Chapter 584 Making Money Depends on Good Vision

When Yan Song and others were amazed by the cost of the railway, in Dengzhou, not far away, some people were frightened by the huge purchase amount. [No pop-up novel network]

"One is fifty thousand taels...... Gold? Why didn't he go and grab it? Wang Jianzhi's eyes were about to pop out, although the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were rich in the world, and they could exchange so much gold for a ship, it was still too mysterious, could it be that the ship was made of gold?

"My king's meaning is also too expensive, North Korea has too few products, and he can't come up with so much money anyway." Jin Jushu had a bitter face, and at the same time wanted to cry, everything was going well, but who would have thought that the other party would ask for a price?

Besides, he secretly raised his head and looked at Wang Jian with disdain, do you think the plague god didn't rob it? He didn't do it himself, but those Mongolian Tatars didn't rob them all the way, and now there are many more destitute people in the north of North Korea, do you know?

And those people also have a problem with their brains, obviously it was the plague god who robbed them, but they still wanted to go to Liaodong to escape the famine, isn't this self-defeating?

"Didn't you bargain with them?" Wang Jianzhi is indeed very strategic, but a penny can stump a hero, 50,000 taels of gold is 500,000 taels of silver, and he can't just buy one or two ships, so the resourceful Lord Wang is also stumped.

"Lord Wang, you must know that the governor is the brother-in-law of Liaodong! Who would dare to bargain with him? The messenger sent opened his mouth, but he was almost not beaten, alas, he could not cut it, and he could not cut it. "The golden verdict is even more worried.

What is a vulnerable group? When the Koreans deal with the Governor's Office, they are very weak, and bargaining, it is a conversation between the strong, and they have nothing to do with them at all.

"You can beg bitterly...... Wang Jianzhi was anxious, seeing a sharp weapon that could determine the outcome of the battle in front of him, but he could only smell it, and he had to be anxious for anyone.

"......" Jin Jushu rolled his eyes, begging for useful words, can that person still be called a plague god?

"This is also a ...... of enduring humiliation" Wang Jianzhi also found that he had lost his words, and pale in defense, suddenly gritted his teeth, stomped his feet again, and said hatefully: "That's it, 50,000 taels is 50,000 taels, buy ten first!" ”

"......" Jin Jushu's jaw was about to fall to the ground, arrogant, domineering, just buying a few boats, and casually threw out 500,000 taels of gold, that is, five million taels of silver!

No wonder people say that the Ming Dynasty is rich in the world, this is really true, look at the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and then look at yourself, in addition to hiding your face and crying, what else can you do? Shame wow!

"Lord Wang, when you were in the capital, didn't you say that you could imitate it? Isn't it better to buy one or two and use them first? "In line with the mentality that the interests of allies are their own interests, Kim Jushu made a plan.

"From North Korea to Jeju Island and then to Shandong, time is all spent on the road, and big things are about to happen, where is there so much time to waste? It's only five million taels of silver, compared to the big thing of hoeing and annihilation, this amount of money is nothing, and the righteous people in Jiangnan can afford it! Wang Jianzhi waved his hand very arrogantly, and he didn't pay attention to the annual income of the Ming Dynasty at all.

"It's not very safe here in Dengzhou, Jin Judgment, wait for the next official to send a few people back to North Korea with you, in case there is fraud, before the transaction, they will inspect the ship, and after the transaction is completed, they will sail back to Ningbo directly...... On the road and before and after the transaction, I'll leave it to you. ”

There has been no news from Tianjin, except for knowing that the port is under construction there, there is no further information, and sending people to spy on the surrounding area has obtained similar news, so Wang Jianzhi does not know why Yan Song has been staying in Tianjin without moving.

Although Zhu Qin resigned, most of Shandong was still in the sphere of influence of the Shi Party, and if he was not sure, Wang Jianzhi would not have come to Dengzhou.

But he won't take it lightly, Yan Song has the name of the governor of Denglai after all, and it is unknown whether there is a layout or eyeliner in secret, and the secret meeting can be placed here, but the transaction will not work.

In addition to the possible problems in Dengzhou, Bohai Bay is not very safe, and the patrol ships in Lushun have a wide range of alerts, even as far as Weihaiwei. If the ship returned from the trade still went from the Bohai Sea, it was very likely to be discovered, or even simply robbed back, so it was safest to go back to Ningbo directly.

