In the Hyogo-notsu Port of the Japanese Kingdom, in Akamatsumaru's mansion, Akamatsumaru entertained distinguished guests from the Ming Dynasty with good wine and delicious food. The dishes were delicious, the wine was drunk three times, and there were beautiful women in the company. Everyone chatted and chatted. Naturally, the more we chatted, the more involved we became.
Du Mingen wanted to know something about the situation in Japan from Akasatsumaru, and Akamatsumaru also wanted to know about the Ming Dynasty from Du Mingen.
Although the Japanese country often had contact with the Ming Dynasty, it could not be compared with North Korea after all. The Ming Dynasty and North Korea were connected by land, but not with the Japanese country. In addition, the road was far away and communication was inconvenient, so the transmission of information was naturally more difficult. slow.
"I didn't expect that there is a place like Huanghuangzhou at the end of the sea to the east of our Japanese country. The Ming Dynasty is worthy of being a superior country, and there are actually experts who have visited this Huanghuangzhou."
Akamatsumaru heard Du Mingen talk about the Golden Continent and the huge world outside the Ming Dynasty. This surprised all the Japanese people present including Akamatsumaru, Kamigetsu Ichiro and others.
The Japanese people naturally know the sea to the east of the Japanese country very well. It is not that the Japanese people have tried to explore this sea, but they have never been able to know where the end of the sea is.
Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty knew first that at the end of the sea to the east of Japan was the Golden Continent, a place full of gold.
"The main reason why we went to Golden Continent is for high-yielding crops. Although our Ming Dynasty is a superior country with abundant resources and abundant people, there are frequent famines and people are hungry all over the land. Our Emperor, the Ming Dynasty, loves the people like his own son. I heard that this gold There are high-yield crops in the continent, which also makes us go to the Golden Continent.¡±
Du Mingen said with a smile, then thought about it and asked, "I wonder how the situation is in your Japanese country?"
Akamatsumaru listened quietly. Now when he heard Du Mingen asked about the situation of the Japanese country, he sighed slightly and said: "Since the Onin Rebellion, the shogunate in our Japanese country has lost control of the daimyo in various places. Now all the heroes have joined forces to compete in the world. , the situation of our Akamatsu family is not optimistic, and the surrounding daimyo are all eyeing us."
He has nothing to hide from Du Mingen, because in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty has no thoughts about the Japanese country at all. The Ming Dynasty occupies the Middle-earth Divine State, and its abundant resources, treasures, and outstanding people are far beyond what the Japanese country can compare with.
Not only was the land of the Japanese country small, earthquakes often occurred, the land was extremely barren, and it was surrounded by the sea. There was little room for development, and there was no comparison with the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he is not worried about what Daming will think of Japan after he knows the situation of Japan. In his opinion, even if Japan gives it to Daming, Daming may not accept it.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Japanese country, and the relationship between them has always been good.
Du Mingen listened carefully and got a general idea of ??the situation in the Japanese country. The power of the Muromachi shogunate was weakening, and daimyo from various places were rising one after another. As for the nominal Japanese emperor, he had always been a mascot and had no substantive power. The famous names in various places are not like Japanese emperors at all.
This is an era when heroes rise together, and it is also the beginning of chaotic wars.
Knowing this, Du Mingen felt confident in his heart. This must be a good thing for the daimyo, because the Japanese country is in chaos, which means that if you come to Japan to do business in the future, you will have more opportunities to make money.
The banquet lasted until very late, and then Du Mingen stayed directly at Akamatsumaru's residence. Akamatsumaru entertained her very thoughtfully in every aspect.
This is not only because of the glass jade horse given by Du Mingen, but also because of Du Mingen's identity. Of course, as a member of the Chisong family, he is also thinking about the Chisong family.
The Akamatsu family occupies the fertile land of Harima Country, and other daimyo around them are eyeing Harima Country. However, Harima Country is not very powerful, and the surrounding daimyo are all powerful daimyo, all of them are ambitious and want to replace them. The Muromachi Shogunate became the new ruler of Japan.
