Two days later, the fleet arrived at the Chengnan Wharf in Guangzhou.

The posture of Hao Hao Tang Tang made all the guards quite nervous.

Fortunately, as soon as the Xingsui flag was hung, these guards just came over and asked for a sum of money and let them go.

It's just that this move is a great deterrent to Guangdong businessmen, because it symbolizes a powerful force that has officially entered Guangdong's commerce.

Just looking at the ships one by one, and the many rare goods transported, it is enough to keep the Guangdong businessmen awake.

They are not afraid of the maritime merchants who come empty, but they are afraid of this kind of maritime merchants who come with a full load, because the former is easy to expel them, but the goods brought by the latter are obviously not available in Guangdong.

In this way, it is very likely that the land merchants will end up one after another, thus changing the business situation here.

However, they were in a hurry, but they could not do anything, so they had to silently persuade the land merchants not to do business with outsiders.

However, it was still useless, three days after the dock of the Dongqin fleet, Huang Wenfeng, the eldest son of the Huang family, personally went out to do business with this group of people.

This directly caused the rest of the land merchants to follow up, and for a while, many maritime merchants also fell together, and they all chose to lean on to drink soup.

The rest of the wealthy businessmen are stumbling blocks who are ready to poke and poke secretly, hoping to get the government to come forward to stop it.

But the government is reluctant to intervene, after all, Lord Liu's side has not yet issued an explicit order, and they don't dare to tear their faces prematurely.

After a few days in this way, the fleet continued to sail, some of the ships went to pick up the Tando, and the rest continued in the direction of Annam.

Two days later, the ship passed through the Qiongzhou Strait, and Tian Wu, the leader of the team, ordered the water depth to be measured, and arrived to observe the deployment of defenses on the coast of Qiongdao.

One of the routes of maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty to Annan was to sail along the coastline, take the Qiongzhou Strait and reach Anxing Port.

The other is not to go through the Qiongzhou Strait and directly arrive at Anxing Port.

For this reconnaissance, the fleet deliberately chose this slowest route, but also the safest.

Four days later, under the guidance of the maritime merchants of the Ming Kingdom, the fleet came to the port of Anxing in the Li Dynasty of Dayue at this time.

This port is near the Haiphong Port in later generations, and the river that flows into the sea is the Jingtai River, which is located on the northeast side of the Red River Delta, bordering the northwest shore of the Beibu Gulf.

At this time, the monarch of the Li Dynasty was Li Zheng, and the government was relatively stable, and the situation was relatively peaceful.

Vietnam's attitude towards the merchants of the Ming Dynasty is also very positive and open-minded, and the reason is very simple, that is, many things cannot be produced in Vietnam.

Whether it's women's fat powder, sleeping mats, iron pots, porcelain and cotton cloth, these are all things that Vietnam cannot produce but needs.

Therefore, the Ming merchants have been enjoying preferential treatment here, even after the Westerners came, this preferential treatment has not changed.

……

And the sudden arrival of so many sea ships also made the people of Annam very surprised, because the Cantonese merchants generally had at most a dozen boats, at least, maybe two or three boats.

It is not at all like the ships in front of him, and the mere docking makes the Annan people in the port helpless.

Moreover, these ships all had a bright red flag and yellow runes on it, which they had never seen before.

The Annan officials in the port were alarmed and ran to the pier to wait.

Tian Wu asked the two warships to keep the shuttle patrol, which allowed the flagship and the zero ship to come closer, and the flagship of the pioneer company also followed.

After stopping firmly, Dong Jinghua and the three of them stepped off the boat first.

"Dare to ask you, but you are from the Ming Kingdom?" Before they could stand firmly, several Annam officials, who were thin and small, wearing green or scarlet official robes, leaned over.

The officials led by him spoke Cantonese, Xu Songbai could only understand a little, but Dong Jinghua directly gave his hand and said in Cantonese: "It is the people of the Ming Kingdom, in addition, there are also people from the Eastern Qin!"

"Dong Qin?" The official was puzzled: "Is it a Daming domain?"

"This ...... Eastern Qin is just opposite Fujian, and it is a new country. Dong Jinghua replied while asking an entourage to translate.

After Xu Songbai heard this, he said directly: "Tell them that our Eastern Qin is a vassal!" So as not to be in trouble. ”

Dong Jinghua immediately changed his words and said: "Of course, Dongqin only paid tribute to Daming last year, and it is normal for you not to know!"

The official nodded, looking at the many ships, and he smiled, "Then what are you going to do this time?"

