Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 14
Annan's port is not big, and there are only a few powerful merchants.

Messages travel very fast.

Xie Jue was still writing the goods list, so someone approached Xie Guang and asked Xie Guang if he had a dragon group.

Only then did Xie Guang know that Xie Jue had made such a big deal.

Annan is close to the Song Dynasty. Although the consumption of tea is quite large, the price is really not high.

Generally, Tuancha, which sells for about [-] Wen in Quanzhou, can be sold for about [-] Wen here.

Although there are three times the profit, it is insignificant compared to the profit of other goods going to Dashi.

Therefore, unless they are originally running short distances, ocean-going fleets like his are generally just supplies in Annan.

At most, when returning to the voyage, if there are still more positions, then replenish some valuables.

(Because the treasures here are much more expensive than those farther away)

However, this time, Xie Jue relied on Long Tuan to sell [-] catties of tuan tea at a price of [-] cents!
Not only is he envious of the money, but the sea merchants who specialize in this place are even more envious.

However, when you talk to the lord, the other party says, then you should take out the dragon ball too.

You can also order tea so that our lord will lose his soul directly, what does Mr. Xie say.

The meaning of the lord is very clear. The tea merchants who can produce dragon balls are naturally of much better quality than other tea merchants, and the price is several times more expensive!
It's easy for you to increase the price, bring Longtuan and Gongcha over here!

Order another pot of tea!
As soon as these words came out, many people fell silent.

It doesn't matter if you can get the dragon group?

Only Xie Guang felt a little nervous in his heart.

Dragon balls are the best in tribute tea, and it is only a dream for businessmen to get dragon balls.

But Xie Jue's background is different, maybe he has more than a few dragon balls in his hands.

If he can share some of it, he can bring it to Dashi, and he may get a thousand taels of gold for a catty. Moreover, if he pleases the king of Dashi, the price of other things will be easy to talk about.

Xie Jue knew what Xie Guang was thinking at a glance, so he didn't pick on him, he just frowned slightly and said, "It's a little bit, but it's all been sold just now."

"Ah? All of them?" Xie Guang didn't believe it. He thought to himself that I didn't say anything, and you said that they were all sold. What do you mean?
Xie Jue nodded, and said gratefully: "I have to thank the captain for pointing it out."

"Me?" Xie Guangpi twitched a smile.

May I mention something?
Let me remind you to use Long Tuan as an introduction, other Tuan teas are sold at such a high price?

"Yes." Xie Jue said very sincerely: "The dragon ball was originally given to me by a distant relative of mine. I have never been willing to drink it. Didn't you remind me that tea is not easy to keep? I took it out a few days ago , As soon as I smelled it, I found something changed, so I hurriedly took advantage of the good appearance, thinking about selling some money, fortunately, the lord you introduced is a good person, not only received a high price, but also bought me a lot of money Tea, in this way, you won’t be afraid of spoiling it.”

The corners of Xie Guang's eyes twitched a little.

Xindao, if I knew you had a dragon ball in your hand, I would not have reminded you, and bought it directly in the name of safekeeping!
Mistake!
The smile on Xie Jue's face did not change, and he said, "Thanks to Captain Xie for reminding me this time, I have already sent someone to send 50 taels of gold, a little thank you, don't be disgusted."

Xie Guang held his breath in his heart, and after a while he spit it out slowly, and said with an even bigger smile on his face: "Oh, my nephew is so polite, I should do it, it's not easy for you to earn some money, then, uncle So I’m not being polite, I accepted your gift. By the way, I also heard that you bought [-] catties of rice, why did you buy so much? Why didn’t you bring something else?”

Xie Jue sneered in his heart, but his face still showed a look of surprise in an elegant manner, and said, "Isn't it good? I heard that treasures and spices are cheaper than here in the future, so it's okay to buy them if you think about it." It takes up space, and the rice is cheap, so it’s good to bring it on board for food.”

Xie Guang felt relieved immediately.

Secretly said a fool.

Originally, I thought Xie Jue was so smart, but it seems that it was just a mistake.

One hundred thousand catties of rice, when do you want to eat it!

The cabin is occupied, how do you load the cargo at Srivijaya?

Hehe laughed twice, Xie Guang left.

When the boat left Annan Port, Su Yue also realized why Xie Jue bought those rice.

Brewer's!
Although compared with sorghum in the north, this kind of rice does not produce enough alcohol.

But it can also make wine.

And the taste is sweet and the taste is better.

It was also at this time that Su Yue realized that Xie Jue's boat was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

In addition to those sailors, there are stewards who are proficient in silk, stewards who are proficient in treasures (with those who picked goods in Annan together), stewards who are proficient in spices, and translators who are proficient in foreign languages...

Even the chef in the kitchen is good at making wine.

When the boat arrived at Sanfoqi, the first batch of rice wine brewed by the chef brought great benefits to Xie Jue.

There are many people in the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, and the folk customs are tough, and because they have lived on the water for a long time, they have good wine.

But the fruit wine brewed by himself is not strong enough, and the wine brought by the sea boats from the Song Dynasty is too strong and the quantity is small.

Xie Jue's rice wine has a higher alcohol content than fruit wine, but it is not as strong as white wine, and the taste is suitable for both men and women.

In addition, when Xie Jue was talking about the various benefits of this rice wine to the body with his immortal posture, he tasted the wine for a while.

Immediately aroused the love of the local chiefs.

Also recommended to the king.

This time, Xie Jue did not sell wine, but dedicated all the wine to the king and several chiefs.

But the king waved his hand and directly rewarded him with 200 taels of gold, and asked him for [-] catties of tuancha at a price of three taels.

Xie Jue followed the old rules and directly bartered for the same value.

Of course, those people like Xie Guang knew about this.

And Xie Jue took Xie Qi, Su Yue, the translator and several stewards into the inland, taking advantage of the time when the fleet was replenishing and trading with everyone at the port.

These inland places are still some distance away from the port. Maritime merchants usually unload goods at the port, and then the Sanfoqi merchants at the port send them to the inland at a high price. The spices are also collected by the port merchants first, and then sold to sea ships at a high price. merchant.

This time, the price difference in the middle is very considerable.

Xie Jue used rice wine and tribute tea to open the way, making the chiefs on the coast turn a blind eye, and reached a consensus with the chiefs in the interior.

Xie Jue sent wine, tea and silk in private, and ordered an equal amount of cloves, sandalwood, cardamom and other things with the chiefs, and agreed to ship them when they returned.

The price of Sanfo Qi’s tuancha is about [-] Wen (two taels of silver), and there are many people, so the demand for tea is also high. Most of the tuancha brought by the fleet is sold here. Although Xie Jue’s The sales price is high, but thinking that he still has so many tea leaves, I am afraid that they will all rot on the road, and the jealousy is gone.

There were also one or two kind-hearted captains who came to give some advice to Xie Jue, asking Xie Jue to dump all the tea at a low price, and then replace it with spices that can sell for a lot of money in Dashi.

Xie Jue also followed suit and traded [-] catties of tuancha with the chief who tasted the wine first.

It's just that the chief gave an extra third of the goods, so he kept it from the others.
