Chapter 370: Simple Transactions and True Wealth

The Goryeo envoy's voice was sincere, his expression was sincere, and the conditions he put forward were not very sincere. [with _ dream]ā

The Goryeo Kingdom wanted to buy 10,000 bolt-type guns, 500 artillery pieces, 2,000 rockets, and the corresponding gunpowder, bullets, and shells that the Rygyu Guards now used; The navy purchased 20 warships, and in order to enter the war in time, it requested direct employment of the navy.

On the one hand, the Goryeo Kingdom officially gave Tamna Island to the owner of Zhang, and on the other hand, it used the treasury income for the next ten years as collateral and paid it off in ten years.

Island Master Zhang smiled, since he seriously mentioned business matters, let's talk about it.

He said:

"I've never heard of Tamnado, I only know about Jeju Island, so I don't need anyone else to send it at all.

Second, I have a brotherly relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't sell them big bolt-type firearms, and of course I can't sell you, besides, this kind of arms can't be bought with money.

Third, I can't accept the repayment method of ten years and ten installments, ------"

The Goryeo envoy could not hold back, and he exclaimed:

"Most of my people in Korea only eat one meal, and if it weren't for the high yield of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, I don't know how many people would have starved to death!

My king never wore silk, only cloth, never ate white rice, only corn tortillas and pickles------ why? It's not that he can't afford to wear clothes or eat, but he worries about the people of Goryeo!

I saw that even the laborers on Liuqiu Island could eat three meals, and the meal was white rice, fish and meat, and the owner of the island could let the people of Liuqiu Island live such a life, so why did he ignore the suffering of my Koreans?

After this battle, presumably the Tatars will add my tribute to ------ Zhang Island Lord, and my Goryeo Kingdom really can't bear it!

All we can see in our treasury is rats!

Island Master Zhang, you are from Yindi'an City------ we were also descendants of Yin Jizi back then! ”

This one was mentioned too?!

Well, this guy was really excited------ but most of what he said was the truth.

Zhang Island Master also straightened his face and said:

"I can provide 10,000 fire cap guns, I beg the navy to never hire people, you don't have to buy warships, I beg the navy to provide you with the necessary protection!

Everything else can be achieved, not to mention your treasury, not to mention ten years of instalments!

There are coal mines, iron mines, copper mines, graphite mines in the north of yours------ you don't know what graphite is? I'll have some specimens for you later.

Then I'll help you build a special wharf on the northern coast, and you'll take care of the mining, and then I'll provide you with a thousand four-wheeled vehicles, and you'll have no shortage of horses, and you'll build roads, and then you'll get them to the wharf.

I can also provide you with a quantity of food and other necessities to tide you over.

With these initial investments, you have to send 20,000 young men and women to work on the island, and their wages will go to one-third of ------ individual, one-third to you, and the other one-third to me.

Those people were free to travel between the two places, not to be slaves! ”

The Goryeo envoy was ecstatic, but quickly suppressed and said, "Is it okay for men and women between forty and fifty years old?!" ”

"In addition to the 20,000 young men and women, men and women in their forties and fifties can also be paid in this way!"

The Goryeo envoy immediately said, "Give us more rice and meat, my children haven't eaten it for years!" ”

"Well------ you have to remember that this is not for nothing, it is in exchange for the wages of the labor you provide!"

Of course, the owner of Zhang Island is not afraid that they will break the contract, and he will see the labor first and then deliver the goods------ at this time, he is not in a hurry to ask for anything gold and silver, which is not real wealth!

The Goryeo envoy immediately said, "I will go back and report to the king!" ”

"You're not going to mourn?"

"Then just let the deputy envoy go, my king is looking forward to my reply------ everyone in the world knows that Zhang Island Master is a man of his word!"

"Of course! You don't have to compliment this! ”

The Goryeo envoy left with a smile.

Zhang Island Master called the guards in and told him that in the future, if anyone was crying at the door, they would all rush to the office, what were they doing at someone's house!

The quiet lord came down from the upper floor and asked, "How do I hear the cry?" Is there someone who has a grievance? ”

Zhang Island Master smiled and said, "I met a performance artist------ let me tell you good news, there are female workers in your new cotton spinning base!" ”

No matter what time and space, as long as a person's identity reaches a certain level, even his funeral can become an opportunity for political exchanges.

Sure enough, after a period of time, some condolence envoys from some small countries came to Liuqiu Island, and they used the gold and silver given by the Great Song Dynasty to the Badaohe area to buy the items that their country urgently needed.

Since the island of Liuqiu and Shandong allowed citizens to own arquebuses, arquebuses became a popular industry.

The quality of the arquebus produced by many manufacturers is getting better and better, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, as a result, they have begun to work on the artistic decoration of the arquebus, inlaid with gold and silver, and the ------carving of this and that carving is just very good-looking, Zhang Daozhu can't help but buy it when he sees it, and go back to hang it on the wall to enjoy.

Of course, they also export overseas------ Commissioner Guo Ziren once asked Zhang the owner if this kind of arms trade was allowed.

Zhang Daozhu thought for a while and said: "The processing of arquebuses and ordinary black/gunpowder is simple, we can't stop other people's imitations, so it is better to let them sell them everywhere, so that other people's imitations will not be profitable at all, at least our manufacturers will pay us taxes!" ”

Of course, Director Guo Ziren immediately understood the truth here, encouraged his own industrial development, and let those who follow the trend eat the trend.

Zhang Daoist has long understood that this kind of fire breaker will be rotten on the street sooner or later, and the days when he began to get super high prices from the Mamluk Empire are no more, unless he starts selling large bolt-type firecrackers.

But now is not the time, his next-generation individual weapon is still in trial production, and there is no way to reach mass production.

In fact, Zhang Island Master and they have become more and more accustomed to the slow pace of this era, and they even walk slowly.

They watched the Great Song Dynasty busy with the national funeral day by day, and watched their whole country be in a state of vegetarianism------ it is said that such days will not stop until 9981 days, so they can only wait patiently.

There are also people on Liuqiu Island who hang out the vegetarian at the door of their homes for the Great Song Dynasty funeral, and the owner of Zhang Island didn't think so when he saw it, and it was impossible for them to cut off from the Great Song Dynasty at once, even if the whole family moved here.

The island of Rakqiu recognises multiple nationalities, allows free access, and of course allows people to do what they want, as long as it does not violate the laws and regulations of the island.

Zhang Island Lord and they were happy to see that their adult houseboys did not take the national funeral of the Great Song Dynasty seriously at all, what should they do, they are the ones who really identify with Liuqiu Island.

However, what no one expected was that the national funeral of the Great Song Dynasty also brought an incident to Liuqiu Island.
