Chapter 530: Saltpeter (Page 1/1)

Meng Fanrui immediately put his hand into his arms, and before he could take it out, he was interrupted by Ma Jingbo.

"Lao Meng, if you take out the yellow and white things, I will Ma Jingbo turn around and leave, the rules of the Changxing Army are not allowed to accept benefits, don't harm me!" Ma Jingbo said with an angry face.

"Huh! It's me Meng Lang, I'll punish myself three cups first. Meng Fanrui reacted immediately and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

The anger on Ma Jingbo's face eased slightly, and he said: "The shipyard is built with warships, and there is no effort to build a new ship for you." I'll take you to the shipyard later, it's the busiest place! ”

When he arrived at the shipyard, Meng Fanrui knew that what Ma Jingbo said was true, and the captain Zhao Steward also said that there was no precedent for Changxingjun to sell warships. If you want to buy it, go to the Yamen to find the Governor, and only if he approves the captain will build it.

Meng Fanrui went to Chicken Coop Harbor with regret, where he used the bill to buy the goods of the Changxing Army. Before leaving, he repeatedly said that as long as Changxingjun sold the Flying Fish clipper, he must leave one for him.

The northern part of Taiyuan Island has developed rapidly in the northern part of Taiyuan Island and firmly occupies the north.

Nowadays, there are three forces on Taiyuan Island, namely the Changxing Army in the north of Taiyuan Island. The big belly kingdom in the middle of Taiyuan Island and the Netherlands in the south have no plans to expand further, and they can be safe for the time being.

However, the Dutch people have the intention of uniting with the Potbelly Kingdom to attack the Changxing army, and the Changxing army is too much of a threat to them. As soon as they arrived on Taiyuan Island, they exterminated the Ganlas and burned Manila to the ground.

The Dutch people were at their happiest moment, and without Manila their city of Resharan was the center of trade between the West and the Ming Dynasty.

In the beginning, it was also true, and the Ming merchants and maritime merchants from various countries who hoarded a large amount of raw silk porcelain tea could only transport their goods to Relansha, where they traded.

The Dutch took the opportunity to lower the price and wanted to make a big profit, but the good times were short-lived. The merchants all got the news that the Changxing Army in Jilong Harbor needed a large amount of goods, and they still had goods in short supply.

At this moment, all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty came to the Jilong Harbor in the north of Taiyuan Island, and even merchants from various countries gathered here.

The merchants of the Chicken Coop Harbor saw what it means to be prosperous, and the trees around the original harbor have been cut down and replaced by rows of wooden houses.

The plaque of the largest house next to the dock reads the four big characters of the trading hall, and every merchant who comes to the chicken coop port must come to the trading hall first.

The hall is a two-story building, and the number of merchants on the second floor is relatively small, and only merchants who have contributed to the Changxing Army can go up. In the middle of the hall is a large wooden plank, snow-white with white paint.

There were many merchants in the lower classes, and despite the hot weather, no one wanted to leave. The merchant sat around the small tables, staring nervously at the planks. From time to time, there are people talking to each other, some with joy on their faces, others with sad faces.

......

Shang Ping came to Chicken Coop Harbor for the first time, and he brought a whole shipload of saltpeter. This is what he took the risk of shipping out of Longgui County, intending to sell it for a good price.

When he came to Chicken Coop Harbor, he was told the location of the trading floor, and he was dumbfounded as soon as he arrived at the trading floor. There were four or five hundred people in the room, and not only were the seats full, but even the passages were full.

The first time he saw such a scene, he was a little dumbfounded, and Shang Ping, who had already pressed all his net worth on saltpeter, couldn't help but pop up on his forehead.

In his early thirties, he was short but very strong, and he was even more overwhelmed when he looked at the sign on the board.

Only now did he realize that he didn't know a few words at all, and that some of the words on the white walls he could still recognize, and that he was a little blind when they were all connected, and that the only person on the ship who was coarse and inky could not move because of seasickness.

This made Shang Ping anxious, he looked anxiously left and right, but no one paid attention to him.

Just as he was about to ask someone, he was gently tapped on the shoulder. Shang Ping instinctively tensed, turned around abruptly, and raised his fist.

"Brother, don't worry! It's your first time in Joncoop Harbour! Meng Fanrui looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

He is qualified to go up to the private room on the second floor to drink tea and look at the price cards leisurely, but Meng Fanrui doesn't like that feeling, and always likes the lively atmosphere in the hall.

So he likes to go downstairs when he's fine, greet friends and brag or something. As soon as I went downstairs today, I saw Shang Ping, who was sweating profusely, and when I saw that this person was dressed and was obviously not a businessman, I couldn't help but be curious and come up to talk.

Shang Ping saw that the person behind him was gorgeously dressed, and his head lowered a little unconsciously. Whispered, "First time!" When he said a word, his face flushed.

His performance made Meng Fanrui even more curious, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother is not like a businessman, how could he come to this trading hall?" ”

Shang Ping didn't look like Meng Fanrui was a bad person, so he hesitated and said, "There is no way to come to Keelung to try your luck and sell something." The first time I came to Jilong Port, I didn't know the rules here, which made the officials laugh! ”

"Where am I an official! It's just a businessman covered in copper stench, and he can't afford to be called a brother! Meng Fanrui's words greatly increased Shang Ping's favor, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Come on! Come! Come! My brother and I fell in love, let's find a place to talk slowly! After Meng Fanrui finished speaking, he pulled Shang Ping to his private room on the second floor.

Shang Ping was a little restrained when he entered the private room, and only after sitting down did he say carefully: "I don't know the name of this big brother!" ”

"My surname is Meng. Meng Fanrui is also! Meng Fanrui said with a smile. Reaching out and pouring Shang Ping a pot of tea, he made a gesture of please.

Shang Ping picked up the teacup and drank it dry, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I am not satisfied with Brother Meng, the junior brother brought a boatload of saltpeter this time. I don't know what the rules of the trading floor are, can Brother Meng tell my brother about it! ”

"Saltpeter? Do you still have this good stuff for here? Go directly to the port to find Changxing Army? Meng Fanrui was surprised.

Before the Changxing Army, the main source of saltpeter was to trade with the Ganlasi people, since the northern part of Taiyuan Island was laid down and Manila was burned, the Ganlasi people no longer sold a pound of saltpeter to the Changxing army.

The Changxing Army, whether it is a gun or a cannon, is inseparable from gunpowder, and saltpeter has become the most preferred cargo of the Changxing Army.

Whoever can get saltpeter can get the best treatment in Jilong Port, and Meng Fanrui is also one of the people who can get saltpeter.

His saltpeter is produced in Sichuan, and he needs to take the Yangtze River waterway. Along the way, it is quite expensive to transport it to Jilong Port. Even so, Meng Fanrui is also very happy, and he has a room on the second floor.

When he heard that Shang Ping was bringing saltpeter, he cried out in surprise. Then he said: "Brother! Don't you know, you can get saltpeter and you will make a fortune, and the silver that you can transport a few more times will not be spent in a few lifetimes! ”

Shang Ping's eyes lit up, and then dimmed. "I can't transport it, this trip will cost me half a life. I don't know if I can go back! ”
