One night passed, silk, porcelain, and tea were all sold, and 1.4 million taels of silver were obtained.

These three things are naturally the big head, some other commodities, but not in a hurry to sell, the big dealers in this bidding, naturally satisfied, but for the small and medium-sized merchants, it is tantamount to a catastrophe, everyone came all the way, on the one hand, it is to resell the goods, but after the goods are resold, is it empty-handed?

What businessmen always pursue is profit, and now many businessmen have to start looking for another way.

Fortunately, Wang Zhi has announced that he will start buying the goods of Fanshang tomorrow, which makes everyone pay attention, but now, it is close to the third watch, and everyone has slept hastily.

Immediately after that, a new deal began.

These days have been a toss for the merchants, and everyone is dizzy and dizzy, but at this time, anyone has to fight their spirits and deal with the sea route pacification envoy, the sea route pacification envoy has posted a list, and all the goods to be purchased are posted, such as spices, such as rhino horn, all kinds of commodities, unified purchase, just the price, but it can only be regarded as very ordinary.

Generally speaking, this is half the price compared to the past.

So, the merchants suddenly exploded, it is really unreasonable, the price of porcelain and silk has skyrocketed, but the various Xibei goods brought by themselves have plummeted, which is clearly a forced purchase and forced sale, and it is clearly a bully.

That's right, it's a forced buying and selling, as a monopoly giant, if you don't buy and sell, then you still have a monopoly fart, it's better to open a good hall.

The problem is that those rhino horns, spices, cowhides, tiger skins and other commodities often have two sales points, one is Europe, the other is the Ming Dynasty, although the price of Europe is also high, but it is controlled by the Francos and the big cannibals, from the South Seas to the Ming Dynasty, and from the South Seas to Europa, not to mention the voyage alone to encounter a storm There are many opportunities, after all, it is to cross the Indian Ocean, but also to bypass Africa, the risk is extremely high.

On the one hand, the risk is large and the return is large, and on the other hand, the risk is significantly smaller, and the return is much less.

As a monopoly giant, there is still this awareness, if you don't want to sell, don't sell, bulk transactions, as long as it is in Asia, if you want to ship, you can only find the sea route to appease the envoy.

At the same time, everyone scolded bitterly, but there was no way, but on the side of the Japanese country, there were not many specialties, and the knives were obviously not among the imports of the pacification envoy by sea now, but there were a lot of Japanese women, and these pit merchants colluded with the daimyo to buy the captive female dependents in Edo, and human trafficking has become an industry, and now these guys have come all the way, but there is a group of people who want to trade with people.

However, no matter what it was sold, many people were greatly disappointed with the price offered by the sea route pacification envoy, and even many small and medium-sized businessmen were very interested, and suddenly felt that this trip was really not worth it, neither bought a batch of silk and porcelain, nor sold a batch of goods in their hands, although the price was not to lose money, but the profit did not meet expectations.

Sea trade, in this era is a profiteering industry, but unfortunately this sea route to appease the envoys, relying on the monopoly, the profits of trading almost as their own, and even some businessmen have retreated, next year, will not come to Shuangyu Port.

And in the city hall, a new plan is being planned, money, naturally, is earned, easy to make a trip, is millions of taels of silver, this kind of luxury business, can be described as a million profits.

However, it is obvious that Xu Qian is not satisfied with the purchase and sale of this kind of luxury.

After all, this kind of export, must be controlled, if you are three days two shipments, people are willing to buy ten times or twenty times the rush to buy it, then it is crazy, luxury goods are called luxury goods, because it is not common, therefore, this kind of trade, sea route pacification envoy is enough to make two trips a year.

But to earn silver, it is not possible to rely on luxury goods alone, and now there are so many workshops in Zhejiang and Tianjin, relying on silk and porcelain alone, how many people can make a fortune?

After all, Xu Qian is no longer a simple businessman, but also an official, and the four words of the imperial court official certainly mean money, but he has to do something serious, and this is also related to the success or failure of the new deal, so he must not be careless.

Xu Qian and # Yu Jian and Wang Zhi discussed in the city hall for several hours, and finally, a plan was released, Wang Zhi was a good executor of the plan, and after understanding Xu Qian's intentions, he began to prepare.

Night.

