Chapter 398: Female Pirate
Zhen Qian doesn't care what Fujiwara Shuxiong thinks in his heart, whether he admits it or denies it, there are some things that he can't obstruct, just like now Jianzhen is doing things for those Japanese people who were killed by himself.
This is the second time in the past three days that Jianzhen has chanted for the dead, the first time is for the Tang and Japanese people who died in the storm, in the eyes of the monks, all beings are equal, even kicking an ant to death is a sin.
The storm is very guilty, the monk has no place to reason, he killed those Japanese people who are ready to rob the merchants, and the monk has no place to reason, just said that Zhen Qian is creating evil.
Zhen Qian wanted to argue with Jianzhen, but when he saw the monk's pious appearance, he swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.
At this time, I really want the monk to find Shao Er Dongshang, it is best to let the young Er Dongshang put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha, and even do not doubt that when the butcher's knife is cut on the monk's neck, the monk's face will also have a warm smile.
Those merchants had been sharpening their knives for a long time, and they were excited at the thought of being able to get an island as a transit point for future business with the Japanese kingdom, and regretted why they hadn't thought about such a thing before.
There are too many uninhabited islands in the sea, and of course not all of them can be inhabited, and there must be plenty of fresh water on the pirates who can live on them, which determines that the number of inhabitable islands is not much.
However, these merchants don't need too big an island, just like Zhen Qian said, after having an island, the maritime merchants who trade will become the merchants of the Japanese Kingdom.
There is a big difference between the merchant and the businessman, if it is in the territory of Datang, the merchant will walk the Quartet to sell the goods for thousands of miles, and the profit earned is naturally large, but the general merchant will not sell the goods directly, but sell through the local businessman, so that the amount of sales will be very large, and the turnover of funds will be very fast, but the merchant is very lucky, and the information must be timely, and the pulse of commodity prices needs to be accurately grasped in the ever-changing market.
Usually, the advantage of the merchant is very obvious, and he can easily determine the price of a certain kind of goods in a place, and he is the maker of the price of goods, and his status is higher than that of the merchant.
However, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of maritime merchants in the Japanese country, and the price of goods is determined by both supply and demand, and in the case of constant quantity, the greater the demand, the higher the price, and vice versa, the price will decrease. Maritime merchants naturally know this truth, but the price of goods sometimes depends on the game between supply and demand, maritime merchants will transport goods to the Japanese country, itself has invested a lot of human and financial resources, to the Japanese country but it is difficult to know how much the demand of the Japanese country is, the Japanese country will sit on the neck of the maritime merchants, the maritime profits are the lowest, because the Japanese merchants clearly know that these maritime merchants will not bring the goods back, this is the biggest weakness of the maritime merchants, the maritime merchants in the game with the Japanese merchants suffered many times, It's not that these maritime merchants are not smart, it's that they simply can't break free from the shackles of unfair trade around their necks, and this situation persists even after a thousand years.
There are many ways to solve this dilemma in later generations, one of which is to set up the company's office in the other country, zero distance contact with market changes, and get rid of the local businessmen to control the pricing power of goods.
It's a pity that many methods in later generations are not suitable in the Tang Dynasty, and the boat crossing the sea can make people crazy, even if the Wa State opens the country to the Tang Dynasty maritime merchants, these merchants cannot control the market of the Wa State, which is the inevitability of history.
After Zhen Qian proposed to lease the island, this time it seemed to be a perfect solution, no matter how many goods the maritime merchants transported at one time, they could be sold at the most suitable time, and there was no risk of cross-sea transportation, and the maritime merchants also seized the right to speak in the pricing market of the Japanese country.
This is a trick to solve the contradiction between the transportation and time of the goods, these things do not need to be explained by Zhen Qian at all, these businessmen understand it with a roll of their eyes.
Zhen Qian didn't know if these merchants would copy this method to other countries, such as Silla, Balhae and Cochin, so that one day the footsteps of the Tang people would involve the five oceans of the world.
Doing business in the ocean is often accompanied by force, and the sailors under these merchants know at a glance that they are not good people, and there are not many good people who go to sea to do business in this era, so they do not doubt the combat effectiveness of the sailors under these merchants at all.
When Qingyan came out of the tent, when he saw the sailors under the merchant take out the weapons from the box, a pair of eyes were about to pop out: "Lang Jun, what's the matter, is there going to be a war?" ”
Zhen Qian was lying on the folding chair on all fours, and when he saw the light smoke of the ******** dangling in front of him, he had an urge to press her to the ground.
"Have you ever killed someone?" Zhen Qian asked lazily.
"The concubine doesn't even dare to kill the chicken, didn't Lang Jun see it?" Light smoke stood there, the sea breeze blowing through her hair, and her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, as beautiful as a fairy who was not contaminated with wind and dust.
Zhen Qian sneered: "I really didn't see it, I almost died in your hands yesterday, and now I think about it, my legs and stomach are trembling ......." ”
Generally speaking, nothing good will happen between men and women at this time, and Zhen Qian's shoulder was immediately bitten by a light cigarette, this is not wanting to be reasonable!
"Lang Jun, why do you always look at the concubine like this? Is there a flower on the concubine's face? ”
Qingyan was a little embarrassed by Zhen Qian, Zhen Qian pulled the soft light smoke and sighed: "I heard a joke before, saying that after the hero saves the beauty, if the beauty sees that the hero is a beautiful man, she will be shy to come forward and bow down, saying that the hero's life-saving grace, the little woman has nothing to repay, but to make a promise." If a beautiful woman sees the ugly appearance of the hero, she will say that the little woman has nothing to repay, but to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this great kindness. ”
Qingyan rolled her eyes angrily, and mocked: "Lang Jun is praising himself?" When the little woman saw a hero like Lang Jun, she could only throw herself into her arms and hug her, and the concubine was a blessing ...... cultivated in her previous life. ”
The two walked on the beach arm in arm, just like a little couple talking about their hobbies, the clear water lapping the beach, barefoot, the cold sea water flooded the surface of the feet, the sea breeze gently lifted the clothes of the two, and it looked so harmonious under the sparkling back.
"Lang Jun, are you really going to ask for an island in the Wa Kingdom?"
"Your husband's biggest dream is to eat and wait for death, but before that, I was going to travel around the world on a sea boat, have nothing to do with fishing, hunting, play the role of a pirate when I am in a bad mood, and put all the robbed treasures on the island, when I will be the pirate king, you will be the pirate mother-in-law, you say that such a day is not good?"
