There were no twists and turns in the process of trading, and for Kim Yongtai and his family, it was the happiest thing for them to sell the goods in their hands earlier.

What's more, although it was not as much as expected, it was less than a thousand taels of silver. But the final transaction price still made Kim Yongtai very satisfied.

After all, if the goods in his hands were to be sold by Daming, he would have to earn at least two thousand taels of silver less. Therefore, King Charles gave the price of 11,500 taels of silver, and although Jin Yongtai didn't say anything, he was actually very satisfied in his heart.

Who made him not so well-informed, and he didn't even know what to say about the change of owner here in Kyushu.

Originally, he planned to do business with the Japanese people, but when he came to Nagasaki, he suddenly found that Kyushu had been ceded by the Japanese people, and the new owner became a member of the Song Empire.

Then he can't come in vain, you must know that the cost of hiring ships in Ludo is not small, and at the same time, he has to bear some risks at sea from Goryeo to Nagasaki, Kyushu.

The Oriental Sea in this era is not so calm, although there are predators like Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, but there are also some pirates who fight in private.

In case he met such a guy on the road, Kim Yong-tae would have been too late to cry.

But the problem is that in order to make money, you can't always look ahead and backward, otherwise it is better to stay at home honestly and come out to do something.

But at least, this shipment must be profitable, or else I am sorry for the risk I am taking.

It was also under the support of such an idea that Jin Yongtai took Zhao Zhenchang to abandon the Ming Dynasty and came to Nagasaki in Kyushu.

You must know that if you go to Daming, at least the risk will be reduced by about half.

However, taking some risks and being able to earn an extra two thousand taels of silver, this is still worth it in Kim Yongtai's opinion.

Who made the purchasing power of silver in this era very strong.

King Charles paid very happily, 11,000 pieces of one or two heavy dragons. It was packed in two large heavy wooden crates and moved to Kim Yong-tae's merchant ship.

King Charles looked at the Goryeo merchant ship that was somewhat similar to the Ming-style building ship, but it was much smaller than the one that was much smaller.

Kim Yong-tae went in to count the two amounts of silver, and he himself chatted with King Charles here at the docks. Because when I came back in the morning, I invited a doctor to come and use ointment, so now Kim Yongtai's lower body pain has been relieved a lot, and it is no longer as uncomfortable as in the morning.

Therefore, King Charlie was obviously much more relaxed when he saw Kim Yong-tae's face than when he saw it in the morning.

"In the future, if you have such goods, you will send them directly to Nagasaki, and the price will be very negotiable." King Charles said to Kim Yong-tae.

And when Kim Yong-tae heard King Charles say this, of course he was happy in his heart. "Thank you, I hope our cooperation can be long-lasting, and I also hope to make this business longer. Although it is much more convenient to go from Goryeo, the merchants of Daming are too ruthless in lowering prices, and they often lower prices through the government and all the merchants together, so of course I hope to come to Nagasaki, who doesn't want to make more money. ”

When King Charles finished speaking, Kim Yong-tae said a lot.

And King Charles heard a lot of useful information from Kim Yong-tae's words. That is, the price of selling goods to Nagasaki is higher than that of trafficking to Daming, but this news is of little use to King Charles.

The empire now occupies Kyushu, and Kyushu borders the Wakoku Honshu and Shikoku, so it can be said that the imperial goods on the Kyushu side of the country are advantageous. Whether it is from the surface or smuggling, it can be easily trafficked over there to make huge profits.

Therefore, the news revealed in Kim Yongtai's words is really useless.

The second. There is another layer of information in Kim Yongtai's words, that is, if foreigners go there to do business, there is a great possibility that they will be squeezed by businessmen with deep local backgrounds. Those businessmen who basically have a background in the imperial court as a backer, and even have someone as an official in their family, will collude with the government and other peers to eat the goods of foreign businessmen, and will also keep the price extremely low.

In other words, it was not easy for foreign merchants to do business within the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty in this era.

After guessing such a fact, King Charles sighed in his heart.

In his impression, in the world before him, countless foreign businessmen liked to do business, because the system of the Celestial Empire was too advantageous for foreign businessmen.

On the contrary, local merchants will be forced by foreign businessmen to do it very hard.

Comparing the two, King Charles feels that the businessmen of this era are still happy.

Of course, when King Charles said that these happy merchants were referring to the merchants of the Ming Empire.

