On the spacious cement road from Tianjin to the capital, there is an endless flow of people.
Since this cement road was repaired and Tianjin became the first city in the Ming Dynasty to impose a sea ban, many industries in Tianjin Port have developed extremely prosperously.
This has also caused this cement road to be extremely busy.
The amount of marine fish transported from Tianjin to the capital every day is extremely large. Four-wheeled carriages are running on the cement road at extremely fast speeds. It takes less than two hours to transport fresh marine fish from Tianjin to the capital.
In addition to marine fish, the most shipped items to Beijing are barrels of cement. Tianjin has a large number of cement plants with large output. They can not only meet the local needs of Tianjin, but also start large-scale external sales. Beijing is currently the largest one. client area.
There are also a lot of people traveling to and from Tianjin from the capital. The dignitaries, officials, businessmen, etc. in the capital have more or less industries in Tianjin.
Like fishing boats going out to sea and merchant ships heading to North Korea, which are currently relatively simple, these are profitable businesses, and naturally they have attracted these predators in the capital early.
And as Zhang Mao, Xu Yongning, and the Zhang brothers, the first batch of crab eaters, made a lot of money, more and more people began to invest in Tianjin.
Every day, there are dozens of luxurious carriages followed by dozens of carriages, and there are also heavily armed escorts or some strong domestic servants escorting them to Tianjin.
These fleets are carrying a large amount of money to invest in Tianjin, or to buy fishing boats to go fishing, or to buy seagoing ships, and to do business in North Korea, or to invest in some other projects in Tianjin. industry.
In short, Tianjin is now becoming more and more a cornucopia. Wealth is constantly gathering here, and more wealth is also beginning to be continuously transported out.
??Silver is only silver when it circulates. Otherwise, it is just a piece of metal buried on the ground of the cellar, with no value at all.
At this time, Tianjin is constantly interpreting this famous saying of Liu Jin.
The cement road is very spacious and very busy. Some people even built sheds or thatched houses next to the cement road. They sell tea, food and the like here. The business is also very hot because of the people coming and going. There are simply too many.
Aunt Fan is one of the many people who do business on this cement road.
She is from a village near the cement road, and her home is not far from the cement road, so she also took a fancy to the business on the cement road early.
She is also quite smart, and the land beside the road belongs to her family, so the family worked hard for more than ten days to level the land, and then paved it with cement from Tianjin, right on the roadside. A tea shed was set up, selling tea as well as some noodles, steamed buns and the like.
¡°Boss, here are ten steamed buns, a pot of tea, and a bowl of noodles, the kind with soup.¡±
"Okay~ Sir, please wait a moment."
"Boss, let me bring you a pot of tea and Longjing~"
"Okay~"
Aunt Fan¡¯s shop is very busy, and from time to time there are passing customers stopping to drink tea, have something to eat, and have a rest. Aunt Fan can¡¯t handle it by herself, so she also brings her whole family over.
Aunt Fan¡¯s son became the waiter in the shop and was responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks. Her boss became the owner of the shop and was responsible for settling accounts and collecting money. As for her daughter-in-law and unmarried daughter, she was responsible for helping make steamed buns, cooking tea, etc. in the kitchen. , the whole family has to be busy from morning to night, and the business is extremely hot.
"You don't know, a few days ago, a fishing boat in Tianjin caught a whale."
"This whale is as big as a house over there, and it's several feet long. I was at the Tianjin port at the time, and there were more than a dozen butchers on site dismembering this big whale."
"The whale's oil is cut off in barrels. The oil on one whale can be as much as the fat of thousands of fat pigs. And the meat of this whale is like beef, bright red, bright red. The body of this whale The meat is equivalent to the meat of hundreds of cows"
In Aunt Fan¡¯s tea shed, a customer was telling a story about the big whale he saw at Tianjin Port. His voice was loud enough for everyone in the tea shed to hear.
Hearing that there was such a huge whale, it immediately became the focus of dozens of people in the entire tea shed. Everyone couldn't help but look over and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
??Now, it can be sold for five hundred taels of silver, so it must be very valuable. "
Someone else said.
