Chapter 298: The Book of Commerce in Tianzhu (1)
The owner of Zhang Guoan Island immediately isolated the calves they brought back from other buffaloes, and this time and space really relied on their own immunity to resist germs, but most of the buffaloes from the Ryukyus may not be able to resist it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He urgently set up an observation camp disinfection camp...... History does not record any large-scale epidemics in this era, but again, there is no history of its own...... Once there is a scary butterfly effect, I don't know how I died.
Thankfully, there are no surprises so far.
The wood vinegar in the Badaohe area has now been processed and produced on a large scale, and Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, directly asked people to prepare it at a rate of 10 percent, sprinkle it all over the observation camp and disinfection camp, and at the same time sprinkle it at a rate of 1 percent outside the camp.
For a time, the entire Badaohe area was a sour smell of wood vinegar, which was harmless to the human body.
The entire caravan was well cleaned, including the ships of Jacob's merchants from Cotona in Italy.
Jacob, a businessman, is rejoicing in his shrewdness.
He's gained a lot, and once again, it's safe to be with them.
His subordinates told him that along the way, they had repelled at least seven or eight harassments by pirates, and two were particularly dangerous, relying on the courage of Zhang Guoan's warships, and their weapons played a huge role, except for two times to repel the attacks of many pirates, the other small groups were directly scared away.
The merchant Jacob was ready to be equipped with a weapon like his, but he knew that it was not the right time, and the lord of Zhang had suddenly expanded his army to four thousand, and was busy equipping himself with the weapons of his own men.
He obeyed Zhang Guoan's request, for fear that he would make him angry if he was not cautious one day. Drove himself out of the Badaohe area.
Not long ago, two Arab merchants were kicked out by Zhang Island Master for selling fake fine orchid cinnamon, and told the customs that they would never be allowed in.
In fact, the real and fake fine orchid cinnamon peel is very similar at first glance, the color is gray-brown, and the touch is slightly rough. Even the inside is reddish-brown.
But God forbid, the real fine orchid cinnamon has a yellow-brown ring in the outermost extension, which is not found in the false cinnamon, and the fake cinnamon has only some white fine lines on the outside.
In addition, the easiest way to distinguish between real and fake cinnamon is to taste it with your mouth, real cinnamon tastes sweet and spicy, while fake cinnamon is only spicy...... It's easy to say, but it's something that only veterans of spice buying can do.
God prove. Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, is omnipotent...... James, the merchant, recalled the outrage of the venerable and omnipotent Zhang Island Lord......
"You guys are trying to lie to me?! I'm going to smoke you guys!! ”
Really, after beating them up with rattan, they were kicked out of here, and never to do business here again!
So don't deceive the owner of Zhang...... Obey His rules and obey His commands.
When he asked to wash the ships with the water that had been given to them, and even to the sailors, they did not dare to disobey, and the water irritated the skin. But I can hold back.
This time, spices accounted for the majority of the goods brought back by the Tianzhu caravan.
Whether it's pepper, cinnamon or sandalwood, agarwood, frankincense and dipterocarp cloves. They all brought back a lot.
These are all commodities that can make a fortune in the Great Song Dynasty.
For the traditional upper class of the Great Song Dynasty, any moment of life was unacceptable if there was no fragrance, just as there was no Internet in that world......
On the one hand, it is disinfected, and on the other hand, people are allowed to classify the goods into the warehouse, and they are not in a hurry to make a move.
He is more concerned about the itinerary diaries recorded by Wang Zheng and Xiao Er.
Through their diaries. Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, saw that if they went to the Tianzhu area from the south of Liuqiu, and only did a replenishment rest during the trip, their trip would not take such a long time, that is, about half a year, to complete a round trip.
Of course. Such a point-to-point approach is not in line with the business practice of maximizing profits.
He first brought Wang Zheng in, this kid killed too hard, I have to talk about him.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "Why did you hang half of the pirates you caught overseas in the Boni Country? ”
Wang Zheng said: "I want to learn from the Lord's family to hang the Tatars...... Make a name for yourself overseas! ”
For the first time, they were besieged by large-scale pirates overseas, which was inshore and there were many reefs in the sea, and they had to slow down, and at this time, dozens of canoes and several triangular dhows were drilled out at once from behind the large and small islands near and far.
They each attacked several sea ships with ferocity.
Wang Zheng was the captain of the team when he went to Tianzhu at that time, and he immediately commanded the team to counterattack.
No matter how brave and ferocious the pirates were, what they didn't expect was that they couldn't even get close to the ship, and as the grenades thrown by the team exploded on the triangular dhow, they tried to scatter and flee...... At this time, Captain Wang Zheng ordered his team members to put down the swordfish boat and quickly pursue, and not let any of them run away!
As a result, with the cooperation of the sailors, they caught more than two hundred pirates......
In Xiao Er's travel diary, Xiao Er focused on recording the situation in Bo Ni Country.
The current Boni Kingdom is a relatively large country they encountered along the way, and it seems that there are a total of 14 states under its jurisdiction.
The capital is Bonicheng, which is said to have 10,000 inhabitants and relatively developed commercial and trade activities.
Most of the local people are mainly agricultural, and there are two or even three crops of rice, but the yield per mu is not very high.
Dipterocarp is abundant here, and some large merchants have made a fortune from it, and even Song merchants live in it.
The people along the coast boiled the sea for salt, and some made a living by fishing, and in addition to growing grain, some people made rice for wine.
But they all worship Buddha statues, Buddha statues can be seen everywhere, the people are simple and hospitable, and they like to do business.
At this time, the king of the Bo Ni Kingdom liked the commercial goods of the Great Song Dynasty and admired the culture of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that their force is weak, and the entire Boni City is only 200 soldiers...... They were no match for the overseas pirates, and could only be defended by walls as high as two people.
Captain Wang Zheng took the pirates captured overseas to Bomud City, and set up a row of hangers on the seashore at that time.
These pirates come from a variety of sources, including indigenous people, Arabs, and even Bagan people.
Captain Wang Zheng singled out half of the people and announced their crimes, and hanged them on the seashore at that time, frightening the onlookers.
The remaining half of the people, he handed over to the king of the Boni Kingdom to deal with.
The king of the country of Boni, a good Buddha, sentenced them to hard labor.
Wang Zheng said to Zhang Guoan: "Zhang's family...... Later, when I returned to the country of Boni, the road was calm, even if there were pirates who coveted it by chance, but when I saw the style of the sea ship waiting for us, I fled from the wind! ”
Zhang Guoan tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thought...... It's a plane that respects force.
But all he could say was: "Excessive slaughter causes hatred ......"
Wang Zheng said heartily: "I know, I have been on guard for a long time!" (To be continued.) )
