Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 915 Another New City

After Baoqin mentioned Mogadishu, Liumu asked, "Are there coal mines there?"

Baoqin replied: "The exploration team has discovered iron mines, coal mines, copper mines, a gold mine, and an unidentified gemstone mine. There are countless woods, all of which are of the highest quality. At this time, it can be used for shipbuilding."

"That's it, I need a governor."

"Mr. Lang, we have to wait for Chang'an to send people over. We don't have any people at hand. The governor here needs someone who can run the business, and he must be ruthless. Also, Mrs. Ling'er hopes to be the center in Mogadishu." , and add two more routes.”

Willow turned to judge: "Madagascar?"

Baoqin nodded: "Well, even the princess thinks that the countless spices there are very, very important, and some craftsmen are already trying to use breadfruit to make wine, so that there are spices from Madagascar, and if you add alcohol, it is very different from the fragrance of the Mediterranean." Trade will reap fifteen times as much profit."

"Fifteen times!"

This number is astonishing, and the ten times huge profit is also due to the huge cultural and industrial level differences between the East and the West.

Fifteen times, Liu Mu remembers that a friend in the later generations told me that a bottle of French famous brand perfume was sold for 1000 yuan, and the packaging cost more than 70 yuan, and then advertising costs, celebrity endorsements, etc. accounted for more than 200 yuan, customs duties, consumption tax Waiting for more than 500, the actual cost is estimated to be less than 50 yuan.

"Very good, tell Ling'er that I support her, and I suggest that she work hard on packaging, strive to make the gross profit more than [-] times, and keep the cost at seven times if she earns it herself."

Baoqin shook his head: "Mr. Lang, it's better for you to say this yourself. It's something that makes her happy, and it becomes boring when I pass on the message."

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, if he hadn't held the piano to remind himself, he would have ignored it.

With some embarrassment, Liu Mu asked again: "Then where is the other route?"

"I don't know the name. There is a natural harbor more than 500 miles south along the coastline. When we passed by, we saw the bison for the first time. The guards thought that a small harbor would be built there, and then someone would be willing to go hunting, so there would be Inexhaustible beef, inexhaustible cowhide.”

"Okay, I support it."

Willow will definitely support it, this is the first time the guards are interested in doing business, even if it is wrong, Willow will also support it.Willow will subsidize those who lose money in the future.

Willow never thought that the hide of the African bison was so valuable.

Willow was wrong on this point.

Xie Xing'er helped the guards make a calculation. Based on the calculation of 40 pieces of cowhide each year, plus beef bones, canned beef, etc., the profit will not be less than [-] yuan. This is the net profit obtained.

Because Datang does not allow cattle to be killed easily, and there is no beef to eat.

What's more, cowhide is an important military strategic material, so hunting bison in a controlled manner is a very profitable job.

Liu Mu pulled Baoqin into his arms, leaned close to Baoqin's ear and asked, "Go and pick reliable people yourself. The Mint must be the safest place and the safest personnel."

Baoqin asked back, "Can you kill someone?"

"What do you mean?"

"The unskilled craftsmen are all slaves. Can these people be killed?" Baoqin asked in more detail.

Liu Mu immediately gave Baoqin a standard: "We in the Tang Dynasty use morality to convince people, and we should be courteous before soldiers. If we can't be moved, and we don't have a grateful heart, we kill white-eyed wolves, not people. So we can't kill people."

Baoqin didn't realize Liumu's words for a long time, and wrote down word for word. After thinking about it for a while, Baoqin was in a bad mood, and he covered his head and screamed a few times: "I know, I know gone."

In fact, the place Mogadishu had many ideas when Willow first passed by, leaving a small band of pioneers there.

Baoqin didn't arrange for someone to go to Mogadishu, but went in person.

Compared with Athens city, Baoqin prefers Mogadishu. The scenery here in Athens is not very good. Compared with Chang'an, the cleanliness of the streets is not as good as the surrounding countryside of Chang'an.

The most unacceptable thing for Baoqin is that Princess Irene Sarah of the Frankish Kingdom, a majestic princess, went to the corner of the garden to relieve herself, a princess like this, let alone other people.

The person sent out to investigate also told Baoqin that there was a smell of urine around the Frankish palace.

On the contrary, Constantinople is very clean, and there are large-scale public bathrooms. From Baoqin's point of view, the Romans still understand etiquette, and the rest are all uncivilized barbarians.

So Baoqin ran away, in the name of security inspection.

Mogadishu.

When Baoqin came here, the slaves were first sent to the camp, and everyone had to wash them three times, and then rigidly stipulated hygiene standards in the first five days.

In the slave camp, all the men shaved their heads, and the Chinese soldiers did not think it was necessary to waste soap.

In front of a huge wooden warehouse, a steward who stayed here handed an account book to the hand holding the qin: "Mrs. The more than 200 slaves intercepted by the fleet back to Datang, and the forty Japanese guards detained have filled this warehouse for so many days."

Baoqin said: "Frankincense promotes blood circulation and myrrh disperses blood, both of which can relieve pain, reduce swelling, and promote muscle growth. In the list of wound medicines in the Ministry of War, this is one of the top-quality wound medicine ingredients. Datang has always relied on Persian merchants and I don’t know how much money the goods of the Arab merchants have spent over the years.”

"What Mrs. Qin said is that the earlier you have your own source of original medicine, the earlier you can save these unnecessary money."

The steward signaled to his subordinates to bring two incense sticks, which were lit on the left and right sides of the piano.

Baoqin took a deep breath after smelling it.

The person in charge said: "The incense that was trial-produced by a priest of the Medical Sage Museum who was left behind found that it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. It has been recorded and sent to the magical island in a box. The seniors in the museum will do the screening again."

Good stuff, Baoqin picked up a few unlit incense sticks and looked at them.

Baoqin doesn't know, and Liumu doesn't know much about it. Modern research in later generations proves that frankincense and myrrh have very effective anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects.

For devout believers, they can really get rid of their distress and find spiritual sustenance by burning incense and worshiping.

It can be said that this is definitely one of the best materials for making incense.

Only then did Baoqin look at the account book. The numbers on it were indeed scary. With such a little manpower, if calculated according to the shipping price from Chang'an in a short period of time, the coins exchanged would be enough to fully arm a 5000-man army.
