Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Trade Route

So, several people came to the front of the treasury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although, Tang Biao has already classified these seizures. However, the seizure was too miscellaneous, so it was still a mess.

A lot of swords, pearls, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, coral, tattered equipment, strange weapons, etc., are all put together, and they are not separated at all.

This rich man has been immersed in this line for a long time, and after a little estimate, the approximate value of this batch of goods will be known. When black goods are sold, the market price is between 15-170,000 gold coins, and if you sell them yourself, 20-300,000 gold coins are possible.

However, this batch of goods is the value of Zhang Fu's several ships. Compared to Zhang Fu's worth of millions of gold coins, it is really nothing.

Zhang Fu promised that he could bring this batch of goods to the mainland and sell them at a fixed price, 2 billion.

Li Tang is naturally happy, anyway, for Li Tang, these things are a little more eye-catching than broken copper and iron, and there is nothing practical.

At present, Li Tang's generals are all rough people. Usually, you can give some money, goods, and beautiful women, but few people are good at those elegant swords and the like.

Therefore, Li Tang also pulled out a set of jewelry from these treasures and gave it to Ye Ju, and the others were never rewarded to others.

However, Li Tang was also very surprised that Zhang Fu was able to remain quiet and take out 60,000 gold coins.

Is maritime trade so lucrative? Zhang Fu just ran a boat, and came back with half a shipload of goods, and he was able to have 60,000 gold coins left.

It seems that maritime trade is a very lucrative industry!

Moreover, the piracy industry is also a very promising profession!

In fact, piracy is indeed a very lucrative industry. However, in general, pirates rob cargo ships, and all they get is goods, and the amount of cash is not very large.

This time, it was only because Zhang Fu sold the goods, but he didn't buy enough other goods, that he brought so much cash with him, which was an exception.

After the pirates get the goods, they are generally useless and can only sell them to others. It's just that the pirates themselves are wanted by the government and can't go to the mainland to sell, so they can only sell to some black-hearted local powerful families.

These powerful families, of course, have to do everything possible to lower the payment. It's good to get a 3 or 4 percent discount on the price, and sometimes even collude with the government to eat black.

70-80% of the profits from the pirate robbery are earned by them. In addition, the pirates also provided them with living materials and war materials. Naturally, on these materials, they will definitely be slaughtered again.

This Zhang Fu has been running a boat all his life, and basically does not carry a large amount of cash, but chooses to bring physical goods. Unexpectedly, a fluke was reported to the pirates, and he almost died at sea.

Imagine, Li Tang took a group of robbers' nests, and they didn't have 60,000 gold coins in cash. You can see how crazy it is to find so much cash on one ship!

Thinking that the tattered on his hands was about to be cleaned up, Li Tang couldn't be happier in his heart.

Everyone drank and carnivaled all night without mentioning it.

Early the next morning, Li Tang called Ye Hui and asked Ye Hui to follow Zhang Fu to the mainland. The first is to recover the payment, the second is to buy horses, the third is to open up trade routes, and the fourth is to exercise sailing skills.

Except for the six pirate ships, the ships that can sail far away are basically ships that sail near the sea and along the coast, and they are not adapted to the huge wind and waves at sea at all. It's not that you can't drive it, it's just that it's very dangerous.

Li Tang decided to let Ye Hui, Tsunami and others lead a flying tiger ship to follow and protect Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu also arranged for a naval general to command the ship, so that because of the nautical nature of the naval generals in Linhai Village, the speed of the ship was higher, and it was easier to avoid pirate hunting.

Ye Hui, the captain of the Tiger Shark, is equipped with more than 600 sailors of various stars.

The captain of the Great White Shark is a tsunami, and the first mate is equipped with more than 600 sailors of various stars.

Zhang Fushang was on board with Hua Qing as the captain, Zhang Meng as the first mate, and 200 sailors from various stars.

Actually, Li Tang didn't know that letting Zhang Fu and others go like this was tantamount to the failure of the system's plan to give them away, so Li Tang heard the system's prompt to compensate himself.

System Prompt:

You have rescued 1,356 Han people from pirates, and the Emperor has heard of your exploits and presented you with a blueprint for the construction of a high-level barracks. Your reputation is increased by 1000.

