Chapter 109: Return
On the shore of the East China Sea, five cargo ships were moored at the wharf, and a piece of rare goods from the Central Plains were carried down from the cargo ships, and Han Zhong of the China Trading House led the accounting gentlemen of the trading house to classify and count, rigorous and careful, the accounting office of the Guan Trading House was on the side for the second inventory, and dozens of carriages of the Guan Trading House had gathered on the shore, just to be counted and recorded, these goods could be loaded and transported out of Donghai County, and sold to the four countries of the Central Plains through the way of the Guan Trading Company.
Blackbeard shouted hard, looking very excited, and he was working very hard, and every pirate on the ship was full of smiles, and the journey of more than two months finally came to a successful end.
Han Mo and Guan Shaohe were standing on the big rock, listening to Kou Zheng's report on the process of the trip.
"Fifth Young Master, we arrived at the six countries of Nanyang this time, and the journey was also smooth, after two tsunamis, fortunately, the brothers at sea are experienced and have avoided it." Kou Zheng also seemed quite excited: "They know that we are merchants from the Central Plains, and when they bring them goods, they all welcome us warmly. Our goods are in short supply, but in order to better investigate the countries, I have studied with the owner of Du Island and Blackbeard, and I feel that the goods cannot be sold in one country, and we must compare the environmental conditions and property values of each country, so there are restrictions on the goods sold in each country, so I divided the goods brought this time into six parts and visited six countries. These goods can be sold at a minimum price of several times the price there, and some can even sell for more than ten times, especially silk, where they can be sold for fifteen times the price. We used that money to purchase very valuable goods from six countries, a total of sixty-three varieties, and the fifth young master can count them. ”
Han Mo and Guan Shaohe looked at each other and smiled, both showing a look of relief.
"It's all right." Han Mo smiled, frowned again and asked, "By the way, why didn't Miss Du come back?" I'm missing more than 20 people this time, huh? ”
Kou Zheng hurriedly said, "Fifth Young Master, don't worry. Speaking of which, this trip to Nanyang still made some waves, but fortunately, there was no danger and was resolved by Miss Du. ”
"Oh?" Han Mo and Guan Shaohe both looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Kou Zheng replied: "Among the six countries, there is a small country called Jusang in the east, our cargo ship arrived at their port, at first they were still warmly received, and it was their foreign minister who came forward to receive them, what is the name of Dao Yexing, a very awkward name. ”
"In the wilderness, the people outside the world, the name is naturally not on the table." Guan Shaohe smiled and said, "Could it be that the wild star is causing you trouble?" ”
"Exactly." Kou Zheng sighed: "When that wild star saw our goods, they immediately regarded them as treasures and wanted to swallow them privately. On that day, he arrested our two sea brothers, saying that these two brothers were strange and had bad intentions, and that we only had a trade letter from the Han family, and we did not have a letter of state from the Yan country, so our caravan must have been tired, and slandered us that the trade letter was forged, and immediately sent troops to control our ship. Blackbeard was supposed to lead the group to fight with them, but was dissuaded by the Lord of Du, and we were taken to a place to be temporarily detained. ”
Although Han Mo knew that he would be fine, he still couldn't help but say, "Then how do you get out?" That wild star is really arrogant. ”
"We can turn the danger into a disaster, then it's really a loss to Miss Du." Kou Zheng said with admiration: "That night, Miss Du led the four brothers sent by the young master to the Lord of Du Island, and sneaked into Dao Yexing's mansion late at night...... Fifth Young Master, that Jusang Country is a small country, although the official position of that wild star is not low in Jusang Country, but compared with our Central Plains, the mansion is too much worse, and it is not even comparable to the mansion of our ordinary big families in the Central Plains. That night, Miss Du led four brothers to sneak into the mansion of Dono Xing, and actually caught Daono Xing alive, and this time the matter became a big problem, Miss Du forced Daono Xing to send someone to inform their lord, and Daono Xing was forced to have no choice but to let people report the news of the arrival of the Central Plains cargo ship in Kikusang to their lord King Fujiwara. ”
"Then King Fujiwara must be a Ming Jun, otherwise you wouldn't be out of trouble." Guan Shaohe smiled.
