Chapter 352: Take-off
In the evening, the banquet begins!
People of all colors entered the newly decorated warehouse.
Warehouse ・・・・・・
No one would have thought that the venue for the banquet of the dignified governor of Zhejiang would be chosen here.
The smell here is very bad, although the incense is burned, but you can still smell the smell of the accumulation of goods, fortunately, the warehouse is huge, although there are countless merchants who invite the banquet, but because of the great relationship between the area, it is divided into two floors, so although it is slightly crowded, it has not yet reached the point of crowding.
It's just that ・・・・・・ table against the wall has wine, vegetables and fruits, but there are many strange things.
On the walls and tables, there are a variety of goods.
The man obviously didn't appear, and everyone was bored, so they naturally set their eyes on the walls and the things on the table.
It's not so much a 'thing' as a small museum, with all kinds of weaving fabrics, all kinds of exotic ironware, all kinds of exquisite, everything, and even models of large ships, of course, just models.
In the lower corner of the object, there is also an introduction written with a brush, such as a certain cloth that reads: "Songjiang cloth, imitation of good cotton yarn...... Large orders are possible......"
A single fabric, and divided into many kinds, such as Shu brocade, cloud brocade, Su embroidery, clamp vale, blue calico, twisted vale, etc., dazzling, the reason why the silk of the Ming Dynasty can be called a must, a large part of the reason, is the exquisite weaving, on the other hand, is the dyeing technology in the world at that time, a good silk, if can not be dyed with bright patterns, obviously can not move people's hearts.
And this dyeing technique is also expressed in ordinary cotton products, such as Shu brocade, cloud brocade and so on.
Some merchants couldn't help but be interested in these textiles, such as a few merchants from Luzon and Zhenla, who stood here motionless.
I have to say that although cotton products are not fresh in other places, and they are not as unique as silk, but just looking at the craftsmanship and coloring of the samples, most of those who have a little understanding of this kind of goods know that these are definitely high-quality products.
Some businessmen who used to do textiles began to talk about it, and some people simply touched the fabric and felt the texture of the fabric.
Seeing that some people were concerned, a guy immediately stepped forward and said in various languages: "What do you think of this Songjiang cloth?" This Songjiang cloth is spun from the best cotton in Songjiang, with excellent texture and cheap price. ”
The key is the price, a real wax merchant Jia said in half-life Chinese: "How much silver is a horse?" ”
"The current price is three taels and five dollars of silver."
Three or two five dollars, this is obviously the price of the pit father, in Ningbo, can be sold for one or two five dollars Amitabha, only low-end consumer goods.
But after all, it is a product produced in the workshop, in this era, large-scale production is very rare, and most people are still at the level of self-sufficiency. To put it bluntly, the grain is grown in his own fields, and the clothes are spun by his own women.
On the one hand, there are no advanced looms, which causes the cotton threads drawn out are often uneven, and because the villagers are not specialized weavers, they are all monks who have left home halfway, and it is a fool's dream to expect them to weave any good cloth. Not to mention, coloring the cloth is almost a luxury, even if you want to add some color, there is no place to specially ingrediate for their dozen feet of cloth.
This is the advantage, although the textile technology of this era has great limitations, but the weaving cloth produced by the workshop is definitely the difference between rice paper and straw paper compared to the cloth from all over the world.
Three or five dollars a piece of cloth, although it is a little more expensive, but if it is sold back to the feudal domains, but there is no need to worry about the market, after all, in this world, in addition to being able to afford luxury goods and even can't eat, there is also a fixed group, although they can't afford to wear silk and satin, but there is still a few surplus money in their hands, a few merchants eagerly discussed, they are not lucky this time, the rhino horn, spices and some specialties shipped are not sold at a high price, silk, tea and porcelain can not be bid, at this moment, if you return empty-handed, Although it is not a discount, the profit is still far lower than his expectations.
And these fabrics, obviously, can be used as a substitute for silk, after all, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the color is also bright, if you transport a boat back, even if you sell it for four taels of silver, I am afraid that it will not worry about the market.
"Do you have any will? If you are willing, how many goods do you want to buy, just say bluntly, as long as you pay the deposit, the sea route pacification envoy will immediately go to Ningbo to place an order, and the goods will soon be delivered.
