Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Royal Shipping fleet docked at Jeju Island. In addition to a brief supply, more importantly, it unloaded raw silk, satin, cloth, porcelain, pottery, purple clay ware, tea, brown sugar, brown sugar, etc. shipped from Jiangnan  There are even pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as exquisite books mainly Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist classics, novels and other philosophy and art books, which will not contain any content related to science and technology.

    Because all export goods are carefully selected by Mr. Zhao himself.  Each subsidiary company of the group prepares the goods according to the orders placed by the group, and delivers them to Chongming and then delivers them to Xingang by Royal Sea.

    Tamna Chamber of Commerce will accept the goods in full according to the order, and then transfer them to Japan and distribute them to Kyushu Sasebo, Hakata, Hirado, Usuki, Onsenjin, Sakai and other ports.

    In fact, there are now many Li Dynasty businessmen in Xingang City who heard the news and want to take a smooth sailing ship to sell their goods to Japan.  However, the Tamluo Chamber of Commerce will not accept or sell any goods that have not been carefully selected by Mr. Zhao, even if the merchants of the Li Dynasty ask the king for accommodation.

    The Tamna Chamber of Commerce¡¯s argument is that the Celestial Empire is very strict and if they are found to have violated smuggling regulations once, their exclusive trade rights with Japan will be revoked.

    In fact, the Jiangnan Group accounts for 90% of the shares in the Tamna Chamber of Commerce. It is simply a front for Mr. Zhao. When can a front make its own decisions?

    What?  Smuggling it yourself?  Is the water police station in the garrison area just a decoration?  Since this year, several Marine Police Stations have captured more than 200 smuggling ships in their respective jurisdictions, including those from Li Dynasty, Japan, and Ming Dynasty.  No matter which country you are from?  They were all sent to the City Hall Arbitration Tribunal, where the ship's cargo was confiscated for smuggling, and the sailors were sent to hard labor for life.  The shipowner is considered the mastermind, but can be compensated with a huge fine.

    In order to combat smuggling, the Marine Police Bureau has also vigorously promoted to coastal fishermen that there are rewards for reporting - anyone who provides clues about the smuggling ship will be rewarded with one-tenth of the property seized from the ship!  In order to protect fishermen from retaliation, they can also directly deposit the discount into the bank, giving them no worries at all.

    And not only the fishermen of the Li Dynasty, but also the fishermen of Japan also enjoy the same rewards.  Now, there are countless pairs of eyes in the Marine Police District. Many fishermen don't even dare to do anything else, so they look for smuggling boats day and night, so that the smugglers can't hide.

    As long as the report is successful once, they will have enough expenses for the rest of their lives, so why are they still fishing?  Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to go to Xingang City to eat and drink spicy food?

    In short, in this age of navigation, there is no room for free trade. Trade routes must be developed and protected by warships and cannons, and there is no alternative to monopoly.

    ¡° Mr. Zhao can ask Chen Huaixiu to use part of his transportation capacity to carry out domestic north-south freight transportation for Ming merchants. It is already very interesting to only earn a freight fee in this area.  Of course, this is also because of the existence of the Grand Canal water transport. Before the competitors are crushed, capital is always generous and makes people want to call them daddy.

    After the fleet unloaded its cargo, it immediately loaded with gold, silver, copper, sea cucumber, abalone, scallops, shrimp crackers and other seafood products produced in Japan, as well as swords, Japanese satin and other products that were popular among dignitaries in the capital.  There are also Korean ginseng, honey, dried mushrooms, sea dragon, fox, mink skin, deer antler, astragalus and polygonum multiflorum produced in the Li Dynasty.

    In addition, Jiangnan Trading Company will trade with the Portuguese in Ryukyu once a month. Part of the purchased Nanyang and Western goods will also be transported to Tamna and transported by the Royal Shipping to the capital and other places for sale.

    "The East Asia trade network that Mr. Zhao spent a huge amount of money and took several years to build is finally running smoothly. In the first half of this year alone, the total overseas trade volume reached 30 million taels of silver, which has exceeded the peak period of the Nine Families.

    This is despite the fact that Jiangnan Group is burdened with heavy grain and shipping tasks and has a serious shortage of shipping capacity due to the large number of ships and few ships.  When the water transportation task is not so heavy next year, the navigation school will train more sailors to increase the transportation capacity, and the trade volume can be doubled at least.

    ¡°However, the markets of Japan, Li Dynasty, and Ryukyu are still limited after all.  Zhao Hao estimated that if he wanted to increase trade volume in the future, he would have to open up new product dumping placesoh no, emerging markets.  Of course, with Ming's productivity level, it is not that easy to produce excess products in the short term.

    ??~~

    After loading and unloading was completed, the fleet left Jeju Island the next day.

    Before departure, the Jeju Island Weather Station issued a cold wave warning, warning that in the next few days, high winds and waves are likely to cause a sharp drop in temperature.

    Sure enough, two days later, the north wind picked up. Although the Chinese-style sailing ship could withstand winds from all directions, it could still continue northward, but its speed was inevitably greatly affected. It took four days to reach the Chengshantou weather station.

    The sea was very windy and rough, and the ship, which was fully loaded with thousands of materials, was like a leaf, being tossed and tossed by the waves, and it was bumping very hard.

    Mr. Zhao has been pampered this year, and his face looks a little ugly. He seems to be seasick.

    He and Chen Huaixiu stood side by side.Xiwa.

    "I saw him wearing a narrow-sleeved, stand-up collar with a python pattern, a wide belt around his waist, and a wingless black gauze hat on his head. He looked heroic and in a martial spirit.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the old brother¡¯s letter, Zhao Shixi successfully passed the examination of the Ministry of War after entering the capital, and was awarded the title of ¡°One Hundred Households of Imperial Guards¡±¡­ As a rule, such high-ranking officials¡¯ children would not be taught actual errands after taking military positions.  Firstly, the children of high-ranking officials cannot endure hardships; secondly, most of them are incapable of restraining themselves, and joining the army will only cause trouble. Therefore, the Ministry of War would rather let them eat empty pay than cause trouble for themselves.

    But Zhao Shixi was instantly transferred to the avant-garde of the government army accompanying the prince.  This is naturally a good thing Li Chengen did. Last year, Emperor Longqing abandoned the young prince as a guard for the prince.  After more than a year, the young prince has been promoted to a thousand households due to merit.

    What?  What achievements did he make?  He is the emperor's nephew and the prince's cousin. Is this a big contribution?  That is to say, he is still too young, otherwise he would be the governor immediately

    Therefore, the young prince easily transferred Xiwa to the vanguard of the government army to keep him company through the British public relations.

    Originally, my brother was planning to kick Xiwa back to Jiangnan for training, but now he had to give up

    ps. Happy New Year to everyone.  It¡¯s the holiday today, so I¡¯ll just update (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