Kou Zheng shook his head and said, "No, no." The king of Fujiwara is actually a faint king who only knows how to have fun and spends his days drinking, but he doesn't harm the people, he just indulges in wine. ”
Han Moqi said: "Then how was this matter resolved?" ”
"When King Fujiwara saw that his foreign minister had been arrested, he was very angry and wanted to send someone to beat us all into the dungeon, but at this time, a Yoshito appeared and resolved the crisis. The king of Fujiwara had a queen, who was well-read, knowledgeable, and beautiful, and she knew about it, and even if she dissuaded the king of Fujiwara, she should not come nonsense. The queen said that my Central Plains Yan Kingdom is a big country, and the Han family is a great family in the Yan Kingdom, if it is really the fleet sent by the Han family, it must not be offended. Moreover, she also said that since my Han family sent people across the ocean to Nanyang with a large amount of goods, it is absolutely impossible for them to have any sinister intentions, but they just want the two countries to communicate with each other. Kou Zheng exclaimed: "That queen is really a great woman, and the lord of that country is obviously very fond of the queen, and immediately sent someone to investigate in detail, and determined that we are a cargo ship sent by the Yan country, and the lord of Du Island immediately sent several big gifts, the king of Fujiwara was very happy to see the gifts, and immediately let us all go, and allowed the caravan to trade in the country of Jusang." As for the Minister of Foreign Trade, Dao Yexing, because he was found to have framed the caravan, was greedy and unjust, and damaged the national prestige, he was dismissed from his official position and went home to become a fisherman! ”
Han Mo clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, good, interesting woman, if there is a chance in the future, Brother Guan, we have to go and meet that beautiful queen!" ”
Guan Shaohe laughed and said, "I hope so." ”
"Fifth Young Master, the matter is not over yet." Kou Zheng said with a smile: "The queen even invited us to the palace and set up a banquet, which was very enthusiastic. Moreover, she proposed that a business could be set up in the country of Jusang, so that their people could trade with us for a long time and trade through the business name, which would be more formal and could better deepen the trade relations between the two sides. ”
Guan Shaohe immediately praised: "Good idea, good idea!" ”
Although Han Mo didn't know much about business, he understood that if he set up a business with the support of a different royal family, it would only be beneficial and harmless, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "I'm more curious about that beautiful queen now." ”
So after discussion, Miss Du stayed in Jusang Country to deal with the affairs of preparing for the establishment of the business. Moreover, this matter was known to several other countries, and they all asked to establish a business in their country, and everyone discussed it, leaving some people in the six countries to prepare for the establishment of a business name for the time being. In the future, we can go to the past, the goods can be directly distributed to the merchants, and the merchants can also collect the goods purchased by various countries and hand them directly to the cargo ships to transport back, which can reduce unnecessary waste of time, and there are local merchants, we can better understand the local needs and the value of the goods, which is very helpful to us. Kou Zheng said this, his face showed excitement without leisurely.
Maybe even he couldn't have imagined that the trip to Nanyang would have such a rich harvest, which is really exciting.
"In that case, this second batch of merchants will send more merchants to sit in the business." Han Mo smiled, he was in a very good mood now, this thing that he thought was very difficult, was actually done by himself, it is not a miracle.
Kou Zheng presented the list, Han Mo pointed at Guan Shaohe, and said with a smile: "Uncle Kou, this time I really thank you for your hard work." ”
Kou Zheng hurriedly said: "Where does the young master say, it is a great honor for Kou Zheng to be able to do things for the fifth young master." Don't hide it from the fifth young master, at the beginning of this maritime trade, I was still a little worried, and I was afraid that those barbarian foreign countries would not be able to understand the world, and I was worried that our goods would not be able to go out, but now it seems that Kou is just fooling this heart, we love their goods, and they love our goods even more. Speaking of which, although the etiquette of those outsiders is vulgar, they are all very enthusiastic, except for the incident of Dao Ye Xing, the others can be described as smooth sailing. ”
Guan Shaohe took the list and looked at it carefully, it listed the names, quantities and purchase prices of more than sixty kinds of goods over there, Han Mo gave this foundation to himself, that is really treating himself as a partner.
"Fifth young master, when will we be able to go to sea for the next batch of goods." Kou Zheng asked cautiously: "In addition to those six countries, there are still more than a dozen countries in Nanyang, and the second batch of goods is indispensable." ”
Han Mo looked at Guan Shaohe with a smile and said, "Brother Guan, in your opinion, how long will the brothers wait?" ”
"Two months!" Guan Shaohe immediately said: "Give me two months, and the goods will be doubled this time." ”
"Good!" Han Mo nodded, and immediately said to Kou Zheng: "Uncle Kou, when the goods are counted and loaded and shipped away, you go and pack the Bazhen Pavilion down, and let the brothers go to the restaurant tonight to have a good drink." ”
Kou Zheng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" ”
He knew that Han Mo still had something to say to Guan Shaohe, so he bowed down and retreated.
