Chapter 242: The Long Fair

Yang Guang remembered the occupation of Dayuan Island by the Dutch in modern time and space history, and then said to Wang Ying: "The Taixi people have a small land area, so they pay more attention to the power of the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You see that they can come all the way to Daming, and there are almost no Daming ships to go to Taixi, which is the best proof of this. For hundreds of years, these Tessians have been accustomed to profiting from the sea, and sooner or later they will infiltrate us! ”

"Ah Ying, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is not something we can shake now, so we can only develop and accumulate strength at sea. This will inevitably clash with the eastward expansion of the Tessians. That woman claims to be a Portuguese ****, if it's true, you can take advantage of it. But now they are not at the end of their rope, so I'm going to let it dry for a while, not entirely because of what happened before. ”

While Yang Guang and Wang Ying were chatting, Isabella and two of her subordinates returned to the ship, and after closing the door, the priest took the initiative to come forward and plead guilty, his misjudgment of Yang Guang put him in a disadvantageous position, and it was very likely that he would bury a potential ally.

Isabella didn't blame the priest, because at first they were just going to get some firearms from Yang Guang, but when Yang Guang found out his identity, in order to ensure safety, the priest took the risk of pulling Yang Guang into the water, as long as the two sides united to attack the Spanish gold ship, he was not afraid that Yang Guang would have other thoughts.

What the three of them couldn't figure out the most now was how Yang Guang could know Isabella's identity, but unfortunately they couldn't imagine that Yang Guang was from modern time and space, and he was a plane traveler with the strength of a level 7 mage, so no matter how they guessed, they couldn't find the right answer.

The next day, Isabella did not bring the priest with her, but went to see Yang Guang again with her subordinate Angel, who was also known as Baron Juan, but was told that Yang Guang was too busy to see her for the time being.

Isabella did not give up, and visited in the name of Baron Juan for several days in a row, but she never saw anyone. This may not seem like good news, but Isabella soon discovers that Yang Guang is not only missing her, but also other merchants who come to visit, and will never accept any gifts. Not only that, but Isabella and her subordinates can move freely within Long Island Harbor and can even leave at any time.

This result made Isabella and her subordinates a little relieved, it seems that Yang Guang did have something to do not see the guests, but it also made the priest even more guilty, because the last time Yang Guang actually met them in person for the first time, but he was too impatient to destroy the friendly relationship between the two sides, the only thing to be thankful for is that Yang Guang did not turn his face, I believe that there will always be a way to repair the gap between the two sides in the future.

Isabella tasted and used almost every sample brought by Yang Guang in the port of Long Island, which made her sense of Yang Guang and the Ming Dynasty change greatly. Europeans traveled to the Americas and Africa for spices and gold, not knowing that in an ancient country of Asia, they had everything they needed, and that the craftsmanship and quality of the products were clearly ahead.

In other words, if Isabella were to get the cargo from Yang Guang back to Europe safely, it would be a burning fire to the efforts of countless European fleets to travel back and forth across the global oceans overnight.

Of course, this is not surprising, and the things that can be passed down to the modern time and space and have not been eliminated must have passed the test of time. The raw materials used for manufacturing have been selected, cultivated and eliminated for hundreds of years, and the quality is certainly much better than the original products of this era.

As for the manufacturing process, not to mention, hundreds of years of development have long eliminated those methods that are not efficient and can not obtain better products, even if the main idea of producing something has not changed, but after hundreds of years of improvement, the advanced nature of modern industry is not comparable to the technology of this era.

The only thing that makes Isabella feel sorry is that she can't bring these goods back to Europe now, not even to resell them in Manila. On the one hand, the amount of gold and silver she brought was limited, and it was not enough to buy firearms, so how could she spend it elsewhere?

On the other hand, if the Spanish governor of Manila knew that there was a rich "gold mine" here in Long Island Harbor, he was afraid that he would really send a large number of fleets north.

Isabella knew very well how terrible the Spanish Armada was, and she thought that even an Asian detachment could not compete with Yang Guang. Even if we take 10,000 steps back and say that the Ming people here defeated the fleet of the governor of Manila with a large number of ships at any cost, in the face of unimaginable huge profits, the fleet of the Spanish mainland may not be able to be transferred to the east.

It was the invincible armada that had dominated Europe for decades, forcing every great monarch to bow his noble head. Under the bombardment of thousands of guns, any resistance would quickly crumble.

When the time came, the Spaniards had mastered the various cultivation techniques and means of production of the Ming Dynasty, and the goods they produced would be dumped into every corner of the world, so that they would continue to be strong and make all enemies, including Isabella herself, feel suffocated and powerful.

With Isabella's hesitation to see the future completely unclear, the Long Island Port Import and Export Goods Fair was successfully concluded, a trade event referred to as the "Long Island Fair", with a total of 187 products on display, of which 123 were brought by Yang Guang from modern time and space.

During the whole trade fair, the transaction amount exceeded 400,000 taels of gold, but the transaction volume belonging to Wufeng Gong accounted for 90%, and the remaining 9.99% was almost occupied by other products brought by Yang Guang, and the goods brought by Japanese merchants themselves were basically ignored.

After looking at the data that Shi Bin worked hard to count day and night, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing, although the sales of goods were gratifying, but what really made him happy was the issuance of currency recognized by these Japanese businessmen.

Japanese businessmen have no way not to recognize, what Yang Guang brought is not something they can refuse at all, even if they can't get the monopoly right, they must order some goods from Yang Guang, otherwise the next time Yang Guang comes back, these businessmen who don't have "Ming goods", so what are the competition with other business opponents who have ordered goods?

Of course, in order to avoid malicious competition leading to chaos in the market, Yang Guang adopted the method of monopoly rights, on the one hand, to control the total amount of products and goods, and on the other hand, to give some benefits to merchants who are inclined to him, thus speeding up the promotion of currency.