Dong Jinghua glanced at Xu Songbai first, and after seeing him nodding, he said: "The sugar business, as well as iron pot farm tools, there are a lot of good things, you can exchange them for grain!"

"Sugar?" The surrounding Annan officials lit up one after another.

"More than 2,000 stones, the price can be according to the market price of Annam!" Dong Jinghua said with a smile.

A burst of curiosity appeared on the face of the official at the head, and he arched his hand and said, "Down is Ruan Liao, the local governor of Anxing."

Dong Jinghua replied with a salute and said, "Dong Jinghua, a merchant in the next Ming Dynasty!"

Ruan Liao smiled, raised his eyes at the docked ships and said, "With so much sugar and so many goods, presumably the merchants in Anxing Port will never be able to eat it!" However, this is along the river, and there are many wealthy families...... Ignorance? ”

"If Lord Ruan is willing to be a middle-aged person, it would be great!" Dong Jinghua smiled and put the fan on his waist, clapped his hands and asked the entourage to take out a box, and after opening it for half a foot, he handed it over.

Ruan Liao glanced at it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this is a half-foot-long mountain ginseng!

Rare! Rare! It's just a rarity!

"Hehe, I have a heart! This white sugar is easy to melt, it needs to be cleared early, and please give it to you, and the lower officials can take it to taste one or two from door to door. ”

"It's nature!" As soon as Dong Jinghua waved his hand, he asked people to get a few stones, and everyone in the Annan officials present had one stone.

Sure enough, this gift was smashed like this again, and the officials present were all delighted, and they immediately handled the paperwork, and also hinted at the method of reducing taxes.

Dong Jinghua was so sweet that he naturally sent out dozens of iron pots.

After paying the tax, the Annan businessmen who heard the news in the port also rushed to the port.

This group of people didn't say a word, the first thing they wanted to buy was sugar, but Ruan Liao coughed, and immediately made these businessmen retreat.

They turned to other goods, and found ironware, iron farming implements, threshers, iron pots, summer cloths, bone china, kerosene lamps, all good things.

And they are all good things that I have never seen, which makes these Annan businessmen like crazy.

All of a sudden, all the merchants in the port were attracted to it. In just half a day, he did more than 20 transactions, and got more than a dozen businessmen to promise to pre-purchase a batch of rice.

……

Early the next morning, as soon as they got up, they found that several lavishly decorated boats had floated down the river.

The officials and merchants in the port, as soon as they saw these boats, stood on both sides of the boat, waiting respectfully.

The corners of Dong Jinghua's mouth showed a trace of contempt, and he sneered: "It's just such a vulgar decoration, and you dare to make such a big posture, but that's it!"

Xu Songbai also smiled and said: "Although it is not elegant, it is like being rich!"

Soon, a few people came down from several boats, these people were taller, and they looked more like Ming people than ordinary people in Annan.

As soon as they stepped forward, the Annan merchants and officials in the port bowed in unison, and the civilians knelt down directly.

Dong Jinghua changed his smiling face, and hurriedly said: "Outsiders have seen a few nobles!"

Xu Songbai and Li Sifu also did the same, just by looking at the silk and satin worn by these people, as well as the servants before and after, they could see that their identities were not ordinary.

The man at the head looked at Dong Jinghua with a smile and said, "Just wait for you to have a large amount of sugar on hand?"

Ruan Liao hurriedly introduced: "This is Young Master Li, this one is Wu Gongzi, this one is Hu Gongzi, and this one is Wu Gongzi!" In Hanoi, Tokyo, these four families have the financial resources to eat your sugar! ”

Dong Jinghua smiled flatteringly: "It turns out that they are all children of the family, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Little Grandpa Li raised his head, waved his hand and asked his entourage to reward Ruan Liao with a sum of silver.

Then he looked at the ship in the harbor and said, "How about selling us the sugar in the future?"

"This ......" Dong Jinghua made a look of embarrassment.

Little Master Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, the market price is six taels or four dollars of silver and one stone, and we will pay five taels of silver!" I won't let you discount the cost, and your goods will enter the port in the future, tax-free! ”

Dong Jinghua pondered for a while, but felt that the conditions were not too harsh, and he glanced at Xu Songbai.

Xu Songbai immediately said: "Part of the payment, I hope to use grain to pay, in addition, the population is also OK!"

Dong Jinghua translated this, and the four sons all smiled.

Little Grandpa Li said: "If you want more food, only the four of us can give it!" But how about this price, which is 10% more expensive than the market price? ”

After listening to the translation, Xu Songbai nodded silently, he wanted to buy a large amount of food, and it was most suitable to find this kind of indigenous person with a little power.
