Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 407
When Sun Shoulian came this time, he brought more than [-] ships and nearly [-] logs. After unloading the ships, the warehouses and freight yards by the Hai River did not have enough space to store them.

In desperation, after unloading the cargo, the boatman was asked to move the raft eastward to the wasteland outside the commercial area, and then move it to the wasteland outside the commercial area.

Loading and unloading such a large log requires a lot of manpower, and the loading and unloading of this big log is different from ordinary cargo. If you don't finish it, you can only leave it until the next day.

The news that big wood was sold from Liaodong to Tianjin Wei also spread in Tianjin Wei, and after various wood merchants sent people to help, they were the first to hear the news.

The wood merchants who heard the news immediately rushed to the yard where the giant log was placed. After seeing the huge log, their eyes lit up, and they naturally knew how valuable the log would be.

Sun Shoulian stayed in Tianjin Wei for a total of three days. On the fourth day, he had already made a lot of money. There was a fort in Kuandian, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Liao Town. What kind of wages, maybe it’s better to drive it directly. The big tree goes into the sea along the river, and then it is pulled by a sea boat. It doesn’t need too much cost at all, but the selling price is extremely high, and it is very easy to sell. It was sold within two days. It was sold out, and many people asked when the next time would come.

Having earned so much silver, Sun Shoulian's fortune was not over yet. He took the silver and bought it in Tianjin Wei, filled the ships when he came, and even hired ten more ships.

Tianjin Wei's goods were transported to Liao Town by sea, which was also a huge profit. This time Sun Shoulian made another fortune, and he did not know how much he made this time.

However, there are also many benefits for Tianjin Wei. The big wood from Liaozhen naturally solved the shortage of Tianjin Wei's timber, and the money earned was used in Tianjin Wei's trade, and the purchases were returned. , everyone benefits, everyone benefits.

The merchants in Tianjin Wei had a keen sense of smell, they bought a large amount of goods from Sun Shoulian, and even found business opportunities by hiring additional ships. Many wealthy merchants and risk-taking speculators either sent people or brought their own boats, and planned to go to Liaoning with Sun Shoulian. Town, after all, Mr. Wang and Sun Gueran have a good relationship, and Sun Gueran is the general of Liao Town, so he can take care of anything.

That is, at the beginning of August, unknowingly, the commercial system of Tianjin Wei was opened up with the land of Liaodong outside the customs. Now Tianjin Wei has gathered the most and richest goods resources in the world. Merchants from the north and the south gather together like this, while Liao Town has nothing but luxury. Except for purchasing products and occasionally selling special products, it has always been a closed economic circle. The gold mountains and silver seas earned by the generals at all levels in Liao Town are of no use. Now that the two sides are connected, Liao Town's goods, gold and silver will pour in Tianjin Wei, make this place more prosperous.

Sun Shoulian, the guerrilla patrolling northern Liao, brought the sea ships stationed in Jinzhouwei this time. Needless to say, Sun Shoulian's ability to sell and buy, and bargaining skills also amazed Wang Tong.

Wang Tong also inquired about Sun Shoulian's details. Sun Shoulian was a trusted general of Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liao Town.

If Sun Shoulian came to Tianjin Wei with warships, trafficked logs, bought goods, and released them from Kuandian to the sea, this is not the Liaobei area. Liaozhen's generals must have participated in it, but everyone came to do business. To earn money and enjoy wealth, who will defend the border and who will fight?
*************
This time, two of the boats from Liaozhen were slightly damaged by a collision with the raft and needed to be repaired in Tianjin Wei, but the trouble was that Tianjin Wei couldn't find a suitable shipbuilder.

In the end, it was the boatmen on other boats who probably knew how to do it, and everyone helped to repair the boat. It was a trivial matter at first, but it happened to be Wang Tong's attention.

Nowadays, Tianjin Wei goes on the river and sea every day. I don’t know how many ships come in and out, but Tianjin Wei doesn’t have many ships. Tianjin Wei has twenty warships, but they are all dilapidated. There are no shipbuilders or ship repairers who sink goods sunk by wind and waves. At most, they are carpenters who can make sampans and fishing boats in fishing villages.

For a port city, without its own ships, this is indeed a big trouble. Without ships, Wang Tong didn't even dare to start the construction of Tianjin Weihai Seaside Port.

As soon as Sun Shoulian left Tianjin Wei, Wang Tong sent someone to send a message to Lu Hai Trading Company. On the ninth day of August, Lu Hai Trading Company replied to the letter, asking Wang Tong to meet at the Xingcai Inn outside the city on August [-].

*************
Ever since Xingcai Inn flattered Wang Tong, its business has been booming, and it really fits the name of Xingcai. Although Wang Tong came here, although there was no fanfare, the inn still left three private rooms. Wang Tong used it, and the other two were vacant to isolate the eyes and ears.