Not to mention that this transaction involves a huge amount of money, and it is indeed impossible to afford to delay.

If there was no accident on Liang Chu's side, the Guangdong sailor must have already set off, and it is unknown whether he has arrived in Ningbo. There are already tens of thousands of sailors and the pirates who have gathered together, and although the fleets of each family have not yet been assembled, the number will not be less than this.

Even if Ningbo is an important stronghold of the Jiangnan scholars, there is no doubt about their control over it, but no matter how careful the sailors of this scale are, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not leak the news at all.

And on his side, even if Xie Hong didn't do anything on the ship, everything went smoothly on the way, but after buying the boat, and then returning to Ningbo from North Korea, it would always be delayed for a month or two, and then there would be time for research and imitation, and the time would not be enough.

For this reason, Wang Jianzhi can't even care about the economic blockade strategy set before.

The northern maritime merchants on the left and right side of Tianjin have already gone to sea, and according to the Koreans, Xie Hong has dispatched thousands of Mongols, and it is likely that he will launch a very targeted strategy against the Japanese state.

"I know, Lord Wang, just rest assured, you have to believe in the loyalty and perseverance of our Korean nation." Kim swore an oath.

"Well, for the friendship between the two countries that has been passed down from generation to generation, and for the awe-inspiring righteousness in the world, Brother Youzheng, let's work together." Under the strong pressure of the common enemy, the two hands were clasped tightly together, full of anticipation for the future.

…… On the vast blue waves, a fleet of ships sailed forward, and this fleet was made up of dozens of lucky ships, each of which had a deep draft, so the speed was not very fast.

There were quite a few people standing on the decks of the ships, some of them looking into the distance on tiptoe, as if they would be able to reach their destination sooner; There are also people who are eagerly talking to their companions, and their emotions are very high.

However, more people are staring at the sea blankly, with some dazed eyes and some trepidation, of course, the most is expectation.

Sun Li is like this, as a native of Beijing, although it is not the first time he has seen the sea, but it is the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair when he goes to sea.

At first, it was okay, but when the fleet left Weihaiwei in transit and sailed into the boundless East China Sea, he still couldn't help but feel a little lonely and dazed, after all, among those old guys in the West Street of the Imperial City, he was the only one involved in the sea trade, and now there are no half acquaintances around him.

"Brother, it's your first time at sea, right?" A somewhat strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

The voice is a little old, obviously it is an old man who speaks, but his tone is very high, and he is full of energy when he speaks, and he does not look old at all, that is to say, it is an old man who is full of spirits when he comes to talk.

Turning his head and seeing the person who spoke, Sun Li confirmed his guess, this old man was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, his beard and hair were gray, but he looked vigorous, he also carried a wine jug in his hand, and when he spoke, there was also a smell of wine spurting out, obviously drinking it was refreshing.

"Exactly, growing up under the roots of the imperial city in Xiadaxiao, only when I went to Shandong to visit relatives when I was a child, I saw a sea ...... in Dengzhou" Alone outside, it is better to have a speech than nothing, not to mention going out, multiple acquaintances will take care of it more, and now I am going to the country of Wa thousands of miles away, and there are many places that need help.

"Ha, you still have relatives in Shandong, old man, I am also from Shandong, we are fellow villagers." The old man seems to be a self-acquaintance, and he actually started a relationship.

"Well, all brothers in the four seas, all from the Ming Dynasty, of course they are fellow countrymen, by the way, in the words of that Lord Yan, we are compatriots." There was such a person on the journey, but it also distracted Sun Li's attention, he was also an open-door businessman in the capital, and his eloquence and behavior were not bad, and the two soon had a heated conversation.

"Brother, just looking at you like this is not like the first time you go to sea, the ones inside are like ...... Hehe, it's the first time to go to sea, eighty percent of them look like this. The old man smiled narrowly in the direction of the cabin.

"I'm strange myself, the first time I took a boat, I didn't get seasick, maybe this lucky boat is more stable, hehe." Thinking of those companions who were so seasick that they couldn't get up, Sun Li was also very happy, the journey was very long, and if he suffered a sin all the way, it would be too uncomfortable.

However, he is just not seasick, and it is likely that he is still blessed by the lack of wind and waves at sea, but the old brother in front of him is so drunk that his face is flushed, and he has nothing to do, which is a higher level than himself.

