Xia Nan replied: "As long as Futai exempts these maritime merchants from the cost of doing some after entering the city, they are still cost-effective, they will calculate this account, and the rebound should not, even if they are not long-sighted, I am not afraid to be the first bird." As for Zheng Zhilong......" Xia Nan said in a deep voice, "I can not interfere with the river water, but if I have to meddle in my affairs and worry about my Guangdong affairs...... I can kill Liu Xiang, and I will naturally not be afraid of him. "Although the current sea strength is not enough to compete with Zheng Zhilong, he can't lose in terms of momentum, and he has to let the governor have confidence in himself.

Mu Tianyan thought about it for a long time, and finally replied ambiguously: "This official knows, you go back for the time being, let this official think about it." ”

Xia Nan didn't expect that when it came to this, Mu Tianyan was still so hesitant, and was about to persuade him in one go, but Mu Tianyan picked up the teacup.

This is to serve tea to the guests, and if you are entangled, you don't know what to do, Xia Nan swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and got up to say goodbye. When he walked to the door, Mu Tianyan said: "Don't worry about the shipwright and the wood, explain the place where you are staying to the porter, and I will send someone to find you and handle it with my warrant." ”

Xia Nan saluted respectfully and replied, "Xiaguan is waiting for good news." ”

Out of the door of the governor's yamen, the south was blown by the cool breeze in the summer, and his mind cleared up a lot, and he regretted it a little, he was still too anxious. It was just the first time to meet Mu Tianyan, and it was enough to give generous gifts and get closer to each other, and it was an unexpected joy to be able to open a factory, collect timber and shipwrights in Guangzhou, and it would be a bit abrupt to ask for a tax card under the premise that the two sides had not yet established a deeper trust, and it was no wonder that Mu Tianyan was obviously moved, but did not make a decision.

"I'm still too anxious!" Xia Nan rubbed his face, this matter was also a temporary idea, but it was too important, so let's take it slowly.

Back at his residence, Xia Nan was still thinking about the sea trade and the establishment of cards, and he remembered that Murong Longcheng was a maritime merchant, so he asked people to bring him to hear about the situation of the Japanese trade route.

Murong Longcheng Shi Shiran came, although his identity was similar to that of a prisoner, he still had the same demeanor and spotless clothes.

Xia Nan motioned for him to sit down, and asked straightforwardly: "Murong Gongzi claims to be a maritime merchant who runs to Japan, can you tell me about the situation of this route?" ”

Murong Longcheng said happily: "I know everything and say everything, I don't know what your Excellency wants to know?" ”

"What's the best-selling thing in Japan? What goods can be sold back to Daming for profit in Japan? Who has the most influence on this line? ”

"Almost everything that is shipped to Japan can be profitable, such as raw silk, cotton cloth, needles, iron pots, porcelain, fat powder, books, medicinal herbs, ...... The difference is only in the amount of money, but the most demanded and profitable is not raw silk, followed by silk. There are not many valuable goods in Japan, and there are only a few kinds of Japanese knives and fans, so it is better to ship back Japan's copper to make the difference. As for who has the final say on this route, the Dutch red-haired ghost and Zheng Yiguan's forces are very strong, and according to the current trend, Zheng Yiguan has a slight upper hand. Murong Longcheng spoke eloquently.

"Raw silk? Silk? Xia Nan was slightly disappointed, he didn't have this thing, "Is this thing only abundant in Jiangnan?" ”

"If you want to sell it at a good price, it really has to be raw silk and silk from Jiangnan, and it is four or five times the profit of the capital."

"Four or five times?" In the summer, the south eyes are straight. Thanks to the advanced technology and low labor costs, although the profits of cotton cloth and shochu are not low, the market in Guangzhou is only so large, and there is not much room for increasing the share.

"Exactly. Nowadays, the price of raw silk purchased from Jiangnan ranges from about 80 to 100 taels per 100 catties according to the quality, and it is about five or six hundred taels when sold to Japan. ”

400% Profit! Summer stood up and paced back and forth.

This Japanese silver is too easy to earn, but unfortunately I don't have a supply, even if I hire people to raise silkworms and take silk now, if you want to form a scale to generate income, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, not to mention that the climate in Guangdong is hot, which is not suitable for silkworm raising. After walking back and forth a few times, Xia Nan sighed, sat down dejectedly, and continued to ask, "Is cotton cloth easy to buy?" I have that. ”

"Although the profit of cotton cloth is not as good as silk, it is still more profitable than in Daming, the key is that the demand is also large, how much to have!"

"What about wine? Do you drink bars in Japan? ”

"What Your Excellency is talking about is Lingao's self-produced Tianya incense? I've drunk it in Guangzhou, so I can give it a try, but the Japanese are used to drinking sake, which is very light, and this kind of liquor may not sell well. ”

It seems that if you want to open up a trade line with Japan, you don't have a better bargaining chip for the time being, except for the poor cotton. Xia Nan thought about it unwillingly, and tried to ask: "Aren't the Japanese always fighting?" The daimyo fought back and forth, and the shogunate and the feudal kingdom did not deal with each other, so were the guns and cannons easy to sell? ”

"Japan's self-made arquebuses are more sophisticated, called iron cannons, at least much stronger than the bird guns of the imperial court and the official army, the sales of the guns are estimated to be average, but the cannons can be tried, Japan lacks artillery, their big barrels are not used by the Ming army, and they will listen to a sound, and the door franc machine will be called the collapse of the country in the past!"

Xia Nan perked up: "How much can a cannon with 8 catties of guns be sold?" ”

Murong Longcheng remained silent and sold a pass: "It's hard to say this, it depends on what kind of cannon you are, if it's a bulky product, it is estimated that no one will buy it - Japan is not a big place, but there are a lot of people, and the territory between the two lords may be less than a stone's throw away, and the bulky cannon is not flexible and convenient." ”

Xia Nan was about to laugh out loud, this condition was simply tailor-made for mountain cannons.

"I have a small cannon that can shoot 8 catties of cannons, the body of the cannon is only 200 catties, and the effective range is more than one mile. The cannon was so light that it could be carried by five or six people, and if there were donkeys or horses, they could be carried over the mountains and mountains at both ends. Xia Nan introduced.

If this is the case, this small cannon is really much stronger than the Ming army. Murong Longcheng thought for a while: "There are not many cannons sold to Japan, and there is no fixed price. However, I heard that the shogunate bought 5 large snake cannons and 10,000 catties of lead from English merchants and spent 690 taels of gold ......"

690 taels of gold? It is about 7,000 taels of silver, deducting the cost of 10,000 catties of lead, almost more than 1,000 taels of silver and a cannon.

Xia Nan's adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and he gasped and muttered: "More than 1,000 taels of silver and a cannon?" "This is a lucrative deal, you know, the cost of 8 catties of mountain guns produced by the assembly line does not exceed 100 taels of silver. (To be continued.)