When Wang Tong approached this private room, there was already a person waiting in the room, but it was not the "San Shui Wang" Shen Wang, but a thin and dark man. He is dark and deeply wrinkled, and looks like he is in his 40s, but his eyes are very bright, and he looks like he is in his 30s when he looks closely.

"The little Shen Yu has met the old master, and the young master is unable to leave at sea now. Whatever the old master has to say, it is the same as the young one."

This Shen Yu spoke politely and respectfully, since the Lu Hai Trading Company had sent a letter, this Shen Yu must be Shen Wang's cronies, Wang Tong was also polite, sat down and said:
"Your team dominates the sea, can you build ships yourself?"

Shen Yu stood aside and said proudly:

"To tell you the truth, from Goryeo to Manga and then to Tianzhu, the strongest and fastest boats are all Sanshui Wang's. These boats are all built by themselves. The rich merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang are willing to ship three How about buying it for twice the current price, if the big bosses don’t f******** think about that Franji foreign ship?”

Hearing Wang Tong's question, even though the man's face was dark, he could still see that he was blushing, and continued:

"The fan ghost's boat is just relying on its many sails and guns. If we really encounter it, we will not be afraid of him. Does the old man know that even if the fan ghost's boat wants to go to the sea here, we have to pay for it? of."

Whether it is Portugal, Spain, or the Netherlands, there are not many warships here, and they all have the task of guarding colonies, so there is indeed no advantage at sea.

Wang Tong didn't understand this joint, but the point of his inquiry was not this, but he asked again:

"I want to build a ship. Since you have shipwrights and boatmen here, can you come and help me build the ship? Tianjin Wei will provide the money and materials..."

Before Wang Tong finished speaking, Shen Yu's expression of high interest froze just now, and Wang Tong also stopped talking. Shen Yu laughed awkwardly, took a step back, bowed even more, and lowered his head. said in a voice:

"What does the old man want to build a ship for?"

"I naturally build ships to protect Tianjin Wei and transport freighters. Don't you know the shortage of ships in Tianjin Wei right now? If you continue to toss around like this, I'm afraid it will delay business everywhere."

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Shen Yu bowed even lower, and said respectfully:
"My lord, why should you be worried? With our family here, who else would dare to touch Tianjin Wei? With our family here, how could there not be enough boats? Don't worry too much, my lord!"

Wang Tong fell silent when he heard what Shen Yan said, picked up the wine cup on the table and played with it for a while, then asked with a smile:

"Shen Yu, this is the first time I see you, can you be the master of Sanshui Wang?"

Shen Yan looked up and smiled, and replied more respectfully:
"The big master can't make it through, and the younger one comes to see the elder, so naturally he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. If the elder thinks he doesn't believe it, it won't be too late to reply when the elder master returns from the sea. If you offend others, my lord, the little ones are begging for food at sea. This shipbuilding and repairing business is the lifeline, and no one is allowed to touch it. This is the rule in so many ports from south to north."

"Hehe, what about the ports in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong?"

Wang Tong asked with a smile. Quanzhou, Taizhou, and Guangzhou are all ports that are in charge of foreign trade by the government. Naturally, there are government shipwrights there. Unexpectedly, there was a sarcastic smile on Shen Yan's face, and he said disdainfully:

"What kind of good boat can be built by the shipbuilder over there, and the government uses the boat, why don't you spend money to buy it from us."

Hearing this, Wang Tong was silent for a while, sighed, put down the wine cup and said:
"Go back and ask Shen Wang, I never treat those who help me badly, so tell him this sentence."

"The younger one will send someone to send an urgent letter to the elder when he returns home, and he must pass on the elder's words, please rest assured."

Having said so much, there is no need to continue, Wang Tong nodded, and Shen Yan respectfully said goodbye and left.

When Shen Yan closed the door of the private room, Wang Tong picked up the jug on the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

*************
"These damn bastards, if Laozi hadn't lured them in by the Haihe River, they got so much mercury and oxtail medicine there, and they gradually took the lead in the country of Wa, and now Wang Tong's bastard is occupying Tianjin. Gang Chosai posted it immediately, he was flattering everywhere at that time, but now he is pushing back and forth when doing some business, it is really wolf-hearted."

In a courtyard on the outskirts of the capital city, a fat figure in the hall bared its teeth and claws, roaring loudly. Several people around them lowered their heads and dared not speak. After a while, one person said in a low voice:
"Third Master, didn't you say that we don't do business? You always go this way, Second Master..."

"If you don't do business, how do you live these days? The money is used by them, and there is no income here... Look again, look again, I still don't believe it, no one does profitable business..."