"Brother Hu, did you run the sea before?" Sun Li asked in a low voice.

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Weihaiwei has few people there, and it is really sad not to go to sea to beg for a living."

The old man sighed with great feeling, and when he saw Sun Li's nervous appearance, he laughed again: "I said Brother Sun, why are you so careful?" Are you afraid that someone will not be able to take the lead? Don't say that there are no unkind and righteous people here, even if there is, it's fine, the current Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and there are capable ministers like our Hou Ye to assist, that bullshit sea ban is long gone, haha. ”

"It's better to be careful when you're out and about." Sun Li laughed with him, this cautiousness is also a problem he developed in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many eunuchs like dogs, how can you be a person if you are not careful? If you make a mistake, you will never recover.

"By the way, Brother Sun, what kind of goods are you bringing with you from the capital?" The old man Hu was bold, and he didn't have any fear between his words, and he didn't pay attention to the precautions between the merchants, and asked directly about the goods brought by Sun Li.

“…… It's just some cotton cloth, Shu brocade and the like," Speaking of the goods he brought, Sun Li was a little surprised, "The younger brother is a tailor, and he can only find some ways in his own work, and other things, I can't think of them, and I can't find the source of goods." ”

Most of the maritime merchants were very unfamiliar with the Japanese state, and they knew nothing about this island country except for the occasional warning information about the invasion of the country by the Japanese invaders in the imperial court newspaper.

However, the harvest that the champion Hou brought back from the Wa Kingdom is real, and Hou Ye has always been reputable, and everyone believes that following Hou Ye will definitely not suffer, so there are many people who sign up to participate in sea trade.

However, the enthusiasm for participation is very high, but when it comes to what to sell, everyone is blind, and doing business has to pay attention to supply and demand, the greater the demand, the less the supply, the more profitable, but what are the shortcomings of the Wa country, what is easy to make money, then no one knows.

In the face of the doubts of novice maritime businessmen, Tianjin Shipbuilding Division quickly gave the answer, the answer was very concise, but it was precisely because it was too concise, so it made people feel very unreliable.

In addition to a few special commodities, the country lacks everything, just buy to sell, if you really can't find the source of goods or can't think of what to sell, it doesn't matter, just bring enough copper money to buy goods in the country, the scope of purchase is not limited, but to list the special commodities as a recommended choice.

If it weren't for the Meng Shen general who said this, he was holding a farewell sign given by the emperor, Sun Li really wanted to stab him with scissors, what is this?

Let's take a look at what those special commodities include, gold, silver, copper, ingots, and sulfur. Let's not talk about the latter ones, but, use copper money to buy copper, take it back to Daming and sell it, so that you can make money? And you can earn the round-trip fare?

Basically, Tailor Sun was a proper man, so he still drew up his own trade plan according to his own trade. Selling cloth to make a lot of money sounds like nonsense, but it's better than taking copper money to buy gold and silver, right? Anyway, the country lacks everything, and it is also said by the Ship Division, its own goods are not enough than the above, and there is always more than the bottom, right?

Sun Li knew, I don't know if he didn't find the source of goods, or if it was the surname of this kind of gambling, there were really a few people who didn't believe in evil, they all packed a few large boxes of copper coins and got on the boat, and they didn't bring anything else, compared to this kind of person, Sun Li still has a little confidence.

"Cotton cloth and Shu brocade, this thing is good, the sales in the country must be good, Brother Sun has a vision." The old man Hu raised his thumb and praised Sun Li very much.

"This thing is good?" Sun Li was a little surprised, these things were so common in Daming that he was a little embarrassed to say them.

"Of course, the textile level of the Wa country is very low, and most of them wear linen, well, there are quite a few who don't wear clothes."

The old man raised his neck, drank all the wine in the wine jug, and then wiped his mouth and said: "Hou Ye said before that the women of the Wa Kingdom like silk, which is thinner, hey, Brother Sun, you know, but because men have to fight and have no armor, they like thicker clothes, how thick Shu brocade is, they must like it." ”

"I see." Sun Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"But Brother Sun, you are not the most discerning, the most discerning are those ......" The old man raised his chin, Sun Li followed the past, but found that it was those who brought copper coins on the boat.

"Them?" Sun Li was confused.

"Well, brother, just watch it, you'll know when the time comes, hehe." Old man Hu laughed meaningfully.