Hearing that the system still has rewards for himself, and it is a high-level barracks, Li Tang is simply happy.

I'm really sleepy and come to the pillow! I just happened to be worried that my shore strength was weak, and now I gave myself a blueprint for the construction of a high-level barracks, which is equivalent to giving myself 15 army generals!

Li Tang was happy and arranged for people to immediately build a high-level barracks, because there were no high-ranking army generals in hand, so he could only command a high-level naval force to preside over the construction of high-level barracks in the future. Fortunately, the construction of the barracks only requires the rank of military generals, and there is no certain distinction between land generals and water generals, otherwise, I will have to stare at it again!

Count yourself, now you are also a little tyrant! There are nearly 200,000 gold coins on his body, and there will be 200,000 gold coins soon, and there are still 5 or 60,000 gold coins in the village.

According to the time in the game, only 45 days have passed, and the real time is less than 5 days. 5 days, earn billions? No one believes it! But that's just the way it is! As for whether the game currency can be exchanged for soft sister currency, if Li Tang has not been offline, he will still be suspicious. However, Li Tang went offline to verify it.

"Oh my God, this world is crazy!"

Moreover, this is not all of his net worth, his net worth is also of immeasurable value in Linhai Village, so many highly qualified generals and soldiers. Li Tang even vaguely felt that the value of these generals and soldiers even exceeded the value of the gold coins in his hand.

What's more, his pets are estimated to be worth a lot.

and his Qiankun bracelet, now that someone pays 10 billion to buy it, he will definitely not sell it.

There are also battleships, I guess this thing is not easy to get with either.

It is estimated that the cheapest is his rarest Jiyun Martial Arts suit!

By the way, there is another treasure that is definitely worth it. That's the black iron village building order.

The last time the village was built, it was sold for 1.5 billion.

"The thing that built the village order must have begun to be valuable, and it should not be worth much later! It seems that this thing has to be sold early, and it is not worth much if it is late. ā€

"How much can you hang? Last time, it was 1.5 billion, and some people bought it. However, the last time it was not long after the service was launched, and you can take the lead when you buy it, so it will cause the price to be inflated. Now that the sale is so high, no one should be wronged! ā€

"However, in reality, it has only been a few days, and there should not be many village building orders now! Forget it, just hang the old price of 150,000 gold coins! If no one buys it, just adjust it yourself. ā€

As a result, when another village building order appeared in Qingtan Town, Zhangling County, the entire Greater China region, including the real world, was boiling.

Another piece of village construction order was sold, and it still appeared in Qingtan Town, Zhangling County.

The appearance of a piece can be said to be accidental. But the appearance of two pieces is very likely that some players know the simple way to build a village. There are three pieces, this is still a guess, it must be that the player knows the method of appearing.

All of a sudden, everyone began to look for the person who sold the village building order. But Li Tang didn't take the initiative to show up, where would those people be found?

Of course, there are many people who offer a reward of 1 billion yuan for clues to the village construction order.

There are also people who are solemnly condemning and abusing those who sell the order to build a village. It is believed that Li Tang should stand on the side of all human players, help players improve, and work together against the antigen residents. Such important information should be shared, not hidden.

Even, some people raised this kind of behavior to the height of the nation, and scolded Li Tang as a pig and a dog, a national scum, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they don't pull out to shoot targets.

In the end, even CCA-V began to denounce this act that disregarded the interests of the country and the nation.

After Li Tang found out, he regretted that his intestines were green, and he was not short of money, what did he do to poke this hornet's nest? Even the state began to condemn itself for this selfish behavior, saying that it could not secretly obtain a way to quickly obtain a village construction order.

Don't you all know the method of building a village? Attack the aboriginal village, 100% of the village construction order! That's what I did, don't people know? Are all fools?

Li Tang shook his head, forget it, I'll be more careful in the future. In the game, you must not reveal your real identity.

Don't say that you don't have a method, even if you know a special method and tell the country, it is estimated that it will not be long before the whole world knows about it.