Under such an environment, the Chisong family has been committed to continuously growing its own strength. Du Mingen in front of them comes from the Ming Dynasty. If they can get external support from the Ming Dynasty, the Chisong family can stand more firmly.
Although this possibility is unlikely, entertaining Du Mingen doesn't cost much. It's nothing more than good wine, good food, and a few women. For the Chisong family, who are landowners, this is nothing at all.
In the room where Du Mingen was resting, Du Mingen was already seventy percent drunk and was used to, there is definitely no problem buying three million taels of silver.
"Hehe, there is this number~"
Tian Erniu smiled, extended a slap and said.
"How many are there?"
Du Mingen looked at it, widened his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said.
"Of course, Mr. Du, you may not know the situation in the Japanese country. Although the Japanese people are short and poor, there is a lot of silver and gold here."
"Especially in the Japanese country, there is a lot of gold. When many people buy glass products from us, they pay directly with gold. In our Ming Dynasty, the ratio of gold and silver is one to ten, but here, the ratio of gold and silver is The ratio is only one to five, so I collect gold here as much as possible."
Tian Erniu nodded and said.
Hyogo-no-jin is the largest port and material distribution center in Japan. Merchants from all over the country are gathered here, as well as the caravans of daimyo from all over the country. In addition, it belongs to the most fertile Kanzhong area in Japan, so it can be said to be the richest place in Japan. .
This is also the reason why the glass products brought here by the fleet can be sold out so quickly. Not only because the glass products are very rare, but more importantly, there are many wealthy businessmen and ships from all over the Ming Dynasty gathered here. Team and so on.
If it were in another place, even if this glass product was rare, if it was too expensive, it would definitely not be possible to sell it for so much money.
"It seems that what Mr. Liu said is right. This Japanese country is rich in gold and silver, and the Iwami Silver Mine is probably true."
After listening to Tian Erniu¡¯s words, Du Mingen thought for a while and nodded.
"No, I didn't expect the Japanese people to be so rich. There is a lot of gold and silver. This time we made a lot of money. We sold it for five million taels of silver, and a large part of it was still gold. "
"When this gold reaches our Ming Dynasty, its value is even higher. Calculating it, we can earn millions of taels of silver just from the price difference."
Tian Erniu nodded with a smile on his face. Now he has seen what it means to make money. Think about how he used to dig food in the land, not to mention these millions of taels of silver, and boxes and boxes of gold. , he has never seen even a piece of silver.
The gap between people is actually not big. No one is stupider than anyone else. The key is to know more and see more.
After a trip to Japan, Tian Erniu knew that he could make a lot of money just by taking advantage of the huge exchange difference between gold and silver between Japan and Ming Dynasty. What's more, if he brought some goods with him, he would be able to make a round trip. The profits from traveling to the Ming Dynasty and Japan were astonishing, at least one million taels of silver would be earned.
"Look at your potential, you only have five million taels of silver. We have just set off not long ago. This Golden Continent is full of gold. When we arrive at Golden Continent, we will bring back this boatload of gold. It¡¯s just a big deal, this small amount of money is nothing at all.¡±
Du Mingen looked at Tian Erniu, smiled and said.
He now understands the huge profits of sea trade, and he finally understands why these big families and gentry in the Jiangnan area are desperately trying to get the imperial court to impose a routine sea ban.
Without it, the profits from sea trade are too great. A trip to Japan will earn millions of taels of silver. These big families, gentry, and merchants who rely on overseas business are all estimated to be as rich as the enemy.
Of course they don¡¯t want the imperial court to open the sea. Once the sea ban is lifted and everyone can go to sea to do business, they will have no way to monopolize this business.
Back then, after listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words at Wangyue Tower, I was thinking of spending money to go to Huangjin Continent. In less than a year, there was no trace of Golden Continent yet.
But Du Mingen has already earned back dozens of times the money he invested in this matter. When the fleet was training, he earned millions of taels of silver from a trip to North Korea, and now he will earn millions of taels of silver from a trip to Japan. .
He is full of expectations for the Golden Continent at this time. He is looking forward to bringing back boatloads of gold from the Golden Continent. That would be satisfying. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
