The port of Haixing has been more lively than the New Year recently, after the flood, several big ships going to sea, whether it is fishing or selling goods, are full of loads, but in this season, most of the fresh fish are not easy to preserve, and the merchants have to make salted meat or cured meat, in this way, the price of goods of some merchants in Haixing has been suppressed again, and the whole market has ushered in a low price again, which makes Haixing garrison fume and does not know what to do.

Seeing that those hoarded goods were rotten one after another, the garrison just skipped the county king's mansion and privately persuaded several major merchants in Haixing to let those traders who came back from going to sea skip Haixing directly, and no taxes would be collected within a year, and they would have to deal with it themselves. This is already the biggest concession made to the merchants for the garrison, and for those merchants, maintaining the same pace as the garrison is the important thing now.

The rich Haixing has the most important port in Qingguo, and it is also the only place where the emperor has not asked much since ancient times, and the garrison and the county king's mansion are built in Yaxian County, which is full of high mountain cliffs and close to the sea, each performing its own duties, guarding this vast territory, the land with few people and complex terrain.

Haixing's largest port, Shaluo Port, has just dawned, and convoys have set off one after another to go to various parts of Qingguo.

This is the only official road in and out, I have never seen such a prosperous scene, Xiaobai looked at the door and felt a little exaggerated, there was no gap between the caravans at all, everyone chatted like acquaintances, at first glance, they would think that it was a super luxury caravan coming out.

Even if they all passed by to welcome guests, even if it was noon, no one stopped to come in and sit, Xiaobai rested his mind to see the excitement, and went into the house to be busy, at this time, an uncle walked in. This uncle also coincidentally, he drank too much water, and he was embarrassed to borrow a water bag from his subordinates. He let his convoy come in and rest.

It was this very coincidental accident that allowed him to win the only victory in a team of teams that was almost impossible to make money, and began his journey to fortune. And the others. It can only be said that the way of fortune cannot be determined by heaven, and sometimes it is also people who determine the sky.

This uncle is a native of Haixing, and the flood has already bankrupted his family, this time he risked his life to go to the distant Linbeihai to try his luck. It can be regarded as a blessing in the beauty of heaven, when passing by Rabbit Island, he did not encounter a storm, so that he successfully arrived in the North Sea, his batch of big ships are all fully loaded, and the farthest he goes, naturally he also gets the most.

There were twenty-three truckloads of goods for him this time, and the courtyard that greeted the guests was sturdily blocked. Xiaobai invited a group of people to the hall for tea, but the uncle didn't plan to have lunch here, so he just said that he would fill the water bag and rest and leave.

Xiaobai was bored, and walked to the yard to see what kind of goods it was, it didn't matter if she saw it, there were some things that really made her very excited. It's like dozens of deep-sea fish frozen in a whole block of ice. She was scared, these fish were too ugly.

There were also a few cars with all kinds of cured meats, and she could smell the aroma of fruit trees from afar, except for some ordinary, even strange shapes, and she couldn't be sure what it was.

What surprised her the most was a cage containing a bird that can only be found on Rabbit Island, the golden pheasant. With colorful feathers and a long tail that mops the floor, it can be used for viewing and cooking, and the meat is soft like a soft steamed bun that has just come out of the pot. Xiaobai had seen in the miscellaneous notes that Rabbit Island was very large, and except for some native tribal groups, there were almost no outsiders living in it.

Seeing half of it, the uncle came out and shouted Xiaobai. "What does the little girl like, I'll sell it to you cheaply."

"I only watched a little bit, but I didn't finish it." Xiao Bai turned over the goods on the carriage with great interest.

The uncle thought that this country girl had never seen anything in the world and still had some teasing thoughts, so he stepped forward to make an introduction.

"These are all brought back by the uncle from outside the sea, and they are all good things that Qingguo does not have."

"I don't believe it, Qingguo is so big, what's not?" Xiaobai also learned from books in the end, but what Qingguo's book says must be everything? Not necessarily. Therefore, if you want to broaden your horizons, you still have to walk a few more steps.

The uncle laughed: "How big is Qingguo, and there are Dongguo and Yuanguo next to it, do you know how big the sea is?" It is hundreds of times that of the three countries combined, and we are not the only ones in this world, there are many countries in the vast sea. ”

Xiaobai listened a little incomprehensible, in fact, it was not just her, in fact, it was okay to say these words to those traders who went to sea, they people, including those students who only knew how to do learning, they might not be able to understand, probably, Lin Wenhai would understand, Xiaobai thought so, didn't he often go to sea to those islands and bring some strange things back for himself?

