Chapter 743: The Age of Discovery (Subscription Requested) (Page 1/1)

The winter day is still very hot, and when the sun is full at noon, people choose to rest in the shade. Even the strictest slave owners let their slaves rest, with only one exception.

The trading floor was bustling with merchants speaking various languages, some chatting and some pointing to the trading board.

They endure the heat and are reluctant to leave, and the trading board seems to have a magical power that draws the merchants here.

As the group of merchants exchanged ears, a man ran into the trading hall and whispered softly beside a fat-headed, big-eared merchant.

A merchant not far from him craned his neck to listen, and his face changed dramatically when he heard the words. The two men got up almost simultaneously and walked under the trading board, one of them getting up too violently and knocking down the table in front of him.

The businessman didn't care about the table that was brought down, took out a gold yuan coupon from his cuff and left it in his hand, saying as he walked: "Compensation for damaged things!" ”

The two of them came to the trading board almost at the same time and said in unison: "Sell all the gems in my name, and sell them for silver, as fast as possible!" ”

The staff on the trading floor quickly gave them the formalities of selling the gems, and the two pieces of information about the sale of gems were hung on the trading board.

Several businessmen couldn't help laughing when they saw the actions of the two: "Lao Li, Lao Liu!" You two have made a lot of silver dollars, and it's hot! I was hoarding gems yesterday, so why am I in a hurry to dump the goods today! If you don't stock up, we'll laugh at it! ”

The businessman surnamed Liu clenched his fists and said, "This is not the shopkeeper Zheng!" Lao Liu, I have something at home, and I am anxious for a silver dollar turnover. If you are interested, you can eat the little brother's goods! Little brother is grateful here! Appreciate! ”

It wasn't until Liu and Li's goods were divided up that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The merchant surnamed Li escaped from his cuffs, took out a roll of golden yuan coupons, took out two and handed them to the young man who reported the news, and said, "This is yours!" If there is news in the future, run faster, you will have the benefit of silver dollars! ”

The young man took the golden yuan coupon with a thousand thanks, and as soon as he turned around, the businessman surnamed Liu also stuffed two golden yuan coupons: "If there is news, I will also tell Lao Liu, we are not stingy people!" ”

One piece of news earned two silver dollars, and the young man smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth. He had already seen clearly the number on the gold yuan bills, they were all one hundred silver dollars, and he couldn't earn so many silver dollars in a year.

While a few of them were talking, a few more people rushed into the trading floor from outside. After these people came to the trading floor, the trading floor completely blew up the temple.

The merchant who had eaten Liu and Li's goods just now glared angrily and shouted at them: "You two dare to tamp the goods!" You wait for Lao Tzu, this matter is not over! ”

The merchant surnamed Li said unhurriedly: "How can you say that the transaction you are willing to do is a yin person?" This is a trading floor, and you don't dare to go wild here! ”

"You! ~Good~Good~Good! The thirteen of us have silver dollars, isn't it just a boatload of precious stones! You can still eat it, and you two don't want to touch the gem business again in the future, otherwise you will wait for us to take revenge! The man said angrily.

Liu Li and Li were obviously weak, but they glanced at each other, stiffened their necks and said, "Then we'll see!" See who is unlucky at the end! ”

As this scene happened, a piece of news soon spread throughout Manchuria, then spread to the coast of Daming, and finally spread to every place under the rule of the Changxing Army.

A ruthless man named Qian Bing spent 100,000 silver dollars to buy a smuggling license and robbed the legendary Gem Island. Not only did they bring back a large number of precious stones, but they also brought back more than a dozen large ships of goods from various countries.

The gems they brought back were as much as gravel, and the price of the outrageously expensive gemstones plummeted, and now even some well-to-do families can afford to use them.

During this time, people were discussing one content, that is, how many silver dollars did Qian Bing and his party make? I am afraid that only by pulling a boat can I carry so many silver dollars, and Qian Bing, an unknown shipowner, has suddenly become an example in the hearts of those who yearn for the sea.

In the city full of thorns, Qian Bing comfortably soaked in the hot pool. Lying in the warm water, he moaned comfortably. There were also two stunning Persian slave girls waiting to take a bath, a kind of enjoyment that he really couldn't imagine before.

This trip to Ceylon earned him silver dollars that he would never spend in his lifetime, and once he relaxed, he felt tired. Maybe it was the battle at sea for a while, maybe it was the long string of silver dollar numbers in the bank.

For some reason, the relaxed Qian Bing had an unprecedented emptiness. Maybe it's been too long since you've been away from home! Qian Bing could only comfort himself like this.

At this time, a maid came to Qian Bing's side and said, "Master Qian! There are two merchants out there who want to see you! ”

……

Qian Bing sent the merchant away, and his eyes were full of light again. When he came to Li Wei's residence, he saw Li Wei sitting alone in front of the door.

Li Wei grabbed the wine jug beside him and poured it violently, and threw it to Qian Bing. Qian Bing took the flask and was not polite, and raised his head and poured a large sip of spirits.

A sip of liquor went down to his stomach, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest. It's still the same taste, a few copper plates can buy a pot of burning knives.

"If the wine isn't good, just let it go! I have donated all the silver dollars you gave me to the school, and I hope that our descendants can live a life without worrying about food and clothing! Li Wei said as he took the flask and took a sip.

Qian Bing snatched the wine jug and said, "Don't drink it all, you kid, leave some for me!" ”

Li Wei didn't speak, and looked at Qian Bing with a smile.

"Let's go to Jeju Island in three days, and the eldest husband will have to do something vigorous in his life. The conquest of India is a good option, you say? ”

They don't know how many people with seafaring dreams have been inspired by their success, and these people flocked to Taiyuan Island with the help of merchants.

What the? 100,000 smuggling permits, it's okay, let's bring gold yuan coupons!

What the? How expensive is the modification of the battleship and the artillery? It's okay, let's bring a golden yuan ticket!

What the? The value of a good sailor has risen many times? It's okay, let's bring a golden yuan ticket!

An unprecedented craze for navigation is surging along the coast of Daming, and people set foot on the vast sea with hopes and dreams to explore those unknown seas.

Some may be gone forever, but that doesn't stop people from loving the sea. What's more, everyone who buys a smuggling license is given a sketched chart, so that they don't blindly sail to the uncharted seas.

This map has the capture of the Changxing Army from the Allied forces, as well as the memories from Zhang Dou. A lot of the stuff in it is imperfect, and it takes generations of seafarers to make it a true map of the world.
