"I have nothing to do with you princes!" The visitor looked at the guards who were still on guard not far away, and pointed towards the sea in the distance, "I heard that someone is holding our goods.
Selling here, my general sent me over to take a look!"
"Your goods?" Walli looked at him intently and finally reacted: "Are you from Dai Viet?"
The voice was a little louder. Several guards pressed their hands on the hilts of their knives and looked over. The man whispered: "It doesn't matter where I come from. What matters is that His Highness, don't you have any feelings about this batch of goods?"
Are you interested?"
Wali waved his hand, signaling his guards not to be nervous. He didn't even want to ask how the other party knew the news. There was no doubt that this person was the leader of the Ming Dynasty's deserters who bought their firearms from Lord Ruan.
, if this person had come so early, maybe this matter would have been discussed, but - he looked at the black shadow on the sea, and thought it was a little late to say this now.
Thinking about his father's reply, and thinking about the rampant Ming Dynasty ship, Walli suppressed his unhappiness: "So what if I'm interested, so what if I'm not interested?"
"If you are interested, we will naturally let His Highness the Prince fulfill his wish! Of course, if His Highness the Prince is not interested, then just pretend that I have never been here!"
Walli's heart moved. He didn't believe that the other party would be so good. "Then what can you get?"
The man stared at him closely and uttered two words: "Stay alive!"
…
As if overnight, the Champa people discovered that their lives suddenly became much easier.
Although the sadness of the death of their loved ones still remains in the hearts of many people, the arrival of the Ming Dynasty people undoubtedly opened a new window of life for them: they no longer have to worry about the harassment of enemies who covet to occupy the city, and
They no longer have to worry about the tyrannical power of the sea to protect their source of income. In fact, they no longer have to worry about the king who follows them and continues to dream about the dream of national restoration that is so vague that it seems that there is no trace.
Yes, they are now people of the Ming Dynasty, and their king has become an official of the Ming Dynasty. Their life seems to be the same as before, nothing has changed, but everything seems to be different from before.
Even the copper coins circulating on the market are more and newer than usual. Needless to say, this is all brought by the mighty fleet staying on the sea.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is all they see. However, those Champa people who escaped and returned are mostly wealthy. In troubled times, the ones who are most useful are of course the yellow and white ones that are easy to carry.
Only they, when they exchanged the gold and silver after returning to Champa, slightly noticed that the exchange ratio was slightly lower than in the past.
Before the arrival of the Dai Viet people, the gold and silver exchange in Champa was usually one for five or six. This silver was exchanged for copper coins, and one tael could often be exchanged for about 600. But now, gold can be exchanged for silver.
If the ratio of exchange is one to four, then the market is already very good. As for the exchange of silver for copper coins, it is as low as one tael of silver and can be exchanged for about five hundred.
Moreover, this ratio seems to be continuing to decrease.
No one will complain about how much gold and silver the robbers took away from the plundered city. Even if they don't know this, they can still imagine it. So the current slightly abnormal exchange ratio is understandable. Get
Champa has regained its prosperity, and there have been more merchant ships traveling from north to south. This ratio will naturally return to normal. In fact, because this place has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is safer with the protection of the Ming army.
, this ratio may become higher, it is not certain.
Of course, they don't know, but some people do.
Such as Wang Shouren, such as Qian Wubing, such as Tang Yin and Grisha.
The idea was proposed by Wang Shouren. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Yin understood the key. However, under Tang Yin's prompting, Grisha thought about it a little longer, and then she looked at it in surprise.
He looked at Wang Shouren without saying a word. As for Qian Wubing, let alone talk about it. He still seems to understand but not understand!
However, whether he understood it or not, he could see the effect. In just a few days, a large amount of gold and silver flowed from the hands of the Champa people to his fleet, and then the copper coins exchanged for the gold and silver were
Purchased a lot of the goods they brought.
This is simply more profitable than doing business, no, this is simply stealing money!
Of course, this does not mean that Wang Shouren did not care about the life and death of these people who occupied the city and wanted to exploit them until they were penniless. In fact, with his current status as a consolation envoy and being far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, he just ruined this place.
Even if he is a ruler, no one will read his book, especially his methods. Most people really can't see it!
However, right now he has to rely on Qian Wubing for too many reasons, and he has one body, two arms, and one head.
Bai Shui division can't even pay out the food and salary. At this point, if he doesn't give Qian Wubing any benefits, no matter how righteous Qian Wubing is, he has to rest assured that it's not him. He has always owed it to others.
, they don’t owe him anything!
Of course, what's more important is that once Champa gets used to this exchange ratio and prices gradually stabilize, then the people who will be exploited by the method he came up with will not be the people of Champa, but the people of Nannan.
The merchant ships coming and going from north to south were really stealing money from the invisible people. Those people were not people from the city, let alone the common people of the Ming Dynasty.
What pleased him was that the number of merchant ships outside the port gradually became more numerous. At first, one or two ships approached cautiously, but then the number gradually increased, and the city gradually became lively again. A powerful
The port guarded by the fleet, with dozens of merchant ships filled with exquisite goods, is really attractive to those well-behaved merchants. As for those guys who were merchants in the past and pirates in the past, they were now attracted by this possible huge profit transaction.
Attracting, they had to put away their fierce side and start doing business in a disciplined manner like everyone else!
Of course, in addition to buying and selling, they also brought with them the fact that most of them came via Liao Port. The almost arrogant ship, which led them to come here, was a little bit resentful. At this moment, they were also stimulated by the dazzling array of goods.
Where have they gone? Unlike these huge ships from the Ming Empire, their warehouses may not be able to hold many things. If they move faster, maybe they can run more before others know what is going on here.
Several trips, of course, at that time, they will bring more gold, silver and goods here.
