Chapter 593: Taiwan Trade (1)
It is said that the first batch of goods in Hangzhou was persuaded by Guo Beyu to go north to trade with the Japanese State, don't look at the Japanese State there is a period of seclusion and seclusion, but among the eight major merchants, there are families that have a good relationship with the shogunate, although the sea has been banned for so many years, but the relationship and the way are still there; They also did not go south to Macau, where everyone is familiar with the way of doing business.
This time, they all went straight to Taiwan.
No matter where they went, Staff Officer Bao Wei received the first amount of customs silver since he arrived in Hangzhou, but the amount was really small.
He thought, this is the drawbacks brought about by the long-term ban on the sea, but alas, if Hangzhou is big, this little silk fabric has come out, and I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with Quanzhou now......
Later, he learned that he had underestimated the stocks of the major maritime merchants.
At this time, he still had in his hand the war compensation property converted to him by the Maritime Security Brigade, and in this way, he then sent several small packages.
Clear all the blown up city gate areas!
Use all the available bricks to pave the way!
Rebuild the house that was blown up!
Dig all the gutters again!
I cleaned up garbage at a fixed time!
Such a small package of small projects, Hangzhou's plasterers and many laborers expressed their joy to see, people have no use who to organize, manage, even take care of the food, a few days to finish the work.
The first time, Staff Officer Bao Wei issued silver taels on the spot, and specially found a few more Haian marines, this money is not afraid of people robbing, but afraid that they will fight again when they divide the money for a while, in that world, such a thing is afraid that people will die, money is moving, and they all want to take advantage of a small advantage, which is a natural contradiction.
But to the disappointment of Bowie's staff, they did not fight, they really quickly divided the silver in two, and went to the merchant to borrow large scissors to cut the silver, and made a tattered thing like a balance to weigh it.
They can still queue up to receive money......
Staff Officer Bao Wei was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the order that we have slowly established with rattan and labor, you plasterers and laborers, are born with it? Don't be angry with us, the people we meet are all poor.
Staff Officer Bao Wei called the temporary leader over and asked, "Are you really improvised?" β
The man was about to kneel, and Staff Officer Bao Wei immediately said, "Stand up straight and talk to me!" β
The man was taken aback, stood up straight and said, "The little ones are really improvised, everyone has been in this line for a long time, and they all know each other......"
Bao Wei was happy, thinking, look, for them, order can only be based on blood relations and familiar relationships, and nothing to do with Su zhì or something, not a dime.
When the man saw that Bao Wei was happy, he immediately began to sneer and say, "My lord, is there still such a bag?" β
Staff Officer Bao Wei said: "Yes...... Don't worry, just pay attention to the military junta's announcement. β
"My lord, the bigger bags are also made, and there are countless plasterers I know......"
"You are talking like this again...... I'm going to tear down most of these walls now, and I'm going to keep some of them for viewing, can you do it?" β
ββ¦β¦β
For a time, Staff Officer Bao Wei was busy paying close attention to his security work, and from time to time he sent out some small packets; Captain Hou Dongfang was busy building his own logistics base, and he kept delivering goods here from the headquarters; Captain Sun Yu led 1,500 Haian Marines to clean up the hidden dangers of public security on the periphery, you must know that more than 1,000 Tartars ran away in the Tiantai Chaos Battle; As for Captain Wu Hualong's special agent team, he went to the surrounding mountains to suppress bandits, but the plan he reported was to conduct combat drills in the mountains......
In short, there are so many things that can be busy, and no one cares what will happen to that group of businessmen when they go to Taiwan......
But after the caravan in Hangzhou returned from the city of Gelanza in Taiwan, the big families changed.
Originally, on this voyage, where did the person in charge of the family need to go out in person? After all, they are all small or other warehouse bottom goods, real private goods, where do you dare to take them out at once? It's all years of business experience.
But Guo Beyu took the lead in going, with a high-sounding reason, to open another trade route for the Guo family, such a heavy burden can only be picked up by himself...... But actually, he wanted to see the magical, self-turning, seemingly bumpy four-wheeled carriage.
A person's different hobbies can bring a person a different destiny.
Including the time to go and back, plus wandering, it took a total of 3721 days.
But these three hundred and twenty-one days have changed him too much, after all, he has seen it with his own eyes, and the other big families are all operated by a few henchmen, and the transformation of words and the description of the situation all require a certain amount of time to brew and ferment.
But the Guo family doesn't need it anymore, their master, Guo Beyu, directly decided to take the first big bag from before, where did he think it would be like this before!
If you really want to charge for crossing the river for 30 years, you will earn back several times as much as 60,000 taels of silver.
What's more, this investment is a nominee, and my Guo family is tied to your Hantang Group......
Staff Officer Bao Wei and Captain Hou Dongfang looked at each other and smiled, look, what else do you need to do ideological work? People take the initiative.
Staff Officer Bao Wei asked curiously: "Why have you changed so much?" Did you get a car? β
Guo Beyu nodded vigorously and said, "I'll wait for the order!" That Taiwan is really very different......"-
In fact, the ships of these Hangzhou maritime merchants of more than 2,000 stone were forcibly requisitioned by the Tartars earlier.
