Chapter 143: Profiteering Trade

Today's second update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections.

"Oh?" Hearing Wang Hai take the initiative to talk about the purpose of this visit, Zhengliang also immediately became energetic.

"My lord, this time the villain has brought some specialties of the Ming Kingdom, and is ready to trade with the adults," Wang Hai said.

"Okay, my family is also interested in trading with you, so let me see your goods first," Masarashi said briskly.

"My lord, please come here" Seeing that Zhengliang was so refreshing, Wang Hai didn't drag his feet. This time he made a special trip to Luo's house, and Wang Hai still had the purpose of repaying his kindness, otherwise with the popularity of the goods in the Ming Dynasty, they would be completely sold out in Hirado.

The crowd soon arrived in the cabin. Wang Hai first let a slipper open a wooden box, and Zhenghao looked at it in surprise, only to see bundles of filaments neatly arranged in the wooden box. Masahiro casually picked up one of the bundles and rubbed it carefully. It is soft and smooth to the hand, with a plump feel, good elongation, elasticity and soft luster.

"My lord, this is the most popular raw silk in the Wa Kingdom," Wang Hai said.

"What? Is this raw silk? Political conscience was stunned. In my previous life, I usually saw finished products made of raw silk, but I didn't think that I saw real raw silk here today. The people of this era had a fanatical pursuit of the silk products of the Ming Kingdom, and it was indeed an excellent trade goods.

After introducing the raw silk, Wang Hai also introduced some rare goods such as musk, celebrity calligraphy and painting, continuation, Luo, Jinxiu, agarwood, orangutan skin and so on. Except for paying a little attention to the musk, Luo and Jinxiu, Masahiro is not interested in anything else.

"What's that?" Just as Masara was about to discuss the goods to be traded, he suddenly asked in the corner of the cabin with several barrels of material sealed.

"My lord, that's the oil of fire, it's for lighting the ship at night" Wang Hai was stunned by Zhengliang's sudden question, and wondered why this lord was interested in this kind of thing. But he didn't know what to do, but at this moment his political conscience was full of joy. It's an authentic oil of fire. Compared with the black and unpleasant smell of earth fire oil used here at night, this authentic fire oil has the characteristics of not having too much odor, and the fire is large and lasts for a long time, which can not only be used for lighting at night every day, but can even be used in war. In fact, as far back as ancient wars, this oil extracted from oil was put to use. During the Northern Anniversary (578 AD), the Turkic rulers sent troops to surround and attack Jiuquan in Gansu Province, and the local soldiers and civilians ignited the 'fire oil', burned the enemy's siege tools, repelled the enemy, and defended Jiuquan City. In the Later Liang (919 AD), there was a case of putting "fire oil" in an iron tank and firing it to burn the enemy ship.

"Okay, so now let's talk about trading, shall we?" Zhengliang simply said straightforwardly.

"I wonder what kind of goods Lord Lu Dao is going to trade," Wang Hai asked. This time, because it was a temporary idea, Wang Hai did not bring too many goods, so he was faintly worried that the number of goods requested by Zhengliang was too large. In fact, he didn't know that Lu Dao Zhengliang was just a poor ghost now. Except for the 3,000 guan that had just been extorted from the Huzi family and the more than 600 gold, silver and copper coins with a total value of more than 600 guan that had been confiscated from the recent raiders, there were no other coins. In addition to coins, Masara was ready to use bartering for transactions. Now in the warehouse of the Luo family, plus the production of small copper mines on the wild high mountains in recent months and the recent seizure of the strategy, there are nearly 30,000 catties of copper ore. Coupled with the knives and guns that are still relatively popular with the Ming Kingdom, Masahiro believes that both sides of this transaction will be happy.

"I'm going to ask for a lot of raw silk, plus a small amount of musk, Luo, and brocade, and of course it would be nice if you could bring some oil with it," Masarashi said. …,

"Well, the raw silk is six pounds per catty, and the rest of the musk, Luo, and Jinxiu depend on how much the adults want?" Wang Hai frowned and said after thinking about it.

"Hehe, let's do it, we don't need copper coins to settle the settlement, we will directly use copper materials and swords to settle with you, what do you think?" Zhengliang smiled and did not reply to Wang Hai positively, but first explained that the settlement would be made by bartering.

