Dongqin's development of Hailan Port triggered a chain reaction.

Where the silver is, there is a great truth.

The Jurchen tribes of Haixi, due to their early contact with the Eastern Qin, quickly accumulated a lot of family resources.

They easily gained a lot of wealth by becoming second-class dealers, and they used the wealth in exchange for armor and sabers, which prompted them to monopolize the trade routes more powerfully.

Except for the Jianzhou Nurchen who entered halfway, several tribes close to Hailan Port are all eating the benefits of this port.

The iron pot produced in the Eastern Qin Dynasty even hit the market in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and the iron pot and tea were like a stream of water, flowing towards the places where there was demand.

At present, the Mongol tribes, and the tribes that are closer to the Jurchen tribes, can benefit more from it, which completely changes the previous situation.

The smugglers and military generals at the Daming border pass were all aware of this matter, but they were powerless.

In time, it is very likely that two major factions will be formed, one is mainly based on the mutual market with the Ming Dynasty, and the other is mainly based on the trade of Hailan Port.

The interests of commerce and trade will prompt these tribes to continue to grow themselves, and the contradictions will become more and more intensified, but no matter how much they toss, they can only be firmly kidnapped by the goods of Eastern Qin.

After Zhang Shu learned about this situation, he reacted violently, knowing that when he was in the chicken coop, he should have treated those tribes like this.

As long as their lives are inseparable from the goods of Eastern Qin, and as long as they can profit from commerce, then these tribes will never be able to escape from the palm of Eastern Qin.

……

A few days later, caravans of several tribes came to the harbor of Hailan.

There were about forty men in each group, all on horseback and carrying some goods.

In two caravans, there were also a dozen men and women who had ropes tied around their arms, like cattle, who were led over.

The cadres of the merchant station were busy approaching, and a translator accompanied them.

Zhang Shu and the others were curious and rushed over one after another.

I saw an old man in a cotton jacket, fiddling with leather goods with a flattering face.

The cadres of the merchant station were full of disgust and picked and said: "Why do you have holes in these skins? Also, why not use nitrate treatment? You should know that if you don't dispose of the skin, there is a risk of spreading the disease, so take it back! ”

The old man sneered: "Venerable Lord Dongqin, our tribe's nitrate has run out, these skins really can't be nitrated, if you don't accept it, we won't be able to exchange it for saltpeter, and we will never be able to trade here again!" ”

"No way!" The cadre was tough, pointed to the horses behind him and said, "Either exchange the horses for them!" ”

"Yes...... It can be cheaper, we have brought it over, please be accommodating! ”

"Heh, enough accommodation!" The cadre waved his hand impatiently and asked the next tribe to come up.

The old man hesitated, pointed to the two horses, and said, "Two horses are attached, and I beg you to accept these skins!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" The cadre smiled, signed a bill and stamped it, and handed it to the old man.

The old man bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you, master!" ”

"Don't play tricks next time, the nitrate has to be transported from Dongqin, no matter how much you save, you have to make the skin beautiful for me!"

The old man smiled and walked away, and his goods were quickly counted, except for the leather goods, the most were all kinds of dry goods, and some bits and pieces.

"Comrade, why do these people deliberately not use nitrate?" Li Quanyou said curiously.

"Why else, these people are holding nitrate to make sacrifices! I don't know if it was discovered by the shaman, with nitrate and charcoal ash, you can make fire, and when it comes to the sacrificial season, the nitrate is compact! Dongqin also controlled the export of nitrate, so it was natural that there would be a shortage of nitrate! ”

"Can't you pile up nitrate here?" Zhang Shu asked.

"What's the nitty? If we let them learn, how can we make a lot of money from this? The merchant station cadre said with a sneering smile.

Zhang Shu nodded, realizing what is called the advantage brought by technology, the saltpeter that is easily available in Dongqin is worth a lot of money here!

Soon, it was the turn of the two tribes of the traitors, who were noticeably wealthier, with their armor and bows, and who looked more decent.

