Quanzhou, the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, was already very prosperous in the Tang and Song dynasties, and in the Ming Dynasty, the forbidden sea was not as prosperous as before, but the maritime trade was never cut off.

Especially recently, there was a news from Zhangzhou Yuegang, which made the whole Quanzhou lively. There is always a well-known secret in the streets or in the restaurants and teahouses.

"Shopkeeper Yang! I heard that a Xiyi merchant came to Yuegang, who was frantically buying raw silk. And the price is very high, as long as there is raw silk, he will swallow it in one bite! A fat-headed, big-eared businessman whispered.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang also glanced left and right and said, "Brother Li doesn't know!" My uncle's cousin's eldest uncle was on an errand in Yuegang. According to him, the raw silk in Yuegang has been bought up by the Xiyi people!

And fifteen taels and one pack swallowed without even blinking an eye, I've heard about it! This is just a small fight, people don't buy enough goods at all, and they are coming to Quanzhou recently! ”

"Ahh Such a high price? Isn't Lao Zhang going to get rich? No way! I also have to collect some raw silk for backup, in case the Xiyi people really come to Quanzhou, wouldn't it be in vain to watch the silver slip away from their fingertips without raw silk in their hands? Brother Li suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Go along! Let's go! Let's act together, maybe we can smash the price down a few more points! Shopkeeper Yang raised his hand.

Brother Li also raised his hand and high-fived each other with Shopkeeper Yang, and a simple alliance was formed.

Quanzhou can be said to be full of mountains and rains, and the price of ordinary goods such as raw silk has doubled overnight. Not only was the raw silk on the market swept away, but even the surrounding raw silk was ordered in advance.

Those merchants who deal in raw silk are not stupid, and when they heard the news, they all put up signs that they had sold out.

This made the price of raw silk even more rolling, and the raw silk that used to be three taels of silver and a pack of raw silk rose to ten taels.

This is still not the case of seeing the Xiyi fleet, if there is definite news that the Xiyi people will buy a large number of raw silk, I am afraid that this price will be crazy.

Merchants with access began to look for the source of raw silk, and even went to Sichuan and Shu to buy raw silk.

After all, no one knows when the Xiyi people will return to Quanzhou, and the merchants are frantically hoarding goods, hoping to sell the raw silk in their hands at a good price.

When Zhu Yiqun rushed to Quanzhou, he was surprised to find that his so-called exclusive news had already spread all over Quanzhou. And the price of raw silk has risen even more, reaching a point where he is a little staggered.

In desperation, he could only try to buy some raw silk from some large raw silk merchants, but his purchase was more certain of the accuracy of the news.

Merchants with raw silk in their hands are even more reluctant to sell raw silk, and have locked the doors of their warehouses, never selling even the slightest trace of raw silk.

While all the merchants were happily waiting for the arrival of the Xiyi fleet, a merchant sold a large amount of raw silk. This man is also a maritime merchant, but his raw silk is a Japanese product.

When his raw silk entered Quanzhou, it was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's hearts. The raw silk, which was originally fifteen taels of silver, was shocked by these Japanese goods to only five taels of silver.

Some big businessmen were also a little shaken, for fear that the anger of their acquisitions would be smashed in their hands.

Just when everyone was undecided, Zhu Yiqun, the head of Quanzhou, stood up and ate all these Japanese goods with his own strength.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were smashed down, which really let this group of Quanzhou people see what it means to spend money like dirt. At this time, the confidence of the merchants was once again sufficient, and they all swept the goods and ate raw silk.

The merchants were not happy, and soon the raw silk of Sichuan and Shu entered Quanzhou again, and this time the people had the experience of the last time and ate all the raw silk.

It did not make the price of raw silk drop much, and it still maintained the price of about eight taels of silver.

Just when the merchants of Quanzhou were about to see through, a huge fleet slowly sailed into Quanzhou. Although there is no right to trade with the Xiyi people here, the energy of the maritime merchants is huge, and the government has to shut its mouth.

Fernandez once again appeared in people's field of vision, and his arrival immediately made Quanzhou lively. Countless pairs of eyes stared at this Xiyi people, as if this was a huge self-propelled gold mine.

Fernandez did not disappoint the merchants of Quanzhou, as long as the raw silk that appeared on the market was eaten immediately, the high price of eight taels of silver a pack could not help this Xiyi man at all, and nine taels of silver only made this elegant European gentleman frown.

The price of ten taels of silver only made the Xiyi man a little angry, but the high price of fifteen taels of silver made Fernandez angry.

A full five times the price made Fernández surprisingly angry, and the gentleman with elegant manners went berserk in several shops.

In a restaurant, Fernandez roared angrily: "Blackmail! The blackmail of the red fruit! You have joined forces to control the price of raw silk, fifteen taels of silver a pack of raw silk, this price is outrageous! ”

In the face of Fernandez's roar, the merchants present were very calm. Fernandez's roar was of no avail, the supply was in their hands, and the Xiyi had no leverage to threaten them.

The wealthy merchant stood up and said, "Mr. Fei, don't be impatient, do business!" It is normal to have losses and profits, how can there be a steady profit and no loss in this world, if Mr. Fei has such a business, he will not take care of the friends sitting there? ”

Only then did Fernandez realize that he was a little rude, and hurriedly bowed slightly and said elegantly: "I'm sorry for the anger just now, but for a pack of raw silk of fifteen taels of silver, our Lord Earl has little profit, and I also ask you to reduce the price of raw silk a little more, so that I can go back and explain to Lord Earl!" ”

The rich merchant's heart blossomed, but he still had that embarrassed expression on his face, and he must have just sensed one word from Fernandez's words, that is, there was not much profit.

This shows that a pack of fifteen taels of silver is still profitable for the Xiyi people, as long as the price is bitten to death, the Xiyi people will still buy it.

Maybe even if it goes up a little more, the Xiyi people will accept it, but it depends on the next game between the two sides, and it depends on who can hold on to the end.

"Mr. Fei's words are wrong! Raw silk cannot be worn directly on the body, which requires the exquisite fabric of the textile city. And the price of fabric is not static, as long as the fabric is a little more expensive! "Wealthy businessmen follow the path of good temptation.
