on the pier.

Li Zexuan was talking to Yan Lide and them, and Wang Renbiao had already gone and returned, and walked back.

He first said hello to the two court bosses, and then looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, I have prepared the boat, and I will take you on the big ship to see the goods~!" ”

"Well, good~!"

Li Zexuan nodded in agreement, and was about to leave with Wang Renbiao, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yu behind him said coldly: "Yong'an Hou, is there still your cargo on the Wang family's sea ship?" ”

Li Zexuan didn't know what Xiao Yu meant, so he turned around and replied: "Exactly, before the imperial fleet went south, the kid Tuo Renbiao helped transport some goods back from the Nanyang side!" ”

Xiao Yu twisted his beard and smiled: "Hehe~! That's just right~! You asked the students of the academy to come over to help settle the accounts, and the old man just let your goods dock in advance, so it will be regarded as a reward! ”

Hey, Li Zexuan smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to open the back door for him, so it would save him from waiting on the dock for half a day!

"Haha! Then thank you Xiao Ge for being old! ”

Li Zexuan thanked Xiao Yu, and then followed Wang Renbiao onto the boat and headed towards the Wang family's main fleet.

……………………

"Xiao Xuan, come and see, is this the rubber you need?"

The boat rowed nearly a mile downstream along the Bahe River before coming to the Wang family's fleet, which shows how many boats are queuing up to dock, if Xiao Yu hadn't opened the back door for Li Zexuan, at this speed, he would really have to queue for an afternoon. Boarding a building boat, Wang Renbiao said to Li Zexuan behind him.

Li Zexuan responded, his heart was full of expectations, there are many industrial products that need rubber to be made, he needs this thing very much!

A man who looked like a steward on the ship led the two of them into the cabin, and they saw that the huge cabin was full of rows of barrels.

"Childe, Master Hou, this is the rubber we transported back from Nanyang, you two have seen it!"

The guide, hunched over, smiled at Wang Renbiao and Li Zexuan.

At this time, Li Zexuan couldn't care about being polite to others, he came to a wooden barrel with an arrow step, opened the lid of the barrel with his hands and feet, and saw that it was filled with a bucket of white glue-like liquid, and when he smelled it carefully, he could smell a faint fragrance, isn't this natural rubber or what? Oh no, it should be called natural latex!

In his previous life, when Li Zexuan was in college, one of his college classmates opened a factory at home, which happened to make latex pillows and latex mattresses. The rich second generation generally likes to show off, and in his sophomore year, he invited everyone in the class to visit their factory.

That was the first time Li Zexuan saw what the so-called natural latex was, and it was also that visit that let Li Zexuan know that the real pure natural latex does not have a pungent smell, but will have a faint fragrance.

"Xiao Xuan, how is it? Is this the rubber you need~? ”

Wang Renbiao saw Li Zexuan staring at the inside of the barrel, not speaking for a long time, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"Yes, yes, that's rubber, that's the rubber I need!"

Li Zexuan came back to his senses from the chaotic thoughts, and his voice was extremely excited, "Renbiao, this time it's really thanks to you!" I just don't know how much rubber you brought back? ”

From his voice, he actually heard a trace of expectation, which made Wang Renbiao a little surprised, you must know that the young man in front of him is in a high position at a young age, and he has a lot of property, it is really difficult to understand that he still has something to look forward to.

Wang Renbiao looked at the steward beside him and motioned for him to answer the question.

The middle-aged steward didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand at Li Zexuan: "Back to the Hou Ye, we found that the rubber island, the island is full of rubber trees, we filled twenty boats, but none of them were loaded, but in order not to fall behind, we only transported twenty boats of rubber back, and each boat was about 50,000 catties!" ”

Each boat is 50,000 catties, and twenty boats are... That's a million pounds!!

Li Zexuan's breathing suddenly became a little short, one million catties, that's more than five hundred tons! Get rich! Get rich! In Li Zexuan's mind, there are only three words now, that is, to get rich! Such a huge amount of rubber is enough for him to do a lot of things.

"Great! Renbiao, I won't say much polite words, but I have written down this affection! I'm going to have the money delivered to your house now, and you can have the boats go straight upstream for another three miles, and that's the new workshop of the Wonder Pavilion, just move the rubber there!" ”

According to the initial agreement, if the Wang family's fleet found rubber in Nanyang, then Li Zexuan would need to spend 400 guan to buy rubber for each ship, of course, these 400 guan can be regarded as a friendship price, because if you can transport a boatload of spices from Nanyang or something, it will definitely be more than 400 guan. The main reason is that Wang Renbiao was looking for Li Zexuan to buy a large number of compasses to ensure the safety of the navigation of the Wang family's fleet, which can also be said to be an exchange of interests!

"Hehe, Xiaoxuan, you're polite~!"

Wang Renbiao replied with a smile.

At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, after such an incident, the relationship between the Wang family and Li Zexuan became even stronger, this is worth more than anything, after all, the young man in front of him became the founding marquis before he was fifteen years old! Its future achievements are simply immeasurable!

Out of the cabin, Wang Renbiao instructed the steward on the ship to start sailing, directly bypassing the ships lining up in front of him and marching towards the dock.

Such a blatant act of cutting in line will of course anger some people, but after seeing that this is the merchant ship of the Taiyuan royal family, most people shut up, and the name of the five surnames and seven wangs is not covered. At that time, there were also people who were not afraid of the Taiyuan royal family, but after those people saw Li Zexuan on the bow of the boat, they also hesitated.

In a short time, a flotilla of twenty ships laden with rubber was at the front and began to dock.

Xiao Yu was a man of his word, and he had already sent officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to wait on the dock to count the total value of the goods on board.

Maybe Li Zexuan has now been promoted to the marquis, or maybe Li Zexuan sent someone to set up a shed for the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the dock, and also sent ice cubes and ice water.

It's just that in the face of the barrels of white gelatinous liquid on the ship that they have never seen before, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who came to contact couldn't help but be difficult, how to value this thing, and how much tax should be charged~?
