Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 760 Win-Win Agreement
As soon as they got on the big boat, everyone was stunned by Fanning's huge [-] shi. They all came on a [-] shi Arabian ship. Are they shocked?
In particular, there are a hundred ships of thousands of stones behind them. Even their Holy Roman Empire can't match them. This is only a small part of the ships of a kingdom below the Eastern Empire, which gave them a deeper understanding of the strength of the Eastern Empire.

But Fan Ning did not expect that they would bring their own servants. Bansai brought a few loyal swordsmen, who were actually bodyguards, and a maid who took care of his daughter. In addition, he bought a black man for his daughter in Alexandria. A little slave girl named Ruth.

"How is Mr. Bence?"

Fanning and Banser sat on the deck with a pipe and smoked. Banser was obsessed with the taste of cigarettes, and every time he smoked, he felt refreshed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to thank you. I'm already fascinated by it. What should I do without it in the future?"

In fact, not only Bansai, but also nine other European businessmen were fascinated by it.

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said: "This is actually a great business opportunity. Together, we can monopolize the tobacco market in the West. In the entire East, only Chu State produces this kind of tobacco. We also provide tobacco from the Song Empire."

Banzai was so excited that he had wanted to bring it up a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, we coincide with each other!"

The two laughed. At this moment, Ashabel ran over. She was wearing a white strappy top and a large white long skirt underneath. She was at least 1.7 meters tall and had a fan in her golden hair. The pearl gold hairpin that Ning gave her.

She bowed to Yingying Fanning, Fanning smiled and said, "I see, it's time to study."

"Mr. Ban Sai wants to go back to the cabin?"

"Go first! I want to smoke for a while and enjoy the sea breeze."

Fan Ning took Asabel back to the cabin. Ban Sai narrowed his eyes and watched his daughter happily holding Fan Ning's arm. He knew that his daughter was very infatuated with the young king of the East. Even the other companions could see it. While drinking, he persuaded him half-jokingly and half-seriously, and simply married his daughter to the young Eastern King, and he would become the biggest businessman in Europe in the future.

Of course, Ban Sai was also very moved. He knew very well how huge benefits tea and tobacco would bring, so why did he establish a strong trade relationship with the young king?
friendship?It seems that we can't talk about it, interests?But the benefits given by the Italians will never be lower than his. Ban Sai thought of marriage. If his daughter can marry him, then this financial source will be stable.

Of course, Bansai also found that Fanning liked his daughter very much. Her daughter is of course outstanding. Although she is only 12 years old, she has already formed the posture of a beauty. With beautiful blond hair, snow-white skin, and tall figure, she is very much like her mother. , especially his eyes are as blue as gemstones, and he will be able to marry in four or five years. He does not believe that Fanning will not be tempted.

Bansai's wife died of illness a few years ago, leaving him three sons and a daughter. The eldest son followed him in business, the second son worked as a court guard, the third son studied in a seminary, and his daughter was Ashabel. Although she was only 12 years old, she His appearance began to show an astonishing beauty, and many people have proposed to him, even several princes of the Principality.

But Banzai is a businessman after all, and a businessman considers maximizing profit. Even if her daughter becomes the queen of a certain grand duchy, can she compare with the biggest businessman in the empire and even in Europe?

Seizing this opportunity, the Ludwig family may gradually become the most wealthy and powerful family in the Holy Roman Empire.

Maybe she should stay with the young king to learn tea art for a few more years.

Bansai made up his mind, he decided to find an opportunity to tell Fanning about this matter, and let his daughter stay by his side.

Fan Ning also found that Ashabel liked him very much, and she followed him from morning to night. Fan Ning also vaguely guessed the reason. Tu Xia and Mie Liao naturally have a strong aura, which is of course a strong attraction to Asabel who lost her mother since childhood and yearns for a sense of security.

Although Ashabel is only 12 years old, Western girls develop early and have already shown some kind of temptation. Although Fan Ning does not admit it, in fact he is also somewhat fascinated by this beautiful medieval European girl.

