The Ganges Delta on the eastern coast of the Tianzhu region is rich in jute of the best quality in this time and space...... This has to do with the local climate and environment, and other places are not as good as the quality in any way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the jute raw materials there can be sold at a good price in Dasong or Liuqiu Island, but due to the problem of transportation volume, the cost performance is not high enough.

A businessman's business sense is sometimes innate.

Under these circumstances, some clever merchants of the Great Song Dynasty bought these items in the Lion City of Shilan, and then hired people to make them into semi-products of jute raw materials after simple processing, and then specially packed and shipped away, thus increasing the transportation volume and added value.

Later, they also used the same method to treat the raw materials of Tianzhu cotton.

But there are not many such people, and they belong to the non-mainstream of the business world.

Sino-Ocean Commerce is based on products with huge profit margins, and if you can make a smooth trip, you can live for many years...... However, products with large profit margins are generally commercial goods with relatively small volume and weight, so there will be a surplus on a normal sea ship, so some goods that are easy to sell will also be transported.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of Liuqiu Island, keenly discovered that some merchants had also begun to deal in the means of production while dealing in traditional spice products...... In a way, the shipping capacity of the current Great Song Dynasty and Liuqiu merchants has improved!

Regarding the understanding of wealth, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, may be the person with the most profound view of this time and space.

He believed that real wealth was not their own printed banknotes with images of sailboats, nor metals such as copper, silver, and gold, which were the equivalent of wealth...... True wealth is the means of production and commodities, and as long as it is kept sufficient, the source of wealth will not be exhausted.

Therefore, at least on the island of Liuqiu, he always encouraged merchants to import all kinds of means of production from outside, even the most ordinary coal.

It is also for this reason that he has been encouraging the Admiralty of the Liuqiu Guard to build more naval bases at some important geographical points.

The owner of Zhang Guoan once told his houseboys that wherever their merchants could go, the navy would go there as long as they could......

The routine he arranged was clear...... Pathfinders are sent first, then the operators follow, and finally they have to arrange for protectors to keep the whole routine running.

Therefore, all the information about the path explored by Captain Xiao Er and Wang Zheng and the real situation of many overseas businesses will be published in the "Liuqiu Times" without reservation.

Although the captain of the squad didn't know Zhang Guoan's intentions, he also knew that he was protecting his maritime merchants, as he had already said in the "Liuqiu Times", so this maritime merchant paid a lot of taxes to Liuqiu...... And at least some of the military supplies were transported with the help of maritime merchants.

At present, the Liuqiu Navy and maritime merchants have formed a gratifying situation of complementarity, mutual assistance, and common development.

He said to the second captain and Wang Zheng: "Since our Liuqiu Qian Bank opened in Lion City, the maritime merchants in the past have been more than thirty percent more than in the past!"

Oh, God knows how those maritime merchants were able to earn so much money!

…… Once a month, when money is transported here from the money bank in the Lion City, two large wagons can be filled! ”

This naval base is perhaps the best and safest place to act as a treasury.

The second captain said happily: "The people here are starting to recognize our money?!" ”

"Well, of course! They called our money tickets, and they said that if you count the number of masts on the money, you will know what it is worth......"

The second captain said that he didn't know what benefits the people of Lion City would do to Liuqiu money by using Liuqiu banknotes...... But at least it can show that they can buy and sell normally, and there is no need to always trade in the way of barter, or in the extremely heavy copper coins.

The squad leader then added, "The common people here like to use our money...... Therefore, the Liuqiu Money Bank always has to transport some from the Liuqiu Head Office, and I feel that we have suffered a loss, and what we have printed with our own secret method will be used by others at will......"

Wang Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The owner of Zhang Island himself said that if one day, everyone in the world would use our money! ”

What's the point?!

That squad leader scratched the back of his head after hearing this, and it's a good thing to let people use their own things for nothing?!

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty government did not allow maritime merchants from all countries to carry too much money overseas, and violators would be guilty of serious crimes!!

The captain of the second junior only explained to him, saying:

"People exchange materials or labor for our money, and all of them are not used for nothing, right?"

The squad leader laughed and said, "That's, that's!" In fact, it is easy for us to take it back...... As long as you sell a lot of coarse porcelain bowls, you're good to go. ”

They didn't really know much about money, so they quickly changed the subject.

In fact, don't say that they don't understand it very well, even the treacherous Jia Pingzhang doesn't understand monetary theory...... The people of the entire Great Song Dynasty may think that there is no shortage of money in the Great Song Dynasty market at present, and it is precisely because of the emergence of many circulating currencies in the market that it has been solved.

The reason is very simple, the ordinary officials in the Great Song Dynasty government feel that they have a little more money in their hands, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty money or the money they are begging for, and there are many things they can buy.

Now the external environment of the entire Great Song Dynasty has completely changed, and there is no longer the military pressure of real history.

The Great Song government no longer had to pay high military expenses to deal with the war...... Moreover, because there are more auspicious divine seeds in the agricultural production of their country, the production of grain is much more than before!

As long as grain prices are cheap and stable, the overall economic situation will naturally be relatively good, and development momentum will naturally be full.

The people up and down the Great Song Dynasty were not fools, of course they all knew that the Tatars were willing to sign a peace agreement with them, only because they were dragged down by the army of Liuqiu Island in the Shandong region!

Therefore, the Great Song government openly and secretly hoped to increase the strength of Liuqiu Island, so that they could drag the Tatars for the rest of their lives...... Mingli, they do business with each other, and even make more profits in some business activities, so the fact that the Great Song Dynasty government allows Liuqiu money to participate in the currency circulation in the Great Song Dynasty market is really nothing!

Secretly, Da Song has paid a lot, but it is not convenient to explain it publicly, and the main figures such as Zhang Daozhu know it.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan, the two husband and wife and their friends were able to develop their strength wholeheartedly, all of which was used to fight against the Tatar bandit group.

He basically handed over the affairs of the so-called trade routes to his own domestic boys...... Thankfully, those people didn't let him down.

The squad leader in the Lion City Naval Base was like a child who wanted to show off to others when he had good things, and he took the second captain and Wang Zheng to the military dock to see the so-called new sea vessels.

The squad leader said to a small boat on the pier: "Look, that is the flying scissor type transportation and communication ship that Zhang Guoan made specially for our naval base!" ”

The two of them looked together, and saw a small boat of less than 100 tons moored there.

From their point of view, the boat was slender on its side, with a long diagonal pole sticking out of the bow, and the two masts on the boat were also very high, and they seemed to be longer than the entire hull......

The squad leader said proudly, "Don't look at its appearance...... This boat can be reached in a month from Liuqiu Island! ”

Oh my God, just a month!

The eyes of the two people lit up suddenly...... From Liuqiu Island to here, if the wind and water are smooth, it generally takes six or seven months, and if you do some business along the way, it is common to walk for a year.

This time seems normal on this plane...... But Wang Defa's family can't bear it!

He found the information of the clipper ship, and began to build it with the old factory manager Zhang Laoshi according to the above drawings...... (To be continued.) )
