Chapter 1,789 No Other Way

Du Lin never felt that he had the talent to do business, so he kept summing up his experience this time when he went overseas.

But all experience has become redundant at this moment.

Forty-one dollars a piece of silk.

What's the price like?

Black heart!

He really feels evil.

The waiter said dissatisfiedly: "Forty-one is too little. We can't make any money. If you are sincere, then give more."

This guy was personally hired by him. He had been to the sea before, but he had never been to Dashi. But now he was seriously angry, making Dulin feel that he had found the wrong person.

"Forty-one..." The food merchant was also angry, but Dulin could see the hypocrisy.

God!

Things that were only worth two guan in the Song Dynasty could be sold for more than 40 guan here.

In the trade along the way, the price of cloth was not low, but most of them were purchased by powerful kings.

But big food is different. Just look at those merchants. Once they make a purchase, they buy it all in one pot.

"Du Yuanwai."

The price has already been agreed upon, forty-three dollars. The waiter looked annoyed and probably wanted to raise the price some more.

Du Lin woke up and said with a smile, "Okay."

So the two parties began to deliver.

Gold and silver can be collected, goods can be exchanged...

"Get rich!"

The friends who went to sea together were going crazy.

Although these guys' life in Sansi is comfortable, how can it be so exciting?

"I never thought that sea trade could make money like this. My previous life was in vain! My life was in vain!"

A former official of the Third Division jumped excitedly in the cabin, and then hit the top of the ship. When he fell down, his eyes turned white.

"Here comes someone!"

The doctor came quickly. After checking it, he smiled and said, "It's just that I was knocked unconscious. It's a small matter."

He stretched out his right hand. The nails had not been trimmed for a long time and were a little long. As long as it's long, it looks like there's a lot of dirt in the nails.

The doctor used his fingernails to pinch the man's penis.

"oh……"

When the man woke up and the doctor finished his work, he stood up and looked at Du Lin.

"Ten dollars."

After Du Lin said this, he was frightened by himself.

Is someone so extravagant?

Just pinch a handful of people and give them ten thousand dollars.

If it were a small problem like this in Bianliang, just ten cents would be enough.

But is someone crazy?

The doctor took ten coins and looked very calm.

One of the waiters said: "Except for Mr. Du, it is risky for these doctors to go to sea with us. If they can't make money, no one will come next time."

Du Lin nodded, looking at the gold and silver goods, he felt his heart burning.

"Who would have thought we could make so much money?"

He looked at his companions and felt that all the depression in his life was coming out.

"I swear, apart from being in Sansi, I have never seen so much money in my life."

The Third Division was in charge of the money bag of the Song Dynasty, and officials often saw huge sums of money.

"That's crazy. This can't be a dream, right?"

Someone pinched themselves.

Amidst the screams, Du Lin said: "We can make so much money, who should we thank?"

"Shen Long Tu."

A companion said gratefully: "Without Shen Longtu, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will be Shen Longtu's lackey in this life!"

"Bah!" Another companion laughed: "How can Shen Longtu like you? Why don't you look at the people who can claim to be Shen Longtu's lackeys."

"Tang Ren, Su Yan...Tang Ren is sure that he will be able to take charge of the Third Division in the future. And Su Yan is a merchant envoy at a young age, and his future is limitless. He can even leave the political hall for a while."

"When the time comes, Shen Longtu will enjoy family happiness at home. Wouldn't it be fun to watch these disciples govern the Song Dynasty?"

"What a pity." Du Lin really felt it was a pity.

After going to sea this time, he really wanted to join Shen An's family.

It's too late!

Someone came in from outside and whispered: "The Marquis asked us to sell out the goods quickly."

"Why?" Dulin smelled a disturbing scent.

The visitor said: "There is a big cannibal watching the fleet at the edge of the pier. The military prince thought... it is best to be careful."

This was very implicit, but Dulin already understood it.

"yes."

The joy of harvest was temporarily put away, and the fleet's trade began to accelerate.

And just at the edge of the dock, Chang Jianren, accompanied by an interpreter, talked to a Dashi general.

"Why didn't our fleet come back?"

General Dashi's opening remarks were not friendly, and could be said to be rude.

Chang Jianren looked at him with cold eyes, and then shook his head.

"What's the meaning?"

General Dashi looked at the interpreter.

The interpreter said helplessly: "It probably means I don't know."

"Tell him that the sea area from the Song Dynasty to this area is safe and there is no need for so many warships to escort him."

General Dashi looked at those warships with a look of envy in his eyes, but he was more alert in his heart.

I remember that a few years ago, when the merchants of Da Shi returned to China, they all looked disdainful when they mentioned the ships of the Song Dynasty.

——The ships of the Song Dynasty cannot be compared with ours. If they could, their merchant fleet alone could destroy their navy.

Such news made everyone in Dashi relax their vigilance. They felt that Da Song was still a good place to provide money, and at least it contributed to Dashi's prosperity.

But last year, a businessman came back and vividly mentioned the great progress made by the Song people in building sea-going ships.

