Many islands on the Yangtze River are also the wharves where Wu trains sailors, and the same is true for this island, where many ships are usually moored, and the building ships can also be seen at will, but today these ships have left here, making room for the cargo conference, obviously this Jinling Taishou also attaches great importance to the cargo conference.

They went ashore and came to a shed built not far away, where they were specially prepared to entertain merchants.

Shen Fu had already made arrangements, took a bamboo slip and handed it to the reception staff.

"Shen Family Firm! There are fourteen people in total, and they are recorded. ”

A group of clerks wrote each other down on the bamboo slips.

"Here's your ticket, take it!"

The other party handed Shen Fu fourteen small jade cards.

"My lord, this is a kind of ticket."

Shen Fu handed Liu Yuetian ten vouchers.

The ticket is a kind of ID card-like thing, and it can be used to stay and eat on the island, which is a method that Dawu came up with specifically for the conference, which can be better managed.

This kind of assembly is to issue four kinds of vouchers, A, B, C, and D, which are made of gold, and are intended for powerful officials, but they will not be with these merchants, and they will have a special place to stay.

The second type of voucher is for those famous merchants, made of silver, and the people who can have this kind of voucher are rich people worth millions of dollars, not a small family can compare.

The C voucher is for those merchants with some strength, and it is made of ordinary jade, and these people are considered to be well-known among the merchants, and each is worth more than hundreds of thousands.

The last kind of ticket is just a bamboo slip, which is the most common merchant, and when they come to the goods conference, they only buy some small goods, but these people are the most, and they add up to a large force.

Originally, the Shen family could only get the D voucher, but he had a glass ball in his hand, and this rare treasure immediately attracted the attention of the conference, and it was because of this that Shen Fu and these people could get the C voucher.

"Lord, with my ability, I can only get a C kind of ticket, and I have wronged you."

With Liu Yuetian's identity, he must be a kind of ticket, but he can't expose himself, so he only lets Shen Fu come forward.

"It's okay, what is the ticket or not, we have to do something."

Liu Yuetian doesn't care about these false names.

Liu Yuetian and the others lived in an inn, with the C ticket in their hands, they can live in seven rooms for fourteen people, an average of two people in one room, this is the "privilege" of the C ticket, if it is a D ticket, fourteen people can only live in four rooms, after all, there are not many inns on the island, there are many merchants with D tickets can not even live in the room, can only be in the open air, but these ordinary merchants are used to it, anyway, the night here is not very cold, you can save some money just right.

Everyone first walked around the island, and saw that the fishermen fishing on the river were working, sometimes leaning on the shore to rest, Liu Yuetian looked at the fresh and fat river fish in the fishing boat and couldn't help but move his index finger, and returned to the inn and immediately ordered a sumptuous banquet, and a group of people gathered around to feast.

This cargo conference is about to be held, hundreds of merchants from all over the world are gathered on Jiangxin Island, many goods are also parked on the other side, and guarded by the soldiers of Jinling, once the merchants negotiate with each other on the island, they will be directly delivered on the other side, one hand to pay the money and one hand to deliver, very smooth.

At this moment, two men are sitting on the top floor of a three-story boat not far from the island in the middle of the lake, drinking tea.

"Fourth son, this is the spring tea I just picked in Jinling, it tastes good, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have taken it out easily."

A man dressed in white made hot tea for the man opposite, who was no more than forty years old, with a strong body, round eyes and a broad nose, a goose feather fan in his hand and a gentle flash, with a hint of elegance in his demeanor.

"Hmph, what fourth son? How did I not know? ”

The man on the other side was in his early thirties, dressed in black, with very thick hands and feet, and a scruffy beard on his face, like a savage compared to the other party.

"Hehe, is there anyone in the world who doesn't know the fourth son? Liu Che of the Great Zhou, Liu Chan of Xishu, your brother Huang Taiji, this last one is you Dolgon, I call you the fourth prince no problem. ”

The man in white replied with a smile.

