Following a series of hasty bells for the end of school, Qiwang Primary School immediately boiled over, and the students in class units left the classroom, and then dispersed in a herd, leaving in twos and threes.Chouchou was naturally with Yanyan, and the two went to the shed to pick up the car, and then Chouchou drove her to the school gate, where the carriage to pick up Yanyan was already waiting there.

"Chou Chou, don't forget to promise me!" After getting into the carriage, Yanyan leaned on the window and said loudly to Chou Chou.

"Don't worry, my father loves me the most. If he doesn't agree, I won't eat!" Chouchou said while riding his bicycle, but accidentally bumped into a classmate who was also riding a bicycle in front of him. Yanyan giggled.

Chouchou agreed to teach Yanyan how to ride a bicycle this morning, but he quickly realized that his father had decided to take his family to the Lion City yesterday, so he might not be in Taiwan for the whole winter vacation. Learn to ride a bike.However, Yanyan was not disappointed after hearing this, but was also very excited, because her father, Wang Kuang, was just transferred to the Lion City at the beginning of this year, and he has not been home for almost a year now. Yanyan begged Chouchou for help, and asked their family to take her with them when they went to Lion City, so that she could celebrate the New Year with her father.

As for the good sister's request, Chou Chou naturally agreed. After all, in her opinion, it was just a trivial matter. Besides, if Yanyan could also go, she would have a companion on the way. Presumably this trip would be more interesting.Capital Datang 563

In fact, Li Yin really dotes on Chouchou a little bit. When he heard that Chouchou wanted to let Wang Kuang's daughter go with him, he answered without thinking.Then he begged Wen Xin to find Wang Kuang's wife and tell the story.Although Mrs. Wang felt a little childish, she thought that her husband hadn't come back for a long time.The daughter thought he was normal, so she finally agreed.

Half a month later, Li Yin finally left for the Lion City. In addition to bringing his whole family, Li Yun and Li Zhen's family members also accompanied him.It's just that after arriving in Lion City, Li Yin will send a fleet to escort them to Tianzhu.

Because there were more people going this time, and most of them were important figures, Li Yin mobilized ten main warships to escort.In addition, there are also manned ships such as the King Qi.However, when their fleet left the port, there were still many fleets following them. They were all heading from Taiwan to Malacca. The sea is unpredictable, and no one knows what dangers will be encountered. It is safer to follow the big fleet.

And on a small sea boat just behind Li Yin's fleet, a black and thin young man in half-worn cotton clothes stood at the bow.I saw him looking at the surrounding fleet with surprise on his face, and at the same time there was a bit of anxiety in his eyes.

"Brother Shitou, why are you still standing there, hurry up and eat!" Right at this moment.A little fat man in the same attire spoke from behind, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Well, I'll come right away!" The skinny young man called Shitou promised.Then he looked at the sea in front of him and the other big ships beside him, and the anxiety in his eyes had disappeared.Instead, it was replaced with a "color" of intoxication.

This stone brother was the first batch of fugitives who moved from Jianzhou to Taiwan, and was later assigned to Tainan County.The family of nine was divided into [-] mu of land, and Shitou's father-in-law, Tie's family, was next to them, which also had [-] mu of land, so the two families simply merged together on the spot and set up a small plantation. Except for some necessary grains, everything else has been planted as sugar cane.

After several years of development, the plantations of the Shitou family and the Tie family have finally been developed. The nearly 80 mu of fields are all filled with sugar cane. For this reason, the two families also bought more than [-] slaves in the prime of life to work. I hired more than a dozen Xinluo supervisors. These Xinluo people can speak Chinese, and they are all second-level aliens, so they can use it with confidence.

With the output of this plantation, the Shitou family and the Tie family have gradually accumulated some savings, and even bought a house in a town not far away. Shitou's father and mother usually live there, and the children in the family do not need He stayed in the plantation to help out, but was sent to the elementary school in the town to go to school. I heard that if he studied well, he could become an official in the future, so Shi Shi sent his young siblings there, usually only him He took care of the plantation with his wife, Xiang Toon, and the situation was the same with the Tie family.

Although Shitou’s family has no worries about food and clothing after owning the plantation, Shitou already had his own ambition before coming to Taiwan, that is, to earn more money and provide a better life for his family. Although the output of the garden is stable, it is too little, and it is not enough to support the life he wants.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that Shitou decided to go out to do business after thinking twice. As for the plantation, there is no need to worry, because his parents are not used to living in the town and moved to the plantation to take care of him. His second brother is already 16 years old and can already help take care of the plantation. There are also a few brothers from the Tie family, so there is no need to worry.