In the eyes of those public servants who have green cards in their hands and their children are Americans, there is nothing in China that cannot be sold, because China is not their motherland, but just a place for them to get rich and vent their lust!

They are the best at using the so-called national righteousness and national feelings to incite those angry youths to sell their lives to them, so as to achieve their ulterior motives. It was done, and they hid behind and reaped the benefits; It doesn't matter if you are defeated, the dead, the wounded, the bitter, and the crying are all those hot-blooded angry youths.

From ancient times to the present day, these people abound.

For example, a Chinese-American, who did not even know the size of China's territory, after accepting the advantages of the sinister Japanese, went around inciting enthusiastic young people to fight against the bayonets of the Manchu Tartars, and exhausted the last backbone of China.

Most usefully, he also used the funding of the Soviets, who had wolf ambitions, to set up a military school. The Soviets had the same intentions as the Japanese, and their purpose was nothing more than to create chaos in China at that time, and not to pose a threat to their newly established fragile regime.

From then on, the nascent national regime, the Beiyang government, was in a mess.

China has just emerged as a powerful figure and there are signs of reunification. This American immediately jumped out to seize power, and wanted to be the president of China as a beauty, and in the end, he was able to get the reputation of the father of the country in a grand manner, which makes people worship to this day, and he is drunk when he thinks about it!

In the end, on the land of China, warlords fought for decades, and the whole of China almost fell apart.

Nima! The father of the Chinese nation is an American, and he recognizes a thief as his father! Let the Chinese people all over the world be embarrassed.

Later, a certain organization he formed was from an improper background, so he had to continue to pull his banner. In fact, compared to the warlords Yuan Gong and Duan Gong in his mouth, he is not even worthy of licking shoes.

Speaking of which, isn't the so-called international aid with their political purpose? There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason!

The author is not against accepting international aid, but it depends on whether this aid is beneficial or harmful to the country!

Every time you look back at that period of history, the aid of the Japanese and the Soviets is definitely a poison. And the assistance of the people of the United States is still beneficial to the country and the nation.

The foreign aid of the Celestial Empire in later generations was basically beneficial to other countries, but it was a pity that the people of the Celestial Empire suffered hardship. If your own family can't eat well, do you care if other family members are full or not? How much more about so-called international aid?

There are also a lot of indignant young people calling for not to buy this unconscionable village building order. However, since the second village building order in Japan and the third village building order in the United States, no one has counted how many village construction orders have been issued.

However, except for China, which has built 3 villages, no other country has built more than 3 villages, and some countries have not built a single village.

It seems that the village building order is still a scarce object, and each district only gets a few pieces, which is very demanding!

Although everyone was scolded, Li Tang's village building order still disappeared from the God of Wealth altar in Qingtan Town, Zhangling County. But obviously it wasn't the seller who took it back by himself, someone must have bought it, who bought it, anyway, who buys who knows!

For a time, tens of millions of players poured into Qingtan Town, Zhangling County, most of these players were rich and wealthy, and there was no pressure to sprinkle money, and many aborigines in Qingtan Town, Zhangling County made a lot of profits.

At this time, Li Tang estimated that Tang Hui left with Zhang Fu, and there were 6,000 nautical miles back and forth, at a normal speed of 30 knots, and a round trip would take about 12-15 days.

These days, Li Tang decided not to go out and concentrate on tidying up housekeeping at home.

Population: about 7,700 people

Generals: 41 people.

Senior generals: 8, intermediate generals: 16, junior generals: 17. Idle 1 king-level general.

Soldiers: 4,000 in total. Among them, 4 people are 9 stars, 3 people are 8 stars, 28 people are 7 stars, 53 people are 6 stars, 300 people are 5 stars, and 3600 people are 4 stars.

Life occupations: fishermen: 600, farmers: 400, sailors: 1,000, militia: 200, shipyards, dockyards: 300, quarries: 100, lumberyards: 100, construction workers: 50, silkworm plantations: 50, blacksmiths: 50, tailors: 50, dock workers: 50, breeders: 20, other trades and services, auxiliary personnel: 630.

Among them, the militia and sailors are all retired soldiers.

