Chapter 543: Really Fragrance
Treasure Island. Reading
When Zhao Xu was inspecting Yanguan, merchants from the Black Shark Company gathered here.
On the north side of the island, close to Goryeo, Yang He and Zhou Yi ordered the merchants to build a temporary thatched shed.
The goods from Yanzhou were placed on the long table under the thatched shed, just like a market.
At this time, many Goryeo merchants walked through the gathering, looking for the goods they liked.
Unable to bear the harassment of the Black Shark pirates, the Goryeo court had to agree to the conditions of the Black Shark pirates.
They were recently asked by court officials to go to Treasure Island.
However, the court officials did not force him to buy the goods of the Black Shark pirates.
It seems that they were asked to come just to deal with it.
They also came to Treasure Island with this mentality.
But when they saw the goods of the Black Shark pirates with their own eyes, they were all dumbfounded.
Until now, there are still bursts of exclamations in the market from time to time.
"Ah, I have never tasted such delicious wine in my life. If it is shipped back to Goryeo, the court officials will love it very much."
"This perfume will definitely drive Goryeo women crazy."
"The soap is also very good, and this thing called glass is simply amazing."
"..."
When the Goryeo merchants were talking loudly, they rushed to ask the merchants of Black Shark Trading Company for prices.
Some merchants even gave orders directly, which was very lively.
"It's just that the variety of goods is still too small." Zhou Yi and Yang He said while patrolling the market.
The goods that made the Goryeo merchants crazy were the goods that were very popular in Dasong.
Other ordinary goods from Dasong seemed to have no appeal to the Goryeo merchants.
Yang He nodded and did not deny this.
They occupied the Goryeo market and increased the variety of goods to increase profits.
Then they used the huge profits to buy Goryeo goods.
For example, food, minerals, timber, etc.
In this way, even if Yanzhou's trade in Dasong was affected.
They could also obtain necessary supplies from Goryeo.
"Don't worry about this. The steam engine developed by His Highness and Wang Chong recently is very powerful. His Highness said that Yanzhou will be able to produce more commercial goods soon." Yang He's eyes were full of expectations.
After a pause, he said: "And our Black Shark Company only needs to sell goods to every corner of the world."
Often going to the Political Affairs School to listen to lectures, Yang He, like other government officials, has learned about the world outside Dasong through the King of Yan.
The word world was also mastered at that time.
As a naval commander, Zhou Yi naturally knows this word better than Yang He, and he can't help but yearn for it.
Although his fleet is still active only in the waters near Yanzhou.
But his heart has long been galloping on the vast ocean.
"With your highness's ambition, this day will come." Zhou Yi looked determined.
Chatting all the way, the two arrived at the beach.
At this moment, it was busy here. Some craftsmen were driving piles in shallow water to build a pier.
In addition, there were craftsmen building artillery platforms.
And five miles away from the coast, more craftsmen were building barracks.
This will become the transit base of the navy at sea.
Looking at everything in front of them, Yang He and Zhou Yi were a little emotional.
Back then, the Zhang family in Yan County gave the palace a headache.
Now, they can actually occupy an island and force Goryeo to trade with Yanzhou.
"Zhou Yi, this is up to you. When I return to Yanzhou, I will find a way to pester His Highness and let him focus on developing new commercial goods." Yang He said as he walked towards a merchant ship on the seashore.
They have a clear division of labor. Zhou Yi's Black Shark pirates are thugs, and he has conquered the market.
Zhou Yi nodded and bowed to Yang He.
After a while, Yang He's ship slowly left.
Zhou Yi looked for a while, and his sight turned to the three departing Goryeo merchant ships.
These merchant ships are full of goods purchased from the island.
He believes that these commercial goods will cause a sensation after arriving in Goryeo.
A day later, the three merchant ships arrived at Nanpu Wharf.
After being destroyed by the Black Shark pirates, many craftsmen came here to rebuild.
However, the merchant ship did not stay at the dock for too long, and went directly to the Goryeo royal city, Rangcheng, along the Nampo River.
When boxes of fine wine and perfume in glass bottles were unloaded from the merchant ship, it immediately caused a sensation.
In the envious eyes of the crowd, Yin Zhengqi, the owner of the three merchant ships, asked the servants to carry a box of fine wine and a box of perfume directly to the residence of the Left Minister Yin Boming.
He was a distant relative of Yin Boming, and relied on Yin Boming's relationship to run several shops in Rangcheng.
Originally, Yin Boming asked him to go to Treasure Island to deal with the Black Shark Pirates.
Unexpectedly, Treasure Island was really Treasure Island, allowing him to buy such amazing goods.
"My lord, this is the goods of the Black Shark Pirates, which is simply ingenious. If it weren't for your support this time, I would never have seen these." Yin Zhengqi asked the servants to unfold the box in front of Yin Boming.
When Yin Boming heard about the goods of the Black Shark Pirates, he was a little disdainful, but when the full picture of the things in the box was revealed, he was stunned.
Yin Zhengqi took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass for Yin Boming, and held it in front of him, "Sir, this wine is not only beautiful, but also tastes the best in the world."
"Really?" Although Yin Boming said this, he smelled the rich aroma of wine and couldn't help but drink it.
Instantly, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he made a "tsk" sound of surprise.
Looking at the wine in the box, his eyes sparkled, "It's really a good thing. If the Black Shark Pirates had taken it out earlier, there would be no need to fight this battle."
After saying that, he and Yin Zhengqi laughed.
Immediately, Yin Zhengqi introduced perfume, soap, mirror and other items, which caused Mrs. Yin Boming and the concubine to scream.
There was a commotion in the mansion because of this novel product.
Yin Boming suddenly remembered something and slapped his head, "Quickly, take these things and follow me to see the king."
Yin Zhengqi understood and immediately ordered his servants to carry many goods to the palace.
the next day.
Some rumors spread from the palace maid's mouth to every corner of Yangcheng.
Yin Boming presented the immortal wine, and the king became extremely drunk.
The concubines in the palace were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night because they were arguing over perfume, mirrors and other items.
All the trouble in Rangcheng is well known to all.
Immediately, news came that these were goods bought by merchants from Treasure Island.
The nobles of Liangcheng immediately thought of the merchant ships that arrived in Liangcheng yesterday.
Naturally, they also want to own goods that can make the king and the concubines in the palace unable to control themselves.
And more merchants sensed business opportunities, and they rented merchant ships to go to Treasure Island.
For a time, Treasure Island became extremely noisy and lively, with frequent trade exchanges.
…
Yanzhou.
Zhao Xu stayed in Yanguan for two days and then returned to Yancheng.
On the second day after his arrival, Yang He also came back and reported to him the situation of Treasure Island.
A few days later, the news of the booming trade on Treasure Island was brought back by the merchants of Black Shark Trading Company.
Both Zhao Xu and Yang He breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this was all within their expectations.
The people of Dashong could not refuse the goods from Yanzhou, and the people of Korea could not refuse them either.
"The trade of Treasure Island is secure, now it's time to focus on cleaning up Beidi." In the study, Zhao Xu looked at the Ningjin Dusi map and shook his fist.
The poisonous snake of Beidi was lying on the north side of Yanzhou, which really made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.
Over the next two months.
Zhao Xu continued to let Liu Fu and Chang Wei create the illusion of a plague.
At the same time, the pits where the corpses were buried were excavated, which shows that the people of Yanzhou died heavily due to the plague.
Time passed from March to June of the 24th year of Taihe.
On June 12, Tsui Hark sent information about the unusual movements in Beidi.
