This is the second largest port of Chu State, facing the South Ocean, but most ships entering and leaving here go to Java or even Japan, while most North Korea is because it is a deep-water port, so it is leaning against the bay and there are ships everywhere along the calm coast.
The Dafu ship gradually entered and out of the waterway. Most of the maritime merchants here are rich. In the past, whenever the ship went to Nanyang, the profits were extremely generous. However, more and more people went to sea in recent years, and although the profits were not expensive,
But in the end, it did not reach the level of huge profits, so some adventurous maritime merchants began to turn their attention to further places.
The ocean-going ships require stronger wood, and the sailors and helmsmans require more endurance.
But as long as you can return here safely, the profits of one trip will be at least ten times more than the income of the ships traveling to the Southeast Asia. Only here will more information from foreign lands flow out. It is said that there is a fleet that has been going westward.
Sailing all the way to Kunlun Island, the people in Kunlun Island are similar to the Kunlun slaves who were sold here, so this continent is called Kunlun. There, it is said that even the lowest Kunlun slaves wear gold.
Silver jewelry, and many unknown jewelry, they don’t have a high understanding of the value of gold and silver. After that fleet arrived there, a ship
Around the surroundings, nearly full warehouses of gold and silver were exchanged. When the fleet returned, the entire port was boiling for a while, and the eyes of the maritime merchants were red. Ten times and hundred times profits were always pursued by the maritime merchants.
The goal is that cargo ships to Nanyang are now one after another. A few years ago, it was only a few hundred ships of cargo. Now it has increased ten times and a hundred times. This is how the goods are. The more rare it is, the more valuable it is. The price is
Naturally, it cannot be lifted up. In addition, many large commercial banks have many advantages, which has caused some small-scale maritime merchants to travel to and from Nanyang. The profit is only 10% or 20%.
10% or 20% of the profits are also huge profits for ordinary businesses, but most merchants look down on them for the higher risk shipping. They are not like big business banks, which send one ship at a time.
Some of the teams on the ship are guarded against ordinary pirates. Moreover, they are often valued by various countries, and even some large businesses will directly buy some officials from various countries to provide them with convenience. How can these advantages be compared to small sea merchants?
Most of the small sea merchants are willing to go to places with fewer large fleets, so there are more and more people and ships flocking to Kunlun Island, but the risks they bear are also huge and may not be able to fight in a year.
If you encounter wind and waves or other unknown dangers, then there is no need to say anything about it.
So at Donghai Port, people mostly call them water men for those who go to explore new trade routes, but they cannot provoke such people. They are all desperate people and dare to do anything.
In addition to going to Kunlun Island, there were also people sailing westward, passing through the waters of Japan all the way westward. Of course, someone heard the instigation of the Franchise man. The Franchise man kept saying that there was gold everywhere in the Far East. Therefore, this east
There are also many rumors on the harbor that are full of gold in the extreme east. Such rumors naturally make those who have red eyes when they see money scream, but every once in a while,
Although some ships go there, most of them return without success.
Some ships even walked east for three months and could hardly see land except for some islands. Finally, when the supply and fresh water reached their limit, they hurried back in disgrace.
But the less people arrived, the more fierce the legend of gold and silver was spread. Lianzhou has never shortage of bold people, so several large businesses have published articles saying who can bring it back.
According to news from the East Mainland, several businesses are willing to give rewards. If a hero is willing to take risks, he is willing to provide ships.
No one is a fool, and those big businesses will naturally not give money to people to spend. The purpose of their doing so is actually to salivate the Far East and take out some money. If someone can find it, that's how big it is.
The large-scale fleet of the business can immediately set off and head straight for the distant east. At that time, the return you get is no ten times a hundred times, or a thousand times a thousand times a million times is nothing.
With this enthusiasm, those adventure fleets always set off from this Donghai Harbour every now and then, towards a distant and unknown purpose. As the port gradually drifts away, a person who is full of hardships and even determines the life and death of the people on the ship can give people a gift.
The journey of enjoying endless wealth begins.
The sails that were opened with the warmest memory of this familiar land, riding the wind and waves, and moving towards the unknown. The sailors are often the most optimistic. If they don’t have enough optimism, they can’t eat this bowl of rice, so they still have to have it on them.
A copper plate also needs to bet on money. If you have the last time, you are willing to enter the kiln and enjoy a moment of tenderness. When they are on the land, most of them are drunk. Today is wine and today is drunk. As for tomorrow's affairs, no one goes.