Because only in this era, the merchants of the Celestial Empire can suppress the foreign merchants and make them miserable.

In the modern world, this is a completely unimaginable thing.

In this era, there is no such thing as a foreign master.

For the Ming people of this era, only themselves are the best13, and everyone else is a barbarian...... This situation lasted until the Opium War, and the Celestial Empire began to change.

I really envy them, but since we have followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to this world, then the matter of squeezing these turtles is still left to us.

King Charles thought to himself in his heart, but his face showed a look of some surprise and looked at Jin Yongtai and said, "Oh, will the merchants over there use this kind of trick?" And I heard that the Ming Dynasty went to the country, but it was a state of etiquette? Besides, our ancestors used to live in this land, and my father once said that the people here are very knowledgeable about etiquette, so they shouldn't do such a thing, right? ”

King Charlie is obviously pretending to be garlic, but he doesn't understand anything in his heart.

In fact, he was very clear about the way the Ming Dynasty people looked at the foreign races in the surrounding countries in this era.

It's just that in front of Kim Yongtai, he is just pretending to be confused.

Seeing King Charles ask about this, Kim Yongtai complained.

Anyway, now that his goods have been sold, a piece of heart disease has landed, so Kim Yongtai is still in a good mood.

Especially after some contact with King Charles, he also felt that King Charles could ...... Not bad.

Therefore, Jin Yongtai said to King Charlie: "Those people in the Ming Empire always think that they are the people of the Heavenly Empire, so they have always looked down on these people from our neighboring countries from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that they don't say it, but who of us doesn't know the truth......"

Nonsense, just with your sticks, you still want the people of the Ming Empire to look up to you?

You don't have anything to handle, and even if you are invaded by the Japanese, you have to rely on the Ming Dynasty to keep your own territory, so how can you make people look down on you.

Don't say it's the people on Daming's side, even Lao Tzu looks down on you.

Listening to Kim Yong-tae's complaints, King Charles also despised him in his heart.

It's just that the expression on King Charlie's face matches very well, so Kim Yongtai doesn't know that the guy standing in front of him actually belongs to the kind of people who look down on them.

"You don't know what to do, we Goryeo merchants went to the Ming Dynasty and were treated very unfairly. Their local merchants have a very wide network, and if they take a fancy to our goods, they will collude with the government and other merchants to squeeze us. ”

When Kim Yong-tae talked about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, a look of love and hate appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that we have no power over there, and we can't compete with them at all. Normally, we can only knock out our front teeth and swallow them in our stomachs to endure this breath, otherwise what else can we do. ”

Sigh!

Kim Yong-tae is really embarrassed now.

"However, although we small merchants have lost money, we in Korea have been able to take a big advantage. So when we think about it this way, our hearts are much more comfortable. Kim Yong-tae's words made King Charles very curious.

He didn't know what Kim Yong-tae meant by this?

According to him, this is a definite loss.

However, how could Goryeo still take advantage? It's really hard to figure out.

Therefore, King Charles couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" , King Charles asked with a curious expression.

King Charlie's curious appearance satisfies Kim Yong-tae's little vanity.

"Hehe, this matter is actually very simple, the Ming Dynasty regards itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and it is very face-loving. That's why our monarch sends envoys every year to pay tribute, bringing many, many gifts. So we're taking advantage of it. ”

Kim Yong-tae's words made King Charles even more confused.

I rub!

That's an advantage, isn't it?

Is this guy's brain in water, how is it possible?

King Charles couldn't figure it out, so he had to wait for Kim Yong-tae to continue explaining.

The reason is actually very simple, because the Ming Dynasty regarded itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, while China regarded itself as an overseas vassal. Therefore, every time the tribute is brought, the Ming Dynasty will return it twice as much for the sake of face, and my country will earn it between this coming and going. ”

When Kim Yong-tae talked about this, he had a very proud look on his face, as if he had taken advantage.

I'm going!

Sure enough, he died to save face and suffer the crime, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a strange thing in the Ming Dynasty.

This is also on the side of the Ming Dynasty, if it is placed on the side of our Song Empire, we will not return the gift you brought twice, only the brain-dead would do such a thing.

The corners of King Charles' mouth twitched, and he felt that the brains of those people in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be mentally retarded as if they had been squeezed by the door...... (To be continued......)
