() I thought that I would not be able to see the passing ships until dawn, and contact them to help deliver the news, but when a bonfire was being held on the beach, several lights shone in the middle of the sea, and Akira's eyes hurt.

Suddenly, there were two missing lights, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sighed at the same time.

"What's that, why aren't the two lights shining again?" Becky asked as she rummaged through her bag for binoculars.

"It's broken." Zhang Xiaobao explained to his sister: "The quality of the large searchlight is not very good due to technology. ”

"It's a military ship belonging to my Datang, there is no such equipment on the merchant ship, send a telegram, and now I can get in touch." Wang Juan immediately judged the ownership of the ships on the sea.

At this time, only Datang has this kind of technology, so there is no need to worry about other countries' ships.

Sure enough, the telegram was sent out, and it was quickly replied that there was a gunboat and a supply ship, which was on a regular cruise, and when it saw countless fires on the seashore, they took a photo, and if there was no radio signal here, a small boat would be sent down to check on it.

Now that they didn't have to worry about the danger of being hit by the reef by the sea, the two boats were ordered to head for the nearest lighthouse.

As long as the lighthouse is contacted, all other problems will not be a problem, and a ship will be dispatched soon.

What is left of Zhang Xiaobao here is to wait, waiting for the big ship to gather here in a few days, take it back together, and sort out the things he carried.

All the way through the territory of India, naturally they will not rush empty-handed, but will trade with the locals when they meet them.

The way of trade is not barter, it is to buy it directly, and use Datang's money, which is a hard currency, and all places that have trade with Datang are willing to use Datang money.

Because the merchants of the Tang Dynasty went elsewhere, one used a high exchange ratio to exchange goods directly with the locals, and the other slightly lowered the price of their own goods so that the other party could use the Tang currency to buy, but rarely used the Datang money to buy the other party's goods. Unless the other party's goods are very good, such as pearls, gold and other expensive luxury goods.

This has a consequence, Datang's money is very valuable outside. As long as you use Datang's currency, you can directly row a boat to Datang, buy things in Datang, and make a lot of money after returning to your own country or tribe.

The oppression of weak countries by technological and military powers is so direct. There is not even a need to set up trade barriers, but Datang still has export tariffs. There are no import tariffs, and there is no need to worry about the impact of other local primary products or raw materials on Datang's related industries.

Exports are different, Datang's current things are of good quality, and they also contain a certain technical content, other countries come to buy, add an export tax, people don't care, take things back to their own places, and put this part of the tariff money directly into the cost of commodity sales. Let the other people who buy take care of it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew this, and they understood it very thoroughly, for example, for their foreign luxury goods at that time, such as leather bags or something, other countries added an export tax, and when they arrived at home, they added an import tax. It looks expensive, but there are still people vying to buy it.

The value of its own raw materials and man-hours is not very high, and the high price lies in the brand effect, as if it has such a luxury, and its own identity has also improved.

Zhang Xiaobao bought it, and bought a lot of luxury goods. Including yachts and airplanes, professional needs, but Wang Juan does not wear and wear any brand things, she is specially made by someone in the family, and there is no brand on the clothes, even if she casually pulls a piece of cloth around her neck, others have to praise her scarf beautifully.

But not everyone can be like her. If you can't increase the value of a commodity by status, you need to use the value of a commodity to increase your status.

At present, the countries and regions that have dealings with Datang are like this, it does not matter how much the cost of raw materials is, the important thing is that it comes from Datang.

Xiaobei rummaged through the bag, but did not turn out the telescope, and what came out was a fist-sized rough diamond, which had not been cut and processed by a cloth.

She looked at the campfire and praised: "It's so cheap, it's a big diamond, it only sells for forty yuan, and you can make at least five hundred glass knives when you take it back." ”

Xiao Hai next to him sighed and said, "If you don't work hard to learn mathematics, such a large piece of diamond can make at least three thousand glass knives, and if the craftsmanship is good, the number can be increased." ”

"Isn't that a fortune?" Xiao Qiang probed his head and agreed.

"I'll do the math on how much a glass knife is." The little man also joined in the fun.

Xu Yilong looked at the hot eyes, hesitated for a moment, and discussed: "I'll exchange 10,000 glass knives with you when I go back, okay?" ”

"Are you stupid or do you take us for fools? We just talked, did we really think we would make a glass knife out of this diamond? Xiaobei asked Xu Yilong very dissatisfied.

"I heard you say you want to make glass knives."

"Believe it when you hear it? Didn't you also buy two yuan, go back and make a fortune, remember to pay back, 10% profit, calculated by day, recalculated every day, you borrowed a total of 220 yuan from us, and bought a lot of things, right? ”

Xiaobei mentioned Xu Yilong's borrowing of money, Xu Yilong didn't bring any money with him, he followed the team, he didn't spend money on eating and drinking, and he had to borrow from Xiaobei when he traded with others.

