"The market here can only use rice, one out of ten, and if there is no rice, the tap will rise to three out of ten or even four out of ten. Merchant ships without rice would not unload their cargo here unless they needed to dock on the way, and they would go to Guangzhou and Quanzhou. The tap goods stipulated by different city shipping companies are different, but there are ten kinds of goods that must be handed over to the city shipping company to buy, and cannot be sold privately. For Hong Tao's problems, Luo Youde doesn't have to think about it, this is his job.

"The ten?" Hong Tao's heart twitched, he was afraid that among these ten kinds of goods, he would like to operate in the future, wouldn't it be muddy, all of them would have to be purchased by the government at a price, and the profits would inevitably be very small.

"Tortoiseshell, ivory, rhino horn, biniron, locodial bark, coral, agate, frankincense, purple ore, and limestone." Luo Youde said as he took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to Hong Tao.

Hong Tao opened it and saw it, and immediately had a good impression of the institution of Da Song City, and it was the first time he had a good impression of a tax department. This silk cloth roll is actually a list of goods issued by the Great Song City Bo Division, which not only has the names of these ten goods that are prohibited from private sales, but also has a graphic description, and this service attitude must be worthy of affirmation.

"This bark is very, very abundant in my hometown, everywhere, very fierce!" Among these ten items, there is no name that Hong Tao is worried about, and he is relieved, but there are three things that he can't understand what Luo Youde said, looking at the graphic descriptions on the list, he finally understood. The locodile skin is crocodile skin, and the thing painted on the picture is the same as a gecko, isn't it a crocodile, as for what the court wants crocodile skin for, God knows, it is estimated that it is rare, and it will not be used to make leather shoes and leather bags. Purple ore is cuprite, and limestone is natural chalcopyrite.

"Brother Hong's hometown is really a good place...... "Luo Youde doesn't know how to chat with Hong Tao, it's worth the great Song Dynasty's expensive things, your hometown is all rotten streets, Tai Nima hits people!

"When I finish the big sea, if Brother Luo is interested, I am willing to take Brother Luo to see if this is really the case...... Hey, hey, hey! Hong Tao also heard Luo Youde's words, but as long as this cow wants to blow, he can keep blowing, who can go over to verify it?

"I don't know what Brother Hong's big sea ship is capable of?" Luo Youde is still quite proud, he thinks that everything in the Great Song Dynasty is high-tech, and once someone says that it is better than the things of the Great Song Dynasty, he must be more serious. This can't be blamed on him, the Song Dynasty was indeed more developed than other countries in this era.

"This is kept secret for now!" Hong Tao felt that his words were a bit dense, this topic could not be continued, otherwise Australia's lies would be a goof, you have such a good sea boat, why have you never been to the Great Song Dynasty?

"Guaranteed...... ......"Luo Youde and Hong Tao have been together for less than a day, and all kinds of fresh terms are enough to summarize dozens of them."

The colorful bird boat of the Luo family dropped anchor about half a kilometer from the port, and Luo Youde took Hong Tao and a few maids into a small boat and stopped directly at the dock. After going ashore, through the crowd formed by groups of helpers, crowds, soldiers, and small officials, the wharf area was calculated, and Luo Youde took Hong Tao and Bo Xiaoer to a bamboo archway with red lanterns.

"Brother Hong, let's take a break here, the family has already gone to call a taxi, and the refreshments here are good." Luo Youde stretched out his hand, intending to let Hong Tao advance.

"Not busy, not busy...... Is this a restaurant or something else? Hong Tao looked at this colorful archway decorated with silk and flowers, and felt that something was wrong, where is there a big noon to visit the green building!

"Zhenhai Building, the best restaurant in Zhenzhou...... Brother Hong, what else do you think? Luo Youde made Hong Tao stunned, and reintroduced the name of the restaurant, and then pondered the taste.

"Hehehe, that's my heart, in my hometown, only Qinglou hangs red lanterns and flowers at the door......" Hong Tao knew that he was thinking wrong again, yes, this basin still has to be buckled on Australia's head.

"Hahahaha...... Brother Hong is really a wonderful person, and the Qinglou of our Great Song Dynasty also hangs red lanterns, but a cage made of bamboo strips must be put on the outside of the lantern. Zhenzhou is a small place, are to deal with these seafarers, the best place to go is Guangzhou, Quanzhou, if Brother Hong is not in a hurry, I want to go to Guangzhou in the second half of the year, there is a good place, why don't we go to the brothers together? Luo Youde understood what Hong Tao meant, and laughed so happily that he didn't feel that Hong Tao's thoughts were dirty, and he also introduced Hong Tao to the scale of the development of the entertainment industry in the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, a group of people wrapped in turbans and robes came from the pier, and their clothes looked like Hinduism, but they were dark and thin. Hong Tao thought they must have come from Indonesia or the Malay Peninsula, where there were also Hindus, and then they were invaded by the Green Religion. Hong Tao did not know Hindi, and although he had learned a few words from Singh, he was basically the same as non-existent, and he had little interest in Hindus. The men were followed by a few slaves whose hands were shackled around their necks, and they were tied to the horses at the door of the restaurant like cattle.

The high-end restaurant in the Song Dynasty is very interesting, in addition to a large archway at the door and a red lantern hanging, there are also two rows of horses on both sides. Luo Youde said that it is used to prevent mule carts and ox carts from colliding with the archway, and the guests' mules and donkeys can also be tied to it, just like the parking lot at the entrance of the hotel in the future. Of course, if you want to be more advanced, you can also ask the staff of the restaurant to lead your mount to the back of the barn, then not only parking, but also a series of procedures such as car washing, refueling, waxing, maintenance, etc., are not free.

Hong Tao was not concerned with these Southeast Asian merchants, nor with the valet parking service of the Song Dynasty, but the three slaves who were chained to the rejected horses caught his attention. Slaves were no longer available in the Song Dynasty, but many merchant ships from Southeast Asia had slaves, and they were the main labor force for boating. The sail was not very useful in the seafaring activities of this era, and many ships carried two rows of oarsmen, and these oarsmen were very tired, and ordinary people would not do it, so they used slaves as slaves. These slaves came from a variety of sources, even blacks, and they should have been trafficked by Persians or Arabs in the Middle East.

But one of the three slaves was obviously different from the others, he had red hair, yellow-green eyes embedded in deep eye sockets, a high forehead, a high nose, and a pointed chin protruding, this Nima was not a white European! Why was he also captured as a slave? In order to determine whether he had lost his eyes, Hong Tao deliberately walked in front of him and looked at him carefully. That's right, purebred Europeans are still from Northwest Europe, not strings like Turkey and Greece.
