Section 569 Our pepper seedlings

After the last time he confirmed the plan and in case of changes, Han Tongqing said to Abu Shixi: "The success or failure this time is very important. It's not that I threatened you. If you can do it, you can understand if you can do it."
Abu Shixi took a deep breath. He had been memorizing the plan for almost half a month and was ready.
He understood that if he tried his best to do his job and failed, his reputation for incompetence would be unable to become the upper class of the first ocean-going fleet, just a guide.
If you are not dedicated enough, you may not be able to withstand your own existence in this sea.
Han Tongqing looked at Han Si who was urgently called back to Lin'an and accompanied Abu Shixixi. Han Si nodded. He understood the importance of this mission.
The rest are all from the hands of the Han family, loyal and reliable.
Han Tongqing poured each person a bowl of wine: "If things are done or not, this matter must not be involved in the family. Even if you lose your life, you cannot be involved in the family."
Everyone took the wine bowl and drank it all.
Leave the ship.
The fleet separated, and two merchant ships from Champa went to Kaesong.
Han Tongqing stood by the boat and bowed to Yelu Aqige who came to help him. The other party gave a gift, and then took his fleet away.
Han Tongqing then ordered: "Go south and meet with the ship that went out to sea to train."
Twenty of Han Tongqing's thirty-six boats were docked on an isolated island southwest of Goryeo at this time. This island has no name or person.
Goryeo fishing boats can't run so far.
The location of this island was provided by Han Jiang, which was not very accurate. It took Han Tongqing two days to find the island. Of course, Han Tongqing was not sure if it was the island mentioned by Han Jiang.
However, the distance from the Goryeo land is about 200 miles, which was calculated by a small boat. Moreover, there are no other islands around it.
The island has rocks and woods.
There are mountains, forests on the mountains and forests, and forests with a lot of trees.
There are mountains and trees, and there is fresh water.
Han Tongqing was also considering handing over this island to the Wu family? Arrange some people here to be pirates in name? There are actually many things that can be done, after all, this place is very hidden? There is only one place on the island that can get big ships close to? It is easy to defend.
Han Tongqing's ship went south to the island to wait for news, and Yelu Aqige's ship was also returning to Wendeng Wharf in Ninghaizhou.
On the way back? A Liao crew member asked: "Three Generals, what did this Song people do in Goryeo? It feels like something strange."
Yelu Aqige shook his head: "I don't know? And I can't ask. However, there are benefits to us. Tell others that they will shut their mouths when they receive benefits."
The captain who led the team smiled: "Who would talk nonsense? Let the Jin people know that they would lose their heads. It is the right way to make money quietly."
"That's right." Yelu Aqige thought that this was right? He had contacted the Song army's ship in private and helped the Song army put the Goryeo military ship wall in the Kaicheng Wharf. With this, no matter what the reason, the Jin people would pick up a hundred people on the ship and cut them off, and the rest were sent to be coolies.
To save your life? I believe no one will talk nonsense.
Han Si and Abu Shixi quickly arrived at Kaicheng Wharf. First, they were scolded by the Jin army ships blocked the channel, and then they entered the port.
Abu Shixi reported that Champo's merchant ship was a native of the Great Food.
When it was time to fill in the value of the goods? Abushixi wrote ten thousand taels of gold.
But the real goods only have five wooden boxes.
What is so precious?
The great nobles of Goryeo were soon attracted.
The great nobles of Goryeo saw the goods? Five wooden boxes? Very ordinary wood? After the wooden boxes were opened, they were an iron box.
Originally, Han Jiang wanted to make boxes with mahogany, but everyone thought that the iron box looked more expensive, and it was a polished and shiny iron box with oil.
The box was not opened outside, so Abu Shixi first rented a big house.
The big house was heated with charcoal first, and then wrapped it with at least fifteen linens. Not only that, part of the roof was also removed, and a sunroof that could be opened and a special tulle window was made.
It took half a day and almost a day to toss the house just tossed.
The more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is.
Finally, I'm ready to unbox.
But Abu Shixi asked only three people to enter the house at a time, and after a turnover, they would wait for a full incense stick in the house first, and wait until the air temperature in the house was the same as that in the room, and then let people enter the house.
"What is this?" The Goryeo nobleman felt that he was being teased.
There is a wooden stand, and then there are some vines on the wooden stand. This thing is worth two thousand taels of gold, which is funny.
Han Si stepped forward, with a small plate in his hand, and said in Goryeo, "Have you seen it?"
Two Korean nobles shook their heads, and one looked at the little dish and thoughtfully.
Han Si said: "Since you don't know the distinguished guest, please."
"Wait a moment."
The great nobleman who had seen pepper particles carefully looked at the pepper particles in Han Si's hand, then stared at the vine and looked at the fruits that had already been produced on it.
"This, is this pepper?"
"Yes, this is called a mother plant, which is a pepper tree that makes seeds. It has grown up for three years. Since the distinguished guest knows it, can you recognize this thing?"
Han Si took out a royal scroll from the Great Yue Kingdom, which was a contract.
Six and one fifth of the acres were entrusted to Sir Abu Shixi, who lived in Champo, who was entrusted to arrange for people to take care of him. More than 500 kilograms of black pepper, the rest were white pepper or green pepper, with a total of 2,000 kilograms. Marquis Abu Shixi was given the Marquis of Abu Shixi to enjoy royal treatment in the Dayue Kingdom. At the same time, the caravan was completely exempted from taxes, and the excess pepper was also owned by Sir Abu Shixi.
It was written entirely in Dayue, [Biquge www.biquwu.biz] Not to mention the great nobles in Goryeo, there are really something they can understand.
A nobleman who had not known pepper before exclaimed: "This is pepper, a pound of pepper worth one tael of silver. It is rumored that someone sells pepper seedlings in Lin'an, Song State, but I didn't expect there were some here too."
The great nobleman who knew Hu pepper gave Han Si a piece of gold: "Can you say goodbye? How much is the pepper produced per acre of King Dayue?"
Han Si and Abu Shixi just glanced at the gold. Han Si was not interested in the gold size of his fingertips, but he also politely thanked and accepted it. Then he said: "Six and one-fifth of the acre, the output last year just exceeded 4,000 kilograms."
The pepper in Goryeo is more expensive than that in the Song Dynasty.
A scoop of pepper in the Song Dynasty is worth 800 taels of silver, while a storied bunch of pepper in the Goryeo is worth about 1,200 taels.
"Two, I am preparing to have a banquet, please give me a look."