The fleet that the Tatars sent out to attack when they decided to go south has never been discovered, they have not been seen in the Taizhou area, they have not been seen in the Hangzhou area, and they have not been seen in the Taiwan side...... They seem to have disappeared into thin air.
On the vast sea, not to mention these two or three thousand people, seven or eight wooden boats, even if there are more, what can it be?
This small fleet that disappeared did not attract much attention from the Haian Brigade, or the entire Hantang Group did not take this as one thing, there were too many cases of such loss of contact at sea, and no one bothered about them.
However, this matter must be filed and notified to all commercial stations, and this routine work still needs to be done.
The Hantang Group did not think that the missing fleet would pose any threat to the Hantang Group's maritime trade, and it remained the same.
Hangzhou maritime merchants did not ship much this time, and it was a tentative operation.
They made it all the way to the docks of the city of Geranza, and at that time, everyone's eyes were dizzy.
My god, this place can still be called a dock, more than ten miles long!
Yes, strictly speaking, it should be called the port of Geranza, and they only see a commercial port, and the industrial and fishing ports are a little farther away, and they can't see where they are for a while.
In this 17th century, the most important port in the world was Amsterdam, which was home to the world's largest port and was said to have been able to berth 20,000 ships.
Dutch merchant ships sailed from Amsterdam to the Baltics, North America and Africa, as well as to Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka and Brazil, thus forming the basis of the world trade network.
However, they are calculated by the number of ships, this is not a scientific algorithm, according to the records of the Ming Continent, they often dispatch thousands of warships, please note that they count all the rows.
"So in terms of tonnage, we should be the first in the world!"
After the fourth expansion of the port facilities, Secretary General Yang Youxing held a beer glass in the bar and shouted: "The throughput has reached 10,000 tons a day!" This is the XVII century!! β
Mu Mu technician hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it's not necessarily, Amsterdam has a lot more sources than us, we are now as far as Africa and Persia, we deliberately don't touch the market of small Japan, let them come by themselves, we haven't been to Europe and America yet, your statement is too optimisticββ"
"No matter how many people are in the world, I mean to listen to the people under our management, there must be people who believe it, what is your real name? Can you come up with definite counter-evidence? You take it? β
Technician Mu Mu muttered and said that most of the minerals in this tonnage are from Longyan, Anxi, and Putian in Fujian, and even a whale is counted.
But it was very noisy in the bar at the time, and no one could hear what he was saying.
Director Wu Di said: "Isn't it boring to fight for this? What's the point of fooling people other than fooling people? Xiao Yang deliberately said nonsense, do you believe it too? Hey, you see, Manager Mei Lezhi led Wang Zuxian to club! β
"Who is talking nonsense? Technician Mumu, please have a beer! β
The voice was loud enough that the bar burst into thanks.
Technician Mu Mu felt a pain in his heart at this time, but he had to pretend to be smiling and shouted: "Everyone drink hard, I'm invited." β
Never again with him and beer next time!
The daily throughput is 10,000 tons, which is a remarkable number in the 17th century. However, there are too many industrial and mineral products, and the gold content of this figure has been lowered all of a sudden.
If you count the number of people who read pirated copies, a book should be a good book, but is this a?
The authentic commercial throughput of the Wharf in the city of Geranza is actually not high.
But in this way, it is more than enough to scare the maritime merchants from Hangzhou.
They saw countless ships lowering their sails, anchored at shore bases, undulating under the waves.
The types of ships were different, and at one berth they saw all the big plywood boats, and in the other place they were Japanese boats.
There are dozens of iron towers on the docks, which can be swinged around, and they are lifting something.
There is a long column of objects under the tower, which is carrying goods and is flying away, gods, what kind of divine power are they using?
Just now, when they were about to reach the port, a small boat with no sails and oars and speeding sailed towards them, and there was a loud noise from it.
Everyone hurried to see if the flag of the Hantang Group hanging on their ship was hoisted, which was issued to them by the customs after they handed over the silver for going to sea.
Guo Beyu immediately touched his chest, which contained a trade form written by a young man in the customs, and a bright red seal on it.
Isn't this somewhat similar to the "foreign sea crossing vermilion seal" issued by the Wa Kingdom?
All ships obeyed the order, lowered their sails and stopped.
When the ship approached the largest sea ship where Guo Beyu was, several young students jumped into the sea boat cleanly.
They first looked at Guo Beyu's trade form, then relaxed their expressions, and after a brief inspection, they said: "You go to the Sanshiwu Pier, look at the sign on the crane, there are fewer general cargo ships in the past two days, and there are vacant seats there." β
These young descendants were also dressed in strange ways, obviously similar to those who attacked Hangzhou, except that the style and color seemed to be different.
They left, as quickly as they came.
Guo Beyu and others steered the sea boat to look for the berth of the "Sanshiwu", but fortunately, the iron tower on the pier was hung with a big sign, so that they could find traces.
