"Cangzhou, isn't it the border city between the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty? When did there be a country? Oak Mu was amazed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The general didn't know, there is a princely regime in Cangzhou, according to Cangzhou, the rapid development, the prosperity of the products, it is simply incredible, before March, there was a Cangzhou caravan to take the sea ferry to Japan to sell a batch of pottery sold in Cangzhou, this batch of goods was robbed by the Tokyo nobles, and the price was also raised to the point of 1,500 taels of silver.

Subsequently, this caravan frequently traveled back and forth between the new Song Kingdom and our Japan, selling those ceramic silks of the Song Kingdom at high prices, and making a lot of money.

His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned these merchants who claimed to be from the New Song Dynasty, and learned from them that there was a powerful and rich New Deal in Cangzhou, which not only built a new Cangzhou city, but also encouraged commerce and was extremely rich in goods. ”

"That's why His Majesty the Emperor sent you to this new Song Kingdom to have a look?"

"Yes, at the suggestion of His Majesty the Emperor, with the contribution of the Fujiwara family and the Fangyasu family, our caravan set off to this new Song Kingdom to find out the truth of this new regime." Ota Yuno said excitedly.

"Then, you have arrived in that new Song Kingdom? Saw their city? General Tsugi asked, rubbing his mustache.

"Exactly!" Ota Yuno raised his head, his eyes were a little envious, and he sighed: "It's really a world city that you can't forget at a glance, even if it's Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty, our Tokyo, can't be compared. ”

"Oh? What kind of city is it, I can't compare to Tokyo City? Quercus felt like Ota was bragging.

"Not to mention the size of the city and the complexity of commerce, it is just a night without curfew, and the night is bright, which Bianjing Tokyo and West Kyoto cannot be compared."

"What does it mean to have no curfew at night and bright all night?" Oakwood asked confusedly.

Ota Yuno raised his eyes like a beam of the house, as if he was recalling the shock when he stood on the tower of Antinmen Gate and saw the light of the whole city, "Hmm... They have something called an electric lamp, which glows like a pearl of the night at night, and the light emitted is very strong, and they have this kind of electric light on every street, and from a distance, it looks like a dragon. ”

Ota Yuno's description was so sci-fi that Tsugi couldn't quite understand what he meant, but fortunately, General Tsuraksaki was not a person who had to understand the rules, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Then this castle is really as rich as the legendary materials?" ”

At the mention of this, Ota Yuno was even more excited, only to see him smack his lips and say: "If the general goes to that city, he will definitely feel as if he is in the Celestial Empire, where the grain is so cheap that beggars can afford it, and the goods there are not only prosperous, but also many exquisite utensils that have never been seen before, and what is even more rare is that the officials of the whole city encourage commerce, and their merchants all use a kind of paper money called Jiaozi to buy and sell things, which is very convenient to carry, so that it is unimaginable in our Japan." ”

Hearing Ota Yuno's hand, Tsurchim felt a little itchy and unbearable, but he still held back, nodded the table with his hand and continued to ask: "Those glazed utensils on the dock were all brought back by you from the New Song Kingdom?" ”

"The general is not right, to be precise, those glassware were not taken back, but sold for them." Yuno Ota began to smile like a profiteer.

"Consignment?"

"Exactly, these goods are worth a total of 100,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold, and those big ships are also merchants of the New Song Kingdom, and in the New Song Kingdom, I reached a consensus with their lord to exchange the same weight of silver for the same weight of glazed objects." Ota Yuno said excitedly, as if he had stood on a big bargain.

"Equal weight of silver for equal weight of glass!" General Quercus couldn't help but lose his temper this time, and then, he also said with a light in his eyes, "This kind of glass can be sold for ten times as much silver in Japan!" ”

"I'm going to sell twenty times as much." Yuno Ota smiled wickedly....

.......

The Japanese mission to the New Song Dynasty returned, and when it came back, there were only four large ships, and when they returned, a total of thirty large ships returned, and these thirty large ships brought back a full load of goods—completely transparent glazed ware.

The chief envoy of Ota Yuno, with the deputy envoy of Fuji Yuanmu, as well as a number of judges, recorders, etc., rushed back to Tokyo, and met with the Japanese emperor in the Kyozhao Mansion in Tokyo, and after stating what he saw and heard along the way, the Japanese emperor was more curious about the Cangzhou city depicted by Ota Yuno, and ordered him to prepare for it, and wait for the next typhoon season to pass, and then lead a group of people to set off to the new Song Kingdom.

The glazed ware brought by Ota Yuno from the Central Plains was also favored by the Emperor, and after taking one-third of the goods and replenishing them to the Imperial Palace of Japan, according to custom, the Japanese Emperor generously gave the remaining two-thirds of the glazed ware to other nobles.

All of a sudden, this completely transparent glass vessel became the object of competition among the nobles of the entire Tokyo area.

At first, Ota Yuno sold the glassware for twenty times the weight of silver, but found that it was sold much faster than he expected.

When the remaining half was sold, Ota Yuno announced that the price of these glassware had risen to thirty-five times the weight of silver, and even so, many nobles still flocked to it, no matter how expensive it was, anyway.

Forty times, fifty times, and by the time the last batch of glass cups and bowls were sold, the price had already reached sixty times, and the silver earned by Ota Yuno was enough to fill two large ships.

Looking at the mountains of silver, Ota swore that he had never seen so much money in his life, and while he was shocked by the crazy purchasing power of the Japanese aristocracy, he lamented the huge profits that could be made by trading with the New Song Kingdom.

The sensation of glassware continued, spreading from Tokyo to the outside world, and then Yuno Ota learned that Osaka Castle had begun to sell transparent glassware to the aristocracy.

The price of takeaway in Osaka Castle is 100 times the price of silver.

Even with such a black-hearted price, a glass is still hard to find in the vicinity of Osaka, and many nobles are proud to have a glassware at home, and those who have not bought a single one of them are all beating their chests and feet, looking for people everywhere to find relationships, as long as they can buy a glassware, even if they spend more money, they are willing to .....