Mingren also hinted to him that if he didn't want to keep this girl, then don't let her fall too deep, but Mingren didn't know that it was Fanning himself who was a little out of control. Since he couldn't control it, Fanning had no choice but to Let it go.

"Asabel, today we are learning Chinese characters, can you write the characters I taught you yesterday?"

Ashabel picked up the brush and drew a fish on the paper, wrote the word fish next to it, drew another turtle, wrote the word turtle next to it, and said with a mischievous smile, "Isn't it?"

Fanning was surprised that he had never taught her this way!

"How did you come up with that?"

"When I was writing about fish and turtle yesterday, it suddenly occurred to me, aren't they just like a fish and a turtle?"

Fan Ning gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are really smart, a large part of Chinese characters are evolved from pictographs."

Asabel was praised by Fan Ning, her pretty face flushed with excitement, and she quickly asked: "Then what other words are there? Teach me again, I like it very much."

"There are many more, such as day, it is the sun, dan, the sun has just risen, the moon, does it look like a crescent moon, the mountain, is it like a mountain, there is water, there are horses, there are doors, wooden , hand, sheep"

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, I can't remember it." Asabel panicked.

"It's okay, I'll teach you later, but don't call me His Majesty the King, you can call me another one."

"Brother Fan? I'll ask Mr. Mingren for advice."

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "You can call me Guanren from now on!"

This morning, the fleet arrived at Nuame Island. The men on Nuame Island had gone out to fight, and there were only women and children in the tribe. Akihito took Ban Sai and his party to visit the platinum mine.

In the Song Dynasty it was called white copper, but in Europe it was called platinum, which was as valuable as silver.

Fanning had promised to sell them a lot of cupronickel at a low price, so that they would have money to spare for tobacco.

These merchants from the northern part of the Holy Roman Empire are indeed relatively shabby. They don’t bring glass, cotton cloth, and blankets to the east like the Genoese merchants. Many of them actually bring goods such as wine, blankets, and even dried cheese. Bansai Being shrewd, he brought over a dozen large boxes of gems and gold.

In order to push tobacco and tea to Europe, Fanning decided to be generous and accepted their goods at a high price, and gave them some silk and fine ceramics fired by Bei Dao himself before leaving.

Fanning stood at the bow of the boat, Asabel was nestled beside him like a bird, and Fanning held her shoulders. After a month of getting along day and night, this beautiful European girl was already deeply infatuated with the young Eastern King.

Just three days ago, Fan Ning also formally signed a negotiation agreement with Bansai. The von Ludwig family was solely responsible for selling the tobacco and tea of ​​the North Island Trading Company in the west. Other merchants did not get this agreement.

The basis for supporting this agreement is Banzai's daughter Asabel, who will marry Fanning at the age of 16, and use the marriage bond to build the long-term, stability and exclusivity of this agreement. shared culture.

Although other businessmen did not get the coveted tobacco sales agreement, they also had a good harvest. They could do the tea business of Beidao Trading Company, which did not monopolize the tea of ​​Dasong.

Moreover, they can directly buy goods at preferential prices from the trading houses in Xingang, such as silk, porcelain, paper, tea, sugar, honey, coconut oil and various daily necessities of the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Fan Ning generously gave Ban Sai ten thousand stone ships, which were of course not steam engine ships, but traditional multi-masted sailing ships, which were sealed up in the shipyard for renovation, and Fan Ning directly gave them to Ban Sai.

Relying on these ten thousand-stone ships, Bansai recruited dozens of fellow merchants under his command and established the North German Chamber of Commerce. More than ten years later, it gradually became the largest alliance of chambers of commerce in the Holy Roman Empire.

Because of the special relationship with the Eastern Empire and the huge wealth accumulated by his family, Banzai was canonized as the Duke of Rüdesheim by the Holy Roman Emperor, Heinrich IV, and lasted for more than [-] years.