Although Xiang Toon was reluctant to give up Shitou's thoughts, she couldn't stop him. After all, Shitou wanted to make her family's life better, so she and Shitou's parents packed up the family's belongings and let Shito bring them all with her.A few days later, Shitou arrived in Tainan City, ready to find a chance to make a fortune.

Although Shi Shi has never read a book, his brain is very good. In addition, he has learned a few words while taking care of the farm in the past few years. He even named himself Chen Shang. The reason why he used this Shangzi, mainly because he discovered that the only way to make a fortune is to be a businessman.

Shitou stayed in Tainan City for several months. During these months, he ran to the pier every day, because he found that the pier was the most crowded and well-informed, and all kinds of information could be inquired from there.In addition, newspapers are also a good channel. Although he can't understand some articles, he can still see some news that publishes commercial information.

It is also because of the intelligence gathering in the past few months that Stone found that if he wants to do business, he must first have a source of goods, and second, he must be able to safely deliver them to buyers.These two conditions seem simple, but it is not easy to achieve.

For example, the first source of goods, such as porcelain, silk and other valuable and best-selling goods, he doesn't even have to think about it, because not to mention him, even some strong merchants can't get the goods. These goods are generally held in the hands of some large commercial firms along the coast, such as the commercial firms of Prince Qi’s Mansion, which account for one-third of the total silk export volume every year, and the rest are all sold by some large commercial firms, large Divided by the family.

Therefore, small merchants like Shishi who don't have much capital can buy some ordinary goods at most, such as cotton cloth and sugar.Fortunately, these ordinary goods are also relatively popular, but they need to be transported to distant places for trading, and this is the second condition.

Taiwan is an island. If you want to safely transport the goods to buyers, you must use sea-going ships. Generally, sea merchants have their own fleets, and some even have more than one fleet. In fact, the stronger the sea merchants, the more The fleet is also bigger.

Small businessmen like Stone naturally don’t have the money to buy ships, but it’s okay, because there are some companies that can provide charter services, especially for small businessmen like them. There are different prices for different sizes, but a certain deposit is required when renting a boat.Capital Datang 563

Originally, with the condition of stones, it would not be troublesome to get a batch of ordinary goods. For example, his family owns a plantation and knows many plantation owners, so I dare not talk about other goods, but cane sugar can still be obtained. Some.But it was a little troublesome to ship it out, because when renting a boat, the deposit required was not a small amount, and he really couldn't afford it for a while.

But at this moment, Shitou was very lucky to meet Dunzi, his former village companion.At first they came to Tainan together, but the land they were allocated was far away, so they lost contact with each other. Unexpectedly, Dunzi was also restless. After his family's plantation was on the right track, he ran to Tainan Working part-time, the two happened to meet on the street.

After meeting Dunzi, Shitou immediately shared his business plan, which was immediately approved by Dunzi. He has been in Tainan for nearly a year, and now he has been working in a factory. He is exhausted every day and tired of doing it. , so the two hit it off, and Dunzi went home to talk to his father, anyway, he was the only son, and his father couldn't control him, so in the end Dunzi took the money from the family and pooled it with the stone, which was barely enough for this time Purchase and charter money.

In this way, Stone and Pier bought a batch of cheap cane sugar, and then rented a smallest sea boat.Originally, they wanted to join a large caravan, but they were lucky, and they caught up with Li Yin to go to Lion City. This made them very happy, and immediately sailed the boat to Keelung, and then joined Li Yin's fleet Let's go together.

Thinking of the hardships of going to sea this time, Shi Shi could not help but sigh, but thinking that if the goods can be safely transported to the Lion City, he will resell them at that time, and besides the rental fee, he can earn at least [-]% Profit, this made Shi Shi couldn't help getting excited, this was the first time he made so much money at once.

However, while Shitou was excited, he also felt somewhat regretful, because he had heard from others that before transporting a shipment of sugar to the Lion City, he could earn at least twice the profit, but with the navy of His Royal Highness King Qi bringing Nanyang After the pirates were wiped out, this business route became more and more prosperous, but this also led to a significant reduction in the profits of commodities, such as sugar, which only had a [-]% profit, and some powerful merchants simply looked down on it. They are small businessmen who transport such cheap goods. (to be continued...)