I think, no one dares to think about it.
When they boarded the boat, they would scream like wild animals. They spoke indifferently, their voices were rough, and fighting was common. But everyone knows that these people have many things, but they have courage that is hard to reach than ordinary people can do.
And patience, they are the bravest people in the world.
According to the government statistics, the probability of death of sailors who go to Southeast Asia is only one percent. Such a mortality rate is still in the normal category. Although the risk is not small, it is reasonable to make a lot of profits.
However, if the sailors were exploring in an unknown direction, the government records were not one or more. The high price, even so, people would still flock to it.
Here, no one knows what kind of death they will face in the next moment, but when the canvas is raised, everyone takes a dream with a dream. With the support of the dream, their lives seem to be no longer
It's important.
Here, a large ship has begun to collect its anchors. This is a large ocean-going ship. With the improvement of shipbuilding skills, the classification of ships has increased. Generally, in Lianzhou, all large ships carrying cargo are available.
They are all called lucky ships, but lucky ships are divided into different levels. The lucky ship docked in the port is definitely the best among the lucky ships. It carries a huge cargo capacity. It can accommodate more than 500 people on the ship and is equipped with three
The mast sail rod is over 130 feet long and has a very deep draft. The cabin is divided into four floors. In addition to the bottom warehouse, there are also living cabins dedicated to the sailors living in, as well as large loads of fresh water, food and cargo.
, two-story cargo hold for weapons.
The ship obviously came out of the dock recently, and at most it had only traveled to Nanyang. Therefore, the paint on the hull was still bright and shining in the sun. It was just close to the waterline, and the hull had some shells stuck to it.
etc. Algae and other debris.
The ship was clearly about to go to sea. The captain had already boarded the ship with the document issued by the Customs Bureau that allowed to sail. Finally, he checked the freshwater. After the cargo, the ship opened the market and set sail, and drove out of the harbor along the waterway.
Standing on the side of the boat, a man was carrying him, his mood was complicated, the sea breeze blew his beards, his clothes fluttered, he stood with his hands behind his back, Yaoyao looked at the direction of the port and let the sea breeze blow.
Standing beside him was a sailor-like man with an ordinary appearance but his behavior was unusual. He looked very respectful to the person in front of him and whispered: "Old sir, this trip is Nan
The continent is a thousand miles away from Lianzhou. In the sea below Java, the land is widely stewed and sparsely populated. Although the climate is hot, it is not much different from Lianzhou. It was discovered two years ago. Now the State of Chu is
The Governor's Office has been established in the port there, but please rest assured
After all, there are few people there. Although there are not many local natives, there are only a few thousand Han people who migrated there. Most of them rely on supplying ships and bartering them locally. His Highness said, "Old."
The husband is sensitive. Although His Highness has the heart to be filial, he can only do this now. On the other side, the old man is a merchant, and the cost required is all collected by the inner warehouse. The villain and others are responsible for serving the husband.
If the gentleman has any instructions along the way, he can give it as much as possible."
"Well." It was Liu Yan who stood by the side of the ship.
Liu Yan originally thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, he was rescued by others. Instead of becoming a prisoner, he was placed under house arrest in a house and sent him onto a boat.
After all, this place is no longer a place where Liu Yan stays for a long time. Staying there is no benefit to Liu Chengfeng, nor is it for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan had heard of Nanzhou that the sailor had just said. It is said that there are many rare animals there, and the land is widely simmered, which is enough to be comparable to the Ming Dynasty. However, it is sparsely populated, so the cargo ships are not willing to go there.
Occasionally some people will go there to settle down. Now there is a high demand for horses in Lianzhou and even the entire Ming Dynasty. However, Mongolia has horses, but due to political and military hostility, although there is also horse market trade, it is far from enough.
To fill this gap, you must know now
Horse carriages are popular, and horses are indispensable in people's lives. It is said that there are grasslands everywhere in Nanzhou, so many merchants have already brought their friends to build pastures and raise horses for their business, not to mention that it is ordinary.
Even the Lianzhou government attached great importance to the matter of raising horses, so it specially sent officials and set up the Governor's Office to take charge of public security and horse raising in Han people's gathering areas. So some cargo ships also began to travel to and from Nanzhou.
, in order to transport horses from Nanzhou to Lianzhou and then sell them to the whole world.
But the journey is long, and horses are not goods after all, so the scale is not large now. However, the horse prices are getting higher and higher. It may not be a good business to operate a horse farm in Nanzhou in the future. (Unfinished
