Section 499 Da Nang Border City
The White Crane didn't know anything, because the Ming Emperor asked not to let him know, at least until the Empress Oliviale appeared in front of him, he didn't need to know anything. [][][]
Emperor Daming also issued an imperial decree, asking Dongchang to report on Bai Minghe's reaction after hearing this unexpected holy decree.
At this time, the white crane was sitting in the main hall of the gorgeous mansion under Haiyun Peak.
The scenery here is good, this big house was built by Hui merchants, the original plan was to give the merchants of Hui merchants a place to recuperate here, but it has not been used since it was built, the eyes of the merchants are silver, there are countless business opportunities here, there is time to recuperate here.
Even if you are sick and do not fall, you must work hard to earn enough money.
The Governor of Hue Province, of course, is not the same as before. No one knows what the result was, but now the two daughters of the former governor are still taking good care of them in Guangdong, and they are not being bullied, but they are under house arrest.
The governor knelt down when he saw the white crane.
Yili Bai Minghe is the royal prince of the Ming Dynasty and occupies a high position. A small governor of Hue Province in Annam, Annam is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in name, although they are unwilling, but the name of the subject country is still there.
Therefore, kneeling is mandatory.
"Open a border market, open it. This official will not pursue your attack on Haiyun Peak, this is Haiyun Peak in Nanzhang, whether you are ambitious or want to expand your territory. Even if it is to attack Nanzhang, as long as the reason is right, this official will not care. It's just that this Haiyun Peak and Da Nang Wharf are borrowed by the official, and there are my Ming businessmen here, and hurting a person is not what the official wants to see, so what do you want to do, just take a detour. ”
Sanson sat on the sidelines, but he didn't hear this.
Make a detour. You think it's easy to wind.
Go to the sea, the sea is controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the north is an important bay of the Ming Dynasty. If Annan dares to launch a boat, Daming will dare to return a pile of wood chips to you. As for Nanzhang, Annan did not dare, their forces were not enough to resist the combined forces of Nanzhang and Siam. To go to war is to bring about your own death.
Annan's real goal was the Champa state.
But there is Da Nang in the way, and the only way is Hai Van Peak. To the west is an important defense area of the southern state, and to the east is the sea. There is also a mountain path on the border between Nanzhang and Champ, you have no problem walking on one or two hundred people, but it is difficult to pass a thousand people, so the only way is Haiyun Peak.
Helpless, real helplessness.
Annan has been plotting for a long time, just to occupy the chaotic city, and it is easy to get the land.
There is an area of land. Annan is equivalent to the sea in the true sense. The sea in the north is under the control of Daming Qiongzhou Wei and Qinzhou Wei, and they dare not go into the water, nor do they dare to start a war against Daming now.
"The order of the envoy of the Emperor is to open the border city and allow me to exchange some materials for Annan."
"Well, this Da Nang is currently jointly managed by Nanzhang and Daming, and this official will send merchants to trade with you, and six cities a year are allowed. It's once every two months. If you want to exchange something, you can open the market directly. It is also okay to take samples to negotiate contracts and then transport goods, and the contracts here in Da Nang are protected by the Ming Law, as long as there are them on the market, there is no limit. ”
"And the steel that is traded here in Da Nang?"
"Of course! As long as you have enough goods to trade, I believe that merchants are still willing to trade, as long as they are fair and honest. A qiē is not a problem. Shira-naka gave a very positive answer.
The Governor of Hue Province got the answer and agreed to come back in three days, bringing enough samples.
After the governor of Hue Province left, Sang Song said to Bai Minghe: "Bai Gongzi, this person from our side has seen him. It should be surnamed Ruan, a person in the palace, and his status should not be low. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's low or not, but I heard that you have already divided it."
Sang Song laughed twice: "Bai Gongzi doesn't dare to tell lies in front of him, I will go south to Nha Trang, and further south is the Khmer country." There is no queen of the king of Zhancheng, and it itself is a chaotic place, Nanzhang has become rich in recent years, and the people are also rich. The women of Champa are proud to marry me in Nanzhang, and there will be no war here. ”
Bai Minghe nodded, annexed peacefully, and estimated that those nobles who occupied the city were almost dead.
In any case, the occupation of land must not be occupied by Annanguo, and this point cannot be allowed by the white crane under any circumstances.
Annam's current territory is the original Qin and Han dynasties. Champa is the later generations of Nanyue and other places, so the white crane will not give Nan'an a chance to go south, and the nobles of Annam have only one ending.
For three days, Daming's huge fleet continued to assemble, from Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Chaozhou, Guangzhou, ......, Daming but wherever there was a seaport and wharf were desperately loaded with goods, Daming's merchants already had a kind of blind self-confidence, not to mention following the white crane to sea.
Even if you follow the white crane into the desert, the desert of death without people, all the goods you bring can be exchanged for gold and pulled back.
Not to mention Daming here, even Manila is also loading. Even Da Nang secretly loaded a lot of spices into the cargo ship, Bai Minghe didn't care about the port at all, even if he arrived at the port, he would only think that this was a cargo loaded for a certain port in Daming.
