Beauty Sihuanian

Chapter 105

Song Yuxi got the 5 taels of silver that Song Yi gave her from Nanny Gan, and put it in her small treasury.

The next day, according to the agreement with Min Lan, Song Yuxi arrived at the Shuntai Tea House early. Min Lan took a stack of pamphlets from his water transport supervision office, all of which were items for transporting goods between the north and the south. After Song Yuxi took the pamphlet, he At the beginning, Min Lan was eating snacks and drinking tea.

"What are you going to ship? It looks real."

Song Yuxi looked down at the brochure, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "I want to see if anyone has shipped those exotic gadgets."

Min Lan was puzzled: "Exotic gadgets? What! What do you think you are doing with those countless ones! Transport some silk, tea, fruits, etc., and they will sell better in the capital, so you have to think about sales. "

Song Yuxi just smiled and said nothing.

There is no ban on the coast, and these exotic things have not been seen by people, so people don't know how popular these new gadgets are after they arrive in the capital.With a flash of light, he finally saw what he was looking for, pointed to a ship named 'Huaidong' in the brochure and said:
"This ship departs from Lujing. Let's take the route from Huaihai South to Xiangjiang."

Min Lan leaned over to take a look, and said, "I don't know, it's just what is written on it. However, judging from the number of ships written on it, it seems that it is not very popular. There are only two trips, and there are more than half a year in a year. I spend most of my time at the pier, not to mention that this ship is not a portable one. You have never done business, so you don’t understand these things. Only when the ship travels a lot can it be said that the goods transported are popular and popular, but this ship, Look what's going on here?"

Song Yuxi bent her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't worry about what I'm transporting. I heard that water transport can also buy and rent ships from merchants privately. Simply put, I buy a ship and use the government's waterway. All procedures follow the government's regulations. Ask for it."

Min Lan nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing. Do you want to buy a ship or rent a ship? Do you want to transport goods? The price of buying a ship is too high, even if you rent a ship, don't rent it like this. Look at this ship, the tonnage It is big, old, and not light, and it transports some stones, and they are all worthless stones. Why do you want this kind of gravel boat? If you really want to rent a boat, I will introduce a few to you. A good boat with beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. The things that are sold on the boat are the best-selling items in the capital. Many people use those boats to transport goods. If you want to do a lot of money, you can rent the whole boat for half a year or a year. Yes, you only ship your own cargo. If you just want to try it, you can share the ship with other people. I have experience in this..."

Song Yuxi put away the booklet, stroking the words "Huaidonghao" with her slender fingers, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.These three words, in the next three years, are simply another way of saying that every day is making money. When the sea ban is lifted, the Huaidong will start from Huaihai, go all the way to the southwest, pass through the East China Sea, flooded with pearls, and pass through the South China Sea Malacca, go straight to the ocean. When that time comes, merchants will ship those exotic things from overseas, and then ship some things that don’t exist outside the country. This is another deal. Anyway, no matter what it is, as long as it is circulated , the wealth that it brings is inexhaustible.But now, the Huaidong can't go out, so it can only transport some worthless things in the inland area.

He smiled at Min Lan and said, "It's not renting, it's buying."

Min Lan was shocked: "Are you going to buy a boat? Or buy a boat like this? Do you think this boat is not popular and think it's so cheap? That's not the case. The price of the government boat is the same no matter what it transports. expensive."

"I know it's expensive, so you can ask me how much it costs." Song Yuxi returned the booklet to Min Lan and said persistently.

Min Lan looked at the booklet and thought Song Yuxi was crazy.Said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the price of government boats is generally no less than 3 taels. If you buy private boats, it is estimated to be around 1 taels. Government boats are not worth buying."

Song Yuxi didn't speak, but looked at Min Lan. Min Lan sighed and said, "Okay, okay. If you insist on buying, I'll go back and ask for you."

"I know you are doing it for my own good, but let me tell you, most of the boats transported by water in the future will be sold, and whoever has the money will buy them. You think the boat you shared with others is not Did anyone buy it? It was sold long ago."

Min Lan was full of disbelief, and said: "It seems to be true. I am two years older than you, and I didn't say these things. What do you know, little girl!"

The two talked for a while, and then went home.

Two days later, Min Lan asked about the price. The Huaidong can be sold at 5000 taels, and a set of water transportation official documents will be given away. Song Yuxi prepared the money without thinking about it, and followed Min Lan to the water transportation The Yamen Beijing Office signed the contract, got the ship's passage documents, and all the procedures were in place. From then on, she became the owner of the Huaidong.Although it is not of much use now, but after waiting for two years, we will see the effect.