He borrowed 220 yuan and bought a lot of good local things, and after he went back, after processing, the value could increase nearly 300 times, and now he hopes to get home soon.

"Yes, yes, one percent of the benefits." Xu Yilong replied, and at the same time calculated in his heart, but he couldn't figure out how much it would be after dozens of days.

"It's good to admit it, let me remind you first, Brother Xiaohai, if it's a hundred days, then you need to pay more than 13,780 times the two hundred and twenty times." Xiaobei said to Xu Yilong with a smile.

Xu Yilong's face was bitter, and he nodded: "It won't be a hundred days, it will be fifteen days since I borrowed money, as soon as I set foot on the territory of Datang, I will immediately find a money bank to give you the money, it is estimated that it will not take fifty days, just calculate it according to fifty days, how much?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Hai.

Xiao Hai frowned, found a branch, scratched it on the ground, pulled it twice, shook his head, took out an abacus from his bag, snapped it, and after dozens of breaths, he said to Xu Yilong: "Fifty days." The daily interest rate is 10 percent rollover, which is 117.391 times. ”

Xu Yilong couldn't say anything, and stretched out his thumb to draw at Xiao Haibi.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also looked at their younger brother Xiaohai with satisfaction, if they want to say yes, they will too, but they are not as skilled as Xiaohai, and they are not so fast.

Of course. What makes the two even happier is that the younger brother Xiaohai is indeed very talented in mathematics, but he has not learned to be stupid. If all you have in mind is numbers and formulas all you have in mind, two people will take coercive measures.

Xu Yilong heard that it was more than 100 times more than 50 days, and his heart relaxed, more than 100 times more bearable, at most, it was 30,000 times, which was better than more than 13,000 times in 100 days.

Although he can't take out 30,000 yuan at home, he can run to the money bank immediately after he goes ashore, mortgage his things, and take out the money to pay back to Xiaobei and them. If the price is very low when you take out a loan, you can also use the family's credibility to lend, or even borrow from others.

No matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective than the money you owe to them, the interest is too high, and the interest is rolling.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about the transaction between Xu Yilong and his younger siblings, they believed that the little ones would not specifically cheat Xu Yilong, and they must have calculated the time to go back before. If it had taken 100 days, the interest would never have been so high.

For this transaction, the two of them are more happy and relieved, Xiaobei are short of money? Naturally, there is no shortage, and now I am worried about how to make good use of the money, not to make more money. How to improve the life of Datang children.

Giving Xu Yilong an interest shows that the little ones are sensible, and it is nothing to borrow 220 yuan directly, or give Xu Yilong these money.

But then Xu Yilong lost a sense of achievement, and when he arrived in China, people in his circle would also look down on him. thinks that he took advantage of Xiaobei and them, not his own ability.

According to the current situation, Xu Yilong took the risk, it was his own judgment and choice, and when he went back, he could pat his chest with the people in the circle and say that in such a high interest situation, he gambled, and he believed in his own vision.

In this way, the old man Xu Jian will also be happy.

This time, the battle was not enjoyable, but the money was not less, and all the way through the Indian place, except for the tribes that had been collected before, everyone else traded with the Indians.

The way to trade is to first take the money to buy local good things, and then sell the canned food and other consumables that are used in the queue to the locals who have just received the money, which is not very expensive, half cheaper than the merchant who comes.

Anyway, if you can't use up your things, it's worthless to go back.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team waited for six days before they could gather the ships that could take them back, some of which were ships that had just come out of the Tang Dynasty to sail for trade, carrying things on board, and unloading the things, leaving a few people to trade with the local people with the cooperation of the guards, so as to carry Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan back empty.

There are also merchant ships that have passed through countless rìzi from the outside to load goods to return to Datang, and they also unload the goods, put them in the local area first, and wait for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team to go back, and then run a short trip.

No one mentions compensation, it's all voluntary.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say anything about state compensation, they wrote down every merchant ship, and when they went back, they would provide some good methods or technologies for the merchant ships.

The people in the tribe that followed the team to Tang before finally felt what it meant to be a strong country at this moment.

Especially the original tribal leader Seymour Tamahe, he knows what is behind this matter, that is the cohesion of a country, for his own tribe, for his own country, there will never be such a situation, unless it is under the threat of force, otherwise who is willing to easily give up their own interests?

"It doesn't seem to be long before Datang will occupy all the places around them, at least I can see it when I'm alive, it's really strong."

When he came to the boat and watched the people on the boat look happy at Zhang Xiaobao and the people in Wang Juan's team, Seymour Tamahe muttered with emotion.
