Chapter 1331
Now many Japanese also go to Baekje or Andong or Shandong and Liaodong for trade. What they like most is not the porcelain, tea and books of the Central Plains, but the coins minted by the Great Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains, especially copper coins.Because although gold and silver coins are good, they are very expensive after all, and most people don't use them.

The Japanese lacked copper mining, and they did not know how to make copper coins, which made domestic transactions very inconvenient, and they used very primitive and backward silk and silk for grain and grain transactions.

The coins of Daqin are exquisitely minted and have high copper content.

These Japanese people are very smart. Not only can they buy copper coins directly in Japan, but they can also make huge profits if they melt the copper coins to cast bronze wares.

Melting money and casting utensils often has five times the benefits.

In the Great Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains, it is strictly forbidden to privately melt copper coins, nor to cast bronze wares privately, let alone to hide a large amount of copper coins privately. It is forbidden to hide more than ten copper coins in the homes of ordinary people.

But the Japanese country does not have so many restrictions. Although the imperial court banned money from going out of the country, there are still many merchants who secretly smuggle copper coins, and Japanese people also like to buy copper coins.

"Brother Baoqiang, this Japanese man really likes our Kaiyuan Tongbao like the rumors. You said if we smuggle a boatload of copper coins, how much will we earn?"

"Our ship is big, so the cost of loading a ship must be tens of thousands, right?"

"The Japanese gold and silver are cheap. We can transport gold and silver from the Japanese country back to the Central Plains, and then exchange them for copper coins and then transport them to the Japanese country. This time, it will be a huge profit."

Baoqiang glared at those guys with a cold face.

"Are you all looking for profit? Do you only see money? The imperial court banned money from leaving the country. Don't you know that you still want to smuggle copper coins? Do you know how many heads will be lost? If you check If you come out, you will earn your life but not spend your life, your head will not be guaranteed, and your parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters will also be implicated, is it worth it?"

A few people laughed and said, "Brother Baoqiang, we are just joking, we can't take it seriously."

Baoqiang said again, "If we can get more gold and silver back from the Wa country, that is our ability, but smuggling copper coins from the Central Plains to sell in the Wa country is a capital offense, so remember."

After entering the city, I found that inside the low city wall, the streets were narrow, the roads were muddy and dirty, and the houses were low.It is almost impossible to see the prosperity of the Central Plains Commercial Port. It is quite lively, but the streets are muddy, filthy, and horse manure and human urine are unsightly.

"This is a city of shit!"

"My boots are made of calfskin."

"My pair is made of lambskin. They are genuinely made in Khitan, but for the best lambskin, they cost ten thousand dollars."

"Hey, you didn't snatch this, and you didn't buy it." A companion exposed him mercilessly.

Several people cursed and walked on the streets of the city.

Although dirty and messy, short and small, but in general, it is indeed quite lively here.

On both sides of that not-so-wide main street, there are actually quite a few restaurants, restaurants, and even teahouses and brothels.

The city is not too big, and it is almost enough to walk around.

Although they were joking and joking, everyone was good at eating, and after walking around, they could clearly see everything that should be seen.

"With 500 of us, we can easily win."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to attack by force. Although the city wall is not high, there are still many guards. Once the door is closed, there is nothing hard to do. It is not easy to break in."

"As long as there is a response in the city and a door is opened, the city will be broken."

"There are not many guards in this city, and looking at them, they are also neglected in training and lack of equipment."

Baoqiang nodded and said in a low voice, "The key lies in the mountain city on the mountain, and there is a fort next to it. It’s not easy to fight. Especially the fortresses are not far apart, so they can reinforce each other.”

"Whatever, we don't plan to fight here and there anyway. Brother Baoqiang, we have seen what we should see, should we find a place to have a drink or two? My boots are all wet, find someone Let's roast your feet somewhere."

"Yeah, it's rare to go ashore, and you don't have to drink two cups."

"It's best to find two more Japanese girls. I've been on the boat for a long time, and when I saw the old sow, I felt like Sai Diaochan."

"Hahaha!"

Several guys laughed.

"That's all you know, kid. Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will pick you up if she finds out?"

"It's normal for a man to work hard outside and have a good time once in a while. It's fine for a wife to serve her in-laws and take care of her children at home. How can she be so lenient. Brother Baoqiang, I haven't tasted a Japanese woman yet. I heard that this Japanese Girls are the most gentle and obedient, let's go and try."

They are all young and strong. Soldiers are already full of energy, let alone those who run the sea. You can't even see a sow on the boat, and there are no women.

In fact, Wang Baoqiang also had a wife at home. Before he came out, his parents knew that he was going to the sea, and they insisted on getting married before leaving.

In order to be able to come out, he had no choice but to agree in the end, and hurriedly married a woman from the same village, and even had some relatives.

Although I also write letters to my family when I am away, and send money and things to my family every once in a while, the image of my wife in my mind is getting more and more blurred.

Baoqiang is not the kind of person who likes to play outside, but sometimes when everyone is together, they don't deliberately make things different.

Seeing everyone's drooling looks, I had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's still early anyway, so find a tavern and have a drink or two, warm up the fire, and dry your boots."

"I have to ask some Japanese girls to accompany the wine."

"Let's go."

They found a tavern that seemed to be pretty good. Compared with those low shacks, this tavern was well decorated.

A group of people stepped forward.

There were a few boys welcoming guests at the door.

Everyone walked in, but was stopped.

"drink wine!"

Baogun Road.

In the end, the Japanese kid shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.

"Guide, come over and tell him that the old men are here to drink and have money."

The Japanese guide looked at the storefront, turned his head and said to Baoqiang, "Why don't we change to a tavern.

"

"Why? I see that this place is quite clean, so I want to drink here."

The guide said helplessly, "This tavern is opened by the Guozao Zhuzi family. It only accepts Guozao's guests and does not entertain outsiders."

"If you don't have an invitation card made by the country, you can't go in."

To put it bluntly, this tavern is actually a private club. This is a high-end tavern, which is usually used by the state-built Zhuzi Village to entertain nobles, powerful officials, and some big merchants.

Baoqiang's men quit.

"Zhuzi Kingdom built a house? So what? We are Qin merchants, the Qin merchants who came to the kingdom of heaven. If we come to do business, we will be customers from afar. Besides, we have money, why don't we let us in?"
