Chapter Forty-Eight: Jubao Farm

Walk into the office of Gao Dejin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The inside is very spacious, all antique mahogany furniture, luxuriously furnished, antique.

"A big business is a big business!"

Fang Xiaobao praised it. Touching the east and looking west, I am full of curiosity about many new things that I have never seen before.

"Xiaobao, take whatever you like, my brother will give it to you!"

Gao Dejin greeted with a smile while instructing his subordinates to make tea.

"That's what you said!"

Of course, Fang Xiaobao would not be polite to him, he came directly to the side of the wine cabinet and reached out to touch two bottles of wine.

The wine is served in a fine glass bottle, and it looks like a good thing. For Fang Xiaobao, who likes to drink two glasses, of course, he has long been locked in as a target.

"Good eyesight!"

Gao Dejin smiled and beckoned Fang Xiaobao to sit down, and then introduced: "This is a foreign thing, an imported product from the West......"

Western!

Hearing these two words, Fang Xiaobao's face was stunned. He had heard that in addition to the land he lived in, far away from the vast sea, there was also a continent in the west where humans settled and established a kingdom.

"Lao Gao, have you ever been to the West?" Fang Xiaobao looked at Gao Dejin. He is the most curious about new things.

"Nope!"

Gao Dejin shook his head. Then he smiled and said: "Across the chaotic sea, it is much more dangerous to cross the ocean...... Brother, I still want to live a stable life for a few days, but I'm not interested in dealing with those yellow-haired and blue-eyed Westerners! ”

From his mouth, Fang Xiaobao learned that the Four Seas Commercial Bank had a special fleet under its command to open up shipping routes to the West. Trade between the two places has seized a huge amount of profits.

It's just that the greater the benefits, the greater the risks.

The ancient Chinese dynasties and the western countries were separated by a sea of chaos. The sea is dangerous and full of dangers. Even large merchants such as the Four Seas Trading Company, who hired a large number of fighters to escort them with high salaries, plus experienced seafarers, often had accidents in their fleets.

"Hurricanes? Shipwreck? Fang Xiaobao was curious. Although he had never seen the sea, he learned a lot about it from books. The greatest danger of the seafaring fleet is the shipwreck of a hurricane and a huge wave, which in turn leads to the destruction of ships and the loss of life.

"There are very few accidents like this!"

Gao Dejin shook his head. Seeing that Fang Xiaobao's face was full of interest, this one was not stingy and told him in detail what he knew.

There was a Gu clan in the mainland of China to establish an imperial dynasty. On the western side, there is also a kingdom established by human beings, called the Sass Empire. The two places are thousands of miles apart, and there is a vast sea in between.

Human curiosity to explore the unknown world has never been extinguished since ancient times. Not long after the establishment of the Gu Dynasty, he sent a fleet of ships to the western ocean.

Our ancestors experienced many dangers and opened up a golden waterway in the open sea, connecting the two great kingdoms of mankind.

The Western Sass Empire, the development of civilization was much more advanced than that of the Gu Dynasty, and it produced mechanical products such as clocks and watches, guns and cannons, which were very popular among the nobles of the ancient dynasties. Similarly, the ancient dynasties were rich in mineral resources, as well as handicraft products, which were also very popular with Western residents.

The two places are open for business and mutual benefit. Strongly promoted by those in power. However, due to the complexity and danger of the sea area, it is difficult to expand the scale of trade.

"Then the civilization of the Si Empire is stronger than ours, and the two places are interconnected, aren't we afraid of being violated here?" Fang Xiaobao's mind turned quickly and raised his own questions.

"There is no way for caravans to form a large-scale, and if any army wants to land and invade, it can be said that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky!"

Gao Dejin said with a smile. He then dipped his fingers in water and drew two circles on the table representing the ancient Chinese dynasty and the Western Sass Empire.

"Xiaobao, here it is!"

Pointing to the circle representing the two human kingdoms, separated from the central part, Gao Dejin drew a small circle, and at the same time said: "This sea area is called the Chaos Sea, and it is a place where the golden waterways of the East and West must pass, and the sea area is scattered with large and small islands, and there are thousands of ...... The most important thing is that on these nameless islands, there are a large number of pirates entrenched all year round, looting and looting passing fleets, and doing all kinds of evil! ”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaobao understood. The biggest hidden danger affecting the trade between the two great kingdoms of the East and the West is the pirates entrenched in the Chaotic Sea.

"It's just a group of rabble, send a naval army to suppress it!" He said casually.

"Brother, it's not as simple as you think!"

Gao Dejin smiled. Continue to say what you know. In addition to the safe waterways opened up, the seabed in other areas is full of reef whirlpools, and ships that are not familiar with the sea conditions will end up with shipwrecks and deaths.

However, most of the pirates entrenched in the Chaotic Sea are local natives and are familiar with the surrounding seas. To use an apt analogy, these pirates are like wolves in the jungle, and when they are rounded up by a large number of hunters, they immediately burrow into the dense mountain forest to hide, and take advantage of the environment to avoid danger. When the hunters have retreated, they will go out in groups again, causing trouble.

Therefore, whether it is the ancient Chinese dynasty or the Western Sass Empire, it is difficult to encircle and suppress pirates.

"Well, that's a nuisance!" Fang Xiaobao nodded. He is a smart man, and of course he knows the key points when he hears it.

"Fortunately, in the Chaos Sea area, there are also strongholds of our ancient dynasty stationed!"