"No, whale skin is very valuable. The skin that can be peeled off from this whale is very large and can be cut into many pieces. The skin of that whale was sold for several thousand taels of silver in total."
Chen Laoshi smiled and shook his head.
"Chen Laoshi, can you stop showing off what the hell is going on?"
Someone said impatiently.
¡°The most expensive thing on this whale is the whale¡¯s baby~¡±
Chen Laoshi smiled and said.
"Hahaha~"
When everyone in the tea shed heard this, they couldn't help laughing immediately, and the middle-aged man in unusual clothes also smiled slightly.
"Ahem, don't laugh, everyone, don't laugh, I'm telling the truth."
"This whale is very big, and its baby is also huge. It is two or three feet long and as thick as a bucket. It is said that this whale's baby can make men become more powerful. It is even said that it can make all the father-in-laws in the palace. It was brought back to life, so this thing aroused fierce competition on the spot, and was finally sold for a sky-high price of five thousand taels of silver."
Chen Laoshi looked at everyone and kept making gestures so that everyone could clearly understand the size of the whale baby, and then even boasted about the magical effects of the whale baby.
"It may be true that it makes people proud, but it brings the father-in-law in the palace back to life. Is it too much?"
Someone thought for a while and said.
"Who knows, maybe it can be done. No matter how big the treasure is, this whale is probably the only one in the world. Maybe it can really bring the father-in-law back to life in the palace."
"Isn't it possible? It is said that the father-in-law in this palace has been cut off. Can he still be regenerated?"
"This is a whale, maybe it can be pointed out."
"You think this whale's baby can really make people proud?"
"Do you need this?"
"Of course, as a man, the more powerful the better, right?"
"Haha, yes~ yes, but this thing is precious, five thousand taels of silver, we ordinary people have no chance to enjoy it."
"Yes, it's too expensive."
After everyone listened, they also discussed with each other, and they all vaguely felt that it really had such a miraculous effect.
"Does this whale's treasure really have such a miraculous effect? ??Five thousand taels of silver is not expensive at all. I don't know how much silver it will cost when it is shipped to the capital."
"The father-in-law in the palace and the dignitaries in the capital will buy some at all costs."
The middle-aged man in unusual clothes thought the same thing when he heard this.
Then he thought about it and asked Chen Laoshi again: "Mr. Chen, are these whales also caught by fishing boats?"
"My Lord, this whale hunting requires the use of a specialized whaling ship. Normal sea fish are caught with nets. This whale is hunted with a harpoon gun. Ordinary fishing boats have no way of hunting this whale. Yes, the whale is too big."
Chen Laoshi asked with a smile, then looked at the carriage that the noble man came with and said: "If the noble man is going to invest in Tianjin, it is also a good deal to buy a few whaling ships to go out to sea to hunt whales. It is said that the whale finally It was sold for thirty thousand silver coins."
"This is just a whaling ship, with hundreds of crew members going to sea in less than three days."
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your suggestion, I will consider it carefully."
The well-dressed middle-aged man nodded to express his gratitude. He actually went to Tianjin this time to look for opportunities to make a fortune, so he brought a lot of money with him.
Because when I heard Chen Laoshi talk about this whale, I also saw a business opportunity, so I kept listening.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. There are many profitable businesses in Tianjin. In fact, the most profitable business is setting up a fleet to go to North Korea. It is said that a round trip costs one million taels of silver. If it is not enough, the ship to North Korea is also very expensive. , they can only be purchased here at Tianjin Shipyard.¡±
Seeing that the other party respected him, Chen Laoshi also smiled and told the situation in Tianjin.
"Earn a million taels of silver from one round trip?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened again, even this middle-aged man. Such a huge profit was really amazing. It felt like the silver was as good as copper coins.
"Hey yo~hey yo~"
At this moment, a burst of neat chanting came from a distance. As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately followed the sound and looked over.
I saw an extremely large team trudging forward on the road from Tianjin to the capital. There were hundreds of shirtless and sweaty people in front of them, struggling to drag a huge thing.
This behemoth is very big, like a house, and looks like a big fish from a distance.
"This is the whale, this is the whale~"
Chen Laoshi widened his eyes, and then said excitedly to everyone in the tea shed.
