write to Zhang Qi to solve the problem.
When the ships on the way home passed through the Danube Delta in Wallachia, they miraculously discovered that the banner of the Great Han was actually planted on the coast of Wallachia!
This matter has to start with Qin Fusheng.
Qin Fusheng and Vlad III were relatively familiar, and they also introduced many hard-working, hard-working, and troublesome Wallachian mountain people. After receiving the above instructions, he gave Vlad III an offer of 50,000 happeren for the purchase of the Danube outlet area.
And Vlad III is quite interesting. He said, "Lao Tzu only needs 5,000 gold coins, and I will convert the rest into cannons, plate armor, and spears." ”
So the big iron supervisor was very happy to take 30,000 Hai Peilun, and then sold the discounted goods in the warehouse to Qin Fusheng.
In short, it's a profitable business for all three parties. The only pity is that this area is named "S&N Commercial Port Special Zone". In other words, this is a parallel institution to Qin Fusheng's Jintao Mansion and is not under his jurisdiction.
Lake Lazim was named Lake S&N. On the land on the western shore of Lake S&N, an agricultural camp was set up to reclaim the S&N.
The largest city in the region is Tulcea, which at this time was named Ekisus. It was once a fortress of the Duchy of Dobroja, left behind after the Kingdom of Bulgaria was destroyed by the Mongols. Now it's a small, run-down place.
The port of Tulcea was named the port of Changmao, and in the Danube Delta, the Danube River flows into the sea along two lines, the northern and southern routes. The port of Qiandi (present-day Vilkovo, Ukraine) was established on the northern route and the port of Nanbin (present-day Santa Georgi, Romania) was established on the southern route
In general, the area is basically planned. At present, it is Yang Yufeng, the second son of Yang Xiugao, who has come to take charge of the local task.

When the fleet finished an olive oil trade ordered by Wang Chang in Anxi County, the fleet with wool encountered wind and waves when crossing the ocean eastward, and the fleet was seriously damaged, they actually found a small city on the coast!
After understanding, they found out that this small city was ordered by Hanmo (Crimean steppe) a few months earlier. Yanqingwei (present-day Yevpatoria, Crimea) was established on the shores of Lake Saki on the western coast. The main purpose was to unite the Tatar feudal lords of the entire steppe, so that they could improve their farming methods and increase grain production.
Of course, this small port also does trading business. Mainly some small things on the trade line from Kawazu Port to Chikyo. Still, they have benefited greatly. It is said that at the end of this winter, a new group of immigrants will arrive and will be upgraded to a prefecture.
Then along the port of Xisai, Sezhou, Luzhou, Suzhou and other places to reach Chijing. The bustle of business along the way was astonishing.
After receiving the letter, Zhang Qi told them: "You should stay in Chijing for two days first." And then we'll talk about it. ”
"Huh? But....... Manager Wang ...... there, "The person in charge is a little embarrassed.
Zhang Qi shook his head, "Yesterday there was a fire in Jinjian, which burned down a large number of houses and killed dozens of people. It's a bit of a mess in Chikyo right now, so I'll talk about it later. ”
Yang Hongda was scolded by Qin Cang for two hours in this matter, but it was useless. The fire extinguishers of the Inspection Division ran for an afternoon to end the fire. However, even so, the damage to dozens of looms and the deaths of six skilled workers and forty-eight wool workers all made Qin Cang's heart ache.
"Let's move out." Qin Cang suddenly mentioned.
The textile industry has been the hardest hit by fires. Dry textiles are just a bit away, and candles are on fire and so on.
"I agree! The Jinjian is also moving out. The rest of the space can be transferred to the Supervisory Authority, the Audit Chamber, and the Planning Authority. Qin Changan said faintly.
As a result, the relocation of the second largest industrial part of the Jinjian has become a foregone conclusion.