With the increase in personnel, the industrial structure of Linhai Village is now becoming more and more perfect. Basically, the village can maintain normal operation, but cotton and iron still need to be purchased, especially high-grade wood and fine iron for shipbuilding.

Before Ye Hui's departure this time, Li Tang entrusted Ye Hui to purchase a large number of 7-8 grade timber and 6-8 grade fine iron, and prepared to build ships such as flying tiger ships, building ships, and ships. It's just that there are only 3 senior ship engineers plus Li Tang in Linhai Village, 12 junior ship engineers, and 5 intermediate ship engineers.

In addition, there are 3 high-level blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop. Also due to material limitations, it is not yet possible to produce silver-level weapons such as the Cold Moon Knife and the silver-level armor Water Armor. The production of these equipment requires grade 6 refined iron, which is currently purchased by the God of Wealth, and the cost is too high.

can only wait for Ye Hui to buy refined iron and come back, and he can start production, speaking of which, this is also a specialty of Linhai Village, but the current production capacity is too low, and the equipment itself is estimated to be a problem.

Of course, there are still some special products in Linhai Village, such as abundant fishery output, seafood, coral, pearls, silkworms, etc. It's just that in addition to fisheries and seafood, it will take time for others to form a scale.

Fortunately, in the game, unlike in reality, items corrode and deteriorate quickly, such as the fish that is hit, and it can basically stay fresh after 1 year.

This game has to be set up like this, there is no freezer or anything in the game, and the map is big, if it is not set up like this, those distant-water fishing boats will not be able to go out to sea to fish.

In fact, there is another possible huge income in Linhai Village, the sea salt industry! Linhai Village is close to the sea, so you can naturally dry salt by yourself, and the site is large enough.

However, for Li Tang, there is no need to be so troublesome. Rely on natural conditions to dry sea salt, but also pay attention to weather changes and so on.

Li Tang has a cheat that is the Qiankun bracelet, in which he basks in sea salt, as long as he puts in the seawater, he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

Anyway, there is light in the Qiankun bracelet, there is no change of seasons, there is no bad weather change, the sea water is put in, and under the care, the natural evaporation becomes coarse salt.

Of course, coarse salt is not edible directly, and then a simple saturation crystallization method can be used to obtain edible refined salt, but it takes one more procedure, which is not a problem for Li Tang at all.

Li Tang only needs to ingest some seawater into the Qiankun bracelet and put it in the specially set up salt pond inside, and then transfer the excess brine out.

In this way, Li Tang doesn't do anything else a day, and if he basks in salt, it is possible to get an average of 100,000 catties of salt.

Although the cost of salt made in this way is low, the price of salt is not high, only 4-5 copper plates per catty, which is higher than the price of salt in real life, and the daily income is also hundreds of thousands of copper plates.

Li Tang realized at the beginning that he could make money through this method, although he was a little tired, but the money was stable! Later, Li Tang found that even if it was produced, it could not be sold, and the shipping route was impassable.

Later, the shipping route was opened, but the transportation cost was really not low, almost 1 copper plate and 1 catty, and I had to worry about pirate attacks. At this time, Li Tang still felt that it was a good deal. After all, you also need to buy items from the mainland, and you can also put the empty ship in the past, so it is better to pull something by the way, anyway, the cost is almost equal to zero.

Later, Li Tang knew that the monopoly of the salt industry was extremely powerful, and 4-5 copper plates were the retail price. Selling bulk salt by yourself not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also is attacked and squeezed by the same industry.

The retail cost is huge, and even if it is sold, the payment is not enough for your own personnel, rental expenses, etc. Sold to those powerful families, they only got 2-3 copper plates and 1 catty, and they could make a profit, but the profits were relatively meager.

Therefore, Li Tang produced a large amount of refined salt in the early stage. In the future, when the wealth is abundant, I will not be too lazy to spend that energy on production.

Refined salt can only be sold at a price in Linhai Village under its own jurisdiction, and it will be subject to unfair competition in areas that are not under its own jurisdiction.

This is also the original motivation for Li Tang to make up his mind and prepare to occupy more territory and grab more people. After all, so much refined salt is produced, and the population needs to consume it! Ha ha!
