Chapter 1368 How Long Can Da Song Endure? (1st Update)
Chapter 1368
Now, this is the fifteenth time that Tong Guan has gone to sea as the captain, and his target is the mouth of the big river in the east of the Liaodong Peninsula in the north.
It took a few days for three ships of five thousand materials and five ships of four thousand materials to finally see the coastline in the distance, looking at the familiar coastline, with Tong Guan's loud shout, the lookout on the mainmast quickly gave an answer.
The estuary was peaceful, there was nothing unusual, Tong Guan gave an order, led by his flagship, and set off again slowly into the gentle river, against the water to the north, and after walking for nearly two days, he saw a destination hidden in the surrounding mountains and dense forests, only near the riverbank, there was a small clearing, and a simple wharf.
The yellow-green flags that represent safety are still hanging high, and on the pier, someone is waving warmly to this side......
Seeing this scene, Tong Guan finally breathed a sigh of air, and this trip to the sea finally arrived at the destination safely.
After all, the trade between Wanhong Trading Company and the Nuzhi Ministries has always been low-key and hidden, and it is precisely because of such caution that for such a long time, the Liao people have not been aware that the Song State has been secretly trading with the Nuzhi Ministries.
As the big ship slowly leaned on the dock, Tong Guan not only saw the head of the guard, but also saw another acquaintance who had met twice.
The first time was in Bianliang, Tokyo, the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the second time was when he was learning to sail, he once came here with a ship that sailed away and met the boss of the female direct alliance.
"My good brother, I didn't expect to meet you today, that's really good, a few days ago, the wind and waves here have been very strong, I thought you would be late." Di Gubao looked at these majestic ships, and opened his arms towards Tong Guan, who was the first to step off the ship.
And Tong Guan, who is tall and burly and quite brave, also repaid Nadi's enthusiasm in the same way. "Such a wind and waves, how can it be difficult to overwhelm our fleet of Wanhong Trading Company, this time, not only brought you five hundred altars of burning knives, but also brought 20,000 stone of grain, and five hundred pairs of ironclad ......"
"You are really the best brothers of our Women's Alliance, great, with this batch of food, at least our women's children and old people finally don't have to be afraid of hunger anymore." Hearing this, Di Gubao couldn't help but look at each other and laughed out loud with a radiant face.
"However, I don't know if you brought enough things in exchange this time, Lord Di Gubao? You know, although the things that my Wanhong Trading Company gave to you in the Women's Direct Alliance are all friendship prices, business is business, and there is no credit. If it's still like last time......" Tong Guan smiled and said unhurriedly.
Di Gubao smiled a little awkwardly. "Don't worry, this time I have already explained more tribes, they have already prepared enough furs in advance, as well as those treasures that can only be found in the white mountains and black waters. I believe that this time, it will be a very pleasant transaction. ”
"Let's go, let's go over there, all the goods used for trading this time are hidden in the cave over there......"
#####
Tong Guan strode forward with Nadi's old protection, followed by a calculating treasurer and a professional. They are responsible for inspecting and calculating the price, and only after confirming the goods to be paid by the Women's Direct Alliance, Tong Guan will unload the corresponding amount of grain, iron armor, and spirits.
The reason why this place was chosen as the trading location is precisely because it is far away from the sphere of influence of the Liao people, and it was originally a gathering place for a small tribe of Nuzhi.
And those female tribes did not have to carry the goods to be traded, and they could safely trade with the Great Song Dynasty through those areas controlled by the Northern Liao.
In the huge cave, it was already full of nitrate furs that were placed in different categories, as well as those bundles of mountain ginseng, and of course, the gold and silver products they had stolen from the hands of those Northern Liao people.
These are all used to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, with the joint efforts of more than a dozen professionals, it took less than an hour to complete the inventory, and after the value was finally confirmed, Tong Guan bowed slightly to the steward behind him.
Next, it is time to unload and load the ship, which is a lot longer.
Tong Guan and Nadi Gubao came to a small wooden house not far from the cave, where burning knives were already set up, and people were roasting the bubbling game on the bonfire.
"That's right, Master Di Gubao, Tong Mou came here this time, not only to deliver the goods, but also to deliver the letter......" After sitting down, he drained the liquor handed by Di Gubao in one gulp, and felt like a flame burning from his throat to his stomach.
"What letter?" Di Gubao wiped the fat on the corner of his mouth, looked at Tong Guan happily and asked. It's really nice to be able to make a lot of money again in this business.
"Lord Wang asked Tong to tell Lord Di Gubao that from next month, the goods traded with you will be halved, and after half a year, maybe the ......transaction will be stopped."
When Di Gubao heard this, he was stunned, not only him, but also the female warriors around him couldn't help but be surprised.
"What does this mean? Are you Song dogs trying to break the previous agreement?! A female straight warrior couldn't help but change color, viciously pulled out the war knife from the Great Song Dynasty Weapons Supervisor at his waist, and said in stammering Chinese.
And his reaction caused the two Great Song warriors standing behind Tong Guan to fall on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Enough is enough, Atay! You all step down for me! Di Gubao took a deep breath, looked at Tong Guan, who was still sitting there, smiling and playing with his wine glass, with a disapproving look, and quickly stopped the female straight samurai, and let the few female straight samurai around him retreat to the side.
And Tong Guan waved his hand lazily, signaling the guards around him to also take a few steps back.
Di Gubao pulled the corners of his mouth at this time, and said with a smile. "That Brother Tong, could it be that something happened to Song Ting's side? Why did Lord Wang ask you to bring me such bad news? ”
Tong Guan looked at Di Gubao's eyes, and saw the weakness of his heart under this guy's expression, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. "My lord also asked me to bring you a message, has Lord Di Gubao forgotten the covenant between you and my Great Song Dynasty?"
"How is this possible, how can I be the kind of person who goes back on my word." Di Gubao's head shook rapidly.
"So, two winters have passed, why haven't you seen Lord Di Gubao fulfill the promise you made to my Great Song?"
"Don't forget Lord Di Gubao, my Wanhong Trading Company has been doing a loss-making business with Lord Di Gubao, do you think that if you only take money and don't do things, how long can my Great Song endure it?"