……
"Fifth Young Master, this batch of goods is more than I expected." Guan Shaohe sighed: "According to my preliminary estimate, after the goods on hand are sold, excluding the cost, the minimum profit should be about 250,000 taels." ”
Han Mo smiled: "How many percent are you going to take?" ”
"I'm a businessman, and I do business to make money." Guan Shaohe said very frankly: "Although the trade at sea is controlled by the Fifth Young Master, but in the Central Plains, if the Fifth Young Master wants to turn these goods into silver, he must rely on the way of our Guan Clan's trading house. Moreover, if we want to purchase the goods of the four countries in the Central Plains, we must also rely on the way of our Guan trading house. ”
"I understand!" Han Mo nodded, with a gentle smile on his face: "I think you should know that thirty percent of the silver will be assigned to the name of the people on the sea." This is their life money, and every time a cargo ship goes to sea, it needs to be repaired, and they need this silver. ”
"This is what they deserve." Guan Shaohe looked at the group of people at sea who were happily carrying goods, nodded slightly, and said: "There are seventy percent left, and I hope to get to thirty percent of them!" ”
"Okay, you take thirty percent." Han Mo said happily.
Guan Shaohe said with a smile: "The fifth young master is very happy. ”
"The union between you and me, without these interests, is not strong." Han Mo said calmly: "So everyone can earn money with silver, so that the relationship between you and me will be closer." ”
"I hope that sooner or later, we will become true friends." Guan Shaohe sighed.
"We're on our way to that day."
Guan Shaohe smiled and nodded, pointed to the goods that were carried to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Fifth Young Master, these goods are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and you just hand them over to me like this, so you don't have to worry about it?" ”
"I'm not worried." Han Mo smiled: "Just like I'm not worried that you will hide your true profits. ”
Guan Shaohe showed admiration and sighed: "Being able to cooperate with the Fifth Young Master is a blessing that Shaohe cultivated in his previous life. ”
"I won't say anything about what makes me hairy." Han Mo smiled, his expression immediately became solemn, and he said, "Brother Guan, there are two things for you to do. ”
"You say!"
"The first thing, to turn the goods into silver as soon as possible, I am not in a hurry to use the silver, but my friends at sea are in dire need of this silver. You see that their cargo ship, this voyage, is in a dilapidated state and needs to be overhauled. ”
Guan Shaohe immediately said: "Fifth Young Master, don't worry, I think this batch of goods is very tight, as soon as they are placed in shops in various countries, they can be turned into silver, and before the second batch of goods arrives, these goods will definitely be exchanged for silver." ”
Han Mo nodded, obviously satisfied with Guan Shaohe's reply, groaned slightly, and continued: "Second, I need you to help me buy a thousand war horses...... The war horses of the Wei State, as well as the divine arm bow of the Wei State that can shoot three hundred meters! ”
Guan Shaohe frowned and did not answer immediately.
The sound of the sea, the sound of people on the pier, and the laughter, but this big rock is very cold.
"Fifth Young Master, if you want Wei Ma to play, I can give you ten horses within five days!" Guan Shaohe finally said.
"Ten horses are too tasteless to play." Han Mo smiled and said, "I've always liked to play big. ”
"The Divine Arm Bow can be obtained." After a long time, Guan Shaohe said slowly: "But a thousand Wei war horses are too difficult. ”
"You have a way." Han Mo smiled and said, "To become true friends, you always have to give each other an extremely difficult help. ”
"Four hundred!" After pondering for a long time, Guan Shaohe stretched out four fingers.
Han Mo shook his head and insisted, "A thousand horses!" ”
"Six hundred!"
"Eight hundred!" Han Mo retreated two hundred.
"Okay." Guan Shaohe sighed and said with a wry smile: "Fifth Young Master, you are really embarrassed to kill me." Eight hundred Wei horses have to get from Wei to Donghai County, which is more difficult than you think. ”
"But you're stronger than I thought." Han Mo laughed, blinked his eyes, and asked softly: "But I'm curious, Wei and Qingguo are mortal enemies, how can you, Qingshang, say that the people of Wei will sell horses to you?" ”
"In this world, there are not many people who are not greedy for money." Guan Shaohedao: "The Wei country is barren, and it needs more silver. My way is paved with silver. ”
"A road paved with silver!" Han Mo gave a thumbs up: "I'm very envious of you now." ”