The soldiers are saying goodbye to their families, and their final assembly place will be the waters between the Xisha and Nansha Islands in the Daming South Sea. You must know that so many ships can occupy 100 square kilometers of the sea when they are placed on the sea.
There are more than 2,000 ships, and looking at the world of this era, there is no tonnage of such scale in the whole of Europe.
And that's not all there is to the Ming Dynasty.
Three days later, the Sagara Dragon King entered the port of Manila and was equipped with heavy agricultural artillery, an incendiary ejection winch, a fire crow catapult frame, and a Byzantine fire oil slingshot. Hua Mei's tasks in the South China Sea were all transferred to Mo Long, who was directly responsible to Deng Hailong, temporarily stopping Mo Long's small action of revenge.
A qiē focuses on the overall situation, and Mo Long can still distinguish the weight.
This is the largest layout of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't, and he doesn't dare to affect the strategic layout of the Ming Dynasty because of one person. Guarding Temasek Port, the gate of the South Seas, Mo Long is a great achievement.
On this day, the governor of Annan, Nguyen, came again, but his self-reported surname was Yuan, not Nguyen.
Samples of the goods were put up.
Annan used to belong to the Ming Dynasty, and their products have the style of the Ming Dynasty, and of course they are also influenced by the technology of the Ming Dynasty. Annan brought wooden farm tools, textiles, shoes, tea, and porcelain this time.
The merchants were silent, and half of these merchants were merchants under the name of the nobles of Nanzhang, and half of them were small merchants on the side of the Ming Dynasty.
For these goods in Annan, Daming has all of them, so the merchants of Daming are just drinking tea silently, and he knows that he has run away in vain.
The merchants of Nanzhang were silent, for nothing else, because in their eyes, could they make money from these shabby transactions?
One of the merchants picked up a porcelain bowl and knocked it gently, it was obviously too much, the surface treatment was very poor, this thing is indeed too much to call a pottery bowl, but it is really a joke to call it porcelain.
The Nanzhang merchants, who are accustomed to the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the porcelain ordered from Goryeo and also defined as the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, do not think that this kind of inferior goods can be exchanged for much benefit for them to be transported to China, because the cost of transportation is not low.
"In terms of weight, this eight-stone rice for one stone may be somewhat advantageous. I don't want it, you who are interested can accept the exchange. The merchant who looked at the bowl retreated.
He won't change it, the lowest interest in Daming's porcelain is also sixty percent, and the sixty percent base is also large.
This thing is three times the profit, and it can't withstand the sixty percent profit, which is too bad.
It's not enough to sell it to poor mountainous areas, and it's not worth it to exchange it for two catties of rice and a bowl.
No merchant came forward, and the cloth was linen, but it was too coarse. Nanzhang is not poor in the mountainous area, you must know that the most in the mountainous area is spices, flowers, and wood. They relied on these to exchange for beautiful fine white linen from the Ming Dynasty, especially in the mountainous areas where the so-called wild grasses could be exchanged for the materials of the Ming Dynasty, and they had already become rich.
Spices, dyes, herbs. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty have slowly said that this market has become mature.
Not only do there be stable acquisition channels, but some mountain villages have also begun to know how to plant some high-value seedlings that can only be harvested wild, that is, only mature seedlings are harvested, and those seedlings that cannot be sold at a high price are not harvested.
Does it make sense to go back with this burlap cloth that is the same as the sack used for groceries in the Ming Dynasty?
The merchants shook their heads and began to leave, there was nothing worth exchanging here. Annam is rice, but it can't compare to Siam, and sugar is not as good as the Khmer area, hemp heard that the hemp of Little Luzon is the best, and the wood, the wood of the family here is not worse than your Annan.
"You should go to the streets of Da Nang, and next time you bring goods, pick something useful!"
A businessman from Nanzhang kindly persuaded him.
Governor Nguyen didn't understand, but the other party had already given an explanation. After taking his cronies to the Da Ming and Nam Trung joint trade zone in Da Nang, followed by the soldiers of Nam Zhang, Governor Nguyen was desperate in his heart, they could not participate in this trade at all, and their goods were of no value at all.
The cost of their cloth was calculated in silver, and a load was about forty-seven taels of silver.
And the fine white linen cloth of the Ming Dynasty is a hundred times better than theirs, and here it is three hundred and eighty stone meters for one load. It is much more expensive than them in Annam, but the rice in Nanzhang is not valuable, the yield here is more than twice that of Annam, and a large area of rice can grow without being taken care of by sowing seeds.
The cost of Annan was forty-seven taels of silver, and if there was not double the shipping price, they would have lost it if it was transported.
What's more, the merchants also need to pay a tax to Annan, so it costs 130 taels to sell it for silver, which is a joke here. The cloth here in Daming can be said to be cheaper than them, even if according to intelligence, it is more than twice as high as inside Daming, and it is also cheaper. (To be continued!)
