Chapter 1152 Northern Commercial Route

The meeting between Wang Tom and Shen Shikui lasted for more than an hour, during which after obtaining Shen Shikui's consent, Haihan sent several cooks to the island, laid out various household items, and made a lunch for the two. Another soldier specially carried a table of eight immortals to the island, and set up a banquet in a serious manner. The two sides had a pleasant conversation before, and Shen Shikui did not doubt him, and called Shen Zhixiang to sit together.

Of course, there is no food, Wang Tom brought the aged daughter red produced in Shaoxing Mansion, Zhejiang, although the degree of rice wine is not high, but the strength of the wine is really not small, after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet is slowly warmed up.

"The old man also eats these seafood on Phi Dao on weekdays, but he doesn't have so many dishes. While eating, Shen Shikui praised the cooking skills of Tom Wang's cook.

Although he is the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, he has the status of the emperor of the soil on this Phi Island, but due to the extreme lack of materials on the island, the actual living conditions are actually very difficult, and the meat that can be eaten is basically from the sea. However, the only seasonings on this island are sea salt, which is not expensive, and even oil, sauce and vinegar are in demand, not to mention the various spices used in Haihan's cooking, so naturally they can't make any special taste.

Wang Tom said with a smile: "Now that the sea route from Dongjiang Town to Zhejiang is open, all kinds of southern products will arrive in the north one after another in the future, and there will be many good things that Lord Shen can enjoy in the future." Besides, Liaodong is rich in products, and Lord Shen has also done business before, and in the future, if the maritime trade is re-operated in the north, the living standards of the military and civilians in Dongjiang Town will definitely be much higher than now. ”

Shen Shikui said: "I heard that Haihan is good at navigation and commerce in the past, but after a while today, it really deserves its reputation! Presumably, before you entered Dengzhou, you had already planned to control the maritime trade routes in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, right?"

Shen Shikui has lived in the north for a long time, even if he has not dealt with Haihan much before, but from the two footholds chosen by the other party on the northern coast, he can also see that Haihan has a great plan. The connection between Zhifu Island on the north coast of Dengzhou and Lushunkou at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is exactly on the junction line of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The only plausible explanation is that the Haihan people had planned this layout for a long time, and its purpose was to control the navigation rights of this sea area, and then control the maritime trade in the surrounding coastal areas.

How profitable it is to engage in maritime trade, Shen Shikui still has a say in this point. He gave up business and joined the army, partly because he was married to Mao Wenlong, and it was not difficult to get an official position, and the other main reason was to use his military status as a cover to engage in maritime transnational smuggling trade in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. The warships of Dongjiang Town were able to travel between Liaodong, Korea and the Ming Dynasty unimpeded, without paying commercial taxes to either party, and the profits were still considerable. Before Kong Youde's defection to Liaodong, even some tribes under the control of Houjin were also the targets of Dongjiang Town's smuggling trade - all kinds of animal skins and medicinal materials produced in the mountainous areas of Liaodong were in high demand in Daming.

For a long period of time, Dongjiang Town, which did not receive much support from the Ming Dynasty, could only regard smuggling trade as an important part of its financial revenue, and Shen Shikui, who was in charge of operating these projects, gradually entered the high-level power of Dongjiang Town. He is much more sensitive than Shen Zhixiang to the competitive pressure brought about by the emergence of Haihan people, and he is also more worried about whether the future situation will be to compete within the existing business scope, or whether the two will cooperate to expand the business.

Wang Tom understood Shen Shikui's voice, and immediately responded: "Lord Shen, rest assured, we have always paid attention to making a fortune together, and there is no habit of eating alone. The conditions of which souvenirs to buy from you and which southern goods to sell locally can be negotiated slowly. If Dongjiang Town plans to send its own fleet to the south, we can also provide navigation escort along the way and help organize procurement in the production area. If Lord Shen still feels uneasy, he can send someone to go south with our fleet to the coastal capitals of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fuguang to inquire about our business reputation. ”