"Look at this, this one is from the Great Ming Kingdom. It's 108,000 miles away from us! He took out a piece of cloth, which was wrapped around the thick and smooth logs of his arm, and shimmered in the sunlight. At first glance, the pattern on it looks as if it was engraved. "Beautiful, this is a colorful relief brocade, with good silk twenty embroiderers a year to get such two meters, is specially used to make quilts. I was lucky enough to get five horses, but it was because the owner accidentally let the five horses of cloth get drenched in the rain, and after drying them, I found that there was a color difference with other places, so I transferred them to me at a low price. ”

"Look at this again, it's made of mahogany, our mahogany here is either not too small or it's long gone, where to find it, this box is carved out of a whole piece of wood, hollowed out in the middle, and then carved a pattern, do you know what this is used for in their place? Fill candy cubes for small children. Tut-tut, what a waste. ”

"And this, I picked it up on the coast of Daming Kingdom." In his hand, several stones of different colors but with crystal clear and translucent bodies shook so much that Xiaobai couldn't open his eyes.

"This is Ruri?" Xiaobai asked.

The uncle saw the set of glass cups at a glance in the hall, thinking that Xiaobai was also a little wealthy, but he still smiled and said: "A girl like you, it's great to be able to see glass, but this is not, it's a small stone along the coast of the Ming Kingdom, a stone that no one wants, how about it, it's more beautiful than glass." ”

"Yes, it's beautiful."

"And these, all dried fish and dried goods that they have sunburned. I've forgotten some of the names, oh, by the way, I wrote the names on them, I'm afraid I'll forget. Hey. How's that, little girl, do you want to buy something? ”

Xiaobai held his chin and thought about it, looked at the uncle and said, "I want them all." ”

"What?"

"Tell me how much you want, I'll get the money." Xiaobai was in a hurry, she was afraid that this uncle would not sell her to him because she was young.

The uncle really thought she was joking, so he blurted out without even thinking about it, "500,000 taels of silver." ”

Xiaobai patted his chest, but it was okay. The uncle looked at her clothes as relieved and thought to himself that she wouldn't come, right? In fact, he really said casually, this time he only borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver when he went to sea, and some of them came from white wolves with empty gloves.

"Uncle wait for me for a while." Little White scurried back to the bedroom, and turned out the cabinet where the bounty was kept, most of which were silver ingots and gold beans.

The silver was not enough, she thought for a while, so she had to pour all the gold in the cabinet into the sewing basket she used to hold the rags, and then turned out the backlog in the space for a long time, so long that she forgot who rewarded the purse, money, bag, wooden box, and turned out all kinds of gold ingots, beans, small fish, plum blossoms, blessing or something, there were more than half of the baskets.

She didn't know if it was enough, so she went to her uncle with the basket of gold. The uncle was made to cry and laugh by Xiaobai. I didn't expect her to be quite popular here, and there was so much bounty.

Ten taels of silver are exchanged for one tael of gold, and Xiaobai's gold is far from 50,000 taels of gold. Only half of the amount.

The uncle comforted her and said, "Otherwise, you can pick what you like, I will make you cheaper, there is no need to buy them all." ”

"No, uncle, I'm going to buy them all. Wait for me, and I'll see if there's any gold. She suddenly thought of Mrs. Shang's box, and hurriedly went back and took it out of her bag and opened it, and put a few handkerchiefs on her face, and below it was indeed a stack of silver tickets, a total of ten, each with a denomination of 100,000. A total of one million, clearly stamped with the merchant's logo.

Although I don't want to use it, I don't have this store in this village.

"Here you go." Xiaobai stuffed the silver ticket into the uncle's hand, she was in too much hurry just now, she didn't hold the frame of gold, but now she hugged it in her arms and put it back behind the counter.

The uncle opened it and clicked it, but he didn't pay attention to anything else, and he saw the mark of the merchant. I muttered in my heart, who is this little girl? But he was embarrassed to ask, he just thought it was good to have a good relationship. He took one out of the silver ticket and gave it back to her. "Uncle was playing with you just now, forty is enough. I didn't expect you to have it. It seems that you are quite capable of this little girl, and this business is good for welcoming customers. ”

"Well, it's good, of course." Xiaobai nodded proudly.

"Where do you see the things unloading for you?"

"You just let them put it in the yard."

"That ice cube won't do it. You have to find a place to store it. ”

"It's okay, I'll just make it myself later."

"Then we'll be done unloading and leaving. You really don't need me to help you? ”

"Thank you, uncle, I really don't need to."

Half an hour later, the uncle returned to Salo Harbor with an empty convoy, and this time, he made a lot of money. It's a pleasure.

The goods were marked with a uniform multicolored hemp rope and hung with a wooden plaque with three large characters written on it: "Xin World"