"Okay, there's no problem with this," Wang Hai immediately agreed. Anyway, after they got the copper coins, they also purchased materials on the spot, and they didn't plan to keep the copper coins. After buying copper by yourself, you can also get huge profits by smelting and extracting the residual silver, so why not? Besides, the quality of the current Waguo knives is better, and it is easy to sell them exclusively.

"Now here a pound of silk, the price of five quintals, a load of steel (copper production place) twelve guanwen, a pack of copper can be exchanged for three catties of silk. But as far as I know, a load of copper can be exchanged for eight to ten catties of silk in the Ming Kingdom, and it can be sold for more than 40 to 50 catties according to the Japanese silk price, that is, four to five times the profit. If you buy it with gold or silver, you will also make a profit; Japanese gold ten taels are worth 30 catties, only buy six catties of silk, and the lowest in the Ming Kingdom can also be exchanged for 24 catties to more than 30 catties of silk, according to the price here, it can be sold for more than 120 to 150 catties, which is also four to five times the huge profit. Wang Hai, don't you think your price is a bit high? Although after just two days of acquaintance, Zhengliang has become quite familiar with Wang Hai, but in business, when it comes to the development of the family, I have to talk about the price.

"Hiss" Wang Hai was secretly surprised in his heart, it seems that this young lord has extraordinary knowledge, and even the situation in the Ming Kingdom is so clear. So Wang Hai immediately lowered the price of the goods slightly. In this way, the two sides went back and forth, and finally determined the outcome of the transaction. The Luo family paid 30,000 catties of copper ore, 200 swords, a number of gold and silver, and obtained 600 catties of raw silk, 15 barrels of kerosene, and a number of musk, Luo, and Jinxiu. In addition, Zhengliang also wanted to buy more oil, and Wang Hai also promised to send another 10 barrels of oil after he returned, which was already the limit of what their fleet could provide, and if they provided more, when they returned to Mingguo, there would be no oil lamps to light at night. In the end, the two sides of this transaction can be said to have their own gains.

After the transaction was completed, Zhengliang entertained Wang Hai in Cangshan Castle. After the wine and food were full, Zhengliang ordered the person to hand over two desserts after the meal. One of them is in the shape of a long rod with a golden fruit inlaid with a lala. The other is lumpy and has an earthy yellow body. Although the shape of the two foods is a bit unique, they exude a burst of sweetness from a distance, and you can't help but move your index fingers.

"My lord, what is this?" Wang Hai also saw such food for the first time, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Hehe, this is a specialty unique to this family. The golden one is called corn. The earthy yellow color is sweet potato. It's all sweet things, and today Your Excellency has the honor to taste this delicacy for the first time with me," and after that, Zhengliang took the lead in picking up a piece of corn and showed Wang Hai how to eat it. Speaking of these two foods, they were also brought to Jeong-liang by the women in the lord's mansion Seoul after their first harvest. In the past few days, Zhengliang has been busy with official business, and he almost forgot these things, but he happened to meet guests today, and Zhengliang had an idea and remembered these foods.

It can be said that the emergence of these two foods has greatly improved the lives of the people in the future, and even changed the food structure of the world. Zhengliang planned to sell these crops to Wang Hai, on the one hand, to increase the income of the territory, and on the other hand, to let Wang Hai bring these crops to the Ming Kingdom in the future, and even let these crops be planted. After all, in the current Ming Kingdom, the lives of the people at the bottom are also very difficult, and Zhengliang does not seek to be able to help too many people, but as long as he can help a person get out of hunger, it is also very good. Of course, for the time being, Masahiro still adopted a policy of secrecy, only allowing circulation within the territory and strictly blocking the outflow of these crops.

Wang Hai learned Zhengliang's eating method and tasted the food in front of him, and immediately sighed, he himself was from a small family, and he had eaten such a delicious food there, in his eyes, these foods were only available to large families. Seeing Wang Hai's performance like this, Zhengliang also generously gave him the remaining cooked sweet potatoes and corn, and told him to give some of them to the people from Ming Kingdom to taste. As for why it's cooked? Mainly because Zhengliang has to make a lot of money with these crops first.