"How many horses do you have?" Zhenla Shangjia was finally moved.
The guy smiled and said, "How much the guest officer wants, we can supply as much as we can within a month." ”
"Okay, five thousand horses."
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people naturally no longer hesitated, and the businessmen were all sensitive, and they immediately noticed this! There is a big business to do, and the rest of the people say: "I'll come with 10,000 horses, but I don't know what kind of suit you have?" ”
"I'll come ...... three thousand"
The guy was already happy, and said busily: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want this Songjiang cloth, go over there to register, pay the deposit in advance, and we will arrange a time to facilitate you to pick up the goods." ”
Fabrics are selling hotly there, while on the other side, many Japanese people are attracted to ironware.
There are many iron tools here, not only agricultural tools, but also many types of weapons, such as long knives, long swords, spears and even fire guns, as well as models of artillery.
Compared with the authentic Japanese knives, these knives are obviously a step behind, although they are also made of the process of 100 forged steel, but in comparison, they are always a lot worse.
A widow took the knife, tested the blade with his fingers, held it in his hand and waved it lightly, but shook his head again and put it back.
Although it is also a high-grade sword, it still can't satisfy them, but a few Francos on the side seem to be interested, and ask the guy on the side for the price.
The guy said: "This is a knife made by the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, the price is not high, three or three dollars of silver, the sword is a price, yes, and the spearhead of this spear will be cheaper, only one or two or seven dollars, there are arrow clusters here, the arrow cluster processing difficulty is higher, although the material is less, but it still needs three hundred Wen a, but you see this arrow cluster, there is a special blood groove, than the ordinary arrow cluster is a lot better." ”
Originally, this was an introduction to the Francosis people.
But those widows suddenly became interested.
Their dissatisfaction with the sword does not mean that they have no need, especially when they hear that one or two or three coins of silver are a handle, these few widows immediately come to their senses.
Although the price is a lot, but relative to the knife, the price is fair, although these knives are not as good as the knife, but its level of craftsmanship has reached at least eighty percent of the level of the knife, and although the Japanese knife is powerful, but to make a good knife, the cost is expensive.
Therefore, in the Wa Kingdom, except for the daimyo and samurai, the rest of the people did not have a katana, that is, they were more down-and-out samurai, and the cost of maintenance and oil was also staggering.
If the swords of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau could be supplied on a large scale ・・・・・・ maintained at this price, I think there would be many daimyo who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these swords, even if they were not used by the samurai, ordinary soldiers could also improve their combat effectiveness a lot in their hands.
In this way, before those few Francophone merchants made up their minds to order, on the contrary, these Japanese merchants stepped forward one after another and expressed their willingness to order, and the appetite of the two Uemura Yu and Takeda Nobuo was even more amazing, and they actually customized 1,000 swords and 5,000 arrows each.
The guy saw that there was a big deal, but he didn't rush to urge them to place an order, but said: "A few guest officers knew at a glance that they were people who were doing big business, in fact, there were still some goods here, and I think a few guest officers were very interested." ”
He looked at a few Francois merchants and said, "You might as well come with a few guest officers." ”
This guy said so mysteriously, but aroused everyone's curiosity, the Japanese and the Francois people have been fighting all the year round, and have a special enthusiasm for weapons, so with the guy to the third floor, the third floor here, there are not many people, and the wall is also pasted with the words "dangerous goods", warning others not to move lightly, on the wall here, there are all kinds of firecrackers, there are imitations of the Franc machine firearms, and there are Ming three-eyed guns, civilized guns and so on.
When those few Francophone people looked at the Franco machine fire gun on the wall, they were interested, because the style was similar to what they usually touched, but at this time, there was no so-called infringement, and the cottage was a copycat, but it couldn't be helped.
The fellow led them to the table, where a pile of swarthy iron eggs caught everyone's attention.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is artillery, but it is different from previous artillery, because artillery is often solid, although there are also unique sub-munitions, flowering bullets and the like, but everyone can clearly feel that this shell is hollow.
Hollow cannonballs ・・・・・・ make people feel rare, how much damage can this thing do when it is hit?