Several cadres began to inspect the goods with ease, and they divided women and men into three classes, young men and women belonged to the highest price, children and teenagers were second, and the least valuable were old men.

"These people are from Jianzhou Wei, and they have the qualifications to pay tribute to the Ming Kingdom, and they are relatively stronger! Looking at the costumes of these captives, it is likely that they are from a small Mongolian tribe! Seeing that they were curious, the cadres of the merchant station explained.

"That's how all the people on our side came here?"

"Almost all of them come like this, and there are some people who take the initiative to come to take refuge, almost every few days there is a wave, they feel that being a tenant for us is like being a slave to a nobleman, and they are very satisfied if they can rely on farming to eat enough!"

Zhang Shu looked at this human trade, about a hundred mouthfuls, in exchange for a few bundles of cotton cloth, a bag of sugar and a bag of salt, these people are so cheap, a horse can be exchanged for an iron pot, but a person can not change an iron pot.

The dirty faces of these people were also full of panic, and their eyes were pleading or numb.

The interpreter spoke to them in Mongolian, and the men quieted down a little.

After someone took them to dinner, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, treating the cadres of the merchant station as their new masters.

The transaction continued, and the second shipment was a dozen horses.

"Asa gives...... "The leader of Jianzhou Wei said.......

"What?"

"Director, they said they wanted to order a batch of cotton armor, the more the better, and the weapons in the hands of our soldiers, he asked if it was an arquebus, and they wanted it too!"

The cadre of the merchant station was surprised: "You have seen this kind of weapon!" ”

The leader nodded and said, "I've heard it!" It is said that there is a group of people who are very powerful, relying on this kind of weapon, they have defeated the Ming Dynasty! ”

The cadre glanced back at everyone, leaned closer and said, "This weapon is indeed an arquebus, but do you know who defeated the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"I only know that the Ming people call them black people, saying that they have short clothes and short hair!" The leader suddenly smiled and looked meaningfully at the short-dressed, short-haired people in front of him.

The cadre of the merchant station said: "That's right! We are the people in the mouth of the Ming Kingdom, and we have indeed defeated the Ming Kingdom, but the arquebus cannot be sold! ”

The leader smiled: "You should understand that the Ming army in Liaodong is very interested in the trade here, if they can, they will definitely interfere!" We Jianzhou Wei, it's really good to block the Ming army for everyone! You are very strange, why do the people of Liaodong come to trade once and then stop coming, it is because I have the three guards of Jianzhou, and without us attacking these caravans with bad intentions halfway, there will be no peace here! ”

The cadre of the merchant station waved his hand and said: "Firearms are controlled for export, and you can buy the rest!" ”

The leader narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you want more people to farm for you?" You should understand that one Liaodong can capture hundreds of thousands of slaves! ”

"We're not robbers!" Li Quanyou couldn't help but reprimand: "We in Huaxia don't need to be so stupid!" ”

"That's right, you don't have to think about arquebuses! Anyway, whatever you do, we don't mix, no matter who comes here, we will trade with them. ”

Zhang Shu thought about it on the side, but he heard some extraneous sounds, he knew that Jianzhou Wei was sandwiched between Daming and Hailan Port, and its behavior of blocking trade was bound to cause dissatisfaction among the Ming army in Liaodong.

At this moment, asking for an arquebus seems to be afraid of the new weapons of the Ming army, and he is eager to get a thing or two.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Shu was surprised to find that Dongqin's trade in Hailan Port seemed to be just a trade, which really caused a huge contradiction between the local area and the trade route.

If the Ming army wants to intervene, doesn't that mean that this large area will be leveraged by Hailan Port?

On the other hand, as long as the Eastern Qin Dynasty continues to reclaim cultivated land and gather the population, it can naturally expand its territory efficiently and slowly.

In the future, when the local population increases, then Hailan Port will be ripe.

"It seems that Junshang's move in Hailan Port is indeed clever!"