Gao Dejin stretched out his hand on the table and pointed again, and said with a smile: "Probably in this position, there is a large island, which was captured by us many years ago, and an army is stationed on the island!" ”

"That's good!"

Fang Xiaobao clapped his hands and praised: "The army is stationed, and with this stronghold, it can patrol the sea area and deter those pirates...... Think long-term, familiarize yourself with the local waters, and then try to encircle and suppress pirates, and never suffer in the future! ”

"Xiaobao, your idea is very good, very strategic!"

Gao Dejin gave a thumbs up, first praised it, and then smiled at Fang Xiaobao and said: "But as far as my brother knows, the biggest use of this island is not this, but ......."

"What's it?" Fang Xiaobao's face was full of curiosity.

Gao Dejin seemed to be deliberately selling Guanzi, and said unhurriedly: "This island is very large, almost equivalent to half a province, and there are 5,000 elite soldiers and horses stationed on the island......

"Lao Gao, let's get to the point!"

"Well, I'll name this island, and I'm sure you'll be able to guess its maximum use, brother!"

Gao Dejin said this, and slowly said three words, which is also the name of the island where the soldiers and horses of the ancient dynasty were stationed, Alcatraz Island.

"Alcatraz ......"

Fang Xiaobao muttered, and in an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had already guessed what the biggest purpose of this island was.

"Could it be...... Is this Alcatraz related to the Dead? He looked at Goldkin, his face full of surprise.

Gao Dejin nodded: "Not bad!" The main purpose of this Alcatraz Island is to imprison the exiled remnants! ”

Remains! Abandoned people! Humans cursed by demons! An alien with all kinds of abilities to cause trouble!

Article 1 of the law of the ancient dynasty states that those who belong to the bereaved are forbidden to be expelled and are not allowed to be left in the world; Those who commit the most heinous crimes will be killed!

The island name demon, as Gao Dejin said, with Fang Xiaobao's cleverness, immediately associated with the outlier of the bereaved.

The main purpose of Alcatraz Island turned out to be to imprison the remnants of exile by the ancient dynasty!

Fang Xiaobao had a trance. Then, he thought about it, looked at Gao Dejin, lowered his voice and said, "Old Gao, our brothers are not outsiders...... In your opinion, are these people all vicious thugs? ”

In addition to the two of them in the office, there is only Fang Xiaobao's personal escort Zhang Biao.

Therefore, Gao Dejin didn't hesitate to speak, and said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if the bereaved people are all extremely vicious. At this point, he stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said: "In the eyes of our high-ranking ancient emperor, the relics have all kinds of strange talents for chaos and order, and the ability to influence and even subvert the rule of the dynasty, which is absolutely intolerable!" ”

Fang Xiaobao nodded straight after hearing this. What the other party said reminded him of a sentence he had read in a book.

Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts!

It is inevitable that those in power in all dynasties will never allow anyone to challenge their authority and take strong measures to suppress it.

There are good and bad people. The same is true for the bereaved. The reason why they are not allowed to be in the ancient Chinese Dynasty is due to their own talent.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaobao's mind saw the figure of a 'good brother' ghost, and a touch of sympathy flashed on his face unconsciously.

"Uncle! Brother-in-law! ”

A little chat. made Fang Xiaobao gain a lot of knowledge. At the same time, Li Rongdong, who stayed outside to supervise the unloading, pushed the door in.

"All the fish have been counted!" Li Rongdong handed over the list.

"Xiaobao, let's see if there's any problem!"

Gao Dejin instructed Li Rongdong to hand over the list directly to Fang Xiaobao. Fang Xiaobao took it and looked at it, and the list listed the fish varieties, weights, and prices one by one.

1,200 catties of bighead carp, five yuan per catty, 2 gold dollars, a total of 6,240 gold dollars.

According to the number of goldfish, there were 1,800 fish, each of which was 22 gold dollars, making a total of 39,600 gold dollars.

Red crays are graded according to individual weight, and more than five catties are eighty gold yuan per catty. 4 catties to 5 catties, 65 gold yuan per catty. Red crayfish under four catties are purchased at 55 gold yuan per catty.

Fang Xiaobao didn't look at the specific amount, only glanced at the total price. More than 1,000 gold red crays were sold for 84,600 gold dollars.

Three kinds of fish, a total of 130,400 gold dollars.

More than expected. Fang Xiaobao was excited in his heart, licked his lips, looked at Gao Dejin and Li Rongdong, and said with a smile: "Jin and Jin are whole numbers, it's a coincidence!" ”

"Whole numbers are good for reckoning!"

Gao Dejin cast a knowing look. Fang Xiaobao knows better than anyone that this batch of fish is definitely taking advantage of it in terms of weighing.

The farm has dry shares. Interests are bundled, and Gao Dejin will of course use his authority to give Fang Xiaobao the greatest convenience.

Take the list. Gao Dejin signed directly, and then he could use this list to go to the financial side to settle the account. However, there is an unwritten rule that the agricultural trade bank under the command of the Four Seas Commercial Bank must be a businessman.

The agricultural trade is in large quantities, and the private sector does not cooperate.

This is easy to solve. In Gao Dejin's words, as long as Fang Xiaobao gives the farm a name, it will be convenient to settle the bill later.

"Well, brother, you sign it...... Treasure Farm! Fang Xiaobao thought about it, and then gave his farm a very meaningful name.

"Gather treasure, gather the wealth of the world, and take your brother's name with the word 'treasure', very good, very good."

After hearing this, Gao Dejin gave a thumbs up.
