Xing'an seasickness, when passing through Nanjing, he did not let the docking, but when he arrived in Fuzhou, he couldn't help it, and even vomited bile, and blamed him for not drinking the unpalatable seasickness medicine in advance, and asked the fleet to move forward at full speed.

"Take a day off in Fuzhou, just one day off." Xing'an said weakly.

The flotilla approached Fuzhou, but was blocked by the patrol ships of the Fujian Metropolitan Division.

"Who's it, who's tired of it." Xing'an was furious, as one of the three giants among all the eunuchs in the entire Ming Dynasty, as the governor of Dongchang, when he walked there, the governor had to go out for thirty miles, and someone dared to block his ship and prevent him from entering the dock. Xing'an has the heart to kill.

Xing'an hadn't shown the sign yet, and when he heard that this was the ship of the Guangdong Dusi, a military attache from Zheng Sanpin immediately came to the ship.

"It's not that it's not released, it's that the dock is blocked. They are all their own brothers, and they dare to stand in the way of your ship. Liu Mingxuan is also a positive third product, and after hearing the reason of this Fujian Dusi, he whispered: "The governor of Dongchang is on the ship, and this time he is rewarded on behalf of Long Live." ”

Liu Mingxuan also didn't know many details of the capital.

The case of rebellion was not made public to the hundred officials, and Sun Yuanjun's princess gold book was not announced to the public.

Liu Mingxuan knows some fur, but he is not deep.

For outsiders, Liu Mingxuan naturally won't say much, only saying that Xing'an is on the boat.

"Xingdu is on the ship, this time it's just ......"

"It was just a temporary stop, and there was some seasickness. You need to stay on shore for a day, even if it only takes a boat into the dock. Or if it really doesn't work, send a small boat to bring people to the shore, and prepare a better house to keep people steady. Liu Mingxuan knew that the governor of the East Factory could not afford to offend.

Such a person will always be moody.

As he spoke. Jin Jie ran over: "General Liu, Xingdu saw that there were a lot of ships here in the warehouse, and he was interested in asking what was going on." It's also very good and the steps are not so floating. ”

"Then take our patrol boat to the dock first?"

"That's it!"

Xing'an is really interested, he has not seen it yet, a dock will be surrounded by countless large and small ships. There are hundreds of sea boats here, and there are thousands of boats in the inland waterways.

Finally, with his feet on the ground, Xing'an let out a long breath: "This is considered stable." ”

The general manager of the Fujian Metropolitan Division, an official equivalent to Deng Hailong, who held the post of deputy governor of the capital, received the report and stayed there. This is not a Han Chinese, but a member of the She ethnic group in Fujian, but a hard-working nation. Most of his position is based on real skills, and less is to appease the ethnic minorities here.

This person's surname is Blue.

Lan Yu, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, is a member of the She ethnic group.

"Xingdu. The end of the blue ocean. The current governor of the right capital of Fujian Metropolitan Division, I don't know that Xingdu is visiting, and I am far away to welcome Xingdu to punish the crime! "This one speaks to condemn, not to see.

These words were comfortable to listen to in Xing'an's ears, and he smiled and waved his hand: "The miscellaneous family is just an old slave next to Banzai, this time I went to Guangdong to see the little boy Bai Minghe for Banzai, and I also comforted him by the way." This passed through Fuzhou, and by the way, got off the boat to take a look. But I don't know why this pier is so crowded. ”

Fuzhou Wharf is not a small wharf. This is the wharf used by the eunuchs of the Three Treasures to go to the West.

Such a large dock is so crowded that not even a single boat can be squeezed in, so you can see how many boats there are.

"Xingdu, Lord Bai is not in Guangdong now. At this time, he should be in Little Luzon, and the ships at this pier are coming and going with Little Luzon. Twenty boats a day, the boats stop and people don't stop. Constant unloading and reloading. More often than not, they were loaded with water and food, and the empty ship went to Little Luzon. Blue Ocean explained to Xing'an.

In fact, this is the first time that Bai Minghe has spoken harshly to the Fujian businessmen. It's only been less than a month.

There are thousands of large and small businesses in Fujian, and there is no one who does not want to stick to this business.

"This thing, is it good?" Xing'an asked someone to bring a coconut fruit.

"Please move in, there is a yamen here that has been specially set up for maritime affairs. It's just that my family can't come to greet me, and at this time, the three divisions are discussing the management and distribution of the business market, and several adults haven't come out for two days and two nights. ”

What Lan Hai said was true, and Xing'an knew the doorway.

It's not about management, it's about how to distribute the benefits. This prosperity alone represents huge profits. The chief secretary has to consider the taxes they are responsible for, and the capital secretary has to raise troops and repair ships. The Judge is responsible for the previous interest disputes of the firm, as well as incidents such as vicious competition.

So you can't work in vain, and it's not good to work hard.

When I entered the so-called yamen, it was actually a big mansion, and then it was divided into several pieces.

The first sign at the door reads "The Mandate of Heaven Personally Grants the First Courtyard." Dozens of merchants outside the door, each sitting on a bench waited silently, and there was no communication with each other, without exception, they all lowered their heads, and sometimes looked up at the door.

