Chapter 57: Making Sugar

Zhang Luo did not respond immediately to Iron Bar Three.

Iron Bar Three continued:

"Of course I'm dealing with pirates and pirates."

"Doing business with those outlaws, there's a lot of doorway inside."

"Does the little scholar need my help?"

Zhang Luo looked at the iron rod three and asked:

"What's the way to trade with thieves?"

Iron Stick Three smiled and said:

"This business is a lot of flowers."

"Doing business with thieves goes even deeper."

"Which gang to do and what kind of business to do."

"It's hard to say how much silver business you do."

Zhang Luo replied:

"Now the trade at sea is nothing more than weapons and armor."

"And grain, wine, salt, and some precious stones."

"Some Nanyangs sold firearms to pirates at sea."

"Come in exchange for the money of the widows."

"Sell gems and spices for the silk and porcelain of my Ming Dynasty."

"Isn't it nothing more than these three-line transactions?"

Iron rod Sanjue's self underestimated Zhang Luo a little.

Those words just now.

If it comes from the mouth of a Fuzhou businessman.

Iron rod three won't feel like it either.

People who have always lived by the sea.

Naturally, these are well understood.

If it is a businessman from the county town.

The Iron Bar Three will recognize this person as insightful.

There are also many businessmen who go to sea in Jinjiang County.

Those who can have this kind of insight must not be ordinary businessmen.

But Zhang Luo was born in a military household in a small coastal guard.

But they can tell the details of the trade at sea.

This made the iron rod three pay attention.

At the same time, Zhang Luo also thought about it for a while.

Iron rod three gangsters in a county.

I know so much about pirates and pirates.

It seems that the origin of the iron rod three is not small.

Iron Rods said in a respectful tone:

"It seems that Tie Mou is ugly."

"Mr. Zhang is really capable."

From a small scholar to Mr. Zhang.

Iron Stick Three has gradually paid attention to Zhang Luo.

Zhang Luo continued:

"Then Wang Yan, can there be sugar sales in Luocheng?"

Iron Stick Three glanced at Zhang Luo.

Confused said:

"Is Mr. Zhang going to sell sugar?"

"Although the brown sugar in this Jiaozhi Luo City is cheap."

"But southerners still love local sugar pills."

"I want to make money through Luocheng brown sugar."

"You have to go to the north to sell it to have a way out."

The iron rod said half of the words.

Didn't go on.

If it's just about selling sugar.

With the geographical advantage of Zhenhaiwei, you can try it.

But I want to really sell the sugar to the north.

A small Zhenhaiwei alone is not enough.

There are various passes to be taken along the way.

In addition, the southeast is now unstable.

As soon as he came out of the guard, he was afraid that he would be remembered by thieves.

Even the big clans in the Fujian-Guangzhou region.

They don't usually take the risk of doing business in the north.

Zhang Luo naturally understood the meaning of the iron rod three.

Now there are businesses in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

An out-of-towner wants a piece of the pie.

It's almost impossible.

Even in the twentieth century.

All provinces and municipalities still have corresponding monopoly industries.

Of course, Zhang Luo had no idea of going north to do business.

He just wanted to get his hands on cheap brown sugar.

Then make your own white sugar.

"I didn't ask you anything else, I just asked Wang Yan if there was any Luocheng brown sugar?"

Iron Stick Three says:

"He must have it, and the Nanyangs will carry some cheap goods with them."

"Wang Yan has a ship in Quanzhou Port."

"It's not difficult to get Luocheng brown sugar."

Quanzhou Port, Zhang Luo is very familiar with this place name.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was one of the several smuggling trade meccas in the southeast.

"What is a ship?"

saw that Zhang Luo had something he didn't understand.

Iron Bar Three was finally able to straighten up.

Said:

"Ships entering and leaving the port need to be piloted."

"Quanzhou Port sends 500 ships a month."

"A ship without a ship cannot dock."

"If you force yourself into Hong Kong, you will be sunk by the officers and soldiers."

"Then how should I get the ship guide from Quanzhou Port?"

"It's hard to get a boat guide."

"There is a ship club in Quanzhou Port that cooperates with the government."

"Most of them are maritime merchants from Quanzhou."

"And a few pirates, pirates."

"These dozens of leaders get together once a year."

"We will discuss the number of places to be disembarked."

Zhang Luo was dumbfounded.

A port for officers and soldiers.

Even the Chamber of Commerce has come out.

Iron Rodsan saw Zhang Luo like this.

Laughing even more unscrupulously.

He went on to say:

"The ship is silver."

"A ship can be sold for nearly 10,000 taels of silver."

"Most of the income of the Quanzhou Boat Club is generated by selling ships."

"They use the money to train the villagers."

"I also bought some firearms from Nanyang."

"For the defense of the port."

"So the port of Quanzhou can be said to be."

"Defend both land and sea, unless you send a large army, you can't attack it."

Zhang Luo asked:

"There are still firearms to buy in Quanzhou Port?"

Iron Rodsan was stunned by Zhang Luo's words.

Puzzled, he asked:

"Mr. Zhang still plans to buy firearms?"

张洛 says:

"You also know that Zhenhaiwei is in the hardest-hit area."

"Firearms are more convenient than knives and guns against pirates."

"So I want to see the power of firearms at sea."

Iron Rodsan was skeptical of Zhang Luo's words.

But he didn't go any further.

said to Zhang Luo:

"These firearms were sent to Nanyang by Westerners first."

"Nanyang merchants smuggle it over again."

"They only look at gold and silver, as long as they have money."

"Even the cannon will be sold."

"Only you have enough money in your pocket."

"You can buy basically everything in Quanzhou Port."

"But most of the Western firearms are expensive."

"Gunpowder alone costs a few taels of silver."

"A cannon will cost seventy or eighty taels, if you don't say anything."

Seventy or eighty taels of silver.

Zhang Luo had a headache when he heard it.

Thinking of the original weapon fighting fine, he paid forty-nine taels.

Knowing this, let the villagers start lightly.

Zhang Luo asked again:

"In addition to artillery, it can be sold with birds?"

"It's definitely going to sell."

"There are not only Western-made ones, but also local ones in the Ming Dynasty."

"Some merchants will sell the bird guns to the Toyo Kingdom."

"That's a lot of money."

"Even the sea is full of pirates."

"It's not safe to go to sea."

"A handful of bird guns and ammunition will cost at least ten taels of silver."

"If you make it cheaper on land, it costs seven or eight taels of silver."

Seventeen taels for one artillery piece and ten taels for one bird.

Zhang Luo lamented that the arms business was really profitable.

But this thing is now the hottest item in the world.

Zhang Luo didn't expect that the firearms technology of the Ming Dynasty would keep up quite quickly.

There are already bird guns at the exit.

What if you produce your own munitions?

Zhang Luo soon felt that this idea was unrealistic.

Not to mention that selling arms in the Ming Dynasty was to kill the whole family.

It also violates the scope stipulated by itself and 100 households.

We are to build a firearms room for the production of birds.

A variety of corresponding accessories are required.

Zhenhaiwei certainly doesn't have that possibility now.

Let's think about white sugar first.

Earn a little silver first.

Don't starve to death.

In the days that followed.

Zhang Luo first teaches every afternoon.

After teaching, I went to the field to give a lecture.

The explanatory imperial examination rose to LV12,30/120

The calligraphy also arrived at LV5,30/50

Zhang Luo continued to add attribute points to his strength.
