The magnificent sea is endless, and the sea breeze is mixed with a faint salty taste, this taste is close to the taste of land, as soon as he thinks of this, Lu Lanzhi can't help but shout a few times excitedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

...

Lu Lanzhi was originally a small businessman at the Cangzhou docks, his business was very simple, he only liked to do those small business, as small as a glass marble, a small rag doll, a small scissors and other gadgets.

Although the business is not big, in the New Song Dynasty, a place that advocates commerce and changes with each passing day, Lu Lanzhi still relied on his own brain, and soon earned a solid family fortune in Cangzhou, a big golden city.

In just a few months, his savings exceeded 20,000 yuan.

With so much money, Lu Lanzhi couldn't have imagined it before, but now, he can sleep with those copper coins.

Lu Lanzhi's ambitions continued to expand due to the huge profits, and he began not to limit himself to doing business only at the Cangzhou docks, he wanted to cooperate with more people and make his small grocery business bigger.

And the New Song Dynasty regime in Cangzhou encouraged people like him to do bigger business.

Soon, Lu Lanzhi waited for an opportunity.

Half a year ago, the merchant group of Cangzhou in the New Song Dynasty organized a trade with Japan, and the trade was very successful, and after the caravan across the sea came back from a tour of Japan, they exchanged tons of goods for silver and brought them back, and the profit was nearly 100 times.

This made the merchant groups in Cangzhou very optimistic about overseas trade with Japan, so they also applied to the New Song Dynasty regime many times, eager to be able to go to Japan to do business again.

However, the new Song regime seems to have forgotten about Japanese commerce and trade, and has not mentioned it again for a long time.

Just when everyone was about to forget about this, a few months ago, the New Song Kingdom suddenly issued a directive, announcing that merchants were encouraged to go to Japan to do business, but they were not allowed to sell any westward travel metals, land, etc., and supported the sale of goods produced by the citizens of the New Song Kingdom, such as porcelain, tea, glass, clothes, etc.

This made the merchants of Cangzhou celebrate, and they waited for a long time, and finally waited for the government to announce the news of trade with Japan again.

For a while, local businessmen in Cangzhou signed up one after another, all wanting to go to Japan to make some money.

And Lu Lanzhi also signed up to go to Japan to do business together at that time.

This kind of trading in small commodities is very popular in the Japanese market, so Lu Lanzhi only paid 3,000 yuan for the journey, and successfully boarded the clipper ship to the Japanese caravan.

For this trip to Japan, Lu Lanzhi is considered to have made a bloody investment, he exchanged all the 20,000 guan he had saved for a few months of thrift for commodities, and after removing the travel expenses and entanglement, almost no penny was left, he decided in his heart that this time he went to Japan, to make a lot of money, and if he made it, then he would soar into the sky, and Cangzhou Wharf would have one more huge rich man worth 100,000 yuan, and even if he lost, he could make a comeback with his own ability.

Everything was put in order, and the fleet set sail.

This time, the Japanese fleet was very large, with a total of 64 large Fukubunes and more than 100 small New Song ships, which were loaded with goods and sailed towards Japan.

From Cangzhou, along the land and sea lines, through Goryeo, and finally to Japan, where the New Song caravans were treated with unparalleled hospitality.

The Japanese aristocracy was already eager for the goods of the New Song Dynasty, but the novelties sold in the Tokyo supermarkets were too expensive, and for those ordinary nobles, the goods of the Central Plains were still the kind of rare treasures that could not be reached.

But the arrival of the Central Plains caravan brought them good news.

Far lower than the prices of Tokyo supermarkets, but no less refined than those in Tokyo supermarkets, and there were plenty of options to choose from, so as soon as the Cangzhou caravan arrived at the docks in Japan, the goods on their ships were frantically snapped up by the Japanese aristocracy.

Although he already knew in advance that the Japanese nobles were rich, Lu Lanzhi did not expect that the Japanese nobles were so rich, and the silver ingots were added or subtracted at will like things that did not require money, and large pieces of unprocessed silver seemed to have just been taken out of the mine.

The sale was crazy from the beginning, Lu Lanzhi couldn't remember how he sold it, anyway, he had just put the shelves he had prepared, and the contents on them were swept away, leaving behind silver ingots bigger than goose eggs.

After only one day of business, Lu Lanzhi sold all the goods on his body, and that night he counted it, even if the impurities of the silver were not counted, the money on his body now had exceeded 100,000 yuan, and he suddenly became a veritable tycoon.

Holding the silver, Lu Lanzhi woke up laughing when she slept that night.

After selling things, Lu Lanzhi had nothing to do, and for the next few days, he was taking the money to enjoy the customs of Japan along the coast of Japan.

Compared with the luxurious and generous aristocracy, the civilian life in Japan is very miserable, and many of them even have enough to eat, which makes Lu Lanzhi very surprised, because the Japanese he came into contact with are all Japanese nobles, so he thought that Japan was all these rich people, but when he came to the Japanese villages, he felt the backwardness and oppression of the country of Japan.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, this is not only happening in the Great Song Dynasty, but everywhere in this world.

Seeing those scrawny Japanese civilians, Lu Lanzhi suddenly had little interest in the country of Japan, so on the third day after selling things, he followed the first fleet to return to the Great Song Dynasty and embarked on the return journey.

Because some people sell things quickly, and some people sell slowly, the time for the fleet to return to the New Song Dynasty is also different, and Lu Lanzhi took the first fleet to return to the New Song Dynasty.....

.....

After sailing along the coast for more than half a month, judging by the markings on the map, it would be a few days before Lu Lanzhi's fleet could re-arrive in Cangzhou.

Whenever he thought of the whole news, Lu Lanzhi would excitedly walk to the bow deck and look into the distance, he was now eager to return to the Great Song Dynasty and show his relatives and friends the results of his great money.

But today, when Lu Lanzhi stepped on the deck of the ship, he vaguely saw three small black dots on the sea level, and these three small black dots suddenly appeared, and these three small black dots were getting closer and closer......