It just so happened that a man dressed in the uniform of a steward eunuch came out, holding a piece of paper and reading: "Fuzhou Wu's firm, the third class, retreat!" With that, the man behind him put a box and a stamped paper on the box. The representative of the firm cried and threw himself on the ground: "Please give the trumpet another chance, give the trumpet another chance." ”

At that moment, another old man came out: "Drive out." The old man had another wooden sign on his chest that read Fujian Merchant Gang.

The representative of the firm went crazy and took out a burden from behind his back: "We, our firm still has this!" ”

A mat, I can't tell what material it is.

The old man glanced at it, his eyes narrowed, and then he turned around and saluted: "Old man and cheeky face, please take a look at the head of the courtyard again, but this thing is good, maybe it can be rated as a second-class, and it is enough for the minimum standard of Lord Bai's procurement." ”

Xing'an walked over, with only one look, and the little eunuch beside him stretched out and took the mat in his hand and held it in front of Xing'an.

Just now, there were some imposing stewards and eunuchs Po Tong knelt down: "Say hello to Gonggong Xing, and greet General Lan." Xing'an just nodded slightly, and Jin Jie next to him explained: "Uncle Xing, the head of this industry is composed of the best people in various industries, and they are responsible for identifying the grade of goods and formulating appraisal standards. ”

"Not bad!" Hung Yen naturally has to be dignified in front of outsiders.

Jin Jie also said: "The first class can be tribute, the second class can be used for the army, and the third class can be bought and sold by the people." The lower third class will not enter the stream, and such things are simply not allowed. ”

Xing'an flipped through the mat: "Find someone who knows how to take a look." "Xing'an is really optimistic about this palm mat.

In fact, in Xing'an, this mat is already excellent, not worse than what he has seen in the palace, whether it is the feel or the hardness of pressing, the elasticity is very good.

But since there are professional people watching here, Xing'an will not hinder these people.

The businessman gratefully kowtowed to Xing'an, although he didn't know Xing'an, he might always be grateful for helping himself speak.

If it was determined whether an outsider was qualified to see it, because Xing'an wanted to see it, the merchant was also allowed to enter.

A large stone is continuously smashed on the mat, and then someone pours water on another piece to calculate the permeability. Ten small mats are being tested in different ways, and there are special people who keep track of them. The merchant was constantly wiping his sweat.

Xing'an casually asked, "Is this business good?" ”

"Your Excellency, you don't know, there is a saying in Fuzhou City. Being able to take away a piece of second-class paper from the house is equivalent to having 10,000 acres of fertile land at home. Fuzhou Dongcheng Fuji Oil Mill took a first-class coconut oil review, and gave him one hundred taels of gold on the spot, asking him to expand the workshop and recruit workers. And the coconut fruit on the dock, he has the priority right of three ships to pick up the goods. There are 5,000 barrels of coconut oil every year, and as long as the color is good, there is no upper limit. ”

Xing'an sounded funny, but didn't continue to ask.

The merchant may have been grateful for Xing'an, and said a little more.

"My lord, I only said that he had 5,000 barrels of coconut oil a year, and if he did a good job, he would be rewarded by the guild. His first-class product, the price of each barrel increased by one percent, which is thirty-three taels of silver. After paying taxes on one tael or three taels of silver, his profit will not be less than ten taels of silver, which is a net income of 50,000 taels a year, not to mention the income of 10,000 acres of fertile land. ”

Xing'an nodded slightly, as far as ordinary people are concerned, an income of 50,000 taels is already a very wealthy family.

Is there so much benefit, Xing'an has no interest in calculating.

But people die for money, just looking at the expectant eyes of these people outside, Xing'an knows what a piece of paper here represents.

If you want to say that the profit is great, the real profit is still in the Fujian Dusi Naval Army, they have a boatload of coconuts, pull over and directly increase the price by ten times, there are countless businesses waiting to be asked here.

The actual cost of a boatload of coconuts is thirty taels of silver. As for the cold-pressed part of the oil, twenty coconuts can produce one pound of oil, and a barrel of oil needs about 240 pounds of oil, so it needs 4,800 coconuts. A shipload of cold-pressed coconuts can produce five or six barrels of oil.

After cold pressing, the coconut meat is not finished, chopped and then cooked, and more than a pound of oil can be produced in the original way, but this oil is not needed by the white crane, as long as the cold-pressed high-purity coconut oil, otherwise it will not open a high price of thirty taels and one barrels.

Therefore, a boatload of coconuts is three hundred taels of silver, and the merchants on the dock are naturally rushing to ask for it.

The high-grade cold-pressed coconut oil is already a huge profit for the company. The boiled hot coconut oil can be transported to various places to sell, which is also beneficial in itself.

And the coconut shell is like this one, making a mat, which can also earn a lot of money.

At present, the price offered by the oil mill is that you send someone to take the brown shell on the outside of the coconut, then the shell will belong to the shell person, which saves labor and disposes of garbage.

There are also some businesses that are researching large quantities of coconut water and how to make foods that can be stored for a long time. (To be continued......)