"Bullshit, Liu Che is relying on him to be the son of King Zhou, what big things has he done? Have you ever been in a war? Not to mention fighting, even if he kills, I'm afraid he won't dare, so Liu Chan is the same, it's just a, relying on the bloodline of the Liu family to be known by others......... Thinking of me Dolgon, at the age of thirteen, he followed his father to fight in the south and the north, and his hands were stained with the blood of the enemy, and at the age of sixteen, he destroyed the Murong clan in a battle, which determined the territory of my Qing Dynasty, how could their Liu family compare with me? What a joke! ”

This person is none other than Dolgon, the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, the current king of the Qing Dynasty.

As he spoke, Dorgon took a sip of the teacup and drank it dry, then spit out the tea leaves in his mouth with a snap, behaving rather vulgarly.

The other party didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, a standing waiter next to him hurriedly wiped the water on the floor.

"You're right, the Liu family relies on their status, but Huang Taiji is your brother, and there are not more people killed than you!"

"Much, of course more! He is the most popular in front of his father, and he naturally gets more opportunities, and I completely rely on my own strength......... Hmph, he didn't rely on women to get his father's appreciation, which is also called ability? ”

Dorgon said angrily, not taking the brother seriously between his words.

"Yes! I heard that Huang Taiji is young and old, and there are a lot of tricks in his heart, your Dolgon's ability to fight is stronger than him, but his scheming is not as good as him, the Qing King is now not young, the old man, I like to see my son by his side, you ride a horse every day, and don't pay attention to this matter at all, after a long time, it is naturally not as good as Huang Taiji, listen to my brother's words, this time you can buy some strange and interesting things to give to the Qing King to make him happy, which is good for you. ”

The other party seemed to be persuaded by an elder.

"I am a Manchurian people, I can ride a horse if I can walk, I can wield a knife if I can hold things, I don't ride a horse and I can't wield a knife, what kind of Manchu is that?"

Dorgon yelled unconvinced.

"Okay, this matter is your family matter, I won't mention it, but this time the King of Qing sent you to Jinling to buy grain, it seems that you are still very important in his heart, rest assured, a full 300,000 quintals of grain, a total of 400,000 taels of silver, you pay the money, I will deliver the goods."

The other party talked about buying and selling.

"Governor Zhou, people have a load of grain and a tael of silver, you are good, more than thirty percent, this business is good!"

Dolgon was a little unhappy with the price.

"Is it much? 300,000 quintals of grain! Who can have so much food before the harvest is now? It took me a lot of effort to deduct it from you in the hands of those big grain merchants, and I still have some friendship with the king of Qing to count you as 400,000 taels, if you go directly to buy it, it is far more than this price, I am afraid that it is not necessary to make up enough. ”

The other party shook his feather fan and smiled.

"Okay, 400,000 is 400,000, my escort team is on the way, it will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then I will deliver the goods with one hand and pay the money with the other, and I also brought our flour from the Qing Dynasty, and I will need the help of the governor to sell it at that time!"

"Don't worry, I've already inquired for you, your Daqing flour can be sold for three dollars of silver, and you can give it to me when the time comes."

"Three coins of silver? Three quintals are not as good as a load of white rice, a little less! ”

Dorgon frowned.

"It's a lot, it's a lot, Wu Yue is used to eating white rice, and he has no interest in your flour produced in the Qing Dynasty, only Daqin and Zangzhou will buy it, and I naturally won't give them a low price for Zangzhou and Daqin, so these three coins of silver are not low."

"Okay, three dollars is three dollars, I don't understand anyway."

Dorgon waved his hand and stopped asking questions about the price.

"That's the pleasure, come, let's have another cup of tea."

"What kind of bullshit tea, if the husband wants to drink it, he has to drink it, do you have any wine here?"

Dorgon shouted.

"This tea is about culture, you just don't have culture, I'm here for your good!"

The other party still smiled.

"What culture, culture can kill people and set fires? Can culture lay the foundation of the world? ”

Dorgon looked disdainful.

"Since Childe doesn't like to drink tea, come and drink!"

At the sound of an order, the servant brought a jug of wine.

"With a pot? Haha, you Wu people are really stingy, we all use jars to drink in the north, you go and bring me two altars, don't ask for the things that this woman uses! ”

Dorgon shouted.

"Do what Childe says!"

The other man motioned to the servant.

Soon, three jars of wine were brought up, and Dorgon picked up one and drank it wildly.

"This wine is not strong enough, and it needs two jars! Zhou Yu, don't look at it, come, drink with me .........! ”