He mentioned a person.

Shen An.

This person is the staunchest supporter of the Song Navy.

But this still did not alert the big eater.

Until now, when he saw those warships, he knew that Dashi was wrong.

Chang Jianren felt that the general was in a trance, "The Song Dynasty conducted sea trade in its own way, and no one can interfere."

Shen An said before he left that if the Great Eater chose friendship, then the Song Dynasty would have an ally in this sea area, but he felt that the Great Eater would choose to fight.

General Dashi nodded, then exchanged a few words and went back.

After the long voyage, the fleet needed various supplies and the warships had to be renovated.

So he is not worried that the Song people will leave as soon as possible.

He set out with three horses and a bodyguard, traveling day and night, and reached the city on the third day.

"I want to see the king."

He hurried into the palace and saw the king enjoying the delicious food.

"The Song people are here."

The king put down the food in his hand, raised his head and said, "This is the first time."

"Yes, in the past our merchants were like carriages on the sea, transporting goods back and forth, but this time the Song people left our merchants alone and came on their own."

The king had a look of irritation in his eyes, "What did they bring?"

General Dashi said: "They brought more than a hundred merchant ships and more than seventy warships, very tall warships."

"Who said that the warships of the Song Dynasty were vulnerable?"

The king lost interest in eating. After pushing away the exquisite plate, he stood up and walked down.

"Tell me what we missed."

General Dashi followed him and said: "We thought that the Song people's ships were very bad and that they were no match for us, so when we saw those warships, we were panicked and at a loss what to do."

The king walked out of the room and reached out to wipe the crumbs from his lips. "In just a few years, the situation has changed like this. Could it be that the people of Song Dynasty have God's help?"

"No, there is just a powerful man named Shen An in the Song Dynasty who is supporting the reconstruction of the navy. It is said that he hired our people to build sea ships with a lot of money."

"Those businessmen who are greedy for money are creating opponents for us!" The king was very angry. "But who can tell me why our students a few years ago are now stronger than us?"

The general lowered his head and said, "The Song people are so smart. Once they get started, they will do the rest by themselves. They will surpass us in a few years."

The king turned around and asked with piercing eyes: "Then how many more years will it take?"

The general's eyes were stern, "In a few years, they will become a behemoth."

"Yes, it's a giant." The king sighed: "And Dashi has lost those trades, do you know what else will be lost?"

"We have lost the opportunity to trade directly with the Song people. From now on, we can only trade in Dashi, and we will lose a lot of money." The general looked into the distance with melancholy. "We lost Baghdad. Those enemies have strong troops and horses. If we lose another large amount of money, we will no longer be able to maintain a strong military. That will be the end."

"Yes, Doomsday." The king clapped his hands, and a guard beside him brought a hot towel. "The towels from the East are very good. I think...it would be better if they were cheaper."

How can it be cheaper?

The only way is to defeat the opponent and let Dashi's ships reoccupy the world's oceans.

Food cannot lose the ocean!

The general understood this and bowed before leaving.

"I don't know if my decision is right or wrong, but we have no other way."

The king behind him had a low voice.

Then he summoned civil and military officials for discussion.

"Our fleet can no longer go east."

Just one sentence made the officials roar.

The king looked on coldly, knowing that these people had reaped huge benefits from sea trade.

Now that the people of Song Dynasty want to control sea trade by themselves, how can they be willing to do so?

"Is the Song army strong?"

asked a civil servant.

A general came out and said proudly: "No, no, no, their army is very weak. The whole world knows that the Liao people in the north have suppressed them for hundreds of years. UU看书www.uukanshu.net There was also a rebellion within them, so In the northwest, that small rebel force has been suppressing the Song people."

The civil servant said: "In other words, except for money, the people of Song Dynasty...have nothing?"

"Yes, your understanding has hit upon the shortcomings of the Song people."

The king nodded, feeling a little happy in his heart.

"The warships of the Song Dynasty have arrived at Dashi. This is an action driven by ambition. If we don't take action, they will think that we are weak, and next time they will land with countless troops."

"Yes, we must decisively eliminate their ambitions!"

These words are nonsense.

The king knows it, everyone knows it.

How could the Song people transport a large number of troops from thousands of miles away?

Just supplies can bring the Song people to collapse.

But eating big requires an excuse.

Now the excuse is there.

He smiled and said: "I know."

This was a signal, and later civil and military officials gathered together to discuss matters.

"You want a sneak attack!"

A civil servant said loudly: "Use kerosene to burn their warships."

"Okay." The generals agreed calmly.

"No, no, no! Why can't those warships be preserved?"

The idea made everyone laugh.

"Yes! The Song people's warships are very tall. If we can capture them, they will be ours. And we can also improve our warships based on their warships."

"good idea."

Everyone agrees with this idea, but how to do it?

"Invite their generals to enjoy the meal, but not too far away so they won't be wary. Then let them get drunk while we take advantage."

The eyes of the civil servants were shining with excitement.

"And bring out all those beautiful women to confuse them!"

…

Good night!
