179, late to come, there is no place to step in
"So, there is no army in this county, and the army is mainly elsewhere?" Chen Chen let out a sigh of relief as he listened to the soldier's words. (8) Ω (1) 8⒈
"Yes, Your Majesty, business is very good here." The soldier hurriedly said.
Chen Chen nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it first, I will first take someone to the local government to meet the county guard, and you will be responsible for selling the goods brought this time, waiting for the opportunity." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone nodded in agreement, and they also thought that this method was very good.
There are also a lot of goods brought this time, including delicious dried fish and some gadgets that are special to Dongshui, some for men and women, and there are all kinds of products.
Night soon covered the sea, and the merchants of Dongshui watched the surrounding movements vigilantly to prevent anyone from attacking at night.
And with so many large ships moored outside the harbor in Dongshui, how could the people on the island not know what was going on? At this moment, the county guard's mansion and everyone gathered tightly together to discuss this overseas ship.
Early the next morning, the Dongshui soldiers began to land with their belongings, and it seemed to be a common practice for the workers here to carry the goods.
"Masters, look at how heavy these items are, why don't we carry them for you, you just need to give the villain some wine money."
"Yes, several masters, we are very clear about here, and we can also help several masters sell items along the way, so that you will not suffer."
"Hire us, our prices are very low, and we are guaranteed to satisfy several masters."
Someone took the initiative to ask to move the goods, and the price was low, how could the people of Dongshui not be willing? Immediately agreed without hesitation, and handed over the goods to these workers, and asked for the information they wanted from the mouths of these workers.
And for the sake of money, these workers almost knew everything and knew everything, and the Dongshui people quickly understood the information here.
At this moment, Chen Chen took a carriage and took the powerful guards straight to the official mansion.
Lifting the curtain and looking out, it is indeed extremely prosperous in commerce, but the commercial sales are all primary commodities, although it has also produced the sprout of capitalism, but it is very weak, and Dongshui can completely destroy this sprout of capitalism.
There are also some small buildings on both sides of the street, and the pedestrians who come and go are dressed plainly, and there is no chaotic behavior such as theft, which shows that this place is very simple.
Chen Chen ordered someone to stop the carriage, glanced at the guards, and then shook the fan and swayed to the stall of a small vendor.
"Oh, this son, what do you need?" The little trader looked at Chen Chen's silk and satin, dressed gorgeously, and hurriedly greeted him happily: "Our Cairo Island is the most prosperous and wealthy place, and there is abundant fruit and food here, which is guaranteed to make you foreigners extremely satisfied." ”
Chen Chen smiled: "The old man has good eyesight, so quickly recognized that I am not a local?" ”
"That's right, there are a lot of foreigners here, so the little old man can hear your accent." The old man smiled, not as if he was not afraid of Chen Chen's questioning.
Chen Chen took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, I'm very curious, why are there so many foreigners here?" ”
The old man smiled and said: "Our Cairo Island is the largest island in the Cairo archipelago, and the east of our archipelago is the troubled era of the Great 6, where the countries fought each other, and finally the war burned to us, but because we are far away from the big 6 here, there are not many wars, and because we have a beautiful climate and rich resources, many foreigners choose to settle here." ”
"Oh, there are so many foreigners, why don't you have an army in the local area, aren't you afraid of foreign invasion?" Chen Chen listened to the old man's speech, and probably understood this, obviously this is a mixture of fish and dragons, if there is no army to control the local area, how to stabilize the place?
The old man sighed helplessly: "Although we don't have a war here, but we have long been controlled by the countries here, and in order to compromise with each other, we signed an agreement to set up the ports of the countries here, and no country is allowed to meddle here, otherwise it will be against the countries, so there is no army here, but once there is chaos here, then there will soon be an army to suppress it." ”
After hearing this, Chen Chen frowned suddenly, damn himself, he was actually late, several islands here have actually been divided, and this place has actually become a place similar to its own trade port, so how can Dongshui intervene here to compete with other countries?
Scooped up a few fruits at random, Chen Chen was distraught and didn't go to visit the county guard's mansion, and directly started to wander around the local area, obviously such a good place, he couldn't get involved, Chen Chen was so angry that he could almost crush the fruit.
The city wall is quite large, Chen Chen has been here for a long time, and he has probably finished the city, the degree of civilization here is quite up, people's minds are also particularly enlightened, and businessmen play a pivotal role in society.
However, Chen Chen has been here for a long time, and there are no facilities in the economic field such as banks, let alone some bulk commodities and some high-tech handicrafts.
Moreover, there are many foreigners here, and the business is relatively good, and the surrounding islands are even more populous and have a vast market! Then this is an opportunity! Looking at the situation here, Chen Chen's eyes lit up, the opportunity of Dongshui has come, since he can't occupy the territory here, then it's okay to get involved in the financial industry here, build the Wanguo Bank here, and share the money from the income of foreigners.
Although the construction of the financial industry is very costly, nerve-wracking and manpower-wracking, and it is easy to have a crisis, but under the exhibition of businessmen, Dongshui has a lot of gold and silver in the treasury, and now that the artillery fire has also come out, Dongshui is fully capable of using strong force to protect the country's overseas banks in a place.
"Come on, go to the government office immediately to see the county guard." Thinking of this, Chen Chen hurriedly went to see the county guard, wanting to win this order as soon as possible and build Dongshui Bank as soon as possible.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard nodded, and the carriage drove straight to the county guard's mansion.
At the gate of the county guard's mansion, the guard saw Chen Chen's carriage coming, and immediately stopped the carriage: "This is the county guard's mansion, what are you all going to do?" Hurry up, get out of here. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Chen smiled slightly: "Ao, we are from abroad and want to meet Lord Junshou." With that, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
The guard hurriedly bent down and picked up the silver, and said in an extremely respectful and fearful tone: "Ah, it turns out that the master is from abroad, so the big ship outside is yours?" Okay, let's report it to the little ones. ”
The guards soon entered the house, and after a while, someone came out to greet them. (To be continued.) )