There are still patrolling sailors on the streets, more than 7,000 sailors under the jurisdiction of the sea route pacification envoy, all of them are recruited from Tianjin, Shandong and other places, with a strong physique, after several battles with the Japanese invaders, compared to the official army, it is also considered elite, and in this Shuangyu Port sailors, there are more than 3,000 people, they are divided into three shifts, day and night patrol, that is, at night, the empty streets can still see the figure of a team of people who appear across the knife under the moonlight.! Just a warehouse not far from the town hall, and now there are hundreds of people in it! Under Wang Zhi's order, these people repaired and renovated the warehouse overnight, and at the same time, boxes of goods began to be transported in from the ship.

Wang Zhi is very tired, but he is still working hard here to guide the craftsmen, how to place things, where candles can not be lit, and he has to care about everything.

Looking at the warehouse that gradually took a little shape, and began to change with his own efforts, Wang Zhi's face showed a little smile. Since he was defeated, became a prisoner, and then had to become Xu Qian's personal slave, Wang Zhi rarely showed such a satisfied smile.

Sometimes, Wang Zhi had to admire this Futai lord, although this person was an official, he never followed the rules, and many whims, even he never thought of it.

Seeing that the arrangement was almost done, he gave a few orders, and then returned to his office, called a scribe, explained his intentions, and asked the scribe to transcribe the proclamation overnight and publicize it widely.

In the second half of the night, Wang Zhi lay on the desk and barely slept all night, and at the end of the night, he got up in good spirits, and hurriedly went to the city hall to pay homage to Xu Qian, Xu Qian just rinsed his mouth, took a sip of tea, and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Wang straightened down and said, "My lord, everything is ready, and the proclamation has been sent." The lower officials thought that this matter would definitely succeed. ”

Xu Qian became interested: "How can you see it?" ”

Wang Zhidao: "On the one hand, the maritime merchants have transported all kinds of seafood to Shuangyu Port, it is impossible to go back empty, they have to buy some goods back to sell, even if the profit is not high, but there is silver to earn, it is better than pressing stones in the cabin." ”

Wang Zhi glanced at Xu Qian, saw Xu Qian nodding slightly, and continued: "Secondly, it is the goods of the Ming Dynasty, because of tea, silk, and porcelain, in the eyes of all countries, they are all high-quality products. Even if countries have the same goods, there will be people who would rather buy high-quality Daming goods. ”

Xu Qian smiled: "This matter is not a word, but you said it so definitely first, whether it is successful or not, it will be immediately clear." ”

When many businessmen were disappointed, some people even had the idea of retreating, and at this time, another proclamation appeared on the streets.

This evening, the governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty will hold a banquet to entertain all businessmen, but anyone who is willing can participate.

Banquet......

Everyone was a little interested, although they wanted to leave, but they didn't want to leave so quickly, they had to replenish fresh water first, and they had to load ballast stones in the cabin, after all, many people returned empty-handed and did not carry any goods.

In this case, it is better to go and meet the legendary governor, the man who does business, who does not want to win over some more relationships, and sometimes, it is more practical to establish a good relationship than real money.

The big businessmen also sharpened their knives, the rights of the governor of the Ming Dynasty were no less than the lord of a certain country, and it was even said that this young and promising governor was the red man of the Ming Emperor, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

If you can win over this Futai, I don't know how much convenience it can provide in the future.

And the small businessmen are going to join in the fun, and there is nothing to do anyway.

So, many people began to look forward to it, in this hotel in Shuangyu Harbor, the nobleman named Liu Da was sitting here at this time wiping a short gun, and standing beside him was the old man who was with him in the bidding last time, and the old man said in fluent Spanish: "I haven't found any trace of them yet, but it can be confirmed that they should be among the merchants, Your Excellency, do we really have to mind the thoughts of these deep-skinned monkeys?" ”

Liu Da squinted his blue eyes, smiled, and said: "They are naturally insignificant, but don't forget, these people still have some influence after all, who can guarantee that the Ming Kingdom will not use this as a bargaining chip to intimidate and blackmail, a qiē, it is better to be careful, the Far Easterners said, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, so, continue to let people search, find them, and kill them!" Can you grasp what I mean? ”

The old man was silent for a moment, finally nodded, took off his hat and bowed: "As you wish!" ”

The second chapter was delivered, and in the last three days, the festival was not kept, hey・・・・・・
